Blessed To Have A Radio Show

Dr.Steven — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:46:23 +0000

This morning I had such a great time going to the radio station to record our radio show “Walking in Divine Health”. I had a chance to meet Ron Taylor for the first time, and he is such a great guy. As we were recording, I realize that I have the greatest job in the world! I love being a Chiropractor and this passion is growing stronger year by year. Now, I get to sit in a multi-million dollar studio and get my message to hundreds of thousands of people in the North Texas region about chiropractic and natural health. I hope you guys get a chance to listen to the show. It’s on The Word 100.7 FM at 5:30pm every Monday. Have a blessed day!

Relieve Constipation and Colic on a 6 Week Old Baby

Dr.Laura — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 02:54:28 +0000

One of my patients just recently had a premature baby and since bringing the baby home the baby has had constipation, colic, acid reflux, and constant choking. The mom was distraught and very upset. The baby had to sleep in a infant car seat so the reflux wouldn’t wake up him. The baby’s pediatrician referred her to a pediatric neurologist. She was going to make the appointment but she found out that his next available appointment was 4 months out. Of course she did not want her baby to suffer so she asked me if chiropractic could help her poor baby. I said if his spine was misaligned in some way and is putting pressure on the spinal nerves or the spinal cord then yes chiropractic can help. She decided to bring him in and have me check him. During the examination, I found some major misalignments in his neck and lower back region. With a gentle adjustment on this 6 week old baby, I was able to reduce the pressure on the nerves and the spinal cord. That night this baby had the best night of sleep ever. The was no reflux to agitate him. He was not choking. His colic had improved and his bowel movements are working the way it should be. His last adjustment was 5 days ago and I just saw his mom today for her regular adjustment and she told me that he is still doing very well. She can’t wait to bring him in again to continue the success and build on from here. His life, his health is completely changed and of course for the parents, they have a more normal life and a “brand new” baby. I was honored to be that baby’s treating doctor and I new that the power of an adjustment can do wonders for that baby. Now, the baby doesn’t have to see that neurologist!

Great Fried Chicken Recipe

DrLaura — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:47:31 +0000

Are you looking for some comfort food? Well, look no further, this fried chicken recipe is delicious, full of flavor and best of all loaded with nutrition and healthy fats!

6-8 Organic all white meat chicken tenders

3 organic, free range eggs

1 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup almonds (minced in food processor)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup coconut oil

Rinse chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Beat eggs and put in semi shallow dish. Combine flour and almond mixture with salt and pepper to taste. (Always use celtic sea salt. It contains natural iodine which supports thyroid health.)

In a stainless steel frying pan (don’t use non stick because it contains chemicals that get released into your food) melt approximately half a cup of coconut oil on med-high heat. Coat chicken with egg mixture and then with flour/almond mixture. Place in frying pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes each side or until cooked through. Use all natural applesauce to dip in and enjoy! This is so yummy! Our son gobbled it up!

The cleanse is over…but it’s just the beginning!

DrLaura — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:20:14 +0000

Well, I officially finished the cleanse on Thursday. I lost a good 6.5 lbs, and regained energy that I had been lacking since the birth of our son over a year ago. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to follow it was and how fast the three weeks went by. Although my diet as well as our family’s diet has always been very clean and healthy, there is always room for improvement. So, it is just the beginning. The entire point of doing a cleanse is not to do and go back to your old habits. It is to cleanse the major systems of your body and adopt better habits. Now that you have encouraged your body to function more efficiently ask yourself what you can take from this to carry forward. Whether it is eating breakfast or snacking more frequently during the day with nutrient rich foods, make this the beginning. If after the cleanse you are still experiencing unwanted symptoms, you may have underlying toxicity problems going on that require further investigating and testing. Be sure to talk with Dr. Steve or myself about the toxicity testing and customized nutrition programs that we do. Always remember first and foremost to get your regular corrective chiropractic adjustments. Without a healthy functioning nervous system your diet, exercise, and emotional health will never benefit your body to reach it’s God-given health potential. Stay the course and make your chiropractic adjustments your number one health priority!

Asthma and Allergies Nearly Gone!

Dr.Steven — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:06:39 +0000

A young child and his mom 3 months ago heard that we were chiropractors and thru the grapevine she had found that perhaps chiropractic adjustments could help her young son be relieved from his miserable asthma and allergies. Well, after performing a comprehensive exam and x-rays, this child had a moderate to severe curvature of his upper and middle back, where all the nerves that go to the lungs exit from. After 1 month of treatment his mother, in joy, told us that her son’s ability to run around during one of his games without his inhaler was wonderful. He continues to do better and is hardly on any meds anymore. A recent x-ray showed what was once a curvature of the spine is now nearly perfectly straight! He is able to be outside in the cooler weather and play with his friends and not have to worry about having an “episode”. Mom and Pop are happy that he can be a rambunctious boy and not have to worry about his health. But the person most joyful is the young boy himself, knowing that some simple adjustments to his spine made him able to play just as hard as those other boys without consequences. Now, this is why Dr.Laura and I just love what we do! Have a blessed weekend!

A Great Story To Share

Dr.Steven — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:52:57 +0000

One of our young patients is doing so impressive in school that he got a Star for the week. This is an incredible accomplishment for him and also for his family. He had some challenges in school and many of his teachers were pressing his parents to medicate him. However, the parents knew how deadly and perhaps ineffective some of these meds were that they decided to go the natural route. Under our care and hard work from the parents, this young patient is able to focus and learn better in school. It just goes to show you that the nervous system plays such a large role in our health and wellness. Don’t underestimate the power of you nerves and your spine.

Organic Co-op, You Have To Do It

Dr.Laura — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:32:11 +0000

Organic vegetables and fruits from Co-op

If you guys are not doing an organic Co-op, you need to. This is where we get most of our vegetables and fruits for the week. They way it works is every Co-op has a fee for the month or for per box. When you join you and other people in the same Co-op pool the money together and usually an individual will go to a Farmer’s Market and purchase the products and split it with the other Co-op members. Usually, whatever is most common or available at the Farmer’s Market will be purchased so you really don’t know what you’ll get. The great thing about that is when you get a vegetable that you don’t know too much about, it makes you become creative in your meals and more importantly it allows you to try a vegetable that you normally wouldn’t purchase at the supermarket. If you want more information about a Co-op near you, you can always Google it or you can contact us at www.bestlifechiro.com
