Natural Solutions For ADHD And Inspiration From Mom

drsteve — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:10:01 +0000

Today I got an email from a private client asking me if I had any information about natural ADHD solutions she could share with a friend that was considering putting her child on medication.

So I clipped this piece of nutrition and lifestyle coaching from a Q&A session I did as part of a coaching program last year.

(I've decided to include these detailed Q&A archives as one of the bonuses when I get the finishing touches on our upcoming Pain Relief And Posture Training Course.)

But for today you'll learn some key nutrients and therapeutic lifestyle change solutions for brain health, and especially for ADHD.

I cover a lot of controversial ground on this one so be sure to leave your comments and let me know what you think.

Keep thinking good thoughts, eating good food, and please KEEP MOVING…like a child.

Dr. Steve

P.S. Today marks a year to the day that my Mom passed. So in the spirit of my biggest cheerleader and supporter, I want to tell you that you can do ANYTHING when you focus on immersing yourself in a healing environment each moment.

Then your next moment becomes better, then the next moment even better than that!

And THIS MOMENT is all there is.

Remember…Your past does not define you. It is only a memory in your mind. It can be released in this moment. Then your body, without the thoughts of guilt, worry, shame, anger, and fear can express your innate state of health and vitality.

There is no past to feel guilty about and and no future to worry about…we only have THIS MOMENT. And we can choose peace.

So focus on something that makes you happy and fulfilled. Make amends. And see only the innocence and beauty in everyone you meet.

Thanks Mom. You still continue to be my teacher.

I love you.

Break This Loop For Permanent Healthy Change (Core Wellness Curriculum Part 1)

drsteve — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:39:33 +0000

(VIDEO BELOW)

Yesterday I had the honor of teaching a group of 30 teenagers at Community Montessori about the intense impact that their thoughts have on their health and their life.

It was the first of 3 "Core Wellness Curriculum" lectures for the teens program and it was so cool to see their eyes and minds light up.

My favorite quote from one of the learners, “You just blew my mind!"

I clipped a 7 minute piece for you that explains:

- Exactly why you keep getting the same results in your life over and over

- The #1 tool you must use in order to break the loop forever and

create different results for your health and your life.

- How to squarely place yourself 100% in charge of what happens to you

- Why in order to make your life really mean something, you have to follow

"The Opposite Rule"

Plus you get to see my dance move and why it's important that I don't care what you think about it!

No matter if you're trying to get out of pain, fix your posture, lose weight, or whatever…THOUGHTS are always first and will make or break your success.

I wish someone would have taught this to me when I was a teenager.

Watch the video. And share it if you feel like it could help someone else! Spread the love and have fun!

Keep thinking good thoughts, eating good food, and KEEP MOVING!

Dr. Steve

P.S. It really felt good to teach these kids. It inspired me to create a new free training series for you as well. So stay tuned for that.

My Secret Love Affair With Cardio [Cardio vs High Intensity Interval Training]

drsteve — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:55:11 +0000

You've probably seen or heard the warnings NOT to do cardio exercise and that it's actually a "myth" you should avoid.

As I was doing my cardio workout today, I was telling myself I needed to set the record straight for you.

Then I thought…I've got this crazy iPhone…and it fit perfectly in a little slot on the machine…so I let it rip!

I also reveal some secrets about how to use high intensity interval training for maximum fat burning and when I think it does more harm than good.

The videography is a bit unorthodox but the message is clear. So jump on the elliptical with me for a few minutes and learn some smart exercise strategies that will help you program your body to burn more fat and avoid hurting yourself!

Your Question…What is the most confusing or frustrating thing

for you about exercise? Post a comment and let me know!

Recommended Reading: The Big Book Of Fitness And Health by Dr. Phil Maffetone

Rather than guess, it’s best to use a formula, which is not only more sensible,it has a proven record of success and is more scientific: The 180-Formula. This method also considers physiological rather than just chronological age. To find your maximum aerobic exercise heart rate, first subtract your age from 180. Next, find the best category for your present state (as listed below).

