Dr. McKillican understands how busy and stressful life can be. While we can’t overemphasize the importance of regular exercise and proper nutrition, we also recognize that making big changes can feel overwhelming. That’s why, in addition to helping patients improve posture and perform corrective exercises for healing, we focus on key aspects of overall wellness: diet, exercise, sleep, and cultivating a positive mindset.
In today’s world, many of us lead more sedentary lifestyles. Job stress and modern habits can negatively affect both our physical and mental health. We’re seeing the effects firsthand—more young people are overweight or obese, and the number of people with diabetes and heart disease has steadily increased. As a society, we’re consuming more medications than ever, and in some ways, we are less fit than past generations.
Finding Better Paths to Fitness and Health
But there’s good news—it doesn’t have to stay this way. Dr. McKillican recommends committing to just 20-30 minutes of exercise, three to four times a week. No gym membership is needed; simple activities like a brisk walk, modern dance, or even a friendly game of pickup basketball or touch football are fantastic options. Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) with family or practicing yoga for both stretching and mindfulness are also great ways to get moving and relieve stress.
When it comes to nutrition, keep meals simple, focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, fiber, whole grains, nuts, and legumes. Try to cut back on coffee and sweets, limit alcohol and soda, and if you smoke, it’s time to quit. Preparing homemade lunches for work or school and avoiding drive-throughs can save you money while benefiting your health. Cooking at home is a great way to regain control of what’s going into your body.
Let Your Chiropractor Guide You
Dr. McKillican encourages you to explore local farmers’ markets or even start a “kitchen garden” to enjoy the incredible flavor of just-picked fruits and vegetables. If your weekday schedule is tight, spend a few hours over the weekend preparing meals to freeze, so you always have something healthy on hand.
