Nutrition can be powerful and life changing. At 13 years old Ola Van Zyl put herself on a diet. Ola compared herself to photos in magazines and wanted to be skinny like the women she saw. This pressure to look a certain way led to control over her eating and soon she went from being a vegetarian to reducing her food groups and the amount of food she ate until she found herself weighing 81.5 pounds (37 kilograms) as a 5’4″ (1.65 meters) young woman in her 20’s.

Ola suffered from anorexia for 15 years until she overcame the disease but she still left with symptoms. Physically she was better but mentally she still suffered. She was eating food but wasn’t eating the right foods. This resulted in Ola feeling depressed, anxious, and moody, and feeling thus, she isolated herself from friends and family. One day she realized: Everyone else was happy and she wanted to be happy too. This epiphany inspired her to study nutrition and make some life changing habits that would ultimately transform her into a totally different person. Now she eats clean, exercises, and weighs a healthy and beautiful 125 pounds (57 kilograms).

Ola offers consultations through her website: www.positivevitalitynutrition.com. You can also reach her via Facebook @Low Carb Keto or email ola@positivevitality.ie

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” – Thomas Edison

In this episode we dispel the common misperception of chiropractors and learn how everyone can benefit from chiropractic care. So often we tend to only seek medical intervention when we have a symptom. However, Dr. Russ aims to teach just the opposite. He believes if we maintain a balanced nervous system, along with proper diet and exercise, we can prevent the onset of common health problems. Learn what inspired Dr. Russ to become a chiropractor, what chiropractors can do that other doctors can’t, what exactly is a chiropractic adjustment, and the types of health problems that can be helped by chiropractic treatment.

Dr. David Russ holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College and embraces the holistic philosophy towards healing his patients. Dr. Russ enjoys educating others on the importance of a wellness lifestyle, which includes: a balanced nervous system, proper diet and exercise, regular stress relief, and a healthy mental attitude. He is committed to the health and wellness of each patient and and it’s no wonder his practice is successful; he practices the healthy lifestyle that he teaches to his patients.
