Speaker 1 (00:00):
And reverse disease, overcome common health obstacles, and live to
your fullest God given potential. This is Maximized Living Radio
with Doctor Greg O'Neil Healthcare on a mission sponsored by
Lynnits Family Chiropractic.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
All right, guys, welcome back to another show, Doctor Greg
O'Neil Maximized Living Radio. Yeah. Today, I'm going to be
talking about going to the next level with your health,
basically leveling up. The thought process here is that many
times we think we're in a good spot, or maybe
we think we're in a bad spot. Wherever you think
you're at, you're think about like a video game. You're
(00:41):
on a certain level. So what we want to do
is move to the next level. It's a progression because
your health similar to a video game, especially the old
school video games, or there was like never an end
something like Tetris. It's a journey, it's not a destination.
Un Fortunately, there's not just like an end point. Well
(01:02):
there's the endpoint called death, but I mean like no
one's handing you a trophy at some point saying like
you're healthy now. So there's certain games like when I
think of video games, I think of like Super Mario
Brothers or like the different Mario iterations, and you know
there's a world, there's they're called the levels, and at
the end you're hand in the trophy or there's fireworks,
(01:24):
or there's you jump on the little flag or whatever,
and you complete each level. But I wish Health work
like that because you would see, like, Okay, I know
where I'm at, I know which level I'm at. Think
of it more like Tetris, where the more that you
go and progress kind of the harder that it gets.
And I wouldn't even say the harder that it gets,
(01:45):
it's just the more skill you have to have to
move to that next level and see progression. Now, I'm
not going to hang out on the video game analogy
too much because I might lose some people. But what
I'm getting at here is that you have to improve
your skills, your skill set, and what you're doing in
order to get to those next levels. So let's back
(02:07):
it up to Health. Now. Comparison is the thief of
joy I've been I've been teaching us my kids lately,
my oldest son, who's nine years old. I think they
get to that age where at third grade you start
to like see where you're at in the world, like
maybe your social status, I know personally, that's that's probably
(02:27):
about the time that I started doing that when I
was younger. You know, kindergarten, first grade, and for the
most part even second grade is just about like fun
and learning and everyone's your friend. And by third grade
people start to branch off into their little friend groups
and clicks and you know, sports, and you start to
see kind of like where you're at socially, and the
(02:50):
mistake that kids can make, or that we've all can
make or probably do make, not even can is we
start to compare. Now it's not just kids, it's adults.
You know, your your neighbor gets a new car, your
neighbor gets a pool, your neighbor, you know, people get
all these different things, and you think that, oh, in
order to be happy, I need to do that. So
(03:12):
one of my favorite quotes is comparison is the thief
of joy, because if you're always comparing yourself to others,
either looking down on someone else or looking up at
someone else, you're judging yourself. And when you judge yourself,
you know that goes against a couple of biblical rules.
But you're there's only one judge and it and it
(03:35):
creates creates a big problem in your life, and we've
all done it. Now. I'm not going to say the
word comparison, but I'm going to say when you look
around and you look at others, you can kind of
see where you're at. Okay, you can. You can understand
where I'm at compared to normal, or where I should
be with my health. This isn't about being like someone else.
(03:57):
This isn't about being better than someone else or being
worse than someone else. But it's about looking at different
metrics and seeing where you should be based on how
the human body works. That's I want to make that
delineation there because it's really important. So some easy ways
to look at this would be your weight, Like, okay,
I want to lose five pounds, ten pounds, fifteen pounds
(04:18):
to get to a certain weight so that I feel good,
so that I can put pants on and they're not tight,
I can put a dress on. It feels good for
women that I can you go for a walk without
you know, huffing and puffing, that my knees don't hurt,
that my back doesn't hurt, that I'm not in pain.
These are all things. These are all these metrics that
(04:38):
we can compare ourselves to and where we want to go.
The issue is, though, is that we can get obsessed
with the results. You can get obsessed with the results
and not work on the skill. So getting back to
the to the video game analogy, imagine I'm playing the
game Tetris, and the game, as the levels go on,
it starts to get harder. I can get frustrated at
(04:59):
the game. I can I think the game is wrong
or not fair, but in reality, I need to improve
my skill in order to pass that level. So many
of you listening right now, you need to focus on
the skill, not on the result. And this is this
is basically what I do all day long as a chiropractor,
is that I'm teaching people this one simple aspect of life.
(05:24):
Because people come into my office and they're in pain,
they're in you know, overweight or whatever they have going
on the symptoms that they're dealing with. Okay, so they're
they're at point A. You're where you're at now, and
you want to get to where what your goals are.
You want to get to point B. And then there's
(05:44):
this like middle ground that's uncomfortable that no one wants
to walk over, and my job is to help people
walk through that. Now, for many some people, it can
be an easy process. Maybe they've walked through that before.
I've lost twenty pounds before, or I've gone to a
chiropractor before, I've done this before, or you know, I've
(06:05):
maybe in business or at work or in sport. I've
had a goal, I've worked on that goal, I've achieved
that goal, so I can do this thing. It's the
mindset for people that need to get over Now. Some people,
they can be so stuck on the level that they're at.
They're in so much pain, I've been dealing with so
much that it almost becomes part of their identity, part
(06:26):
of who they are, and they start wondering things like
can I ever change? Will I ever change? Ten things
get better for me? Can my body heal? And when
that becomes the story that's in your head and you
replay that over and over and over again, that's when
you get into trouble, big trouble, because that's when you
move into areas of self sabotage, of not being able to,
(06:50):
you know, just just do the simple, little daily things,
because it becomes a mental battle on mental crime. Now,
you can have moments of that, and we've all had
moments of that, but when that becomes your day to
day mental speak, your the story that you tell yourself. Yeah,
that's where you don't want to you don't want to
go there. So I just had this conversation with someone
yesterday and they finished the sentence. They like got it.
(07:13):
It was like a Eureka moment. It's this patient I've
been seeing a little bit. And she was really focused
on the results. You know, when is my neck going
to feel better? When is my back going to feel better?
And she started naming all of the good things that
good things that she's doing. She's like, well, you know,
I've been walking more, I've been doing my spinal exercises,
I'm making my adjustments. It's starting to feel better. It's
(07:35):
not perfect, but things are starting to improve. I've been
eating better, and I've been really focused on the exercise,
like she said, And I said, well, it sounds like
you have all the ingredients there. And I was about
to finish my sentence. She goes, I guess I just
need to stop focusing on the result and focus what
I need to be doing and the result will come.
I'm like, yes, that that's it. Okay. So think of
(08:00):
your health like a cake. Think of it like a
healthy cake. And you have the ingredients, okay, you want
to eat well, you want to exercise, you know, getting
chiropractic adjustments, You're taking care of your spine, You're rehabbing
different areas your body that could be hurt. You're getting
out toxins in your body or toxins in your home
or of your household cleaners. So basically, these five essentials
(08:23):
of health that I talk about. You want to learn
more about the five essentials hop on our website. It's
lit its Family Chiropractic dot com. So five essentials are
your mindset, your spinal alignment, your nervous system, exercise, minimizing toxins,
and then your nutrition. And when you add those together,
it's like putting the ingredients or the batter together. And
(08:47):
then the last step is that it takes time. Just
like you take that cake and you have all the
ingredients and you put it in the oven. Now you
need to wait and you need to allow that process
to take hold in your life and in your body.
And I miss you, just as the flowers will grow
and you plant the seeds and you take care of them,
it will happen. It will happen. It's just whether or
(09:08):
not you continue to be patient and continue to be
persistent and consistent in the efforts that you're making. So
after the break, we're talking about making these new efforts.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
They tune poor yourself, a coffee will pour, the use
use RADIOHP five eighty.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
America has a shortage of skilled trades people the low.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Start leveling up with your health and how when you
start making changes, that's the progression, and you start to
notice differences and how you feel. But then the further
along you go, the more skills you have to develop
to change your health. It'd be like, you know, let's
use golf as an analogy. Okay, so someone who's never
(09:51):
golf before, they're a beginner, and at first it's it's
a little tough, it's a little awkward. Obviously, you're you
don't even know what to swing, so you're just you're
learning how to just make contact with the ball. You're
not worrying about where the ball is really going. It's
just about getting a swing, making contact, you know, repeat, repeat, repeat,
(10:12):
So if someone was the golf coach or giving a
golf lesson, it's like, don't even worry about where the
ball is going. Just try to make contact, swing through
the ball, you know, keep your head down, here's your grip.
That kind of thing. And that's like when when people
first start in chiropractic and they're like someone comes in,
they've never been adjusted before, and they're like, what what
(10:33):
should I notice like with the adjustment, And depending where
they're at, Like someone comes in maybe their first adjustment
is at sixty years old. Now they might have thirty
or forty years of degeneration in their spine. They have
all kinds of different things going on. I'm like, listen, like,
right now, the focus is on let's get your first
adjustment in. Let's get you moving a little better. And
(10:55):
over time we'll focus on these symptoms going away because
they've been there a long time. It's going to take time.
