Covering All the Bases
Dr. Tom uses the metaphor of a baseball diamond to explain his comprehensive approach to health. Just as a baseball team needs all bases covered to win, optimal health requires addressing all aspects of your wellness simultaneously.
- Home Plate — Structural / Physical Health: Chiropractic care, posture, and movement. This is where we always start. The spine is the information highway of the body, and when it’s clear, everything else works better.
- 1st Base — Biochemical / Nutritional Health: Nutrition, supplements, and gut health. You can’t build a healthy body on a poor foundation. What you eat — and what you don’t absorb — matters more than most people realize.
- 2nd Base — Neurological / Emotional Health: Stress, unresolved emotions, and the nervous system. Most physical ailments have an emotional component. The Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) helps the body release what it’s been holding onto.
- 3rd Base — Environmental / Toxic Load: Heavy metals, microplastics, EMF exposure, and environmental stressors that interfere with your body’s natural function. If the engine is dirty, it doesn’t run well.
The Six Types of Stress
Dr. Tom identifies six categories of stress that can affect your health — often working together in ways that make it hard to pinpoint the real cause of your symptoms:
- Physical Stress — Trauma, injuries, poor posture, lack of movement
- Biochemical Stress — Poor nutrition, toxins, medications, gut dysbiosis
- Emotional Stress — Anxiety, unresolved trauma, relationship stress
- Thermal Stress — Extreme temperatures, environmental exposures
- Electromagnetic Stress — EMF exposure, electronics, radiation
- Photonic Stress — Light imbalances, seasonal issues, screen exposure
