Taking Care of Your Health This year more than ever, we are wanting a fresh clean start. With new year’s resolutions in mind and health, weight loss and exercise being some of American’s top resolutions, we set out to create our plan for the new year. “Each year 40% - 45% of adults make one or more resolutions or goals for themselves. Research shows that 75% make it past the first week, and 46% make it past 6 months. Now while a lot of people break their resolutions, statistics on New Year’s resolutions show that setting goals for yourself is still good because you are 10 times more likely to attain your goal, rather than people who don’t explicitly make goals.” ~ www.proactivechange.com Some of your goals may be as simple as overcoming your fear of needles or remembering to make an appointment to get your teeth cleaned. Or you may have a problem with your back or knees that you have been putting off looking into. Very often we put off taking care of our bodies until the situation gets so bad we just can’t live with it anymore. But you don’t have to live that way. We have so many good providers and services in the area, all you really need to do is pick up the phone and make an appointment. To help you get started, here is a list of some of the ones we know about. We have asked them to tell you a little about themselves and their practice so that you can get a feel for them. With their help, this could be a very good year for you if you just remember to take care of yourself.

Sharon Holloway It is amazing what massage therapy can do to heal the body and mind. It helps relax the body as a preventative measure, removing stress and soothing muscle tension. Therapeutic massage for occupational pains and other physical therapy are available for those who may be currently suffering. In addition to massage therapy, biological technology is available to aid in healing. A certified technician uses very low level lasers to nourish and repolarize cells and membranes. With over 20 years of experience I can answer questions about your health and how bioenergy technology or massage therapy can help. I am now also offering a special $20 healing and cleansing session with a healing blanket and detox foot bath.
The Hearing Center Lyric®: The 100% invisible hearing device you can wear 24/7. Imagine—exceptional sound quality from a hearing device you can wear day and night for months at a time, comfortably and invisibly. You don’t have to imagine it – it’s called Lyric®, and you can find it at The Hearing Centers of San Jose and Morgan Hill. Designed for those with mild to moderately severe hearing loss, Lyric works with the ear’s anatomy to provide exceptional sound. The outer ear guides sounds naturally into the ear canal where the device is placed. “I recommend Lyric for my patients who are unsatisfied with the sound quality and cosmetic look of conventional hearing aids,” says audiologist Dr. Joseph Ferrito, founder and director of The Hearing Center whose practice was among the first in the Bay Area to offer this technology. “It’s also a great first choice for those who have never worn a hearing device before.” Lyric is put in place during a routine office visit. No surgery or anesthesia is required. Each Lyric will last up to 120 days, and then is simply exchanged for a brand new device. Lyric may not be right for everyone. To learn more, call us today to make an appointment. Look for our ad on page 16 to locate the office nearest to you.

Acupuncture & Herbal Clinic As an acupuncturist, I have seen an increased number of clients in my clinic seeking my services for stress related complaints such as; anxiety, worry, insomnia, headaches, muscle tension, anger, frustration, digestive upset, depressed immune system and high blood pressure. These symptoms are simply your body telling you something…that your body is out of balance and is sending you a message. Listening to these messages and making changes to address them is the best way towards a healthy, balanced life. Stress affects our bodies by sending us into a fight or flight response where the sympathetic nervous system is dominating leading to symptoms such as high blood pressure, tension, headaches, neck and back pain, anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. Acupuncture can help by calming the sympathetic nervous system. Within minutes of the placement of tiny needles, the nervous system switches over to the parasympathetic nervous system which is involved in rest, recovery and regeneration of the body. We need a balance between these two nervous systems for the body to function properly. Acupuncture relaxes the body, allowing its physiology to return to homeostasis or balance. Given the stress in our world today, I highly recommend acupuncture as a “tune –up” for your nervous system to help keep your body running at it’s optimal potential… thus preventing illness and imbalances before they arise. Ahnna Goossen, licensed acupuncturist and studio director of Yoga Bella, has been practicing in the South Valley for the past 8 years at the Acupuncture and Herbal Clinic of Gilroy.

Gillard, a Cum Laude graduate of Life University, received his bachelors of science in biology at Ferris State University where he was also honored as that school’s only 6-time All-American in NCAA and NAIA collegiate Track and Field; he was recently inducted into the Athletic Hall Of Fame. After 10 years of Olympic-Level competition in the Hammer—he was a member of two Olympic Festival teams and an alternate on the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team —a severe back injury forced him into retirement. Thereafter, he dedicated himself to understanding the pathophysiology of spine pain and has become a world known authority. The doctor also created, owns and operates ChiroGeek.Com, which is one of the most comprehensive and patient-friendly websites on the subject of back pain—he gets over 70,000 hits per month on the ad-free site. Patients that even include medical doctors from all over the world seek his opinions through consultation for their often complex pain syndromes. And now he’s available to his hometown for a fraction of the cost. COME ON IN! For the mere price of a couple of frozen yogurts, you can have your chronic pain evaluated and treated in a beautiful state-of-the-art office with absolutely no hard chiropractic “sell.” The doctor does not believe in selling the patient an often-wasted treatment plans.
