Are you wanting an edge on the competition? Are you wanting to be the best on the field? Are you looking for your child to get more out of the game? Then we are talking about increasing our performance. Now the performance we are talking is not a performance that you sit, watch and enjoy, although the best games and matches are so thrilling and exciting it is hard to tell the difference. We are talking about Athletic Performance which is defined as: " Carrying out of specific physical routines or procedures by one who is trained or skilled in physical activity. Performance is influenced by a c...

New research is pointing to the meninges (the tissues that wraps around the brain/spinal cord) as the priming factor of a migraine. This means that the negative input from this tissue will sensitise the brain to triggers that would not otherwise cause a problem. Clinically this is meaningful as it highlights the importance of assessing and adjusting the meninges. Our adjusting technique called Advanced Bio-Structural Correction (ABC) is focused on the addressing adverse tension on the meninges and its influence on the brain and body structure.

Do you think you could have a problems with the meninges?

Resistance is a property of a well balanced, well functioning body (A WELL ADJUSTED BODY). The greater your resistance the more stress your body can handle without effect. Stressors at this level are like a speed bump that you quickly pop over and past.

Low resistance means only a small amount of stress can be handled before your body blows out! This level is like treading water; you just keep a handle on the most basic day-to-day stress. Any extra immune, emotional, physical or chemical stressors quickly overwhelm the body, leaving you in a state of bother. Lots of you will easily relate to this feeling of just keeping your head above water!

If the stressors continue to overwhelm your resistance, the sympathetic nervous system will go onto overdrive. Leading to an overactive state where the body is constantly frantic, fatigued, sleeping poorly, hard to switching off, restless, irritable, moody, and to top it off a foggy/fuzzy head.

Ingredients:

1 x large organic/free range chook

1 x large onion finely chopped

4 x cloves of garlic crushed

1 x ribizome of tumeric finely diced (optional)

1 x small chili (optional)

4 x carrots roughly chopped

½ x celery including leaves, roughly chopped

2 x bay leaves

Imagine this scenario in your head.

You are out at your favourite local restaurant with friends celebrating something magical.  A birthday, an anniversary, a raise or even Friday. Everyone orders a refreshing beverage and some nibbles that match the drinks perfectly (and you didn’t even mean to pair it so perfectly). Suddenly you hear the sound of something quickly pushed to the side like it fell over. Everyone looks over and notices a 30 something male stumbling around and vomiting into the garbage bin next to the bar. He is pale, looks like he may have a beer belly and he smells awful (the person to your right may of gave you all of their food because they lost their appetite). You look over at the bartender shaking her head. She is slim in figure, has thin blonde hair, seems like she has a lot of makeup on and may be a bit clumsy. She is a similar age to the man who is making a scene in the restaurant.

Now lets make some first impressions on who is healthier.

Most people who I talk to have made the guess that the bartender is the healthier one between the two. No outwardly symptoms, one would imagine she doesn’t smell like the man and she seems to have more energy.

Now let’s add some back story to create the whole picture.

1. An Adjustment

A chiropractic adjustment boosts your immune system. The brain and spinal cord run, coordinate, control, harmonise and govern every aspect of your health and your existence. There is an innate intelligence within your body which gives you the power to self heal. Without a proper functioning/ balanced nerve system you cannot be well and function at your best. Basically, the brain and body communicate via the nervous system, keeping it interference/ subluxation free is vital for a proper functioning immune system. In clinical trial studies, getting adjusted has been shown to boost immunity up to 400%. So next time your expressing health, come and grab an extra adjustment.

If you notice any of these indicators in your baby be sure to have them checked by a chiropractor as soon as possible. These may indicate imbalances within the spine and nervous system that will effect bubs comfort and function but more important is the long term impact if these problems become 'locked in' to their system. As your baby is developing and growing so quickly the sooner these problems are addressed the better!

Within the next month we will be hosting our Learn the Art of Sitting, Sleeping & Standing event where we will be teaching the community how to make their bodies work better in these positions. These simple yet effective protocols will help everyone function 10% better on the things we do everyday.  Yes! 10%! That’s the difference between good to great!

Wait hold up…

But that also means that it can take us from poor to average, or even bad to poor. Yes it’s an improvement, but who really wants to be average let alone bad/poor?

You will probably have seen or heard the segment “Does Chiro Work” that aired on The Project last month.

