Release the Grip of Traditional Medicine

I want to start this by making it clear that I am not trying to demonize traditional medicine. Clearly, there is a place for medications, surgeries, and general medical medicine practice.

The principle idea for this blog is to help you understand that there are other options in regards to taking care of your health.

Millions upon millions of dollars are spent every single day by big Pharma to make sure that you are constantly bombarded with advertisements stating that they have the next best medication for whatever seems to ail you. It is amazing how happy every one of those actors are on the big screen, simply because they started taking this miracle drug to block or hide all of their symptoms.

As far as business marketing goes, I would say big Pharma are geniuses. They control the health care market, and they have created a health care system that seems to only have ONE method of treatment, pharmaceuticals. We have no connection to the adverse affects of medications and the traditional medical system.

As I scan through the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, some of the numbers are pretty alarming.

Did you know:

• The average person ages 65 to 69 take almost 14 prescriptions
• Those over 80 take nearly 18 prescriptions
• 15-25% of medications used by seniors have been considered unnecessary or even inappropriate
• Medical related problems or accidents cost the US $177.4 Billion, yes Billion, a year
• Adverse drug reactions is among the top 5 greatest threats to the health of seniors
• Each year, 32,000 seniors suffer hip fractures from medication-related problems
• "Any symptom in an elderly patient should be considered a drug side effect until proven otherwise." -- J. Gurwitz et al. Brown University

There are many more interesting stats to be noted, but you can go to the site above and check it out for yourself.

As I mentioned earlier, the traditional medical system is necessary, but I encourage you to try and understand that it is not necessarily the best choice for your initial method of care. Chronic conditions are addressed with medications as the initial plan of care, and it should not be this way. Low back pain is quickly addressed with muscle relaxers and opiate pain medications, this should not be the case.

Diet and lifestyle based conditions like high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity are addressed with synthetic medications to cover up the symptoms, instead of the doctor taking the time to address the root cause of these condition to prevent them.

Try Alternative Medicine First

This blog is to encourage each of you to further explore into the alternative medicine avenue.

The true beauty of alternative/holistic care, is that is will actually follow the Hippocratic Oath, "If at least, I will do no harm".

Holistic medicine such as

• Massage Therapy
• Chiropractic Therapy
• Nutritional Supplementation
• Herbal Supplementation
• Reiki
• Yoga

Will not only work to restore your health, it will do it without causing any harm to your body.

Dr. Mercola, a renowned holistic healthcare practitioner  wrote an article called
Chiropractors and Exercise Are Better than Drugs Says New Study

---

I encourage you to read this to help understand the difference between allowing the traditional medical system be your initial treatment option, or holistic healthcare.

The truth is, whether you are a senior or not, you know someone that is. You will be some day, and your health today affects you then. If you can start to take control of your health without dependence on a medication regimen, your health will benefit in the long haul. Hopefully you can minimize the prescription levels, and hopefully, if we can start to see the trend in alternative medicine, we can reduce the 25% of unnecessary medications prescribed to the senior citizens.

Regardless of the symptom that you start to have. If you have been diagnoses with a chronic condition, find a holistic provider and just get a second opinion with their treatment options. If they can keep you off of a single medication, your health will benefit.

3 Years and Some Change

The birth of New-Start Health Center came in late March 2012. Upon graduating for Palmer College of Chiropractic, Florida in December 2011, I set out to create a health center that bases its principles around changing what you think and know about the medical system. With a strong grasp on Evidence-Based Chiropractic Care and an evolving knowledge on nutritional therapy, tying the two holistic medicine approaches together would be the premise of New-Start Health Center.

The first year was definitely the most difficult. Opening a business that is designed to go against the grain is never easy. Fresh out of college, I definitely felt on my own. There are many chiropractic management companies that are designed to help young businesses get off the ground, but I wanted to pioneer something unique. The primary disconnect for myself and chiropractic management companies is the overall feeling of chiropractic in our society. We have all heard the horror stories of going to a chiropractor, “once you go you have to go forever” or “they spend 2 minutes with you and just crack your back”. Trying to change the mind of the majority on how New-Start is a different style of chiropractic. Evidence-Based Chiropractic does not X-ray every patient. We treat pain syndromes and we release them from care. I spend about 12-15 minutes with every patient, minimum. This is a dramatic change to the stereotypical chiropractic visit.

