Transformation, upgrades... and The "Body, Soul & Spirit" show


Hello Lifehouse Community,

Things here on the home front are in a rapid state of transformation.  We have hauled in over 2,000 pounds of quartz/mica rock, 8 yards of dirt and are busy working working like bees creating our next version of The Lifehouse.  I look forward to introducing you soon to our inspiring space, just remember not this week, as we are closed for renovations.

We will be reopening next Monday April 29th for a regular week of adjusting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the things that most pains me is when I hear people say,” I have this (condition) but they think it is because of my genes”.
People like this are being fed a lie and we need to remember that though genes play a role in health, they are certainly not the sole determiners.  The unfortunate piece is that people do feel they have no power in regards to their genes, so they end up feeling powerless, victim to their situation, and resume living a lifestyle that may or may not promote health.  Study after study shows that health is a result of both our genes and our lifestyle and that our lifestyle switches aspects of our genes on or off.
Genes are predetermined, and they provide a baseline or possibility.  Our lifestyle is what provides the variants and this is what we get to determine.  The MacArthur Foundation produced a study that showed only 30% of aging is due to our genes and 70% was due to our lifestyle.  Another similar Chinese study showed that a whopping 90% was due to our lifestyle.  Regardless, whether it be 70% or 90%, it is by far more significant than your genes! Lifestyle is the only thing that you can choose, so it makes sense to focus our attention on how we can influence our health positively regardless of which genes we have.
As you are seeing, the influence of our lifestyle choices is very large.  I would like to walk you through a simple exercise to build on this.
What age was your oldest grandparent who ever lived? 
Now take that number and minus it by your own age.  Take that number…..This is your minimum potential years remaining.  Meaning if genes were it, this would be the minimum years that you have left.  Now implementing the current research we also know that by adjusting your lifestyle you will add both quantity and quality to the number of years remaining.  How do you want to spend your years remaining?
A healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise, healthy nutrition and regular chiropractic care.  It is as easy as that.

Remove interference to your innate health potential: 
A properly functioning body can do everything naturally 
that pills attempt to do chemically.


Have a great weekend, enjoying the sun, moving your body and nurturing yourself with great food.

April Events at the Lifehouse

Hello and Happy Easter everyone
Hope to see you at the below April Events.



Wed. April 3rd - 7 -8:30 pm ~ Joy of the Journey discovery evening with Jodine
Everyone has a unique gift that they bring to the world. We are all important and the whole world would be a different place if any one of us were not here. Yet so often our fears, learned beliefs and the expectations of others interfere with our connection to our Soul's Purpose, the real reason why we are on this planet, at this place, at this time. And when we forget about our connection with our soul we often end up feeling scared, alone, restless, powerless, angry, sad or frustrated. Yet your life does not have to be how it has always been.

Jodine Buydens served an unlikely apprenticeship in discovering her Soul's Purpose through her relationship with horses. And now she's ready to share this gift with you! Join Jodine for this amazing evening and be prepared to be inspired by Jodine's journey from feeling lost and alone to finding Joy, Purpose and a deep sense of belonging in a world that often seems senseless.

By donation to Chiropractic for the World- suggested donation minimum $5
Please call (250) 740 0333 to register.
