The great philosopher Ayn Rand presented the following idea that, to me, is the foundation of all health: whenever our life is incongruent on any level, we face some proportionate level of destruction. Life is dynamic – its an evolutionary system that is either growing forward and making progress or it is moving backwards. Nothing stays the same.

In wellness, we have to first work with a master who can help us see where in our life behaviors, structures, and perceptions we are incongruent. Any and all change requires a behavior shift, a perceptual shift and a structural shift. Everything is connected and everything matters. When our life choices are out of harmony with our deeper values , we experience pain, dis-ease and breakdown.

The latest research into sustained change and healing points to the fact that we need to bring all aspects of this triad of change into harmony – structure, perception, and behavior. Further, when we focus on our strengths and have the right coaching, guidance, and practices we can absolutely heal ourselves on every level. There is no doubt about this.

As a doctor of chiropractic and expert acupuncture practitioner here in Charlotte NC, I am driven by a deep burning desire to help you heal on every level. If all I did was take away your headaches, yet we didn’t learn what was beneath them, would I have really helped you? If all we accomplish is short term band aid and sacrifice your deep long term healing and personal growth, we have missed a golden opportunity to potentially “save your life”. There are lots of ways to save lives – my personal approach to this is healing on every level so you can maximize your internal well being, your internal resourcefulness and your ability to contribute to life. You can save your own life by making it a masterpiece. Master congruency in your life and you cannot help but have a masterpiece life – AND experience deep and lasting healing of your headaches, back pain, neck pain, and chronic fatigue.

We practice Re-Organizational Healing – meaning we honor the inherent need we all have to not only heal our symptoms but to learn from them and adapt and evolve as needed. Every pain, every challenge, every obstacle is instructive and adaptive. We live in a quick fix commercialized culture where we are lead to believe that health is the absence of symptoms. This is completely false. Health is the presence of life, awareness, vitality, self-regulation, congruence and is the optimal expression of this Health in physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions of our life.

Why settle for anything less? Its your life. There is nothing more precious than your health and wellness. Nothing.

Too many people die at age 40, and are not buried until they are 85!

What I love is that moving towards health, healing, and optimal human performance can be simple, affordable, and fun. I know, I practice this daily.

Pearls of Wisdom To Manifest True Health, Joy, and Unlimited Creativity

Aahhhh – Creativity. Joy. Health. If I were sitting with you in person, I’d ask this question: “Do you want more creativity, health and joy in your life?” If you were being honest, 99% of you would say, “Yes.” Even a healthy person who experiences high levels of health, joy and creativity desires much more.

Many people spend thousands of dollars every year seeking greater health, joy and creativity, often without attaining them. Why is this? Why is it that these basic tenets of a happy and fulfilled life are so difficult for most of us to attain, let alone sustain? If you had a choice to live an extraordinary life of freedom, flexibility & unlimited creativity, OR, to live a ‘normal’ life of mundane affairs, feeling tired, overwhelmed or stuck, which life would you choose? If you had tools laid at your feet to help you choose either life, what would you do?

If you are interested in living an extraordinary life, keep reading. If you are interested in living an ‘ordinary’ life, keep watching TV, keep listening to the media, and keep thinking you cannot obtain true creativity, health and joy.

Let’s start with a basic premise. You were born to manifest the destiny of your heart. You were born hard-wired to be joyful, radiant & vitally creative. You may think this is just some fluffy new-age jargon, and I assure you it is not. From quantum physics to the science of positive psychology, we now know that living an exceptional, dynamic life, is indeed possible. When you are whole, integrated and connected, you will express Life in all its beautiful dimensions.

So what happens? Why do most of us lose that child-like love of life, that spark of creativity? Why is it that in a room of 100 people, 1/3 will die of cancer, 1/3 will die of heart disease, and 1/3 will be diabetic? Why in that same room will 1 in 5 women be taking anti-depressants? Why is it that 80% will suffer from chronic pain? Why in that same room will a whole patchwork quilt of dreams be lost in the dark storage-house of the mind……..unmanifested?

