Health Essentials

Your first Maximized Living visit is focused on helping you understand your current state of health, assessing your lifestyle, and setting your wellness goals. Everyone has unique needs, desires, and challenges, so our approach is customized and specific to you!

By incorporating The 5 Essentials of Maximized Living into your life, you’ll not only look and feel your best, you are most likely to be healthier with a body that’s better equipped to fight illness and disease.

Maximized Mind™

The 5 Essentials start with understanding the true principles of health, healing, and creating a mindset of success.

This right, renewed mindset about health and wellness is necessary in order to commit to following any lifestyle plan.

Maximized Mind is also concerned with challenges such as time and stress management, a lifestyle that supports healthy brain function, neurological nutrients, and the adequate sleep you need in order to express good mental health.

  • The first step is truth in health care – understanding the importance of health and how the modern medical system is failing us.
  • It’s also critical to understand the additional stresses modern life is adding and how they are presented in symptoms like stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, mental health disorders, and the skyrocketing growth of prescription medicine.
  • Once you understand the importance of health and assess exactly where you are today, the next step is a plan rooted in The 5 Essentials.

Maximized Nerve Supply™

The 5 Essentials are based on the proven importance of maintaining proper function of the nervous system through spinal correction.

Your spine is the lifeline that connects all cells, organs, and systems in the body, making it responsible for all function and healing. By optimizing the nerve supply, you allow the body’s systems to interact and integrate without interference, unlocking the body’s own natural potential for health, healing, and peak performance.

Improper spinal alignment is common and likely due to the physical, emotional, and chemical stress you apply to your body every day.

These misalignments diminish nerve supply, weakening the body, therefore causing poor function and the symptoms of bad health. This means nerve supply must be addressed as the foundational challenge to living at your full potential.

It is important to find a doctor who is trained in the detection and correction of spinal abnormalities.  This includes proper spinal correction, rehab, and the home care necessary for maximum correction of the spine and nervous system.

Maximized Quality Nutrition™

The 5 Essentials are built on the idea that the right nutritional science sustains well-being, disease prevention, and ideal weight.

What you put into your body affects how your body functions as well as how you feel each and every day. Diets that are high in grains and sugars, have pH or omega-3 imbalances, or are nutrient deficient, have negative effects on your body and can cause disease and other symptoms.

  • Maximized Living knows that every human is different – we’re focused on helping you understand and solve your body’s specific nutritional needs.
  • Our programs move beyond simple weight loss to improving body composition, helping improve the body’s muscle-to-fat ratio. This is a vital goal for better health, one we’re proud to help thousands of people around the world accomplish each and every day.
  • Our nutritional assessments help to create a blueprint of your unique needs for energy, resilience, immunity, and overcoming or preventing illness.
  • Assessments give us the real data necessary to help you finally understand your current nutritional baseline and use solid information – not a fad diet – as a plan for eating better and what supplements you really do or do not need.

Maximized Oxygen and Lean Muscle™

The 5 Essentials’ cutting edge exercise programs work to facilitate optimum fitness in minimal time.  This helps ensure that no matter how busy you are, you can give your body the exercise required to keep it running in top shape.

Exercise allows your body to take in higher levels of oxygen and creates lean muscle that keeps both your body and mind healthy. Studies have shown that exercise consistently matches or exceeds the benefits of antidepressants and many of the drugs for other conditions and diseases.

Maximizing your oxygen and lean muscle helps your body decrease fat and increase lean muscle tissue, building performance while boosting your body’s ability to fight stress and illnesses ranging from heart disease to cancer. A lack of exercise causes malfunctions that interfere.

  • The right kind of physical training lowers bad hormone levels, increases good ones, boosts immune functions, helps manage weight, and lowers body fat – all of which are known causes of breast and other cancers.
  • Our short but fast paced exercise plan gives you more energy and stamina, while also improving the body’s ability to respond to mental, physical, or chemical stress.
  • The 5 Essentials supercharge your ability to win in any arena, from a stress-filled home life to competing against the world’s most elite athletes.

Minimized Toxins™

The 5 Essentials support the body’s natural ability to permanently remove toxins from cells.

Toxins and chemicals surround us in our everyday lives, including items such as medications, refined foods, household cleaners, personal care products, and the items we cook with every day, just to name a few.  Each of these toxins affect our bodies in a different way.  Ultimately, they combine to inhibit us from functioning at optimal levels, threaten our daily health, and even reduce longevity.

Maximized Living knows that optimal health depends on resetting your body back to its natural balance – helping it detoxify itself is vitally important.

  • Detoxification is the body’s first and last line of defense in keeping free from a long list of toxic dangers that confront us.
  • All The 5 Essentials drive detoxification in two important ways, helping the body remove toxins already present while also creating new lifestyle habits that reduce exposure and risk going forward.