There's just there's a reality to that. Now you get
someone who similar to Gaulf, the younger they can start,
you know, they start at eight years old or nine
years old or ten years old. Yeah, they're going to
learn very quickly, okay, and they're they're gonna rebound very
(11:17):
quickly and that there's this small learning curve. Similarly, when
we adjust people who are younger, you know, people in
their adolescence, even like Toddler's my wife who's a chiropractor
takes care of babies. You see adjustments affect their health
their symptoms very quickly. If not in the first adjustment,
maybe visits two or three, you notice a big change
(11:40):
in the progression of their health. So they're able to
quote unquote level up very quickly. And so wherever you're at,
you know, when someone comes in you're you're at a
certain level and you have there's there's got to be
like a recognition of that that you don't want to
have false pretenses where whatever doctor you happen to go
to or whatever nutritional program or weight loss program, people
(12:04):
got to be real with you and be like, Okay,
this is the reality of the situation. Here's where you're
at now. And this is the tough part for people
because the human ego moves into denial very quickly. It's
one of the classic it's one of the classic like
defense mechanisms of the mind of the ego especially is denial.
(12:27):
So denial is like I would say, okay, your postures off,
and some people are just like, oh no, it's not
I had a patient just yesterday. Now looking at them,
I know before I do the test, So I do
what I call what's called a range of motion tests.
You have people go down, touch your toes without bending
your knees, turn your your head one way or the other,
lean your head one way or the other, start moving
(12:50):
around your body. Now, this guy, it was funny because like,
I'll go ahead and touch your toes. Now, some people
go down and touch your toes. They can't or some
people can. And then I put a score of what
degree they went to. And this gentleman that I saw,
he spent a good ten to fifteen seconds almost forcing
(13:10):
himself to try to touch his toes. I'm like, listen, man,
I know where you're at. I've seen this before. He
had a good laugh. And you can't trick the test, Okay,
you can't fool where you're at. This is like going
on the scale. You can't do like a little dance
and then all of a sudden, the scale is going
to change when you step on it. There's realities of
(13:30):
the situation. We have to face those realities, and sometimes
it can be hard and then we want to face
the reality and then face what it's going to take
to correct it, face the plan. And this is something
that people also want to avoid. And again I'm going
to use that weight loss as an analogy, because the
(13:50):
vast majority of people know what it would take for
them to lose weight, and they just flat out don't
want to do it or think that it's too hard
and not Trust me. I've been there. I think I'm
there right now a little bit with a few areas
of my mouth, especially weight and things like that. There's
this five to ten pounds that I'd like to just lose,
(14:11):
or five to eight pounds, but the things that I
know I need to do to do it, maybe my
mind is not wanting me to do it, or my ego,
I should say, is not wanting me to do it.
But you got to face that down. And then the
next thing is just taking those steps and continuing to
take those steps without allowing frustration to build in too much. Now,
I can build in some and that some of that
(14:33):
is kind of normal or expected, but when it builds
in too much, then you get yourself into trouble as well,
and that gets into that self sabotage. So let's just
tell this into a story. So I have a patient
of mine who I've been seeing, and her name is Jerry.
Jerry has a family member that actually listens to this
show out of Canada. So hello, and yeah, she's been
(14:55):
a patient of mine for just over a month, about
maybe six weeks, and she's been making huge changes with
her health. Now you would look at her and already
see her. She's in her later fifties, she's a avid runner,
she works in healthcare. Very sharp individual, very smart individual.
You would look at her and be like, wow, she's
like healthy, She's got a lot of things going for her,
(15:19):
and she does. She's put a lot of energy and
time into her health. But the missing ingredient for her
was the essential of the nervous system or spinal alignment
chiropractic care. But she was dealing with severe lower back pain,
pain into the lateral five so like the it bands,
just like general stiffness and soreness, and then as we
(15:41):
went through range emotion and all the different testing also
into her neck as well. Now what happens is if
you leave these things go, it doesn't. It's these health
concerns don't just happen in a vacuum. Like they don't
just happen in one area. It starts to creep out
into other areas that most people don't think about. They
just see them as separate issues. So one of the
(16:02):
big ones is you're sleep if you're in pain, and
like Jerry, if you're dealing with lower back pain and
hit pain and you go to lay on your back
or lay on your side or unconsciously move in the
middle of the night, you can be woken up by
pain and that can inhibit your body's ability to just
fully relax and get into that good quality feeling sleep
(16:28):
that your body so sorely means. And so for her,
she was waking up sometimes, if not every half an hour,
every hour, every couple of hours, so she was having
interrupted sleep. Now started getting her adjustments. Almost within the
first couple of adjustments, start to notice big changes. She's
able to run more without pain, able to walk without pain,
(16:50):
able to go through the day without as much back pain.
But just now we're six weeks in, so it's as
time goes by, you could almost look at her again
as just as any individual and and many people do this.
When I go to the car practor Okay, the pain
starts to go away, and they're like, thanks, Doc, I
appreciate it. I'm good now. They might have only moved
(17:13):
up a level or two or three, right, and they're
feeling better and they're just satisfied with that small change.
But what I challenge people with is I challenge people
to dig deep on the goals that they have where
they want to go. So, for example, when someone comes in,
I'm like, what are your goals coming here? They're like,
I want the pain gone. I'm like, okay, great, what
(17:34):
does that look like in your life? Because I don't
know what that means for you. I want to see
you as an individual person. I want to treat you
as an individual person. So when I write down goals,
I don't just want to say pain gone. That's kind
of boring, right. You could just go swallow a bunch
of pills and your pain is gone. What's that going
to do in your life? People like, okay, well, I'd
(17:54):
be able to garden without pain, I'd be able to
get up out of a chair. I'd be able to
to sit down and have dinner with my wife without
my back hurting. Some people have told me you know
in church when I go, I can't even like fit
to stand. So when I go to stand during the
worship songs, I can't do that or I'm an excruciating pain.
(18:15):
So I love these like specific goals because then we
can get really measurable with them because when those things
start to change and you notice them, we're like, oh, oh,
there we go. We're seeing some changes happening here. So
for Jerry, not only did she want to be able
to run without pain, but her goal was also to
be able to sleep better as well. And I can
tell you just that the lasses that I saw just
(18:36):
yesterday and I had this discussion with her for a
few minutes and we were talking about I asked her
if I could share her story in the radio. She's
like absolutely. She was able to sleep or it was
six six to six and a half hours complete through
the night, which for her was a huge deal because
she was getting up sometimes every hour or more in
(18:57):
pain and she was able to sleep a full six hours.
And she's just like, Greg, I cannot tell you how
much of a difference in my life that makes. I'm like, well,
I can only imagine, like I know, for me, the
only like comparable for that for me is like the
kids are older now and they're not waking up in
the middle of the night crying like the crying baby
and all that kind of stuff. And I can tell you,
(19:19):
like since that you sleep a lot better as a parent.
But I've never been woken up like in rising pain
and all that, so I can only imagine how that feels.
But that's such a cool story. And many of you
listening to this right now, it's like the pain that
you're dealing with, or the health problem that you're dealing with,
it's not just that specific thing, Like it's not just
the back pain, it's not just the headache, not just
(19:42):
the neck pain. It's how it's interfering with the quality
of your life. And that's why you want to get
it corrected, so that it's not just the pain going away.
It's that you can start reclaiming different areas of your
life and start to improve in other facets of your
life instead of giving them up. I can't tell you
the number of people my heart breaks for people when
(20:03):
they're like, well, I stopped gardening, I stopped playing pickle ball,
I stop golfing, I stop going for walks with my wife.
I stopped going for runs. Like people just stop. They stop,
they stop, and then they wonder why. They tell themselves, Oh,
I'm getting old now, I'm feeling old. Now I'm not
able to do X, Y and Z. It's like, yeah,
(20:24):
because you gave it up, you stop doing it. You
gave up at level ten and then move back down
to level five. You just gave up level six, seven, eight,
eight nine. Does that make sense with the video game
analogy that I'm saying. What I'm getting at is this
is that you've got to see where you're at, because
some of you listening, you're like, I don't even know
where I'm at right now. And this is where coming
(20:45):
into my office, getting a specific evaluation, specific examination, and
even taking any necessary X rays, I'm able to tell
you where you're at now and how we're going to
get to where you want to go to, how we're
going to get back to quote unquote normal or to
a better state of your spinal health so that your
body can better function and you can feel better and
(21:08):
you can start to do the things that you're maybe
not doing now. So if you'd like to give our
office a call seven one seven, six two seven zero, three,
six five, Stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Use that moves, opinions that matter. WHP five eighty.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Hi. I'm Katie from Long Yeah. Today I'm talking about
leveling up, going to the next level with your health.
