Movement Pillar

Move to live

Why is Movement Important?

We are designed to move, not be stationary. Moving helps to deliver water and oxygen to the cells, while simultaneously helping the body get rid of cellular waste.

If exercise were a pill, it would be an all-time best seller!

Dr. Ben Edwards

There is NO Pill Known to Man that Can Do All This...

Stimulates Bone Health

Muscles anchored in and pulling on bones helps to stimulate healthy bone growth.

Rejuvenates the cells

Moving delivers nutrients and oxygen to the cell while removing toxins, leading to more optimal cellular function.

Increases Oxygenation

Moving causes deeper breathing which oxygenates cells better.

Removes toxins

The flow of lymph fluid in our waste system, the lymphatic system, is dependent on you moving.

Hydrates cells

To move water to every one of the trillions of cells in the body, the irrigation system, called the fascia, requires us to bend, twist, and stretch properly to move water through that system.

Elevates the mood

Your own God-given “happy” chemicals like serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine are released with exercise.

Normalizes blood sugar

Insulin is the key that opens up the cells to receive sugar from the blood. The “keyhole” (aka insulin receptor) is kept clean and open with exercise.

reduces inflammation

A cell that can create energy and clear exhaust, will not lead to inflammation. Oxygenation, via exercise, is a key ingredient to this energy production process.

Reduces risk for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s:

All of these are really UTI symptoms rooted in inflammation that is manifesting in different organs of the body. A sedentary life leads to stagnation in the cells, resulting in inflammation and “disease”.

boosts memory

Exercise prompts the growth of new nerve cells and blood vessels, leading to improved memory.

Reduces stress

Endorphins released with exercise, HIIT in particular, helps reduce the feelings and impacts of stress.

reduces anxiety

Natural anti-anxiety brain chemicals are secreted more with exercise.

improves sleep

Natural anti-anxiety brain chemicals are secreted more with exercise

stimulates digestion

If you don’t move, the bowels don’t move!

Testimonials

“It’s just been a really neat journey. I won’t say that it’s been easy; it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done to be that strict about every bite that was put in her mouth for over a year. But I can say it was so worth it.”

“I don’t take any pills. I don’t take any medications for my diabetes, which is gone. I had pretty serious blood sugar issues for 21 years and since my last blood check that I had a few months ago, I am considered non-diabetic now.”

“Since that time, I don’t have any abdominal pain or symptoms, my energy level is way higher than it was, I’ve lost 30 pounds, exercising on a daily basis... eating right, I feel better, I spend half of the time in my office explaining to people what’s happened to me because they can see a difference in me.”

"We do think Dr. Ben is an amazing teacher… He explains very complicated things in a way that we can understand them... But, he explains things and basically gives us the ball to run with it… And we jumped in with both feet.”
