Doctor, Doctor….Gimme the…..

…bovine tissue extracts???? WTF???

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Chiroquacktor, but this seems just a bit far fetched.

I’m now taking three new supplements as recommended by the good man - one contains bovine hypothalmus Cytosol extract, the other has porcine thymus Cytosol extract and the third has some herb called bladderwrack. Seriously. What the hell is this stuff????

All I can say is that I better notice $63 worth of a difference pretty damn quick, LOL.

I told him flat out that if I didn’t know better I’d think he was a quack - but everything he does is right on target and works. I’ve never been cracked, poked and prodded so much as I have been since my first visit on Saturday - and oddly enough, my back pain is gone, my shoulder no longer cracks and I’m sleeping better.

What fascinates and baffles me is how he figures this crap out in the first place - he moved my arm around a bit and then asked if I’d been stressed or sad lately - which was right on the money - I HAVE been a bit sad missing my close friends and family lately, and have been very stressed with work. I asked him how he could tell that, and he said my body told him.

I should also mention that in addition to being a fully licensed chiropractor, he’s also a Certified Applied Kinesiologist, nutritionist and also practices acupuncture.

Talk about weird science.

So, I finally found a new doc down here in Chicago…..out of necessity and a bad sinus infection, of course. It saddens me deeply to switch from my doc in Wisconsin who’s treated me for almost 20 years.

The good news; however, is that I absolutely love her. It’s not often that you get a good one on the first try, so I count myself lucky. I asked her about switching from my current synthetic T4 to a combination T3/T4 for my thyroid to see if it makes any noticeable difference. She was very open to my questions and concerns…I have a feeling this is just the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

She also referred me to a chiropractor, who I’m seeing tomorrow - can’t WAIT! My back has been bugging me for a few months now, so relief will be nice. The other nice thing is that he also does acupuncture and nutritional counseling, as well as refers many patients to a beautiful spa in Chicago for massage therapy.

My workouts have sucked lately - been mainly just doing cardio. Switching my gym membership from a single club to multiple locations, so that should help to deal with the summertime activity interference.

Diet has been decent, but can always use some improvement.

Other than that, life is GREAT!!!!! :)

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me…..

OK, so it was yesterday, LOL. Sadly, the celebrating already started on Saturday and will continue on through Sunday.

That means Monday morning is back to the straight and narrow and really sticking to my nutrition and workout plan faithfully. It’s a new year for me, and I plan on living it well and to the fullest. :)