I'm let you use some video game analogies. I have
a nine year old at my house. You can imagine
video games are a pretty pretty big thing. I always
like we what we do is because at that age,
(21:48):
you know, my son is similar to me. He gets
very passionate, very focused. My wife would say the word
obsessed about a certain thing. You know, when he was younger,
it was dinosaurs. Everything was about Dina or whether it
was Mario or Minecraft or you know, when you put
you was playing hockey, it was about hockey. Like it
just just goes all in and that's great, That's an
(22:11):
awesome that's an awesome skill set to have, are an
awesome passion to have because there's not a lot of
passionate people out there. And that's one thing that I'm
really wanting to foster with my kids is that if
you really enjoy something, you're passionate about it, you go
for it because you don't want to just be this
kind of zombie as the younger kids would say an NPC,
(22:32):
which NPC means non player character. You want to be
the main character in your life. You don't want to
be a secondary character. You don't want to be a
behind the scenes character. You want to be the main character.
You want to be the one calling the shots. You
want to be the one leading, uh, leading your own life,
driving your own car, steering your own ship, so to speak. Now,
(22:53):
from a biblical standpoint, obviously we follow, you know, the
servant leadership of Jesus Christ, and our kids go to
Christian school, and that's very important. But when it comes
to health, when it comes to health, it is important
to pray. But the way that God designed your body
is you're designed to make decisions, you have free will,
(23:15):
and you're designed to be in the driver's seat. Like
you're I'm using the analogy of the video game here.
Many of you, you're all playing this game called life,
this game called health, and many of you don't even
know where the controller is, Like imagine you're playing, Like
I keep thinking of the game I guess of my
childhood would have been a Super Mario World on Super Nintendo,
(23:39):
and it's it's a difficult game. It'd be very difficult
if I had the controller unplugged. It'd be more difficult
if I didn't know where the controller was. It'd be
more difficult if I didn't have a TV or the
or the game console on. Does that make sense. You've
got to be in that front seat, You've got to
have your hands on the steering wheel. And I can't
tell you the number of people. Well, and you're listening
(24:00):
right now. You're not You're not doing that. You're just
waking up. You're just meandering through the day, swallowing a
bunch of pills, not taking care of yourself at all,
not even thinking about the food that you're eating, not
even thinking about it, just eating whatever would you eat.
I don't even like I asked people what did you
for breakfast? Or what I forget? Like people don't even know.
(24:23):
I'm like, what the heck? Sometimes you know, isn't it funny? Though?
Like sometimes I'm like, man, I wish I could I
could do that in a way, like just kind of
shut my brain off. And I'm not saying that everyone
has their brain shut off and I'm the only one
that's not. I'm not I'm not saying that I'm not
that ignorant, I don't think. But I remember growing up
(24:44):
and I grew up on the Saint Lawrence River, small
town in eastern Ontario, Canada, kind of near the Thousand Islands,
about fifty miles east of the Thousand Islands. Saint Lawrence
River very beautiful, very scenic, and our town had to
it's really nice dock area. And I remember I've walked
down there sometimes and you'd see people just sitting in
(25:07):
their car airing at the water. So like I would
go rollerblading, or i'd go for a run or a
walk or whatever with my dog at the time, and
I'd come back, said, come back through that area like
a half hour later, an hour later, and the same
person is just sitting there, sitting in the car, just
looking at the water. And I'm like, man, I always thought,
(25:28):
because I always had to be moving and doing something
and you know, keeping my body moving, I'm like, it'd
be kind of nice just to do that, just being still.
And that's important. That's the skill that I don't have
as much. That's one that I need to work on.
That therea is that I need to level up in
my health. What am I getting at here is that Okay,
it's good to be still, it's good to just you know,
(25:49):
kind of lay back and relax and all that good stuff.
But then in other areas of your life, in other
areas of health, you have to start playing the game,
and you can't just it on easy mode all the time.
Going back to my video game analogy when I was younger,
one thing that my son is very good at compared
to me with video games is he will play the
(26:11):
hardest levels, like he will go through the whole game,
and if he's stuck on a level, he just keep
doing it and doing it and doing it, and he
doesn't even really get that frustrated, like maybe a little bit,
but not really. And here I was back thirty years ago,
I would just be playing the same level all the
time because I'd be too nervous or afraid to go
to the hard level because I knew I couldn't pass,
and you I couldn't lose, and there's no winning that
(26:33):
comes with that. There was no winning that comes with that.
And I say to my son Michael all the time,
and I'm like Mike, like, you're way better than I
was at this because you're willing to do the hard
level he's like, what do you mean. I'm like, I
don't know. I would just play levels one, the first
world of Super Mario, and I wouldn't even go to
the next one. He's like, why that's boring. I'm like, yeah,
it is so many of you right now in your
(26:55):
health you're doing that same thing over and over and
over again. In the words of my solf On, that's boring.
We've got to stop playing on easy mode. So like
your comfort comfort, eating comfort foods, you know, watching comfort shows,
just doing the easy things, like we all need that sometimes,
but I'm talking about people who do it most of
(27:17):
the time or all the time. That's kind of like
the tutorial level of health growth comes and playing the
real game. So a lot of people that are living
their whole life like they want to avoid discomfort, get
the challenge, look for a shortcut. That's the big one.
So we talk about avoiding discomfort, getting the challenge. I'm
not doing that. That's too difficult, that's too much money,
(27:38):
that's too much this that's the ego talking, by the way.
And then here's the other one. Is because you can
avoid the discomfort, you can skip the challenge and then
guess who's there to offer you the shortcut? The medical world,
here you go. And if you don't believe me, just
turn on any radio, turn on any television, go on
the internet. Every other ad is a drug commercial. And
(28:01):
what they're telling you is you're fine just the way
that you are. Take this pill, and you will improve
your health without changing anything else. And they'll say things
like talk to your doctor, ask your doctor, or when
diet and exercise aren't enough, take this pill. What they
should say is if you're too lazy to do diet
and exercise, or you don't want to do diet and exercise,
(28:23):
and you just want to take this pill, then take
it and take the shortcut, and really listen to all
of the side effects. I should not even say side effects,
it's direct effects, or I should say all of the
consequences of taking the shortcut, because when you take the
shortcut in life, there's always always a bill to pay.
(28:46):
And that bill to pay will come now or it
will come later, but it will come do one way
or the other. So look at the world of these
peptide injections, those semi glue tide injects for things like that,
how do these work? While they go in your body,
and they essentially mimic a hormone in your body that
tells you that you're full, that you don't need to eat,
(29:09):
so you don't eat. So what are you doing? You're
starving yourself. Is that good for you? No, it's not.
And the people that I know that are on these
injections for weight loss, straight up, they don't look good.
You don't look healthy. You look emaciated, like people look
gray in the face, their face looks sunken in, they
(29:31):
look like they haven't eaten. They don't look good. They're
not like full of energy and pep. They look like
they're losing weight. And then their friends may say, oh,
my goodness, you're losing weight yay, or your clothes are
fitting better. And then that same person I know someone
personally had five gallbladder attacks from being on these peptide injections,
(29:52):
five gallbladder attacks and still do it. I'm like, oh
my gosh, But it's just that's how committed some people
are to the shortcut. Now I get it. Some people
are like, well, you don't know I was dealing with
I have to lose the weight quickly because of X
y Z A B C this Listen. You can tell
yourself all what you want. You can use every excuse
in the book. That's fine, don't tell it to me,
(30:14):
tell it to yourself. But at some point, whether you
do this stuff or you don't, whether it works for
you or it doesn't, you know, look around, look at
the side effects. You know it speaks for itself. At
some point you've got to pick up the controller and
you got to start playing the game of health, not
just looking for a shortcut. You can unlook the next
(30:35):
level doing the same moves from the last one. That's
another good point I wanted to share is that people
want to move to the next level. You want to
lose weight, you want to feel better. Do you start
doing these things that you've been doing. But if you
keep doing what you're doing, then you're going to keep
getting what you're getting. So you got to do something different.
So you got to take on a harder challenge. You've
(30:55):
got to face resistance. You got to do the reps
so to speak, of the exercise or the food whatever
that you don't feel like doing. And that's where that
resistance comes in. That I was talking about earlier. When
patients will come in and they're maybe they're on visits three,
four and five something like that, because I'll recommend a
(31:15):
certain number of adjustments, and then when they're just getting started,
people like, I don't know if this is working. I'm
not sure about this. People are just unsure because they're
facing that resistance. Now, where does that resistance come from?
It comes from the flesh, It comes from your body.
This comes from a spiritual level as well as a
physical and neurochemical level. Is that your body will resist change.
