Survive The Jaws of the Lion

Dr. Joshua Gelber2021-01-19T18:35:17-05:00

You may have once heard of an adventurer called Dr. Livingstone. While in Africa, he was dragged away from his camp in the jaws of a lion and lived to tell the tale. It was strange. Once in the grip of the lion's teeth, he felt a bizarre sense of euphoria, and went completely limp. It was as though he'd given up the fight and resigned himself to his fate. But he never gave up his desire to live. Sure enough, Dr. Livingstone survived his close encounter with the King of the jungle. Today, we are living in the jaws of a [...]

How To Motivate Yourself To Do Something Difficult

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-09-02T21:39:45-04:00

Change of pace today. Here’s a quick “life hack” you might find useful. According to a recent article in Fast Company, if you ever find yourself faced with a boring, difficult, or time-consuming task, don’t tell yourself “I’ll do it later”. Instead, build up in your head that it WILL be difficult, and you’ll probably hate it. You might just find yourself scrambling to get it over with. Why? This idea has its roots in a joint study between the University of British Columbia and Princeton. Researchers found that anticipating positive experiences contains both happy emotions (e.g. savouring the thought) and unhappy ones (e.g. waiting [...]

Mechanist or Vitalist? (Find Out What Works For Better Health)

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-06-30T17:41:36-04:00

When you understand this key difference, it’ll empower you to make clearer choices for your health. What is it? The mechanistic vs. the vitalistic approach to healing. Typically medical doctors are mechanists. They view the body as a sort of biological ‘machine’ with a series of parts, each requiring their own attention. A cardiologist looks after your heart. A neurologist looks after your nervous system. A gastroenterologist deals with the digestive system. And so on and so forth. A typical (but thankfully not always) medical intervention can involve drugs or surgery to repair, or even remove a ‘faulty’ part. While there [...]

A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 4

Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-10-25T22:20:20-04:00

Back to Part 3 Striking a balance As a woman, there are certain symptoms that the medical community will tell you are “normal.” We are brought up to believe that monthly menstrual pain and the other less than comfortable and emotional “joys” that go along with it, are simply a fact of life if you are a woman. There’s even a biblical fable taught to children in religious school to justify it. When I first got my period as a teenager, I was not prepared for the severe cramping, back and leg pain and nausea that would greet me every month. [...]

A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 3

Dr. Joshua Gelber2016-10-05T15:23:26-04:00

Back to Part 2 Symptoms, an “alternative” mindset, diagnosis and acceptance I like to think I lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. Sure, there are nights when I go to bed way too late after having a little too much wine, and days when I might choose a sleep-in instead of an early morning workout at the gym. Or the odd night when I’m too tired to cook and have failed to plan meals in advance and instead, order takeout. But for the most part, on weeknights at least, I’m in bed by 9 and up at 5 for an early morning [...]

Back to Part 1 Part 2 - Disclaimer*** The author boldly shares about her mental health journey - it goes deep, it's personal, and the primary reason her identity is kept private. Please enjoy her openness. Coping with Anxiety Being under regular chiropractic wellness care for the last 5 years, I like to think that I have a firm understanding of the different forms of stress (chemical-emotional-physical) and how they play a role in my overall health and well-being. I eat a fairly clean diet and exercise regularly, which, along with adjustments, help keep my mind clear and anxiety manageable. However, [...]

Inspiration, Transformation!

Dr. Joshua Gelber2011-01-27T11:39:42-05:00

So what is transformation? I'll be as brief as possible - I'm simply on a new path, creating new possibilities, and my visions is to enroll as many people as possible in this; transformation means I'm letting go of stories, excuses, and I'm creating a new future based on the future, not the past. To all my friends, old, new, close, not so close, I could tell you I'm changing, but I'm not, I'm transforming. What is enrollment? It's playing full out with me, it's embracing your potential, my potential, our community's potential for being, not just some interest in "becoming". [...]

The Chiropractic Monster: Defining yourself differently from the Beast

Dr. Joshua Gelber2010-01-01T14:17:41-05:00

I have come to terms in this most recent year of practice, that my profession has an image issue. Its credibility is questioned by some, and raved about by others – how is this possible?! Just about every time I sit down with a new potential patient (potential because they have to be accepted first) and I inquire about any previous chiropractic experiences, I hear a multitude of stories. Some experiences will mirror what I offer, and others will be completely different. Let me tell you why: Through adaptation, modification, and the quest for acceptance, there are now two types of [...]
