I bet if I asked you “What is more risky for your body, squatting or sitting?” you would say “well squatting, obviously.”  And, I can understand why…

We’ve been taught that squatting is dangerous… a sure-fire way to hurt your back and knees…sitting, on the other hand, must be safe because, well, we sit all the time and nothing bad happens right?

Yet another myth we’ve been sold.

This may sound crazy… bear with me….

The cure for your back pain may be in your foot.

As a life by design chiropractor, I’m always on the lookout for the Core Problems that create dysfunction in the body.

And one thing I’ve learned in the process of helping hundreds of families get their health on track is that YOUR problem isn’t always THE problem. Kinda like how if you step on a dog’s tail, it barks, but that doesn’t mean the problem is its mouth.

Okay, so maybe not Ridley Scott’s aliens, but there are definitely foreign puppeteers pulling the strings from inside your body.

The good news is that they are fairly happy to coexist with you, instead of bursting out of your chest like Porky Pig at the end of a Bugs Bunny cartoon…

You’re probably aware that there are trillions of bacteria that live in your stomach and intestines, but their importance and influence in maintaining your overall health may not have been highlighted to you…

Nutrition is a central component to your health whether you pay attention to it or not, all of us in Kanata are subject to the same nutrition lies that continue to make the rest of the world sick and fat.

Each one of these myths are embedded as cultural norms and accepted as “the standard” when it comes to nutritional decision-making. Without ever considering the impact of your food choices on how your body functions, you’re left to pay the price for what are often believed to be solid and smart decisions.

Sadly these decisions lie at the root of Kanata’s (and the world’s) declining health status and the consequences will continue to be far-reaching and long lasting.
