  1. Allopathy vs. Vitalism

    Allopathy vs. Vitalism

    Allopathy vs. Vitalism To close out Season 2 of The MaxLiving Podcast, hosts Dr. Ryan & Ashley Berlin discuss the importance of understanding the principles of health, specifically allopathy vs. vitalism. Allopathy is composed of mostly western medicine and believes in more of an outside-in approach to health. For example, in order to get healthy, you have to treat a certain condition. Vitalism on the other hand is a more natural approach where health is something that you already have inside of you. The purpose in sharing the difference between these two health principles is so you have the information you need to make informed healthy decisions for you and your family. Throughout the episode, the Berlin’s explained the 4 tenants of allopathy and how they differ from vitalism. They also explain the importance of getting to the root cause of your health problems with the help of the 5 Essentials: core chiropractic, mindset, nutrition, oxygen & exercise, and minimizing toxins.

  2. Healthy Alternatives to Toxic Household Products

    Healthy Alternatives to Toxic Household Products

    Healthy Alternatives to Toxic Household Products Today’s episode is a continuation of last week’s on toxicity in our daily lives. With spring cleaning upon us, it’s important to note that cleaning up our homes can also mean cleaning up our health, and we’re here to give you some tips on how to do just that. Learn what household products could be causing harm to your body & what healthy alternatives we suggest in order to avoid the damage of toxins. First up let’s talk about water. Tap water has been found to contain a plethora of toxic chemicals including arsenic, and lead just to name a few. Not only can this be harmful when you’re drinking water, but also when you’re taking a shower, brushing your teeth, etc. The easiest thing you can do to avoid toxic tap water is to get some sort of filtration system whether it’s individually on your shower head, sink, or through your entire house with a whole-house filtration system. Another toxic household item you may want to consider switching is your cleaning products. Ashley Berlin explains that what you’re spraying on your kitchen counters matter because if your kids drop food on the table and eat it, they may be consuming remnants of the toxic cleaner that was previously used there. There are plenty of clean brands nowadays that make non-toxic cleaners such as Branch Basics, but if you’re looking for a cheaper option check out our article to see how you can make your own at home! Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Ryan & Ashley’s recommendations for non-toxic cookware, makeup, and more! And be sure to reach out to your local MaxLiving office for details on how you can attend their Terminate Toxins event in just a few weeks. *Please note: the information shared on this podcast are the opinions/views of the hosts.

  3. 3 Hidden Toxins in Your Everyday Life

    03/21/2023

    3 Hidden Toxins in Your Everyday Life

    3 Hidden Toxins in Your Everyday Life Due to the recent toxic spill in Ohio, it’s raised concerns for a lot of people about the presence of dangerous chemicals in our environment. Toxins can be found in our food, water, and even the air we breathe causing damage to our health. MaxLiving and the 5 Essentials prioritize minimizing the amount of toxins present, whether through detoxification or by adopting new lifestyle habits to mitigate chemical exposure. In this episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Ryan & Ashley Berlin discuss the issue of toxicity and how to avoid it. In order to live a healthy, toxin-free life, you have to become aware of what toxins you’re encountering on an everyday basis. The Berlin’s explain the three main culprits of toxicity including pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and chemicals that enter through the skin such as makeup, sunscreen, personal care products, etc. While reducing exposure to these items is a great start, there are other detoxification strategies you can take to further help your body heal and function optimally. One way is to get regular chiropractic adjustments to remove interference in the spine and nervous system. Additionally, you could take supplementation such as MaxLiving Detox System or Max Cleanse to flush out toxins. During the month of April, our MaxLiving offices across the country will be hosting their own Terminate Toxins event where you can learn more about how you can steer clear of toxins on a daily basis. Reach out to your local MaxLiving location for details and ticket information. *Please note: the information shared on this podcast are the opinions/views of the hosts.

