We are very good at treating sickness and disease, but we are terrible at addressing and treating the true causes of sickness and disease. In last week’s blog, I noted that 70-90% of all reasons for doctor visits are related to, caused by, or affected by stress. The boom in physical and mental health conditions…
One of the major shortcomings of our mainstream healthcare system is its lack of addressing the cause of illness. We are very good at treating and managing symptoms, but terrible at addressing or correcting the true cause of modern day health problems. If you have back pain, you get a pain-reliever. If you have constipation,…
There are certain words that I really, really like. I occasionally post those on my Friday’s Findings at drbizjak.com. One word that I have been thinking about more recently is awe. I love this word! One definition of awe is a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder. It is so easy to…
I think it’s fair to say that most of us dream of, strive for, and work toward eliminating problems in our lives. A problem is defined as “a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.” Who does not want to get rid of unwelcome or harmful matters…

We often do not have control over the difficulties we encounter throughout our lives. Something bad will happen, or something happens that we are unhappy about, and we are left standing there in disbelief. The situation often leaves us complaining about what has just occurred. Here’s the problem… complaining gets us nowhere! When things don’t…
We are inundated with quick fixes, magic bullets, and simple solutions when it comes to improving our health. Supplements, protocols, wearables, and other health-related products are everywhere, promising to give you the answer you are looking for. Big promises are being made and solutions offered through testing of saliva, DNA, blood, hair and stool. It…
The words self-help make a lot of people uncomfortable. I’ve had conversations with others who truly believe that self-help is a waste of time. Just hearing names like Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbins gets a bunch of people rolling their eyes. Let’s break this down a bit so you can see why you should be…
Some of the hardest words to speak are it’s my fault. It is human nature to make excuses, point fingers at others, and blame anything we can for our shortcomings and failures. Maybe you weren’t given the correct information, or had bad parents, or grew up in the wrong neighborhood, or (my favorite) got bad…
Have you ever tweaked your back doing something trivial, like putting on your socks? Have you ever had a friend or co-worker overreact to something simple you did or said? Have you ever known someone who ate well, exercised, and appeared fit, but had a sudden heart attack or other significant health crisis? There are…
