Most people assume they'll know when they have a problem with their spine.

The criteria is simple... it hurts!

Until that point, the spine is just a bag of bones doing it's job to keep us upright.

Imagine if that's how we thought about our teeth?

All good until your tooth hurts.

How about the heart?

No problem here, until the first heart attack that is.

The list could go on...

When it comes to the body, there's so much more going on than meets the eye.

If we depend on pain to give us an alert that a problem exists, we'll end up waiting for too long and in some cases, it can even be too late.

On today's episode of Life By Design I talk about the most "obvious" causes of spinal problems and one significant but less considered possibility.

What I Covered:

• How the spine works and why it's more important than you've probably ever realized.
• When do symptoms first appear? What should you do?
• Problem #1: obvious but less of a problem than expected.
• Problem #2: a much bigger source of spinal problems but far underappreciated.
• Problem #3: the most difficult to understand and comprehend of all spinal problems.
• The Missing Link: the answer to nearly every spinal problem, or at least the starting point!

One of the most under appreciated facets of health is the gut.

In the past, the digestive system was seen as a simple system.

Food entered and left one long tube, only to be digested and nutrients absorbed along the way.

Now, an incredible amount of research is accumulating to establish the gut as a primary focus for disease reversal and health optimization.

The "gut" is referring to the micro organisms living inside the intestines.

This biome includes 100's of different species of bacteria working together to produce a healthy environment.

On today's episode of Life By Design, we discuss what to do and not to do when it comes to improving your gut health. 

What We Covered:

• What is the gut and why is it important?
• Signs of an unhealthy gut.
• How to start enhancing gut repair and healing
