As I have heard from many you the most difficult meal to put together is breakfast. Many of you say you want a quick, easy, and healthy meal yet resort to bowls of cereal and oatmeal.

I want to share with you 4 of my favorite breakfast meals so you can keep you and your family healthy. These take less than 10 minutes to make and are super cheap.

Lastly, many of your friends, family, and co-workers are not on this e-mail list and are missing out on some vital information to their health. Please invite them to our quarterly Dinner With Doc at Eclipse Di Luna on May 20th at 7:00 PM. Click here to register. 

4 Breakfast Ideas

1) Egg and Avocados

Hard boil 4 eggs (Do not overdo them. Should not have a gray ring around yolk). Place eggs and avocado in a bowl and mash up using a fork. Some people like to slice the hard boiled vertically and put yolk in a bowl with the avocado. They will then mash up the yolk and avocado and place it back in the egg to make avocado deviled eggs. When I make these for guests I like to put some cayenne pepper on top of this.

2) Beyond Organic Hot Dogs

I know this one is going to sound strange but one of my favorite breakfasts is hot dogs and onions. Don’t knock it til you try it! The beef is 100% grassfed and raised in beautiful pastures in the Ozark Mountains. They are treated humanely and are never fed a grain their entire life. The only ingredients are: beef, water, organic honey, sea salt, organic mustard, organic paprika, celery powder, organic coriander, organic garlic, and organic black pepper. They take 5 minutes to heat up on a stove top with coconut oil and make a fast, delicious breakfast. Recently, Sam has become a Certified Health Coach with Beyond Organic so talk to her about getting some hot dogs as they are currently running specials.

3) Banana/Almond Butter

An all time favorite in the Cohen household is cutting up an apple or banana and putting it together with raw creamy almond butter from Trader Joes. The key is buying organic apples and making sure the almond butter is raw and unsalted. It is rare to find raw almond butter anymore especially at the $4 price at Trader Joes. Also, apples are highly sprayed fruit so make sure to buy them organic.

4) No Granola Granola Cereal

Recently I have found this company that makes grainless granola which is AMAZING. The only ingredients are: Organic Coconut, Almonds, Prunes (unsweetened, unsulfured), Carrots,Himalayan Sea Salt. We take this and mix it with almond milk as it is a super healthy bowl of cereal. Much different than the other crap you find in grocery stores where the box is probably better for you than the “food” inside.

One Life: This is all we get!

Knowing that we will be here on this Earth one time the question becomes: What are you willing to do to make it your best?

This question constantly feeds through my head as I live my life. Whether I am about to put food in my system, get exercise, see my chiropractor, socialize with friends, head to the office, or deliver a workshop my choices are about an EXTRA-ordinary quality of life.

As our societies stress levels rise it is essential we are taking EXTRA care of ourselves through many different avenues. There are societies in the World called “Blue Zones” which is where it is common for those to live over 90 and in to their 100’s with little risk of chronic disease. These societies tend not to follow the brainwashing that goes on in our country such as Larry the Cable Guy’s recent Prilosec commercial. Here is a picture of Larry telling us it is ok to eat corndogs because if we take a Prilosec then we will be OK. What a joke!

Unfortunately many people live their life through these commercials by being stressed out and wondering why they are on blood pressure meds, eating garbage foods and being on cholesterol or diabetes medicine, not having social networks or a sense of purpose and being on anti-depressants, and the list could go on.

The fact is: IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT! This is what has been engrained in to your brain since a child but if you continue to lead that lifestyle then you will be like everyone else in our country (heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, etc).

The definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Samantha, Shalonda, and myself are 110% committed to having everyone in our office live their greatest life so PLEASE take advantage. We want to show you and teach you what you can do different than everyone else and what the healthiest people in the planet are doing that are dependent on drugs or a poor quality of life. The 3 of us were put here to be servants to you so please ask questions, send e-mails, come to workshops, read my e-book, and get involved.

The societies that live the longest have common qualities and I want to touch on 4 of them as I feel they have the power to allow you to live your greatest life.

1) Get Regular Movement

Many of the societies that live to be over 100 tend to walk regularly, hike mountains, work the land, and perform other activities that create movement. They are NOT sitting in front of computers for hours a day and destroying their spine. NOW, I know many of us rely on computer work for our jobs but it is crucial we cut out time throughout the days for movement and exercise. ONE life, find the time! Walking around the office every hour, walking after meals, hiking mountains on the weekends, and other activities you can think of that would be more natural for the body.

