Chirocast

The Opioid Epidemic is one of the worst man-made challenges in recent history. An article in the journal Pediatrics explains that this horrible crisis is effecting our kids too, especially in the 12-17 year old category (see article here: https://bit.ly/2thq3ut). Listen in on the beginning of class as Dr. Rubin tackles this serious issue.

If you live in the US, then you live in the most beautiful and advanced country in the world. Why would we not want to take care of it? When walking into my office every morning, I am always picking up trash. Why? The great speaker Jim Rohn taught us that the environment counts, that little things like picking up the trash make a big difference. Pay it forward and pass it on!

If you haven't read "As a Man Thinketh..." by James Allen, you are probably missing one of the greatest small books of the early 20th century. It is incredibly motivating, and even though it was written over 100 years ago, it is still just as relevant today. Dr. Rubin explains the power of this short book in a passionate talk to students who are about to graduate. The book is available for free here: https://asamanthinketh.net/

When you are driving, the only thing that is stopping your car from crossing over into oncoming traffic is a double yellow line. How do we make sure we are staying on our side of the line? What do we do when we encounter other professionals who cross the line? Dr. Rubin gives 3 examples of 'line crossing.'

Our brains have 2 sides; left and right. BJ Palmer argued that our brains are also polarized as Innate vs. Educated. Part of our brain's function is to use feelings, hunches, and intuition to guide us in making best decisions. He called that Above-down, inside-out. The other part of our brain is designed to download information from outside in. Both are necessary to succeed, but don't let one get in the way of the other.

Is Autism a sort of brain injury? Are the neurodegenerative diseases seen in adults such as Alzheimer's & Parkinson's and the issues seen in concussions all related? Are there disconnections in the brain that are chemically, genetically or traumatically induced? Dr Rubin discusses this theory and backs it up with research.

Most people never think about the importance of the cranium (or skull) especially in children, unless it is directly injured. Few people understand that there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that exit from various small holes in the skull that control things as vital as your eyes, ears, facial expressions, digestion, even your emotional state! Listen as Dr. Rubin explains why all kids should have their cranium checked.

Eyes truly are the windows to the brain. You can tell so much about someone by looking in their eyes, not only about how they are feeling but how they are thinking. Are both eyes focused in the same direction? Do they move together? It's not just about reading a Snellen Eye Chart and getting the letters correct. It's about processing...is the brain processing what the eyes are seeing? Listen in to Class #3.

If you haven't read Think and Grow Rich, The Richest Man in Babylon, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, then you have possibly missed 3 of the most life changing books. Each one touches on topics that no other books before or since have reached in quite the same way. Dr. Rubin gives you an excited reason to check each one of them out from your local library or buy all three on Amazon!

Sid-isms? Dr. Rubin taught a philosophy course at Life University from 2002-2003 that included what was affectionately known at the school as Sid-isms, or specific quotes that Dr. Sid used to say during his assembly's or other lectures. Dr. Rubin describes several of his favorite Sid-isms and how they can be applicable to your life today.
