Intro - A bit about me
I’d like to first write a bit about me as I think that it’s important for you as the reader to know.
I’m currently a chiropractic student going to Logan University (College of Chiropractic). I’m currently 3 semesters into the program and it’s a 10 semester program. I’ve become very interested in nutrition and working out and like to learn as much about them as possible. I’m very open to ideas that may differ from the general public which is partly why I’ve created this blog.
I’ve created this blog for a few reasons:
- Seems the general public is misled in many aspects of health and nutrition and I’d like to straighten things out with some blogs and hopefully many resources to back up my findings.
- There is too much false information out there that people think is healthy for them when it is actually doing their body more harm than good. These being vitamins and supplements and I will try to get into these topics as soon as possible.
- I’d like to inform people about workouts that almost anyone can do, whether you are in shape, out of shape, over-weight, etc. I want to inform my readers what can get them in the best shape of their lives as quickly as possible.
- Diets - Seems everyone wants to know about diets? Is Atkins good? Is Southbeach good? What should I do? “I can’t even stick to a diet! UGH!” I know the feeling guys. I’ve been there done that. I will help point you in the proper direction.
- Stress and time management - This is a big deal when it comes to healthy living and hopefully I can give you the proper tools needed to transform unhealthy lifestyles into healthy ones.
- And more! I’ll be talking about my life going through chiropractic school and how I deal with my stresses, how I plan out my meals, how I get my workouts done when I barely have time to, etc. I will show you what’s possible when you have the proper tools.
Moving away from the focus of this blog, I’d like to start telling you a bit more about me. Like I mentioned, I’m a student going to Logan. I’m also a web designer (hey, couldn’t tell?) and have 3 sites (this is now my 4th). On my larger site, numerous people have posted asking about “how do I get buff”, or “how do I get in shape”, etc. which is pretty much why this blog is starting now. I found that I kept repeating myself in all the threads and everyone seemed to be waiting for what I had to say on the topic. I wanted a site with all my ideas, research, diets, recipes (hopefully in the near future), meal plans, etc. all in one location for everyone to read and aid them into leading healthier lifestyles.
I’d like to relate to most of my readers. I’m one of those who got to college, gained that freshman 15…and then some. After doing research and learning more about healthier living once I got to Logan, I figured now is the best time to start living healthy. Your health can’t wait people. I’ll present multitudes of research showing why we all need to get up and exercise, why we need to eat more whole foods, organic foods, and stay away from processed food, why we need to reduce our stress levels, and why we need to better manage our time. I want to show people that you don’t have to be “in shape now” to start living healthy. My Dad is damn near 50 years young and he’s taken my advice after all those years of living unhealthy and has lost around roughly 20 lbs in just a few months. He says he feels young again! And I want my readers to know it doesn’t matter what your age is, there’s information here for you.
