Episode 22:22 How To Be Your Own Doctor

Wouldn't it be great if you could be your own doctor?

Of course it would!

And you can… kind of.

That is, you can learn the two important questions that doctors should ask EVERY patient.

Two questions that will steer a person's care in the right direction.

A healthy direction.

Unfortunately, most doctors DON'T ask these two questions.

That's a mistake… but it's a mistake you can help correct.

How?

By asking YOURSELF these two questions before going to see a doctor.

This will allow you to help him/her provide you with the best care possible.

Care that will get to the ROOT of your problem and not just put a band-aid on it.

On this episode we share these two important questions with you.

We then take you through several "case studies" that demonstrate how these questions can, and should, be used.

Give this episode a good listen and then be sure to share it with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 22:21 The Three CAUSES Of Disease

If there was ONE thing I hope you've learned from the past two episodes of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast it would be this:

1) Treating symptoms/diseases is only HALF the battle.

2) You MUST also identify and correct the CAUSE of the symptoms/disease.

Understand this and you truly will be more knowledgeable than most doctors.

Why?

Because in most cases the only thing a doctor knows to do is prescribe a drug to "treat" your problem.

He/she spends little or no time trying to identify and correct the CAUSE!

It's time for this to change.

That is, doctors need to start "digging deeper."

Start helping patients get to the root cause of their problems.

And we want to help!

Specifically, on this episode we share with you the THREE primary causes of nearly every chronic disease.

The three reasons WHY you have symptoms.

The three aspects of your life that, when weak or out of balance, play a significant role in the development of disease.

Unfortunately, these three factors are seldom talked about by most doctors.

That's why YOU need to know this information.

You need to KNOW the underlying CAUSES behind most symptoms and diseases.

Learn this well and you will be able to take your health to a new level.

Able to help your body HEAL... and not just "cover up" symptoms.

Be sure to give this episode a good listen.

It just may save your life!

And, after listening, be sure to share this episode with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 22:20 Your Disease Is NOT The Problem

On last week's episode we talked about the ONE mistake every medical doctor makes:

They focus their attention solely on treating symptoms and diseases without trying to identify and correct their CAUSE.

The reason this is a mistake is simple:

Treating symptoms does NOT help your body heal.

Healing only comes from identifying and eliminating the CAUSE of your symptoms.

On this episode we dive deeper into this very important topic.

Specifically, we share how your disease is NOT the problem.

Instead, your disease is simply the "signalling system" your body uses to let you know that there IS a problem... an underlying CAUSE to your symptoms and disease.

Unfortunately, most doctors ignore this and limit their scope of practice to the treatment of symptoms.

This does you, the patient, an injustice.

On this week's episode we also share how, if you're struggling to discover the cure to a condition, you MUST find a doctor who will work with you on identifying and eliminating the CAUSE.

Why?

Because, without addressing the CAUSE, there's a good chance your body will not heal!

A good example of this - one we talk about on the episode - is the treatment of High Blood Pressure.

As you know, the typical patient with High Blood Pressure is simply given drugs.

- Drugs that will only "mask" the problem.

- Drugs they will have to take for the rest of their life.

- Drugs that come with several negative side-effects.

- Drugs that will do nothing to provide a cure!

That is, although drugs can lower a person's blood pressure numbers, they will do NOTHING to correct the CAUSE of High Blood Pressure.

As a result, the underlying problems that are CAUSING the High Blood Pressure will persist and continue to do harm to the person's body.

Unfortunately, this problem is NOT limited to the treatment of High Blood Pressure.

It applies to nearly ALL chronic conditions!

That is, in nearly ALL chronic conditions - High Blood Pressure, Type 2 Diabetes, Fatigue, Headaches, Digestive Disorders, Alzheimer's, and Arthritis - drugs are prescribed to deal with the SYMPTOMS, while the CAUSE goes unaddressed.

This has to stop!

How?

On this episode we lay the foundation for doing just that... and set the stage for our next two episodes:

One which will discuss the idea of using Natural Solutions (as opposed to drugs) for treating chronic conditions.

The other for sharing the three primary CAUSES behind nearly all chronic conditions.

Give this episode a good listen as the information will change how you view your symptoms… and how you view your doctors!

Also, be sure to share this episode with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 22:19 The ONE Mistake Every Doctor Makes

Did you know that there is ONE mistake that nearly every doctor makes?

A mistake that is negatively impacting YOUR health.

A mistake that needs to be addressed and corrected.

What is the mistake?

You'll have to listen to the episode :)

However, here's a hint:

The mistake we talk about is not related to something your doctor is "doing."

It's related to something your doctor is NOT doing.

Something he/she should start doing immediately!

Something that, once corrected, will help improve your overall health and well-being.

Give this episode a good listen as what you learn will empower you in your health care journey.

Also, be sure to share it with a friend… and your doctor!

Thanks!

Episode 22:18 The Most Important Hour Of The Day

Ask someone to list some "habits" of healthy people and you'll probably get the following answers:

1) They exercise regularly.

