Chiropractic Philosophy 101
• Nervous system is the primary controlling system for your Whole body
• Nervous Irritation can be Physical, Chemical or Mental/Emotional
• Address the cause NOT the effect

Chiropractic Philosophy 101
• Dis-ease or Dis-Stress is the cause of all issues…
• Whether the stress is Physical, Chemical or Mental Emotional is beneficial to know in order to be able to tailor a program that is suitable to that individual.

People Have a High Degree of Body Inflammation
• Due to:– Stress.– Ingested toxins.– A diet high in chemicals,
trans fats, food additives and preservatives.
– Lack of exercise.– Lack of restful sleep.– Insufficient vitamins and
minerals.

High inflammation releases your fat-storing, muscle-burning and bone thinning hormone
called “Cortisol”
Inflammation High - Bad

Low levels of inflammation release your fat-burning, muscle-building and bone
strengthening growth hormone aka HGH
Inflammation Low - Good

from grass fed cows.• Clinical studies that support both healthy weight loss
and weight management.

Deficiency of Vitamins and Nutrients
• In 2009 less than 25% of US adults consumed five or more fruit or vegetable servings per day
• Recent evidence suggests that young adults maybe deficient in B12 in much higher percentages than previously thought.
• Most Americans only receive suboptimal levels of vitamins and minerals needed to protect long term health

Aging happens from the inside out.
The body we have now was started 10 years ago.

Vitamin D
• One of most researched vitamin/hormone in last decade
• Synthesized in our skin upon exposure to sunlight
• Current RDA = 400 IU• Overwhelming studies strongly suggest 400 IU is not enough (IOM committee)
• We have low levels because of declined synthesis, pharmaceuticals, pollution and staying indoors
• Vitamin D deficient society

Studies on Vitamin D
• Calcium absorption for bone health
• Muscle strength
• Healthy heart function and healthy blood pressure*
• Critical for regulation of immune function*
• Many age-related conditions associated with lower levels of Vitamin D*

Resveratrol
• Wonder compound found in nature that helps maintain youthfulness– Small amounts in red wine– Highest amount in Polygonum cuspidatum (not grape vine or leaves)
• Helped to protect middle-age animals against high-calorie diet*
– They didn’t gain as much weight– They had better lipid profiles– They had extended lifespan
*Ref: Baur et al. 2006 Nature

• Studies show resveratrol helps maintain cardiovascular health
• Combined with clinically-tested grape seed and grape skin extracts to mimic wine without alcohol for greater cardiovascular health
• Greater benefit with turmeric

Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10)
• Fat-soluble antioxidant in every cell.
• It serves as a coenzyme for several key enzymatic processes.– Production of Cellular Energy– Removes superoxides and inhibits free radicals from destruction of cell membranes– Reduces LDL oxidation and Nucleotides
• Pharmaceuticals and aging declines
• Proper dose with maximum absorption
• Collaborated with the expert.

Objective Benchmarks
• What can you utilise objectively and non invasively to measure the changes being created?
• Tanita scales• Bioscans/Vega Testing• Live Blood Analysis/Hemaview• Measurements• Before and after photo’s• Bone density scan• Blood work

In summary…• Over half of Australia’s adult population is either overweight or
obese.• 6 million Australians engage the services of a weight loss industry
expert each year• 80% fail to follow through and • 95% regained their weight within 12 months.• Currently 17 million Australians are overweight or obese• If weight gain continues at current levels, by 2020, 80% of all
Australian adults and a third of all children will be overweight or obese.
NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE GOING AWAY