The 180-Formula

1.) Subtract your age from 180 (180 – age)

2.) Modify this number by selecting one of the following categories:

a. If you have, or are recovering from, a major illness (heart disease, any operation, any hospital stay, etc.) or if you are on any regular medication,

……………. Subtract 10

b. If you have not exercised before, or if you have been exercising but have been injured or are regressing in your efforts (not showing much improvement), or if you often get colds or the flu, or if you have allergies,

…………….. Subtract 5

c. If you have been exercising for up to two years at least 4 times a week without any significant injury, and you have not had colds or flu more than once or twice a year,

……………… Subtract 0

d. If you have been exercising for more than two years without any injury, have been making progress, and are a competitive athlete,

……………… Add 5

For example, if you are 30 years old and fit into category b:

180-30=150, then 150-5=145 beats per minute. This is called your maximum aerobic exercise heart rate.

In this example, exercising at the heart rate of 145 beats per minute will be highly aerobic, allowing you to develop maximum aerobic function. Exercising at heart rates above this level will add a significant anaerobic component to the workout, and develop your anaerobic system, exemplified by a shift to more sugar and less fat burning. If you prefer to exercise below your max aerobic heart rate, you will still derive good aerobic benefits, but progress at a slightly slower pace.

Now Open: Free Private Coaching Session For 15 People

drsteve — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 01:33:24 +0000

BREAKING NEWS!

Hey, I've got a real quick announcement for you…

I'm doing a super quick re-opening of our "Organic Posture and Therapeutic Lifestyle Coaching Course" for 15 people who would like to take advantage of a one-on-one private coaching session with me for 30 minutes at no charge.

I'm offering this free coaching session for a few different reasons.

1. I need some help sharpening my skills on some new tools and technology I'll be using in my coaching program in the new year (webinar services, streaming video, etc.)

2. To document some new case studies about the immediate pain relief and energy enhancing benefits that often occur with the Organic Posture Method.

3. I've been getting a ton of emails and comments requesting individual help that I just can't do without spending some time to get to know the person. This will provide that opportunity.

The price will be the lowest it will ever be for the full course and you'll get $150 worth of my time for free.

I will be opening the course back up in January but there will NOT be an opportunity for private coaching like this when we re-open.

There is a short qualification form so we can avoid wasting time and money if we're not right for each other.

I'll be taking applications until 6PM on MONDAY, DEC. 12 and I'll be sending out the link to the purchase page on TUESDAY, DEC. 13th at NOON!

This will all happen quick, and completing the form does not obligate you to anything, so if this interests you, complete the qualification survey now at:

More Hip Hinge Tips To Protect Your Spine Plus…How To Correct Forward Head Posture

drsteve — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:59:08 +0000

Dr. Steve reveals the powerful secret of "Organic Posture"

[Video Below]

Since there's been such a positive response to my recent episodes on how to protect your spine with hip hinging and hip mobility in general, I put this this episode together to take it to another level and help you reverse the "old looking" and damaging "Forward Head Posture".

This combination move is a "must do" for you if you want to stay upright and pain free so you continue to do the things you love to do!

You'll be using the ultra ninja trick that I call the "Push Away Phenomenon" of "Organic Posture".

This special method bypasses all of your brain's faulty wiring and corrupted movement programs and "taps in" to your brain's perfect posture program that you developed from the time you were born to the time you were 6 years old.

Think about it. You don't see many 4 to 6 year olds with bad posture, do you?

So go ahead and use the "push away phenomenon" I talk about in this video to re-awaken your confident, youthful, "organic" posture! Your back, your hips, your neck, your shoulders, and even your knees will thank you!

2 Important Hip Exercises That Save Your Spine

drsteve — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:49:52 +0000

Dr. Steve Demonstrates Good Functional Hip Movement

The most important back pain exercises,

in my opinion, are actually moves that improve

HIP flexibility and mobility.