2) Eat Foods Congruent With the Body

These societies tend to eat mostly a Mediterranean Diet filled with fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and stay away from processed junk food. Even the foods people think are from Earth and not processed tend be some of the most processed foods in the supermarkets such as milk, cheese, and grains. Once again our society has more stress now than ever so eating foods more genetically designed for the body will create a healthier internal environment.

3) Create Social Circles

Most of these healthy societies have large social circles where they get together for meals, games, or good conversation. In Okinawa and Loma Linda with the 7th Day Adventists they congregate regularly in person. Our society is obsessed with Facebook, Twitter, and other social media websites as well as reality TV. By connecting with people regularly and getting together for functions can truly help maximize and increase your quantity and quality of life.

4) Find Your Purpose

Each society that has a long and healthy life tend to have found a sense of purpose they live for. In our culture we look forward to “retirement” yet we have no interests, hobbies, or extracurricular things we do to keep us fulfilled following this phase of our life. Finding a place to volunteer, living to serve others, falling in love with a sport, a passion for helping others live better lives, or becoming a mentor there are countless possibilities to develop your sense of purpose.

Tight neck? Tight Upper back? Weak back? Could be upper cross syndrome

Tight psoas? Tight lower back? Weak core? Weak glutes? Could be lower cross syndrome

If any of the pictures above represent you which the odds are “Yes” then please pay attention. In today’s World where weak posture is not only common in adults but in children it is unfortunate to see how many people think this is OK. Posture is the window to our spine and nervous system and the weaker our posture then the weaker our nervous system ultimately indicating weaker health.

There is hoards of research constantly being pummeled out of the pipeline sharing how proper posture is crucial to overall health and how the nervous system functioning well is vital to quantity and quality of life. Recently an article came out describing how forward posture can decrease lung capacity by 30% which increases the risk for cardiovascular problems. Another paper showed how for every inch forward the head moves creates an additional 10 pounds of stress on the upper back and double that on the lower back. Posture is our lifeline and the more we care for it whether we have pain or not then the better health it will generate to us.

I have made a commitment to improve everyone in my offices health no matter what it takes which is why we are committed to free newsletter and free workshops. Next week we have a workshop that can make a significant impact on your health by fixing the problems in the pictures above and restoring posture.

If you plan on attending please register HERE as seating is VERY limited. Please only register if you can 100% attend and guests are encouraged as we will be working in partners.

Also, if you plan on attending BE SURE to buy either 2 lacrosse balls at Dick’s Sporting Goods or go HERE and get the 2 therapy balls (Highly recommended). Make sure to bring these to the class so please order them ASAP.

We will be taking you through the following 8 steps to maximize your posture and help you feel and be your best.

Upper Cross Release Technique

1) Strengthen the deep neck flexors (Core around the neck that holds up cervical curve AKA Arc of Life)
2) Strengthen rhomboids (Muscles that help you stand more upright)
3) Release upper trapezius (Tight upper back where most people say “carry tension”)
4) Release pec muscles (Rounded posture increases tension in chest)

Lower Cross Release Technique

5) Strengthen abdominals
6) Release erector spinae (muscles that hold up spine)
7) Release psoas (Main hip flexor)
8) Strengthen glutes

This morning when I woke up I heard the pollen count has skyrocketed to over 2,500. CBS this morning posted an article that stated “Experts predict this will be the one of the worst allergy seasons on record.”. With that said it becomes a matter of if you want to do something about it or do you want to keep taking chemicals to mask it forever?

Right now tree pollen is through the roof and many of you are going to be walking around sneezing, runny noses, congestion, cough, watery eyes, and itchy throat. If you experience even 1 one of these symptoms then you know your body’s internal environment is having a hard time adapting to the external environment. Follow these 3 simple tips to kick out allergies this spring season.

Most people will notice symptoms and say “What can I do to TREAT that or get rid of this symptom”. Instead the questions should be “How can I raise my body’s ability to adapt to the external environment and become a powerhouse against pollen”.

A lot of people come in to our office in March-April on the drug Zyrtec as their tool for pollen season. What is bad is they are using a chemical substance to artificially allow their body to not express symptoms. Maybe these symptoms are a way of telling you something inside is not right?

What I am going to focus on today is the top 3 things someone can do naturally to beat allergies. The reason why I am sharing this is because over the past couple years we consistently get hoards of adults and kids that are dependent on some allergy medicine and over time through chiropractic they notice their symptoms going away.

