Hello!

We hope that everybody has been having a great week!  We're almost to the weekend!  We pray that you have an enjoyable time with family and friends and take a part in all the special moments.

We wanted to go ahead and let our patient members know that the office will be closed on Monday (Sept. 6th) and Tuesday (Sept. 7th) for the Labor Day weekend.  We hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends!

We wanted to speak with our patient members about some things that are of quite some importance.  Memory loss, Dementia and Alzheimer's are becoming quite common names in our world today.  We have a story and a few tips we would like to share with you, so that you can be aware.  Read below, as Charlie Adams presents his story and tips from dealing with his mother's Dementia.

"It can be a very draining process, when someone you love is dealing with these diseases of the mind; but you also have to look for the moments of joy. ...

2 . If you decided to have more energy and get in the best health of your life this year, what habits would you start right away?

3. What could you do on an ongoing basis to help yourself renew more often and recover from stress?

What are some challenges in life you're having right now? Why do you want to be better?

Certified High Performance Coaching is a process created to explore all the ways you can reach heightened and sustained levels of performance and potential in your life. As a Certified Coach, my job is to work with you in this process through 5 different areas: Clarity, Energy, Courage, Productivity, and Influence. Mastery in these five areas, help you feel more purposeful and fulfilled. So, as your coach, I will typically explore:

How clear you feel...

Today we are going to review the first two 'T's of subluxation, and then get into the final and third 'T' of subluxation - Toxins and how they affect our daily lives and habits.

As a refresher for our Thoughts (the 1st 'T'), pick 3 words to live by.  What are 3 words you'd be proud to put on your tombstone? Put these 3 words in your phone as a daily reminder to live by.

To decrease the negative effects of repetitive Trauma (the 2nd 'T'), Keep your eyes at the horizon. Get your digital devices at the horizon. Do more back and scapula retraction exercises in your workouts.

The 3rd 'T' is Toxins. What toxins can you eliminate in your life?

1. What ingredients are in your foods? Are they processed, non-GMO and GF? The foods we eat either take away or add toxins. Beets and cruciferous vegetables are great for our kidney and liver health which are filters of our bodies.

2. What are you using for cleaning agents in your house? Are they organic? Are they toxic?  Do they have...

In this video, I go over 2 simple exercises to lower your cortisol, minimize the repetitive trauma in your life and save face on your soft nerve pathways.

Hi! I'm Dr Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach, here to talk about the second of the three T's called trauma.

Did you realize repetitive trauma can be in the form of poor posture for long periods day in day out? Have you ever heard of text neck or low riding it?

Always looking down, shoulders slumped and always being in a flexed posture repetitively for long periods are forms of repetitive trauma.

This affects cortisol, testosterone and chokes soft nerve pathways leading to poor body chemistry and memory loss.

What can you do about it?

1. Keep your eyes at the horizon. Get your computer monitors and mobile devices positioned at the horizon of your field of vision at work and/or play.

2. Do a 1 to 2 minute superhero pose per day coupled with deep breathing and gratitude.  This was found in a Harvard study by...

Hello Accountability Team!

I'd first like to challenge you to buy a journal for this 30 Day journey.  

Have a daily post of what you can get excited about this day?  Write that down.

Then ask yourself...

What are 3 words I want others to see me as and that I want to see myself as?  What are 3 words to live by?  What are 3 words I would put on my headstone?  Write that down.

Now would you share your 3 words and why you picked them?

Mine are:

(1) Love - It's the greatest of all!

(2) Laughter - Got to be able to laugh at myself.

(3) Fluid - Able to go through or around anything.

Now, put your 3 words in your phone as a daily reminder.  I'd recommend a great transition time for you like right before you start your work day or right before lunch.  Do that now.

Yours For The Better

Dr Howard Dennis
