The minute that changed outcomes

I used to run 12-minute sessions per region. Patients seemed satisfied, results were okay, and I genuinely believed more time meant more healing.

Then I started diving deeper into energy density.

The numbers told me something I hadn't considered: spreading the same power over longer periods might not deliver what the tissue actually needs. The math showed me a different path.

So I shifted to protocols that deliver a concentrated therapeutic dose in under 6 minutes per region.

The change showed up immediately in how patients described what they felt.

Not just "it feels better" but "I can actually move my shoulder without that catch" or "the deep ache is gone, not just dulled." Therapists started progressing exercises sooner because the tissue was responding in ways that allowed them to advance treatment plans.

What I discovered was surprisingly straightforward: energy density and session length work together in specific ways, and understanding that relationship opened up better treatment possibilities.

Six minutes at proper intensity can deliver what tissue needs to respond.

There's a threshold where photons interact with cellular mechanisms effectively. Once I understood that threshold, I could design protocols around it.

When you understand the physics of how photons interact with cells at the molecular level, treatment protocols become clearer. Patients experience outcomes that feel different to them, and those differences show up in their recovery timelines.

Time was never the constraint.

Dose delivery was.

One small cue that unloads your neck.

Set your eye line two inches higher and your head follows. Raise the screen and lift the phone, and the cervical load drops.

I'll map the exact heights that feel natural and last.

Your head goes where your eyes go.

And your eyes go where you put your screens.

You can't fix forward head posture with willpower alone when your environment works against you. The screen sits low, the phone drops to your lap, and your eyes naturally follow them down.

Every inch your head drifts forward adds roughly 10 pounds of stress to your cervical spine. Three inches forward means your neck is managing 30 extra pounds throughout the day, creating mechanical load that compresses the C5-C6-C7 vertebrae over time.

When I work with patients on posture correction, sitting up straight typically lasts about 20 minutes before they return to their baseline position. The reason is simple: the environment hasn't changed.

Change the eye line and the head position adjusts automatically.

Laptop screen? Top of the display at or slightly below eye level when you're sitting upright.

Desktop monitor? Center of screen at eye height.

Phone? Bring it closer to eye level instead of dropping your head down to meet it. This is where screen ergonomics break down for most people.

Test it right now.

Lift your phone two inches higher than you normally hold it. Notice how your head position shifts, your neck straightens, and the load decreases immediately.

This isn't about maintaining perfect posture around the clock. That's unrealistic given how much time we spend on screens. This is about reducing cumulative mechanical stress before it progresses to structural changes in the disc tissue.

Your spine adapts to the positions you maintain most frequently. Small shifts in positioning today influence spinal health years from now.

Two inches of eye-line adjustment reduces long-term structural stress.

The physics respond to actual load patterns, not intentions, so what you do hour after hour determines the outcome.

My three shoveling rules protect backs.

Push more than you lift. Hinge at the hips with the handle close. Switch sides every few passes.

I use these on every storm and show you exactly how to make them second nature.

Here's why this matters: About 11,500 people end up in emergency departments each year because of snow shoveling, and lower back injuries make up 34% of those cases. The average person with a double driveway moves between 1,100 and 1,500 pounds of snow after a six-inch snowfall.

That's serious weight.

Your back is already more vulnerable before you even step outside. Temperature drops change atmospheric pressure throughout your body, including in your joints. If you have a problem area in your spine, that pressure change amplifies what you feel.

Cold weather thickens the synovial fluid between your joints... the stuff that normally keeps them lubricated. When it gets sludgy, it can't do its job.

Your muscles, tendons, and ligaments tighten up and lose flexibility.

This is why your back hurts more in winter even when your routine hasn't changed.

The most common mistake I see? People don't bend their knees. They use their back as the fulcrum to lift, which puts enormous strain on the spine.

Here's what actually works:

→ Warm up with jumping jacks or jog in place before you start
→ Stretch at the waist
→ Squat with your legs apart and knees bent while shoveling
→ Keep your back straight, lift with your legs
→ Take breaks (especially important if you're over 55)

Done properly, shoveling is actually excellent exercise. It works your legs, core, arms, and shoulders simultaneously. You just need to prepare your body for it.

One more thing: If you're 55 or older, you're 4.25 times more likely to experience cardiac symptoms while shoveling. While cardiac issues only account for 7% of shoveling injuries, they represent 100% of the fatalities (1,647 deaths). This isn't meant to scare you... just know your limits.

Winter is coming, and your back already knows it.

