Breaking the Cycle: Prioritizing Health for Stressed Out, Worn Out Dads
Hey there, busy dads!
Being a dad is no easy task, and it's easy to fall into the trap of accepting poor health as just a part of the job. But let's be real, neglecting our health isn't setting a good example for our kids. We need to prioritize our health and take care of ourselves so that we can be the best dads possible.
Sure, it's easy to joke about the "dad bod" and all the health challenges that come with it, but relying on prescription drugs to treat these issues isn't the answer.
We want to stop thinking about poor health as unavoidable because you're stressed and worn out.
Our kids look up to us and emulate our actions and habits, so it's important that we set a good example for them.
When dads prioritize their health, it has a ripple effect on the entire family. Studies show that when dads are active, fit, and healthy, it changes everything for the family. Your children will see the importance of taking care of their health and follow your lead. So, let's prioritize our health and set a good example for our families.
The Ripple Effect: How Dads' Health Impacts the Entire Family
I am aware that some of you may be skeptical about chiropractic care, but I can assure you that research and actual clinical experience support it.
Most likely, you always feel worn out, in pain, and weary. You are aware of the self-care practices you ought to be practicing, but you just can't seem to find the energy needed to carry them out.
I don't need to enter and attempt to be mindset coach, a nutritionist, or an exercise coach. However, I must be honest with you. The truth is that when we are anxious and worn out, our brain switches to a protective mode, making it difficult to make sound choices for our health.
Our nervous system is frequently stuck in a cycle of stress and ADHD in today's fast-paced society.
Our brain, which is the main controller of our body, determines our capacity to make wise decisions and take decisive action. But when we're too exhausted to work out or do other healthy things, our brains are more likely to choose instant gratification, like indulging in sweet foods and watching TV.
For dads whose health is causing them growing amounts of stress, this can be the equivalent of the Perfect Storm.
Dads often overlook their own health as a result of being swamped with responsibilities.
The good news is that getting healthy is actually easier for men than it is for moms, the wonderful individuals who actually run our everyday lives. You can become healthy much quicker than you might imagine by following the proper steps and structuring your actions.
Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care: The Key to Restoring Dad's Energy and Health
So how do you get started?
In fact, getting your nervous system checked for stress is the first step.
You might be thinking, "Of course you're going to say that, you're a chiropractor!" and I understand what you're thinking.
However, let me describe a dad scan to you in order to clarify the science involved.
Dads who come to us for chiropractic care first undergo a baseline exam known as an INSiGHT scan before receiving any chiropractic adjustments.
This assesses the condition of your nervous system and provides a clear picture of the possible causes of your ongoing discomfort or fatigue. It functions as a sort of health cheat code.
The INSiGHT EMG Scan
I want to focus on a recent dad scan from our office.
Three key points should be noted. The EMG's colors, which indicate neuromuscular strain or physical tension and exhaustion. The first indicator you'll see is that almost all dads have excessive amounts of stress in their necks, shoulders, and low backs. Due to this, dads frequently express symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, or low back problems.
The yellow on the EMG scan, which is the opposite of red and denotes a weak core, is problem number two. The majority of modern dads work desk jobs that require them to sit for long periods of time. Your neurological system might suffer severe damage from this sedentary lifestyle, especially in the mid-thoracic region. Your body's stress-relieving and protecting adrenal glands are found in this region of the spine.
Dads are basically God's creation to provide protection, so they are naturally expected to have more energy. They're expected to have more zeal, grit, and muscle to push through and take care of things for their family.
However, if this portion of your nervous system becomes overworked, it can result in adrenal exhaustion and leave you feeling worn out.
In order to workout efficiently, your neuromuscular system is essential. You'll struggle to find the energy, flexibility, and mobility you need to exercise safely and regularly if your nervous system is stressed and worn out, which is frequently the case for busy dads. In fact, straining too much in this situation can result in harm and setbacks.
Becoming an Energetic and Healthy Dad: Chiropractic care can help you!
Chiropractic care can help you build a solid foundation for improved physical fitness, dietary habits, and mental health by concentrating on the health of your nervous system.
We'll work to make adjustments that decrease tension, activate your core, and energize your nervous system over the first 30 to 90 days of chiropractic care.
Simply show up for your appointments, and we'll take care of the rest. Chiropractic care is the best health advice for dads since it relieves the burden of having to handle things alone.
The INSiGHT HRV Scan
The HRV or Heart Rate Variability scan, is the second scan we check.
The tiny white dot on the scan represents the dad's stress level, and as you move towards the lower left, it displays increasing levels of stress and exhaustion.
The entire body and neural system may get exhausted as a result of this ongoing tension in the shoulders, low back, core, and adrenals.
While diet, vitamins, and exercise can help with some symptoms, chiropractic care is the only solution that addresses the root cause of stress.
Our goal is to show you that there is a way to break free from the cycle of worry, tiredness, and feeling awful.
Chiropractic care, an essential part of the family health system, can help you get healthy and active. For dads who wish to regain their energy and get healthy, it is the most practical approach.
