In this day and age, with all the technologies and conveniences that we have, it is VERY easy to let an entire day go by and barely take any steps. Especially if you have a sedentary job or are retired.
According to experts, this widespread epidemic of inactivity is one of the key contributors to the rise in chronic diseases, painful conditions and obesity. To combat this, many health organizations (including our own CDC and NIH) have firmly stated...
Last time I wrote to you, I mentioned that I was about to give a lecture on "How Exercise Improves Brain Function" through the release of the "miracle molecule"- Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (or BDNF for short).
By the grace of God, the lecture went really well. The room was full, everyone was engaged, and there was great feedback afterwards. Thank you to all who came!

Every day I work with people that want to eliminate their pain. 9 times out of 10, the person I'm working with has a multi layered problem that largely stems from a mechanical breakdown in the musculoskeletal system, as well as high levels of systemic inflammation. This inflammation is very often due to overeating inflammatory food.
