Why is The Center for The Good Life different? The philosophy here is Good Movement, Good Eating, and Good Thinking = The Good Life. I also focus very much on education and practice of great nutrition, fitness, and a positive happy attitude.
For nutrition, I teach my patients what REAL nutrition is. You would be very surprised what most people think is healthy. Believe me, no matter what your thinking right now is healthy I have at least some new insights for you. What is also great about this nutritional diet is that it DOES make sense to EVERYONE because it truly is simple. As soon as the veil is lifted you really do look at things in a completely different light. Most nutrition or health that most people have learned comes completely from marketing or other uncredible resources such as info. from other people who also thought they knew what they were talking about and told you. Believe me, health is very simple but society and ourselves tend to make it complicated.
Now, I said this style of nutritious diet is simple and it consists of food actually made from the earth and naturally. We are use to eating a traditional M.A.D. (Modern American Diet) and it is loaded with addictive chemicals and qualities. This makes the simplicity of a natural diet simple but not easy; we genuinely are addicted to chemicals and foods as badly as someone is addicted to tobacco. Because of this MAD style of eating, change is tough but very valuable because these food like substances and "modified" foods we have been eating are loaded with poisons and toxins. In the beginning stages of changing to a natural diet we literally go thru withdrawals and are detoxifying which can cause headaches and other symptoms. Like I said though this is very valuable because the MAD is the cause for all the Dis-Ease that we have from fatigue to IBS to MS to heart dis-ease to cancer (seriously). Most "primitive countries" don't have much of any of the dis-ease we have; they die from starvation, dehydration, infections, lack of cleanliness, etc. All things we have removed ourselves from. Yes, we get infections but we fight them off and are not exposed to nearly as many infecting agents because we have cleanliness and have removed ourselves from the overwhelming dangers of them. The main reason we get infections is because we poison our bodies and weaken it so that infecting agents move right in. Bacteria can only grow on dead or dying tissue. We literally are the inflicters of suffering and Dis-Ease on ourselves(both empowering and scary to realize).
I offer help getting back to health from a nutritional standpoint which includes education on what to eat, what to avoid, what is in what, how this affects you, how this helps you, etc. I also offer support group which is where everyone gets together just to share, learn, and offer suggestions with other people at different levels of the program. I also teach about being active, how much is good, how much is bad, what is good, what is bad, etc. You would be surprised at how much activity is GOOD(it's actually a range that varies for everyone but is similar and everyone can get at the GOOD level) and how much is BAD(yes, there is such a thing a overactivity).
Now onto Good Thinking. I am very much into personal development because it has made my life so much more fulfilled, positive, exciting, loving, peaceful, and happy. I am a big advocate for everyone growing as human beings. Some will say self-help is for wimps or losers and I really feel sorry for them because they have no idea what they are missing out on(really) and I hope that they find peace and fulfillment because they are clearly seeing the world in a negative way that hurts them and those around them. That is the focus of the class I offer at The Center for The Good Life.
The Class is challenging, so do not kid yourself. It is meant to have you grow and learn a lot at a realistic pace(not crammed into a weekend) so that you can learn and apply at a Good learning speed. Of course(as with anything) the more disciplined and focused you are the better the results. This is a class where you must be truly ready for it because if you come into it and are negative or lazy or very resistant then you will be negatively affecting the others in the class and you will be asked to leave and take the class when you are Really ready.
The class is called 8 Questions to The Good Life. It is 3 times/week for 4 weeks(like I said challenging and takes a real commitment). The first meeting of every week is a presentation by yours truly, the second meeting is a workshop, and the 3rd meeting is a field trip where we go out into the world and have a real experience and learn something you just can't learn in a room, but fun. This class is my baby and I get so excited even thinking about it, I feel my body shaking as I write this, YEAH! It is the accumulation of 1500 hours of reading, learning, applying, studying, practicing, writing, creating, and becoming happier and more fulfilled. This is the biggest thing that The Center offers that is way different then a typical chiropractic office because it's not chiropractic. It's personal development. A real opportunity to experience, view, see, and live life to its fullest. To share this with you is my greatest experience and to help as many people as possible live a full, complete, healthy, exciting, happier, inspiring, purpose-driven, awesome, excellent, extraordinary, outstanding, magnificent life is my passion, purpose, and one true goal in life!!!
Come start Living The Good Life!!!
Live Well and Feel Good,
Dr. Matt
