Life in Balance: Taking Health to the Next Level

Many people’s lives have been transformed over the years at Vibrant Life Health Center. We’ve had Chiropractic patients come to us with chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues that have been resolved. The transformations they’ve experienced have enabled them to return to doing things that they thought they might never be able to do again. 

We’ve had patients who had serious weight problems, problems with their metabolism, and things that just weren’t working properly in their bodies.  People want to know how they can get to the next level. At Vibrant Life, we’re going to help them to do exactly that. We call it Life in Balance, and it’s a comprehensive approach to optimized health, fitness, and wellness.

Life in Balance will incorporate wellness Chiropractic. Lots of people associate chiropractic with getting well after an injury of some sort, and chiropractic is certainly great for that. The thing many people don’t realize is that Chiropractic is also good for staying well and for keeping the nervous system functioning optimally. As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, everything in the body is connected to the spine. Spine health is crucial for living a truly healthy life. 

The program will also encompass nutritional guidance so people won’t have to guess about what supplement to take and when or how to take it. With blood-based micro - macro nutrient testing, we’re going to show people what their bodies are truly deficient in and what is optimal. People are going to have an exact plan on what supplements they should be taking in order to address their specific deficiencies based on testing and then also re-testing post protocol to verify that the needs have been fully addressed. 

Another misunderstood and misused concept in health planning is detoxification steps. There are many methods related to detoxification but many are actually not effective, not safe, and confusing. The protocols in Life in Balance come from some of the longest used methods in history. Not only will you have the steps laid out for you, you will have a specific order by organ and when to cycle on and off the detoxification protocols. This will ensure that your body will get maximum benefit!

Foods are also pivotal to health and wellness. With Life in Balance a food plan is developed using biofeedback to ensure cellular coherence with the foods you consume. This plan is comprehensive and lists good foods, avoidance foods, and a buffer in between. Within this plan you're not guessing…you know that you know that your food plan matches your body's needs.

Fitness is another key component for Life in Balance. Someone might want to get to the point where he or she can walk a mile at a good pace without huffing and puffing. Someone else might want to gain muscle mass and get the six-pack abs they had in their 20s back. Either way, we’re going to help participants reach their fitness objectives.

Life in Balance is not a one-size-fits-all program. It’s comprehensive and tailored to the individual. A supplement that works well for one person might not work at all for someone else. There are reasons for that. Everybody is different and everybody has their own unique needs. We’ll be using the best technologies and time-tested methodologies to develop an individualized program for each participant.

This is an in depth approach to optimal health. We’re going to look at everything going on in a person’s body and we’re going to address every challenge that might keep a person from reaching his or her goals. We want to give our patients much more than one or two pieces to the health and fitness puzzle. We want to give them all the pieces and then help them fit those pieces together so they can experience true transformation and start living the lives they’ve always wanted to live. 



How my daughter, Avery, got her hair back: A personal Life in Balance testimony from Dr. Thomas

According to WebMD, alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, which is where hair growth begins. The damage to the follicle is usually not permanent. Experts do not know why the immune system attacks the follicles. Alopecia areata is most common in people younger than 20, but children and adults of any age may be affected. Women and men are affected equally.

My daughter, Avery, was diagnosed with alopecia at 5 years old. Tracy and I took Avery to several medical Doctors. They told us that she had an auto-immune disease, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Avery was told she would never have hair again. That news was devastating! Most people consider hair an important part of their personal appearance. It’s especially important to young women in our culture. 

A friend recommended that we take Avery to a Naturopathic doctor who thought outside the box.  He tested Avery’s blood, urine, and saliva. After evaluating the results, he determined that Avery’s body was not producing HCL and her stomach PH level was an 8 when it should have been a 2. Based on that information, which traditional medical doctors had not considered, we made some changes. Today Avery is thirteen years old and she has a beautiful head of hair. That creates a whole other problem for a father, but I think I’ll be able to cope.