(31:39):
We are creatures of habit. We like to be in
a certain groove. We like to do the things that
we do on an ongoing basis. We basically think the
same thoughts every day. We eat the same foods every day,
we drive in the same car, we drive to the
same places, we do the same things. Where creatures of habit.
When we move out of that, when we move out
of that, sometimes that and feel good. There's certainty the
(32:03):
things you want to do and know what are going
to happen. Then there's uncertainty, and your body wants a
bit of both. That's why it's nice, like, Okay, you
go through your routines and then you want a little uncertainty.
You go on vacation and do something completely different, go
to a new place, stay in a new bed, all
that kind of stuff, and it feels good for a
period of time, but then eventually your body is like, Oh,
(32:26):
I can't wait to get home, get my own bed,
get my own routine. You want certainty again. So what
you want to do is is you want to make
the new changes certain You want to make the new
changes your new normal. And the way that you do
that is through repetition, by doing it over and over again,
and that becomes a new normal for you. So stay tuned.

six two seven zero three sixty five. Today I've been
talking about going to the next level with your health
or as the young kids say, leveling up, improving, let
(35:37):
a level up in all areas. So here's kind of
the the tricky part, or maybe the frustrating part, or
maybe the freeing part, is that there's no final level
with your health. Now there's the finality, I guess of
the game over of death, not really game over, it's
just the next the next game, right, that's a whole
(36:01):
other topic. But there's no final level of like, Okay,
you made it, Congratulations, you're healthy. Now you get a
little trophy, get your picture taken. Well. Who No, doesn't happen.
That doesn't happen anywhere in life. You know what is
that called a rival syndrome? Something like that. You go
through Let's see you go through school as an example,
like for me, go through undergrad went to chiropractic school.
(36:26):
I was an associate for about a year and a half,
open my own practice here in litits. You build your
practice up, you get to a certain level of your
goals and metrics, everything like that. Just like anyone who's
opened a business. At some point, it does the mayor
show up with a trophy and fireworks. Congratulations you did it. No, No,
(36:48):
one does that. So you get healthy, Now your job
is to maintain it. You build a business, now your
job is delete it. You correct your energy in your body,
Now your job is to maximize it. You get married,
Now your job is to work on it. Right, there's
no like endpoint. Marriage is probably the best example. There's
(37:11):
no end point where your marriage is in a perfect place.
I mean, get ask my wife that, kiddy. Now, it's
never Your marriage is never in a perfect place, no
matter how much you work on it. Like there's things
are always in flux, right, Things are always changing, Things
are dynamic. We're human beings. But it's amazing to me
(37:33):
how people still look at things like weight loss or
exercise or chiropractic care and they think that there's some endpoint.
And some people will decide their own endpoint and they're
just like, yeah, I'm good, thank you very much for
your help. I'm just going to go back to how
I was living before, and I'm like, it hurts my brain. Now.
I don't deal with this near as much. I don't
(37:55):
even know if I have these conversations much. But in
my first couple of years of practice, you know, I'm
more in inexperience probably wasn't the best at leading and
all that kind of stuff. Just didn't have as much experience,
and so a lot of people like you get a
few adjustments and like, oh, I'm feeling better, thanks Doc,
I'll see you when it hurts again. And I'm like,
wait a minute, like that's not how this works. But
(38:17):
maybe I didn't explain it or communicate it or teach
it properly. So people do something different, like going to
get adjusted or eating healthier. They get the result that
they want, they're happy with that result. Then to celebrate,
they go back to the old way that they were living.
Then that person gets frustrated that their health results change
(38:41):
and things get worse for them again, and then they're like,
well that didn't work. They start blaming whatever activities they
were doing. Doesn't that seem like when you really like
say it out loud like that, when you go through
the logical steps of that, doesn't it just like literally
does not make sense. But yet people including those listening
and right now, you're doing that like all the time
(39:02):
with your health. You eat really healthy, like say for
two weeks or even a month, then you go back
to how you're reading before gain the weight back, lose
the energy that you had, get worse sleep. Then you
get frustrated and you say things like, well, that doesn't work,
that doesn't work. I should say this. People say that
(39:23):
doesn't work for me. What I usually say is in
a very nice way. Maybe it's not that it doesn't
work for you. Maybe it's not that you didn't work
for it, that you're not working for yourself. You can't
just give up and expect that things are going to
stay the same. It just it does not work like that. Like,
imagine being married and then you just stop communicating, stop
(39:48):
talking about the issues. You know, like, how's that going
to work? How long would that last? With my wife?
It wouldn't last like till twelve pm. She'd be like,
what the heck is wrong with you? Why aren't you
talking to me? You know, what's your problem? Like, it's
just not going to work. So, like I get married,
my life is now changed. I have children. My life
(40:09):
has now changed, my responsibilities, what my actions are are
expected to be. I can't go back to them living
like I lived when I was a bachelor or before
I had kids. I can't say like, oh the babies crying,
Oh I don't want to deal with that. Right now,
I'm busy. I want to go watch TV or watch
the hockey game. When I was younger, I just watched
(40:30):
the hockey game the whole way through. Like, well, congratulations,
you're not twenty two years old anymore. You're married and
three kids. There's responsibilities, like I can't just go out
and golf anytime I want to do that. I have
to make a plan, all right. So, using that same
analogy with your health, things change as you go. So
(40:51):
many times people are looking in the rear view mirror.
They're trying to drive looking in the rear view mirror.
When the wind shield is ten times bigger, you have
to look in the wind shield. Because people will say
things like, well, when I was younger, when I was
in high school, i'd lose weight, no problem. When I
was younger, I could lose weight Quickly'd say, well, of
course you didn't have your life has changed. You're at
(41:12):
a different level now, Like what were you doing back then?
It's like, okay, well, I slept at my parents' house.
I didn't have any bills, I didn't have any stress,
I didn't have anything else anyone to take care of
other than myself. And I barely did that. Things are different.
And I see this a lot with young parents, and
(41:32):
I guess I'm still kind of a young parent, but
not really. My kids are like nine, six and four,
so I definitely have some experience under my belt. But
I see this a lot with dads, moms and dads
who just have kids and their life starts to change
and it gets a little harder with the schedule for
them to take care of themselves. And that's where I
really commend people who when life changes and life gets
(41:55):
busier and life gets full, they continue to make it
work with their health. And that's what I as I
close out the show here in the next couple of minutes,
is that as life changes, as life progresses, you don't
want to wait for things to get easier for you
to start pushing in more and to start making those changes.
So what do I mean by that is like, Okay,
(42:17):
your life can be full with kids or sports or
work or all these different responsibilities, and the human nature
thing to do would just be to offload or unload
doing things that take up your time. So what takes
up your time, well, exercise, food preparation, grocery shopping, you know,
(42:39):
maybe gardening, doing those those healthy steps for your health.
It's easier just to fall into convenience items, ordering out food,
going to the restaurant, fast food as examples, not exercising,
just you know, skipping at that day or the next day.
And then little by little your health gets chipped the
(43:00):
way at Maybe you start to gain weight, maybe you're
sitting too much, you start to get back pain, maybe
you're on a computer too much, start to get net pain.
And then little by little, these things start to accumulate
in your body. And the first thing people do is, well,
I guess that's just the way things are now. Maybe
it's just because I'm getting older. I'm not in my
twenties anymore, not my thirties anymore. This is just what happens,
(43:24):
because I see so many other people deal with this.
And that's the biggest mistake is that when you excuse
yourself from making change, when you excuse yourself from making
a plan to make change, I should say, that's when
you get yourself into trouble, and these issues start to
accelerate very very quickly. So the opposite thing that you
(43:44):
want to do is you want to say, hey, here's
where I'm at now in my life. Here's the reality
of the situation. Here's my schedule for the week. Here's
the things that I have to do, whether it's school
pickups or whether it's going to work, or the obligations
that you have to do. Okay, so what do you do? Well,
You've got to work around it. Maybe you have to
work out in the morning, maybe in the evening, maybe
(44:06):
a meal prep on the weekends. You make it work
so that you get the health that you need to get.
So all it takes is realizing where you're at now,
realizing or thinking of where you want to go. And
then there's that middle ground having the plan to do it,
and some of you are like, I don't even know
where to start. That's fine. That's where there's people like me.
(44:28):
I'm a chiropractor. I'd consider myself a health coach as
well to help you formulate that plan to go from
point A to point B. Give us a call. I'm
willing to help. Signing off doctor greg O'Neil, have a
great week.

with Doctor Greg O'Neil Healthcare on a mission sponsored by
Lynnits Family Chiropractic.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
All right, guys, welcome back to another show, Doctor Greg
O'Neil Maximized Living Radio. Yeah. Today, I'm going to be
talking about going to the next level with your health,
basically leveling up. The thought process here is that many
times we think we're in a good spot, or maybe
we think we're in a bad spot. Wherever you think
you're at, you're think about like a video game. You're
(00:41):
on a certain level. So what we want to do
is move to the next level. It's a progression because
your health similar to a video game, especially the old
school video games, or there was like never an end
something like Tetris. It's a journey, it's not a destination.
