The Blonde & The Bald

Bringing a child into this world is one of the most fulfilling things a couple can do, and yet there are so many pitfalls when being pregnant, including getting pregnant! With many couples starting later in life to start a family, there are things you need to do to improve your health (both mother & father) to have a good experience. Chiropractic care can help with that. Whether you’re just getting started or further along in your pregnancy, we cover it in this episode so you can bring that new life into this world as easy as possible!

One of the central tenets of Chiropractic is that you can heal your body without drugs. Another central tenet of health care in modern society is consent for medication. But did you know that you are being given a medication that you likely did not consent to? And it’s not as effective as it’s reported. That’s fluoride for you. One of the four Halide ions on our periodic table, and it doesn’t help that three of them can disrupt your normal health. Join Drs. Frederick Schurger and Beth Bagley discuss the science of fluoride and ways to improve your dental health and overall health without it.

In chiropractic, adaptability is the name of the game. Everything we do as humans is adapting to our environment, and when we fail to adapt, things go bad. Bad could be neck, back, or knee pain. Or bad could be cancer. After reviewing this episode, everything we talked about this day concerned failures to adapt, from TBI, gaining weight, dementia & of course cancer. Learn how walking helps you adapt and check out the Sprint 8 routine below! Concerns about the new weight loss drug semaglutide are shared. We also discuss simple tests to see if a loved one has issues with dementia. And what episode of TBTB wouldn’t be complete with some talk about food?!?!?

One of the most poorly understood ideas in health is how we focus on recovery. We briefly talk about how we need to take time to recover whether it be from an adjustment or a workout to restore our health to normal. Then we discuss the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect and a recent article that came out saying protein is bad for you, followed up by our debunk of the article so you can choose better proteins!

We apologize for the non-extravaganza episode, but knowing how important it is to get a vacation in may also require knowing how to get adjusted when traveling on the road to get the most out of your trip! We cover terms like listings, subluxation, neural structural shift & more in this episode as Dr. Beth Bagley recounts how bad she was feeling while on vacation. Luckily, she knew where to get adjusted!

And yes, many of our patients plan their trips knowing there's a Blair doctor nearby! Check the link below to find one for your next vacation hotspot!!

Ready for more Blair chiropractic stories and rabbit holes? In this episode, the docs talk about different cases that they've seen recently including trigeminal neuralgia hydrocephalus and other things. We also get into discussing how you might have received a situation that is completely different than how it was presented to you. This is one of our concerns when we are presenting to a patient to try to keep everything that we share as simple as possible because when we get confused about something, it can really make things worse for all involved. Kudos to you if you're listening to this while walking! And we wrap things up talking about meditation & breathing exercises you can start today.

The modern medical and food industry has demonized salt as the thing that is going to destroy your kidneys and raise your blood pressure as well as other health issues.