Treating low back pain, headaches, knee pain, etc, has is rewards, but the current epidemic in the US with obesity and diabetes is something I have become drawn to. As I stated, an evolving knowledge on nutritional therapy, I have spent countless hours in a biochemistry book, in seminars, and scouring the internet for research studies to figure out exactly what is going wrong. The common medical practices for diabetes and obesity have fallen short. We are getting sicker, fatter, and unhealthier at a faster rate than ever previously recorded. Unfortunately, healthcare costs are also at an all-time high and climbing quickly. In the anecdotal world, the treatment of conditions starts with covering up the symptoms, and with low back pain, or migraines, this is not detrimental. When you start to use this approach toward an inflammatory condition like Diabetes or Obesity, more problems arise.

After years of research it seems, 5 or 6 book starters, I am proud to be writing a book called, How Health Comes Apart. The idea behind this book is the primary focus of the nutritional therapy side of New-Start Health Center. I am writing my research to change America’s way of thinking about our obesity epidemic.

In three years, New-Start Health Center has been all about change. Change how chiropractic is viewed and utilized. Change how we diagnose and treat obesity and diabetes, and change how medical systems define success. The first three years in the Columbus area have been encouraging, insightful, and rewarding.  I am proud to be a part of the maturity of New-Start Health Center, and with many more years to come, to continue to change for the better.

Chiropractic Care in Columbus, Made Simple...

As many of my readers understand, I spend the majority of my time trying to introduce a new spin on many of the health care options that we have at our disposal in the US. As a Board Certified Chiropractor, I spend a lot of time tying to explain the changes that the profession has made. As any profession, technology improves, research tightens, and clinical results are evident. With this innovation to the field of chiropractic, I am proud to say that I stay abreast the most current findings and research to provide the most cutting edge, and effective form of chiropractic care that Columbus, Indiana has to offer. I hope I help you gain some understand of what the therapy at New-Start Health Center entails.

To start this blog series, I want you to think about this first question?

Have you ever wondered what the top reasons that Americans seek medical attention? 
The MayoClinic released a study to figure that exact thing out. 

Here are the following results of the study if you do not wish to read the whole thing...

1. Skin disorders, including cysts, acne and dermatitis.
2. Joint disorders, including osteoarthritis.
3. Back problems.
4. Cholesterol problems.
5. Upper respiratory conditions.
6. Anxiety, bipolar disorder and depression.
7. Chronic neurologic disorders.
8. High blood pressure.
9. Headaches and migraines.
10. Diabetes.

---

Two of the top three conditions that drive us into a medical office are joint pains, and back problems. Typical medical practices for these conditions are:

• Steroid medications
• Steroid injections
• Muscle relaxers
• Pain medications
• NSAIDs

The issue I struggle with is discussing the efficacy, or effectiveness of this medical practice. The simple reason we seek medical attention for these conditions is PAIN RELIEF!!

Well, lets be honest, we also want to make sure that it is cost effective to relieve that pain. Spending a fortune on repeated steroid injections is not that appealing.

Well, as I stated before, I stay on top of the research that shows true improvements in treatment options for conditions like back pain,  neck pain, Fibromyalgia, etc.

I understand that most are not interested in reading these long winded studies, so I have just scoured the internet for some facts that will help.

From WEBMD.com Click here to read the entire article

Costs Down, Patient Satisfaction Up With Chiropractic CareCompared with doctor-only health plans, the study found that:

• Chiropractic care cut the cost of treating back pain by 28%.
• Chiropractic care reduced hospitalizations among back pain patients by 41%.
• Chiropractic care reduced back surgeries by 32%.
• Chiropractic care reduced the cost of medical imaging, such as X-rays or MRIs, by 37%

---

As you can see, it is not hard to understand how effective and life changing chiropractic care can be. It is just a hidden secret to most.

Evidence-Based Chiropractic is the future of this profession. We treat pain symptoms with more time and effectiveness than traditional forms of chiropractic care. It is an integration within the medical community to stop bantering back and forth about the potential dangers of each. It is about unifying our medical community, making sure the one goal is in order, patient care.

