Since I had 3 of my websites go down this past weekend (they tell me I was "hacked" but I'll never know for sure), I got all "spun up" into a sugar burning, carb craving, poor sleep quality state of health.
So to balance my body, mind, and spirit, I headed to the park for a trail run/walk. The clarity was immediate so I decided to share what was on my mind.
Today is a "3 Pillars of Core Wellness" Episode:
Mindset - How to use nature to reduce stress and create mental clarity plus words of wisdom from Joseph Campbell about risk and following your bliss.
Nutrition - Learn which foods trigger inflammation and how to get it under control so you don't end up living with pain, fatigue, and degenerative disease
Movement - Learn the reason why a full 1/3 of people have a higher chance of developing strain and pain from Crossed Posture Syndrome.
BONUS: Big lesson from the spring peepers! Why stress keeps you from fully expressing yourself and your true potential and what to do about it.
Yesterday I had the honor of teaching a group of 30 teenagers at Community Montessori about the intense impact that their thoughts have on their health and their life.
It was the first of 3 "Core Wellness Curriculum" lectures for the teens program and it was so cool to see their eyes and minds light up.
My favorite quote from one of the learners, “You just blew my mind!"
I clipped a 7 minute piece for you that explains:
- Exactly why you keep getting the same results in your life over and over
- The #1 tool you must use in order to break the loop forever and
create different results for your health and your life.
- How to squarely place yourself 100% in charge of what happens to you
- Why in order to make your life really mean something, you have to follow
"The Opposite Rule"
Plus you get to see my dance move and why it's important that I don't care what you think about it!
No matter if you're trying to get out of pain, fix your posture, lose weight, or whatever…THOUGHTS are always first and will make or break your success.
I wish someone would have taught this to me when I was a teenager.
Watch the video. And share it if you feel like it could help someone else! Spread the love and have fun!
Keep thinking good thoughts, eating good food, and KEEP MOVING!

P.S. It really felt good to teach these kids. It inspired me to create a new free training series for you as well. So stay tuned for that.

Today's Episode is filmed in the heat of the day (115 degree heat index) after an hour-long workout at the park to make a point about STRESS and how you MUST "Build Your Buffer"!
WHY?…So you can avoid the pain, fatigue, disease, and overall grumpiness
that comes with stress induced unhealthy aging!
Watch now and get tips on physical, mental, and nutritional strategies so you can "poke some holes" in your stress bucket so it doesn't overflow and spew out all over yourself and everyone around you!
Please share at least ONE simple and immediately applicable strategy that YOU use to build YOUR buffer that could help someone else! Pay it forward in the comments below! THANKS! -Dr. Steve
While I was traveling back from St. Louis after 2 days of continuing education for license renewal, I share what I learned from the road.
It was my first experience with the "dashboard cam" scenario.
Here's what you'll learn and do if you hit the road with me in the video below:
1. A major red flag and a common misdiagnosis a LOT of doctors make that can lead to a totally unnecessary carpal tunnel surgery (or two!)
2. How to change your behavior and how you can help change (and SAVE) the world.
3. Sing a long with me to great new song that our family has adopted as our "summer theme song" this year (click on the kRi and Hettie image below video for a sample of this amazing "wake up" song.
These women have it together with "Guest House". Adopt this as YOUR theme song and you can't go wrong!
While the boys were at swim practice last night, I walked the path around the aquatic center with my ipod and was again reminded of "The Strangest Secret".
This was "The Secret" before the blockbuster video came out.
You can use it to make your life a success or you can use it to make your life a mess.
It's ALWAYS in action. You're doing it all the time. You might as well use it to your advantage.
Get the quick summary below and let me know you're alive with an answer to my question, OK?
If you can't make it to the office for the live event, CLICK HERE to get on our mailing list for information about the access to the audio and possibly even the video. (NOTE: If you already receive emails from us you're good to go and in the loop.)
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.
During my walk in the rain this morning I felt strangely empowered by a gloomy rainy Monday morning. So I grabbed my bloggie and shared some of the feelings I was having from the gazebo.
This is the video that came through me for today's episode and here's what you'll learn…
*Insulin's dirty little stress inducing secret
*How to quiet the constant "buzz" in your bodymind that keeps the stress program running
*How to "recycle" the powerful force of gravity and use it for power and spring
*Why you should be grateful for your "falls", or "valleys", in your life.
Several "gems" to pick out of this one. Enjoy.
Dr. Steve
P.S. Yes, the www.CoreWellnessInstitute.com will be re-opening soon with an entire course built around reversing the damaging stress of Crossed Posture Syndrome. You can go there and get on the list for more details.