Traditional medicine does not have the answers to every health challenge. Sometimes, people need do their own research and seek out a practitioner who thinks outside the traditional medicine box. With Life in Balance, when patients have a problem for which there doesn’t seem to be a solution, we’re going to consider all the options, including some that may be considered outside the box.

Vibrant Life Teams up with First Coast Living to Create Life in Balance

and First Coast News
Vibrant Life Health Center and First Coast News are collaborating on a new way to reach out to the community with information on how to achieve wellness and fitness. It’s called Life in Balance. Our bodies have been designed to be healthy. However, many of us do things throughout our lives which throw the body out of balance and away from health.
The strategies, programs, and pills that have been around for so many years, have just not provided people with the solutions they need for their health problems. Also, many people spend lots of time in the gym without seeing the results they want. They sometimes end up feeling that going to the gym is a waste of time and money.
If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, or know someone who is, Life in Balance can help. There is more information available now about health and wellness than there ever has been in the past. We can now get answers to questions like these:

  • How much water should a person consume per day?
  • Does that amount vary based on factors like the size and weight of a person, or the weather outside, or a person’s lifestyle?
  • What types of exercise should a person engage?
  • What are the variables that a person should consider to determine what exercise is best for him or her?
  • Should a person engage in different types of exercises on alternating days?
  • What is an effective routine for starting the day? Are eggs good for breakfast? What about shakes and smoothies?
  • How can I apply the information I have access to so that it will produce the results I’m looking for in terms of wellness, fitness, and weight?

Each person is unique and each person has different needs. For example, a person who dresses up in a mascot suit and then has to move around in the heat will need a very different hydration plan than someone working in an air conditioned office.
Vibrant Life Health Center and First Coast Living are introducing Life in Balance as a means of bringing information about all the key elements of wellness and fitness together. We will be broadcasting segments tailored to the needs of viewers and anyone in the community who wants to live a healthier and more fulfilling life. Life in Balance webpages are being hosted in the First Coast Living section of the First Coast News website. We’re also looking forward to interacting via social media outlets dedicated to Life in Balance.
At Vibrant Life Health Center, we know that little things lead to big results. For example, eating an ice cream Sunday after every meal for a year will produce a big result – an undesirable expanding waistline. That’s one thing most people would prefer not to have. On the other hand, a person who simply takes a brisk walk around the block after every meal instead of indulging in an ice cream Sunday will see positive results like weight reduction, improved cardiovascular health, and more.
Life in Balance is going to be one portal where people living on the First Coast will be able to access all of the information they need in order to make decisions that will have a positive impact on their health and wellness.

Beth lost 110 pounds in a year on NutriMost.
Beth’s story is an amazing example of a person bringing her life back into balance. NutriMost was a big part of that.
“I’ve been through the NutriMost program three times and I am down over 100 pounds since July of 2015. Dr. Thomas is phenomenal and I wouldn’t trade him for any other doctor. When he told me I had the body of a ninety-nine-year-old woman and I was only forty-six, I knew it was time to get serious about making changes. When I started the program, I was at 324 pounds and now I’m down to about 200. I’ve gone from a size 26 pants to a size twelve. I went from a 5X shirt to a large or extra-large shirt. I got my health and my life back. That wouldn’t have happened without NutriMost.

Pat lost 54 pounds on NutriMost.
Pat has also had astonishing results with NutriMost.
“The day I got on the scale and saw that I weighed 202 pounds, I knew I needed to make a change. I walked through my living room and saw Dr. Thomas talking about NutriMost on First Coast Living on TV. I had been to Weight Watchers and another program and neither of those had worked for me. I set up a consultation with Dr. Thomas and I felt really comfortable with him. The program made more sense to me than anything I had tried before. It involved eating properly and it had someone helping you along the way. Every morning I texted my weight to Dr. Thomas. That kept me focused on the program. I’m not used to reporting to anybody. I’m used to people reporting to me. I’ve lost 54 pounds and I feel great. Just after I signed up for NutriMost, my daughter told me she was pregnant with my first grandchild. It’s wonderful that instead of being out of breath and not being able to touch my toes, I can pick up my grandson. He is sixteen pounds now and I have no problem picking him up.
