My “Glory Days” Plan To Get Back My Fitness

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-09-24T02:10:27-04:00

Keeping on with the fitness theme this month… I want to share something personal. I’ve been “off track” with my fitness for years now. And I’m finally getting around to having a plan in place to get back into things. What I’m remembering – and why this may be useful to you – is that it’s no small task. There’s work, planning, and dedication that goes into it. Here’s the short list of what I’ve put in motion: *Got an accountability coach *I’m writing out my workout plan (with the help of a trainer) *Putting in my calendar the days and [...]

Did Marilyn Monroe Have A Bad Back?

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-08-20T12:23:30-04:00

Here’s an interesting fact for you: The one-and-only Marilyn Monroe developed her signature walk by hacking off the heel of one shoe. I hear something like that and my chiropractor’s brain instantly thinks “compensation pattern”. What do I mean? Well, by changing the length of one leg, Monroe would set up a movement pattern that, if she continued it long enough, could only hurt the delicate musculoskeletal balance in her body. She died young, at age 36. But I’d guess that if she’d lived longer, and kept walking that way, she’d have ended up with a bad back. And that would [...]

“Little” Health Devils That Hide In The Details

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-04-18T11:30:57-04:00

Ok, so it’s been a tough few weeks. I'm clear and aware I'm sharing this week from a passionate and emotional headspace, but on the mark based on so many conversations I have with people. As I’ve been dealing with the dire scenario of my mother-in-law’s illness and passing, I can’t help but be even more preoccupied than usual with thoughts about how to prevent this for all of us, and curious about health and habits. That last one is truly in my head space right now. It’s all the lifestyle things we sometimes ignore that can lead to “dis-ease” [...]

I had a meltdown last week

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-02-19T11:56:25-05:00

A couple of weeks ago my wife got sick. I mean this was the worst cold she’s had in about eight years – sneezing, heavy-duty dry cough, the whole nine. About a week later my son got sick, too. Poor little guy got it bad, with fever, even a double ear infection. I had to step up. So I double-dosed my USANA vitamins to keep the ol’ immune system a-humming and took on some additional parenting duties. Add to that I skipped a few lunches to do some outreach here in the community. It was tiring, but fulfilling. Next, I had to [...]

How to Build a Strong Foundation for Your Health

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-01-08T19:46:27-05:00

Building a strong health foundation in your life is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Once your health is in check, everything else falls into place. It’s easier to meet deadlines at work, have energy for your family, and to feel good in the all through the day, not just in the mornings. When you suffer from poor posture, don’t get quality sleep, eat processed foods, and lack regular exercise, everything starts to fall apart. You end up feeling tired all of the time, your digestion is poor, and you likely end up with body pains. It’s [...]