I believe and feel certain (and I am not alone) that it is possible to not only have radiant health, but also boundless creativity and joy. It is simply WHO you are.

Here is the rub – STRESS. We all have it. You can’t get away from it. What you can do is significantly elevate your threshold for what stresses you out. You can completely ‘upgrade’ your nervous system, so you have no choice but to express radiant health, creativity & joy, even in the midst of life’s hardships.

We lose a vital connection to our innate wisdom and intelligence for healing, life, and creativity when stress adds up over the years. Your health and vitality become compromised, leading to dis-ease, breakdown, premature aging, hurt relationships & forgotten dreams. A landmark study at the University of London concluded that unmanaged reactions to stress were a more dangerous risk factor for cancer and heart disease than either cigarette smoking or high cholesterol foods!

The great news is that there are powerful tools available today, right here in Charlotte, to transform stress so that you can live a healthier, more joyous & more creative life than you ever thought possible These tools can absolutely change your life NOW. Dreams can be reached, patterns undone, your body healed and a more vitalistic you can unfold.

If you feel stuck in your life, if you feel the wight of stress, chronic pain, or feel like you have lost your creative spark, its time to do something about it. In most cases, these kinds of problems will not improve by themselves.

To learn more about how you can regain your healthy and creative edge, join us for a free workshop SEPTEMBER 29, 2010 7PM-9PM right in Myers Park @ 725 Providence Road suite 216. This seminar is limited to 12 people, and it will fill up so reserve your spot now by calling 704-909-7130.

If you have ever woken up to the teary eyes of your child screaming in pain from an ear infection, then keep reading. Or, perhaps you keep waking up to see your kids beautiful eyes filled with tears again because they have another ear infection….again.

Watch the video here if you are interested in safe, gentle, and drug and surgery free ways to not only help your child stop having ear infections but you would also like to boost their immune system so they are stronger, more resilient, miss less time from school and have fewer doctor visits.

Here are some of the biggest mistakes we make with our kids and their ear infections:

1. We give them antibiotics – again, and again, and again.
2. We feed our kids in a way that make them prone to infections
3. We get tubes implanted when we don’t really need to
4. We think it is a normal part of childhood
5. We forget that a strong and vibrant immune system is your child’s natural state

So, what can we do? Ideally, we don’t just want our kids to NOT have ear infections, we want them to have OPTIMAL and RADIANT HEALTH. We want them to enjoy life, succeed, thrive, and BE the EXTRAORDINARY little humans that they are, while enjoying each moment to the max. That is what we want. Below, lets look at how we can do that.

1. Understand the things (AKA Immuno-Toxins) that cause problems with your child’s immune system. These are 1) Smoking, drinking, or drug use during pregnancy; 2) Prescription or over the counter drugs while pregnant; 3) Pain relieving drugs during labor; 4) Childhood over vaccination; 5) Childhood use of antibiotics; 6) childhood exposure to heavy metals and pesticides.
2. Clean up the diet. Get rid of processed junk and sugars. Stop using sugar as a bargaining tool or to make friends with your kids – if you want to significantly freak yourself out about the hazards of sugar, please go to http://www.nancyappleton.com/NA144reasons.html for 144+ scientific articles on how sugar can ruin your child’s
(and your) life.
3. Stop over medicating: study after study has shown that continual antibiotic use actually paves the way for more infections and causes antibiotic resistant bacteria! A great study from the Netherlands looked at 240 kids over a 2 year period. When the kids had inner ear infections they were prescribed a placebo OR amoxycillin. The kids on the antibiotics still had symptoms after 4 days and only 13% had less symptoms of pain. There were no differences in pain duration, crying, or ear exam findings. Another double blind with 171 kids study looked at surgery, antibiotics, and doing nothing in order to treat ear infections. There was no difference between the groups in terms of pain, discharge, temperature, hearing loss, or ear exam findings.
4. Your child’s spine and posture is an incredible indicator of how often they will get sick and get ear infections. An 18 year study of 4600 cases of Upper Respiratory Infections found that when the upper neck vertebrae were not moving properly, ear infections occurred. When the spine motion was restored, further complications did not develop. Another study showed that 46 kids receiving gentle chiropractic care for ear infections did very well – 93% of cases improved, with 75% within 10 days and 43% with only 1 or 2 adjustments.
5. Chiropractic care improves drainage through the Eustachian tube. Implantation of tubes is only needed when there is an abnormally shaped tube. Gentle chiropractic adjustments improve the flow of drainage and therefore help heal and reduce the risk of ear infections.
6. Gentle chiropractic for babies and kids is an amazing tool to radically boost and supercharge immune function. A stronger immune function means less sick days, healthier, happier, and more vibrant kids. It also means less drugs, less prescriptions, and fewer doctor visits.

