Striving to be the best possible version of me and a phenomenal chiropractor. I tweet about mainly health and the Houston Astros and other positive things.
@BrekErickson@MLB Ignorant statement. No one said they didn’t. But if you were even as sharp as an old sponge you know Yordan was nowhere near this team at that point. And there is zero proof of buzzers.
The real magic of strength training
isn’t what it does to your muscles.
It’s what it does to your identity.
You stop seeing your body as fragile.
You start seeing it as:
- Adaptable
- Capable
- Resilient
That’s the transformation that keeps
you coming back.
Having a strong, healthy body is the
real flex.
Anyone can finance a luxury vehicle.
You can't finance discipline.
You can't lease consistency.
You can't make payments on years
of keeping promises to yourself.
A strong body is proof you showed
up when you didn't feel like it.
@dr_ericberg I don't have much problem in my normal meals eating clean. But if you get me around bite sized candy bars.....it's not pretty lol. I never buy them but sometimes patients bring them around.
I have spent 20 years studying what actually extends healthy human life.
Here is what the research says over and over again:
1️⃣ Move your body naturally throughout the day, not just in a gym
2️⃣ Eat real, whole food that came from the earth
3️⃣ Sleep 7 to 9 hours in a cool, dark room
4️⃣ Manage your stress before it manages you
5️⃣ Invest in close, meaningful relationships
The fundamentals are not boring. They are the most powerful longevity tools available.
Master them first. 💪🏻
Your doctor never asked why your cholesterol was high. They just lowered the number.
As a cardiac surgeon, I've seen what that approach misses and it can cost people their lives.

I am building new arteries inside my body right now.
Not with surgery. Not with drugs. With exercise.
Your body has a backup system most doctors never tell you about. It is called collateral circulation. When a coronary artery narrows, your body can grow entirely new blood vessels to route blood around the blockage.
Natural bypasses. Built by your own biology. Triggered by movement.
I stopped outsourcing my health to a counter
I walked into CVS today and watched two people standing in line waiting for their prescriptions.
I used to be one of them. Standing at that counter. Picking up my statin. Picking up my blood pressure medication. Believing that this counter was keeping me alive.
It was not.
I have nothing against pharmacies. Nothing against pharmacists. They are doing their job inside a system that was never designed to make you healthy. It was designed to manage your symptoms.
Nobody at that counter is going to test your fasting insulin. Nobody is going to check your inflammation. Nobody is going to ask what you ate today or how you slept last night or whether your stress is slowly destroying your arteries.
The pharmacy is not the problem. The problem is that we have been trained to believe the pharmacy is the solution.
It is not.
The solution is on your plate. In your bed at 10 PM. On the walking path at 7 AM. In the blood work your doctor refuses to order.
I take zero medications at 58. Not because I am lucky. Because I stopped outsourcing my health to a counter and started owning it myself.
The local drug store is not going to save us. We have to save ourselves. One meal. One walk. One night of sleep. One decision at a time.

Friendly reminder
Oil takes months to extract, refine, and ship worldwide. Yet, a conflict starts overseas and gas prices spike the very next day. The fuel at your local station was purchased months ago. That immediate price hike is a completely rigged monopoly.
