EP 37: History and Health Benefits of CBD
The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
Unfortunately, there is so much misinformation and myth when it comes to CBD. Most people only have a vague idea of what it is and they immediately have it connected with marijuana. So they're thinking about stoners, smoking pot to get high. Only a few people realize that CBD is different than that. But they're still pretty unsure about what all the fuss is about it. So on today's episode we're going to discuss the potential health benefits of industrial hemp-derived cannabidiol or CBD. It is a rich history and there are amazing potential health benefits from understanding this...

EP 36: What's Causing Your Gut Issues?
The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
Just about every day in clinical practice I have the opportunity to teach patients about the role their digestive system plays in the grand scheme of their health. Of course, when a patient is coming in for a typical digestive complaint, like bloating, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea, that is an obvious connection. But when the person is coming in with skin problems, fatigue, stubborn weight issues, depression, or brain fog, they are often surprised that our discussion quickly turns to the state of affairs in their guts. In this week's podcast episode, I dive into a very critical...

The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a corporate executive, an entrepreneur, or a homeschooling mom.

EP 31 Chiropractic: 10 Things You Need to Know
The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
When I first started chiropractic practice nearly 28 years ago, I noticed that there were a lot of people who didn’t really know much about chiropractic. Since then, the average person seems to know quite a bit more about what I do but I’m still surprised that chiropractic is still so misunderstood. It appears that there are a bunch of myths surrounding chiropractic care that continues to linger around year after year almost as part of the collective unconscious of the population. In an effort to really help you understand how chiropractic differentiates itself from other types of health...

EP 30: Your Optimal Morning Routine
The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
One of our favorite ways to maintain a good foundation is by establishing a set routine in the morning and the evening. What you do in the first 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes sets you up for a successful and productive day and a restful night. Your morning routine starts you off in the right direction each new day and your evening routine puts the events of the day at rest. Although we may not feel like we have 100% control of these hours at all times, they certainly are more predictable than what happens during the rest of our waking hours. Today I am going to focus on...

What is Red Light Therapy?
The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
One of the most powerful ways that our natural environment is designed to influence the body is through the effect of natural light. Of course, there is no way life could exist on this planet without the presence of our sun. The sun’s light is essential to life and it turns out that each part of the sun’s electromagnetic spectrum has a part to play. The latest light wavelength to gain popular press has been red light and near-infrared light and for good reason. Currently, there are over 3,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies that highlight the positive impact of these wavelengths of light....

EP 28: Spring Cleaning Your Health
The Simple 7 Lifestyle Podcast
Every year about this time, the telltale signs of spring start to emerge and remind us that the long winter is over and we can look forward to getting back to many of our outdoor activities. If you’re like me, you’re probably noticing that your yard and garden need a bit of attention. After being buried in snow like we’ve had this year in Utah, Tammie and I are excited to clean up the outside of our home, clean the garage floor from all of the dirt and grime from melting snow and salt from our cars, and put away the snow shovels and snow blower. It’s a nice rite of passage of the...
info_outlineWe all prefer to be happy. Our most important job as an organism is to stay alive. In order to do that, we have evolved to find positive feelings when we do things that help us survive and negative emotions when we feel threatened. All mammals have these basic instincts and the wiring necessary to create environments that support this desire.
Viewed through this lens, we are all “self-medicating” all day long. We are making decisions that are geared towards creating more happy brain chemicals than unhappy ones. These chemicals aren’t supposed to be on all the time but we are wired to remember what worked last time so that we can do it again next time. If there is a positive survival value to the behavior, our brains want to know that. We also want to know the behaviors that have negative survival value so that we can avoid those.