How clinics tune red light for real patients

I went down a rabbit hole with Peter Attia's episode on red light therapy, and honestly, the gap between what clinical teams actually do versus what gets marketed to consumers is kind of wild.

Dermatology and sports rehab clinics don't just blast red light at problems and hope for the best... they're incredibly specific about wavelength selection based on what tissue layer they're trying to reach.

For skin-level work (wound healing, acne, surface inflammation), dermatology teams use 620-780 nanometers because that's the sweet spot for pe*******on without going deeper than necessary. When sports rehab needs to hit muscle tissue or joint inflammation sitting below the surface, they add near-infrared wavelengths in the 790-1400nm range.

Here's what caught me off guard.

The dose timing matters way more than I realized, and it's not what most people assume. Clinical protocols typically run 10-20 minutes per session, 3-5 times weekly... not daily marathons. The tissue needs recovery time between exposures, similar to how we think about training stimulus and letting the body adapt. More frequency doesn't equal better results when you're trying to trigger a specific biological response.

The evidence quality varies pretty dramatically depending on what you're treating. Strong data exists for wound healing and skin health, promising results for hair loss management, and preliminary evidence for exercise recovery and pain management. But consumer devices often market themselves as solving everything without making distinctions about wavelength specificity or tissue depth.

That's the gap.

Clinical teams dial in parameters based on treatment goals and tissue targets. Consumer marketing promises universal benefits without those nuances.

If you're exploring red light therapy, the questions worth asking are about wavelength ranges and treatment frequency, because those details separate evidence-based approaches from generic claims that sound impressive but lack precision.

Like this if you've been curious about red light therapy but weren't sure what actually works versus what's just marketing hype. Comment if you've tried it - I'd love to hear what protocols you followed and what results you saw.

What research shows about sugar vs sweeteners

I've been digging into the Peter Attia episode where he breaks down this exact question.

And honestly? Most of us are thinking about it wrong.

Sugar messes with your appetite in three ways at once. Low satiety per calorie, insulin response that makes you hungrier later, and reward system activation that keeps you coming back for more. The real kicker though is liquid sugar... sodas and juices bypass your body's normal satiety signals in a way that solid foods with sugar just don't.

Now sweeteners.

The artificial ones like aspartame and sucralose won't spike your glucose. That part's clear from the research. But all those scary headlines about cancer and heart disease? When you actually look at the studies, most of them used doses that no real person would ever consume, and even then the data stays mixed at normal intake levels.

Stevia and monk fruit work well for a lot of people, though some can't stand the aftertaste. Allulose is interesting because it technically has calories but doesn't raise blood sugar at all since your body processes it differently. Sugar alcohols like erythritol do the job but they can absolutely destroy your digestion if you overdo it.

Here's what actually matters more than which sweetener you pick: your current metabolic health, how insulin sensitive you are, your activity level, whether it's liquid or solid, and when you're consuming it.

Someone who's metabolically healthy and exercises regularly can handle sugar in ways that someone dealing with insulin resistance simply cannot. The research backs up individual context over blanket rules every single time.

There's also this gap between what happens in controlled studies versus real life. Sweeteners look great for weight loss in the lab, but people often end up eating more calories somewhere else without even realizing they're doing it.

No perfect answer exists.

You're choosing between trade-offs based on where your metabolism is right now, not following some universal rule that works for everyone.

Have you made the switch from sugar to sweeteners or vice versa? Comment what you noticed with your energy levels, cravings, or just how you felt overall. And like this if you want more nutrition content that actually cites the research instead of recycling the same tired advice.

The three questions I ask before any supplement.

A patient came in last week with a grocery bag full of supplement bottles. Fifteen different ones. When I gently asked what each was for, she paused and said, "I'm not really sure anymore... I just kept adding them."

I felt that.

Because a few years ago, that was me too. Spending money on things I couldn't explain, hoping something would make a difference, but never really knowing if any of it mattered.

Then I learned a framework from Peter Attia that changed how I think about supplements entirely, both for myself and in my practice.

Three simple questions.

Is there real human evidence for what I'm hoping to achieve? Can I actually measure if it's working? And is it safe, tested, and genuinely worth the investment?

These questions have saved my patients thousands of dollars and so much mental clutter around what they "should" be taking.

Let me share how I use each one.

First → Is there solid human evidence for my specific goal?

Not studies on mice or theories about how something might work. Real research on actual people showing the benefit I'm looking for. If I can't find good evidence in about 10 minutes, that usually tells me what I need to know. Either the research isn't there, or the benefit is too small to matter for most people.

