My Grandpa: A Life Well-Lived for 98 Years
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/my-grandpa-a-life-well-lived-for-98-years/
My Grandpa, Dr. Dave Mitchell, passed away last week at 98 years old. He is 100% the reason that I became a Chiropractor. I watched him from the time I was very little taking care of people, “fixing” people, helping people, serving people inside and outside of the four walls of his practice. I watched him adjust people on tailgates of trucks and bleachers at ballgames and haybales at rodeos. He spent almost 50 years in his practice, Mitchell Chiropractic Life Center in Alamogordo, NM (which still thrives today) and then Albuquerque, NM. After retiring from his regular practice he went on to serve Southern NM from Ruidoso to El Paso and every place in between adjusting race horses, jumping horses and rodeo performance horses and their owners! He was still giving adjustments up into his 90’s-he never stopped taking care of the people (and the animals). My Grandpa was an inspiration and mentor to so many Chiropractors over the years, teaching Thompson Technique seminars (this is the technique we use at Clearview utilizing the drop tables). He was in Davenport, Iowa at Palmer College of Chiropractic when Dr. Clay Thompson was developing the technique and tables that we use today.
I am the 11th out of 12 Chiropractors in my family now, and my Grandpa has played a HUGE role in what we do and how we serve you here at Clearview. Dr. Corey & Dr. Erica are starting that same trend in their family, too! By the end of 2027, there will be 5 Chiropractors in their family! It is my great honor and joy to share a little bit of Dr. Mitchell’s legacy with you; 20 years of Clearview Chiropractic Life Center stands upon the solid foundation he laid back in 1956 at Mitchell Chiropractic Life Center in New Mexico.

No words can express what he meant to me, and no words can express how thankful I am that he was here for 98 years, and that he was my Grandpa. He’s 100% the reason I became a Chiropractor. I spent years listening to & observing his devoted care for his patients and for all of us, and implementing those principles he taught me into Clearview Chiropractic Life Center. They didn’t come any better than Doc Mitchell. I’ll miss him every single day. I had Boss on his birthday, that remains one of the most special things in all my life, what a sweet gift from the Lord that is. When they’re 98 you know this day is coming, and yet it still doesn’t make your heart hurt less, but there are equal amounts of thanksgiving through the tears🥹🙌🏼❤️

Dr. Dave “Doc” Mitchell, age 98, stepped into the arms of Jesus on April 13, 2026. He was born on March 13, 1928, in Crowell, Texas, to Martin Luther and Jessie Mitchell, the middle of three children. When Dave was three, his family moved to Ropesville, Texas, where they farmed cotton. They la...

3 Things That Make You Age Faster Than You Should
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/3-things-that-make-you-age-faster-than-you-should/
I don’t think that you get old & stiff…I happen to think you get stiff first, and THAT makes you feel old. Losing flexibility as you age plays a huge role in how young or old you “feel.” Stretching is so important, but so is getting adjusted! Keeping your joints in alignment helps maintain the discs between the bones in your spine and prevents degeneration (aka arthritis) in your spine.
The next factor is nutrition & hydration—are you actually getting the nutrients you need? Eating a real food or whole food diet is one of the best ways to make sure you get the nutrients you need, but also AVOID processed foods, processed sugars and seed oils. How inflamed you are really determines how old you feel, and processed foods fast track you to feeling old. Join us for our Eat Well workshop next Tuesday 4/21 if you want a kickstart toward cleaning up your diet & starting to feel better!
The next factor is sleep quality. Repair happens when you sleep, so if you’re staying up too late watching TV or not resting well in the night, that can really affect how your body starts to feel over time. Make sure your room is cool and dark, block blue light from your eyes as soon as the sun goes down by not looking at screens or using high-quality blue-light blocking glasses. Stress plays a huge role in being able to calm your mind enough to sleep. Here’s where the old phrase, “Let go and let God” might genuinely help, if you actually are brave enough to do it. Are you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? That stress could be weighing you down to the point that it’s causing your physical body to age faster than you should be.

Bread of Life vs. Bread of Death
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/bread-of-life-vs-bread-of-death/
If you’ve ever been to one of our Tuesday night workshops, you know where I’m going with this! I believe that enriched white and wheat flour may be one of the most toxic and dangerous foods to our health in America today. I am a HUGE proponent of grinding your own flour, using organic wheatberries, and leaving the “enriched” stuff alone and eating nothing that is made with it! This would include MOST processed foods in the store. I want to invite you to begin reading labels and notice how many pre-packaged items contain “enriched” flour. The word enriched should be indicating something superior or better, this is NOT the case with flour, it’s so much worse because the nutrients are literally extracted/sifted out and then synthetic vitamins and minerals are added back, but in miniscule amounts compared to what was taken. When you’re looking at labels, look for items that just plainly say “wheat flour” instead of “enriched wheat flour.” But that’s not all you need to look for. If it’s a wheat or corn product, you need to find the “organic” label on it, or just say no. Why? Because most grains in America are sprayed with Round-up (glyphosate is the active, highly-toxic chemical) for w**d control during the growing season, and again in order to harvest them. Glyphosate exposure has been linked to 40+ different diseases according to Toxic Legacy, a book by Stephanie Seneff. Primarily she notes that Glyphosate kills our gut bacteria, interrupts our hormones, creates “leaky gut”, and pulls vital minerals out of our bodies leading to all manner of dys-function. There are reasons other countries (like Italy) outlaw it!! Ask anyone who’s travelled overseas & we’ll all tell you the bread there doesn’t affect us the same way. Choose organic, non-enriched flour products only OR make your own bread! And adding ION and BEAM minerals are my #1 go-to for helping us restore what glyphosate has taken from us! Heal the gut, heal your body!

