Genuine Chiropractic
May: Women’s Health
Welcome to the monthly newsletter from Genuine Chiropractic!
Each month we’ll provide you and your family with relevant health
information and help you understand
those often convoluted and misrepresented health topics.
The newsletter will have three sections
1 A general discussion of the theme being focused on that
particular month
2 Chiropractic Lifestyle. In this section we will always
discuss one of the three t’s that lead to subluxation. They are traumas, toxins
and thoughts (auto suggestions) and relate one of them to the theme being
focused on that month,
3 Action step. This is a chance to learn about that month’s
work shop and the community service event the practice is involved in. We are
building a community based on love and service and want our patients to be the
biggest part of that by participating in both our workshops and community
service projects.
May is an important month. In nature we are seeing the
rebirth and new birth of plants and animals. We are outside more and eating a
variety of new foods. It is also the month in which we celebrate Mother’s day.
The theme for May is women’s health. This is a very broad topic and something
we will focus on , covering different facets, throughout the year.
As the mother you are the nurturer. Our hunter gatherer past
shows that the men did the hunting and women did the gathering. Women do best
when they work together in groups, in a loving and collaborative manner. This
means setting aside the gossip and really connecting with one another. Through
the popular book ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’ and other
neurological studies of the brain we are able to see that women, unlike men, do
best when they are running on serotonin. (Men function better on dopamine) This
is a more calming hormone and is produced during certain activities, like
shopping! Ever notice how when you are with your girlfriends shopping, trying
on new shoes and drinking tea that you feel super happy? This is because you
are producing more serotonin creating more pleasure…retail therapy! This can be connected to Paleolithic times
where the women were in small groups, gathered around the campfire sharing
stories. Men historically needed the dopamine to chase after large game they
were hunting and the dopamine provided them with the rush they needed. As
women, it is time to go back to our roots in order to live the healthiest and
most authentic life possible.
Your intuition, referred to as innate intelligence in
chiropractic circles, is very strong as a woman. A fast paced life that does
not honor the gatherer past of the female spirit moves you further away from
this innate intelligence. You know that feeling you have when your child is
sick or has done something disobedient? How about that job interview that
seemed too good to be true? Are you able to truly focus on yourself and listen
to your intuition or has it been blocked by processed foods, lack of movement
and gossip? When you are unable to listen to your own body you are more likely
to get sick. You stop listening to those warning signs that something is wrong
because you are the care taker, the nurturer and everyone in your home depends
on you. This is all true however if you are not functioning at your most
optimal level then you are not good for anyone else!
Genuine Chiropractic is dedicated to serving you and the
health care needs of your entire family. We believe that building a healthy
community begins with the individual, the family and eventually creates a
vibrant community. Our focus is always the spine and nervous system. As
chiropractors we do not claim to cure anything. We are putting a specific
adjustment in your spine, removing any interference there may be to the nervous
system and allowing the body to heal its self. The nervous system controls
every cell, tissue, organ and other system in the body. When the nervous system
is not functioning properly, due to a spinal subluxation (misalignment), then
health is compromised. Regular chiropractic care for the entire family will insure
happier and healthier lives for all.
Chiropractic Lifestyle
Living an authentic chiropractic lifestyle means that you
are holistic in your approach to health. It means that you understand that
everything in your body is connected and that the body is a living organism.
Health does not come from a pill it occurs on the inside. The body has an
amazing power to self heal when the nervous system is functioning optimally.
The nervous system is interfered with when there are misalignments
(subluxations) in the spine causing pressure on a nerve. There are three main causes to subluxation
they are traumas, toxins and thoughts sometimes referred to as
autosuggestions. This month we are
focusing on thought. Are most of your
thoughts negative? Did you know that what you think impacts the biochemistry of
your entire body? Have you noticed that when you are stressed and focus on that
stress, it just seems to get worse? Your muscles tighten up, your back aches
and you do not feel like yourself? Just like your body communicates through the
spinal cord to the brain the brain in return talks back down the body. Negative
thoughts whether they are conscinious or subconscious will impact the body in a
bad way. Overtime they will lead to spinal subluxation. At first you may not
realize anything is wrong, you are ignoring your intuition. Over time, you may
realize there is some dysfunction in body – you are not able to turn your neck
as far to the right as before. This can lead to disease and eventually death of
cells. Getting adjusted corrects any misalignment sin the spine thus allowing the
nervous system to flow freely and you are able to manifest health.
