Jordan has been an inspiration to be around in his health transfomation. I specifically remember on his first visit when he said that the pain he was experiencing was preventing him from exercising, and that was his “why” of coming to Active Life. Mission accomplished! He not only can exercise without pain, but he has lost 50 pounds! Read his testimonial below!

“When I returned to serious training, my back, hips, and neck were constantly sore. I looked terrible and felt far from my former athlete self. Several of my players and their families recommended Active Life, so I gave Dr. Sara a try.

She transformed my recovery. I no longer need multiple days off after intense sessions. I can lift heavy, do incline cardio, and play basketball without pain. I feel well on my way back to my former athlete self.

Since restarting training, I have lost over fifty pounds. InBody tracking shows I dropped over eight percent body fat while increasing skeletal muscle mass. We accomplished this through smart workouts, careful nutrition, and planned recovery days, without drastic weight loss methods or medications.

Chiropractic care and her advice were my missing piece. I recommend it to bigger guys and former athletes who want to get back to their best!”

Want to change? Call us and we’d love to be a part of your health team!

We just received another great review on Facebook:

🎉Teacher Spotlight Winner Announcement 🎉
We joined Century High School and Horizon Middle School at their orchestra concert to present Mr. Jeremy Overbeck with the Teacher Spotlight Award! Mr. Overbeck truly shows what is is like to dedicate himself to his students and to always want the best for them. His student nominations really show how much he enjoys getting to know the students, wants them to succeed in every aspect of life, and is always there for them no matter what. He had many great nominations, but here are is a couple things the students had to say,

"He was so passionate, eccentric, and a little crazy. How can someone care that much about an instrument, let alone teaching a class. He made class feel like something we got to do, and not had to, and he himself always looked at it as the best parts of his day. At that point, I was a pretty advanced violin player and was getting a bit bored. Overbeck always found ways for me to work harder, to improve, and even the simplest songs began to become learning opportunities for me. Orchestra is now my favorite part of the day. He also takes time to offer lessons - which has helped many students succeed. Century has the best orchestra in Bismarck, and is one of the top orchestras statewide. 3 years down, 3 to go, and I still wish I could go back and start over again so it would never end. However, I cannot wait to watch him bawl his eyes out at our senior concert! (because he loves all his students so much - and his big heart cannot handle when we leave) Let's be honest, I probably will be crying too. I ask myself everyday - even with many years left - how am I going to be able to let go of this amazing teacher? The answer is simple - Overbeck has left me with skills beyond music. As a teacher - he has given me the gift of music. As a friend - he has given me tremendous joy as amazing experiences. As long as I hold these memories, I will always remember how amazing Overbeck is! "

"I have no idea how any teacher could be better. He is so deserving of this award!"

"He has supported all of us every day, and is an overall amazing teacher."

"My orchestra teacher deserves the spotlight as Teacher of the Year because he brings so much energy, humor, and heart into everything he does. He’s not only funny and cool, but he always tries his absolute best to make class fun and engaging for everyone. I’ve learned so much from him. not just about music, but about life, teamwork, and how to have fun. He truly cares about his students and creates an environment where everyone feels supported and inspired to do their best."

If you have a teacher or know of a teacher that you think is deserving of this award, nominate them by clicking the link below: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSf4fShZKuzrTi.../viewform

Once again and always a huge thank you to everyone that partnered with us to make this program such a great success

In another episode of "What our patients are saying" :

One of my almost 90 year old patients said after getting adjusted yesterday..." This is the only Doctor I go to where I actually feel better when I leave, and I love coming to get adjusted!"

Happy to help you Miss Marion...happy to help! 😁

Zoe is a multi-sport HS athlete who just started training with Coach James, our Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, and she had an AWESOME first session today!! 😁😁😁

From James: When I first start coaching ANYONE, I tell them my top three non negotiable priorities are as follows: do no harm to the athlete/client (this one mostly falls on me), make training, the environment, and the culture something they enjoy and have fun with. Training should be FUN. Not easy, but simple! 😁

The last rule I have for them is to do their absolute BEST to get better and improve something each day, I do not care what it is. Whether it’s rembering the name of an exercise, getting to know someone new in the facility, or setting a new 1RM (one rep max) let’s aim to progress everyday!😁

That means quality movement comes first!!! It also means understanding that learning is part of the process! 👍

At the beginning, not everything needs to look polished. As long as the athlete is in a safe position and not placed at risk, it is perfectly okay to document movement that is still being learned. Nobody starts out moving exactly how they will months down the road, and they shouldn’t feel bad about that!!! That’s why they have come to us at Active Life, to learn and be guided!! 💪😁

Initial sessions like this allow me to assess capabilities, overall movement quality, and experience level, while also getting to know the athlete so I can better gauge appropriate intensity moving forward! 😁

Zoe showed so much effort and such a great attitude today I am so proud of her!!

Looking back i saw that she’s more physiologically capable and mature than most (not all) athletes her age. Because of that, her program will progress a bit faster as we build on what we established today!! 😁

This is the POINT of documenting the process! Not to showcase perfection, but to show progress over time. Months from now, this same movement will look so much better! No matter who you are….all athletes and non athletes had to start somewhere!

Come start training with us Active Life Chiropractic!! 😁😁

It's Testimonial Tuesday!!

Here is what Norah, a high school athlete, has to say about chiropractic care:

"I was always having shoulder and neck pain as a full time athlete. Coming in to have regular appointments with Dr. Doug and Dr. Sara has been so great and my soreness and pain has almost disappeared. Also adding Stemwave has helped with my shoulder and recovery time."

Athletes of all ages benefit from chiropractic care. Call us to get scheduled @ 701-255-4241

We are excited to announce our new strength and conditioning coach, James! James has extensive background in training athletes, specifically our kids and many of our kids’ friends. We have seen so many gains personally through his training that we decided to add James to our team, and we are so excited for the opportunity for you all to join in his training! He gravitates toward the athletes, but he trains people of all ages. James will teach you how to safely move better, get stronger, and reach your goals. Here is James’ bio!

Strength and Conditioning Coach
AA, BS, MS in Kinesiology
NSCA - Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist

Hi everyone, I am James, and I am the Strength and Conditioning Coach here at Active Life!

I was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas where I began my career in kinesiology. I earned my Associate degree in 2013 and worked as a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym. Following the COVID pandemic, I returned to school and completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in kinesiology at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi.

With a background in BMX freestyle and personal experience navigating injury and rehabilitation, my passion for strength and conditioning developed early. I gained hands-on experience working with Division 1 athletics during my undergraduate internship and later earned by Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential.

During graduate school, I served as a teaching assistant, contributed to sports performance research presented at the national level, and was recognized as Outstanding Islander Graduate. I went on to coach at the collegiate level before joining Active Life, where I apply exercise physiology principles to help individuals move better, build strength safely, and transition from care into structured training.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and exploring new places with my wife, Cassie, and our two dogs.

I look forward to helping athletes, former athletes, and people of all ages achieve their goals of increased performance and better movement!
