Family Chiropractic - Weekly Health Tip November
9, 2026 |
Dear patient and friend,
In the journals I read I often come
across new developments in the science of chiropractic. However, people like you never become aware
of these important ideas since the media reports so little of it.
Therefore I’ve taken yet upon myself
to keep you informed of crucial breakthroughs because I know how important they
can be to you, your family and friends.
As your doctor, I believe it’s part of my sacred trust. So for your information and consideration,
here are these unique and revolutionary developments.
Eating Healthy on the Go
How do you stay healthy by eating healthy when your
schedule is as busy and chaotic as ever?
Here's a few tips I give my patients in my
clinic. Before I move onto some healthy
eating tips, the first thing I want you to keep in mind is that you need to
make eating healthy a priority. It should be so incredibly integrated into your
daily habits that you are doing it even without much thought to it...as you
would with some of your other lifestyle habits like brushing your teeth, taking
a shower, etc. You need to start to view eating healthy as a MUST...and not
just a MAYBE.
How you eat and what you eat affects your health
tremendously. See your food and eating habits as the type of fuel you give your
car. If you don't pay attention to what you are giving your car, it clearly may
break down or not run well right? That's the same concept for your body. You
need to pay attention to labels as you would at the gas station to make sure
you are picking the right fuel for your body as you would for your car. Then,
make sure you don't over-eat or under-eat, just like you wouldn't overflow your
gas tank or not give enough fuel to your car. Let's keep that in mind and start
to really work on this as you start to use some of the healthy eating tips I'm
about to mention.
There are some easy foods you can carry with you as
you run around doing your errands or while you are busy at work. Give these
food options a try:
1. Bag of mixed raw nuts: this is easy
to put together, easy to carry, and is rich in nutrients, minerals and
vitamins. The protein will help to sustain energy in your as you carry out your
long list of errands or while you are busy working.
2. Raw vegetables with hummus dip:
keeping this in a cooler in your car or in the fridge at your work can offer
you a healthy nutritious option for when you are craving finger foods and
something crunchy and savory.
3. Homemade Kale chips: taking kale and
laying them out on a baking sheet/tray and sprinkling spices or simply adding a
little bit of salt or pepper and baking it will give you an option of a healthy
crunchy snack when you are craving something like this. Many of my patients
will make a big batch on the weekend and eat it during the week.
4. Soups: I always have my patients
make a big vat of soup every week and the soup ingredients change every week
depending on what they are craving. The soup is usually made of a wide variety
of vegetables and some variation of lean protein or legumes. This way, when
they don't have time to cook, they can simply heat up some soup and it is a
hearty nutritious balanced meal or snack.
5. Raw or cooked vegetable pre-made
mixes: Many of my patients will roast vegetables over the weekend or cut up raw
vegetables and keep them in the fridge so that when they are hungry, they can
easily put together a salad or vegetable medley and potentially throw fruits or
nuts over them to have an easy nutritious snack or meal.
As you can see, I am a huge fan of preparing food on
weekends to eat during the week. The key is to keep healthy foods easily within
reach so that you don't go searching for junk food. So, as you get back into
the swing after the holidays, let's all ditch the sugary fatty holiday
leftovers and start back on track with healthy food options that will ensure a
healthier and leaner you by the holiday season of 2014!

When I first came see Dr. Weber, I had symptoms of
sharp, stinging and shooting pains in my left lower back several times a
day. My pain scale is a 12 on a 0 to 10
scale. My father suggested that I see
Dr. Weber for this condition. I had been
to other chiropractors for other conditions but did not get the results I
expected. Therefore, I was very
skeptical that chiropractic could help me.
My first impression of Dr. Weber was that his office was clean, quiet
and friendly. My results in doctor's
office showed much improvement in only a moderate amount of time. I would suggest anyone having back and/or leg
pain to go see Dr. Weber for their condition.

Chiropractic has been a part of my life since being
injured while playing collegiate sports.
Since it had been a year with pain and no treatment, I decided enough
was enough, and called Dr. Weber's office for an appointment. After a finding out what the problem was, Dr.
Weber explained things descriptively so that I could understand what the
options were and also the plan of action.
After several months of working with Dr. Weber and his program, my pain
has subsided to the point of rarely having any.
I would recommend to anyone having back problems to give chiropractic a
try. It has helped me tremendously, and
I feel that it can help others as well.