Stress in kids, poor diet, and poor posture keep the nervous system and spine locked in a loop which slows the drainage form the ears and decreases immune function. Clean up the diet, find great tools for stress, and heal posture and spine problems and you can say good bye to late night wake ups from your crying little angel.

Network Spinal Analysis, AKA Network Chiropractic, is an exceptionally gentle approach with none of the cracking, twisting, and popping associated with “traditional” chiropractic. Kids and moms love it.

80% of Americans will experience low back pain at some point. I think most so-called “back pain treatment” completely misses the mark. Most “treatments” try to just get rid of your pain without really understanding the underlying causes. In fact, when we do this, we set up ourselves for 1) recurrent pain; 2) being “dependent” on procedures go get us out of pain; 3) for missing the gift that our pain can show us. Worse, most Americans get hooked on drugs to quell the pain. Yikes! There is hope. Listen to Angie. She gets it. She listened to her body.

And here is another thing to chew on – chances are your pain is actually a symbol of deeper problems in your body – problems that are likely to also be one of the causes the main killers in America – Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Stroke. Problems that skyrocket health care and fill our medicine cabinet with toxic drugs. Problems that zap your ability to play with your kids and enjoy the spring in Charlotte. Problems that rob your smile.

I interview a practice member here on how they have not only healed their low back pain, but how she has massively shifted how she feels about herself, her life, and how she is showing up. Dr. Lyon and Angie have a candid discussion on healing and moving into our zone of genius in life. Who would have thought?!

As the great psychologist Dr. Carl Jung said, “The gold is in the dark.” There may be a whole lot more to your pain than you ever realized! The gold is amazing health, energy, a radiant presence, a flexible spine, and focused, happy mind.

What if your pain was simply a call to a deeper level of healing where you could not only heal your pain, but also dramatically reduce your stress, feel more clear about who you are, and find more joy, passion, happiness, calmness, and serenity.

Angie is an amazing example that you can absolutely heal your body, reverse the effects of the aging process AND leap into your zone of genius, happiness, and optimal well-being in a short period of time at a fraction of the cost of most other procedures (acupuncture, massage, traditional chiropractic, and medical procedures).

And who does not want that? Who does not want more health, more energy, more joy, more gratitude, more creativity, and more connection?

And, my friends, this is not some “new age fad” or some “off the wall” treatment procedure. This is a scientifically validated approach utilizing the latest knowledge of neuroscience, neuro-plasticity, and body-mind medicine to create reliable and dramatic shifts in your physical, mental, and emotional health. And best of all, its safe, affordable, and does not include drugs, surgery, expensive procedures, or twisting, cracking, and popping associated with traditional chiropractic.

Love and wellness,

Dr. Matt

Headaches. Having headaches IS a headache. And I know personally how awful chronic headaches can be. I used to get them DAILY. That is right DAILY. And I was supposed to know everything about health and wellness. Oops.

Its funny, when we were in school learning about all the different types of headaches – sinus headaches, tension headaches, cluster headaches, migraine headaches, cerebral vascular accident headaches…and all of this is valid. And, in my clinical experience the vast majority of headaches have NOTHING to do with your head.

