152-pound weight loss

I'm going to tell you a story about Kim.

Kim lost 152 pounds in about six months doing Dr.
Kaden's weight loss protocol.

She's a different woman.

But if you would've known Kim a year and a
half ago, you could appreciate the mountain
she has climbed.

She takes out her license to show the size she was.

That would be at 300 pounds.

Another photo she shows was taken during a cruise
vacation splurge with her husband at her side - the
same man who used to worry about her every night.

After she lost her weight, her headaches disappeared.

"I didn't notice until the weight started to drop off,
cause I had started working out before coming here and
trying to lose weight and it was very slow,".

"It was starting to accelerate a little bit and I
started having more energy.

"So many people jump-start, for lack of a better word,
their metabolism when they effectively are treated for
their weight loss problems at the office."

Once those hormones are regulated you don't have the
same carb cravings. Kim now is back to walking, light
workouts and yard work.

Humility is no longer her only strength.

"I try to be low key about it, but inside, yes, I'm very,
very happy with myself," Kim beams.

And her husband?

He says she's a new woman.

Dr. Kaden's weight loss program is structured so you
give your body what it needs, when it needs it.

Sometimes just a small change can make a big difference.

Kind of like it did for Kim.

Thanks and make sure you're doing the program everyday.

Spine Tingling Facts About Sciatica

Your sciatic nerve is the longest and widest nerve in your body, and runs from the lower back, down through the buttock, and all the way into the lower leg, where it controls the muscles in that area. It also provides sensation to the thighs, legs, and the soles of the feet. When the sciatic nerve becomes irritated for some reason and causes pain, this pain is known as sciatica. Sciatica refers to the various symptoms associated with the irritation, and does not give any indication as to the root cause of the irritation.

Much of the low-back and leg pain reported is sciatic pain, and it is most evident in the age bracket of 30 to 50 years old. It is more commonly a result of general wear and tear, rather than an injury.

Symptoms of Sciatica

The most obvious giveaway that you are suffering sciatic pain is when it follows the route of the sciatic nerve, as previously described, and is typically apparent only on one side of the body. However, there are variations in how exactly that pain is felt, including tingling, aching or burning. It depends on where the sciatic nerve is being affected. Some patients may also feel pins-and-needles in the toes or foot, or muscle numbness/weakness in the affected leg or foot

More often than not, sciatica first manifests slowly, then increases in intensity, often being accentuated after sitting or bending, or sudden movements such as sneezing or coughing.

Diagnosis of Sciatica

This starts with your doctor of chiropractic taking a complete patient history. Your descriptions of where the pain is, how it is felt, when it began, and which activities cause you most pain, are all important in helping to form a diagnosis. It is also necessary to undergo a physical and neurological examination, with a particular focus on your spine and legs. Your ability to perform certain activities will be monitored to assess your sensory strength, muscle strength, and reflexes, and any pain resulting from these activities.

Diagnostic imaging, such as x-ray, MRI, or CT scan may be ordered by your doctor of chiropractic if it is felt there may be more at play, such as a serious underlying problem. This may happen if there is no improvement in symptoms following 6 to 8 weeks of conservative treatment.

Treatment Options for Sciatica

Conservative care, including chiropractic treatment, is a very effective solution for most people suffering sciatic pain. As there is an array of possible causes of sciatica, treatment plans will be individually tailored depending on what your chiropractor finds in your particular case. When we talk about “conservative”, it refers to the absence of surgical procedures or medication. Instead, chiropractic seeks to rectify spinal problems, thus restore spinal movement and reduce the inflammation that’s causing the sciatica. Treatment may include spinal manipulation and adjustments, the application of ice/heat therapy, ultrasound, use of a TENS machine, and rehabilitative exercises.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

To protect your back, improve your spinal health, and guard as best you can against sciatica developing in the first place, follow these tips:

• Follow a healthy diet
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Exercise regularly
• Practice proper posture
• Avoid too much inactivity or bed rest
• Quit smoking
• Lift things safely, using good body mechanics

Young Athletes Stay Healthy and Fit for Success with Chiropractic

Kids love to play sports today just as they always have done, but these days the variety of sports on offer is huge. It is so easy to indulge their passion that, in the fun of it all, the importance of proper conditioning and healthy nutrition may be overlooked by parents and kids alike. Without these two elements, performance will not be as keen as it might be, and the chances of injury will be much higher.