Each year the chiropractic profession falls under attack from mainstream media. These flavour of the month pieces always capture the very worst sensationalistic journalism and The Project’s recent segment is no different. The saying, “never let the truth get in the way of a good story” rings true. For this reason, we have decided to set the record straight and explain the FICTION & FACTS in this story.

FICTION: There is no research to support chiropractic care for babies.

We live in a society where the ‘quick’ reins supreme. Fast food, same day delivery, fast weight loss, quick pain relief and the list goes on and on, but what is this really doing to us? How is this serving us? Yes we are getting our fat free, low cal, no carb/high carb orange decaf mocha frappuccino in record times where even Usain Bolt starts to worry, but it starts to put unrealistic expectations on the reality of our situations especially towards our health.

Most people are looking for that one thing at that one time to “cure” them of everything that they have going one and it simply doesn’t work like that.  Dr. John Demartini said “Those looking for the magic bullet often get shot” and this reins true to our health where we spend the time and money to fix something but in reality we are just masking the symptoms and letting the underlying problem continue to fester.

One of the core principals in Chiropractic stated in Ralph W. Stephenson’s book the Chiropractic Textbook is The Principal of Time where it states, “there is no process that does not require time” and this applies to everything. Lets look at learning. Can we really expect to learn a new thing instantly? Do you remember how long it took you to walk? How long it took you to write? How long it took you to talk to "that girl/boy you liked"? I'm sure some of us are still learning some of these. How can our health be any different? We were born with the potential of true health and we are the ones that over time that have compromised that potential. Do you have 5,10, 20 or even 50 years of poor health choices? Did those poor choices affect the way your nervous system works? How has your body coped with those choices? Can you expect your body to magically get back to that point of optimal health? It's going to take some time, commitment and patience on your part.

DUNSTAN BABY LANGUAGE is a remarkable guide and tool to help parents understand the universal language of their newborn. All babies are born with an innate intelligence to understand and communicate their needs. 

All newborn babies produce 5 distinct pre-cry sounds that signal their 5 most important needs. This system will teach you to identify the various sounds your baby is communicating so you know precisely what your baby needs. The degree that parents tune-in to their babies communication and respond to their unique needs will determine the ease and joy they experience through this amazing time in life.

1. Purpose & Passion

Find something bigger than yourself that you are passionate about. Having a powerful purpose will create meaning, drive and direction in your life. When your 'on purpose', loving what you do and doing what you love the cells of the body will vibrate at a greater level. The higher the vibrations, the greater expression of potential.

 

2. Practice Gratitude

It's important to sit back from time to time and smell the roses. Appreciate yourself, your achievements, what you actually have in front of you. We all have a lot to be thankful for. The more grateful we are, the more things we will find to be grateful for.

 

Being your best is not so much about overcoming the barriers other people place in front of you, as it is about overcoming the barriers you place in front of yourself.

These "dragons" take many shapes and forms, it's a very individual thing. However, one thing is for certain, you can SLAY ANY DRAGON simply by thinking differently! We all have a magic sword, its called our MIND. Work on your ability to conquer any personal "dragons" which may stand in your way. Try to discover what your 'dragon" is doing to hinder your progress and then think of a way to slay it!

We constantly make comparisons in our lives, we compare to old version of ourselves, other people, co-workers and more. Strangely we usually do this in an unfair way, comparing the best of someone else with the worst of ourselves. Instead embrace all parts of yourself, balance these lopsided comparisons by observing where you have the others strengths and where they have your weaknesses. When you realise that there is nothing missing, everything is there just in different forms, you can embrace your unique GENIUS and reach your full potential.

Since the weather is still a little chilly, I thought I would touch base on the importance of supercharging your immune system - NATURALLY! 

Super natural ways to boost your immune system include:

- Getting Adjusted: A chiropractic adjustment boosts your immune system. The brain and spinal cord run, coordinate, control, harmonise and govern every aspect of your health and your existence. There is an innate intelligence within your body which gives you the power to self heal. Without a proper functioning/ balanced nerve system you cannot be well and function at your best. Keeping it interference/ subluxation free is vital. In clinical trial studies, getting adjusted has been shown to boost immunity up to 400%. So next time your "expressing health" (what we at Wave Chiropractic call it when you are doing a snotty nose, temperature, congestion, cough, etc...), come and grab an extra adjustment.

- Avoiding Sugar: Research suggests, that sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately.
