How many of us will be obese by 2015?!?

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:00:36 +0000

The nutrition trend continues. At this point it seems my blog is focusing far more on nutrition, when chiropractic should be the main topic. However, health and wellness through chiropractic includes excellent nutrition, and discussion of the struggles many people have with nutrition and obesity in the United States, and abroad.

A few months ago I spoke to a class of pre-med students, a… Continued...

P90X and Crossfit Athletes Beware

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:00:17 +0000

Chiropractic and the exercise program P90x go extremely well together. My wife and I are both P90x graduates, and absolutely loved the challenge of the program, as well as the results for our health. I have lost count on how many people I have recommended the program to, following the transformation of one of our patients.

I was recently reviewing some old notes from… Continued...

This really made my evening when I saw a post from Dr. Jeanne Ohm, D.C., president of the IPCA. It is a fantastic interview and explanation on why it is recommended that children be checked by a chiropractor, and the benefits that can follow. In the last few weeks we have been seeing even more children as well as entire Seattle families, and it… Continued...

Splenda is FAR From Splendid

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:00:24 +0000

My focus in life continues to be on my family and being a chiropractor, but I certainly have been on a nutrition kick lately, haven’t I? A few of our patients at Queen Anne Chiropractic are actually providing some feedback on our blog, and one of the issues recently brought up has been people avoiding Aspartame in favor of another horrible chemical sweetener, Splenda. … Continued...

Who Wants Their Health Back?

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:50:40 +0000

One of the most common difficulties being a chiropractor is attempting to explain that the whole of the body is greater than the sum of its parts. Our bodies have been compartmentalized into specialties among medical professionals, and this can often create blinders for the doctor and the patient.

One of my most common instances of this is when a person enters my office with… Continued...

Banned in 160 nations but safe for the U.S. food supply?

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:21:29 +0000

Nutrition is a key component to all health and wellness. I don’t think you need a chiropractor or medical doctor to tell us that. So why is there a continued war being waged against our food supply? As a Seattle chiropractor, I am often times preaching to choir, as many people have a great awareness of these issues, and you are just as likely to… Continued...

Pharm Fail: Merck gives back 2 years of Vioxx profit to victims of the drug.

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:16:50 +0000

A patient once ask me, “Why do you care so much about pharmaceutical drugs? They have nothing to do with chiropractic.” It even sounded worse, as his voice sounded less curious, and more condescending. I was a little stunned, because I believe I care primarily as a human, and next comes as a chiropractor. The question I should have asked back is, “Why does Dorothy… Continued...

Chiropractor is a lacrosse Superstar

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:20:25 +0000

Most of you know I love hockey, but the sport of lacrosse has been one of my favorites since my buddy Jared and I joined the St. Vital Salmonbellies at age twelve. So when I read about a chiropractor, Pat “Madman” Maddalena, tearing it up in the National Lacrosse League for the past eleven seasons, I wanted to share… Continued...

Chiropractic, Nutrition, and Weston A. Price

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:36:09 +0000

For as schooled as I have been in chiropractic philosophy, alternative treatments to promote health and prevent disease, and nutrition, I was at a loss when a practice member mentioned Weston A. Price to me a couple of years ago.

This article describes Weston A. Price as a dentist who researched the links between health, nutrition and tooth decay worldwide. He… Continued...

Chiropractor coaches Olympic bobsled team to gold and bronze

Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:05:41 +0000

There are two things I love about this article from the Grand Rapid News, about chiropractor, Dr. Jason Ross, D.C.

The first thing is the fact that helped the men’s four man bobsled to a gold medal, and the two woman bobsled team to a bronze at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

“It was an unbelievable