There are many Americans that deal with back and neck pain every single day with little to zero hope of it going away. Maybe they mask the symptoms with medications. Maybe they have had a bad experience with traditional chiropractic. Maybe they have underwent an unsuccessful surgery.

There is hope. A clear understanding of the biomechanical functions within the body, is what all physicians need to have to attack this epidemic of back and neck pain.

After all, it is 2 of the top 3 reasons we seek medical attention.

To make it simple, Chiropractic Can Help. It has been proven to do so.

Doctors that listen, Care

symp·tom

n.

A subjective indication of a disorder or disease, such as pain, nausea, or weakness

The current medical system has set itself up in a way to minimize the amount of time a physician spends with a patient. It is a simple concept. Too many sick people, too many cases, and not enough time for doctors to cover them all.

Unfortunately this has led our health status into a melting pot of undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, over tested, under analyzed patients. So many physicians do not have time to spend taking a thorough history, so instead of listening to the concerns and complaints of a patient, and going through all of the symptomatology that the patient presents with, it is common to order an excessive amount of unnecessary tests to come up with a diagnosis.

While attending Palmer College of Chiropractic, I learned the most valuable thing about being a physician.

80% of our diagnosis should come from the history of the patient. We need to speak to patients for as long as it takes to come up with a very concise decision that supports the indication to do additional testing.

If you look back at the top of this article, you will see that the very definition of a symptom explains it perfectly. Symptoms are a SUBJECTIVE indication of a disease or dysfunction. Listen to what the patient is saying, but more importantly understand how the body works so you can utilize the information that is given during a thorough history.

The process of coming up with an accurate diagnosis of a patient starts with a physician’s understanding of the human body. There is absolutely no cookie cutter flow chart to be followed that will work on every single patient. Certain dysfunctions can be expressed differently in every patient, but you have to dig deeper.

When a patient discusses a symptom, it is just the tip of the iceberg. You have to know everything about that symptom. You have to know which questions to ask and how to interpret the responses. 

Lets go through a scenario:

A 39 year old female patient presents with mid to low back pain.

Symptom: back pain.

Some physicians will immediately lean toward an X-ray to rule out things. Some might automatically prescribe a muscle relaxer. NSAIDs are always suggested. Maybe ice, massage, or even electric stimulation.

Chiropractors are famous for immediately linking to a spinal subluxation and an adjustment will fix it up.

What questions should be asked?

Location of the back pain? How long has it been going on? Does anything relieve it or make it worse? All physicians understand the whole OPPQRST bit, but do they use it?

Is a kidney exam indicated? Gall Bladder stones? Lumbar disc derangement? Did they fall and break a rib? Diverticulitis?

The point I am trying to make is this; a symptom as simple as back pain can have many different diagnoses. There is any amount of testing that you can order to search for the correct condition. The true physician will minimize the cost to a patient by ruling out some of the differential diagnoses, and minimize any testing required.

Pain is definitely the most common symptom that encourages a person to seek medical attention. Low back pain being number one in the US.

The symptom of pain seems to be the one hardest to deal with, the hardest for a patient to overlook, but there are so many more symptoms that must be analyzed by a physician that is seeking a true diagnosis. Symptoms like, restless at night, weight gain, low body temperature, elevated pulse, frequent urination, and so many more are how the body expresses its state of health.

The body will tell a physician a story. They just have to listen to it. More importantly, they must not look at any patient with a predetermined mentality of what is wrong. This is how a misdiagnosis happens.

The most common complaint that I hear from patients is that their primary physician doesn’t really listen to them.

Has this ever happened to you?

It is probably not the physician’s fault. They work in a health system with too many sick people, and unfortunately, testing is profitable and major hospitals are a business. All business’s like making profit, so the more testing they order, the more money they make.

I like to be a cost effective physician, but even more so, I like to be accurate. It is not hard to come up with a diagnosis if you just listen, and ask the right questions. I order tests when needed. I order imaging if necessary. They are NEVER my primary source of coming up with a diagnosis. I run at about a 90% rate of using diagnostic testing to confirm what I already determined from a thorough history. I only test if my safe, non-invasive treatment plan is not providing the results I think the patient deserves. Physicians have to start being fair, and not going beyond their expertise.

