Health by choice, not chance.
About This Blog
I am writing this blog to help me express my evolving understanding of human health.
My opinions and original articles are based on my 20+ years working as a chiropractor and health coach to thousands of patients and are supported by literature I have read including articles, books, printed and on-line news, etc., and the information I have learned in the many seminars I have taken over the years.

I try to write every 10-14 days. So, please check in frequently, leave comments and pass it on to your friends. Thanks.
About Me
- docmay
- I have been a chiropractor for over twenty years. I see myself primarily as a health coach; as a guide to better health. It is my understanding that we are hardwired for health; that health is our genetic set-point. Therefore, if one understands what health is, takes personal responsibility for it, makes a commitment to achieve it and works at it a little every day, then excellent health is not only possible, it is inevitable.
