The Placebo Effect and Witch Doctors On this episode of the HealthLogic Podcast, Rockwall Chiropractor, Dr. Jason Ulsrud, and Blake Hammerton dig into the Placebo Effect and the misconceptions often associated with it. Dr. Jason shares a story of his grandmother and an experience she had with a Witch Doctor and treating warts, and how that applies to the Placebo Effect. Where does Healing come from? The Mind? Prescription Medications? Listen into this episode of the podcast to hear what Dr. Jason and Blake have to say about the Placebo Effect. The Power of Your Brain The human brain controls every single cell, organ, and tissue in the body and is responsible for Health of your body, or the adaptation your body will got through in response to stress. It’s called the Brain-Body Connection. In other words, your Mind, through the brain, can be used to dictate the Health and Response of your cells, organs, and tissues to your environment. Where the Medical Matrix aims to artificially alter the chemistry of your brain and body through medications, as one who respects the ability of the body, Chiropractors aim to nurture normal Healthy function so your body can heal from within. The Mind is why we say Healing comes from within. The Outside-In Paradigm of Managing The Medical Matrix would have you believe your body can be healed from theirs chemical drugs, or simply by cutting out organs and tissue. As we mentioned in the previous episode of “Breast Cancer and Mutilation”, you can never expect the result of Health by cutting out stuff. The Medical Matrix paradigm is an Outside-In approach. Think about it… [mini-icon icon="cog"] If you have high blood pressure, the Medical Matrix will prescribe a blood pressure lowering drug. [mini-icon icon="cog"] If you have high cholesterol, the Medical Matrix will prescribe a cholesterol lowering drug. [mini-icon icon="cog"] If you have high blood sugar, the Medical Matrix will prescribe a blood sugar lowering drug. [mini-icon icon="cog"] If you have cancer, the Medical Matrix will prescribe chemotherapy to poison the cancer cells. [mini-icon icon="cog"] If you have the BRCA gene, the Medical Matrix will prescribe cutting out healthy tissue to maybe “prevent” cancer. The Medical Matrix approach to Health is at best flawed, and at worst barbaric, and it simply DOES NOT work. The Inside-Out Paradigm of Healing On the flip side of the coin, Holistic providers like Chiropractors, understand the po

Preventing the Unpreventable Disease Following the last episode of the HealthLogic Podcast called “How Tacos Cause Breast Cancer”, I received a lot of feedback from listeners about, believe it or not, tacos causing Breast Cancer. Many times you will hear myself or Blake refer to the “cause” of illness and disease as Lifestyle, and the Lifestyle you choose will ultimately dictate the life you want to live. Yes, you get to choose to have Disease or not have Disease. I know this is a BOLD statement, but after today’s HealthLogic Podcast called “Preventing the Unpreventable Disease”, I think you’ll have a clear understanding of what I’m talking about. So, let’s get started on the Podcast that brings some Logic to the crazy topic of Health. The Lifestyle You Choose Blake and I, admittedly, do use the term “Lifestyle” rather frequently and generally when talking about the “cause” of illness and disease. The reason isn’t because we don’t have a clear understanding of what the “cause” is, but rather because there are a bazzilian reasons what it could be. Depending on you and the Choices you make. On a daily basis you are confronted with dozens, if not hundreds, of Choices about your life. While many of those Choices may not have any immediate or lasting effects, several of the Choices you make daily come with long-term, deadly effects. Notice I said “long-term, deadly effects”? That’s because the Choice you make today to drink Diet Coke may not have any seemingly detrimental effect on your Health, over a long period of time, the Neurotoxins that accumulate from drinking Diet Coke on a daily basis may have severe effects on your Health. As well, the Toxic Vaccinations you give your child as a baby may not seemingly have detrimental effects on the Health of your baby today, many times it often does, but what are the consequences of Vaccinations on your baby’s life in the long-term? Or, you may not notice the micro damage to your liver every time you pop a Tylenol to treat your headache, but how many headaches will it take before you start experiencing liver failure from the Toxic build up of Tylenol in your body? Every Choice you make will either have a positive effect on your body, or it will have a negative effect on your body. Toxicity and Deficiency Now that you know, from episode 2 of the HealthLogic Podcast called “Defining Real Health and Disease”, Health is a state of homeostasis (balance) of every

Welcome to the HealthLogic Podcast On this episode of the HealthLogic Podcast, Dr. Jason Ulsrud shares a practice story, introduces himself to you, goes over what the HealthLogic Podcast is all about, and what you can expect from this weekly podcast. A Practice Story Shared I had a patient come in last week as a new patient. I’ll call her Stephanie, to protect her privacy, but Stephanie came in with her two kids clearly frazzled. After having her complete my new patient entrance forms, I sat down with her to see how I could best help her. I quickly realized she was suffering from daily headaches that were so severe she was taking 4 to 6 Tylenols per day. Now, I’m not sure you know this, but Tylenol IS the leading cause of Acute Liver Failure in the United States, and in some countries is the leading cause of Liver Transplants. Tylenol, and certainly chronic use of Tylenol, is NOT good. So, when I asked Stephanie how the headaches were affecting her life, she explained that she has become super irritable at home with her husband and kids, and she can no longer do her yoga class she loves because of the pain. Stephanie clearly needed help breaking her addiction to Tylenol and getting her life back. This happened a week ago, and I’m happy to report Stephanie came into the office yesterday, walked right over to the trash can, threw her bottle of Tylenol in, and turned to me to say, and I quote, “This is the first time in 6 months I haven’t had a headache, and I can’t tell you how great I feel.” Wow!!! That is Awesome, and that’s why I Love being a Chiropractor. The Logical Place to Start I am Jason Ulsrud, and it’s very nice to meet you. I’ve been practicing Chiropractic for nearly 15 years now, and I LOVE what I do. I am married to an awesome woman by the name of Taren who is a Dyslexia Therapist, and I’m a dad, or BaBa as they call me, to twin boys named Luka and Niko. When I’m not in the office or behind the mic, you can find me on my road bike getting in 40 or 50 miles. I also have another website and podcast I do for Chiropractors called the Rule Breakers Podcast for Chiropractors. Why the HealthLogic Podcast? Let me answer this question with a few statistics… According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Medical Matrix generates over 2.5 Trillion dollars annually. According to the Milliman Medical Index, the cost of healthcare for a family of 4 has topped $22,000 per year. According to the World He
