You Put it on Your Skin, But Are You Willing to Eat It?https://clearviewchiropractic.net/you-put-it-on-your-skin-but-are-you-willing-to-eat-it/
No, I’m NOT suggesting that you eat your skincare products…but I AM saying this: check the ingredients in your skincare products just like you should with all processed foods! If there are words you cannot pronounce, you might want to just put it back on the shelf. Why? Because your skin is your largest organ, and believe it or not—what you put onto your skin makes its way inside your body. I think it’s safe to say there are more “hormone disrupters” in our world because of chemicals than any other time in history. Making efforts to minimize the ones you can control is really valid, because there are PLENTY in our world that we do not have control over. Chemicals you put on your skin can end up in your bloodstream! Toxic sunscreens are maybe the worst of offenders, but even moisturizers and mascaras and soaps can contain chemicals you don’t realize can harm you & your children. I use a free app called “EWG Healthy Living.” EWG is who puts out the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 List each year for pesticides found in fruits & veggies. With the app, you can scan your products and it gives you a score of how clean or how toxic your products are based on the ingredients it contains. This is a simple way you can begin to clean up the chemicals in your life and give your body a chance to heal & thrive!

The Fear of God in Someone Is A Blessing
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/the-fear-of-god-in-someone-is-a-blessing/
A while back, I was thinking about when we hear the saying, “So & So needs the Fear of God put in him!” And that’s usually stated in a situation if someone is really going off the rails and needs to be put back on the straight & narrow! But, I began to think about what a BLESSING it actually is to have a fear of God in your heart. Biblically speaking, that may actually be one of the *best* prayers you could pray for anyone you love and especially your enemies!!

What if we began to pray for a Fear of the LORD in ourselves & the hearts of people, neighbors, family, enemies, friends, politicians and strangers.
It’s the BEGINNING of wisdom according to Prov 1:7. So, what if we really internalize what that means? No wisdom can really come from a person who doesn’t fear God, so that has big implications for who we listen to and give influence in our lives. Question #1 should be – Does this person Fear God? If not, I’d genuinely think twice before giving them any space to influence your life.

What if we began to teach our kids to watch for a Fear of God in people who influence their lives, too. I think it’s a valid litmus test. And how much better if we become those people in the lives of those around us!

How Many Rocks Are In Your Backpack?https://clearviewchiropractic.net/how-many-rocks-are-in-your-backpack/
Imagine trying to swim while wearing this backpack full of rocks. Do you want to sign up for that swim? I surely don't! But, when it comes to health & longevity, you could be doing that to yourself everyday…i.e. stressors, the things that result in you feeling worse & older than you are, and not even realize it. No one ever wants to wake up feeling old & stiff, nor do we want to feel like we’re always sick and fatigued. If we can wrap our mind around the things we’re doing that are literally weighing us down, drowning our health and longevity, we can then choose to “unload” our backpack! Our entire existence can begin to change for the good. Fewer rocks in your backpack help you feel better and younger and get sick less often. So, what things could be considered heavy rocks in your backpack?

Mental/Emotional Rocks: Unforgiveness, Bitterness, Jealousy, Being too busy, Worry, Fears, Prayerlessness, Shame, Stuffing your hurts, Lack of rest/sleep

Physical Rocks: Sedentary living, Old injuries, Bad posture, Playing one-sided sports, Over-training, Bad Sleep position, Sitting at a computer all day, Muscle weakness (lack of muscle strength), Lack of flexibility

Chemical Rocks: Eating processed foods, Sugar, Vaccines, Skincare, Rx drugs, Chemicals sprayed in the air we breathe, not getting enough nutrients

What would you add to your own lists?

As we move into 2026, spend time identifying the biggest rocks in your backpack…then begin to deal with them one at a time. You’ll feel better, function better and being able to enjoy life much more!

God's Amazing Word
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/gods-amazing-word/
My family and I just got back from Israel, some of you were probably able to follow along with my daily posts on Facebook. If you didn’t get a chance & you’d like to, just head over to my personal page and you can read about each day & see pictures!

Whenever we go, the Bible comes more and more alive to us each time. I don’t believe that you have to go to Israel or any other land mentioned in the Bible to put your eyes on the places you read about in order to know & love God deeply, not even close…but it’s been our personal experience that you never read the Bible the same again after you go! After travelling the land and visiting the locations you read about, somehow it changes you. It’s as if the black and white words on the pages become living color with all manner of details, and you don’t leave the same.

But, here’s the truth—His Word has a way of doing exactly what Hebrews 4:12 tells us it does: it’s alive, it’s active, it’s sharper than any double-edged sword, it can circumcise the hardness out of hearts, judging the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts. It’s like it holds up the mirror to our true self and shows us what we need to see–and God will change us by it, if we are willing.

I hope everyone who wants to go there gets the chance to see where so much of the Bible happened for themselves, but even if you never get to physically go put your feet on that land this side of eternity…Reading God’s Word and experiencing His love and forgiveness and nearness through His Word is the superior thing. I pray that you’ll have a hunger to meet God through His Word like never before. Every moment you spend reading it & being changed by it is worth it and yields reward far beyond what you can imagine!