In those more competitive of sports such as football, athletics and gymnastics, the training regimes imposed upon the kids can be something they are just not ready to handle unless their bodies are fully prepared, and they understand how to guard against the possibility of potentially serious physical damage.

Warming up, stretching, strength-training, cooling down, are all necessary for kids involved in sports, but even when they choose to follow the routines, they may not have sufficient learning to follow them properly. Thus it is not necessarily the sport itself that can be injurious; it may be the preparations that cause the damage. Improper stretching or weight-lifting techniques can be fairly ruinous to a still-developing teenager.

There needs to be appropriate and professional instruction given to young athletes in both general warm-up procedures, and in sport-specific warm-up. A slow jog is not sufficient preparation for a sport which may test body parts to their limits.

Eating proper nutrition and keeping well-hydrated are also crucial to support the rigors asked of the young athlete’s body. If 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water each day is recommended for a non-sporting person, the requirements for an athlete are obviously greater considering how they are taxing their systems and sweating it out. A nutritious breakfast is very important, and during match or competition days the athlete should aim to eat a healthy meal around 2 to 4 hours before their physical exertion, and within 1 to 2 hours afterwards to properly refuel the body.

It is one of the traits of youth that kids feel nothing can hurt them, but this obviously isn’t true. By following the tips below, you can ensure your child is well-prepared for whatever their chosen sport throws at them.

Your child should endeavor to:

Wear the correct equipment

• This is obviously vital in certain contact sports, such as football and hockey, which can be dangerous.
• Make sure equipment fits well.
• Alert the trainer if equipment is damaged.

Eat healthily

• Young athletes should eat a well-balanced diet and avoid skipping meals.
• Candy bars, fast food and the like should be shunned.
• Provide healthy foods at home, such as fruit and vegetables rather than cookies and potato chips.

Keep to a healthy weight

• Dietary rules are imposed on participants of certain sports, without which optimum performance is unlikely.
• Be watchful of your child becoming too fanatical about this and ending up losing too much weight.

Drink plenty of water

• Hydration is vital to optimal fitness.
• Teenage athletes need at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water a day.
• Younger athletes need 5 to 8 eight-ounce glasses.

Avoid soda

• Commercial sodas are massively responsible for poor health and obesity. Look at a good quality sports drink for young athletes who need a sustained source of replenishment.

Warm-up properly

• Before every event – competition or practice – the athlete should warm up. Talk to the coach if this isn’t happening.
• Jogging, jumping rope, lifting light weights are all good ways to avoid torn or ripped muscles.

Take vitamins daily

• Multi-vitamins may help a young athlete avoid a deficiency.
• B-complex vitamins and amino acids can help reduce pain after contact sports.
• Thiamine helps promote healing.
• Vitamin A is good for scar tissue.

Avoid gimmicky supplements

• Performance-enhancing supplements like creatine should be avoided in the under-18s.

Rest well

• Young athletes should get eight hours of sleep a night to avoid adversely affecting performance.
• Fatigue can appear as irritability and a loss of interest in the sport.

Start Reversing The Aging Process

It seems science has proven you can "literally" age in reverse...

Yes, age in reverse.

I'm going to share something with you that I only share with my close patients.

Read it carefully if you want to know how to literally reverse the aging process.

If you don't want to learn how to REVERSE the AGING PROCESS, then delete this post. It's not for you. If you're serious about REVERSING AGING, keep reading.

----------------------------------

Of all the studies I have read, this one seals the deal. The scientific journal headline read..."Resistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal Muscle." Not "slow" or "repair"...

REVERSE AGING.

I know... the headline shocked me too but it did get my attention. So being the doctor in the know, I investigated and read the article. The entire article. And here's what I found out. Training your muscles can literally turn back
your genetic clock and actually reverse the aging process.

