On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) discuss how you can get started on a holistic path to healing.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 23:2 Holistic Healing

People are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

They’re also sick and tired of being given drugs for their health problems.

Drugs that merely put a “band-aid” on their problems.

Drugs that do nothing to address the cause.

For this reason, more and more Americans are turning to a “holistic” approach to health… an approach that looks to correct the CAUSE of their health problems.

An approach that uses natural “tools” to help their body heal naturally, without the use of drugs or surgery.

On this episode we identify some of these natural “tools.”

We also discuss the importance of assessing your current level of health as it provides a “starting point” for your healing journey.

Give this episode a good listen as it will teach you about an effective, safe, and natural approach to health and healing.

In addition, please share it with your family and friends.

Thanks!

On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) discuss the basics behind the “Get Healthy Approach” to healing.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 23:1 The Basics Behind The “Get Healthy Approach” To Healing

Unlike traditional medicine, the “Get Healthy Approach” to health care is NOT built upon the use of drugs and surgery.

Why?

Because in many instances the traditional approach has failed miserably.

So much so that more people are unhealthy in this country than ever before.

More people addicted to prescriptive drugs.

More people dying FROM medical care.

To make matters worse, it’s not getting any better.

We, as a nation, are on the verge of a true health care crisis… yet those in position of political and medical authority don’t seem to care.

Instead, their interest seems to lie with increasing the profits of the pharmaceutical industry… NOT on helping the people of this nation get healthier.

This is wrong and needs to be addressed.

Better health care options need to be made available.

Options that don’t rely on the use of drugs and surgery.

Options such as the “Get Healthy Approach.”

On this episode we discuss what the “Get Healthy Approach” to health care is and how you can begin to incorporate it into your life.

How it is a drug-less approach built upon the premise that, given the right environment, the human body can heal itself.

We also discuss natural “tools” you can use to help create the right environment for your body.

Give this episode a good listen as it will help get you on your way towards living a more natural, healthier life.

And, when you’re done listening, please share it with a friend.

Thanks!

On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) build upon the health advice we shared in last week’s episode… health advice we believe Jesus would give us.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 22:52 MORE Health Advice From Jesus

Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus sat down with us for an interview about health?

An interview in which He gave us advice on how to live healthy and happy lives?

Of course it would!

Unfortunately, we couldn’t get Him booked as Christmas is a really busy time of the year for Him 😂

So we did the next best thing:

We came up with seven pieces of advice that we felt He would want to share with us.

Interestingly, this advice is NOT focused on things we should DO to improve their health but on how we should THINK.

Specifically, the advice Jesus would share focuses on PRINCIPLES people should understand and ATTITUDES they should adopt.

On last week’s episode we shared the first four pieces of Jesus’ advice:

1) It IS God’s will for you to be healed

2) It’s OKAY if you aren’t

3) Your sickness may, or may not, be your fault

4) Don’t focus on your sickness, focus on solutions

On this episode we share Jesus’ final three pieces of advice… advice we believe will help you optimize your health AND heal you when you are sick.

Give this episode a good listen and then please share it with a friend.

Thanks!

On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) share health advice that Jesus would want us to know.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 22:51 Health Advice From Jesus

Merry Christmas!

On this holiday episode we ask, and answer, the following question:

If Jesus sat down to record a podcast episode with us, what health advice would He give?

That’s a good question!

It’s also a question that many people think Jesus would answer with “action steps”… things we should DO to become healthier.

We don’t agree.

We don’t believe Jesus would tell us to DO things - such as exercise and eat right - to improve our health.

Not because they aren’t important… they are!

Instead, we believe Jesus would tell us something more important.

Something that involves UNDERSTANDING Biblical teachings regarding health and healing.

Specifically, we believe Jesus would give us HEALTH PRINCIPLES that He wanted us to understand and follow.

Seven principles that He would want us to learn so we could live happier, healthier lives.

On this episode we dive into the first four of these principles.

Four principles that, once understood, may literally change your life.

Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

On this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) talk about the secrets we've obtained from healthy, active and independent individuals - in their eighties - for living a long and healthy life.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 22:50 Secrets For Living A Long And Healthy Life

I love the picture above.

It’s of me (Dr. George Burroughs) and some of my patients in my office in Saraland, Alabama.

Patients who, despite being in their eighties, drive over an hour to be treated by me in my Chiropractic office.

The couple on my right is the Pippins (and their daughter). They drive from Florida.

Their ages are 87 and 83.

The couple on my left is the Sells’ and they drive from Mississippi.

They are both 85 years old.

What I love most about working with these couples is that, despite being in their eighties, they are extremely healthy, independent, and happy.

Just as people SHOULD be in their eighties.

Unfortunately, many people their age have given up their independence, and their driver’s license - long ago… mainly due to health issues.

Not these folks.

Nor the many other “over eighty” patients I have coming to see me in my office.

Individuals who still drive themselves to their appointments.

Individuals who still are “living life.”

Want to know their secret for living a healthy, independent, and happy life well into their eighties?

I'll tell you... on this episode.

