The greatest gift you can give yourself! Understanding how you are wired can lead to a more joy filled life.  Or at least, help you understand some of the challenges you have faced during your spin on this planet. The Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic (VAK) learning styles model provides a simple way to explain and understand learning styles. The VAK learning Style uses the three main sensory modalities (Vision, Auditory, and Kinesthetic) to determine a person's dominate or preferred learning (and memory) style.  In addition, there are Concrete/Analytic ("Left-Brained") and Artistic/Abstract ("Right-Brained") ways our brains process information for memory retrieval  later. Also, most of us filter the world chronologically.  Past, Present and Future processing is our mind's way of understanding the world around us.   Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher opens a conversation on understanding your own information processing tendencies and learning styles.

The current crisis with it's stay-at -home orders from the Governors of almost every state has changed our 'free time' and 'work life' forever.  For good or bad, we will never take certain hobbies, habits and interactions for granted again.  Many are re-prioritizing their entire lives once we return to 'normal' (if there will ever be a return to normal).  Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting and life coach and gym chalk covered philosopher opens a conversation about looking at this chaotic anxious stay at home time as an opportunity to CHANGE EVERYTHING! 

Dr. Tom Pastor is a Minnesota chiropractor who is an instructor in Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique.   He has expertise on lifestyle management.   Understanding how to remain healthy during this time of social distancing and self-quarantine and stay-at-home orders is as important as reducing the spread of the virus.  Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting and life coach and gym chalk covered philosopher opens a conversation with a local expert on surviving the pandemic at home and a close friend and colleague, Dr. Tom Pastor.

Understanding the raw basics of our body's amazing natural defenses can help one understand what we all possess.  If you don't know what you have, how can you take care of it?  A quick review of integument, B Cells, T Cells, Lymph, Killer Cells and Nodes will open the door to less fear and more positive actions.  The worse thing you can do is weaken the immune system when there is a pandemic.   Lack of knowledge weakens the individual, the village, the city and the country.  Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting and life coach and gym chalk covered philosopher opens a conversation on understanding your amazing immune system.

Is it the host or the bug that is most important? The worse thing you can do is weaken the immune system when there is a pandemic.  H1N1 changed its glycoprotein spike arrangement in 1915.  In 1918 , it was called the Spanish Flu and killed 675,000 Americans and 100 million Worldwide!  But the human immune system adapted and fought back.  In June 2009 H1N1 changed a bit again and killed 13,000 Americans.  I personally was very worried about H1N1 (still am). Its nastier than most. H1N1 still causes 90% of all FluA outbreaks and infections today!   But the human immune system adapted and fought back.  Herd immunity as a group, better Th1 & Th2 and Killer T cells as an individual put us back on top of the food chain.  Natural selection rocking us on!  Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting and life coach and gym chalk covered philosopher opens a conversation on the history of a pandemic. Prayers and positive thoughts to all those affected physically, emotionally, economically and spiritually by the current crisis!

He is a fantastic powerlifter in his own right in the raw division winning multiple National and World Titles.  His voice can be heard on the “Strength and Anger” Podcast as the co-host.
