For many people, there is no bigger pain in the entire world than the sound of an alarm clock rousing them from a deep, restful sleep. Do you get up and hit the snooze button? But perhaps the bigger question is ... how much sleep do you really need? The amount  of sleep that is enough is the amount that results in you feeling fully rested and alert.

On October 19, 2013 Southside Christian School will have a day of celebration with community events all day, capped off by a concert featuring [...]

By |2020-04-09T14:19:20-04:00September 27th, 2013|archive|Comments Off on Obamacare or Concierge Medicine: A New Standard of Care?

I recently received a letter from our personal family physician, who we've known for over 20 years. The letter began with a paragraph stating that he was leaving the group practice which he had been a part of, and had joined something called "PartnerMD, a membership medical practice that provides excellent primary care."  He went on to state that "PartnerMD's model will enable me to provide attentive, personalized medical care with an emphasis on prevention." The Concierge Medicine Model My takeaway [...]

By |2020-04-28T13:01:31-04:00May 8th, 2013|archive|Comments Off on Chiropractic among best jobs of 2013

I recently read a Facebook post by the president of Life Chiropractic University quoting an article in the Wall Street Journal. I was pleasantly surprised that an article reporting on the best and worst jobs of 2013  found that Chiropractic is #11 on the list. The metrics used were physical demands, work environment, income, stress, and hiring outlook, but what was even more interesting was where other health care providers wound up on the list. Veterinarians came in at #15, Podiatrists were [...]

Consider your drive to work this morning.  What happens when traffic signals get out of sync, or quit working completely?  Chaos, of course: confused drivers, traffic gridlock and fender benders tend to result. Your body’s cells are not all that different. A interruption of your body’s “central clock,” like what happened this weekend after turning your clock forward an hour for Daylight Saving Time, can potentially disrupt the millions of activities and pathways that keep us running smoothly. Not unlike the [...]