Un Fortunately, there's not just like an end point. Well
(01:02):
there's the endpoint called death, but I mean like no
one's handing you a trophy at some point saying like
you're healthy now. So there's certain games like when I
think of video games, I think of like Super Mario
Brothers or like the different Mario iterations, and you know
there's a world, there's they're called the levels, and at
the end you're hand in the trophy or there's fireworks,
(01:24):
or there's you jump on the little flag or whatever,
and you complete each level. But I wish Health work
like that because you would see, like, Okay, I know
where I'm at, I know which level I'm at. Think
of it more like Tetris, where the more that you
go and progress kind of the harder that it gets.
And I wouldn't even say the harder that it gets,
(01:45):
it's just the more skill you have to have to
move to that next level and see progression. Now, I'm
not going to hang out on the video game analogy
too much because I might lose some people. But what
I'm getting at here is that you have to improve
your skills, your skill set, and what you're doing in
order to get to those next levels. So let's back
(02:07):
it up to Health. Now. Comparison is the thief of
joy I've been I've been teaching us my kids lately,
my oldest son, who's nine years old. I think they
get to that age where at third grade you start
to like see where you're at in the world, like
maybe your social status, I know personally, that's that's probably
(02:27):
about the time that I started doing that when I
was younger. You know, kindergarten, first grade, and for the
most part even second grade is just about like fun
and learning and everyone's your friend. And by third grade
people start to branch off into their little friend groups
and clicks and you know, sports, and you start to
see kind of like where you're at socially, and the
(02:50):
mistake that kids can make, or that we've all can
make or probably do make, not even can is we
start to compare. Now it's not just kids, it's adults.
You know, your your neighbor gets a new car, your
neighbor gets a pool, your neighbor, you know, people get
all these different things, and you think that, oh, in
order to be happy, I need to do that. So
(03:12):
one of my favorite quotes is comparison is the thief
of joy, because if you're always comparing yourself to others,
either looking down on someone else or looking up at
someone else, you're judging yourself. And when you judge yourself,
you know that goes against a couple of biblical rules.
But you're there's only one judge and it and it
(03:35):
creates creates a big problem in your life, and we've
all done it. Now. I'm not going to say the
word comparison, but I'm going to say when you look
around and you look at others, you can kind of
see where you're at. Okay, you can. You can understand
where I'm at compared to normal, or where I should
be with my health. This isn't about being like someone else.
(03:57):
This isn't about being better than someone else or being
worse than someone else. But it's about looking at different
metrics and seeing where you should be based on how
the human body works. That's I want to make that
delineation there because it's really important. So some easy ways
to look at this would be your weight, Like, okay,
I want to lose five pounds, ten pounds, fifteen pounds
(04:18):
to get to a certain weight so that I feel good,
so that I can put pants on and they're not tight,
I can put a dress on. It feels good for
women that I can you go for a walk without
you know, huffing and puffing, that my knees don't hurt,
that my back doesn't hurt, that I'm not in pain.
These are all things. These are all these metrics that
(04:38):
we can compare ourselves to and where we want to go.
The issue is, though, is that we can get obsessed
with the results. You can get obsessed with the results
and not work on the skill. So getting back to
the to the video game analogy, imagine I'm playing the
game Tetris, and the game, as the levels go on,
it starts to get harder. I can get frustrated at
(04:59):
the game. I can I think the game is wrong
or not fair, but in reality, I need to improve
my skill in order to pass that level. So many
of you listening right now, you need to focus on
the skill, not on the result. And this is this
is basically what I do all day long as a chiropractor,
is that I'm teaching people this one simple aspect of life.
(05:24):
Because people come into my office and they're in pain,
they're in you know, overweight or whatever they have going
on the symptoms that they're dealing with. Okay, so they're
they're at point A. You're where you're at now, and
you want to get to where what your goals are.
You want to get to point B. And then there's
(05:44):
this like middle ground that's uncomfortable that no one wants
to walk over, and my job is to help people
walk through that. Now, for many some people, it can
be an easy process. Maybe they've walked through that before.
I've lost twenty pounds before, or I've gone to a
chiropractor before, I've done this before, or you know, I've
(06:05):
maybe in business or at work or in sport. I've
had a goal, I've worked on that goal, I've achieved
that goal, so I can do this thing. It's the
mindset for people that need to get over Now. Some people,
they can be so stuck on the level that they're at.
They're in so much pain, I've been dealing with so
much that it almost becomes part of their identity, part
(06:26):
of who they are, and they start wondering things like
can I ever change? Will I ever change? Ten things
get better for me? Can my body heal? And when
that becomes the story that's in your head and you
replay that over and over and over again, that's when
you get into trouble, big trouble, because that's when you
move into areas of self sabotage, of not being able to,
(06:50):
you know, just just do the simple, little daily things,
because it becomes a mental battle on mental crime. Now,
you can have moments of that, and we've all had
moments of that, but when that becomes your day to
day mental speak, your the story that you tell yourself. Yeah,
that's where you don't want to you don't want to
go there. So I just had this conversation with someone
yesterday and they finished the sentence. They like got it.
(07:13):
It was like a Eureka moment. It's this patient I've
been seeing a little bit. And she was really focused
on the results. You know, when is my neck going
to feel better? When is my back going to feel better?
And she started naming all of the good things that
good things that she's doing. She's like, well, you know,
I've been walking more, I've been doing my spinal exercises,
I'm making my adjustments. It's starting to feel better. It's
(07:35):
not perfect, but things are starting to improve. I've been
eating better, and I've been really focused on the exercise,
like she said, And I said, well, it sounds like
you have all the ingredients there. And I was about
to finish my sentence. She goes, I guess I just
need to stop focusing on the result and focus what
I need to be doing and the result will come.
I'm like, yes, that that's it. Okay. So think of
(08:00):
your health like a cake. Think of it like a
healthy cake. And you have the ingredients, okay, you want
to eat well, you want to exercise, you know, getting
chiropractic adjustments, You're taking care of your spine, You're rehabbing
different areas your body that could be hurt. You're getting
out toxins in your body or toxins in your home
or of your household cleaners. So basically, these five essentials
(08:23):
of health that I talk about. You want to learn
more about the five essentials hop on our website. It's
lit its Family Chiropractic dot com. So five essentials are
your mindset, your spinal alignment, your nervous system, exercise, minimizing toxins,
and then your nutrition. And when you add those together,
it's like putting the ingredients or the batter together. And
(08:47):
then the last step is that it takes time. Just
like you take that cake and you have all the
ingredients and you put it in the oven. Now you
need to wait and you need to allow that process
to take hold in your life and in your body.
And I miss you, just as the flowers will grow
and you plant the seeds and you take care of them,
it will happen. It will happen. It's just whether or
(09:08):
not you continue to be patient and continue to be
persistent and consistent in the efforts that you're making. So
after the break, we're talking about making these new efforts.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
They tune poor yourself, a coffee will pour, the use
use RADIOHP five eighty.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
America has a shortage of skilled trades people the low.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Start leveling up with your health and how when you
start making changes, that's the progression, and you start to
notice differences and how you feel. But then the further
along you go, the more skills you have to develop
to change your health. It'd be like, you know, let's
use golf as an analogy. Okay, so someone who's never
(09:51):
golf before, they're a beginner, and at first it's it's
a little tough, it's a little awkward. Obviously, you're you
don't even know what to swing, so you're just you're
learning how to just make contact with the ball. You're
not worrying about where the ball is really going. It's
just about getting a swing, making contact, you know, repeat, repeat, repeat,
(10:12):
So if someone was the golf coach or giving a
golf lesson, it's like, don't even worry about where the
ball is going. Just try to make contact, swing through
the ball, you know, keep your head down, here's your grip.
That kind of thing. And that's like when when people
first start in chiropractic and they're like someone comes in,
they've never been adjusted before, and they're like, what what
(10:33):
should I notice like with the adjustment, And depending where
they're at, Like someone comes in maybe their first adjustment
is at sixty years old. Now they might have thirty
or forty years of degeneration in their spine. They have
all kinds of different things going on. I'm like, listen, like,
right now, the focus is on let's get your first
adjustment in. Let's get you moving a little better. And
(10:55):
over time we'll focus on these symptoms going away because
they've been there a long time. It's going to take time.
