In the last few weeks, a viral post created a sensation out of Elderberry and now not a single store around has it. We've been recommending it for years to boost kids immune systems, but suddenly everyone wants it. Meanwhile, the 18th school shooting this year occurs and politicians talk about 'improving our mental health.' What would improve the health of this country is not an outside in approac...

So many of us say, "I don't have time to work out, read, meditate, do yoga, etc." Where did we come up with this idea that we have to work out for an hour or not work out at all? Suggestion: How about starting at 10 minutes? Same with reading, meditation, yoga, the list goes on and on. Why are we stuck on 'all or nothing?' New idea: just get started! No time? Do 5 minutes of yoga! No time? Read fo...

The concept of accumulative survival value comes from BJ Palmer. He describes accumulative constructive and destructive survival values. What direction is your life heading? Are you set on an accumulative path or destructive? It's all based on your choices. The choices you make now determine not just your tomorrow but your 20+ years from now! Learn how to focus on accumulative survival values toda...

Ram Dass said, "Be here now." How many of us are physically 'here' but mentally somewhere else? Some call this mindfulness. I prefer the term present time consciousness (or PTC for short). The question, "where are you?" then takes on a new meaning. You may be 'here', but are you really 'here?' Dr. Rubin will explain techniques that help you build your ability to have a laser focus.

BJ Palmer asked in The Story of That Something' the following question: What will you do? How do you know what you are doing is the right thing? Trust your innate, your feelings, your intuition, your instinct. Belief in yourself and what your gut tells you is right!

"We chiropractors work with the subtle substance of the soul," is how one of BJ Palmer's most famous chapters in his groundbreaking book, The Bigness of the Fellow Within. BJ speaks of chiropractic philosophy in his 1949 text, but it is really a life philosophy, that speaks of vitalism (there is an internal force that animates us that is different than the force that is in, for example, a rock)and...

What was your favorite childhood book growing up when you were first learning how to read? That might say a lot about you and who you are today! So says one of the contributors to Tim Ferriss' great new book, Tribe of Mentors. Dr Rubin picked "The Lorax", signifying his commitment to the healthcare of the kids. If you held that last seed in your hands, would it survive? Would new trees grow becaus...

Several people have been amazing mentors and one that Dr Rubin repeatedly talks about is Dr Sid Williams. Dr Sid had these great lines like "Accept the message in full faith" or "see the fields white with harvest." Listen to the amazing vision Dr Sid had and see if you can catch the feeling!

Jim Rohn's classic story of sowing and reaping uses the example of the famous saying, "An apple a day..." He says that eating an apple a day is easy to do, but it's also easy NOT to do. It's all about discipline. Success is about doing simple things that produce positive results over and over and over again.

Every year, millions of people make "New Year's Resolutions." And every year, most of those millions are feeling guilty by January 15th about not sticking with those resolutions. But as Tony Robbins talked about in his New Year's video (https://youtu.be/jL5jKptjIQw), are we REALLY resolved towards these resolutions? To be resolute means to be purposeful and unwavering. Dr Rubin helps you develop t...

How many times have we heard the comment, "I can't possibly achieve that because I'm_____(fill in the blank here)." Examples: Too old, too young, not enough education, overqualified, not enough experience. One of Dr. Rubin's was "I'm just a little guy from a little town." But listening to the great motivators like Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, and amazing chiropractors like Drs. Sid Willia...

How many of us see something and then realize there is soooo much more to what we are looking at? Yale University Medical School started several years ago bringing their 1st year Med students to their Art Museum to improve their Visual Diagnostic Abilities (see article here: https://goo.gl/ZcjA6C). Dr Rubin has started that in one of his classes at Life University, based on that article and the bo...

A powerful TED talk by Janine Shepard is titled, "A Broken Body is not Broken." What a powerful concept. It goes along with the concept, "It's not how many times you get knocked down but how many times you get up that counts." During the challenging times, remember, as Zig Ziglar used to say, "you were born to win, designed to win, endowed with the seeds of greatness."

Ever wonder why Colgate toothpaste boxes read, "Go see your dentist twice a year," and not "click on this link for the Colgate dentist near you?" Because they are trying to promote ALL of dentistry! Not just the ones who signed up for a certain zip code. This podcast originally aired over 1 year ago, and is the 2nd most listened to in Chirocast. Listen and tell us what you think!

The Power of Now is an amazing book by Eckhart Tolle, one that should be on your must-read list. This podcast is by far the most listened to in our 'collection', and even though it originally aired almost 2 years ago, it is just as relevant today as we embark on the next 365 days. The way to reach your goals is to first set them, then to live in the present moment with intense focus or present tim...
