GardenCast – The Healing and Calming Benefits Of Lettuce Alkaloids

June 7th, 2010

What an awesome weekend here in Indiana.
 
I did a lot of gardening and was amazed again by all the white "sap" or latex that oozes out of lettuce when you break off the leaves.
 
So Rebecca and I made a GardenCast to tell about the interesting sedative effects that lettuce chemicals contain.  My searches online kept coming up with content about "Lettuce Opium".
 
Hmmmm…very interesting…. 

  

The Hopi tribe used to actually dry and smoke the sap before sleep to induce more lucid dream states.
 
But you can use the power of this amazing chemical in lettuce to calm your nerves and heal your body in the process.
 
This alkaloid compound also helps to block substance-P, which is the chemical that transmits the message of pain to your brain.  (I didn't mention that on the video).
 
But there's lots more to learn, so join us in our back yard garden for a short but very important lesson!
 
See you there!

P.S.  I also talked a bit about magnesium, "earthing", and meditation to be sure to check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Anti-Gravity Posture Through Finger Spreading – How To Make Your Arms Float!

June 4th, 2010
3 comments

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!

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!

How to lift, push, pull, and squat…correctly! (HYDWYDWYDI)

Today you learn the secret to the uncanny success my clients experience when it comes to getting rid of annoying pain and ultimately KEEPING the pain away!

The secret???  HYDWYDWYDI!!!

What's that mean?  It means what's really important when it comes to remodeling and rewiring your posture for a pain free, active, and energetic life is…

How You Do What You Do When You Do It!

It's about EVERY MOMENT!  This moment to moment awareness of living your life with maximum effeciency and maximum congruence or alignment of your joints is what allows your brain to "rewire" your movement pathways for smooth, integrated movement!

Yes, you can accomplish some significant rewiring with a daily exercise routine and I prescribe corrective exercise for everyone!  

BUT nothing compares to rewiring HYDWYDWYDI when it comes to remodeling and rewiring your posture for protection from disc injuries, sciatica, arthritic degenerative disease, carpal tunnel, plantar fascitis, and all the other completely preventable and often even reversable life-stealing conditions!

Enjoy this screencast that goes over some simple corrections to some of the common movements that "chew up" your joints when done incorrectly.

Be sure to let me know if these help you and what else you'd like to know how to do without injuring yourself by leaving a comment below!  Thanks!!

Goodbye Core Wellness, Hello Core Wellness INSTITUTE!

The Only Constant Is CHANGE!

After 5 AWESOME years on Spring Street in downtown Jeffersonville, IN, Rebecca and I have decided it's time to move on and embrace the change we've been contemplating over the past year.

Now that we are moving away from our original intent of creating a "Curves-like" exercise circuit facility and are full speed ahead  creating multi-media home training and study courses, we are headed to the Nolan Centre at 131 E. Court Ave. in Jeffersonville just 3 blocks away!

The new space allows us to let go of some of the wide open wasted space and create much more functional studio space for creating new content and will serve as home base for our new online educational adventures with the upcoming CoreWellnessInstitute.com!

Join Rebecca and I in this bittersweet episode of Core Wellness TV as we say goodbye to Core Wellness on Spring Street and hello to Core Wellness Institute, LLC!

And in case you're wondering, YES, I will continue doing chiropractic rehabilitation sessions and nutritional medicine consults at the Institute!!

P.S.  If you're local and would like to leave a comment about any experiences or health breakthroughs you've had at the Spring Street location, please do!  I've been honored to be a partner in some miraculous transformations in this space and would love to hear your side of the story!
