New decals thanks to Lick-N-Stick Customs! And wow, it is perfectly applied. The eagle over three window panes was not easy, I wasn’t even sure they would say it was possible but they nailed it. Just out of curiousity I even went out and measured to see how perfect they got and it is literally perfectly centered. Not even a centimeter off on the tips of the wings. Bridgette Heisterkamp made the design using her graphic design prowess. Let me say it
Is good to find people who are better than you at certain skills and enlist their talents. Ai could not have made a better or bolder design and the McConnells and their standard of excellence came through again. Today I am grateful it came together.

We’ve been in our new space for 3 months and officially christened it with a ribbon cutting after Java and Juice and the Jefferson Matters ambassadors. We are thankful for the opportunity to share our mission and vision with the community. We hope the moment you step in the doors you can feel that this is an environment to help healing happen. Health is important because it lets you do what you are meant to do without limits. There is nothing we enjoy more than helping you live out your mission and vision!

We get the privilege of hosting Main Street's Java and Juice at our new clinic THIS Friday, the 26th at 9:30-10am. Stop by if you would like a cup of coffee and a healthy and delightful treat prepared by my wife Heisterkamp, and to hear what we have in store for the future. We plan to have the healthiest county in Iowa in no time!

We see the 21/90 rule to be true a lot of the time. We aim to see a transformation happen within 90 days. The aim is not just pain relief, but creating normal function, in order to escape the cycle of recurring pain. Some people have more complex cases! That is when we start to add functional medicine tactics, nutrition tips, and emphasis exercise and strengthening. Most people are capable of major changes without it taking ages!

Nearly everyday we see a miracle happen! Sometimes injuries and pains go away immediately, and we love when that happens. Sometimes it's healing that people have been working on for a long time. Both are awesome to see and everyday brings hope for a greater future in health and beyond, living life unlimited!

Getting so close to moving into the new building. Just across the street from the old location, but more space, and more tools to help more people.

I was a believer in the power of light therapy before but WOW this Rojo red light panel has blown me away with how high tech and powerful it is. Comes with 10 built in protocols to help with inflammation, skin repair, nerve health, and more.

This Sunlighten infrared sauna was described to me as “the Ferrari of saunas” and I believe it. Room for 3 people, with an all touch screen command panel to help get a sweat and properly shed toxins. Toxin build up is a common cause of not being able to lose weight, especially when you have been making great choices with food, sleep, and stress and the weight still isn’t coming off, I start to think tour toxic burden is too high, which could be from exposure to chemicals or you may be a slow detoxer who needs to enhance that system.

The Hyperbaric chambers are awesome. I continue to hear amazing stories of what oxygen saturation can do and I am most excited to be able to have that here in our community.

The body was made to heal itself. Sometimes in our modern world we injure and tax ourselves on the daily until eventually something breaks, and it’s beyond what the body can heal from on its own. Sometimes all it needs is a little extra help.

I am deeper into chiropractic than ever. I am diving into the technique of applied kinesiology, in addition to other techniques, but AK has helped me simplify complex spinal issues immensely! Especially LUMBAR DISC issues.

The idea is to keep learning and growing until you have the best wellness clinic you can find anywhere in the world.

We are just a few weeks away from making the move across to the street to the building on Lincolnway that last housed Addie’s. This week the inside is being painted.

This move begins the expansion into a full functional medicine practice, outfitted with new therapies meant to help people heal.

New modalities :

1) Red Light Therapy - good for people dealing with chronic pain and inflammation, and also famous for helping with skin health.

2) Infrared Sauna - sweating means detoxing. Toxins are one of the 4 underlying causes of disease (along with stress, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition). Everyone needs a plan to deal with toxins. Ask any AI app, “Who today is toxin free? And the answer is no one. We have a beautifully designed liver and kidneys that deal with toxins that we sometimes naturally encounter and sometimes knowingly put into our bodies. Sweating can ease the burden and solve some health issues related to a toxic buildup.

3) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) - this has been around for a long time but is recently gaining popularity big time. Last week our 2 hard-sided tanks arrived. I am most excited for this therapy. What are the things we can’t live without? Nutrition, we can go without for a few weeks. Water, we can go without for a few days. Also, sleep, we can go without only for a few days. Without oxygen we last only minutes.

Our air is 21% oxygen. In a HBOT tank you breathe 95-99% oxygen and go on a dive, like a scuba diver but not under water, just under air pressure. This drives oxygen deep into the body where it may not be getting and stimulates healing. Tissue dies quickly without blood flow and oxygen. Therefore increasing circulation and oxygen saturation deep in the body stimulates healing in a way no other modality can do. This is why I am most excited for HBOT. There is nothing like it, it can’t be mimicked, and it is very powerful.

This is the tip of the iceberg for the Greater Life Health and Wellness team. We plan to continue to grow into a premier wellness clinic. We hope Greene County and our surrounding areas thrive in health and people here can live life unlimited from chronic issues.
