Is there a time that parents can affect their child’s health? The first 1,000 days - the period between conception and a child's second birthday. This is the time of rapid development of the brain, the body, and the immune system; and requires proper nutrition as fuel to drives a child's early development. Jerry Baker has the research that backs up this truth, with the specific vitamins and minerals needed for this early development. Jerry explains this on today’s show.
Topics for today—
-Why parents (especially if you’re American) need to know this and be proactive early.
-how a “mom-to-be” can be deficient in these minerals and vitamins to effect development even during pregnancy.(iodine, omega-3, vitamin D, calcium, folate, and iron).
-can all these minerals and vitamins come from the standard American diet? Or a prenatal?

We have an epidemic of chronic pain in America. Over 50% of all doctors visit are for spine or body pain. Out of our own pockets, we billions spend on unnecessary tests and procedures. Of the 141 medical schools in the U.S., only 15% require any training. When doctors don’t have the training to adequately diagnosis and treat these conditions they prescribe potent and addictive pain medications. Is this the reason for this Epidemic?
Dr. Calvin Hargis is a Chiropractic Orthopedist and author of “Healing the Human Machine.” He as also the creator of several home tools to help pain suffers help themselves. He is here to help us understand a better solution to fix our pains, and give us the research why.
Today’s Topics:
-what is a chiropractic orthopedist? And how does it allow you to help patients differently?
-how has chronic pain become an epidemic in America? Is the medical approach working?
-how has chiropractic become one of the leading cures for chronic pain, that people still don’t know about?
-What tools in knowledge do you use to help diagnose and treat people chronic pain?
-do you provide your patience with at home care solutions for their pains?