There's just there's a reality to that. Now you get
someone who similar to Gaulf, the younger they can start,
you know, they start at eight years old or nine
years old or ten years old. Yeah, they're going to
learn very quickly, okay, and they're they're gonna rebound very
(11:17):
quickly and that there's this small learning curve. Similarly, when
we adjust people who are younger, you know, people in
their adolescence, even like Toddler's my wife who's a chiropractor
takes care of babies. You see adjustments affect their health
their symptoms very quickly. If not in the first adjustment,
maybe visits two or three, you notice a big change
(11:40):
in the progression of their health. So they're able to
quote unquote level up very quickly. And so wherever you're at,
you know, when someone comes in you're you're at a
certain level and you have there's there's got to be
like a recognition of that that you don't want to
have false pretenses where whatever doctor you happen to go
to or whatever nutritional program or weight loss program, people
(12:04):
got to be real with you and be like, Okay,
this is the reality of the situation. Here's where you're
at now. And this is the tough part for people
because the human ego moves into denial very quickly. It's
one of the classic it's one of the classic like
defense mechanisms of the mind of the ego especially is denial.
(12:27):
So denial is like I would say, okay, your postures off,
and some people are just like, oh no, it's not
I had a patient just yesterday. Now looking at them,
I know before I do the test, So I do
what I call what's called a range of motion tests.
You have people go down, touch your toes without bending
your knees, turn your your head one way or the other,
lean your head one way or the other, start moving
(12:50):
around your body. Now, this guy, it was funny because like,
I'll go ahead and touch your toes. Now, some people
go down and touch your toes. They can't or some
people can. And then I put a score of what
degree they went to. And this gentleman that I saw,
he spent a good ten to fifteen seconds almost forcing
(13:10):
himself to try to touch his toes. I'm like, listen, man,
I know where you're at. I've seen this before. He
had a good laugh. And you can't trick the test, Okay,
you can't fool where you're at. This is like going
on the scale. You can't do like a little dance
and then all of a sudden, the scale is going
to change when you step on it. There's realities of
(13:30):
the situation. We have to face those realities, and sometimes
it can be hard and then we want to face
the reality and then face what it's going to take
to correct it, face the plan. And this is something
that people also want to avoid. And again I'm going
to use that weight loss as an analogy, because the
(13:50):
vast majority of people know what it would take for
them to lose weight, and they just flat out don't
want to do it or think that it's too hard
and not Trust me. I've been there. I think I'm
there right now a little bit with a few areas
of my mouth, especially weight and things like that. There's
this five to ten pounds that I'd like to just lose,
(14:11):
or five to eight pounds, but the things that I
know I need to do to do it, maybe my
mind is not wanting me to do it, or my ego,
I should say, is not wanting me to do it.
But you got to face that down. And then the
next thing is just taking those steps and continuing to
take those steps without allowing frustration to build in too much. Now,
I can build in some and that some of that
(14:33):
is kind of normal or expected, but when it builds
in too much, then you get yourself into trouble as well,
and that gets into that self sabotage. So let's just
tell this into a story. So I have a patient
of mine who I've been seeing, and her name is Jerry.
Jerry has a family member that actually listens to this
show out of Canada. So hello, and yeah, she's been
(14:55):
a patient of mine for just over a month, about
maybe six weeks, and she's been making huge changes with
her health. Now you would look at her and already
see her. She's in her later fifties, she's a avid runner,
she works in healthcare. Very sharp individual, very smart individual.
You would look at her and be like, wow, she's
like healthy, She's got a lot of things going for her,
(15:19):
and she does. She's put a lot of energy and
time into her health. But the missing ingredient for her
was the essential of the nervous system or spinal alignment
chiropractic care. But she was dealing with severe lower back pain,
pain into the lateral five so like the it bands,
just like general stiffness and soreness, and then as we
(15:41):
went through range emotion and all the different testing also
into her neck as well. Now what happens is if
you leave these things go, it doesn't. It's these health
concerns don't just happen in a vacuum. Like they don't
just happen in one area. It starts to creep out
into other areas that most people don't think about. They
just see them as separate issues. So one of the
(16:02):
big ones is you're sleep if you're in pain, and
like Jerry, if you're dealing with lower back pain and
hit pain and you go to lay on your back
or lay on your side or unconsciously move in the
middle of the night, you can be woken up by
pain and that can inhibit your body's ability to just
fully relax and get into that good quality feeling sleep
(16:28):
that your body so sorely means. And so for her,
she was waking up sometimes, if not every half an hour,
every hour, every couple of hours, so she was having
interrupted sleep. Now started getting her adjustments. Almost within the
first couple of adjustments, start to notice big changes. She's
able to run more without pain, able to walk without pain,
(16:50):
able to go through the day without as much back pain.
But just now we're six weeks in, so it's as
time goes by, you could almost look at her again
as just as any individual and and many people do this.
When I go to the car practor Okay, the pain
starts to go away, and they're like, thanks, Doc, I
appreciate it. I'm good now. They might have only moved
(17:13):
up a level or two or three, right, and they're
feeling better and they're just satisfied with that small change.
But what I challenge people with is I challenge people
to dig deep on the goals that they have where
they want to go. So, for example, when someone comes in,
I'm like, what are your goals coming here? They're like,
I want the pain gone. I'm like, okay, great, what
(17:34):
does that look like in your life? Because I don't
know what that means for you. I want to see
you as an individual person. I want to treat you
as an individual person. So when I write down goals,
I don't just want to say pain gone. That's kind
of boring, right. You could just go swallow a bunch
of pills and your pain is gone. What's that going
to do in your life? People like, okay, well, I'd
(17:54):
be able to garden without pain, I'd be able to
get up out of a chair. I'd be able to
to sit down and have dinner with my wife without
my back hurting. Some people have told me you know
in church when I go, I can't even like fit
to stand. So when I go to stand during the
worship songs, I can't do that or I'm an excruciating pain.
(18:15):
So I love these like specific goals because then we
can get really measurable with them because when those things
start to change and you notice them, we're like, oh, oh,
there we go. We're seeing some changes happening here. So
for Jerry, not only did she want to be able
to run without pain, but her goal was also to
be able to sleep better as well. And I can
tell you just that the lasses that I saw just
(18:36):
yesterday and I had this discussion with her for a
few minutes and we were talking about I asked her
if I could share her story in the radio. She's
like absolutely. She was able to sleep or it was
six six to six and a half hours complete through
the night, which for her was a huge deal because
she was getting up sometimes every hour or more in
(18:57):
pain and she was able to sleep a full six hours.
And she's just like, Greg, I cannot tell you how
much of a difference in my life that makes. I'm like, well,
I can only imagine, like I know, for me, the
only like comparable for that for me is like the
kids are older now and they're not waking up in
the middle of the night crying like the crying baby
and all that kind of stuff. And I can tell you,
(19:19):
like since that you sleep a lot better as a parent.
But I've never been woken up like in rising pain
and all that, so I can only imagine how that feels.
But that's such a cool story. And many of you
listening to this right now, it's like the pain that
you're dealing with, or the health problem that you're dealing with,
it's not just that specific thing, Like it's not just
the back pain, it's not just the headache, not just
(19:42):
the neck pain. It's how it's interfering with the quality
of your life. And that's why you want to get
it corrected, so that it's not just the pain going away.
It's that you can start reclaiming different areas of your
life and start to improve in other facets of your
life instead of giving them up. I can't tell you
the number of people my heart breaks for people when
(20:03):
they're like, well, I stopped gardening, I stopped playing pickle ball,
I stop golfing, I stop going for walks with my wife.
I stopped going for runs. Like people just stop. They stop,
they stop, and then they wonder why. They tell themselves, Oh,
I'm getting old now, I'm feeling old. Now I'm not
able to do X, Y and Z. It's like, yeah,
(20:24):
because you gave it up, you stop doing it. You
gave up at level ten and then move back down
to level five. You just gave up level six, seven, eight,
eight nine. Does that make sense with the video game
analogy that I'm saying. What I'm getting at is this
is that you've got to see where you're at, because
some of you listening, you're like, I don't even know
where I'm at right now. And this is where coming
(20:45):
into my office, getting a specific evaluation, specific examination, and
even taking any necessary X rays, I'm able to tell
you where you're at now and how we're going to
get to where you want to go to, how we're
going to get back to quote unquote normal or to
a better state of your spinal health so that your
body can better function and you can feel better and
(21:08):
you can start to do the things that you're maybe
not doing now. So if you'd like to give our
office a call seven one seven, six two seven zero, three,
six five, Stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Use that moves, opinions that matter. WHP five eighty.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Hi. I'm Katie from Long Yeah. Today I'm talking about
leveling up, going to the next level with your health.
