Last week we covered a few easy-to-do health tips you can use as soon as today to take back control of your immune system. This week, I want to share with you what is likely the simplest and most powerful health idea ever conceived. Yet, it takes just 30 minutes a day, is easy to do, and there almost isn’t anything in existence that rivals its impact. What is this “magic” fix? None other than a DAILY 30-minute walk. Here is just the SHORT list of the proven benefits of a daily 30-minute walk (kudos to my colleague Dr. James Chestnut for [...]

The Shut-In’s Guide To Healthy Living

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-03-24T08:18:59-04:00

How are you (my dear reader) during all this? I’ve been collecting my thoughts and working again on balance. Life would be easier without the 2 kids to manage during the daytime. And I can share earnestly that this week has been harsher than I thought emotionally. That said, now that I’ve had some time to adapt (and could still use more), I’ll be keeping in touch with tips and ideas for what you can do to stay healthy during our temporary “house arrest”. For today’s installment, here are a few recommendations I believe deserve your extra intention right now: 1. [...]

When “Good” Stress Turns Bad

Dr. Joshua Gelber2020-02-19T13:35:52-05:00

Let me tell you a quick story. In 2018, my wife and I bought our first house (together - I had owned property myself prior to meeting her). As it is for most first-time home-buyers, it was an exciting prospect. I was all in, and this time it was far more exciting. When we closed, I found myself thinking about furniture; making the home "ours". I was running around trying to bring together various pieces, exploring a bunch of websites and haunting online reviews, all while trying to keep to our budget and be true to the feeling and flow we [...]

Try This Little-Known Harvey Specter Success Secret

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-11-26T13:48:37-05:00

Let me share something personal. One of my favourite shows is Suits. I just love all the witty back and forth, the intense personal and courtroom drama, and well…I’ve got two words for you…Harvey Specter. I admit: I’m a fan. As a chiropractor, one of the things I appreciate about Gabriel Macht (the actor who plays Harvey) is how well he portrays the character’s posture and body language. If you haven’t seen the show, Harvey is a high-powered corporate attorney, known as “New York’s best closer”. And from the moment he enters a scene, you don’t have a shred of doubt [...]

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 [...]

Chicken Soup for The Chiro’s Soul

Dr. Joshua Gelber2019-04-30T14:19:49-04:00

Last week was a heavy one; this week I feel clearer and more positive, especially when I remembered this: I once heard Jack Canfield, co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, tell a story. He said he was on a talk show and a woman in the audience complained she hadn’t been happy since her husband died, seven years prior. She pleaded for his advice. “Well, what sorts of things do you love to do?” he replied. The woman said she loved to paint, play the piano, and spend time working in her garden. Canfield then asked, [...]

“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 [...]