That’s right, most headaches don’t have a lot to do with your head. Sure, your head hurts, your muscles in your jaw and at the base of your skull are tense, but the causes are farther upstream. In my estimation, aside from the scary boogey-men of headaches (tumors, strokes, etc), 80-90% of headaches are stress related. In fact, one recent study stated that 90% of most doctor visits are stress related.

So, no we are swimming a bit upstream – stress. Stress goes into the nervous system and creates a tension loop that leads to poor posture, muscle tension, strain on the spinal cord, heightened pain sensitivity, decreaed ability to handle stress, and an imbalanced immune system. All of these factors play into headaches.

For all of you smart folks who are wondering about chemical senitivities – you are RIGHT! Chemical stress, pollution, allergies – these are also forms of stress! Much of it we can’t get away from, but we sure can improve the water we drink the food we eat, and the environment of our home and car. And, the lowest common denominator of help heal the effects of chronic chemical stress is still addressing the spine.

I won’t belabor the point. Just remember what Hippocrates said (he was the Founder of modern Medicine) “Look first to the spine in health and disease.” Wow, you would have thought Hippocrates was a chiropractor! Or, perhaps, he knew what we know and that the master controller of everything is your brain and nervous system and that stress creates interference to this system which creates things like headaches.

One more thing – people with headaches RARELY just have headaches. They often also feel spacey, brain fogged, dull, they might feel some memory problems, have trouble with sleeping, have seasonal allergies, snoring problems, ringing in the ears, and itchy eyes. How is that? These are the other “symptoms” that show up when we have interference in the upper cervical spine due to unresolved stress.

Big picture – Heal the stress that is causing your defense posture and heal your pain while creating an amazing life with more energy, clarity, focus, joy, and happiness.

Love and wellness,

Dr. Matt

PS – Here is what one very happy practice member just shared with us: “Network Spinal Analysis care is gentle yet deep, working not only my physical body, but my mental and spiritual body as well. Something I noticed the first couple of weeks of care was that my headaches had gone from 3-4 a week to maybe once a week and with much less intensity. Headaches were so much a part of my life, that I truly didn’t think anything would really work to make them go away for good. I’m happy to say I’ve worked with Dr. Lyon for about 4 months now, and can’t recall my last headache. Now that’s a miracle!! Thank you Dr. Lyon and Lynn!!‎”

Dr. Matt Lyon of Charlotte Chiropractic Office talks about one of the most critical aspects of your health – your posture!

Dr. Lyon is an in-demand doctor and speaker who teaches in Europe and North America and empowers people to transform and awaken to a healthy, purposeful, and happy life with a quality of life beyond their wildest dreams.

So, you want to eat better? You want to lose weight? You want to feel great? People ask me fairly often – how do you have so much energy all of the time? First, my nervous system is clear and clean thanks to Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration. I practice yoga about an hour every morning. And I eat LOTS of fruits and veggies (RAW) every day. AND – I know what not to eat and I DON’T EAT IT!

Here is the simple list. Stay away from these, and you are taking a quantum in your health:

1) NO hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated oils (trans-fats)

2) NO High Fructose Corn Syrup

3) NO artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, fragrances & preservatives

4) No food with antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones, or animal by products

5) No bleached or bromated flour

6) NO sodas

7) NO processed foods at all, any time

No fast foods (McDonalds, BK, Arby’s etc).

OK kids, so keep it simple. Eat simple and live simple. Have fun. Be Outstanding. Love big. Play Full out. Live like you mean it.

Oh yeah, some great books on food: Healthy at 100, Omnivores Dilemma, Food Rules

‘Tis the season for happy holidays, festive new years, and yes, the flu. We have a flue season every year. This year is slightly different in that we also have the presence of the H1N1 flu virus (AKA the Swine Flue) floating in our presence.

