Greetings!
 
Years ago, some great men established freedom for us in this great Nation under God.
 
What are you doing with that freedom?  You have freedom to do what you want... are you choosing habits that are enslaving you anyway, or are you choosing habits that set you free?  
 
Health can set you free!
You can be free to be happy, fulfilled & peaceful.
 
We're committed to helping you acheive the level of health you desire!   
 

Warm Wishes for your Ultimate Freedom, 
 
Dr. Carrie Jardine & Staff

Living your best life NOW!
What would you do with Optimum Health?
 
Sitting by a beach?  Playing with your kids or grandkids?  Traveling the world?  Running a marathon? 
 
Many people spend much of their life in "problem mode" or "survival mode" that the possibility of "Optimum Living" is like a fairy tale they read about once.
 
It's tempting to fall into the trap of using sickness or pain for attention, love and caring.  We may do this unknowingly.  We may get "self-importance" from telling people we have the "hemo-geno-cranio-nervo-itis" disease!  Health is more fun and the process can be enjoyable too!
 
Step one: Get clear on what Optimum Health is for you.  What does it look like, taste like, feel like, smell like?  What are you doing and with whom?  What feelings do you have? Happy, peaceful, content, loved, adored, purposeful? 
 
Step two: Knowing where you are right now.  Optimum health is 100% and Death is 0%, so how are you functioning, and how long would it take for you to be 100%?  How long did it take for you to be where you are right now?  Usually, Years!  Perfection is a process & so is Health.
 
Step three: Recognize when something isn't quite right.  Tired, allergies, pain, creaks, cavities are all signs you aren't working quite right.
 
Step four: Know what makes you get healthier and what makes you get sicker.  The chiropractic adjustment will always make you healthier- every time!  Get your tune up today.
Where does Dis-Ease come from?
The Iceberg Analogy
Age gracefully
 
The iceberg is a wonderful analogy of how our bodies work. 
 
The tip of the iceberg is the symptoms we experience while the larger threat lurks beneath the surface.  It takes 15 years for most diseases to develop, so symptoms are one of the final stages of the disease process.
 
Absence of symptoms does not reflect true health. Symptoms are the consequences of our many lifestyle choices.  Symptoms are also our bodies' way of telling us to stop doing something and pay attention.  Too often we think by melting the iceberg tip (remove our symptoms) we will regain our health.
 
The hidden portions of the iceberg are like the stressors and subluxations of life, which are a combination of the following:  physical, biochemical and emotional. 
 
Subluxations are the nerve system and tissue damage we experience due to stress.  Subluxations interfere with your organs functioning correctly and this leads to diseased and dying tissue.
 
Only through consistent healthy habits can you maintain true health, and remove the whole iceberg!

Which way do you want to go?
And how important is it for you to get there?
 
Lewis Carroll (and the Cheshire cat) once said, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."  In regards to achieving better health, it is important for you to know which way you want to go.

Do you want 100% Optimum Health, or are you okay with just 85% right now.  There is no "RIGHT" answer, but your answer will lead you to make choices about your time and money now & in the future.
 
The picture above is used as we refer to "Down the tubes" as choices leading to Disease and "Up the tubes" as choices leading to Optimal Health.

Up the tubes:  Anytime you make healthier choices in the physical, chemical emotional areas, you are journeying back up the tubes.  Health is a process!

·         Become subluxation free
·         Use strategies to deal with stress
·         Think good self-talk with yourself
·         Begin or improve "Moving" (exercising)
·         Add more nutrients
·         Eliminate poisons from your diet
·         Get clear on your goals
·         Attend our Health workshops
Down the tubes:  These things cause stress in your life and will leave your body very susceptible to disease and symptoms.  Knowing this will help you modify your habits & life to accomodate for difficult times. 
 
Many people get adjusted more during trying times, and de-stress more with walks, long baths and extra workouts.
 

·         Injuries, moving improperly
·         Poor diet, poisons or nutritional deficiencies
·         Divorce or Death of loved ones
·         Layers of stress
·         Uncorrected subluxations
·         Sleeping too much or too little
·         Not moving enough
·         Saying "It shouldn't have happened like this."
·         Negative self talk
