Karen was in the other day for her regular visit. She shared with me that her medical doctor had called her the other day to schedule a colonoscopy. She felt hesitant about doing it. Ironically, years ago she had been diagnosed with colon cancer and had gone through all of the testing and treatment, including wearing a colostomy bag, radiation …
Many of us no doubt have heard the phrase: “Life is not about the destination…it’s about the journey.” Or something like that. I believe that the destination and journey are both important in life. I think they represent the two sides of the brain: the left brain is about the destination while the right brain is all about the journey. …
If you think about it, the brain sits in the skull, encased by bone, cut off from the world. It uses specialized organs to gather information about the world, namely the eyes, ears, nose and tongue.

In order to understand why some diseases occur and continue to happen while other diseases the body is able to overcome, we need to look …
I call it the biggest secret in healing because if you talk to most health care professionals, mainstream and alternative, you won’t hear much about it. And since it’s the foundation of NeuroStructural care, I believe it should be talked about and recognized much, much more. Have you ever wondered, and it’s good to wonder, why when you cut your …
