Can bulging discs be fixed?

Back in 1989, when I first began treating patients with back and neck pain, most people were aware that the bones in their spine were separated by discs (likely a result of effective chiropractic marketing). Unfortunately, due to that same widespread chiropractic marketing, a majority of my patients believed that their discs…

The wonders of watermelon

When I was a child, I didn’t believe that watermelon had a redeeming quality—beyond using its seeds as a projectile arsenal of sorts. You see, those very same seeds made eating watermelon so tedious, that I steered clear of this fruit for close to two decades! Then something glorious (and likely, genetically altered) happened:…

That’s small potatoes

Fear sometimes pushes me to failure or disappointment. In this 131 lb-weight-loss journey, I have a new challenge. I have to keep my “what if” doubts and fears at arm’s length, and rely on my God infused-strong, self-controlled commitment close by. When doubt pushes it’s way into my heart, the weak and…

Buddy goes to work

What would your work day look like if you brought your dog along to the office? Imagine your favorite ball of fur beside you as you meet with clients. Or make phone calls. Snuggled up beside you as you enter data on your computer. A growing number of businesses are allowing employees to bring their dogs to work. A survey of pet owners…

The secret to losing 130 lbs.

I would love to share with you the secret of losing weight. I really would. I wish it were that easy…. The secret to this losing weight battle is that there is no secret, just a willingness and a legit motive to become a better version of myself for God.

I surrender

Are you a control freak? Do you get in your own way sabotaging your success? It’s common, but it doesn’t have to be that way. One of the biggest blessings in my life is learning to surrender. I still have my moments, don’t get me wrong, but surrendering has offered me the most freedom in my life. Mind: So what does surrendering…

The skinny on diet soda

If you are trying to win the “battle of the bulge” it’s likely that you have turned to diet soda as your beverage of choice. Bubbly, bursting with flavor, and no calories—who could ask for more? Well, I am sorry to be the one to burst all those tiny bubbles, my friend, but I have some not-so-good news for you. Recent studies have…

Perseverance

Perseverance…ever feel like that’s your middle name at times? I know I do. Get knocked down and get right back up again. Perseverance makes us stronger and keeps us from losing hope! It’s a gift God gives if we choose to apply it. Mind:… When I mentally think about perseverance, my mind takes me back to the childhood
