Top 5 Health Tips To Keep You Out Of Your Doctor’s Office

I hate tips and lists but I’m not like everyone, or even close to the majority.  But I’ve had many questions and conversations about what I do personally to create and maintain health expression.  Hopefully this helps you in your journey.

Top 5 Health Tips To Keep You Out of Your Doctor’s Office

Read…a lot.

Reading isn’t just about information but also affirmation.  It’s not a question that I ask my clients but maybe I should.  “What was the last book you read or listened to?”  If the answer is romance novels, then we just need to add in some reading pertaining to their health challenges.  If they haven’t read a book since high school, that’s a problem.

If that resonates with you, then you’re destined to fail since you’re looking for someone else to solve the problem when you already possess the solution to 98% of your health issues.  The only long term, viable solution to you getting well is your personal efforts, on a consistent basis, for an extended period of time.  Picking up a book or listening to an audiobook about a health topic is the least expensive, yet most life changing thing you can possibly do to turn around your situation.

The clients that get the best results are the ones that say, “Hey, Dr. Kurt, have you read this book yet?”

Love Yourself.

Fence Post or Bicycle Seat: Creating Life Balance 10% at a Time

Many of my clientele are either business owners or high end management/executives in their companies.  What does this mean?  It means they are drivers and achievers.  They push themselves hard to reach a goal. The problem is that they often end up in my office totally tanked.  They have fatigue, sleep issues, depression, and chronic […]

Concussion and CTE: Repetitive Trauma or Autoimmune

I love football.  I was the quarterback of my alma mater’s back to back, intramural flag football championship team at Roberts Wesleyan College in the late 90s, early 2000s.  I was even captain of my 8th grade football team (the very peak of my athletic career) at dear old Glens Falls middle school.  Everything was […]

Two Cardiac Markers To Consider

Brainwashing works.  It’s also really hard to unlearn.  It’s amazing how many conversations I have with potential new clients that are either worried or excited about their cardiac health based on cholesterol levels.  The cholesterol-heart disease connection is about as relevant today as paying for AOL.  That’s an even harder conversation to have with someone.

Testing for Leaky Gut: Yes, It Does Exist

‘Leaky Gut’ has become a household term, at least from the clients walking into my door.  A gut’s leakiness is can be linked to mental/emotional issues, behavioral issues, auto-immune issues, and virtually any disruption in the body’s intelligent expression. But the elephant in the room is that it’s hard to quantify.  You’re convinced there is […]