Sunrise & Sunset Greatly Improves Your Health
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/sunrise-sunset-greatly-improves-your-health/
Our modern lives, especially in America, have severed our connection to God’s creation in so many ways. Something our family instituted last year, is making an effort to go outside together and watch the sunset. This has become a really sweet time for us to connect with one another and put our focus back on what we’re grateful for, and giving thanks to God for how good He is to us.

Here’s what happens in a day where you pay attention to the sun…

Watching the Sunrise give you all this amazing exposure to healing red light wavelengths (the same wavelengths that people pay a lot of money for in red light therapy devices!). As the sun comes up over the horizon, the natural burst of blue light shuts off melatonin production and boosts our mood and cognitive function for the day (as opposed to the artificially produced blue light on phone, tablet & TV screens definitely DOES NOT hold health benefits for us). Watching the sunrise for just 5-15 minutes can have other significant positive effects on your health: improves your brain’s communication with your thyroid, sleep/wake cycles are properly established, energy level is improved throughout the day because red light is absorbed by your mitochondria where energy is produced in your cells, helps mood and focus by triggering serotonin production, and can help calm inflammation!

Sunset has similar benefits, but now the red light at the end of the day helps your body to start “powering down.” It signals the brain to begin producing melatonin to help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. Your body can then easily transition into rest/digest, when your parasympathetic nervous system takes over to help your body calm down.

Always end your day giving thanks!

Our modern lives, especially in America, have severed our connection to God’s creation in so many ways.

Amazing Benefits of Olive Oil
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/amazing-benefits-of-olive-oil/
If you’ve been to our Eat Well workshop, you’ll know for the past 3 years we've been doing olive oil tastings because of the incredible benefits that early-harvested olive oil has on our health! Early harvest olive oil has these incredible compounds call phenols that I want to talk about today. Oleocanthal is the anti-cancer and neuroprotective phenolic compound that is created at the point of the crushing of the olives, meaning you can’t get it any other way than by consuming the oil produced by the crushing and it must be from early harvest, not late. Secondly, I want you to know about another phenolic compound in early-harvest olive oil called Oleuropein. What makes this one so special is that it can activate a systemic effect in the body called “autophagy,” which is our body’s clean-up mechanism while fasting. But, the cool thing about using early-harvest, high-phenolic olive oil is that it can help your body do the clean-up without having to be in a long-term fast. You’d get even more incredible effects from it if you were fasting and just added the early-harvest, high-phenolic olive oil as a supplement when fasting, however, you could still take it as this really amazing anti-cancer, brain boosting, body clean-up. You might wonder why I’m specifying “early-harvest, high-phenolic olive oil,”—It’s because NOT all olive oils are created equal. Late harvest olive oil doesn’t contain these compounds, and certainly cheap olive oil that’s been unknowingly diluted with other unhealthy oils doesn’t either. So, for these amazing benefits—you have to get the good stuff! It should be very peppery in flavor and that little burn at the back of your throat tells you it’s the right stuff. Go to the link above to view this article with more links to further study on this subject and where I get my olive oil!

Overcoming Immuno-Fatigue & Building Immunity BEFORE ‘Cold/Flu Season’ (Part 2)
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/overcoming-immuno-fatigue-building-immunity-before-cold-flu-season-part-2/
If you missed part 1, you can find it at askdrsharla.com—Let’s get to the proverbial meat & potatoes of strengthening your immunity. There are things you need to add & things you need to remove:
Add:
1) optimize your Vitamin D levels, getting sunshine on your skin daily is critical, if you cannot do that then supplementing Vitamin D3 is an option. My favorite is Innate Choice Organic D Sufficiency.
2) Heal your GUT: grass-fed bone broth, probiotic foods (like organic sauerkraut) or supplements to restore optimal good bacteria, ION Gut Support daily if you have gut issues whatsoever;
3) Plenty of Vitamin C (citrus fruits and cruciferous vegetables are great sources, Vitamin A (liver, cod liver oil, carrots sweet potatoes) I like a desiccated beef organ supplement called Organ+, Elderberry;
4) Cold Plunges or Cold Showers, just 1-3 minutes can give your immune system a boost;
5) Prioritize good, restful sleep

Remove:
1) Processed sugar (in drinks or foods), it’s the easiest & fasted way to tank your immunity;
2) Products made with processed grains & white flour;
3) Processed food in general, junk food, products that contain more than 3-4 ingredients especially ones you can’t pronounce; 4) Stress;
5) Antibiotics, they can significantly decrease your immunity over time

Overcoming Immuno-Fatigue & Building Immunity BEFORE ‘Cold/Flu Season’ (Part 1)
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/overcoming-immuno-fatigue-building-immunity-before-cold-flu-season-part-1/

Let me be clear from the start—I don’t believe in the so-called Cold/Flu Season—although I fully understand people get sick more often this time of year. It’s mostly because I don’t subscribe to the Germ-Theory of disease. I do not think people ever get sick exclusively because germs are more prevalent. We are all given an immune system to fight off disease and dysfunction, and literally from the very beginning of our lives, our immune systems are either strengthened or weakened. This is why 1 person can get sick in a family and 3 stay well. Same germs…different immune responses. I believe that cold/flu season is more about typical American cultural habits tanking peoples’ already struggling immune systems even more, because of what they’re eating and stress rising during the upcoming holidays.

