Tom Brady Named Honorary 100 Year Lifestyle Quarterback

February 8, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl title, was voted MVP for the fifth time and was named the honorary 100 Year Lifestyle quarterback. Brady has shown that your chronological age doesn’t matter near as much as your mindset, your choices, and your lifestyle. Brady has made good nutrition, chiropractic care, massage, and a positive outlook the new standard of care for athletes of all ages who want to perform at their highest level for a lifetime. We call it 100:100, 100 percent for 100 years.

Brady has worked extremely hard to become the GOAT, the greatest of all time. He played his college ball at Michigan and was drafted number 199 in the 2000 draft. Six other quarterbacks were taken before him. Have you seen the images of what his body looked like when he was drafted? The experts said he was too slow, too gawky, and did not have confidence that he could lead their team. They could not measure his heart, desire, and commitment.

When Brady embraced the holistic path and longevity vision, he was an outlier. It was not yet chic. Brady has been quoted as saying, “Chiropractic just makes you feel so much better. When I walk out of the clinic, I feel like I’m about three inches taller and everything’s in place. As long as I see the chiropractor, I feel like I’m one step ahead of the game.”

Now, athletes from nearly every professional sport utilize chiropractic care to heal quicker from injuries and perform at their highest level. It is even common to see chiropractors giving adjustments on the sideline during games.

Current Hall of Famers, Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice, some of the greatest players ever at their positions have been huge chiropractic advocates for decades. Emmitt Smith is the leading rusher in NFL history. A perennial Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl Champion when he retired with over 18,000 yards, Smith said, “I thank God, my family, and my chiropractor.” Chiropractic care not only helped him heal quickly from injuries but he also used chiropractic care as a part of his lifestyle and training regime to keep him functioning at the top of his game.

Jerry Rice is considered the greatest receiver in the history of the NFL. His durability and work ethic is legendary. He initially sought chiropractic care because of a crisis after being injured on the field. After learning about the benefits of Chiropractic Lifestyle Care™ from his teammates he made chiropractic care a regular part of his training routine and lifestyle. He is a three-time Super Bowl Champion and today he is an official spokesperson for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.

Another chiropractic advocate, 2012 Hall of Fame Semi-finalist Roger Craig, was a pioneer in the NFL. He is the only player to ever make the Pro Bowl as a fullback and a halfback, the first player to rush and receive for over 1,000 yards in a single season – a feat that took fourteen years to be duplicated – and he is the only running back in NFL history to ever lead the league in receptions. He is a three-time Super Bowl Champion and is the only NFL player to make the playoffs for eleven straight years.

Like many children, Roger began receiving chiropractic care at an early age and today, like the others, still receives Chiropractic Lifestyle Care. In fact, Roger endorsed the #1 bestselling fitness book, The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout, which he recommends for every athlete young and old because it stresses the importance of a healthy structure, spine, and nervous system with chiropractic care as a core part of the training. This balanced fitness plan teaches athletes to Get Your ESS in Shape™, Endurance, Strength, and Structure to help you maximize your performance, prevent injuries and support your longevity.

All three of these athletes took a tremendous beating over their careers which began in little league and continued into the pros. Chiropractic care as a part of their lifestyle, training, and overcoming injuries has helped show the world that you can play high-level sports and retain your health after you retire. You may even compete on Dancing With the Stars!

We’ve all seen videos of old time professional athletes who pounded their bodies into submission and became cripples when their career was over. This is not true for these three athletic superstars and it is no longer the norm as many professional, Olympic, and youth sports programs have chosen to make chiropractic care a core part of their programs and many of the leaders of the Olympic sports medicine team today are chiropractors.

Don’t wait for an injury. If you’re an athlete or participate in an exercise program, be like these Hall of Fame and Super Bowl Champions. Make Chiropractic Lifestyle Care your top priority.

100 Healthy Days™ Week 3- 100 Year Lifestyle FitNESS

February 4, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

In addition to the chiropractic care that our office is providing you and your family, following

The 100 Year Lifestyle FitNESS Principles will help you function better for a lifetime.

 

Week 3- 100 Year Lifestyle FitNESS

Neurology

Neurology=Function. Neurology comes first! Your nervous system controls and coordinates all your body functions, including your muscles, organs, and systems. You must have a healthy nervous system for your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your balance to be stable. Therefore, many top athletes and performers in the world utilize chiropractic care as a central part of their fitness program. Be sure to get your spine and nervous system checked by a 100 Year Lifestyle Affiliate Chiropractor! Find a Chiropractor near you.

Read about FitNESS on our 100YL article, Performance 100.

Nutrition

Nutrition = Fuel. Your nutritional habits will fuel your life. Consuming a diet filled with organic fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, very low sugar, and processed foods should be the way you eat as a lifestyle. Isn’t it time you get off the weight-loss roller coaster, cleanse, and make healthy eating a daily habit? This will sustain you not just while getting into shape but will keep you healthier as you age. Check out our podcast Episode 13: NATURAL HEALING FROM HIPPOCRATES. In this episode, Dr. Eric Plasker interviews Brian Clement, ND, Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, where people travel from all over the world to heal from chronic disease. They discuss nutrition, cleansing, the nervous system, environment, mental health strategies, and much more they can make a difference for you right away!