PART 2: Do We Yearn to Hear Those Words One Day? If So, It Changes Everything About How We Live Now
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/part-2-do-we-yearn-to-hear-those-words-one-day-if-so-it-changes-everything-about-how-we-live-nowdo-we-yearn-to-hear-those-words-one-day/
The phrase comes from the very familiar parable that Yeshua (Jesus) taught in Matthew 25:14-30, which we talked about in PART 1. I think one of the biggest challenges in multiplying the gifts that God has given each of us in our generation is the sheer magnitude of distractions that exist! Even if you’re not addicted to your phone or social media, it’s still overwhelming the amount of information coming at us and the number of voices vying for your ear to hear them. If you’re not whole-heartedly tuned-in to what God is saying, it makes it really hard to be the diligent servant who is busy about The Father’s business and multiplying what He’s given to you.
Do you know that Yeshua said the phrase “He who has ears, let him hear…” 15 times in Matthew (11:15, 13:9, 13:43), Mark (4:9, 4:23, 7:16), Luke (8:8, 14:35) and the Book of Revelation (once to each of the 7 assemblies in Rev 2 and 3)!! His point?? If you have ears to hear Him, His truth, His Voice, it will change your urgency of obeying what He says!
If we have ears to hear what God is saying, we must grow increasingly deaf to the sounds of the world, to the sounds of our own flesh, and to the sound of the enemies lies that are all working against what God’s purposes are for us and for what He’s entrusted to us. I fully believe that if we are to hear those words, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” it will be because we had hearts, minds, and ears tuned to hear His voice and purposely shut off all the other noise.

Do We Yearn to Hear Those Words One Day?
If So, It Changes Everything About How We Live Now
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/do-we-yearn-to-hear-those-words-one-day-if-so-it-changes-everything-about-how-we-live-nowdo-we-yearn-to-hear-those-words-one-day/

Matthew 25:14-30 is all about what is given to us and how faithful we are to DO something with what we’ve received. But, 2 words really stand out to me as I read it again:
14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to
a far country, who called his own servants and
delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave
five talents, to another two, and to another one, to
each according to his own ability; and immediately he went
on a journey.
We are held accountable for what we do with what God gives us to steward. Are we utilizing what He’s given us or are we squandering it? The 2 servants that heard well done from the master were the ones that did something to grow and increase what He had given them. The servant who was called wicked and lazy is the one who buried what he was given and did nothing with it. What are you doing with what God has given you? Not everyone is entrusted with the same thing. Don’t waste your time longing for what He gave someone else, instead focus on the goods He gave to you to steward…and then pray, seek, ask Him how to increase and one day hear the glorious words, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

WELCOME TO CLEARVIEW, DR. COREY MCGREGOR!!

YES!! We're ADDING a 3rd Chiropractor to our staff, but not just any Chiropractor qualifies to join Clearview--We are so overjoyed to welcome Dr. Corey McGregor, husband of Dr. Erica, to our family! These two really are as precious and genuine as they seem, on top of the critical fact that they are great Chiropractors. Dr. Corey will be adjusting part-time on Monday & Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings to start.

YES!! You read that right..we're expanding our hours to add Wednesday afternoons from 2:30-5:30pm beginning April 15th. With the addition of another Doctor and another afternoon, we are going to be able to take new patients again after months of having to turn people away because our schedule wouldn't allow it. This enables us to serve our community better and that makes us so happy. Your referrals mean everything to us!

NO!! I'm not leaving & I'm not retiring :) But my schedule is going to change a bit so that I'm not on my feet for the entire super-long days we work on Mondays & Thursdays. Many of you know the injury I had (3 years ago next month!), and this schedule change will help me extend my career another 20 years, LORD willing. I also want to help raise up the next generation of great Chiropractors who truly want to serve God and people the way that we do here at Clearview. We are immensely blessed to have two of those Doctors here with us now!

Stay-tuned as we're still figuring out our exact schedule with 3 doctors, we'll be sharing that ASAP! Our Online scheduling will be reflecting our new schedule hopefully by the end of this week.

Blessings upon blessings,
Dr. Sharla

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
