What's stress got to do with your health? Only everything! But, is all stress bad? How about acute vs chronic stress? Is there a difference? Why can two people experience the same external stressor, but one develops high blood pressure while the other seems to handle it without missing a beat? 

We're delving into stress, our body's response to stress, and outcomes from the stress-filled world we current exist in.

It's that time of year again - MARCH MADNESS! But don't worry, the BrainStim gang isn't sidebarring this episode to talk sports, they're talking health madness - and it's a spicy one! You don't want to miss their assessment on what we've been through in the last 5 years and the textbook definition of madness.

Are you ready for it? As they say, if you stay ready, you never have to "get" ready! And for this application, being ready means the difference between experiencing "Pollen Season" and the dreaded "Allergy Season". We're all going to experience Pollen Season, but not all of us will have to experience Allergy Season. Dr. Aplin and the BrainStim gang are asking their favorite question again, WHY? Why is it that some of us don't even register the change in seasons except an increasing in car washing, while others end up sick, miserable, and missing out on life? That's the deep dive in today's episode!

If you'd like to discuss this or any other health topic, you can schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone call with Dr. Aplin, by visiting: www.invisionchiropractic.com/schedule

There's a fact that has become increasingly well known and researched in scientific circles: children are developing myopia - or nearsightedness - at an astounding rate. It is believed that the high utilization of electronic devices for education and entertainment in today's youth has greatly escalated the occurrence of nearsightedness. So what can we do about that? Give our culture's utter dependence, it's not very realistic to remove or even limit the electronic devices enough to make a difference. Even if you were able to remove them from the home, schools utilize electronic devices for the majority of their learning practices - so how do we effectively combat this trend? 

The BrainStim gang is discussing this important issue facing our children today in depth for episode #303: Myopia in Children.