 

Here are the top 3 natural ways to beat allergies:

1) Check Your Nervous System

As I said earlier, over the past couple years most of our referrals at this time come because many of their friends are getting off drugs and noticing significantly less allergy symptoms. This happens because in our stressful World whether it is through sitting in front of a computer for hours, working out with poor form, excessive traveling, eating non-nutrient dense foods, or being emotionally stressed we can compromise our nervous system. Our nervous system made up of the brain, spine, and nerves controls and coordinates ALL function in the human body.

The healthier we keep our nervous system and the less stress on it then the better we are at adapting to the external environment. Many people think that in order for there to be stress on the nervous system there must be pain. In fact a person could have significant stress on their nervous system with zero pain just like they could have Stage 3 cancer and have zero symptoms. The key is make sure you have a chiropractor on your team regularly that checks your spine for interference and determines if there is blockage from the brain down the spine and out the nerves.

2) Load Up on Omega 3’s 

Omega 3’s as many of you have seen in your fish oil, tuna oil, or krill oil are packed with a punch to help reduce inflammation in the body. As pollen keeps soaring it is crucial we are on the right brand of Omega 3 and taking the correct dosage to reduce inflammation. When pollen counts are through the roof you want to up your dosage to between 2,000-3,000 mg. We recently placed an order of Tuna Oil from Standard Process so please reply if you would like us to hold a bottle of this high quality Omega 3.

3) Load up On Vitamin D3

The next supplement that will be crucial and is very low in a lot of people right now is Vitamin D3. The primary source of this is in the sun but if you are experiencing many symptoms from allergies then you most likely do not want to be outside. Over the past 4-5 months many of us have been indoors because of the cold weather so our body’s are deficient in this vital nutrient that can affect over 2,000 genes in the body. The key is to make sure you are getting D3 AKA Cholecalciferol and not getting it from processed products such as pasteurized milk from grain-fed cows. The amount of vitamin D3 to take right now should be between 60-90 ng/l. Please let us know as well if you would like a bottle of these as we ordered these with the Tuna Oil.

By implementing all 3 steps, you are giving your body a much better shot at beating allergies and living an super-charged pollen season. Don’t forget your regular visit to chiropractor for prevention or ease of your allergy!

tips-to-hydrate

I have become very inspired by many of you recently as you have been eating more healthy, working out more, being more positive, and keeping your adjustment schedules. In a World where marketing is heavy into unhealthy food, living a sedentary lifestyle, being negative, and taking meds, many of you have begun to make “Being Healthy” part of you and it is now becoming your lifestyle. I remember a few years back my mentor said “Winners are willing to do what losers are not”. I commend all of you on being different and taking up a healthy lifestyle as this is not the norm in our society.

The area where I want to review today that many of you are still not doing is about hydration and the vital importance of it. This is something my wife and I have recently implemented into our lives as we recently invested in an alkaline water machine for the office. We have noticed a huge difference in our energy and health from drinking this water and many of you have shared this as well.

The human body is designed to be 60-70% water but unfortunately most people are dehydrated and not drinking enough clean water. This can cause a host of problems as the body depends on a clean, fresh supply of water throughout the day.

Being dehydrated can affect your hormones, so if you are someone trying to lose weight then sometimes a cup of water could help drop those pounds. This happens because our body can confuse hunger for thirst so when you feel hungry really your body may just need some water instead of overeating.

On April 17th we have Dr. Joe Hudak, who is an expert in health, coming to the office to share about hydration. He will also be testing your water to see if the water you drink is healthy and what the pH level is so make sure you bring the water you most commonly drink. We will also be giving out cards that will allow you to fill up a gallon of our water for 2 weeks. Dr. Hudak will also be giving everyone who attends a BPA-Free 1 gallon jug of alkaline water at his expense.

Register Here: Change Your Water, Change Your Life

Here are 4 simple steps to stay hydrated:

1) Get a 1 Gallon Jug – Go to Amazon or any grocery store and get a 1 gallon water jug that is BPA Free. The key is to fill it up daily and drink that throughout the day. We will be giving everyone a free one at our water workshop so make sure to come to that on April 17th at 6:30 PM. By drinking 1 gallon of water throughout the day you are getting 128 ounces which is plenty to hydrate the body for 1 day. The standard is to drink half your body weight in ounces for the day. Example: I weigh 180 pounds so everyday I should be drinking a minimum of 90 ounces of water. Here is a link to a jug I found on Amazon: 1 Gallon Water Jug