Second → Can I measure whether it's making a difference?

This one changes everything. Before recommending vitamin D, I check blood levels. If someone's already at a healthy 50 ng/mL, they don't need more. With fish oil, I look at their omega-3 index first. With creatine, we track performance or cognitive markers.

If you can't measure it, you're guessing. And guessing gets expensive.

Third → Is it safe, properly tested, and worth what it costs?

Third-party testing matters more than most people realize. So does basic math. I've seen supplements that cost $60 a month for benefits you could get from $10 worth of salmon or a 20-minute walk outside. That's not healthcare... that's clever marketing.

I went from taking eight supplements to three. My labs improved. My budget thanked me.

Here's what I want you to know: some people genuinely need supplements based on their labs and health situation. But most of us are taking things we don't need, can't measure, and honestly wouldn't miss if we stopped tomorrow.

The relief my patients feel when they realize they can let go of half their supplement routine? That's real.

So I'm curious about your experience. Do you check your levels before supplementing, or do you go by how you feel? Have you ever stopped taking something and realized it wasn't doing anything? Comment below, I'd genuinely love to hear what's working for you or if this makes you want to simplify what's in your cabinet.

The trial that changed my care plan

750 active-duty service members with low back pain. Three military facilities. Six-week treatment period comparing standard medical care versus medical care plus chiropractic.

The combined approach won across every metric.

Pain intensity dropped an additional 1.1 points on a 10-point scale. Disability scores improved by 2.2 points more. Patient satisfaction increased by 2.5 points, and medication use decreased in the combined group.

But one number stood out to me: trunk endurance improved by 13.9 seconds.

Fourteen seconds doesn't sound like much until you understand what it represents in daily life. When your core can stabilize 14 seconds longer, you're not just stronger on paper... you're getting through a full workday without bracing every time you bend down, lifting your kid without that split-second hesitation, loading groceries without mentally preparing for the ache that usually follows.

Functional capacity. That's what we're really measuring here.

The study design matters too. Researchers used a pragmatic approach, testing real-world care instead of controlled lab conditions. The chiropractic group received spinal manipulation and therapeutic procedures while still having full access to standard medical options like physical therapy, medications, and pain clinic referrals when appropriate. They tracked outcomes with proper statistical analysis using linear mixed-effects regression models to account for site variations and patient demographics.

Results: no serious adverse events, better outcomes across all measures, reduced reliance on pain medication.

What shifted my thinking wasn't that chiropractic proved superior to medical care. The data doesn't show that. What it shows is that integrated care outperforms isolated treatment approaches, and that's a more important finding.

I've changed how I discuss treatment options with patients because of studies like this. I'm not suggesting we replace medical recommendations, I'm showing them evidence that collaborative care produces better outcomes than working in separate lanes.

The researchers acknowledged limitations openly. They need longer-term data. They want to identify which patient characteristics predict better responses to combined treatment protocols. That transparency strengthens the findings rather than weakening them.

This is evidence that moves us forward instead of just defending what we already believe.

Have you experienced this yourself? Does combining different treatment approaches work better than relying on just one?

Like and comment if collaborative care has given you better results than going it alone.

My evidence-first supplement checklist

I changed how I think about supplements a few years back.

Used to recommend them the way I was taught... vitamin D for everyone in winter, fish oil for inflammation, magnesium for sleep. Standard protocol stuff.

Then I started asking a different question: why is this person taking this specific compound? And most of the time, neither of us had a good answer.

So I built a checklist from Peter Attia's framework and published trials. It turns hype into steps. Any compound that clears each step earns consideration.

Here's the sequence:

→ Start from zero
Dump everything out mentally. Rebuild based on evidence, not marketing or what worked for someone else.

→ Check the actual research
Does this supplement have proven benefits in well-designed trials? Or is it riding on preliminary data and Instagram testimonials?

→ Measure your biomarkers first
Your vitamin D level matters infinitely more than general population studies. Your omega-3 index determines whether fish oil makes sense for you, not whether it "supports heart health" on the label.

→ Assess individual need
B vitamins only require supplementation when deficiencies exist. That's it. Creatine shows proven benefits for muscle performance and potential cognitive benefits (possibly more pronounced for women, which most people don't know).

→ Evaluate quality and risk
"Natural" doesn't mean safe or necessary. Some supplements contain active ingredients similar to prescription medications. Red yeast rice is basically a statin.