2) They eat right.

3) They take supplements (ideally "whole food" ones).

4) They drink a lot of water.

5) They get adequate amount of sun exposure.

6) They get 7-9 hours of sleep each day.

7) They manage stress well.

All, of course, ARE healthy habits! However, there is ONE that is missing from the list.

A habit that is seldom talked about… yet most healthy people incorporate into their day.

That habit is:

Having a morning routine.

That is, most healthy people spend the first hour (or more) of their day engaging in some kind of routine.

A routine that "sets the tone" for their day.

On this episode we discuss WHY spending the first hour of your day in some type of healthy routine is extremely beneficial.

Specifically, we talk about the physical and emotional benefits of morning routines and how they can play a huge role in improving a person's health… and behavior!

We also share our personal morning routines and the difference it makes in our lives.

As always, we suggest you give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

Episode 22:17 Overweight? It's Not Your Fault - Part Two Of Our Interview With Anedra Brown

Regular listeners of this podcast are familiar with Anedra Brown's incredible health journey… a journey that has seen her lose over 150lbs in less than two years. In this episode Anedra shares how a statement made by Coach Sam Shelton on Episode 22-11 had a huge impact on her life. Specifically, Coach Sam said that for many people being overweight is NOT their fault. The REAL culprit is that they haven't been taught HOW to be healthy… especially with regard to diet and nutrition. Hearing this literally brought tears to Anedra's eyes as it brought back some painful memories. Memories of people thinking that she was a glutton who did nothing but eat all day. This, of course, was NOT true. Anedra didn't overeat… she simply didn't know what foods she should eat. In addition, she was unaware of the other lifestyle factors needed to "Get Healthy." Fortunately, all of that changed two years ago. Changes we talked about in last week's episode (22-16). In THIS episode Anedra talks about how she wants to use what she has learned along her journey to help others. How she wants to prevent others from being misinformed - and uninformed - like she once was.

Specifically, Anedra discusses: - The KEY hormone behind weight gain… and what you can do to combat it. - The "pleasure" neurotransmitter that causes people to become addicted to the wrong foods. - Her journey into becoming a "not so typical" fitness instructor. - The simple rules she follows when it comes to her diet. - The (bad) food she recently ate that caused her face to swell up like a balloon. Give this episode a good listen and then share it with your family and friends. Thanks!

Episode 22:16 Anedra Brown's Secret For Losing 150lbs!!!

Two years ago if someone told Anedra Brown that she would become a fitness instructor AND that she would use her platform to organize a fundraiser in her community she would have told them they were crazy! You see, back then Anedra lived with chronic pain… and chronic fatigue. Simple activities such as walking around the house hurt. In addition, she was always exhausted… even after getting eight hours of sleep. To make matters worse, her emotions were a mess… causing her to burst into tears for no apparent reason. All in all, she wasn't in a good place. Then, something changed. She found help in a program. NOT a weight loss program but a "Get Healthy" program. A program she committed to stick to (and still follows today). A program that has helped her lose over 150lbs! More importantly, a program that has helped her regain the health she thought was gone forever. A program built around these five simple strategies: 1) Eliminate food sensitivities 2) Take three core supplements 3) Exercise 4) Overcome emotional "blocks" 5) Educate yourself -------

Now, regarding Anedra's "secret": There is no secret! No drugs. No surgeries. No pills, potions, or meal replacements. Just a solid commitment to implementing the strategies above. Strategies that have been proven to improve a person's health. (Losing a bunch of weight along the way is a just a wonderful "side-effect.") Listen to her story. It will inspire you… and educate you! Then share it with a friend. Thanks!

Episode 22:15 Giving Birth Just Three Minutes After Entering The Hospital… And Other Amazing Health Stories

On this special episode of the podcast Dr. George Burroughs talks about the amazing birthing experience his daughter Brooklynn recently had and how Chiropractic care may have played a vital role.

He then goes on to share some of the most fascinating cases he has dealt with over his thirty-two years in practice including:

- Correcting BetyLou's granddaughter's "cross-eye."

- A "miracle" adjustment that not only led to a touchdown in a college football game, it impressed a team of medical physicians.

- The resolution of a 12 year-old girl's headaches that had neurologists baffled… and her mother in disbelief.

- A patient whose PERFECT spinal alignment did NOT come from an adjustment.

We're confident you'll find this episode both entertaining and informative.

Episode 22:14 How To Say "No" To Neck, Back… And Gallbladder Surgery Each year there are approximately 50 million surgeries performed in the United States.

Some, of course, are necessary.

Others are not.

The question becomes, "How do you know?"

That is, HOW do you know if a surgery that has been recommended for you is actually necessary?

On this week's episode we look at three individuals who asked themselves that same question.

Three individuals who looked, and FOUND, natural solutions for their arm pain, leg pain, and gallbladder problems.

In addition, we discuss the ONE dietary change that caused a young man's chronic knee pain to virtually disappear.

(It will shock you!)

Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