2) Go Alkaline – Most of the water all of us drink daily contains fluoride, chlorine, and other toxic chemicals that are foreign agents to our body. There have been studies that have showed traces of pharmaceutical drugs in the water supply and in Philadelphia they found 56 different drugs in their water. This is very low regulated by government and this is why I am bringing the expert, Dr. Joe Hudak to do demos on water and show us exactly what is in YOUR water. I highly recommend investing in an alkaline water machine as it not only cleans the water but it can change the pH levels to be more congruent with your body. The water machine we bought for the office was only $1/day and I truly feel will pay dividends as the years go on. I have actually noticed we are saving money as we don’t buy bottles water anymore. “The best investment is the one in yourself”

3) Drink Room Temperature Water – Now that you are drinking a gallon of alkaline water every day the next step is to make this water room temperature. If you think back to when we were hunters and gatherers the water we drank was not refrigerated or drowning in ice. We would gather gallons of water and they would sit in tents or whatever else the hunters and gatherers built for homes. When we drink cold water it slows down digestion and our body has to work hard to make this water warm so it can go through the body. To get the best bang for your buck drink room temperature water at all times especially during meals.

4) Add Lemon to Your Water – The final step to staying healthy and hydrated would be to add some lemon to your water. In my e-book I talk about how every morning it is great to drink a glass of water with squeezed lemon in the glass to help energize and wake up your body. Lemon has many anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that make a great addition to your food but especially water upon rising. It also helps to alkalize the body and keep the pH balanced.

 

 

In addition to hindered fat loss, one of the most common misconceptions is that drinking water cause water retention. The truth is the exact opposite. Lack of water causes water retention. The reason for this is that the body perceives the shortage when it is provided with less than it needs thus causing what is commonly referred to as “survival mode”, retaining every least drop that it can.

 

Water is not only a natural appetite suppressant, but it actually helps the body metabolize stored fat. When the body does not have a good supply of water to draw from to perform required physiological tasks, it will draw water from inside the bodies cells, including fat cells, in order to perform the desired tasks.

5-steps-healthy-life

This past Tuesday night we held our 21 Day Mental Detox workshop where I showed everyone 5 simple steps to begin to rewire the brain for happiness. In a World where the news, radio, and TV focuses primarily on negative information it is crucial we wire the brain for positivity and happiness. There are too many people walking around who have been brainwashed from these media outlets believing people are bad, the economy is bad, the World is going to blow up, body symptoms are ok, processed foods are not that bad, and the list could go on. Unfortunately people are taking this on to dictate and determine their happiness but little do they know that this is a small percentage.

This World of media and other resources is scientifically proven to dictate only 10% of someones long term happiness. The 90% of happiness comes from how the BRAIN process this information. As Shawn Anchors says so eloquently “It is not the reality that shapes us but the lens through which our brain views the World that shapes our reality and if we can change our lens then we can change our happiness.”

For us to change this lens we detox and flush out all the garbage between the ears by doing the 5 following steps for the next 21 days.

5 Steps to Happiness

 

1) Attitude of Gratitude

Write out 3 things you are grateful for. This has you scan for what is positive in the World and begin to rewire your brain for positivity.

2) Journaling

Write out 1 success that has happened within 24 hours. This allows you to look book in your life and see how successful you are.

3) Exercise

This begins to create behavioral changes and shifts for the body to start working out more and making lifestyle changes. More importantly it begins to create a healthier YOU.

4) Meditate

In a World where people cannot focus for more than 2 seconds this begins to slow down the brain to help you concentrate more and focus. I recommend downloading the Podcasts app on your phone and download the Chopra Center podcasts for guided meditations.

5) Random Acts of Kindness

Do 1 thing a day for someone else.

In roughly two weeks you will have the opportunity to take part in 2nd Annual Atlanta’s Top Health Fair. As many of you remember we held our first one December 15 and based on everyone’s positive feedback we have brought is back. What inspires are about this health fair is that it is exactly what we say a “health fair”.

What I mean by this is many of you have been to numerous company health fairs, got your “numbers” checked from your MD, had your blood pressure and cholesterol checked, gotten flu shots, but have not taken part in what is considered a true health fairs. Most of the tests  performed in this screenings are outdated and performed by looking at the body from the outside-in. They are done to check if you need to be put on medication the rest of your life but are not being performed proactively.

The vendors we will have at our Health Fair represent the healthiest companies and are done by looking at the body holistically and from the inside out. Below are a list of each vendor and please read the description of WHY they are being invited. One of our clients got his life saved because of the thermography scan he had done and another client told me her friend found out she had breast cancer at 32 years old and is making sure she gets scanned this time.

