I was privileged to invite Dr. Gordon Fimreite for an interview with BooKecCenTric to discuss his latest book: 15 Steps to Health Living. Enjoy!

Thanks for your time today, @DrGordonFimreite. What's your book about, and what inspired you to write it?
@DrGordonFimreite: 15 Steps to Health Living incorporates many facets of health and well being including healthy eating, diet, optimizing nutrition, living longer, weight loss, dieting tips, mindfulness and brain health. I was inspired, in part, by my 105-year-old grandmother’s lifestyle.
I open my book with my healthy grandmother who lived to the age of 105 – healthy and happy: It’s fascinating how much the way she lived her life parallels what research studies are showing to contribute to healthy living and longevity. She ate nutritious foods, exercised, spent time in the sun to get her needed vitamin D, relaxed to handle stress, socialized, enjoyed humor, and had a purpose for living through her faith in God. Unfortunately, not everyone has my grandmother’s wisdom. Many people today eat poorly, exercise rarely, spend more time passively in front of a screen than actively doing mind games, socialize more on Facebook than out in the community, and lack purpose in their lives. Nor does everyone feel motivated to turn their lives around to a healthy lifestyle. This really hit home when I began giving speeches. People would share how difficult, even overwhelming it was to begin healthy habits and stick with them. During one of my speeches, someone yelled, "You have to die of something!" The audience burst into laughter. I thought I was passionately sharing ways to change daily habits and optimize health and add to a longer, more vibrant life. In truth I was overwhelming the audience with healthy tips and health concepts. Little wonder all they could think of was, "I can't give up my coffee" or "I can't give up my pastries and sweets," worried that there would be nothing left to eat to gratify their taste buds or their emotions. After the outburst and having lost my audience, I changed my approach. In future talks, I would say, “It is true we can't live forever. But if you and your loved ones can extend life 5, 10, or even 20 years and rid the feeling of constantly being sick and running to doctors, what’s that worth?"
Who is your target audience, and why do you think this book will appeal to them?
@DrGordonFimreite: This book is really for anyone looking for motivation and adaptable strategies to positively influence their health (body and mind). It's easy to read and can be a resource to those who are already living a healthy lifestyle or can be a source to those looking to start their health journey.
What was the hardest thing about writing your latest book?
@DrGordonFimreite: The most difficult part of writing this book was organizing it and having a general goal for the reader. I didn't want the readers to become bored or overwhelmed with facts and complex strategies. I wanted simple concepts and stories so the knowledge would stick and anyone could start and continue a healthy lifestyle. Each chapter starts and ends with the take home points.
As a writer, is there anything you've learned about yourself while writing this book?
@DrGordonFimreite: The book was a process (much like developing healthy habits) so I learned how to be patient and enjoy the process. One of the most exciting things I experienced while writing the book was ideas would constantly enter my mind. At times I was on a writers high and couldn't write fast enough. It was such a fun and exhilarating process. My personal hobby and career revolves around health. I was in my element so it was a very special process.
For your own reading, do you prefer ebooks or traditional paper/hard back books, and why?
@DrGordonFimreite: I grew up reading paper/hard back books, but started reading Kindle because of the convenience of it and haven't looked back. I find it easier pulling out my Kindle and start reading where I left off regardless of how many books I'm currently reading.
What is your niche genre, and if you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?
@DrGordonFimreite: The genre I prefer reading is health, wellness and self help books. If I was to write in another genre it would be an inspiring story of someone who succeeded in life with an extraordinary or challenging circumstance.
What books and authors have most influenced you?
@DrGordonFimreite: I prefer reading different authors to get different perspectives, viewpoints and ideas.
Do you have any more books in the works?
@DrGordonFimreite: I'm currently focused on my wellness practice, but I'm sure I'll venture to my next project before too long... stay tuned.
Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?
@DrGordonFimreite: I do read my reviews. I'm curious how others have related to my book and what they have to say. The only control you have is to do your best and focus on the positive. If you can learn from a negative, then that's a bonus. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, experiences and upbringings. You can't please everyone and you can't take reviews personally, you can just do your best.
What is your preferred method to have readers get in touch with or follow you (i.e., website, personal blog, Facebook page, Goodreads, etc.)?

‘Modern Spinal Abnormalities Are On The Rise’ Says Chicago Chiropractor Dr. Gordon Fimreite
3/28/2018
Prolonged computer work, texting, mobile and electronic devices are playing havoc on our backs and necks. What’s the solution?
Chicago, IL - Modern technological devices are usually seen as a good thing, but sometimes technology can have a negative impact, especially when it involves your health. This recent phenomenon is affecting people of all ages, including the young.
One of the biggest sources of neck pain, headaches, mid back pain, shoulder soreness, muscle tightness/spasms and even arm pain/tingling comes from anterior head carriage or Forward Head Posture, also called ‘text neck’. It is caused by prolonged hours of being hunched over computers, tablets, mobile and other electronic devices. Most Forward Head Posture involves prolonged sitting, so low back pain is also becoming problematic.
“I’m seeing more patients than ever who suffer from postural related problems.” says Dr. Gordon Fimreite of Chiropractic in Chicago Loop. “Normally the neck has a forward “C” curve but now is being stressed beyond its normal position and over time this presents a problem. Patients visit my office routinely to counter the damaging effects caused by work ergonomics.”
For every inch your head is thrusted forward from its natural position it adds an additional 10 lbs of stress to the neck, back and shoulders. According to the Mayo Clinic, this can "lead to long term muscle strain, disc herniations, arthritis and pinched nerves."
What are the solutions to correct Forward Head Posture?
Dr. Fimreite believes that chiropractic care is one of the best resources to correct and even reverse the damaging effects of Forward Head Posture.
He says the first objective is to detect the specific postural and spinal imbalance that is producing the spinal irritant. After finding this spinal subluxation (misalignment and nerve stress), he performs specific spinal adjustments to reduce the posture strain. In conjunction, it’s necessary to fix the workstation and be conscious of all activities where the head is flexing forward and down, including carrying heavy backpacks.

