The Chiropractic Family Lifestyle

Hi everyone!  This is Dr. Judd Wattenbarger; we need to talk about something that has reached CRISIS STAGE in our communities:

Children nowadays are faced with health challenges far greater than their parents.  In fact researchers say that this could be the first time in history that the upcoming generation will have a SHORTER life expectancy than their parents!  Whether we have children or not the health status of children in our country, present and future, impacts EVERYONE.
How in this era of ‘modern medicine’ could this be the ase?   There are many reasons, but I will name the Big 3: 

1. An increasingly nutritionally deficient and often toxic food supply
2. A more sedentary lifestyle with the advent of TV, computers, video games, etc.
3. A failing health care system that promotes treating symptoms - not the actual cause of symptoms or treating disease instead of maintaining health.

This is very scary stuff!  How do we change this trend?  CHOICES - lots of little things adding up to big outcomes.  To start, we must take responsibility for our own health.  ALL OF US!  Many of our friends tell my beautiful wife, “You are so lucky to have a chiropractor at home!”  Why do they say that to her?  Is it because they think she will never have a headache?  Is it because they think she will never have back pain?  Is it because I am just that great (I like to think so!)?  Those are probably some of the things they think.  But it goes much deeper.  My family gets the benefit of the ‘Chiropractic Lifestyle’.  What does that mean exactly…well we take responsibility for our health and make the really important choices ourselves.  My kids have learned that the answer to life’s problems don’t come from a pill bottle.  My oldest daughter is totally convinced that ANYTHING can be adjusted away!  Growing pains – adjustment…headache – adjustment…stubbed toe – adjustment… Brussels sprouts for dinner - family dog!  You get the idea.

Let’s compare the ‘Chiropractic Lifestyle’ vs. the ‘Medical Lifestyle’:

The Chiropractic Lifestyle = respecting God’s design for life, death, health and disease, and knowing that we are ultimately responsible for the actions that result in our physical, chemical and emotional health. 

The Medical Lifestyle = expecting someone else to teach us all that we need to know about health and disease, and letting them make the important decisions about our health.

That is why the next generation is in danger of being worse off than their parents.  We let other people make the really important decisions for us.  The remedy: CHOICES, lots of good choices.  Which way are you going to go?

Space here is limited.  Therefore I am inviting, no, imploring you to join us on September 16 at 6:30 PM when I will be presenting more of these strategies in a workshop.  If you have something going on, reschedule it.  Really, reschedule it!  Come and let’s learn about implementing choices that make your family better!  See you there!

Dr. Judd