You and I get one body that was given to us in a perfect design from the second it was born and how we take care of it now determines how it will perform in the future. Pain, cancer, heart disease, depression, diabetes, ADD, and many other lifestyle problems in today’s World do not need to happen so please come out and bring guests to help our practice create a healthier community that our children can grow up in.

Last week we received news that a very important tool to help correct scoliosis has finally arrived to the states. This device is known as a Scoliroll and is designed to correct scoliosis in conjunction with chiropractic care. We recently took a stress x-ray of one of our clients and the top view is what her x-ray looked like before she started chiropractic and the one below is what it looked like with the Scoliroll under her spine. Pretty cool, eh? She will lie on this roll 2x/day for 20-25 minutes and after 60 days we will take another x-ray to confirm the structural changes.

Many of you are on the Denneroll and if not then please see let me know if this is something you would be interested in. We have them for the low back and neck to create structural correction in the spine which is huge for long term care.

Why is this such a big deal?

Everyday people are in pain from the amount of pressure on the nerves due to scoliosis and more commonly suffering with forward head posture. Beyond the pain which is 10% of the problem (even they think it’s more) their nervous system is shutting down and their organs are not recieving proper nerve supply from the brain.

It is very common that someone with a scoliosis will suffer with digestive problems and some form of reproductive issues.

It is very common that someone who has bad forward head posture suffers with migraines, allergies, asthma, sinuses, and sometimes high blood pressure. What is sad about this case is unfortunately the problem started when they were a kid and were a colicky baby then suffered with ear infections then had asthma and finally developed headaches/migraines.

This is not coincidental but it is how the nervous system works as when there is stress on it peoples lives are at stake and their quality and quantity of life is being jeopardized . Everyone thinks they are invisible until one day something happens and their life is turned upside down. There is hoards of research to prove how chiropractic enhances quality of life and any stress on the nervous system creates health problems long term. Think we feel the problem in the beginning or end stages?

Unfortunately I had to watch my closest uncle who I regularly hung out with and fished with take his own life because of a failed medical system and how much pain he continued to have. I see patients who have gone down this path and have been victims of this failed model and now have multiple pieces of metal in their back keeping them.

I am so passionate for many reasons but more so now because of 2 reasons:

1) A client of ours who came to my office mid-last year announced to me last week she will be getting neck surgery. She waited until last year before finally seeing a chiropractor and now she is already in Phase 3 degeneration with multiple levels of arthritis. It is very upsetting to me because out of all the people she associates with on a daily basis not too many of them suggested chiropractic before this even happened. Had a friend told her to at least get checked by a chiropractor to see if there is a problem before pain then this situation could not be happening. I am committed now more than ever to making sure people get their spines checked similar to how they get their teeth, prostate, liver, and heart checked. (What always confuses me is people get those checked before their spine yet the spine controls every single one of those parts.)

2) I am so sick and tired of watching people come into the office that were lied to about needing surgery for scoliosis and are still I pain. There is SO much that can be done to correct a scoliosis and putting kids under the knife to fuse it together only creates long term problems. Even if it is not a scoliosis kids need chiropractic more than anyone as they are constantly playing sports, sleeping in crazy positions, and carrying heavy bookbags. Personally my child will be checked for subluxation every 14 days and it is essential we start our youth off right with a healthy functioning nervous system. Why is your spine and nervous system more important than your child’s?

I know today I sound very passionate but I speak from the heart and come from a loving place. I want my children to grow up in a World of unsubluxated people who have healthy spines and a clear connection from the brain down the spine and out to the nerves. I have noticed that once people begin and commit to chiropractic then they start taking on other healthy habits for their life. For example, you’re more likely to care for a Ferrari than you are a Ford Pinto.

This past Friday, I went over to my friend, Dr. David Jockers office for some catching up and bonding time.

He was going to make me lunch and since he knows that I am paleo, I figured I would be receiving a chicken salad, burger, or something else along the cavemen diet. Instead, he made me a pudding that was delicious, super healthy, and simple to make.

The pudding was packed with good fats for metabolism, a super-food to regulate hormones, and grass-fed whey for great protein. I wanted to share this healthy lunch recipe with you as I am making it a few more times this week.

If you would like to find some other recipes, please download our new app from the app store in your phone called Cohen Chiropractic. Let me know if you downloaded it so we can give you a ticket into a drawing for a 1-hour massage.