The New-Start Difference

We analyze symptoms, or objective findings to conclude a status of health. The system is designed to save money on unnecessary testing for a condition that is indicated with simple symptoms. At New-Start, all we need to know is exactly how you feel. What symptoms you are suffering from. We use this to give you a very thorough description of your health status.

If you are interested in learning more about how New-Start is changing the health care system, feel free to schedule a FREE consultation with me. It could change your life.

If you want to know how healthy you are, fill this entire quiz out as accurate as you can, and The New-Start Solution will give you a very concise report on where your health stands.

The Scary World of Weight Loss

The world of weight loss is scary.

I want to introduce you to the one of the most RIDICULOUS things I have ever read. It was brought to my attention that I need to look at the ABC Diet. As a warning, This diet is based on a pro-anorexia template.

Feel free to look it up at abc-diet.com.

This is a dangerous, ultra-low calorie diet that is designed for dramatic weight loss. Ironically, you can see at the bottom of the page, The Risk Factors.

Granted, this is a gross example of what under eating calories can do to the body, but realistically, it is all the same. If you diet in a form of just under eating calories by skipping meals, or eating two carrots, and a mini Snickers per day, these risk factors are relevant.

I have written a lot on the topic of weight loss, and tried to teach as many people as I can about the epidemic of obesity in our country. Some listen, receive the information, and make some drastic life changes to ensure they are healthier and enjoy their life to its fullest. Some, on the other hand, hear me, understand what I am saying, but are just not driven enough to take the necessary changes that it takes to lose weight. The vast majority or the patients I see, unfortunately, already know what is causing their weight issues, but try to look beyond it and dive headfirst into some whimsical fat loss miracle pill that will cure all of their weight problems and never have to change a thing with their diet or lifestyle.

The real issue is that there are so many within the weight loss industry that are just out to make a quick buck and sell as much of the newest gimmick product as they can before they close the doors and erase any traceable evidence that they even existed.

I constantly research and study biochemistry, and I fluently understand the many metabolic pathways that are involved in fat reduction, or losing healthy weight. The majority of people think that weight loss is all about CALORIES. I am sure you have read that if you eat 3500 less calories than you burn, you will lose 1 pound. This is completely untrue. Losing weight is so driven toward the scale, that the entire weight loss industry has lost sight of what is really important. How much you weight on a scale has no regard to your total health spectrum. Body fat percentage, muscle percentage, total water percentage, and your BMI are important. If you diet plan is not driven to lose FAT tissue ONLY, then you are not on the right diet.

Resting Metabolic Rate, or RMR, Basal Metabolic Rate, BMR, and Total Energy Expenditure, TEE, are the real caloric factors that you should be looking at. If you want to lose weight, you need to make sure you don’t decrease your RMR by losing muscle tissue or you will simply shut down your thyroid gland, and all of your metabolic function. The only way to increase your systemic RMR metabolism is to increase muscle mass. Eating 6 small meals a day does not increase metabolism. Not eating 3 hours before bed does not increase your metabolism. Skipping breakfast does not hurt your metabolism. What hurts your metabolism is under eating calories, not providing enough fuel for your muscles, causing muscular depletion, and shutting down your thyroid gland.

You never want to lose weight at the expense of your muscles. You do not want to do a colon flushing diuretic based diet that will just dehydrate you. You want to eat in a pattern that supplies your muscles with protein, nervous tissue with fats, and every cell in your body with carbohydrates.

This is where I could go on a thirty page discussion about how to fit your proteins, fats, carbs, to supply your body with the adequate amount of calories to fit your Total Energy Expenditure, but not exceeding it because you need to eat more than your RMR, but not more than your TEE if you want to lose weight. Blah, Blah, Blah.

STOP thinking about food as calories. Stop wondering how many Snickers Candy Bars you can fit in and stay under 1400 calories/day. Start thinking about food as fuel. The body needs a lot of fuel, it needs a large volume of food, and it really doesn’t care about calories. The body needs proteins to be broken into amino acids. The body needs carbs to be broken into glucose. The body needs fats to build hormones. The body does not care about how many calories are associated. The body needs vitamins to make each cell function. The body needs minerals to ensure muscle contractions are strong and organized. The body needs sunlight to be converted into Vitamin D.

