All that and good looking too.

Everyday people will ask me what exactly I do. Other than optimizing human performance, increasing vitality, making you look and feel younger, adding life to your years and years to your life along with improving your quality of living; not that much.

I do it all by focusing on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.  Even though it’s mostly to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches; through therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as  nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.

The most common though being a “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.”   The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture, and through a varying barrage of chemical and emotional stress for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.

Adjustments also remove the affects of the other forms of stress on your body, boosting your immune system and improving performance helping to treat and prevent all forms of disease and disorder (more on this to come).

La Leche

Breast milk is kind of like Coke, there’s nothing better than the real thing. When at all possible, breast milk should be the only source of calories for children for as long as possible. Does that mean 17 years old? Probably (ok, definitely) not. But 6-18 months is doable under most circumstances. It’s the perfect food, it has everything you need.

The milk lobby is better than its product. They have many people thinking that cow’s milk is just as good and is good for adults too. In a pinch, whole milk can work for kids under 2; for everyone else, dairy is a condiment, not a serving. Turns out it’s not as good for us as we once thought. So lots of people have switched to soy.

Well, soy, in a large population of people, causes intestinal inflammation; especially in children. This inflammation spills over into other systems and can be made manifest in hyper-sensitivity and hyper-irritability disorders such as colic, sleep disturbance tactile abnormalities and ADD/HD.

Then there’s the cereal that we put in the milk so the kid gets fuller so we can hopefully sleep instead of watching Last Call with Carson Daily holding a bottle. Well, like any other carb, the cereal burns out too fast actually making the little poop machines hungrier in the long run (kind of like Chinese noodles). If that wasn’t enough, our intestinal tract is home to 100’s of different types of single-cell organism such as yeasts and bacteria that live in a happy, separate but equal medium. Disturb the balance, and your innards turn into 1990’s Yugoslavia where numerous factions with un-pronounceable names battle for control of the same little area wreaking havoc on everything insight.

Simple carbs too early in life and too many in toddlers through adults help feed the over-growth of the yeasts that snow balls over time resulting in chronic, progressive intestinal inflammation. Manifested by: ADD/HD, tactile abnormalities, blood sugar issues, irrational behavior, anxiety, depression, bowel disorders; chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, fibromyaglia and so on and so on and so on.

The breath of life. Isn’t it kind of funny how the thing that gives us life is the same thing that deteriorates it? Oxygen. It’s really not that good for you. Technically, it’s half bad for you. Oxygen is taken into the blood, transported to the cells and cleaved in half to power cellular activity. The problem is, these oxygen halves run around the cell wreaking havoc like Boy Scouts at a pizza buffet trying to steal electrons in a process known as oxidation (yes, the same oxidation that rusts American cars). Oxygen makes you look and feel old from that damage. That’s why I take anti-oxidants like the ones found in Lyflo Select’s antioxidant complex to help me keep my boyish good looks-Ok, so maybe I’m not the best spokesman, but could you imagine how bad it would be if I didn’t take them?

Disc disorders-disc disease, such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bulging discs, internal disc derangements and the such are responsible for the vast majority of back pain. Good thing Dr Lee is a disc expert. If you or anyone you know is suffering from disc problems, low back or neck, let us know!

Novolife Cleanse for Caitlin Day 6 And the FInal Day &

Day 6 - so this day was a little hard becuase you had those three wonderful days where you got eat dinner of chicken and vegetables and then you had to start drinnking the cleanse again and only shakes so I thought I would miss the food a lot but becuase of it being later in the week the shakes actually filled me up more and I was not nearly as crappy as I was on Day 2!

Day 7- definetly went by slow cause it was the last day and I was looking forward to the next morning. But other than that it wasnt bad. The cleanse even tasted better and I did not have a lot of cravings for the foods I ate before the cleanse. I was really ok and am still doing fine. Let you know if I lost any weight but the big thing for me was changing my cravings and I feel great!

Novolife Cleanse for Caitlin day 4 & 5

Day 4&5 - these two days were basically the same for me. I had more energy then I did on the other days and in general since cleansing and I was not craving foods and was full most of the day off the shakes and some almonds and then ate my 400-600 calorie meal at night and felt completely satisfied. Overall I would say these have been the easiest days especially because the shake for meals has sort of become routine now.

Day 2&3 Novolife cleanse for Caitlin

Day 2 - so this day got alittle bit harder...I noticed I was hungry a little more and was not as energetic but overall I felt better. This was probably the toughest day for me so far.

Day 3 - This day was great because I got so excited that I got to have "real" food at the end of the day. and you don't drink the cleanse on these days so you start to enjoy what you are eating. The shakes have always tasted great so not having to drink a cleanse with them is great

Novolife Cleanse Day 1 for Caitlin our Patient care coordinator

End of the first day of the cleanse and besides being very cold in this freezing office I feel ok. I wasnt too hungry today shakes really were filling. The cleanse portion did not taste that great but it was bearable and got better every time I drank it. It also seems to taste a lot better with cold water. So I am still alive and besides a little cold feel great!
