Chirocast

The brain is for movement? Most of us believe that the brain is for thinking! But neuroscientist Dr Daniel Wolpert proves that the key function of the brain is to make the body move. Life IS motion! Even our cells have motion...even the atoms in our cells are circling around! Listen as Dr. Rubin explains why.

Are you just trying out life? Just putting your big toes in the water to see if it's warm enough? Or do you jump in, do a 'cannonball', and as Dr. Dick Santo was fond of saying, 'go all in?' During this holiday season, it is time to create your goals for next year and get ready to go all in to the new year, full throttle, all systems go!

Neurodiversity is the belief that we should be accepting of all kinds of neurological functioning. ADHD, Autism, LD, SPD; these children are not DIS-abled but Differently-abled! Shouldn't we help grow our children's confidence, no matter what label they happen to be given? Who knows if your child is the next Temple Grandin (who has Autism), Michael Phelps (who had ADHD as a child), or Stephen Speilberg (who has dyslexia). Maybe their differences MADE them who they were?

How do you decide things in your relationship? How about a 3 tier hierarchy for everything you do, in order to 'pass the test?' That's what Drs Drew and Lisa have done for years that they credit as one of the pillars of their 27+ year relationship. Listen in on what they call the "GFC Philosophy."

Sometimes the poets just say it better than the average written word. Dr Rubin features Anyway, by Mother Teresa, and The Cookie Thief, by Valerie Cox, and then offers poignant interpretation to the deeper meaning and lessons he gained from their inspiration.

We look at developmental milestones as a very specific tool to measure the progress of a child's maturation progress. Just the same way a computer turns on in a very specific manner, and the time it takes to turn on is usually within a few seconds each time, the same is true with milestones. Dr Rubin gives an extended talk about the importance of this tool and asks everyone to participate.

In an instant, everything can change. You never know when that instant is, so Dr Rubin suggests living the best life you can, going all out, full throttle, 110%. There is no time like the present. This moment is all we really have. Now its gone. Live each moment on purpose.

Happily married for 26+ years, Dr Rubin and his wife share secrets to a creating a successful marriage. It takes work, daily work, not just during the courtship but every day. The title is based on a book Dr Lisa Rubin is currently writing, entitled The Relationship Scrapbook. This is a new format for this podcast...please let us know your thoughts about this on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rubinfamilychiropractic/ or email us at rubinchiropractic@gmail.com.

One Cause, One Correction? What does that mean? When you boil it all down, there is only 1 problem that causes health issues, and that is dysfunction. An organ, muscle, bone, or other anatomical part is dysfunctioning, and the answer is to get that body part back to optimal function. There may be somewhere between 13,000 - 30,000 named diseases, yet they are all due to a malfunction. What's the one correction? Getting the body to restore homeostasis to that area! What's homeostasis? Balance and equilibrium . Listen to find out more!

Where does healing come from? If you cut your finger, what happens? You bleed, and then you stop bleeding. The cut heals itself! How? It is truly a miracle of the human body...this innate intelligence inside us that allows our bodies to heal and grow stronger IF we remove the interferences! Learn how to remove the interferences to your healing potential.

Big History, a TED talk, helped Dr Rubin think about how important history is in everyone's life. Newton's laws of physics explain how a body in motion tends to stay in motion, yet that also explains how success works. Success tends to breed more success, but lack of success unfortunately leads to more lack of success. How do we break out of that pattern? Look at your Big History and then change the pattern!

Mass shootings seem to be an American phenomenon. According to a recent NY Times article, the US is the leader in world democracy but also has more mass shootings than any other country per capita. Dr. Joe Dispenza explains the old saying, "Nerves that Fire Together, Wire Together." Dr Rubin points out that saying applies in either direction... nerves either fire good OR fire bad! Listen as Dr Rubin explains this and how it relates in the 2nd part of his mass shootings podcasts. Link to the NY Times article: goo.gl/KmcKjT

In the wake of the Texas Church Massacre, Dr Rubin asks the question that BJ Palmer asked in 1949. Whence (or exactly when) does greatness come? For some people, like Oprah or Bill Gates, it comes from doing great things for humanity. For people like Mother Teresa, it comes from doing great service. But for some people, the only way they feel that they can 'reach greatness' is by holding a weapon in their hands. Then they 'feel great'. What can we do about this? Listen as Dr. Rubin brings new clarity to this terrifying issue.

The Polyvagal Theory, as introduced by Dr. Stephen Porges, has been instrumental in Dr. Rubin’s formulating many of his current ideas. Dr Rubin recently revisited the thoughts from this astounding book, especially in consideration of where our species is going. Are we really evolving? Are we as human race moving up to the next level, or are we downshifting? Dr. Rubin asks that you be the judge.

Albert Einstein famously said, "The only thing that is constant is change." Isn't that the truth? Dr Rubin discusses what that means as you encounter constant obstacles in your life. What will you do when you face these challenges? Hit them head on or turn away? As the great 'sage' from the movie Galaxy Quest once said, "Never give up. Never surrender!"

In the last episode from Live in Houston, Dr. Rubin explores the question: How does innate contact you? Is innate obvious or subtle? Is it easy to contact innate? Based on BJ Palmer's story of how innate contacts education. Includes an interesting Q & A at the end.

Dr. Sid Williams had a saying that he drilled into our heads every seminar. "Work is fun...I love to work!" We are so blessed to have found a career where that is 100% true. If you fall in love with your work, then you don't ever work a day in your life. I go to the office to play every day! Learn how to make this possible in your life.

BJ Palmer in his 1949 book, The Bigness of the Fellow Within, talks about Slipping & Checking in the game of golf vs the game of life. Easy to tell when you've slipped in golf. The poor outcome is automatic (ball heads into the woods, drops in the lake, etc). In life it's not that straightforward. You can slip and slip and slip and not know it or realize it for months, years or ever! Dr. Rubin explains how he uses slipping & checking in his life. This is the 2nd in the series of 3 lectures Dr. Rubin did live in Houston, Texas. Please note there is a question at first that takes about 1 minute before Dr. Rubin begins the podcast.

I will are the two magic words. Dr. Rubin then asks the question, "what will you do?" What will you do with all the gift you've been given? All the talent that you have? Are you planning your life? Are you designing your life? Don't let anybody else create your dream. Start now, start here, start today! Listen on.