Now, all the research so far has told us that the swine flue virus is not as string as the typical seasonal flu. Having said that, the Swine Flu is on every one’s mind and its important to know how to deal with it effectively, safely, and naturally.

Recommendations for your immune system

My first recommendation – I would avoid any of the vaccines. There is so much information out there on vaccination pros and cons and I don’t want to get into too much of that here. I will say that since the swine flu is weaker than the seasonal flu it does not make sense to take a vaccine that has a questionable safety record and relatively limited research behind it. So, if you are comfortable with it, skip the vaccine and build up your immune system form within. (This is a HOT topic for debate and plenty of information out there to help you make an informed decision). If you are not comfortable with this idea that is fine, just realize the recommendations below need to be followed anyways as having the vaccine in no way guarantees you won’t get the swine flu.

So, how do we do that? How do we optimize our health from within using our amazing inborn innate capacity for health and flu busting? I’ll outline 7 steps below that I believe are absolutely key. By the way, when in doubt about what to do, contact a health care provider you trust and create a plan that works for you.

Step 1) Your nervous system is the master controller of your body. Your nervous system is constantly communicating with the 75 trillion++ cells in your body. This communication is imperative in an optimal immune response. Your nerve system is housed in your spine. Stress, injury, and poor lifestyle habits leads to subluxations of the spine which leads to stress of the nervous system which leads to decreased nerve function. This, my friends, compromises our immune response. So, clear your spine from damage that has been done, learn to stop recreating problems in the future, and voila, we have an amazing self healing self correcting system. Its a simple concept with amazing results. To fight off viral and bacterial invaders you NEED a strong immune system a whole heck of a lot more than you need an exogenous vaccine! Did I say it feels GREAT to have a clear nervous system? Find an amazing and principled vitalistic chiropractor and stay well-adjusted!

2) Get plenty of rest. Depending on how old we are, how we live, and our unique constitution, we need to sleep about 6-9 hours per night. When we say sleep, we mean good sleep. You need to have restful sleep every night so that your body can regenerate and re-organize. Many of us go into sleep debt over time with work, kids, stress, and poor diet and our vital reserves run low. When we are out of gas, we can’t fight off illness.

3) Eat as if your life depended on it. In fact, it does. Keep it really really simple. Avoid white sugars, fast foods, anything you can’t pronounce, anything with artificial anything, trans fats, and anything that looks or tastes like it was created in a lab. Eat good grains and carbs – brown rice, quinoa, etc. Eat healthy proteins such as lean and organic meats. Get good fats in your system and don’t believe the hype that fat free is healthy. You need good fats such as Omega 3, 6, and 9 in your diet. Good resources of this are Udo’s Oil. Nature’s fast food is fruit. When you are on the go and you need a bo0st, eat fruit. Have veggies with every meal – lots of different colors. Eat local if you can and avoid anything processed. You will start to feel awesome. My family and I take a great supplement called Juice Plus to make sure we get everything we need. It is the most well-researched supplement in the world today.

4) Drink water. Simple – drink about your body weight in ounces every day. You are 70% water and you need to replenish every day. This is absolutely critical. If you feel slightly thirsty, its too late. Your immune system requires good hydration.

5) Exercise daily- this pumps your blood, lymph, and sweat. It feels great, builds your immunity, helps transform stress, and improves just about every single thing about your life. So, as Nike says, JUST DO IT! Enjoy it, and have fun. My personal favorite book on the subject is Strength For Life by Sean Phillips.

6) Take time every day to bust stress – yoga, meditation, deep breathing, talking to friends. We all got it and stress will tank your immune system pretty darn quick. So, learn to transform stress into something positive and powerful. Give the news and internet a break. Be grateful. Smile. Love and be loved. Sounds trite, but it makes a HUGE difference.

7) Cover your mouth, wash your hands, take a break from super crowded places. Use common sense. Public health precautions are much more powerful than expensive medical procedures.