After getting chiropractic adjustments and fixing your workstation, there are specific exercises that he gives to patients after the pain is under control. He says one of the biggest mistakes is doing spinal exercises when the pain levels are not under control as this can make the condition worse. Once the patient is feeling better, then the focus is on function and optimal health.
“We live in a quick fix society, which is a contradiction to true health. Health problems usually don’t happen overnight and they certainly are not fixed overnight. A lot of people associate chiropractic with a pain remedy but are really missing out on the true health benefits including wellness and preventative care to optimize the mechanics and nervous system function,” says Dr. Fimreite.

Dr. Gordon, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I grew up with a passion for health and fitness. A family friend who I resonated with because of his same upbringing was a chiropractor who said he was living and teaching others on healthy living through his career as a chiropractor. I didn’t consider chiropractic as a career until after visiting his office for the day. I walked away being amazed. Read more by clicking on picture above, then click this link.

I'm seeing so many people with problems from poor posture in front of the computer that I decided to share my, "Proper Ergonomic Workstation" flyer that I use with my practice members in my office. We're also seeing the same problems develop as the result of texting (text neck) and using other electronic devices, which is all paying havoc on the posture. http://www.drfimreite.com/ergonomicflyer.html

Americans now get about 25 percent less sleep than they did a century ago. This isn’t just a matter of fatigue, it causes serious damage to your body.
Sleep deprivation can alter your levels of thyroid and stress hormones, which play a part in everything from your memory and immune system to your heart and metabolism. Over time, lack of sleep can lead to:
- Weight gain
- Depression
- High blood sugar levels and an increased risk of diabetes
- Brain damage
1. Use battery devices near bed instead of electrical plug devices or cell phones with their EMF and cellular signals.
Research has shown that exposure to high magnetic fields while sleeping can cause severe long-term illness. Many electric clocks produce high magnetic fields.
2. Turn off bedroom-affecting circuits.
A restful sleep is necessary for health and a strong immune system. Electric fields affect the bio-communication system, keeping you from sleeping soundly.
3. Eliminate or shield from radio frequency (RF).
Radio frequency signals from portable phones, cell phones, and wireless devices have been shown to interfere with your body’s immune system.
4. Use beds without metal.
Metal frames and metal box springs can amplify and distort the earth’s natural magnetic field, which can lead to a non-restful sleep. Use natural materials.
5. Make sure there are no elevated magnetic fields. Magnetic fields from appliances and building wiring can penetrate walls into a bedroom and disrupt your body’s communication system. (<0.2milligauss)

Other Ideas:
1. Sprinkle just-washed sheets and pillowcases with lavender water, and then iron them before making your bed. The scent is proven to promote relaxation.
2. Hide your clock, so that its glow won’t disturb you and make sure there is no light coming from other sources including your windows as this will seriously impair your body’s ability to produce melatonin.
3. Choose the right pillow -- neck pillows, which resemble a rectangle with a depression in the middle, can enhance the quality of your sleep and reduce neck pain.
4. Paint your bedroom sage green, or another soothing color, which will provide a visual reminder of sleep.
5. Move your bed away from outside walls, which will help cut down on noise.
6. Kick your dog or cat out of your bedroom -- studies have shown that they snore!
7. Take a hot bath 90 to 120 minutes before bedtime; it increases your core body temperature, and when it abruptly drops when you get out of the bath, it signals your body that you are ready for sleep.
8. Keep a notepad at your bedside -- if you wake in the middle of the night with your mind going, you can transfer your to-do list to the page and return to sleep unworried.
9. Put heavier curtains over your windows -- even the barely noticeable light from streetlights, a full moon, or your neighbor's house can interfere with the circadian rhythm changes you need to fall asleep.
10. Eat a handful of walnuts before bed -- they’re a good source of tryptophan, a sleep-enhancing amino acid.

The audible sound that happens during a chiropractic adjustment is one of the most misunderstood component of chiropractic. To explain what the “pop” or “crack” noise is, it must be understood that this audible is not the objective of chiropractic. So often I will hear a patient or someone I meet say, “Doc can you “crack” me?” I know their intention is sincere, but to doctors of chiropractors and patients who understand chiropractic, this is absurd. The real objective of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore nervous system function and proper structure of the spine. The causes of these misalignments or subluxations (shifting of the spine) are from accidents, slips & falls, poor posture, birth trauma, heredity factors i.e. scoliosis, etc. etc. Nerves stress and poor mechanics lead to devastating consequences to the function of our body over time. So what is the noise?
The sound during the adjustments happens in response to the sudden change in pressure in the spinal joint, along with nitrogen air molecules coalescing together. It’s similar to opening a Champaign bottle - the sudden pressure change along with the air bubbles coming together makes the sound. When people share their experiences of chiropractic with others by saying their chiropractor “cracked” or “popped” their neck or back and now feel better. That’s a misleading description of what’s going on and I can see why some people have a skewed sense of what chiropractic is. A better description of what’s occurring during the chiropractic adjustments is it’s removing nerve stress and/or nerve pressure and normalizing the spinal structure leading to better function and a healthier person.
The sound during the chiropractic adjustment is NOT bone rubbing on bone. Bone rubbing on bone would be called arthritis. If it was deteriorated or degenerated to that level, it would be called severe arthritis and would be exceptionally painful. Again, the noise during a chiropractic adjustment is simply air pressure in the spinal joints. There are some techniques or ways to adjust the spine that don’t elicit the sound so often associated with chiropractic.
