Many people know their posture stinks. Many of these same people have associated neck pain, migraines, headaches, fatigue and tight muscles.
We have all been told an outdated model of posture that is purely based on the muscles.
What has been recently discovered is that our body houses a special type of water known as structured water - H302.
This water forms complex hexagonal structures that exert the hydrostatic pressure necessary to keep our body’s in a good upright position.
In this video we discuss how all of these pieces fit together and how to make sure your body is making adequate amounts of structured water.

Those struggling with chronic migraine headaches, neck pain, chronic fatigue, low back pain, and muscle soreness know that low energy comes along for the ride.
What is not often discussed is how these two things are connected.
When the body can’t make, store, and move energy efficiently, it can’t power its important systems.
Inefficient healing and chronic pain results.
In this episode, we are discussing a sleeping giant in the health and wellness space - structured water.
Differing from normal water in its structure and chemical properties, the human body is reliant on having good amounts of structured water available to be at it’s healthiest.
This episode discusses what structured water is, what it does, and how to take advantage of this knowledge for your best health.

Chronic headaches, fatigue, and pain create big problems in people’s lives.
Perhaps the worst part is the lack of clarity about what to DO to make it go away to feel better.
But how often does someone look at HOW the body actually heals?
Mitochondria are in every cell of the human body, sometimes by the thousands. They are the bedrock of the energy production required for healing by the human body.
And guess what? For most people - the mitochondria are in a stressed state and are not able to do their job.
This week on the Quantum Chiropractor podcast - we learn about what mitochondria are, what they do, and how to support them.
Remember, the only thing that can heal your body is your body…and the mitochondria is a great place to start!

A LOT of people have tightness that is uncomfortable and makes it hard to move well.
The solutions we are given? Stretch! Yoga! Massages!
Nothing wrong with any of these things. However, many people do these things and are still battling the same tightness for months, or even years.
What gives?!?
Enter fascia, the most underrated tissue in the human body.
It is thin, flexible, and stabilizing. It also covers large areas of the body allowing us dynamic movement as human beings.
Unfortunately, the lives we live are hard on the fascia. Accidents and injuries. Lack of movement. Stressed posture.
Over time, the fascia becomes inflexible and dehydrated.
The result? You guessed it - tightness and “muscle knots”
But until the fascia is released, the tightness persists. Which is why continuing to work on muscles may be a fast track to insanity

Most people wouldn't mind feeling a little better, or having more energy throughout the day. Most people also at least partially recognize that getting good sleep is an important piece of that puzzle.
What most people don’t recognize is that sleep is only half of the story.
As humans, we have a “day mode” where we activate and energize, digest our food, and live our lives. Cortisol is the hormone that this most directly relates to.
We then have a “night mode” where we rest, restore, and heal. Melatonin is the boss hormone in this arena.
The Problem is…99% are very “day mode” dominant. Our technology, artificial lights, stress, eating timing and more all play into this equation.
The result? “Night mode” and melatonin get pushed to the side. So even people who do feel like they get enough sleep often wake up feeling unrested and often have chronic, nagging health issues that come along for the ride.
If you want some more info about how this works and what to do about it, check out this episode of the Quantum Chiropractor podcast.

Many people have tight muscles. They can be annoying, make it harder to move, and sometimes are really painful.
Yet when people stretch, exercise, get massages, rub cream on it and try 500 other things, the tight muscles remain.
Why is that?!?!?
Well as it so happens, a muscle only does something when a nerve tells it to.
In this episode, we talk about how nerves get irritated and how that leads to chronic muscle tension.

Many people have been dealing with chronic headaches, fatigue, or pain for longer than 6 months.
Yet when I ask them, has anyone evaluated HOW WELL IS YOUR BODY HEALING? - I usually just get a blank stare for a few moments.
Then it dawns on them…WHY HASN’T ANYONE LOOKED AT HOW WELL MY BODY IS HEALING?!?!?
We all understand that ultimately, the only thing that can heal your body is your body.
A real problem is that healing requires a lot of energy, and most people are not making/storing energy effectively in their body’s.
In episode #5 of the Quantum Chiropractors podcast, I introduce the actual game that you need to be playing when it comes to getting your healing back on track.
THAT is where the real magic is for getting your health back on track.

Most people with chronic headaches, fatigue, and pain will readily admit “my posture isn’t the greatest”.
What most people don’t realize is how closely connected their symptoms and their posture/structure are.
The even bigger problem is we have all been told lies about how our posture/structure actually works.
In this video I dispel the posture/structure myths and give you the full story on how it actually works.
Once I understood the real game I was playing, everything changed in terms of how I could impact my posture/structure.
My own health improved exponentially as a result.

Millions of Americans are dealing with headaches, fatigue, and chronic pain that has been going on for longer than 4 months.
When I ask the people I work with if they know how quickly their body is supposed to heal, I often get a puzzled look.
Muscles and bones typically heal in about 8 weeks, ligaments and tendons typically in about 3-6 months.
So how is it that pain and fatigue keeps going and going for so many?
Is it possible that something is getting missed?
In this 3rd episode of the Quantum Chiropractors podcast, I am going to dive into a HUGE root cause issue that gets missed ALL of the time.