  5. Why Physical Strength Adds Value to Your Life

    03/07/2023

    Why Physical Strength Adds Value to Your Life

    Why Physical Strength Adds Value to Your Life In order to thrive and survive in everyday life, you have to have some sort of physical strength. Whether it’s being able to bend down to tie your shoe, lift a toddler off the ground, push open a heavy door, etc. - strength is a necessity. With sedentary lifestyles on the rise, it’s important to understand the benefits of moving the body in order to build the strength your body requires everyday of The MaxLiving Podcast. A lot of people have the idea that when you workout you have to focus on one area of your body at a time such as Monday being arm day, Tuesday being leg day, etc. While that may seem like a good idea, you don’t always just use one area of your body to complete a task. If you’re picking up something that fell on the ground, you have to use your legs, your arms, your core, & possibly even more areas of the body to pick it up. According to the Berlin’s, there are a few major movements you can do to increase strength: Squat Deadlift Bench press Standing press The key is learning how to do these movements correctly so that you can perform strength tasks such as bending down, picking up, pushing out, and lifting above your head easier. Another effective way to get your heart rate up while also building strength is through our 12 minute HIIT workout program, MaxT3. With over 24 workouts and 80+ exercises to choose from, this at-home exercise tool is perfect for anyone who’s looking to move their body, but doesn’t have hours to do so.

  6. How to Get the Most Out of Chiropractic Care

    02/28/2023

    How to Get the Most Out of Chiropractic Care

    How to Get the Most Out of Chiropractic Care While you may think all chiropractors do the same thing, or offer the same quality care, that isn’t the case. MaxLiving Chiropractic doctors spend countless hours training on processes and procedures that help their patients heal and function optimally. When it comes to the outcomes of a patient’s care though, MaxLiving chiropractor Dr. Ryan Berlin and his wife Ashley say that there are 3 key components that influence how effective a patient's chiropractic care will be. Tune in to today’s new episode of The MaxLiving Podcast to learn how to get the most out of your chiropractic care. No matter if you’re a new corrective chiropractic care patient, or a long time maintenance chiropractic patient at your re-evaluation, these questions will still influence your results. How frequently are you supposed to be getting adjusted? How often are you actually getting adjusted? The answers to these two questions can tell our doctors a lot about how committed the patient is to getting their results. For example, if the doctor recommends you come in three times a week for corrective care and you’re only coming in once a week, that’s a problem. Are you doing your prescribed homecare exercises? Dr. Ryan says that “50% of the results that happen in our office come from people that are doing the work at home.” That means if a patient is coming in for their adjustments but not doing their homecare, they’ll most likely only see a portion of their desired results compared to optimal results if they were doing their homecare exercises. What unhealthy lifestyle habits are you working to change in order to keep your spine and nervous system functioning properly? If you’re sitting bent over at a desk for 40+ hours a week, sleeping on your stomach, etc. it could be damaging to your spine & nervous system. Put the time in to make lifestyle changes so that all the work you’re doing at the chiropractic office to remove interference doesn’t go to waste. We hope today’s episode gave you some insight on how these questions and answers could influence the outcome of how well your body heals with chiropractic care.

  7. Tips to Avoid the Dangers of Sitting

    02/21/2023

    Tips to Avoid the Dangers of Sitting

    Tips to Avoid the Dangers of Sitting What if we told you that something you do everyday could be a contributing factor to poor health? According to the Mayo Clinic, sitting for long periods of time whether you’re at work, school, in the car, or lounging on the couch has been compared to doing as much damage as smoking would. While it may seem impossible to not sit in these situations, there are some things you can do to offset the amount of sitting that you’re doing in order to avoid possible health risks. Tune in to today’s episode of The MaxLiving Podcast to learn tips to avoid the dangers of sitting. Contrary to popular belief, sitting is actually more harmful on your spine than standing. For example, when you’re standing, your spine is being supported by your legs, but when you’re sitting, all that pressure is being put on your lower back. The position you sit in as well could cause even more pressure such as if you cross your legs or have a wallet in your back pocket. A few tangible strategies Dr. Ryan & Ashley Berlin suggest to avoid the dangers of sitting include: Using a standing desk Getting up every hour and moving your body - even if it’s just walking around the house Adding a pedal exerciser, elliptical exerciser, or treadmill under your desk Using a wobble cushion to warm up your spine and relieve lower back pain Using a traction unit to help fix any forward head posture while looking at a screen for long periods of time & more Share this episode with someone who sits for long periods of time. It could possibly save them from developing health issues as a result of their prolonged sitting in the future! *Please note: the information shared on this podcast are the opinions/views of the hosts.
