Make Monday Awesome

I’m interested in your thoughts this week, I came across this YouTube video on neuroticism, it made a lot of sense to me and my experience, but would love to know what you think. Here's the link to the YouTube video, hope it helps and works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJISydQ0AQQ&t=378s

I believe you can get what you want in life. Even if it’s a huge goal that right now seems unattainable. I also think we get in our way more often that we think. In todays podcast I share one way we mess it up for ourselves.

Believe it or not there is a way to still enjoy your holiday traditions and treats without completely destroying your health and weight. That’s what today’s episode is all about.

Does pain mean things are getting worse or could it mean that things are getting better and we have to go through the emotion of pain to find all the things we desire. If it’s true that growth happens outside our comfort zone, then why aren’t we willing to spend more time in that discomfort?

I don’t know why some people seem to love somethings over others and I don’t know what motivates people. I do know that I hated going to work out, yet know I like it, am consistent and see results. Here’s what’s worked for me.

The purpose of this episode is to help start a dialogue around health. I would argue that we are worse off today than we were just a few years ago, and I know that the people who are the healthiest, look at things a bit different. I don’t want to offer medical advice, but I do want to create more awareness around health.

Honestly though, Is there anything more delicious than sugar? It was a rhetorical question, the answer is no, it is the best. With that being said sugar is not always conducive to helping you meet your health goals, and, It's addictive. So on this week's episode, Rachelle and I discuss what we've done, and how it's helped.

Why your back is still tight and injured The missing component to most people’s health, especially physical health, is strength training. That’s doesn’t downplay the importance of mobility - not the same as flexibility - but it does shed light on something that is missing from your life. In this episode, we discuss what strength training is, how to do more of it, and how to add it to your life safely. -Dr. K & R

Be careful what you spend you spend your time thinking about and consuming. There are no wasted thoughts; literally, everything you think about moves you closer to who and where you want to be or away from there. Sorry if that sounded threatening, it's just that something became abundantly clear to us the other day, and we wanted to share. It started with Kreso discovering a weird kind of emotional addiction, and it evolved for the better from there. -Dr.K and Dr. R

How do you get well and stay well? Is that even a thing? If yes, is it possible without having to spend hours doing rehab or working on it? On this podcast, we take you through the thinking process of the steps and ideas that we use in our own health and with that of our patients seeking our help. Oftentimes, it's not about 'more,' it's about 'right' and right timing. Check out this episode to hear more. -Dr. K and -Dr. R

On my Instagram this week, I asked you to ask me anything. By far the most common question - it came in various forms but the theme was always the same - How do I (we) maintain a level of happiness despite the current climate? That’s what this podcast is about: 1) Stop doing list - I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, if I didn’t have a business, I would not own a smartphone or spend any of my time online. Removing myself from anything toxic has always been step one, and the media, all of it, is nothing but toxic. It’s never been about the sharing of information it’s been about keeping your attention, and invoking fear works the best for keeping attention. Kreso and I have also made an agreement to hold ourselves accountable to not complaining and speaking about negative things. 2) Seeing my friends and family 3) Creativity - one of the best things about owning and having a business is that you always have to find ways to be creative. Creation gives you a sense of control which is the very opposite of

"You become what you think about most." -Earl Nightingale Those are words to live by and are extremely important when it comes to your health. For too many people, what they are told becomes their identity and governs their lives and health for many years. This is not to say that medical examinations and diagnoses' are not important; they are, just don't let them define you or limit what you're capable of achieving in life. On this episode, we look at false positives, at least when it comes to structural examinations, and how many "asymptomatic healthy people" walk around with and what would be considerable structural damage to joints with no pain or symptoms.

Have you ever been excited about your new diet or felt an extreme amount of inspiration to get to the gym and pursue your new body or new goals?   Isn't it funny how it all fades, and then a week later, you're back to where you were before, feeling unmotivated to get back to it? I'm hoping this video can give you some insight into what you need to do to continue along the path you want for yourself. The answer really is hiding in plain sight, but not many see it or think that's it. On this week's episode, we hope we can give you some insights on how to "stay with it," even when things get tough.

You bend over, tie up your shoe, or maybe pick up your child or grandchild. Something pops (or not), and you cannot stand back up. The pain can be excruciating.  It can be sharp, burning, numbing, travel down your leg or produce that horrible 'weakness' feeling. You've just tweaked your back.   But, do you know what to do about it?  The most common thinking pattern is "I've got to stretch it away."  But this might not be the best idea. In some circumstances, it's a terrible idea that could cause more harm than help. On this episode, we share the why's on when to stretch and when not to and why other exercises might be a better idea than the "typical ones" we been taught.

If you're trying and are unhappy with your diet - specially if you're having a hard time with carbs - this episode is for you. Take it from two people that have struggle for a long time with dysfunctional eating and, now looking back with clarity, food addiction. The purpose of this episode is to share what we've found helpful, not so helpful, and how we found success. Success not meaning - we stick to a militant way of eating rather, we eat what we want with peace, while being happy with our bodies and health. Hope it helps and we'd love to hear your feedback.