Give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

On this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) talk about a simple strategy anyone can use to improve their mindset… and their life.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 22:49 How To Improve Your Mindset

For years now health experts have been saying that, in order to live a healthy life, you must incorporate healthy behaviors.

Behaviors such as exercising, eating right and getting enough sleep.

Guess what?

These health experts are right… those types of behaviors DO improve your chances of living a healthy life.

Unfortunately, there’s a problem with this advice.

You see, most people struggle to incorporate those healthy behaviors into their life.

Why?

Not because of a lack of time (the number one excuse given by most people).

Nor because of a lack of money or resources.

Instead, the reason why most people struggle to live a healthy lifestyle is because they don’t have a healthy mindset.

That is, most people don’t “see” themselves as healthy.

They don’t realize how beautiful, talented and valuable they are.

As a result, they don’t feel the need to take good care of themselves.

Interestingly, if a person could just switch their mindset… if they could TRULY see how amazing they are… they would take much better care of themselves.

It’s like a person with a beautiful car.

They would NEVER allow soda, or any other junk, to be put into their car as fuel.

Why?

Because they VALUE their vehicle and know that pouring “junk” into would cause it to not run right.

It would ruin it.

Well, our bodies are the same way.

If you allow “junk” into your body through what you eat… or what you watch… or what you listen to…

It won’t run right.

And, in time, it will be ruined.

Yet most people continue to engage in such unhealthy behaviors.

Why?

Because they don’t VALUE themselves the way they do a nice car.

It’s sad… and it’s time to change.

Time for each of us to improve our mindsets.

Time to realize how awesome and amazing we are.

And on this episode we teach you how.

Specifically, we share with you one simple, yet powerful, way to improve your mindset.

An effective routine that ANYONE can incorporate into their life.

Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) talk about the ONE thing you MUST change if you want to improve your health… and it’s NOT your diet.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 22:48 DON’T Change Your Diet… Do This Instead

There are two things we want you to learn from this episode.

The first is this:

Your behaviors determine your health.

- Smoke too many cigarettes and you’ll get lung cancer.

- Drink too much alcohol and you’ll get cirrhosis of the liver.

- Eat too much sugar and you’ll develop Diabetes.

You get the idea.

Now, let’s look at the second lesson:

It actually begins with a question:

If your behaviors determine your health, what determines your behaviors?

Great question… and an important one as well!

Important because it is your MINDSET - what you BELIEVE - regarding exercising, eating right, getting enough sleep, spending time in the sun, etc… that will determine your behaviors.

And therein lies the second lesson:

Your MINDSET determines your behaviors.

Connect these two lessons together and you’ll have a tremendous understanding of health:

1) Your behaviors determine your health.

2) Your MINDSET determines your behaviors.

So, why is this important?

Because when seeking to improve one’s health, most people focus solely on the first lesson… on changing their behaviors.

For example, they begin to do things like exercise more and/or eat better.

And while these changes are good, they most likely will not be sustained, nor have a lasting impact, if the MINDSET of the person hasn’t also changed.

That is, if in your mind you SEE yourself as unhealthy, all the healthy behaviors in the world won’t, in the long run, improve your health.

Sure, you may look and feel healthier for awhile, but in the long run you’ll sabotage your efforts and revert back to behaviors that are consistent with your MINDSET.

For this reason, it is vitally important to identify and correct weaknesses in your MINDSET if you want to have any hope of adopting, and sustaining, healthy behaviors.

THAT is what this episode is about…

The importance of working on the one aspect of your health that most people, and doctors, ignore:

Your MINDSET.

Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Thanks!

On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we talk about Thanksgiving and the miraculous health benefits of gratitude.

(May take a few seconds to begin playing)

Episode 22:47 The Miraculous Health Benefits Of Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s awesome that we have a holiday dedicated to gratitude… to the simple act of “Giving Thanks.”

In addition, it’s awesome how many health benefits are connected to “Giving Thanks.”

For example, did you know that people who practice “Giving Thanks” have healthier Immune Systems than those who don’t?

Or that they handle stress better?

And sleep better?

Those three benefits alone have a HUGE impact on one’s health… and they all can be improved simply by making “Giving Thanks” a habit.

But that’s not all.

People who practice “Giving Thanks” display higher levels of happiness, joy, enthusiasm, optimism and love.

Again, that’s not all.

People with an “attitude of gratitude” also experience less bitterness, resentment, greed, envy, fear, anxiety, worry and anger.

Wow!!!

Now, if you could take ALL of these benefits and wrap them into either a pharmaceutical drug or a nutritional supplement… you’d be a billionaire!

But you can’t and that’s okay because you don’t need another pill in your life.

Instead, all you need to do is get better at “Giving Thanks.”

And, in this episode, we share with you simple ways to do that.

Specifically, we share three "tips" that anyone can implement into their life today so that they can begin to experience the miraculous benefits immediately.

So, give this episode a good listen. Then be sure to share it with a friend.

One last thing:

Thank YOU for supporting this podcast. We really are incredibly grateful for your support!
