The Proof is in the Pooping

Dear Friends,

The proof is in the POOPING!

Yuck! Doc, you are losing it right?? No, no, no; just keep reading. If you haven’t noticed we do a lot more than just adjust the spine. Many people use us to help guide them through many health issues using natural means such as diet, exercise, and supplementation.

We believe you can CREATE HEALTH instead of MANAGING DISEASE.

What has become abundantly clear is that you cannot create health if you have a bad digestive tract. The gut is the gate keeper of health. The microbiome is directly linked to brain function via the vagus nerve and it can effect mood, inflammation, immunity, obesity, and so much more.

The microbiome has thousands of different bacteria, fungi, yeasts, virus, etc. that are normal components in the digestive tract. When the diversity and ratios are good, abundant health and well being are realized. When ratios are bad, bad diseases can happen (ie. the chronic inflammatory diseases that are the leading causes of death in our country today far surpassing covid!!)

Standard Process is now providing a test kit to test your microbiome. The test is done at your home and then sent into the lab and we can then discuss your results. The report will give you an analysis of your gut microbiome health and diversity.

It will provide three action points specific to your test and questionnaire:

  1. Dietary recommendations 
  2. Lifestyle recommendations
  3. Supplemental recommendations

Look, your gut is giving trillions of organisms a place to live and you want to make sure you are keeping good company.  So if you give a SH!! about your health, you may want to literally give SH!! and take this test to get an accurate reading of who is hitching a ride in you.

We have tests available and the results are coming back in about 6-7 weeks as demand has been incredibly high.

As always we look forward to serving you!

God Bless,

Dr. Dan

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
