The Goal Of Life…

STAY OPEN! 

As I walked into the gazebo at the park to record this episode, the amazing smell of sweet honeysuckle flooded my senses and immediately increased my state of calm.

So I hope some of that calm gets transferred to you with this "honeysuckle inspired" video that is all about STAYING OPEN.

  • Learn a critical mindset tip to avoid Alzheimer's. 
  • Learn specific nutrients that keep cell to cell communication OPEN so all of your 100 trillion cells can speak to each other (do you think that's important?). 
  • And of course, learn how to activate your "inborn spiral of power" for pain relief and organic posture with a simple intention that automatically turns it on!

Core Wellness News: New Sites, Big Changes…Are You IN?

Posted on April 24, 2012 by drsteve
Now we're faster, safer,
and better than EVER!

After seeing "FATAL ERROR" pop up on the screen repeatedly on my blog and on my training and coaching site over the last few months, I decided it was time for big time change.


So here's what we've done to make it all better for you:
 
  • Changed hosting providers and servers (now sites are at LEAST 5 times faster!  Woo HOO!)  Thank you Host Gator!
  • Hired a security specialist to clean our sites and build a bullet proof fortress around them.  (Collette…you ROCK!)
 
NOTE:  We will be changing the design here on the blog over the next day or so.  So if things look weird temporarily…it's all good!
 
BOLD NEW VISION:
 
Since we have now reached over 750,00 people in over 151 countries (mind blowing), with our mindset, movement, and nutrition education, Rebecca and I have decided to take it to the next level and get VERY serious about teaching and coaching.
 
We will still be providing free videos, blog posts, facebook sharing, etc (in fact…lots more of that)!
 
But we are also going to be offering more premium training and coaching options if you would like to follow our proven method of reversing the pain and unhealthy aging that comes from "Crossed Posture Syndrome" and other damaging imbalances that occur with mental, physical, and emotional stress.
 
So be on the lookout for upcoming new content that will tell you exactly what to expect with the premium training and coaching programs.
 
WHEW!  Thanks for staying with me on this one.  It's been a crazy whirlwind but everything blew up for a reason.  I'm just glad I decided to use it as motivation for growth rather than staying mad and frustrated (yes…I was BOTH!) 
 
When one door closes, another door opens when we stop focusing on that silly closed door!
 
I take 100% responsibility for everything I create and I'm taking bold action now to create some new amazing results for amazing people like YOU!

If you have any questions or comments please post them below!
 
Be well.  Talk to you soon.

How To Release Your Upper Ribs For A Deep Full Breath, Less Pain, And More Energy

Posted on April 12, 2012 by drsteve

VIDEO BELOW!

Simple Release For Upper Ribs Helps With Deeper Breathing

Simple Release For Upper Ribs Helps With Deeper Breathing

Today's episode reveals how to get a full deep breath by releasing your upper ribs and scalene muscles.

Better oxygenation means less pain and more energy.  So watch the short video for a self test to see if you are "over breathing" or creating the phenomenon called "respiratory alkalosis" which causes your oxygen to stay in your blood instead of being delivered to the tissues for energy!

The simple technique shown will also help you release your scalene muscles and upper ribs to start eliminating the trigger points that can cause

- hand and wrist pain that can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome

- elbow pain that can mimic tennis elbow or golfer's elbow

- shoulder pain that can mimic rotator cuff tendonitis, arthritis, and bursitis

- chest pain that can mimic heart problems

- upper back pain and more!

As always…leave me a comment and tell me how this feels or what it does for you.  You can leave questions for me as well! (I often use questions as fodder for upcoming episodes)

Acute Injury Protocol For Warp Speed Healing After Traumatic Injury

Posted on March 27, 2012 by drsteve
No it's not me but it's how I fell.

No it's not me but it's how I fell.

VIDEO BELOW

2 weeks ago today I took a pretty serious spill on my mountain bike that put me in a sling for 4 days with an acromioclavicular (shoulder) injury.

So I am VERY grateful for the knowledge I have about how to speed the healing and repair process immensely and I wanted to share it with you.

The video I recorded for you (below) outlines the 3 key elements plus some other nutritional products I'm currently using to re-build  QUALITY tissue.

Below are the Metagenics products I use on myself and on my patients with acute injuries for "warp speed healing":  (All you need to provide is your name and email address to set up a free account.)

1.  Proteolytic Enzymes (Protrypsin) -  that you take on an empty stomach that speeds the healing process immensely, especially important in the inflammatory stage (first 72 hours).  It "drains the inflammation bucket".  You'll be amazed at how fast bruises and swelling subside.

  • Provides premium-grade chymotrypsin and trypsin—enzymes that support tissue health.*
  • Every batch of raw material is carefully manufactured in a moisture and pH-controlled environment and is independently assayed to ensure maximum enzyme potency.

2. "Herbal Aspirin" (Inflavonoid Intensive Care) – These powerful herbal anti-inflammatory herbs and bioflavonoids at to "turn down the faucet" on the amount of inflammation that gets created and "dumped into the bucket".

  • Features an extract of boswellia, as well as turmeric and ginger—all premium quality and standardized to key compounds to ensure effectiveness, reproducibility, and consistent results.
  • Provides cayenne, an herb that has long been prized for its many health benefits such as the relief of minor pain, which complements the activity of the other herbs.*
  • Offers added antioxidant support from quercetin.*
  • Provides excellent muscle tissue support and relief of minor pain following intense exercise or "weekend warrior" activities.*

3.  "Tissue Repair and Remodeling Nutrients" (Collagenics Intensive Care) – the bottom line is…you can heal good or bad, fast or slow.  These nutrients form the building blocks for quality tissue.