Listen to Podcast 13- Natural Healing From Hippocrates

Endurance

Endurance=Longevity. Life is a marathon, one sprint at a time. Through cardiovascular exercise, which includes walking, running, bike riding, and any activity that will increase your heart rate, you will strengthen your cardiovascular system. Start slow and steady, be consistent, and increase the frequency, intensity, and duration of your endurance training as time goes by. You will be amazed at how your body progresses.

Read more about endurance in our 100YL article, Get Your ESS in Shape.

Strength

Strength= Independence. If you want to be independent as you age, you must make your strength a priority today. Whether you use weights or do strength training through yoga, Pilates, or other plyometric training, it is important to keep yourself strong as a part of a lifestyle.

Read more about strength and FitNESS on our 100YL article, Performance 100.

 

 

 

 

Structure

Structure= Activity. The health of your structure will determine the level of activity you can enjoy. Having a healthy, straight, strong spine is vital to your quality-of-life and fitness in the short and long-term. This is another reason why chiropractors have become a central figure on the healthcare team for millions of people, including the U.S. Olympic Team.

Being active and independent will be an important factor in your immediate and long-term happiness. Follow these Performance 100 principles, live your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle and enjoy the quality of life you deserve.

 

Toxins

Don’t Eat Any Processed Food. Choose organic and Glyphosate-free! Learn how to shop for foods without Glyphosate in our 100YL article, Glyphosate-Free Shopping.

Mental/Emotional Health

Meditate, Write in Your Journal, Listen to a Podcast, Take Time for Self-Care, Express Gratitude, Read a Book.

Listen to how you too can find vision, direction, and real-world answers for your life’s work, health, weight, and energy while also seeing exciting hope and changes in your children’s well-being like 100YL member Erica Salazar did. You will appreciate the real and raw nature of this conversation!

Listen to Podcast 15- Domino Effect to a Better Life

 

 

 

 

Choose Quality-of-Life Motivation—Not Crisis Motivation

Allowing crisis to motivate you to change keeps you in your old patterns and issues. Choose quality of life motivation over the crisis approach to change. That way, you will avoid many painful, unnecessary detours along the way. To make changes that last, you will need to consciously decide what your primary motivation is. Will you be crisis motivated or quality of life motivated?

Read more about choosing lasting changes on our 100YL article, Motivation for Lasting Change. 

 

 

 

 

Choose Up to Three Areas to Change

What are the priority areas of your life you want to change? Whether it is your health, your finances, your work, or relationships, choose up to three and start titrating change into them today. Lasting change is easy when you allow yourself to build momentum.

Read more about what changes you can make on our 100YL article, Action Plan for a Lasting Change. 

 

 

 

 

 

Approach Change with Your Ideal 100 Year Lifestyle in Mind

Choose your focus. Your best life choices are ones that will positively impact your life both today and when you are 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100. This focus will give you a foundation of clear and lasting commitment to becoming the best you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rest of Your Life Can Be the Best of Your Life

Dare yourself! Make it a sensational century. Live and leave your best life legacy as you learn how to live longer, healthier, and wiser than any other generation in history.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Pregnancy is a time of constant and exciting change in a woman’s physiology and overall life as her body prepares for the athletic event of birth. It is important for expecting moms to assemble a birth team to help guide them through these changes and optimize their experience.

In addition to choosing their birth provider, doula, lactation consultant and birth preparation classes, many women are realizing the importance of prenatal chiropractic care. Prenatal chiropractic care addresses the neuro-biomechanics of your pregnancy, which is essential for your body to be able to organically adapt to the physical and functional changes during every stage of this beautiful and natural process.

What does this mean for you?

Chiropractic checkups and adjustments, when necessary, can…

  • Balance the body and soft tissues of the pelvis, preparing your pelvis for an easier birth.
  • Align your pelvis to ensure that it is moving properly.
  • Reduce torsion and tension on the uterus and its supporting ligaments.
  • Allow for the pelvis to open wider during birth.
  • Ensure optimum nerve function.

Your nervous system controls the function of every cell in your body, including your uterus and pelvic muscles – the main muscles of labor.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can also benefit your baby. The nervous system is the first system that forms in your baby during the 3rd week after conception. Since your nervous system communicates with your baby’s nervous system, proper function can contribute to better development. Balancing your pelvis also allows your baby the chance to have the most room to develop without physical restrictions to the growth of their cranium, spine and other skeletal structures. Also, this can help the baby move into the best possible birth position when it is their time to arrive.

All of these factors can contribute to a more natural birth as well as a significant decrease in dystocia and birth trauma caused by interventions.

Chiropractic care can help make your pregnancy and birth experience healthier and more enjoyable while helping to minimize the risk. No wonder millions of women include chiropractors as a vital member of their birth team.

Schedule an appointment for your family today.