(Video Below)

I am grateful that I learned this early on in my career as a doctor of chiropractic because way too often people with back pain merely get their back adjusted (which can give blessed relief) BUT IT DOESN'T "STICK"!

When the spine is repeatedly adjusted or manipulated over and over again without paying attention to the ROOT CAUSE, it's very possible to get "addicted" to another adjustment when the pain or other symptoms return!

My view? Let's GET TO THE CORE of the problem! And it's usually that the HIPS are not doing their job (commonly because they're too tight). So the back has to make up for the lost movement in the hips and that ends up overloading the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia!

What you'll see in the video is the 2 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT HIP MOVEMENTS that I teach all my private clients and my online students at the Core Wellness Institute that will save your spine and help your brain "re-groove" a good FUNCTIONAL hip "movement program".

Can YOU do the second move without making the

"Butt Mistake" I talk about around 4:30?

Immune Optimizers – 6 Natural Strategies To Avoid Allergies, Colds, and Flu

drsteve — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:50:39 +0000

It's no secret that your posture and your movement patterns or “programs” can affect your pain and energy levels…

But did you know that it can it affect your IMMUNE system, too?

I explain this and 5 other "Immune System Optimizers" in today’s audio podcast that you can listen to on the site OR download it and take it with you on the road.

(right click "download" and select "save link as" or "save file as" to save to computer or mp3 player)

Here's the deal...when your body is in the stressful "rounded back, head poked forward" position of crossed posture syndrome (think also: desk job syndrome, computer posture syndrome, or gaming posture syndrome), your nervous system is getting a stress and protection message!

And the overwhelming evidence that has come out over the last 40 years from scientific field of psychoneuroimmunology conclude that when you have STRESS…you have a sabotaged immune system!

Bottom line?…Poor Posture = STRESS message = HIGHER RISK OF COLDS, FLU, ALLERGIES, ETC.!

So…since your immune system is so intricately and directly related to stress, It's CRUCIAL that you reduce stress from ALL angles…Mindset, Movement, and Nutrition!

That's what today's audio podcast is all about. You'll discover "6 Immune Optimizers" that can help you "Build Your Buffer" against allergies, colds, flu, and all types of immune related diseases…even cancer!

What do YOU do to keep your immune system healthy???

Leave any questions or comments below the post in the comments!

Dr. Steve

P.S. This is the type of content you'll receive as a student in the Core Wellness Institute when we re-open the home training course. So… in ADDITION to the "Myobalance Method" exercises, you'll learn how to reduce stress in all areas of your lifestyle so your automatic perfect posture can emerge organically because you feel so amazing!

“What Exercise Should I Do If I Have A Disc Problem?

drsteve — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 17:21:39 +0000

The most common question I get when someone starts in on our exercises to reverse Crossed Posture Syndrome is…"What if I have a low back disc issue?"

Today's episode gives you the same advice I give to my private clients suffering from disc related pain. You'll also learn where you can get the most important handout my private clients receive.

Even if you don't have a current problem, download it, print it, and put it in your first aid kit…seriously.

You'll also learn how to handle the inflammation that comes along with the injury and how to "calm the fire" with natural supplements that don't impair your body's tissue healing process.

Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxin sodium (Aleve), Tylenol, etc all have nasty side effects that can adversely affect healing as well as mess up your gut and liver. So now you'll at least have another option.

Please share this important information on Facebook and any other social network you're a part of by clicking the facebook button at the bottom of this post and go "Like" the Core Wellness Institute!

It truly can save a lot of unnecessary suffering. Have an AWESOME weekend and a safe Halloween! Be sure to look below the video for more resources and links!!

QUICK HALLOWEEN SURVIVAL TIP!...Remember that sugar suppresses the immune system so PLEASE take it easy and stay healthy!

We actually buy our kids' junk candy with cold hard cash and give them a couple of organic dark chocolate bars to savor. It saves us a lot of belly aches, colds,and flu.
