Sitting is the new smoking. When we don’t move, the frontal lobe doesn’t function which means we can become sick not only physically, but also in our thought process as well.
On this episode, we are here with Dr. Michael Hall. He is one of my biggest mentors in chiropractic. He is a chiropractic neurologist, and is affiliated with Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, Texas.
He shares how chronic sitting can affect our health, how we communicate, how we perceive life, and how we succeed in life as well. He says that people who are more active tend to not only have better physical health, but also better mental health and a better shot at breaking the curse.
