Brain First Always is my 3 doorway protocol for training and maintaining the brain's ability to keep you alive, active, and ambitious. I want my peeps to live with meaningful purpose and possess the vibrant energy required to make a positive impact on their communities.
The first thing we have to consider is the React/Reset Mechanism working in the nervous system as it partners with innate intelligence. We want the body to react to stress and danger appropriately while it resets back to balance in an efficient manner. If this malfunctions and your tissue reserve runs out.....well, it's lights out. We can work on preserving this React/Reset Mechanism so we can live a long, healthy life.
Human nature leads us to do silly things and hang on to dysfunctional beliefs so we need to practice intentional brain training, but tend to let this proactive behavior go by the wayside until we develop attention grabbing uncomfortable symptoms. Hopefully we are responding while things are easy to fix and capable of healing.
My 3 Doorway protocol has a number of steps inside each doorway. Grab your copy of the BFA template and map to get started.
For a deeper peek at the protocol, check out Brain Snob Episide 13.

Brain Snob Episode 12: You're Losing Power But Not Realizing It I had no power in the office this morning. I had a little bit of reserve left in batteries for my internet hot spot and lap top. Soon, they would be useless to me. How do you protect your body's tissue reserve and resilience before the power is out for good? The BFA Protocol helps us focus on keeping the brain in charge of the body. We could look at each body symptom separately and take ourselves on a wild goose chase when the better approach is to maintain brain health. Do you recognize the early stages of brain impairment and know how to make positive changes? Get a copy of the BFA Template/Map and start your journey.
Brain Snob Episode 11: Ask the Right Questions, Please What do I do for _______? This is a question that doesn't get you to a full solution. There is no one-step answer. I'd love every issue to be simple to solve, but we are complicated beings. If you recall one of those words I dislike is "cure." There is no cure. One size does not fit all and that's why we can't come up with a single cure for any health problem. Each human is different in his or her tissue reserve and resilience. If you are highly inflamed you will have less success with the healing process. Your level of stress impacts how well you heal. That's why we have to back track in our thinking to lay out on the table all the reasons that our nervous system can't keep up. This makes us rethink our life style to we can make changes that help the healing process. We are better off when we focus on the interference that slows us down and blocks the normal, stabilizing function. Usually this interference is an on-going issue, hence, it is life style related.
No need to dwell on lower body diagnoses....Really, start at the top. The Master System.
The Brain. By the way, the spinal cord is composed of brain cells. Yep, it is brain.
This is the best 5 minute lecture you've ever watched.
Why do you get adjusted? The answers vary from person to person. Why do I love adjusting people's spines? Because it is the most profound way to open the floodgates (spinal joints) to deliver healing energy (from innate). And because YOU are more than a sore joint or pulled muscle....you are an intelligent being who can make a great difference in the world. Since spinal motion energizes the brain, similar to a windmill generating electricity, the brain gives back in so many wonderful ways that allow you to be the mover and changer the world needs!
Benefits of the Adjustment: Studied and Measured
The Adjustment Influences the Prefrontal Cortex of the Brain
*Improvements and/or Reversal of neurodegenerative brain physiology (HUGE!)
*Epigenetic Changes – this changes fertility and short & long term offspring physiology
*Increase ATP – which is a “game-changer” for many reasons
*Telomere shortening – one of GREATEST “anti-aging” strategies in health today!
*Heart Disease – #1 contributor to heart disease in men and women is increased sustained sympathetic tone
*Immune System – Radically affects the immune system. Better than any marketable strategy medicine has to offer
Brain Changes
*One study noted the changes made in brain patterns and activity was more in one session than multiple weeks of standard psychological treatment made to brain!(You should know that brain-based neurophysiologists get their mind blown when they get to see the power of an adjustment on the brain!)
*Chiropractic was also shown to improve muscle strength, stability, and fatigue more in one session than 3 weeks of weight training! (Mind-Blowing!!)
Let me throw a few musculoskeletal benefits in here:
*Increases mobility and reduces Spinal Degeneration – degeneration shown to set in within 10-14 days with reduced mobility.
*5x better at musculoskeletal pain reduction than celebrex and vioxx combined (sad part here is that celebrex and vioxx together gross more $ per year ALONE than the entire chiropractic profession….the world desperately needs what we do!)

What else happens when you release subluxations with adjustments:
Check out all the Brain Snob episodes on YouTube We need a healthy brain in order to make good choices. Try to make a life decision while you are under stress, feeling fearful, etc. It doesn't work out so well. Mental stress turns to physical stress in the body. We make trade-offs hoping for the best. This is the challenge of life. How long can we beat up our tissue reserves before the body cries, "Uncle?" In this video I mention how I was offered the free drugs we kept locked up in the nurse's cabinet. I was dealing with a situational depression so it was considered a thoughtful gesture to offer it to help me feel better. My response: No thank you. I need to feel this. I need to learn from this. I need to have a clear head to work it out. Thinking back I probably wasn't clear headed as I made numerous unwise decisions that lead up to a personal crisis without the use of any medications prior. (Such irony, right?) Why would I add a medicinal component to my body's chemistry when I was already feeling normal nervous system processes, albeit uncomfortable but normal? I hope you enjoy my story and it inspires you to follow the Brain First Always Protocol.
Here are three videos I made talking about my personal story. I experienced a number of small breakthroughs, that helped my improve my health before they became health breakdowns.
I talk about my reaction to my first adjustment. I also talk about my desire to deliver better mental health care services with chiropractic, the early chiropractic mental hospitals, the current addictions centers that utilize chiropractic, and how the Winsor Autopsies influenced my decision to pursue chiropractic. Check out the videos below:
I made Episode 4 of Brain Snob at the end of an Adjusting Day. It is a busier scheduled day when I only have time to deliver the life boosting adjustment. I don't have time to delve into the educational aspect of helping people understand the different types of interference that drain the nervous system. And that is why we have these videos. In this video I talk about how to nurture your brain. That means we look at 1- how well your nerves are delivering brain energy to the organs, 2- what kind of fuel you are using to power your cells, and 3- what information you are putting your brain. Life is busy and we are easily distracted. I know when people have to deal with unpleasant symptoms, they are distracted from what they need to get done. However, I prefer to look at these symptoms as warning signs that other parts of your life style are out of balance. The bigger picture.... Perhaps your schedule is so overwhelming, your brain is being burned out in Limbic System Dominance (Fight or Flight/Survival Mode). Or you're health problems are being caused by a toxic overload setting you up for an auto-immune disorder. If I help you get you temporarily out of back pain. Have I really helped you nurture your life so you can reach higher goals??? Watch this video and see how you can boost your thinking.
1- Recurring Interference: What's kicking your body out of balance? They aren't symptoms. They are life style habits that put our health at risk. 2- Watch an earlier video about the Keto Krunch Club, renamed Keto Komplete in 2019.
