Whose responsibility is YOUR health?

Each week when I meet with new people it’s common to hear them blaming their doctors, drug companies or insurance companies for their health woes.

 The bottom line is that your health is not their responsibility, it’s yours.  The state of your health can very simply be transformed at any time given your desire and ability to do what’s needed.  Health is rarely improved long term by taking a pill or being passive.

I often recommend things to patients and they are unwilling to do what is needed to turn things around.  It seems it is easy to have a disconnect between intentions and actions.  Intention without action is really just a good idea.  There needs to be implementation to have results.

The thing about health that we have to realize is that it is counter cultural and takes effort.  We are conditioned to want to take the easiest route, and to always strive to feel good.  This leads people into choosing the television over activity, comfort foods over the healthy ones, texting over verbal conversation and fast food over meal preparation.

Health is attained by doing what it takes to right the wrong and give your body what it needs to heal, function and regenerate the way that God intended for it to do.  When given the right stuff and a good environment the body can heal from any and everything.

What is the right stuff??  It all starts with a healthy functioning nerve system.  Then you can support the nerve system and other tissues by eating properly, getting oxygen to your body via movement and entering a state of peace.

Prioritizing your health means that you will likely need to change a lot of your life.  Your schedule will need modifying, your finances will need re-allocating, and your mind will need to go from apathy to accountability.

As you engage you will be rewarded.  An abundant life involves abundance in all area’s including health.

Be Blessed,

Dr. Matt
