Here's the deal...when your body is in the stressful "rounded back, head poked forward" position of crossed posture syndrome (think also: desk job syndrome, computer posture syndrome, or gaming posture syndrome), your nervous system is getting a stress and protection message!

And the overwhelming evidence that has come out over the last 40 years from scientific field of psychoneuroimmunology conclude that when you have STRESS…you have a sabotaged immune system!

Bottom line?…Poor Posture = STRESS message = HIGHER RISK OF COLDS, FLU, ALLERGIES, ETC.!

So…since your immune system is so intricately and directly related to stress, It's CRUCIAL that you reduce stress from ALL angles…Mindset, Movement, and Nutrition!

That's what today's audio podcast is all about.  You'll discover "6 Immune Optimizers" that can help you "Build Your Buffer" against allergies, colds, flu, and all types of immune related diseases…even cancer!

“What Exercise Should I Do If I Have A Disc Problem?

Posted on October 28, 2011 by drsteve

The most common question I get when someone starts in on our exercises to reverse Crossed Posture Syndrome is…"What if I have a low back disc issue?"

Today's episode gives you the same advice I give to my private clients suffering from disc related pain.  You'll also learn where you can get the most important handout my private clients receive.

Even if you don't have a current problem, download it, print it, and put it in your first aid kit…seriously.

You'll also learn how to handle the inflammation that comes along with the injury and how to "calm the fire" with natural supplements that don't impair your body's tissue healing process.

Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxin sodium (Aleve), Tylenol, etc all have nasty side effects that can adversely affect healing as well as mess up your gut and liver.  So now you'll at least have another option.

Please share this important information on Facebook and any other social network you're a part of by clicking the facebook button at the bottom of this post and go "Like" the Core Wellness Institute!

It truly can save a lot of unnecessary suffering.   Have an AWESOME weekend and a safe Halloween!  Be sure to look below the video for more resources and links!!

QUICK HALLOWEEN SURVIVAL TIP!...Remember that sugar suppresses the immune system so PLEASE take it easy and stay healthy!

We actually buy our kids' junk candy with cold hard cash and give them a couple of organic dark chocolate bars to savor.   It saves us a lot of belly aches, colds,and flu.

Dr. Steve

I appreciate you Liking The Core Wellness Institute Facebook page so much that I want to give you this powerful first aid for sciatica handout…

A Cure For Nature Deficit Disorder

Posted on October 10, 2011 by drsteve
Yesterday the boys and I took a trip to their school to release "Bob" the box turtle into a better environment. (We found him crossing the street in downtown Jeffersonville.)

If you feel cramped up in the man-made world and need a fix for your "Nature Deficit Disorder" you're welcome to take a few minutes to come along on our little trip!   You'll get to meet Bob as well as another of his reptilian friends on the creek bank.

By the way, be sure to check out Nathaniel's squat and see if you can still do that!  If not…make it a goal!

One more surefire way to cure Nature Deficit Disorder is to have a little (or a large) garden!

The episode ends with a tour of the raised bed fall garden we take care of at their school.
 
No major exercise or posture lessons today (except for the squat and the barefooting) but the simple act of connecting with the power of Nature can be incredibly healing as well.

How do YOU connect with Nature?  Leave me a comment below

Have an AWESOME nature filled day!

Dr. Steve

P.S.  I want to give a big shout out to Community Montessori in New Albany and to the Montessori method in general.

I'll post a great video below on the blog that explains the method in just 5 minutes.

How To Walk With Confidence (Case Study)

Posted on October 3, 2011 by drsteve
Last week a private client came in because her shoulder was hurting from dragging her books and computer around campus (she's a professor) as you would pull a suitcase through an airport.

Well, she had a revelation when I gave her one very small piece of advice about "pulling vs. pushing".

Immediately she "got it" and sent me two enthusiastic emails telling me what a big difference it made in your shoulder pain and overall posture.

I thought I would share it with you, too. 

Please forward, share, or tweet if it's helpful to you! 

And, as always, I want to hear your questions and comments so leave them below!

Thanks!

Dr. Steve

P.S.  Yes, you can still get the current exercise series to reverse Crossed Posture Syndrome at www.gettoyourcore.com/cps.  But soon it will be coming down and be replaced with a brand new free program.  So make sure you grab it if you haven't already!

Anti Aging Posture Exercises Using “The Bubbling Spring” K1 Kidney Point

Posted on September 29, 2011 by drsteve
Connect Your "Bubbling Spring" and Put Out The Fire Of Stress!

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.

Dr. Steve

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.

Save Your Spine With This “Hip Hinge” Posture Exercise (How To Avoid A Bulging Disc)

Posted on September 26, 2011 by drsteve

This one leg "hip hinge" exercise is crucially important for sparing your spine and helping you avoid disc injury and the life altering sciatica that often comes along with it.

Actually, this is one of the best herniated disc exercises ever because it fixes one of the main CAUSES of disc bulges or disc herniations…too much spinal flexion (bending forward so that you low back becomes rounded).

I think you'll also be pleasantly surprised at how it makes everyday movement like bending, lifting, and even walking soooo much easier.

It's really a test of your balance.  Be sure to leave a comment and tell me how you do!

The #1 Posture Exercise (and ANY Exercise) Mistake

Posted on September 19, 2011 by drsteve
Although I'll be talking more in-depth about this vitally important tip in the upcoming "Do This First" program, I couldn't wait.

This is the #1 mistake I see…not only when people are attempting to correct their posture, but when they attempt to do ANY exercise.

It also holds the key to re-awakening the true "deep" core system that makes pain free, excellent posture seem effortless and look amazing!

Outside of my colleagues (still very few and far between) associated with the Prague School method  of rehabilitative exercise…NO ONE is talking about this! 

Yet it's EVERYTHING!

LEAVE A COMMENT and let me know if you make this mistake or if you see it in those around you!

How to “Trick” Your Core Into Action For Energizing New Stabilty

Posted on September 13, 2011 by drsteve

This little trick that I call "Stick The Landing" in the "Reverse CPS Now!" Home Training Course will let you know real quick if you've developed what I call "Deep Core Amnesia".

It's a great little self test and like a lot of tests…it's also an exercise you can do to develop better awareness of your center!

Also…Enjoy the short history lesson because this episode was filmed near the place in the Ohio River where Lewis and Clark put their boats in the water to embark on what turned out to be a 3 year journey to the Pacific Ocean and back!

WOW…talk about a journey into uncertainty!  We should all take that phrase as a lesson…"Journey into Uncertainty!"

Let me know if you were able to nail this one right away or if you had trouble…what was it?
