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

drsteve — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 20:03:15 +0000

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!)

Changed the design of the training and coaching site at www.corewellnessinstitute.com

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

drsteve — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:40:12 +0000

VIDEO BELOW!

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)

Awesome Combo Exercise For Your Low Back, Hips, and Knees

drsteve — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:37:36 +0000

If I had a favorite combination exercise for the low back, hips, and knees…this is IT!

The #1 benefit is likely it's ability to take the load off of your low back and give you more confidence that you back will support you.

For the hips…it will help you get more mobility AND stability along with good functional movement that floods your nervous system with good input that has an overall dampening effect on pain.

One of the best functional combo exercises ever!

Lastly…the benefit as a knee exercise may be more profound if your knees hurt going up and down stairs. (If it hurts your knees to do this exercise, then please do not perform it…you need more remedial work and possibly some guidance through the online training course and coaching at www.corewellnessinstitiute.com.

If you have pain, especially low back pain, do a "pre-exercise audit" by doing a movement that stirs up your pain and rate it 0 to 10 (10 being worst). Then perform the movement slowly on each side 5 to 10 times….then do a "post exercise audit" and rate your pain level.

I'm interested in your results!

Post them in the comments so I can respond.

Also…if you have specific difficulty or pain with the movement tell me what that is so I can address it here on the free blog or with the online course and coaching.

Acute Injury Protocol For Warp Speed Healing After Traumatic Injury

drsteve — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 21:11:45 +0000

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!)

drsteve — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:22:05 +0000

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

drsteve — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 01:00:24 +0000

(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.

Grounding For Mental Clarity, Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition, How Many People Have Crossed Posture Syndrome?

drsteve — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 01:30:22 +0000

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.

Natural Treatment For Heart Disease and Stroke – Hidden Risk Factors Beyond Cholesterol

drsteve — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:59:08 +0000

Since the Core Wellness Institute philosophy is based on the "3 Pillars" of Mindset, Movement, and Nutrition and goes much wider than just exercises and posture therapy, I wanted to address a MAJOR stress in a lot of people's lives…HEART ATTACKS AND STROKES.

I shared some critical information this past week at our monthly Louisville Area Raw Food Meetup on natural treatments to prevent and even reverse cardiovascular disease and captured a really good recording of it for you.

In this 38 minute talk that you can download and take on the road with you, you'll learn:

Why cholesterol is NOT the "ugly animal" like we've been programmed to believe by mass media and drug companies.
Why there's really no such thing as "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol"!
The REAL root of heart disease and strategies to prevent and even reverse hardening of the arteries.
Plus several well researched but surprising tests (that your doctor will likely never order for you) that can reveal hidden risk factors that raise your risk of heart attack and stroke dramatically
The "wildfire vs. controlled burn" analogy that you MUST understand to avoid a tragic early death or debilitating cardiovascular event.

There is SO much more to this story and I'm considering going more in-depth with a seminar or course on the subject. The misinformation and mass brainwashing from the corporate medicine machine is costing millions of lives and billions of dollars spent on unnecessary drugs and procedures!

So I have 2 questions for you:

1. What are your biggest questions and concerns about avoiding and reversing cardiovascular disease?

2. What would YOU like to see covered in a natural cardiovascular treatment educational program?