  • Supplies glucosamine sulfate, a precursor for proteoglycan synthesis, in combination with vitamin C, proanthocyanidins from grape seed, and vitamin E—nutrients that provide antioxidant protection.*
  • Provides specific minerals that act as precursors for the production of intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD), an important antioxidant enzyme in the body.*

(*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.)

This injury also really got me thinking about what would happen if I couldn't perform manual work anymore.

It was just the kick in the seat of the pants I needed to get more serious about the Reverse CPS Now! Training Course and Core Wellness Coaching.

More to come on that. 

Save the link to this blog post in case you or someone you know needs some warp speed healing!

Dr. Steve

P.S.  Be sure to bookmark this acute injury protocol at the link below.  It can save you years of distress because it drastically reduces scar tissue as your body goes into the repair and tissue remodeling phase.

The Biggest Posture Correction Mistake I See (and the correction that works immediately!)

Posted on March 13, 2012 by drsteve
The Push Away Posture Technique

The Push Away Posture Technique

If it wears your back out when you try to sit up with good posture, you're likely making the same mistake that I observe in 99% of my students, clients, and patients.

When you hear "SIT UP STRAIGHT!"…what do YOU do?

You probably throw your shoulders back, lift you chest, and raise your chin a little, right?  It's like the military "chest up" scenario.

Well, there's a better way.  And in today's short and sweet episode of Core Wellness TV, I very simply demonstrate the correct way that can help you sit all day long in good posture and never wear out!

The reason I KNOW this is the most effective way is because it mimics the grand design and the perfect unfoldment of human verticalization.

This is also a very abbreviated explanation.  We go much deeper in the Organic Posture Course.

After you watch the video, let me know if this makes sense to you and leave any other comments or questions you have!

Tornado Relief Event Co-Sponsored By Core Wellness Institute

Posted on March 5, 2012 by drsteve

(PRINTABLE EVENT FLYER BELOW)

Since it's made national news, you may be aware of the devastating tornado outbreak here in Southern Indiana and Kentucky.  (You can click HERE to see photos)

A lot of people want to help and just don't know the best way so I got together with my friend and fellow music lover, Al Gaudet, who owns Big Al's Charity Thrift Store in Clarksville and put together a benefit event with music from yours truly and local folk rock artist Tonya Buckler.

We'll have a smoothie bar plus other food and drink in addition to the live music.  Tonya will start shortly after 5pm and I will be playing around 6:15. 

We are taking monetary donations and Al is giving 50% of all sales during the event to the relief fund as well.

Lessons From Spring Peepers

Lessons From Spring Peepers

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.

How To Stoop And Reach Without Hurting Yourself

Posted on February 8, 2012 by drsteve

QUESTIONS?  COMMENTS?  LEAVE THEM BELOW!

Let's face it…you've got to bend over to do stuff. 
 
So you might as well learn how to do it in a way that doesn't chew up your joints, muscles, and tendons in the process.
 
Today's episode of Core Wellness TV goes step by step process to "injury proof" your stooping process.
 
I think about it every time I plug-in and unplug my laptop into the power strip under my desk.
 
I actually had a janitor ask me to do this one because he does this exact process hundreds of times a day when he reaches under cubicles to change trash can liners.
 
If you work with little children (teachers, daycare, etc.) this is HUGE for you as well.
how to bend and reach correctly

how to bend and reach correctly

 
But, like I said, we ALL do it more than we could possibly realize.  So you might as well learn how to protect your body in the process!
 
Join me and my geese friends at the gazebo on an amazingly energetic sunshiny day and get your stoop on!
 
Dr. Steve
 
P.S.  I also clued my Facebookers in yesterday on a special "how to lift properly" podcast and video I did as a guest expert on the Construction Business Mastery Alliance Podcast.
 
And although I'm mentioning it here now, you could be missing out on other timely tips and resources if you haven't "liked" us yet at www.facebook.com/corewellnessinstitute ! 
So do it now and jump on-board the "Posture Bus"!

Natural Solutions For ADHD And Inspiration From Mom

Posted on January 31, 2012 by drsteve

Today I got an email from a private client asking me if I had any information about natural ADHD solutions she could share with a friend that was considering putting her child on medication.

So I clipped this piece of nutrition and lifestyle coaching from a Q&A session I did as part of a coaching program last year.

(I've decided to include these detailed Q&A archives as one of the bonuses when I get the finishing touches on our upcoming Pain Relief And Posture Training Course.)

But for today you'll learn some key nutrients and therapeutic lifestyle change solutions for brain health, and especially for ADHD.

I cover a lot of controversial ground on this one so be sure to leave your comments and let me know what you think.

www.gettoyourcore.com/adhd-q-and-a

Keep thinking good thoughts, eating good food, and please KEEP MOVING…like a child.

Dr. Steve

P.S.  Today marks a year to the day that my Mom passed.  So in the spirit of my biggest cheerleader and supporter, I want to tell you that you can do ANYTHING when you focus on immersing yourself in a healing environment each moment. 

Then your next moment becomes better, then the next moment even better than that!

And THIS MOMENT is all there is.

Remember…Your past does not define you.  It is only a memory in your mind.  It can be released in this moment.  Then your body, without the thoughts of guilt, worry, shame, anger, and fear can express your innate state of health and vitality.

There is no past to feel guilty about and and no future to worry about…we only have THIS MOMENT.  And we can choose peace. 

So focus on something that makes you happy and fulfilled.  Make amends.  And see only the innocence and beauty in everyone you meet.

Thanks Mom.  You still continue to be my teacher.

I love you.

Break This Loop For Permanent Healthy Change (Core Wellness Curriculum Part 1)

Posted on January 13, 2012 by drsteve
(VIDEO BELOW)
 
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!

Dr. Steve

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.
