Have you noticed how infrequently Dr. Borski and Dr Baker are ill?  They each do several things to make sure they stay well so they can care for their patients without interruption.  They actively work at it! Here are their “secrets” for mostly good health:

Get adjusted regularly to keep the nervous system working at peak performance to help other systems and immune function stay at optimal levels.

Eat organic as much as possible and little/no sugar.  If you really want to feel better, get rid of unexplained aches and pains, reduce your chances of getting arthritis, cancer, diabetes, MS, ALS, heart disease/cholesterol issues, unexplained headaches, fatigue, syndrome x, and or high blood pressure you have to change what you eat! 

One thing that has been made clear is that you can take great supplements of all kinds but if you continue to eat a typical American diet it won’t make a big enough difference. Here’s a few GOOD CHOICES to keep in mind:


Fish (fresh caught, cold water best)
Lean protein (without hormones, antibiotics)          
Fruits and veggies (organic if possible)
Garlic, ginger, turmeric (spices)
Dark chocolate (70%+)                
Red wine ( â preservatives)

Get enough rest.  This is so important and often corners are cut here.  If you have irregular hours this will greatly affect your health negatively over time.  Doubly important when it comes to children!

Take supplements.  Our food supply is very nutritionally poor compared to decades ago (it is not nutrionally dense), full of pharmaceutical residue (animal and human), pesticides, herbicides, and man-made chemicals. Most of us don’t consistently make wise choices- we eat a heavy western diet which is highly imflammatory and high caloric content, not nutrionally dense.
Size, lifestyle, age and health history will affect the supplements and amounts different people need.  With that in mind here is a list of supplements we find beneficial to consider as a good starting point:

A good multi-vitamin (QUALITY is everything!)                                
(Calcium)-Magnesium
EPA/DHA; fish/cod liver oil
Vitamin C
Vitamin D

Remember the Dynamic Health Drink can supply some of these nutrients as well as digestive and proteolytic enzymes, which we need more as we age.

Exercise – do a little something everyday for even 10-30 minutes.  Do something you enjoy.  Dance, walk, bike, swim, or just play hard with kids!

Each day is a new opportunity to regain your health!