Let me be clear. The body has no concern, governing body, or control over how many calories you eat. The body can store excess calories taken in as fat, and the body can utilize that fat tissue in a later date if you under eat calories, but this has no regard to your health or weight loss on a long term scale.

Do you want to know why the body does not prefer to run on the stored calories that you have as fat?

Do you want to know why these health risks that the ABC diet discusses are associated with under eating calories to lose weight?

Do you want to know why focusing on calories in, calories out, and no regard to nutrients or vitamins is detrimental to your health?

 I say this because the body does not store the majority of micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are involved in the body’s daily metabolic functions in fat cells. There are a few fat soluble vitamins that can be stored, A, D, E, K, but in all actuality, these all act within the body more as hormones than vitamins, so they are not as relevant when discussing micronutrient intake in your diet. The water soluble vitamins, B-Complex, are utilized in every cell, in every muscle and are NOT stored in fat tissue. SO when you go days without eating the proper amounts of fuel, or food, your body will be running on the stored calories from your fat, but it will be depleted of the vitamins that are not able to be stored within the body. This means that the body does not govern the use of these vitamins, it does not ration them. It uses them as it gets them. So, the more you feed it, the more you will use, and this means the more calories your body will be able to utilize.

So why do the ABC Diet risk factors happen?

As I stated in this blog, calories in/calories out is not the holy grail of weight loss. There is much more to the epidemic of obesity.

But I can assure you that the risk factor of Depression is linked to a deficiency in B-Vitamins.

Symptoms of Vitamin B Deficiency fears fatigue depression paranoia confusion hostility rage anxiety

Symptoms of Neuropsychiatric Disorders morbid fears severe fatigue depression paranoia confusion anger suicidal tendencies

So, before you go on a crash diet, or start skipping meals to “lose weight” be sure you consult a physician that can help you get on a safe and healthy diet plan.

Eat Well. Feel Well. Be Well.

What can spending $10 billion a year in advertising sell?

Have you ever wondered what it would cost to completely skew the minds of the masses in America and sell a product that is not only proven not to work, but proven to make you worse? Well you can spend money in many ways to advertise a product, but to sell a product and make everyone believe they need it without regard to any clinical evidence takes a lot of money and well organized/strategic marketing.

This product is so well sold in America, even when research surfaces, that clearly discusses the evidence that this product is harmful to your health and shows only negative effects to the body, the masses of America still defend it. They defend something that has taken years to ingrain into each of our brains that this product is necessary, against all odds, against all real research, the product must be good because doctors prescribe it and celebrities use it.

The top 10 pharmaceutical companies spend $10 billion dollars a year on marketing to the uninformed public.  

1. Pfizer
2. Eli Lilly
3. Abbott Laboratories
4. Merck
5. Amgen
6. AstraZeneca
7. Allergan
8. Boehringer Ingelheim
9. GlaxoSmithKline
10. Otsuka Pharmaceutical

These companies have mastered the art of selling you and me products to help heart burn, lower cholesterol, help the common cold, and vaccinate us from the years flu bug.

But how has this marketing strategy really affected us?

Whether or not you know what Psoriatic Arthritis is, or how it affects the body, we, as Americans, all know that Phil Mickelson suffers from it. We know that he is a professional golfer that has a condition that can only be helped by taking a very specific medication and if he doesn’t take it, he will never be able to play golf again.

Enbrel: a medication that is classified to block TNF or tumor necrosis factor will help stop the production of inflammation that is correlated to Psoriatic Arthritis.

Before the commercial talks about the side effects that come along with this medication such as: increased risk of diabetes and heart disease or increased risk of serious infection, this advertisement makes each of us believe that if Phil Mickelson takes this medication, it must work, and if I have pain in my hands or legs, I must have Psoriatic Arthritis, and this medication will help.

This advertisement is designed to put a personal touch on a celebrity or professional athlete and help each middle age American male think about if their pain that they are suffering from can be treated with this MIRACLE medication called Embrel. So we all tread off to the overworked, understaffed, ever too busy medical doctor and ask if this will help. All the doctor has to do is ask if you have pain, and when you say yes, you are linking yourself to the symptoms that Phil suffers from on the television, and you are not there for anything other than the same medication he uses. This means you are already a customer to this Pharmaceutical Company, and you are a lifetime buyer of their product. This is successful marketing, but at what cost???