But this research proves this is exactly what will happen to you when you...
Exercise with Resistance. Now don't complicate this or think you can't
do it. You can... if you just START.

Let me explain. Resistance exercise can be weight training or just using your bodyweight.  This is exercise that is heavy enough to cause "some" strain but
not so heavy that it is painful or dangerous. And you can be 30 or 95 when you start. It doesn't matter.

Careful though. Don't overdo it by thinking, MORE IS BETTER. It's not. Again my point is this. Just start doing something. Once you can get started it gets EASIER.

I will give you the highlights that will give you the knowledge you need to make an informed decision. If you want to read the study yourself you can
find it on PlosOne.org.

--------------------
The Unreal Findings
--------------------

This is a summary of what it said. The mitochondria are the energy factories of the human cells. These are the power plants of the body. So as we age, our muscles begin to show "mitochondrial dysfunction". This is what causes
all the bad stuff associated with "sarcopenia."

Now you're saying, "What the heck is sarcopenia?" Sarcopenia is just the wasting away of muscle due to age and most of all... under-use. As we age we get busy with family and the job, and most people experience a gradual loss of muscle. Sarcopenia is characterized first by a decrease in the size of the muscle, which causes weakness and frailty. It's slow, and most people consider it part of
getting older, and it happens to everyone. Agreed?

Unfortunately, women have sarcopenia more than men. Men lift more and push more daily, so they don't have sarcopenia as quickly as women.
Have you ever looked at a woman's arm muscles? The ones on the backside.

Some women have 'flaps' or 'wings' as they call them. These are the triceps muscles. They more or less just hang there and flap. The problem? No resistance training to their muscle. People don't realize that muscle is active tissue.It is responsible for most of the calories we use during the day. The less muscle you have, the more bodyfat you will gain... if you eat the same amount of
food. That's one reason women gain weight easier, along with hormones, but that's another discussion.

And if you're thinking counting calories-don't. Forget that. Don't count calories.
Just learn how to do some resistance training. (And NO, you don't have to spend hours at the gym. That's a big misconception.)

Here's something else to think about. Muscle loss is also related to the onset of many bone diseases. Yes bone diseases. The muscle that holds your spine in alignment can deteriorate as you age and cause major back problems.

Have you ever seen an older person who's all bent over and walking funny? That's why it's important that you're adjusted and aligned. To keep your back
from bone diseases like subluxation and degeneration. You want to make sure your muscles are as healthy as possible so you don't have these bone diseases.

The same is true for the muscle and tendons around the knee and hip joints.
Can you see why muscle loss is a BIG deal? Can you see why getting adjusted and staying in alignment is a BIG deal? Can you see why you should do some kind of resistance training everyday if possible?

Resistance training builds muscle. Resistance training reverses the aging process. And it does so at ANY age. But that is not the real find in this study. We have numerous studies that show you can gain lean muscle at ANY age. When you do that this you start reversing our age and that's a good thing.

This study also revealed something extraordinary: after just 6 months of resistance training test subjects showed a "reversal of most of the genes affected by age" in muscle tissue.

WOW! But get this. With age and NO resistance training, researchers found 596 genes expressing themselves with "aging", or decreased mitochondrial function.
That's bad. And that's called sarcopenia. That's what is also known as muscle wasting away. When people like you engage in resistance training, (in this case simple resistance training) things happen -- Their strength increased by over 20%; And their genes literally "reverted back" to the same markers as "younger" genes after only 6 months of exercise.

This is staggering when you think about it. It is one thing to maintain muscle as we age, but the real secret: To GAIN muscle. But to know that we are literally reverting our genes to a "younger version" within the muscle? And after only six months?

WOW. That is downright amazing. And that's not all... When the older folks in the study began, they were almost 60% weaker than the younger members of the study. In just 6 months, they were only 38% weaker than the younger group. They were getting stronger by the day. In a few months... they will be even stronger. In some cases their strength would surpass the younger test subjects.

Strength is not a luxury as we age. Some people think it is, but it's not. You have to do SOMETHING. It is absolutely necessary for longevity and health. And this all takes place at the genetic level. Just imagine feeling and looking better in just
6 months?