I'm let you use some video game analogies. I have
a nine year old at my house. You can imagine
video games are a pretty pretty big thing. I always
like we what we do is because at that age,
(21:48):
you know, my son is similar to me. He gets
very passionate, very focused. My wife would say the word
obsessed about a certain thing. You know, when he was younger,
it was dinosaurs. Everything was about Dina or whether it
was Mario or Minecraft or you know, when you put
you was playing hockey, it was about hockey. Like it
just just goes all in and that's great, That's an
(22:11):
awesome that's an awesome skill set to have, are an
awesome passion to have because there's not a lot of
passionate people out there. And that's one thing that I'm
really wanting to foster with my kids is that if
you really enjoy something, you're passionate about it, you go
for it because you don't want to just be this
kind of zombie as the younger kids would say an NPC,
(22:32):
which NPC means non player character. You want to be
the main character in your life. You don't want to
be a secondary character. You don't want to be a
behind the scenes character. You want to be the main character.
You want to be the one calling the shots. You
want to be the one leading, uh, leading your own life,
driving your own car, steering your own ship, so to speak. Now,
(22:53):
from a biblical standpoint, obviously we follow, you know, the
servant leadership of Jesus Christ, and our kids go to
Christian school, and that's very important. But when it comes
to health, when it comes to health, it is important
to pray. But the way that God designed your body
is you're designed to make decisions, you have free will,
(23:15):
and you're designed to be in the driver's seat. Like
you're I'm using the analogy of the video game here.
Many of you, you're all playing this game called life,
this game called health, and many of you don't even
know where the controller is, Like imagine you're playing, Like
I keep thinking of the game I guess of my
childhood would have been a Super Mario World on Super Nintendo,
(23:39):
and it's it's a difficult game. It'd be very difficult
if I had the controller unplugged. It'd be more difficult
if I didn't know where the controller was. It'd be
more difficult if I didn't have a TV or the
or the game console on. Does that make sense. You've
got to be in that front seat, You've got to
have your hands on the steering wheel. And I can't
tell you the number of people. Well, and you're listening
(24:00):
right now. You're not You're not doing that. You're just
waking up. You're just meandering through the day, swallowing a
bunch of pills, not taking care of yourself at all,
not even thinking about the food that you're eating, not
even thinking about it, just eating whatever would you eat.
I don't even like I asked people what did you
for breakfast? Or what I forget? Like people don't even know.
(24:23):
I'm like, what the heck? Sometimes you know, isn't it funny? Though?
Like sometimes I'm like, man, I wish I could I
could do that in a way, like just kind of
shut my brain off. And I'm not saying that everyone
has their brain shut off and I'm the only one
that's not. I'm not I'm not saying that I'm not
that ignorant, I don't think. But I remember growing up
(24:44):
and I grew up on the Saint Lawrence River, small
town in eastern Ontario, Canada, kind of near the Thousand Islands,
about fifty miles east of the Thousand Islands. Saint Lawrence
River very beautiful, very scenic, and our town had to
it's really nice dock area. And I remember I've walked
down there sometimes and you'd see people just sitting in
(25:07):
their car airing at the water. So like I would
go rollerblading, or i'd go for a run or a
walk or whatever with my dog at the time, and
I'd come back, said, come back through that area like
a half hour later, an hour later, and the same
person is just sitting there, sitting in the car, just
looking at the water. And I'm like, man, I always thought,
(25:28):
because I always had to be moving and doing something
and you know, keeping my body moving, I'm like, it'd
be kind of nice just to do that, just being still.
And that's important. That's the skill that I don't have
as much. That's one that I need to work on.
That therea is that I need to level up in
my health. What am I getting at here is that Okay,
it's good to be still, it's good to just you know,
(25:49):
kind of lay back and relax and all that good stuff.
But then in other areas of your life, in other
areas of health, you have to start playing the game,
and you can't just it on easy mode all the time.
Going back to my video game analogy when I was younger,
one thing that my son is very good at compared
to me with video games is he will play the
(26:11):
hardest levels, like he will go through the whole game,
and if he's stuck on a level, he just keep
doing it and doing it and doing it, and he
doesn't even really get that frustrated, like maybe a little bit,
but not really. And here I was back thirty years ago,
I would just be playing the same level all the
time because I'd be too nervous or afraid to go
to the hard level because I knew I couldn't pass,
and you I couldn't lose, and there's no winning that
(26:33):
comes with that. There was no winning that comes with that.
And I say to my son Michael all the time,
and I'm like Mike, like, you're way better than I
was at this because you're willing to do the hard
level he's like, what do you mean. I'm like, I
don't know. I would just play levels one, the first
world of Super Mario, and I wouldn't even go to
the next one. He's like, why that's boring. I'm like, yeah,
it is so many of you right now in your
(26:55):
health you're doing that same thing over and over and
over again. In the words of my solf On, that's boring.
We've got to stop playing on easy mode. So like
your comfort comfort, eating comfort foods, you know, watching comfort shows,
just doing the easy things, like we all need that sometimes,
but I'm talking about people who do it most of
(27:17):
the time or all the time. That's kind of like
the tutorial level of health growth comes and playing the
real game. So a lot of people that are living
their whole life like they want to avoid discomfort, get
the challenge, look for a shortcut. That's the big one.
So we talk about avoiding discomfort, getting the challenge. I'm
not doing that. That's too difficult, that's too much money,
(27:38):
that's too much this that's the ego talking, by the way.
And then here's the other one. Is because you can
avoid the discomfort, you can skip the challenge and then
guess who's there to offer you the shortcut? The medical world,
here you go. And if you don't believe me, just
turn on any radio, turn on any television, go on
the internet. Every other ad is a drug commercial. And
(28:01):
what they're telling you is you're fine just the way
that you are. Take this pill, and you will improve
your health without changing anything else. And they'll say things
like talk to your doctor, ask your doctor, or when
diet and exercise aren't enough, take this pill. What they
should say is if you're too lazy to do diet
and exercise, or you don't want to do diet and exercise,
(28:23):
and you just want to take this pill, then take
it and take the shortcut, and really listen to all
of the side effects. I should not even say side effects,
it's direct effects, or I should say all of the
consequences of taking the shortcut, because when you take the
shortcut in life, there's always always a bill to pay.
(28:46):
And that bill to pay will come now or it
will come later, but it will come do one way
or the other. So look at the world of these
peptide injections, those semi glue tide injects for things like that,
how do these work? While they go in your body,
and they essentially mimic a hormone in your body that
tells you that you're full, that you don't need to eat,
(29:09):
so you don't eat. So what are you doing? You're
starving yourself. Is that good for you? No, it's not.
And the people that I know that are on these
injections for weight loss, straight up, they don't look good.
You don't look healthy. You look emaciated, like people look
gray in the face, their face looks sunken in, they
(29:31):
look like they haven't eaten. They don't look good. They're
not like full of energy and pep. They look like
they're losing weight. And then their friends may say, oh,
my goodness, you're losing weight yay, or your clothes are
fitting better. And then that same person I know someone
personally had five gallbladder attacks from being on these peptide injections,
(29:52):
five gallbladder attacks and still do it. I'm like, oh
my gosh, But it's just that's how committed some people
are to the shortcut. Now I get it. Some people
are like, well, you don't know I was dealing with
I have to lose the weight quickly because of X
y Z A B C this Listen. You can tell
yourself all what you want. You can use every excuse
in the book. That's fine, don't tell it to me,
(30:14):
tell it to yourself. But at some point, whether you
do this stuff or you don't, whether it works for
you or it doesn't, you know, look around, look at
the side effects. You know it speaks for itself. At
some point you've got to pick up the controller and
you got to start playing the game of health, not
just looking for a shortcut. You can unlook the next
(30:35):
level doing the same moves from the last one. That's
another good point I wanted to share is that people
want to move to the next level. You want to
lose weight, you want to feel better. Do you start
doing these things that you've been doing. But if you
keep doing what you're doing, then you're going to keep
getting what you're getting. So you got to do something different.
So you got to take on a harder challenge. You've
(30:55):
got to face resistance. You got to do the reps
so to speak, of the exercise or the food whatever
that you don't feel like doing. And that's where that
resistance comes in. That I was talking about earlier. When
patients will come in and they're maybe they're on visits three,
four and five something like that, because I'll recommend a
(31:15):
certain number of adjustments, and then when they're just getting started,
people like, I don't know if this is working. I'm
not sure about this. People are just unsure because they're
facing that resistance. Now, where does that resistance come from?
It comes from the flesh, It comes from your body.
This comes from a spiritual level as well as a
physical and neurochemical level. Is that your body will resist change.
(31:39):
We are creatures of habit. We like to be in
a certain groove. We like to do the things that
we do on an ongoing basis. We basically think the
same thoughts every day. We eat the same foods every day,
we drive in the same car, we drive to the
same places, we do the same things. Where creatures of habit.
When we move out of that, when we move out
of that, sometimes that and feel good. There's certainty the
(32:03):
things you want to do and know what are going
to happen. Then there's uncertainty, and your body wants a
bit of both. That's why it's nice, like, Okay, you
go through your routines and then you want a little uncertainty.