Always pay attention to the “fine print”

We have all been taught to analyze the “fine print”. We know that in the fine print you will find things about any product that you would not like. Like the interest rate on a credit card. It is not in big bold print on the front, unless it’s a 6 month promotion of 0%APR, but the fine print will say something like, if you don’t meet your minimum payment or any carried credit balance will be subject to 21.99%APR after the 6 month grace period. So to be clear, we all know that the “fine print” of any product give details that the provider does not want you to focus on, and they create a diversion to keep their perspective client focused on the “good” of the product and not pay attention to the “bad”.

When you have $10 billion to spend on marketing, you can make sure that each one of your ads are professionally designed and ran through many control trials to analyze their effectiveness to the consumer before they ever hit the public eye. The entire ad is designed to get your attention, make you feel like you or someone you care about is suffering from the condition they are trying to exploit, and then show you the only way it can be treated, their miracle medication. After the commercial gets you all warm and fuzzy inside, and you have already self-diagnosed yourself, all you have to do is get your primary care physician already on the phone to schedule an appointment to get your prescription, then they lay the “fine print” on you. This comes in a form of extremely fast, monotone script of the many side effects that come along with the minute benefits of this miracle drug ,but you are already so warmed up from the well-designed commercial that you don’t even make an effort to pay attention.

Side effects like increased chance of infection, rapid pulse, increased urge to gamble, drowsiness, etc do not mean anything to us. We are not worried about what can happen, we are only focused on what we want to happen, and these pharmaceutical ads are genius at telling us that they can do just that.

I am not writing this blog to solely reiterate what we all know about the dangerous side effects that come with all medications, the fact that they exist, and the fact that we all ignore them. I am writing to tell you about how spending billions of dollars on advertising can sell anything, even things that can harm your health by trying to help it.

Have you ever wonder how much it cost to make a medication?

Would it alarm you if you know that a study shows that pharmaceutical companies have reached a level of domestic sales to a number of $235.4 billion, in the US alone. Research shows that 13.4% of this amount is spent on research and development of new medications.  To do the math for you, about $32 billion is spent on research and development of new medications.

How much is spent on marketing their products?

The same research paper states that pharmaceutical companies spend 24.4% of their sales on promotions of their products. This is how pharmaceutical industries spend $57.4 billion dollars on marketing. About $10 billion goes to direct marketing to consumers in the form of TV ads, billboards, and celebrity promotions. The rest is spent on Pharmaceutical Reps, Salespeople, doctor’s lunches etc.

With this volume of advertising, we can not help but become clients. It is all we see, all day, every day. A pill for this, shot for that.

Do you think it is odd, that if you get a flu shot at CVS, they will give you 20% off your store purchases that day?

I am a well-researched anti flu shot physician. I know all of the harmful side effects, and lack of scientific evidence that it is even remotely effective to prevent the flu, and I almost went and got a flu shot to get the 20% off.

The biggest industries have the most power and influence over us.  We need to stop buying into the system, and start a proactive way of living to promote our own health and stop being pawns in the medical scheme.

I truly respect this quote, and I only wish things were this simple. My thought though, does our food system pay attention to our health system?

The truth of this quote is, “people eat food with no regard to their health, and seek health care from an industry with zero intentions of helping.”

Dr Mozingo's Food For Thought. Lose fat, build muscle

The New-Start Solution | Muscle and Strength 

Nutrition | Lose Fat, Build Muscle

This phase is designed to lean out the diet, and start the body in muscle building mode. The food we eat is fuel for the body and muscles, and when you are starting a new weight training regimen, it is important to properly fuel the body, or you will suffer from decreased gains, and muscle fatigue.  This is not an easy program to follow exactly, but try to stay as true to it as you can.

Should I count calories?
Yes, when someone is trying to alter their physique, or build muscle, it is important to count calories to ensure they are getting enough. Yes, I said to ensure they are getting enough calories. Under eating could result in muscle fatigue, and also turn on specific enzymes that promote fat storage instead of muscle building. On average, we need about 15-18 calories per pound of body weight each day to maintain muscle tone, and to build muscle, it needs to go up to 18-20.  This being said, it is more important to balance where your calories are coming from than just the total number of calories being taken in.

