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.

At least he acknowledges he is being honest with the name and gimmick. Now if only Burger King and McD's came with the same type of warnings.
All advertising should be this honest.
What do you think about opening a franchise in North Adams? It could be the only thing that could give Jack's a run for his money!!!

Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you die.
Unbelievable. I had to share it with all on my FB page. Where are the male nurses? hahahaha
In Chicago, I would call that variety of meat-snack a "chest-grabber", though in the Windy City there'd be a fried egg or two crowning the whole lardy-hearty mess.