Why Quality Sleep is Crucial and How to Get It

If you have trouble getting quality sleep, rest assured you’re not alone. “Rest assured” is probably a poor reference here… However, surveys into sleeping problems reveal that between forty and sixty percent of adults don’t feel that they sleep as well as they should or would like to. It is often down to stress in a variety of fashions: money, family, work, aches and pains, general discomfort, poor quality pillow or bed, or a myriad of other reasons.

Good quality sleep is crucial to maintaining good health. It allows your body to recharge and regenerate, and gives your mind the break it needs to stay focused through the next day.

Many people who experience problems sleeping will resort to sleeping pills, but research shows these do not provide the truly quality periods of deep sleep that we need, and anyone who’s used them will testify to how fuzzy they can make you feel in the morning.

Doctors of chiropractic are trained in all aspects of creating wellness, and can offer advice to help the troubled sleeper kick the meds and enjoy a naturally-induced slumber that refreshes as it should. Here are a few tips to create a better environment for quality sleep:

• Exercise regularly and preferably in the morning. Evening exercise can raise your heartbeat into a range that may prevent you settling down to sleep. Try to leave a 2 to 3 hour gap between finishing exercise and going to bed.
• Limit caffeine consumption later in the day and especially before bed. That means not just coffee, but caffeinated sodas and also tea. Counteract the effect of any such beverage during the day by drinking an equal amount of water.
• If you need water during the night, drink it at room temperature not cold, which can upset the digestion and therefore your sleep.
• Try not to eat dinner later than 6pm, again because this sets off the digestive functions which need to be settled for you to sleep well.
• Try to go to bed and wake up at the same times to program your system.
• Sleep in a cool room and as dark as possible. Any light, even through closed eyelids, triggers hormones to be produced that tell you to wake up.

Make sure you give yourself the best chance of sleep by choosing a good mattress and pillow.

The mattress should provide even support for the body and maintain the spine in its natural alignment. This is subjective for each person. To give an idea of whether it feels okay for you, it is recommended that you lie down on it in the store for 3 to 5 minutes. Any longer and you may be ejected for just being a hobo in search of a free lie-down.

Mattress Advice

• Support should be uniform from head to toe, with no unsupportive gaps.
• To firm up a soft mattress if you have back pain, put a board underneath it, but only until you feel better. Too-firm mattresses are not good.
• Flip your mattress, or rotate it head to toe every few months to prevent any part becoming permanently indented.
• When you start waking up feeling achy, that may be a sign you need a new mattress. Mattress life varies according to the quality of the build and how it is used.
• Your mattress may need changing sooner if you experience changes in your life that affect you physically: weight gain or loss or injuries, for example, or anything that affects the weight or the placement of weight on your mattress. Even a new partner!
• To soften up a too-hard mattress if you don’t want to splurge on a new one, there are memory-foam toppers available that will certainly help.

Pillow Talk

A bad pillow can negate all the good work performed every night by a good mattress. The aim of a pillow is to keep the cervical spine (the neck) aligned with the thoracic and lumbar sections of the spine (the chest and the lower back).

• As a guide, a pillow should be able to keep your head and neck level with your mid and lower spine when you are lying on your side. If you lie on your back, it should be able to keep your head and neck level with your upper back and spine. Any deviation from these that angles your head and neck wrongly means you need to find another pillow.
• Foam pillows are good so long as the material is firm enough to provide proper support and not squish away to nothing under your weight.
• You should not need to put your arm under your pillow to get it to the right height, nor bend it over on itself to double its thickness. Those are good indicators your pillow is wrong.
• Like a mattress, it is not a one-size-fits-all situation with pillows. Choose the one that is right for your shape.

Chiropractic Care To Help You Sleep Better

Your doctor of chiropractic can help with more than good advice. Even with the correct bedding, problems falling asleep due to pain and discomfort can occur when there are spinal problems. Chiropractors are trained to treat these problems and ensure that your spine is in a better state to allow you more peaceful rest.