I want to briefly discuss how one could obtain a really robust immune system from the beginning—and you decide how many people actually get this kind of start! Moms who don’t take medications, vaccines nor antibiotics during pregnancy set their babies up for a much stronger immune system. Vaginal delivery without meds nor antibiotics are the next step to building a thriving immune system, then breast-feeding for a least 1 year and longer, add to that very delayed introduction of white flour & processed sugar into the child’s diet, and avoidance of vaccines, antibiotics and glyphosate-ridden foods which all damage the gut terribly. Don’t worry…part 2 is coming where we’ll talk about what to do NOW to strengthen your immunity!!

Wake Up & Return
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/wake-up-return/
We have reached the time of God’s Fall Feast season (the Hebrew word is “Moedim,” i.e. our Creator’s appointed times) on the Biblical Calendar. Genesis 1:14 says: “And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years…” The word “seasons” is Moedim in Hebrew. As far back as creation, one of the reasons God put the sun, moon, and stars in the sky is FOR His appointed times. How amazing is that? How much more should our hearts pay attention to these things? With that in mind, this week is the feast called, “Yom Teruah,” the day of shouting or day of making a noise, often called the “Feast of Trumpets” and blowing of shofars (ram’s horns). It’s a day characterized by the call to wake up, to call us to pay attention, ultimately to call us to come back to God. Has there ever been a more critical day for us to all come back to God? Maybe you’ve never come to Him to begin with—let today be the day.
Wake up to the evil around you, and define evil not according to our culture but God’s Words.
Wake up and know that you DO NOT have to go the way of evil or indifference or confusion any longer.
Wake up and know that God’s ways are right, they are for our good, and His instructions are called Life & Blessing in Deuteronomy 30.
The next Fall Feast is the Day of Atonement, which falls next week on October 2. Historically it’s the one day on the Biblical calendar each year when the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies in God’s Tabernacle or Temple to atone for the sins of the Hebrew people. The book of Hebrews in the New Testament explains that Yeshua, Jesus, is acting as our High Priest in Heaven. It’s a day we memorialize the fact that we all desperately need to be forgiven for our sins, and we give great glory to the One who gave His life on the cross and got up out of the grave 3 days later ALIVE so that we can be free from sin and its rule over us. Repentance means a returning. That’s literally the Hebrew definition of ‘Teshuvah,’ the word in the Bible most commonly translated “repentance.”
Turn away from your own ways. Return to God.
Turn away from the world’s ways. Return to God.
Turn away from evil in all its forms and all its ways. Return to God.
Return TO the LORD God Almighty, Yehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob and receive His Son, Yeshua as not only your Savior—but also the Lord of your life, giving Him access to cleanse you from everything that’s ever made you unclean. Repent and receive the greatest gift, the sweetest gift of all time, the ability to draw near to God and have Him draw near to you. Yeshua, Jesus is the only Way.

We have reached the time of God’s Fall Feast season (the Hebrew word is “Moedim,” i.e. our Creator’s appointed times) on the Biblical Calendar.  Genesis 1:14 says: “And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for....

The Crushing of the Olive Produces Incredible Benefits in the Oil
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/the-crushing-of-the-olive-produces-incredible-benefits-in-the-oil-2/
There is this little-known compound that occurs when an early-harvest olive is put into the press…it’s called OLEOCANTHAL, and you can’t get oleocanthal unless the crushing of the olive happens! Oleocanthal is only found in extra-virgin olive oils, and predominantly in olives picked early rather than late in the harvest season. I’m on a mission to give you all the reasons to get rid of vegetable oils, safflower oils, soybean oils and other cheap, toxic, nutrient-deficient oils that are causing MORE inflammation, disrupting your gut health/microbiome (i.e. your good bacteria which affect your digestion, brain function & hormone production). Read more about toxic oils to avoid here High-Phenolic extra virgin olive oil taken just 1-2 tablespoons/day can yield massive benefits to helping chronic pain (it acts similar to Ibuprofen but is obviously completely natural + great side-effects & no negative ones). Click here to read more on that **One characteristic of good quality oleocanthal-containing olive oil is that it is peppery in flavor and actually burns the back of the throat a bit (not in an unbearable way, but it’s a distinct sensation). If your olive oil doesn’t do that, it doesn’t contain the oleocanthal compound & these benefits wouldn’t apply. Unfortunately, many olive oils are fakes or are “cut” with other vegetable oils which ruin its quality. Research suggests that oleocanthal can help with auto-immune diagnoses like Lupus. I’m going to share an interview with Chris Wark (from Chris Beat Cancer) and Dr. Limor Goren, a cancer-researcher who gave up her role in the lab to pursue supplying high-phenolic olive oil); it’s a great interview which will give you more great insights into the benefits of adding high-quality olive oil to your diet each day!
