Taking Charge!<br />
Your health is important, because it is yours. You have heard the<br />
mantra, you only get one body, so you must take care of it. From where<br />
I am standing, that is quite true. There are a lot of factors that go into<br />
your health, but one factor that we have total control of is choice.<br />
We choose to eat poorly. We choose to work out or not. We<br />
choose to live life in front of the computer or television.<br />
These choices, like all others, have repercussions. Being<br />
sedentary is a choice and living with the effects of that lifestyle is<br />
your choice.<br />
What you have to understand is that when you seek out help,<br />
you’re seeking out not only the healthcare professional, the personal<br />
trainer, or nutritionist, but you are seeking them out for their<br />
knowledge, experience and insight to your problem. Again, you are<br />
at the crossroads of choice. You can choose to accept what they are<br />
telling you, or not. One of these choices is going to require work.<br />
Once you have made the decision to take charge of your health,<br />
get rid of pain, get in shape, or whatever your situation calls for,<br />
your next step is to assemble your team. My team? Yes, you are going<br />
to need a team of people who can help you. Is it possible to do<br />
things on your own, to help yourself? Absolutely! However, what is<br />
the cost? When you were in school, you were taught by a teacher<br />
to learn something new, at which point you learned the skill and<br />
from there apply that skill into your life. However, that does not go<br />
for everything, you can’t adjust yourself, and do your own blood<br />
work, but you can do the exercises you’ve learned at home, stretch<br />

yourself, and start eating right all on your own.<br />
Your team. Your team should be comprised of people whom you<br />
trust, people you vibe well with. Building that rapport with your<br />
healthcare providers is important. Question them! If they are not<br />
willing to take the time to teach you, are they really the right provider<br />
for you? A good provider will also question you and your choices,<br />
they will push you to make changes, think outside the box for you,<br />
but most importantly they will put their egos aside to help you find<br />
the best solution to your problems. Even if it means you going outside<br />
their office to do so. The answer is not always a pill or a medication.<br />
The answer to a lot of problems just requires work and time.<br />
So, TAKE CHARGE! Make choices for your health that will push you<br />
past your comfort zone and into a place where you are no longer in pain<br />
and dysfunction. Take the dog for a walk, have a leisurely stroll with<br />
your significant other. Take charge! Make change! Live your best life!<br />
