My message is this...
“Healthy living is not a destination....It's a journey!”
Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Korman, my husband Brian and I, are totally committed to learning, living, and teaching people a lifestyle with the goal of stopping the cycle of chronic pain, fatigue, belly fat, and restoring health and passion for life! I would love to share with you, my “GEARED2bewell” lifestyle, I will help you with ways you can gain control over your health, and put yourself back in the “driver’s seat” of your future well-being!
Many times, we are told that poor health, be it systemic infections, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, being overweight, or even cancer, is the result of our genetics and is something we don’t have control over. But actually, we DO have control, over whether we develop these ailments or not. Even though we all have specific genetic tendencies, what we eat, what we drink and even what we think, affects the expression or suppression of our genetic makeup (i.e., epigenetics). The problem is we’ve been deceived, even lied to, about what makes us healthy and our ability to change it. It’s sad to say that large, profit-driven corporations, and powerful individuals, are more interested in their monetary bottom line, and power, than they are in us being healthy.
Think about all the commercials you see while watching TV. those drug companies, snack and beverage companies, spend tremendous amounts of money advertising through media. They profit generously by indoctrinating us to be snacking on their “fake” foods and drinks, or using their harmful medications, but do so without any concern over our best health interest.
So, what is health?
Is health merely the absence of disease? Is it achieved just because we're not on any medication? Does it exist only if, and when, our blood chemistry comes back “normal”? What does normal even mean, since they just keep changing the numbers, in order to push drugs and cover root causes of problems, with “Band Aids”
Health is not the “absence of disease” but rather a state of optimal function and vitality! We were created and designed to live a life full of health and purpose with complete physical, mental and spiritual well being — not just existing and getting by, but having the absolute healthiest version of ourselves. Our level of health is achieved by the consistent choices we make, or don’t make, on a daily basis. It’s like contributing to a savings account. It’s what we add to it on a daily and consistent basis that counts, long term. Consistent, healthy living is the best insurance to our future quality of life.
Traditional medical intervention such as emergency room care and prescription medications can certainly be lifesaving, when faced with acute illnesses, such as injury, infections, heart attacks, strokes, or other immediate life threatening conditions. These interventions, however, have very little success, or long term benefit for treating chronic illness and pain. Those are metabolically driven processes and need to be prevented or managed through diet and lifestyle choices. This is what my GEARED2bewell lifestyle is all about.
Prevention always trumps intervention!
I want to help you get your health and your life back!
The GEARED2bewell lifestyle is designed to help you make better decisions about what you eat; what you drink; how you think; and what you allow in your environment that will directly, and immediately, impact your health in a very positive way. I applaud you, if you have the willingness to make these vital changes in order to make your life, a better life!
Why I created this program...
I have spent over 30 years in practice consulting with patients regarding nutrition and lifestyle, sitting across the desk from each of them, one by one. I have realized that much of the basic lifestyle advice, although always continuing to be modified with science and clinical practice, has had a common denominator in regard to most of my patients, regardless of their presenting health concerns.
The time involved and the cost to each patient, when given one by one, would simply be unattainable for many people in my clinic. This information is far too important, and life changing. That’s why I needed to make it easily accessible and affordable to everyone! In order to get the growing burden of our health care problem in this country under control, it is important to share this information with everyone you care about!
With this realization, my passion and desire has only grown in regard to wanting to share solid, foundational, health information with more people than I can possibly reach with the limitations of a “brick-and-mortar” clinic. Thankfully, the internet has provided me the vehicle with which I can now more broadly share my knowledge and years of experience, while recognizing my passion to contribute positively to the well-being of people I otherwise could never reach.
So, how did I come up with the name “Geared2bewell?”
There's a very instrumental acronym for each of the letters in the word “GEARED”
G = Grateful
E = Eliminate
A = Add
R = Rest / Restore
E = Exert
D= Discover
“G” is for Grateful, and we now know that an “Attitude of Gratitude,” or being thankful, releases hormones in our bodies that produce greater health, reduce stress, and help improve sleep. So the first thing we need to do is to become, and remain, thankful for the content of our lives by purposefully choosing to see the glass “half-full” rather than "half-empty."
“E” is for Eliminating toxic, inflammatory foods and drinks, or even people and places from our life. The consumption of some of these foods and drinks, has long term effects on our health, and those effects are not good for us.
“A" is for Adding to our life positive thoughts, people, places, and delicious, healthy, clean foods and drinks. By adding healthier options, such as organic, pesticide free, humanely treated and non-GMO foods to our diet, we can make an immediate and profound difference in the health and quality of our life.
"R" is for Rest, Relaxation, and Restoration for ourselves. It is equally important is that we get adequate rest, as this is where we replenish, regenerate and repair our bodies.
"E" is for the Exertion of energy, even if it’s walking, biking, dancing, swimming or just moving our arms and legs while seated in a chair. Expending energy and exercising oxygenates our body, keeps us mobile and flexible and keeps our heart, lungs and brain healthier as well.
“D” is for Discovering the positive changes to our health, coupled with empowerment to take control over our destiny. We can now experience a new vitality, purpose, direction and passion for life!
