The dangers of Mercury fillings & heavy metal toxicity

In case you haven't heard about the dangers of heavy metal toxicity, I have attached an eye opening video as one example. Most people don't even realize the hidden dangers we are exposed to on a daily basis. Most dentists/Oral Surgeons can remove these very easily, and I highly recommend it. A large number of patients with a wealth of unusual symptoms can see tremendous results by de-toxifying their bodies properly. Having these dental implants/fillings removed is just one of the many things you can do to start ridding your body of toxic heavy metals such as Mercury (Hg).

Please check out this video if you have about 5 minutes to spare. Share this info with anyone you love. It's worth it. http://iaomt.org/videos/

The Cool Springs Women's Health Expo is July 18-20 at the Cool Springs Galleria. Mark your calendars! Expo Hours are Fri: 10am-9pm, Sat: 10am-9pm and Sun: 12pm-6pm.

ChiroFit will have a booth in the center of the mall on the 1st floor. Come by and get your body fat and BMI checked or just see what what's new at the office. We will have give-aways and drawings for all to participate in. We always enjoy seeing y'all out and about!

This is a huge annual health fair so come on out and support your local health vendors. Heck, you even get plenty of exercise walking around the mall checking out all of the booths! Why not!?

Patient of the Week

ChiroFit is implementing a featured "Patient of the Week." We will honor one patient each week with a $10 gift certificate to use at ChiroFit, as well as a photo and their success story. There is no greater reward for us than to see our patients stick to their treatment plans and truly reach their health goals! Patients have a lot of responsibility to make wise food choices and other lifestyle choices on a daily basis in order to succeed! We know how hard everyone works, and we want to reward those who put in so much effort.

Congratulations to everyone that has made it to Phase 3! You've worked hard and deserve to look and feel great! Keep up the good work. This will be a lifetime challenge with all of the bad influences surrounding us. If you keep your goals in mind, we can coach you through the little obstacles. We continue to revise our materials and services to make being healthy as easy as possible for our patients. Your input is always welcome at ChiroFit!

Make this your year to get healthy for good!

The benefits of lacto-fermented foods

Sauerkraut contains large quantities of choline, a substance that lowers blood pressure and regulates the passage of nutrients into the blood. Choline has another interesting property in that it aids the body in the metabolism of fats. If choline is lacking, fats accumulate in the liver. . .Sauerkraut also contains acetylcholine which has a powerful effect on the parasympathetic nervous system. It helps reduce blood pressure, slows down the rate of heartbeat, and promotes calmness and sleep. As acetylcholine is destroyed by cooking, raw sauerkraut and its juice is preferable to cooked. Acetylcholine also has a beneficial effect on the peristaltic movements of the intestine. Sauerkraut and other lacto-fermented vegetables thus are recommended for constipation.

New Years Resolution: Run a Marathon

With the doors to ChiroFit officially open this Monday, we are moving on to our next biggest goal yet. Dr. Hunter and I have made our New Years resolution to run our first marathon. We have recruited a team of about 10 runners so far. Everyone is training in different locations, and we cannot wait to get together April 26 to see how far we have come! The Music City Marathon travels throughout downtown Nashville with the streets chocked full of amazing bands, new artists, and party-goers who will watch us drag our butts across that finish line! We are running for Team ChiroFit if anyone wants to join. You need to already be running the first of the year in order to train for a full marathon. For those of you looking to run the half, you can train in 2-3 months EASILY! We are following the Novice 1 training schedule from halhigdon.com. 

We encourage everyone to set their goals for this year whether it be running a marathon or something  far different. See what you are made of. You can do anything you put your mind to. We have never run long distance before, and in 2 weeks we are able to run 7 miles while talking...and even LAUGHING!!! There is no better feeling than taking control of your life and your health. No Doctor or friend can restore your health. You must want it and work for it....everything else is a cake walk if you have your health! 

Please call our office for further questions about the marathon, the team, training, or to find a running partner. We would love to help keep you healthy throughout the new year and assist with ANY and ALL injuries you are struggling with. We also offer in-house personal training specific to your goals at ChiroFit. You can build your stamina, strength, and overall wellness through holistic health. All patients/clients scheduled in January will receive 10% off of any of our services. 

Cheers to Good Health in 2008 and beyond!