You go on vacation and do something completely different, go
to a new place, stay in a new bed, all
that kind of stuff, and it feels good for a
period of time, but then eventually your body is like, Oh,
(32:26):
I can't wait to get home, get my own bed,
get my own routine. You want certainty again. So what
you want to do is is you want to make
the new changes certain You want to make the new
changes your new normal. And the way that you do
that is through repetition, by doing it over and over again,
and that becomes a new normal for you. So stay tuned.

you get an email that shows you where we're located.
(34:29):
We're located in the beautiful town of Lititz. You'll get
paperwork you can fill it out digitally or you can
fill it out ahead of time at the office if
you come a little earlier, if you want to, you know,
if you're a paper and pen kind of person, we'll
review your paperwork with you. It's called a consultation, go
through an exam your posture, range of motion, help patient
of your spine, like feeling what's going on. And then
(34:52):
we also do any necessary X race in house. Normally
the total cost is one hundred and forty dollars. Do
you get fifty percent off, so it's just seventy dollars
your first visit. So by the following visit, we'll let
you know exactly what's going on. Okay, here's what's happening
with your spine. Here's how it relates to the symptoms
that you're dealing with. Here's how we're going to take
care of it. Here's how much it's going to cost.
(35:14):
Here's how much your insurance will or won't chip in.
It's a super simple process. So the hardest thing to
do is making that first step. So i'd recommend when
did anything else give our office call seven one seven
six two seven zero three sixty five. Today I've been
talking about going to the next level with your health
or as the young kids say, leveling up, improving, let
(35:37):
a level up in all areas. So here's kind of
the the tricky part, or maybe the frustrating part, or
maybe the freeing part, is that there's no final level
with your health. Now there's the finality, I guess of
the game over of death, not really game over, it's
just the next the next game, right, that's a whole
(36:01):
other topic. But there's no final level of like, Okay,
you made it, Congratulations, you're healthy. Now you get a
little trophy, get your picture taken. Well. Who No, doesn't happen.
That doesn't happen anywhere in life. You know what is
that called a rival syndrome? Something like that. You go
through Let's see you go through school as an example,
like for me, go through undergrad went to chiropractic school.
(36:26):
I was an associate for about a year and a half,
open my own practice here in litits. You build your
practice up, you get to a certain level of your
goals and metrics, everything like that. Just like anyone who's
opened a business. At some point, it does the mayor
show up with a trophy and fireworks. Congratulations you did it. No, No,
(36:48):
one does that. So you get healthy, Now your job
is to maintain it. You build a business, now your
job is delete it. You correct your energy in your body,
Now your job is to maximize it. You get married,
Now your job is to work on it. Right, there's
no like endpoint. Marriage is probably the best example. There's
(37:11):
no end point where your marriage is in a perfect place.
I mean, get ask my wife that, kiddy. Now, it's
never Your marriage is never in a perfect place, no
matter how much you work on it. Like there's things
are always in flux, right, Things are always changing, Things
are dynamic. We're human beings. But it's amazing to me
(37:33):
how people still look at things like weight loss or
exercise or chiropractic care and they think that there's some endpoint.
And some people will decide their own endpoint and they're
just like, yeah, I'm good, thank you very much for
your help. I'm just going to go back to how
I was living before, and I'm like, it hurts my brain. Now.
I don't deal with this near as much. I don't
(37:55):
even know if I have these conversations much. But in
my first couple of years of practice, you know, I'm
more in inexperience probably wasn't the best at leading and
all that kind of stuff. Just didn't have as much experience,
and so a lot of people like you get a
few adjustments and like, oh, I'm feeling better, thanks Doc,
I'll see you when it hurts again. And I'm like,
wait a minute, like that's not how this works. But
(38:17):
maybe I didn't explain it or communicate it or teach
it properly. So people do something different, like going to
get adjusted or eating healthier. They get the result that
they want, they're happy with that result. Then to celebrate,
they go back to the old way that they were living.
Then that person gets frustrated that their health results change
(38:41):
and things get worse for them again, and then they're like,
well that didn't work. They start blaming whatever activities they
were doing. Doesn't that seem like when you really like
say it out loud like that, when you go through
the logical steps of that, doesn't it just like literally
does not make sense. But yet people including those listening
and right now, you're doing that like all the time
(39:02):
with your health. You eat really healthy, like say for
two weeks or even a month, then you go back
to how you're reading before gain the weight back, lose
the energy that you had, get worse sleep. Then you
get frustrated and you say things like, well, that doesn't work,
that doesn't work. I should say this. People say that
(39:23):
doesn't work for me. What I usually say is in
a very nice way. Maybe it's not that it doesn't
work for you. Maybe it's not that you didn't work
for it, that you're not working for yourself. You can't
just give up and expect that things are going to
stay the same. It just it does not work like that. Like,
imagine being married and then you just stop communicating, stop
(39:48):
talking about the issues. You know, like, how's that going
to work? How long would that last? With my wife?
It wouldn't last like till twelve pm. She'd be like,
what the heck is wrong with you? Why aren't you
talking to me? You know, what's your problem? Like, it's
just not going to work. So, like I get married,
my life is now changed. I have children. My life
(40:09):
has now changed, my responsibilities, what my actions are are
expected to be. I can't go back to them living
like I lived when I was a bachelor or before
I had kids. I can't say like, oh the babies crying,
Oh I don't want to deal with that. Right now,
I'm busy. I want to go watch TV or watch
the hockey game. When I was younger, I just watched
(40:30):
the hockey game the whole way through. Like, well, congratulations,
you're not twenty two years old anymore. You're married and
three kids. There's responsibilities, like I can't just go out
and golf anytime I want to do that. I have
to make a plan, all right. So, using that same
analogy with your health, things change as you go. So
(40:51):
many times people are looking in the rear view mirror.
They're trying to drive looking in the rear view mirror.
When the wind shield is ten times bigger, you have
to look in the wind shield. Because people will say
things like, well, when I was younger, when I was
in high school, i'd lose weight, no problem. When I
was younger, I could lose weight Quickly'd say, well, of
course you didn't have your life has changed. You're at
(41:12):
a different level now, Like what were you doing back then?
It's like, okay, well, I slept at my parents' house.
I didn't have any bills, I didn't have any stress,
I didn't have anything else anyone to take care of
other than myself. And I barely did that. Things are different.
And I see this a lot with young parents, and
(41:32):
I guess I'm still kind of a young parent, but
not really. My kids are like nine, six and four,
so I definitely have some experience under my belt. But
I see this a lot with dads, moms and dads
who just have kids and their life starts to change
and it gets a little harder with the schedule for
them to take care of themselves. And that's where I
really commend people who when life changes and life gets
(41:55):
busier and life gets full, they continue to make it
work with their health. And that's what I as I
close out the show here in the next couple of minutes,
is that as life changes, as life progresses, you don't
want to wait for things to get easier for you
to start pushing in more and to start making those changes.
So what do I mean by that is like, Okay,
(42:17):
your life can be full with kids or sports or
work or all these different responsibilities, and the human nature
thing to do would just be to offload or unload
doing things that take up your time. So what takes
up your time, well, exercise, food preparation, grocery shopping, you know,
(42:39):
maybe gardening, doing those those healthy steps for your health.
It's easier just to fall into convenience items, ordering out food,
going to the restaurant, fast food as examples, not exercising,
just you know, skipping at that day or the next day.
And then little by little your health gets chipped the
(43:00):
way at Maybe you start to gain weight, maybe you're
sitting too much, you start to get back pain, maybe
you're on a computer too much, start to get net pain.
And then little by little, these things start to accumulate
in your body. And the first thing people do is, well,
I guess that's just the way things are now. Maybe
it's just because I'm getting older. I'm not in my
twenties anymore, not my thirties anymore. This is just what happens,
(43:24):
because I see so many other people deal with this.
And that's the biggest mistake is that when you excuse
yourself from making change, when you excuse yourself from making
a plan to make change, I should say, that's when
you get yourself into trouble, and these issues start to
accelerate very very quickly. So the opposite thing that you
(43:44):
want to do is you want to say, hey, here's
where I'm at now in my life. Here's the reality
of the situation. Here's my schedule for the week. Here's
the things that I have to do, whether it's school
pickups or whether it's going to work, or the obligations
that you have to do. Okay, so what do you do? Well,
You've got to work around it. Maybe you have to
work out in the morning, maybe in the evening, maybe
(44:06):
a meal prep on the weekends. You make it work
so that you get the health that you need to get.
So all it takes is realizing where you're at now,
realizing or thinking of where you want to go. And
then there's that middle ground having the plan to do it,
and some of you are like, I don't even know
where to start. That's fine. That's where there's people like me.
(44:28):
I'm a chiropractor. I'd consider myself a health coach as
well to help you formulate that plan to go from
point A to point B. Give us a call. I'm
willing to help. Signing off doctor greg O'Neil, have a
great week.
