PAUSE, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND LOOK AT YOUR HEALTH FROM THE BIG PICTURE.
The pace of life is often so rapid we are lucky to keep up with what we are doing right now. Regularly pausing and looking at the big picture can help point us in direction we want to go. I recommend your health be first on your list.
Let’s start with the most common health problem in each stage of life. I suspect these are all too familiar to you. Birth to age 10 are skin conditions and infections. Age 10-19 are acne and menstrual disorders. Age 20-29 are mental health conditions, obesity and migraine headaches. Age 30-39 Neuro-Musculo-skeletal, digestive, and gall bladder conditions. Age 40-59 high triglycerides, high blood pressure and erectile dysfunction. Age 60-79 cancer, osteoarthritis, enlarged prostate, cataract, large intestine conditions, type 2 diabetes and deafness. Age 80+ multiple heart conditions, dementia, kidney diseases, anemia and osteoporosis.[1]
I call this the conventional downward health spiral. At least 40% of the U.S. population is on this path. The number of people with chronic health problems is projected to increase by the millions and start at an earlier age. The evidence demonstrates that the quality of our health in America is and has been on the decline for several decades. This decline parallels increasing pharmaceutical and technological developments. According to a 2021 report by the Commonwealth Fund regarding healthcare in the US, compared to other high-income countries, the US ranks eleventh out of eleven.[2] Depressing isn’t it?

The continual decline in the quality of our health and life gave rise to the “Wellness Revolution”. The growth of Massage, yoga, Pilates, fitness centers, integrative medical centers, natural and organic grocery stores took off with increasing popularity. Yet the downhill spiral of our health continues. What is missing?
What Is Health?
Why is this the current state of our health? What is going on? Let’s look at how our bodies work and why they are breaking down. The anatomy and physiology textbooks are the same for medical school and chiropractic college. Amazingly, chiropractors see how our bodies work from the viewpoint of the nervous system being the primary system. This viewpoint may be new to you, as the heart and circulatory system are what are emphasized in the medical system.
In my opinion, based on observations during forty-five years of clinical integrative chiropractic practice, the issue of millions of people currently being diagnosed with several illnesses is because of the breakdown of the Four Foundational Pillars of Health. Our ability to heal is severely limited to the point that we cannot heal. The ability to heal, and to heal exponentially, will be restored when the Four Foundational Pillars of Health are rebuilt and restored.
The Four Foundational Pillars of Health
The breakdown of the restorative processes is the result of interferences disrupting the Four Foundational Pillars of Health. The first pillar—the communication systems of the mind/body—is disrupted by multiple types of interferences. The second pillar—nutrition for growth and repair—is harmed by deficiencies and imbalances in nutrition. The third pillar—detoxification processes to clear toxins from the body—is overburdened by years of accumulating both internally produced and externally produced environmental toxins. The fourth pillar—mind/body stress relief, which is our ability to adapt to stress—is frequently broken down with the excessive and sustained stress of modern life. The rapid pace of life from the moment you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night causes a continual release of stress signals in the nervous system as well as stress chemicals in the endocrine system, particularly from the adrenal glands. The sustained nervous system signaling and stress chemical release contribute to the overall breakdown of all systems of the body.
This may be news to you. Taking action based on the new understanding about the impact of physical, chemical, and emotional stress and recognizing when it’s happening will change your life.
