Dr. Steve reveals the powerful secret of "Organic Posture"
[Video Below]
Since there's been such a positive response to my recent episodes on how to protect your spine with hip hinging and hip mobility in general, I put this this episode together to take it to another level and help you reverse the "old looking" and damaging "Forward Head Posture".
This combination move is a "must do" for you if you want to stay upright and pain free so you continue to do the things you love to do!
You'll be using the ultra ninja trick that I call the "Push Away Phenomenon" of "Organic Posture".
This special method bypasses all of your brain's faulty wiring and corrupted movement programs and "taps in" to your brain's perfect posture program that you developed from the time you were born to the time you were 6 years old.
Think about it. You don't see many 4 to 6 year olds with bad posture, do you?
So go ahead and use the "push away phenomenon" I talk about in this video to re-awaken your confident, youthful, "organic" posture! Your back, your hips, your neck, your shoulders, and even your knees will thank you!
Connect Your "Bubbling Spring" and Put Out The Fire Of Stress!
Today's episode reveals how activating the Chinese medicine point called "The Bubbling Spring" will send a "Spiral of Power" through your entire body.
This is because when you connect the K1 Kidney Acupuncture point to the earth, it unleashes one of the most powerful anti-aging secrets ever. It's a SUPER way to "wake up" your FEET!
You see, your feet give your brain a LOT of input which it uses to make decisions about whether to protect your knees, hips, low back, and on up the chain. It's called AFFERANCE and it's VERY important! So watch closely!
Please forgive the crazy cricket, the wind, and the top of my head being cut out on occasion. The content was just so good that I decided to put in some subtitles and let it fly! (But I'll let you be the judge of the content
This whole concept can very realistically be a game changer for you. You can feel the power of youth and vitality literally at every moment when you use this concept.

P.S. Don't miss the "Butt Squeezing" caveat at 5:20. It's the missing link for lots of people.
P.S.S. One more disclaimer…I am NOT versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine but some of these "Anti-Aging" basics, even if they are not "spot on" with TCM, will be very helpful to you.

Here's the The 180 – Age Formula developed by Dr. Phil Maffetone, whose book "In Fitness and In Health" got me on the right track over 13 years ago. I realize this is simplistic and may seem to go against new fat burning research on the benefits of high intensity interval training. But training your nervous system aerobic fitness is still always first on my list…especially during a detoxification program.
To find the maximum aerobic heart rate:
1. Subtract your age from 180 (180 – age)
2. Modify this number by selecting a category below that best matches your health profile:
a. If you have, or are recovering from, a major illness (heart disease, high blood pressure, any operation or hospital stay, etc.) or you are taking medication, subtract an additional 10.
b. If you have not exercised before or have been training inconsistently or injured, have not recently progressed in training or competition, or if you get more than two colds or bouts of flu per year, or have allergies, subtract an additional 5
c. If you've been exercising regularly (at least four times weekly) for up to two years without any of the problems listed in a or b, keep the number (180 – age) the same.
d. If you have been competing for more than two years duration without any of the problems listed above, and have improved in competition without injury, add 5.
For example, if you are 30 years old and fit into category b: 180 – 30 = 150, then 150 – 5 = 145.
Rebecca and I did a seminar at Benjamin's school today for 10-12 year olds on "Gaming Posture" and tried several analogies to see if any will stick when we go back in a month to check in.
The clip below is the "dimmer switch" analogy.
If you have ever successfully motivated a child to correct his or her posture and it actually stuck…can you please share your secret strategies in the comments?
Rooted in the neurodevelopment concept of "pushing away from support points", this technique is the most powerful thing I teach that makes the most impact when my Core Wellness Coaching students "get it".
These other posts will help you understand and embody this concept of "Organic Posture" and the process of Spiraling through the INTENTION of "pushing away" from support points.
(See if you can pick out the "magic phrase" in the video that our new "Posture 2.0" coaching program is based on and put it in the comments below! And let me know what you think about it…I'm curious.)
So many people make posture correction so complicated when it's really very simple.
All you have to do is be 100% at peace and constantly feeling the feeling of growth, renewal, and expansion!
Simple Right???
Yes, except for the fact that the many stresses of the modern world keeps you from ever feeling that feeling of bliss!
So what actually happens to your body when you perceive mental, physical, or chemical stress?
Your body responds by jaw clenching,chin poking, shoulder shrugging, chest breathing, hip closing, and on and on.
When you do this, you create joints that are way out of balance and alignment. And guess what signal this gives to your brain and central nervous system (CNS)? MORE STRESS!!
And what happens when the CNS perceives stress? The stress hormone, cortisol, is released that:
- Tears down muscle and turns it into fat (nice, huh)
-Undercuts your immune system (colds, flu, or allergies, anyone?)
-Demineralizes your bones (ever wonder why they say never to get more than 3 cortisone (synthetic highly concentrated cortisol) injections? Because it eats away your bones!
-Signals your body to use SUGAR instead of FAT for fuel (that means the next size up on your jeans and more INSANE CRAVINGS!)
-Causes decreased amounts of sex hormones to be produced (anybody got any Viagra? or something for these hot flashes?????
-Theres' LOTS more, but that should be enough to get your attention!
I was just talking to a client this afternoon about how amazing it was that just by changing your posture so your joints and muscles are in their most perfectly aligned state, you can make HUGE metabolic changes in your bodyso youstart burning more fat, having less cravings, having better sex, and lots of other wonderful things that make life MORE FUN!
But my point in the video above is that
It ALL starts with your INTENTION.
Are you holding an intention of peace or an intention of stress?
Your body knows. Just look in the mirror.
Remember, it's all just programs in your brain that are just waiting to be "released and rewired"
It's your choice, you can reprogram your mind, remodel your posture, and completely change your life!
(If you want more information about the new paradigm of posture transformation and how to "release and rewire" the damaging patterns of stress that are dragging you down, CLICK HERE to get on our mailing list and receive our FREE "Reverse CPS Now!" video series to reverse the Crossed Posture Syndrome associated with unhealthy aging!)
I released this exercise about a year ago to the people who were in my first Myobalance Method home program trial group.
It's pretty amazing and all you need is a very light theraband (we use yellow).
In the video I refer to an exercise you have not yet seen but it doesn't take away from the power of the message.
Even if you don't have a band you'll still benefit with better posture and less pain if you take the "spreading" concept to heart.
Enjoy!
Dr. Steve
BTW…my apologies for being absent over the last few weeks. A couple of family illnesses have diverted our attention recently. (Rebecca, I, and the boys are all fine!)
But we're getting back on track and I've got the wheels in motion on new coaching program for people who want to get rid of the painful posture of aging and take "Organic" Posture Transformation and Functional fitness to the next level.
I'll also be offering solutions to some of the great comments we've been getting on the blog in an upcoming video, so stay tuned!
