Natural Anti-Aging Secrets & Nutrition

Found a really cool video about about a 109 year old man, Dr. Bernando LaPallo. He is interviewed by Dr. Stefan Kasian, entrepreneur-psychologist-raw food diet proponent.
LaPallo, of Mesa, Arizona, credits his longevity & vitality to his healthy diet, faith, regular exercise, and lifestyle choices.

Read more and watch the video on our main website and blog:
Natural Anti-Aging Secrets & Nutrition

Pay close attention to LaPallo as he reveals his "secrets" - the importance of a good healthy diet and eating natural foods...especially raw food he calls super foods - fresh fruits and veggies.
Raw organic fresh vegetables and fruits are typically better for you, and your body can digest and process them efficiently, so the science backs up his practical experience and the concept of vitalism!

Here is a preview of some of his favorite super foods:
blueberries, cantaloupe, beans, avocado, strawberries, cabbage, leafy greens, cinnamon tea, broccoli, nuts, olive oil, garlic, quinoa, and fish, plus herbs, vitamins, and minerals

Check out these links to his website and book:

Is Chiropractic good for you?

Chiropractic care is good for you because…

…Your brain coordinates and controls every part of your body. Your brain & nerves have an intimate relationship with your skull & spinal column. The 24 bones in your spine work together as a single unit and the slightest misalignment/malfunction of those bones can cause a huge problem in the function/tone of your nervous system.

To put it more simply: if your head isn’t on straight you can’t be healthy and strong.

So, why does your alignment and nerve function matter so much?...

…because there is an Innate Power Source (some call it life energy or life force) that makes each of us alive. Everyone has this inborn intelligent power source. It uses your brain stem, brain, and nerve system to send messages to every organ, tissue, and cell in your body. These messages (mental impulses) are healing and life-giving signals from your brain to body. These signals coordinate and control every action in your body, including the vital functions necessary for life. You need a clear neurological CONNECTION between brain & body so your body can work properly.

To put it more simply: it is all about CONNECTION so you can become more healthy and strong.

And, what does a Chiropractor do to help with this connection?…

...A disciplined, specific well-trained doctor of chiropractic is the ONLY person qualified to assess the function of your nerve system and spine.
A vitalistic upper cervical Chiropractic office like Genesis Chiropractic does exactly what you need. We restore and maintain that vital connection between your brain and body by putting your head back on straight. We connect you to what you need, giving you more access to your innate power source (think of it as a fuller expression of your life).

We can help you be your very best!

Upper Cervical Healthcare Simplified

While thinking about the best way to explain what we do at our office...and how it is vastly different from any other health care practice in NWA...and how we can be honest and humble about what we do, while at the same time offer hope, healing, and happiness...a picture popped into my head!

Actually it was a thot about an image. You have probably heard the famous proverb, "A picture is worth a thousand words." OR "One look is worth a thousand words." OR "A picture's meaning can express ten thousand words." There is some truth to this idea and we've found pictures to be very helpful for our clients!

The following picture shows how an imbalance in the spine PLUS a weakened neurological connection between your brain & body. This negatively affects your posture, balance, muscle tone, nerve function, head tilt, spinal curvature, apparent leg length, and overall strength.

...but there is good news...we can help you!

We provide a specific upper cervical approach that is based on the concept of VITALISM. Everything we do is built upon the scientific principles of human anatomy and neurophysiology PLUS a distinct chiropractic philosophy.

We focus on your vitalistic innate life source, and design your individualized plan of care to help you:
1) improve your body balance and spinal alignment, and
2) restore and maintain your brain-to-body neurological connection.

These 2 simple, yet profound changes give you more strength, balance, function, health, and hope in your life.

NEW listing on The Atlas of Life Directory

We may have hit the BIG time now...
The Atlas of Life blog is one of the top-rated chiropractic sites on the internet. It turns out that Dr. Brandon Harshe primarily promotes and deals with upper cervical chiropractic. He started this blog while a student in chiropractic college and has had amazing success in a relatively short time.

In fact, they were recently rated as the #1 upper cervical website partly because of frequent updates and relevance. And the coolest thing about all that is their focus, which is clearly stated to be "the science, philosophy, and art of chiropractic." Promoting, explaining, blogging, and defending the BIG IDEA.

We submitted a listing on their directory for Genesis Chiropractic. It should show up soon.

Of course there are hundreds of places to go for information, but I can vouch for the integrity of the creator and author of The Atlas of Life. He cares about this stuff with a passion and he won't publish junk or post any links that will lead people astray (and I'm not just saying that because I've been mentioned in his blog!)...

Continue reading below for a preview of our listing details:

Genesis Chiropractic provides a unique VITALISTIC** approach to upper cervical specific chiropractic health care. We are focused on restoring and maintaining a clear neurological connection between your brain & body. We NEVER do any twisting, popping, cracking, or traction; but instead we deliver a specific, scientific, chiropractic adjustment designed for each individual client's unique anatomy and needs.

The specialized X-rays used to determine how to adjust are Blair 3-D stereoscopic spinographic views of the joints of the Occiput, Atlas, and Axis (literally where the skull and spine meet).

The precise protocol used to determine when to adjust (and when not to adjust) is based on pattern analysis of paraspinal thermography, atlas fossa temperature readings, leg checks, body balance & posture, and palpation.

My two main tasks as a Vitalistic Chiropractor are simply:
1) improve the alignment & balance of your spine in order to...
2) restore the tone & function of your nervous system, particularly at brain stem level in the upper neck.

The primary service we provide in our office is "connecting your brain & body" to help you maximize your expression of life. We teach our clients how to maintain the fullest expression of their Innate Life Source (aka - life energy, inborn potential, innate intelligence, mental impulse, breath of God, power source).

Living clear and connected gives your body the best possible advantage to grow stronger & healthier, begin to heal, adapt, thrive, move toward wholeness, and experience all the joys of life.

Live your potential...

Revitalize your life...
