This blog is written from a Chiropractic physician’s perspective. It is a collection of my reflections on the human side of medical science, our social and cultural interactions, doctor-patient relationships, communication, and technology.

Always thoughtful, and sometimes irreverent, my observations of human physiology and behavior reflect my love for people.

Ideas shared here are based upon current scientific information about Human Fitness, Nutrition, and Wellness. My intention is to share reliable information that the reader can use to make sound Healthcare decisions for you and your family.

Explore the site and please join in the social media conversations. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours in Health,

– Dr. Hal

It always sounded like the changes of aging took place gradually over time. It may have, however, just been my wishful thinking. Holding out a hope that I would be exempt from such speedy declines….

    Thoughts on Plateauing
    I know it sounds like the latest in adventure exercise but plateauing is just our body’s built-in way of defining optimal function. We, of course, think we know better but Nature still asserts its dominance in our physiology. Or does it? “I’ll Take Plateauing for $200, Alex” I was introduced to the experience of plateauing…

    Being Difficult: A Healthy Lifestyle the Hard Way
    Keeping with an exercise plan, or any healthy lifestyle choice for that matter, is difficult. For every reason we have to do something good for ourselves, we can always come up with loads of reasons to not do it. The weather is too hot/cold/rainy to go outside… I ate a carrot stick yesterday, so I…
