Health Talk with Dr. Kell

In last week’s Podcast, episode #3, we discussed the biggest insecurities that prevent people from changing to a healthy lifestyle. We talked about ways to overcome your self-doubt and establish healthy routines. 

On today’s show, episode #4, we are discussing the biggest false belief about time and money spent on a healthy lifestyle, why most people have these thoughts, what the truth is about it, and how we can minimize the amount of time and money spent. 

Organic foods are more expensive than chemically processed foods, it’s true, if you are looking at price to price comparison. But what most people fail to look at are the doctor bills over your lifetime, prescription medicines, and the time spent dealing with poor health outcomes and time off work for recovery from surgeries. 

When you take care of yourself with daily healthy choices, you reap the benefits of a higher quality of life with your family. Less time at the doctor, less money on surgeries, and more time and energy to pursue what you love.

Isn’t that what we all want?

In last week’s Podcast, episode #2, we talked about how Dr. Kell made changes to his life by lifting weights and cutting back on junk food. He encouraged us to make that decision for ourselves based on how we feel, talked about what pitfalls to avoid and how to transition smoothly into the benefits of clearer thinking, a positive mindset, less pain, better moods and greater success and happiness in life. 

On today’s episode, we are diving into the biggest insecurities that prevent people from changing to a healthy lifestyle. 

Insecurity – we all feel it at times, that voice of self-doubt telling us we are not good enough to do something. We compare ourselves to others on television and social media, wondering when our perfect health will show up; we want to push the easy button. We procrastinate making healthy changes because we are afraid we won’t be able to accomplish what we set out to do. 

But eventually our health declines if we don’t take care of it. Dr. Kell says, “most of us don’t think about our health until we don’t have it”. He wants to help us establish a healthy routine, to get us through dieting to the maintenance phase, where we can overcome self-doubt and be confident and healthy in our lifestyle. 

“Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change”

What is health?

Well, that depends on who you ask. Some would define it as the absence of illness or injury, and others would say it is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.

From the time we are little, we are taught to exercise and eat healthy. But often, the emotional part is forgotten. In fact, we are told not to cry, training us to suppress our emotions from an early age. We don’t realize how ignoring our emotions can contribute to addictions and sickness.

We often need help from a therapist, nutritionist, or other specialist to unlearn these behaviors. Sometimes it takes that extra nudge, guidance, and love from a person who can coach us and train us to reprogram our inner beliefs, because health is where the physical, emotional, and nutritional parts of us intersect. We all have them, and we can all heal them. 

In our first episode we learned about Aha moments and how they influence our health and lifestyle. They help us to recognize when we have an issue and teach us what shifts we can make in our lives. 

In today’s episode, #2,  we will be talking about implementing this new way of life, how our health improves with it, what pitfalls to avoid, and what benefits we can expect, such as clear thinking, less pain, better moods, and greater success and happiness.

Aha moments – those moments of sudden insight or discovery. We’ve all had them, and often, they are preceded by challenging situations. They change us and move us forward in positive ways. It’s like we’re stumbling into a secret world of knowledge. 

How did we not know this before? How come no one told us that we had the power to heal ourselves? 

We’ve been gently nudged toward healthy living all our lives, but it usually takes a health crisis to smack us in the face, so we slow down enough to reflect and learn. We press pause on our busyness to stop and think about what we need to change. 

The light bulb hits, aha moment sinks in, and our lives are better for it. We try to pass along the secret information to others, so they don’t have to suffer like we did. It only seems right. These lessons are to be shared, so let’s talk about them. 

On today’s show, we’re learning about Dr. Kell’s life and how his aha moments influenced his path to health and wellness. He wants to help us recognize when we have an issue and teach us what we can do about it.

Welcome everybody and thanks for joining us on “Health Talk with Dr. Kell”. I’m your host, Niki Sterner, and today I want to talk about why we’re doing this podcast. I know I’m not the only one out there who has a sensitive body that needs a healthy lifestyle. 

We are the canaries in the coal mine. We get sicker quicker from chemicals in our lives. We need clean food, clean air, clean water, and clean products. We’re sensitive souls that need to express our emotions and not suppress them. We suffer when our lives are out of balance. We’ve had chronic pain and fatigue that others may know nothing about. 

When I first walked into Dr. Kell’s office, I was relieved to find someone who had similar holistic views of health. It’s nice when we don’t feel the need to defend ourselves or our beliefs. We don’t want to censor our words to fit in, which we often feel like we must do. It’s nice to be understood and accepted, not just tolerated. We like learning about things we can implement into our lives, that will keep us feeling well and living life how we want to. Life on our terms, unafraid and empowered.  

Today we are going to hear from Dr. Kell about who he is and what this podcast will be about. He is a Chiropractic Doctor, Nutritionist, and Hypnotherapist. He has a degree in Aerospace Science, and he cares about people, their health, and the environment. He’s been practicing for over 30 years and wants to help us understand the triad of health in his office: physical, emotional, and nutritional. He is a mentor, healer, and friend who believes that health is a big part of happiness.
