1. Quote I love…
“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” -Einstein
Einstein gets credit for this quote all the time, but it turns out, he probably did not say this. And many people on the internet beat up this quote for a lot of reasons. But, like with most things on the internet, people love to hyper-analyze, hyper-criticize, overthink, complain, whine, and moan. I like the quote because, simply put, it reminds us that we are pretty special in our own way and need to be careful not to judge ourselves too heavily when comparing ourselves to others. What do you love? What are you good at? DO THAT!
2. Something that surprises a lot of people…
Many people still have a lot of misconceptions regarding chiropractic care. It is often thought of as simply a treatment for lower back or neck pain. But because the spine houses and protects the nervous system, and the nerves control just about every system in the body, the care we provide can impact just about every condition plaguing Americans today. We see a lot of patients with conditions including migraine headaches, digestive issues, menstrual problems, anxiety, dizziness, numbness in the arms or legs, and most arthritic conditions. What surprises most people is that we see infants and children. Just this week, I checked a 4-day-old baby! Being born can be a tough task, and that can often be a person’s first trauma. We see infants with colic, ear infections, constipation, torticollis, and more. Does everyone need chiropractic care? Nope. But everyone needs regular spinal checkups, much like dental check-ups, to find problems before they become bigger problems. I just thought I’d share that because the last thing a newborn or child needs is to start their little lives off with medications. A natural approach is much safer, much more cost effective, and makes great sense! Oh… I also saw a 94-year-old patient this week. So, you can see that we care for the youngest to the oldest, the biggest to the smallest, the athletes, the couch potatoes, and everything in between. I checked all three of my children within minutes of being born, and they have had their spines checked regularly their entire lives. Here’s a picture I have hanging in my office… me checking my son, Kyle, within a half hour after being born…
3. Video I shot this morning…
With the sun coming up and the fog rolling off the lake, I couldn’t help but grab my drone and shoot some quick footage this morning. Not the best or cleanest editing, but I used their quick auto-edit program to throw together a 30-second clip. I hope you enjoy…
***Bonus…Our weight loss program…
