Be A One-Percenter

We’ve all heard of the top one percent earners in the country. When we hear about them we hear about all kinds of things related to earnings and taxes and zip codes etc. But I think it would be more fun to learn about how to earn our way to being in the top 1% of healthy people on the planet. While it would be nice to be in the top one percent of earners in the country what good would that be if you don’t have your health? And how much does your zip code matter when living in your body is no fun?

In order to improve our ranking as healthy people we have to understand where health comes from. Most folks I talk with believe it has a lot to do with their genetics and are surprised to find out that most geneticists state that the majority have the potential to live vitally somewhere between eighty and one hundred and twenty years! In other words, our “blueprints” for health-potential are not the problem---we are! In fact, the world of study of epigenetics (Dr. Bruce Lipton, et al) teaches us a new biology—that the cell membrane—not just the nucleus of the cell and our DNA—is the “brain” of the cell. The way our cell membrane interfaces with its environment is the key to unlocking our true health potential. What does this mean? Well, our cells’ environment is what we make it—it’s about how we live---what we eat and drink, how much we exercise, how healthy we keep our spine and nervous system and even what we think about.

In chiropractic we recognize the body needs no help---just no interference. When we adhere to providing ourselves with adequate quality and quantity of the Four Essentials of Life---we dramatically increase our chances of reaching our health potential. Staying dialed in to our Food, Water, Oxygen and Nerve Supply keeps our body’s environment balanced and able to express vitality. When we fail to do this we invite disease as we fall into a state of dis-ease. By making regular deposits into our health accounts we avoid misleading ourselves into a false sense of wellness and build ourselves up to becoming all we were created to be and a one-percenter of the healthiest people on earth!