The framework applies pharmaceutical-level rigor to every compound.

What I've learned: very few supplements actually clear all these hurdles when you stop accepting marketing claims as evidence.

Ashwagandha shows promise for stress and anxiety management, but the high-quality research backing these claims remains limited. Fish oil benefits depend entirely on your current omega-3 levels, not on whether omega-3s are "good for you" in general.

Vitamin D supplementation should be guided by your blood levels, not seasonal guessing or fear.

Supplementation is highly individual.

What works for your training partner or your colleague might be completely unnecessary for you. Or worse, it might create an imbalance you didn't have before.

I use this checklist now because it focuses on what actually matters: measurable outcomes based on your specific biomarkers and health status, not trends or testimonials.

Like if you're tired of supplement recommendations based on what's popular instead of what's proven. Comment with the one supplement you're questioning right now and I'll share what the research actually says.

Do one hard thing to calm the rest

Your brain treats a full inbox the same way it treats an actual threat.

Same cortisol spike. Same shallow breathing. Same feeling that every small decision weighs 50 pounds.

Here's the thing about stress that most people miss: your nervous system doesn't measure problems objectively, it measures them relative to what you've already handled that day.

When you start your morning scrolling through emails and notifications, you're teaching your brain that low-level irritation is the baseline. Everything after that gets measured against... nothing. So yeah, that conversation with your coworker feels impossible. That decision about dinner feels exhausting.

You haven't given your system a reference point.

But when you choose something uncomfortable first thing, before the day starts making demands, something changes in how you process everything else.

Not because you're suddenly tougher.

Because you've recalibrated what "difficult" actually means.

There's research on this called prevalence-induced concept change. When people experience fewer serious problems, they don't become more satisfied, they just lower their threshold for what counts as a problem. Your brain is designed to find threats even when they're not there... so it turns minor inconveniences into major stress.

The fix is weirdly simple: give it a real challenge early, one you chose on purpose.

Cold shower for 60 seconds. Twenty pushups before coffee. Carry your groceries instead of using the cart. Take the stairs even though the escalator is right there (only 2% of people do this, by the way, not because they can't but because our brains are wired to conserve energy).

Pick one tomorrow morning.

What you'll notice isn't some dramatic transformation... it's that the rest of your day just feels lighter. The emails are still there, the decisions still need to be made, but your capacity to handle them without falling apart has shifted. You've already done something harder than replying to a passive-aggressive message or choosing what to eat for lunch.

Your nervous system has a reference point now.

This is the difference between reactive stress (things happening TO you) and proactive challenge (things you CHOOSE). One depletes you, the other builds capacity. One makes you fragile, the other makes you resilient in ways that actually stick.

Try it. Pick your challenge tonight so you're not negotiating with yourself at 6am when your brain is still foggy.

Then pay attention to how different everything feels.

Like this if you're tired of feeling reactive to every little thing, and drop a comment with the one hard thing you're committing to tomorrow morning.

From picking up the kids to unloading groceries, lifting is part of daily life. But how we lift can make a big difference in how our back and body feel, especially over time.

10/28/2025

Team care changes back pain outcomes.

750 military service members. Six weeks. Low back pain that wouldn't quit.

Half got the usual medical route - self-care advice, medications, physical therapy, pain clinic referrals when needed. The other half got all of that PLUS chiropractic care running alongside it.

Not instead of. Alongside.

The combined group did better on every single measure. Pain intensity dropped an extra 1.1 points. Disability scores improved by 2.2 more points on the Roland Morris scale. Trunk endurance increased by nearly 14 seconds, balance improved by half a second.

They also used less pain medication and reported higher satisfaction with their care.

But here's the thing that actually matters...

This wasn't about proving one approach is superior to another. It was about what happens when providers coordinate instead of operating in silos. When there's one plan with two disciplines working together, patients improve faster and more completely.

The study used linear mixed-effects regression models and controlled for site variations and demographic factors. No serious adverse events. Just better outcomes when care was integrated rather than fragmented.

I see this play out in practice. When a patient's medical doctor and chiropractor are actually communicating, sharing notes, adjusting the plan together based on what's working... that's when real progress happens. Not when they're competing for who has the "right" answer.

If you're dealing with back pain that's been hanging around too long, you might not need to choose between approaches. The evidence suggests combining them works better than picking one and hoping for the best.

Have you experienced coordinated care that actually worked? Or the opposite - providers who wouldn't talk to each other? Comment below, I'm curious what you've seen.
