people love the notion of holistic health and others thinks that it's
pseudoscience so we're gonna talk about what it really is and how it really
works so holistic health has nothing to do with burning incense or waving
crystals or wearing strange clothing or moving into a cave holistic health
simply means that you address all of the person you address all of the factors
that influence health so first we have to understand what is the body and what
is it that affects the body so if you ask a physicist what the body is he'll
say well you know it consists of matter and matter is the same thing as energy
and energy gives rise to vibration and vibration has frequencies and Nikola
Tesla said if you want to find the secrets to the universe think in terms
of energy frequency and vibration because if the entire universe is energy
frequency and vibration then so are we and we have to start thinking of the
body more in those terms everything that is alive has the ability to process
signals or information from a little bacterium or an amoeba to more complex
beings like humans we all have the ability to process signals that is what
makes us alive so a human brain is one of the most complex things ever devised
it has the ability to process billions of bits of information per second and it
receives about 1 billion bits of information per second and for every bit
it receives its going to turn something on or it's going to turn some
something off the sum total of all of that is called regulation and when
regulation works then we find ourselves in a state of homeostasis which is the
same thing as health so then we want to understand what are those different
signals what are those different pieces of information so there are three main
categories and in chiropractic we talked about for a very long time that there's
a triangle or a triad of health and there's a chemical side to us there's a
physical mechanical side to us and there's an emotional thinking side to us
and every one of those is equally important we can't just work on one
because then that triangle could get lopsided or lose a side altogether so
just think about this for a second we all know that movement creates signals
and we get more energized if we stand up and do some jumping jacks
then we feel more energized we also know that we can eat something that makes us
feel good or we can eat something that makes us feel bad there's good and a bad
side to all of these aspects so nutrition proper nutrition is the good
side toxic nutrition would be a bad aspect of the chemical side as far as
emotion we also know that you could think something you could have an
emotional response to the thought and you could feel really tense and your
blood pressure could jump 50 points so all of these things change physiology
they change your health so movement chemical nutrition etc and thoughts
they're all equally important so if they can affect you if they can cause stress
then they can change your health and then that something that we need to
address so that's what holistic health is that we don't just look at one thing
we understand how the body works we understand what
impact health and then we look at all of those aspects we look at the whole we
treat the whole patient there's nothing mystical there's nothing
strange it's just an understanding of how the body really works and we address
all of it so we don't leave anything out and that is the only way that you're
going to return the body to health or maintain the body at an optimum level of
health is through holistic health is by understanding what the body is what
impacts it and by carefully learning and understanding what those factors are and
how to develop a lifestyle so that you can optimize all those so if you have
something about your health that you'd like to change or if you know someone
who has some health challenges please share this information with them share
it with as many people as possible because the more people that find out
what health is and how the body works the more we can help people stop
