ABOUT DR. PAT BOULOGNE
My first training is chiropractic, then I went to acupuncture school and I got certification and a bunch of stuff like, functional medicine, lifestyle medicine
I have been able to funnel all that information into one glob of information so that I have more tools to help people to go from point A to point C in the shortest period of time
I always say to people that when you have big stuff going one, you’ve got to stop, take a deep breathe and go back to basics
Going back to basics is to look at your foundation, especially your health and look at where the cracks at and fix those cracks
It is important to have a good immune system but health never ever goes out of fashion
When we lose it is when people start to pay attention to it
I wrote a book that became a bestseller called, Why…Are You Sick, Fat, and Tired?
In that book, it shows people where their weakest link is and it also shows the strongest so you will know when to funnel your time, money and energy
If you apply that in today’s time, it is really important to get that health’s Snapchat so that you will know where to stand
There are little health hacks that go along with each kind and each section of the body
The section of the body is called systems, and then the systems, I equate it to a Swiss watch and that’s where the components are working and that they all communicate with each other
Inflammation starts either from trauma, toxins and our thoughts
Thoughts are a big thing because they can’t undo
So, people who are panicking right now are making their body more stressful and more susceptible to something
They should just center themselves, meditate or whatever it is that they will do to functionally anchor themselves
There are 11 organ systems and the organ systems start with the gut and those have sub-categories of functions
Then the liver, endocrine system, heart, brain, musculoskeletal, endocrine
With all the stuff that is going on even right now, the liver has to process all the stuff and has to get rid of it
If it can’t get rid of it, it takes it and it stores it in the blood, brain, and bone
When the body gets overwhelmed, it stores it in those places so it doesn’t get in the intestinal tract
When someone wants to detox, you don’t want to purge
If your gut is not healthy then it recycles and it gets backs again
You’ve got to look at where’s the pattern and where do I start in order to take care of what you need to take care of
The concept of looking at health and looking at exercise, diet, proper sleep, good mental attitude, and a properly functioning nervous system is key components anywhere they lack and fix their problem then go on
Acupuncture is very beautiful
The Chinese had a whole era where they dealt with heat-related problems in fever and they also have an era where they dealt with cold
If your thinking that your foot relates to your headache, it is because there is a point in the liver and a lot of headaches relates from the liver
In Chinese medicine, there is a point to soothe the liver and it all relates to one another effects
TIPS
Having people really pay attention to what kinds of food they eat like having the right kind of foods and avoiding things like sugar
Charcoal gets the toxins out of your system
I take charcoal with supplements and taking it also before bed
Charcoal is a very cool health hack
My charcoal comes from pills and I buy it from Amazon
Your adult immune system is underneath the manubrium and the other part in Chinese medicine is the belly button
Simultaneously, I would do 30 taps to wake my body up
I used to get sick all the time like colds, and when I get sick, I buy filtered water and I’ll put enough lemon juice in it and I just flushed out of my system
Fresh air is really important
You can dry brush to increase your circulation
The other thing that I tell people is to get miso soup
If you’re kind to your intestinal track when something like that is going on, take a miso soup
People who followed the traditional Japanese diet has less effect on the fall out of radiation
Every time we vegetable made soup, we always blend it
We blend it because of it easier to digest
Being hydrated is so important and staying warm too
When I do acupuncture to anybody, I don’t do traditional
I always go through the emotion first and find what particular acupuncture point needs to be needed to address what’s going on
Emotional components got to go away
In Chinese medicine, when you’re starting to get sick, your mucus is clear and when it’s white or cloudy, it’s either inside or outside
If it’s clear, it’s more in the outside and if it’s darker, the more interior it is
As you body gets hotter, to cooks the phlegm and that is why it congests
A lot of sickness and chronic diseases take a length of time on different types of people – depending upon how your DNA responds to the environment
You don’t know if you’re sick and I think you should buy my book so that you can go back to it periodically and check it with yourself and see how you’re doing
There are different ways to approach chiropractic and me, I started from my feet and I work up
I want to get rid of what’s going on in my feet and go up