Longevity and Performance

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

One of the biggest stories during the Super Bowl is the longevity and performance of Tom Brady. He is redefining what is possible for athletes over forty. His nutrition and fitness routines along with his utilization of chiropractic care are well documented and vital to his success.

While healthy eating and fitness seem like common sense, so is the importance of a healthy spine and nervous system. This is the reason why so many players from the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles will be receiving chiropractic care all season and of course leading up to the big game.

Chiropractic care helps athletes in every sport heal quickly and optimize performance.

Many of the greatest of all time have set this precedent. Current Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice are huge chiropractic advocates. Emmitt Smith is the leading rusher in NFL history, a perennial Pro Bowler and three -time Super Bowl Champion. When he retired with over 18,000 yards, Smith said, “I thank God, my family and my chiropractor.” Chiropractic care helped speed his recovery time and function at the top of his game. His career lasted nearly six times longer than the average NFL running back.

Jerry Rice is considered the greatest receiver in the history of the NFL. His durability and work ethic are legendary. He initially sought chiropractic care following an injury on the field. After learning about the benefits of chiropractic care from his teammates he made chiropractic care a regular part of his training routine and lifestyle. He is a three-time Super Bowl Champion and today he is an official spokesperson for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress. His high-level career also lasted six times longer than the average receiver.

Another chiropractic advocate, 2012 Hall of Fame Semi-finalist Roger Craig, was a pioneer in the NFL. He is the only player to ever make the Pro Bowl as a fullback and a halfback, the first player to rush and receive for over 1,000 yards in a single season -a feat that took 14 years to be duplicated, and he is the only running back in NFL history to ever lead the league in receptions. He is a three-time Super Bowl Champion and is the only NFL player to make the playoffs for eleven straight years.

Like many children, Roger began receiving chiropractic care at an early age and today, like the others, still receives chiropractic Lifestyle Care. In fact, Roger endorsed the #1 bestselling fitness book, The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout, which he recommends for athletes, young and old, because it stresses the importance of a healthy structure, spine and nervous system with chiropractic care as a core part of the training. This helps you maximize your performance, prevent injuries and support your longevity.

We’ve all seen videos of old time professional athletes who pounded their bodies into submission and became cripples when their career was over. This is not true for these three athletic superstars and it is no longer the norm as many professional, Olympic and youth sports programs have chosen to make chiropractic care a core part of their programs and many of the leaders of the Olympic sports medicine team today are chiropractors.

All three of these athletes took a tremendous beating over their careers which began in Little League and continued into the pros. Chiropractic care as a part of their lifestyle, training and overcoming injuries has helped show us all that you can play high-level sports and retain your health after you retire. We may even see you competing on Dancing With the Stars!

Don’t wait for an injury. If you’re an athlete or participate in an exercise program, be like these Hall of Fame and Super Bowl Champions. Make Chiropractic Lifestyle Care your top priority.

Live Longer and Stronger

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

The US Census Bureau estimates that there over 80,000 centenarians living in the United States today. Statistics show that women usually live longer than men. The truth is, your body has the genetic potential to live to 100 and beyond. Being prepared to age gracefully, healthfully and successfully has never been more important than now. Every day we are faced with choices that contribute to our quality of life both now and in the future. One of the most important steps you can take to begin to live longer and stronger is to. . .

Stop Killing Yourself!
Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the three leading causes of death among women. Interestingly enough, they are also preventable by healthy lifestyle choices and routine checkups. Mark your calendar so you won’t forget mammograms, chiropractic visits, and other annual exams. Many women are more likely to be familiar with their family history. Let your doctor know what diseases and conditions are on your family tree. Being aware of this health history will help you and your health-care team build a plan to incorporate healthy habits in your life and the lives of your children.

Make Your Self-Care a Priority
When reviewing disaster plans of action, flight attendants on airplanes always instruct parents to fit themselves with oxygen masks first before helping their children. The lesson is simple. You can’t take care of others unless you take care of yourself first, at least in matters of health.

Today women are busier today than ever before. Demands are placed on them from every direction. More women are working and raising families, a dual role that invites incredible stress. These overbooked schedules tempt women to set aside self-care to handle other priorities such as families, careers, relatives, and communities.

Taking care of yourself will ensure that you will be strong enough to take care of others. Eating a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables and low fat foods along with a moderate exercise schedule will help you maintain your weight and keep your mind and your muscles strong. Schedule regular chiropractic visits, make time for massages, take hot baths (with the door locked and the phone turned off), and consider a vacation getaway with only yourself. Make time to be healthy.

Lifelong Learning is Key
Studies show that maintaining an active lifestyle increases health and quality of life. People in their seventies are earning college degrees, publishing books, and starting companies. Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, who at 122 was the oldest person ever documented, fenced, cycled, and rapped! It’s never too late to pick up a yoga mat, violin or paintbrush.

Starting today, make self-care and health-care choices that will ensure that each day will be your best, and encourage your family to do the same. After all, 100 years of healthy living is achieved one day at a time.