Is protein important?
Muscles are made of protein, so in order to build bigger, stronger muscles you have to fuel them with their building blocks, like proteins. Several studies have shown that consuming 30-40% of total calories from protein sources on train days show a dramatic increase in muscle gains. This translates into 1 ½ - 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. The New-Start Solution program starts on the lower end of that, requiring 1 ½ grams of protein per pound of body weight. Protein sources should vary as well, eggs for example have about 8-12 grams of protein each, and an 8 ounce sirloin steak has about 55 grams of protein. So to be clear, it is important to consume 1 ½ have grams of protein per pound of body weight on train days (225 grams for 150lb person) and 1 gram on rest days.

Are carbohydrates important?
Carbohydrates act as the body’s energy, allowing for muscle contraction and also vital for glycogen storage. Glycogen is what stays in the muscle and pulls water into them making them fuller and allowing a stretch of the muscle fibers. When the muscle fibers stretch, it stimulates protein synthesis, building bigger stronger muscles. In the beginning, most people have plenty of store glycogen, so in Phase 1 The New-Start Solution suggests an intake of 1 gram of carbohydrates per pound of body weight on train days, and ½ grams per day on rest days.

Are fats important?
Fats are critical in the building block of testosterone and all other androgen hormones. Testosterone is a vital part of muscle building so eating adequate amounts of fat will boost testosterone levels. Omega-3 fats are an essential part of joint lubrication and nerve conduction. These fats are found in fatty fish and eggs. The New-Start Solution puts an emphasis on the importance of supplementing with ORGANIC Omega-3 oil and also consuming about ½ of your body weight in grams of fat/day. These intakes should be 1/3 saturated, 1/3 monounssaturated and 1/3 polyunsaturated fats.  Most meat products have this balance.

Is there any other tips for better gains?

1. Eat frequently, 3-4 meals a day, with snacks in between is adequate.
2. Always eat protein for breakfast
3. Eat eggs. 3 eggs a day has been proven to promote bigger gains.

Dear Columbus, Chiropractic is Changing

In Columbus, Chiropractic care can be found in many different forms. But, what is chiropractic? What are chiropractors taught to do?

Everyone has heard the stipulations and criticisms, "once you go to the chiropractic, you have to go forever," or "go the the chiropractor, and get your back cracked!"

For decades, chiropractors have listened to these comments and designed a very lucrative business around them. There are many chiropractic management companies the the US that have catered to this business model, exploited it, and have put the entire profession at jepeordy by simply diluting the efficacy of the chiropractic profession. This overuse, overpresciption, and misguidance by the chiropractic profession has been taught by the best, pharmaceutical companies. The theory is simply, scare people into believing they can not live without it.

New-Start Health Center is different, chiropractic care is not a business, it is a treatment, a treatment to alleviate DYSFUNCTION.

Dear Columbus, chiropractic care is essential, it is scientific, it is efficient.

The most common reason Americans seek intervention with a doctor is simply, PAIN. Low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, headache, leg pain, etc. The problem is, PAIN is just a symptom, PAIN is how the body lets us know that something is going wrong, this is called, DYSFUNCTION and most doctors never look for the true DYSFUNCTION, they just block the PAIN.

What is New-Start Health Center?

Hello, I am Dr. Trent Mozingo, Owner of New-Start Health Center. I am a chiropractor by nature, but New-Start is more than just a chiropractic office in Columbus, IN.  New-Start is a change in healthcare.

The health of Americans is in serious need of improvement, and the current health care system in place has no potential to help.  Most common diseases that are increasing in prevalence have an underlying cause that no synthetic pharmaceutical medication is going to alleviate. The major conditions are inflammatory diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease and pose a serious threat on the longevity of a person’s life. Other less serious conditions include dementia, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, Autism, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, GERD, and many others.  The cause of these diseases is simple, what you put in your mouth is expressed by the health of the body.

New-Start Health Center takes a step back from the current health care model and actually analyzes the bodily functions, with intentions of improving your health. Each symptom presented from a patient tells a story of their health, the body is trying to explain how to fix it. At New-Start, we listen, understand, and create sound treatment plans to create a healthier you.

If you are looking for a natural approach to improve your health, call New-Start Health Center (812) 799-0668 now, and schedule your next appointment.

Together, we can Improve Your Health, and Change Your Life.