If you or your family gets sick here are some general guidelines: if there is a fever, let it run its course as this is your body’s amazing way to fight invaders. A fever is your natural antibiotic, so don’t try to lower it artificially. Now, if the fever gets high – above 104, see your health care provider. Get in to see your family chiropractor and get adjusted daily if you can. This will help your immune system supercharge and help you recover faster. If you can, get  oscillococcinum, a natural homeopathic flu remedy. As far as herbals go, I like andrographis for quick help. Not only is this herb antiviral, it also boosts the immune response. With regard to supplements, I like chlorella and food based vitamin C. In general, rest, lots of fluid with electrolytes is the best way to go. Gatorade is filled with sugar and artificial colors, so avoid it if you can. I like homemade ginger lemonade with a dash of sea salt. As you can tolerate it, fresh homemade vegetable and fruit juices are very powerful.

You can be healthy through the flu season. Also, keep in mind, its OK to get sick every now and then – it helps your immune system build immunity and stay strong. Don’t beat yourself up if you or your family gets sick, just do your best to let mother nature do her work without too much interference. The Power that made the body heals the body – it happens no other way.

So, I had a great question from a patient. If I do yoga all the time, should I still get my spine checked and cleared of interference and stress?

I LOVED the question.

Yoga is an amazing tool. I know it well and have been practicing aspects of yoga for nearly 20 years. I have taught yoga. I have lived its principles, and still do. It is an incredible resources to help you feel great, heal yourself, and bring more of who you are into the world.

Yoga has many aspects – and some of those include the physical postures that we think of when we think of yoga. These postures are wonderful to stretch our muscles, connective tissue, ligaments, joints, and minds. Yoga provides a tremendous way to dramatically improve our breathing capacity which has tremendous spillover effects into our health and life. Like any physical activity, yoga does come with wear and tear on the body. Yoga is probably my number one recommendation for a health and exercise regiment that improves strength, increases flexibility, and builds stamina WHILE dramatically reducing the effects of stress on our bodies. There is a TON of good research on this.

Having said all of that, I have worked with LOTS of yogis who have injured themselves during their practice. Furthermore, I have worked with many a souls who simply cannot fully engage in a yoga practice because there has been so much damage over a lifetime to their bodies and spines. Before they can even safely enter into yoga, many of these folks need to experience healing in their spines and a healing of the damage done before they can safely engage in a yoga practice.

Now, here is the beauty of vitalistic chiropractic and vitalistic yoga = the benefits never stop. As we continue our yoga practices, we should stick with it week in, week out. There is no cieling on how far you can go with it and the dramatic effects it can have on your life.

The same goes for keeping a clear spine free from interference. The nervous system is the master controller that controls *everything* in our bodies. When our spines are clear we can heal pain, transform stress, and experience more clarity, vitality, energy, focus, gratitude, and purpose. We connect easily with ourselves and others and naturally feel ourselves flowing with life, rather than against it. Who would not want more flexibility, ease, grace, connection, and focus in life? The answer is obvious – if you are even remotely sane, you would want a whole lot more that goodness. So, keep your spine clear and have it checked by a vitalistic chiropractor to see where you can grow and improve and heal. The benefits are awesome.As our spines stay clear, our yoga improves and as our yoga improves we need less and less spine care. We get healthy and STAY healthy for a lifetime.

Real wellness and health are all about feeling empowered. You WANT to feel in charge of your health and you want to feel you can access resources inside of you whenever you need to feel great, break through personal barriers and to live your dream life. The combination of yoga and viatlistic chiropractic are amazing at creating empowerment from within.

Yoga and chiropractic share a beautiful philosophy. Health, radiance, and vitality come from “Above, Down and Insid, Out” What that means is that the health and vitality we seek comes form inside of us and through our connection to Source. These to wellness applications are the most efficient and fastest route to an empowered, clear, healthy, and happy body and mind.

We likely need to go through a period of clearing and healing, but with sweet practices like yoga, we can keep getting better and better and better all the time.

Here’s to your health and your personal empowerment.

Namaste,

Dr. Matt Lyon
