New Year, New You: Change Your Mind, Change Your Health

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU Week 1: Change your mind, Change your health. Dr. Cole Bradburn, D.C.

MY PATH & PURPOSE University of Missouri Honors College B.S. in Life Science Doctorate in Chiropractic Cum Laude I have spent 9 years studying health and what is required to experience health. Conclusion: You were born to be healthy All healing comes from God Most doctors study sickness and disease Principles of Health & Wellness differ from principles of Sickness & Disease. Can not solve health questions with sickness answers. God needs no help, just no interference.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE INTERFERE? Stats on American Health from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) “Death by Medicine” - Therapeutic drug use each year Kills 198,000 people, Puts 8.8 million in hospitals & accounts for 28% of all hospital admissions “Dead by Mistake” 200,000 deaths per year due to medical mistake. These are preventable medical errors and hospital infections

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE INTERFERE? From the World Health Organization (WHO) The U.S. consumes 60% of the world’s drugs 25 million pills consumed every hour of every day! The U.S. spends over $3 trillion on sick care annually. Despite this investment, the U.S. ranks 37th out of 40! Every year for the last 50 years there have been more medical doctors, more nurses, more drugs, more hospitals, and more money spent in America. Who thinks we are getting healthier? Every year the rates of chronic sickness and preventable death increase!

“Before you escape from a prison, first you must realize you are in one.” --William Blake

WHY CHALLENGE MODERN VIEWS? To create change, we need to change our beliefs. All human knowledge is temporary, God’s wisdom is eternal Ex: Medical treatments found out to be damaging or deadly bloodletting, lobotomy, Vioxx, CT Scan, Mammogram Health - smoking recommended for relaxation! Our bodies are not machines, they are divinely inspired Tremendous amount of what is accepted as truth or science today will tomorrow be found to be faulty or harmful Vioxx -- David Graham, MD (FDA) killed 60,000 CT Scan - 29,000 new cancers and 14,500 deaths annually

POOR GENETIC SYNDROME MYTH We do have tendencies to be high strung, low strung, headstrong, stomach big, or heart weak. Tendencies can be overcome. Research has proven that genetics determine 2-5% of your health. The rest is environment/lifestyle. 95-98% of us are born with the ability to live with outrageous health Balancing Lifestyle and Genomics Research - Dr. W.C. Willet Science 26 April 2002 Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and the Childhood Roots of Health Disparities - Harvard, Rockefeller University JAMA. 2009;301(21): 2252-2259 National Academy of Sciences - Dr. Dean Ornish prostate study 30 men with prostate cancer decide against surgery/radiation. 3 months of major lifestyle change (fruits/veg, moderate exercise 30 min, hour prayer/meditation) 48 disease preventing genes turn on, 453 disease promoting genes shut down.

POOR GENETIC SYNDROME MYTH Our health is not random chance. No studies showing we are genetically programmed to get sick Life strives for balance. Sickness is a lack of cell balance. Every disease in the Merck manual is due to some cells in your body not functioning in balance. Your state of health is the genetic expression of your lifestyle choices. What drives you away from health? Stressors (deﬁciencies & toxicities) - spiritual, mental, physical, chemical Stress is the rate of wear and tear on the body.

Spiritual Health Mental Physical Health Health The area you are lacking in will be your undoing.

Spiritual Health Mental Physical Health Health

Spiritual Health Mental Physical Health Health Your body is not only created by God, it is for God. It is a miraculous gift that God has handed over to you for a short time. Showing respect for your gift means showing respect and love for God. dietary toxins, anxiety, inactivity -- irritate system, affect moods, cloud body, rob strength. Result - relationship others/God, time on planet

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS The questions you ask determine the quality of your life Lets learn to ask better questions. Instead of: Ask: •I wonder what I’ve got? •What does a person •I wonder what’s wrong require to express health? with me? •What is toxic that could •I wonder what the drive me away from health? treatment will be? •How can I shift my body •What is the diagnosis? towards better balance? A: Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well, Connect Well you can’t get the right answer unless you ask the right question A lack of diagnosis does not mean healthy. Great Lakes Example

KNOWING WITHOUT DOING IS NOT KNOWING Hosea 4:6 - “My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge.” God doesn’t say “My There is now, and has always been, people are destroyed for more than enough info. lack of Bibles, health books, audiotapes, videos, Knowledge means understanding and/or wisdom. etc...” In the Bible, “knowledge” denotes action or the ability to perform what knowledge claims is true. Being transformed by the renewing of your mind Information is knowing, real knowledge is doing. Understanding and wisdom means when you come across info, you act on it. We know fast food is unhealthy, but look at the lines.

INSPIRED OBEDIENCE Self-Motivation (for me) vs. Inspired Obedience (for God). Psalm 24:1 - “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” Proverbs 16:3 - “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” Read from book. 1 Cor 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

REFRESH - THE POWER OF 40 In the Bible, 40 is the number of The spies returned inspired and complete transformation and renewal. renewed after 40 days in the promised land - Numbers 13:25 According to scientific research, six weeks (approx. 40 days) is how long it Jonah foretold that Nineveh would be overturned (transformed) in 40 takes to establish a habit days - Jonah 3:4 Noah saw the world transformed by Jesus fasted 40 days & nights 40 days & nights of rain - Genesis 6-8 before being tempted by the devil - Moses was with the Lord for 40 days Matthew 4:2 & nights when he received the 10 Jesus presented Himself to the commandments - Exodus 34:28 disciples for 40 days following His Elijah ate one meal and did not eat resurrection. This was the death of again for 40 days, yet had all the the old and rebirth of the new - strength needed to do God’s work - Acts 1:3 1 Kings 19:8

REFRESH - THE POWER OF 40 So how do you get 40% better for God in 40 days? By getting 1% better each day for God: 1. Your relationship with God 2. Your relationship with family 3. Your body 4. Your mind 5. Your business 6. Your skills 7. Your time management 8. Your outlook on life • and then continue getting 1% better each day (or even each week) for the rest of your life. If you do not care for your temple, you will not have the energy or time on earth necessary to perform and fulﬁll your purpose.

ACTION STEPS WEEK 1 Eat 5 foods by God per day Choose any simple exercise to do twice a week for 20 minutes walk briskly, jog, bike Try to be want-less want only what God gives you, and trust that he will give you everything you need and more than you ever wanted. Philippians 4:11 “Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.”

NEXT TIME Diet myths and truth Living to eat or eating to live Four keys to better eating Motion is Life And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18 Carpenter Story
