Life By Design is an essential part of transforming the world’s health crisis.  It is based on powerful principles that are scientific, logical and easy to follow.  Health is your birthright. It is the natural, normal expression of living your Life By Design.

Brain – Body Connection

A good nerve supply is essential to health and life.  At the core of all cellular function, from glands producing hormones and stresschemicals, to muscles contracting for optimal performance, to the immune system defending against foreign invaders, to tissues and organs undergoing healing and repair, is the nervous system.  Wellness Chiropractic focuses on correctinginterference to this delicate and important system, establishing a base of quality communication upon which integration of the other Life By Design steps can be maximized.

Eat By Design

Eat By Design works in harmony with our body’s genetic make-up and design.  It is not a diet, but instead an approach to fulfilling the nutritional requirements of the body for optimal function.  Based on the ground-breaking work of Loren Cordain, Ph.D, Eat By Design teaches people how to eat to create health, instead of eating to alleviate a symptom or to treat a disease.  Eat By Design is a sustainable, enjoyable and incredibly healthy approach to eating for life.

What about Supplements?  Introducing the Life By Design Essentials.

Let's make supplementaiton really simple.  Our current lifestyle and environment makes being fully sufficient in all required nutrients challenging and in some cases, nearly impossible.  We recommend some basic supplementation to fulfill what is missing for the majority of people.  Keep it simple: an animal source of omega 3 fats, vitamin D, a probiotic, digestive enzymes, and a multiple mineral supplement.  Eat By Design is the primary approach to fulfilling your nutritional requirements, the LBD Essentials simply fill in the gaps.

Move By Design

We have clear indicators that our body requires much more and different types of movement than are currently “normal” for the average person.  Move By Design is based on 4 parameters:  Be Mobile, Lift Heavy, Go Fast, Move Slow.  Depending on goals and objectives, each one of these areas can be tailored individually, but they form the basic foundations for optimal human movement, health and longevity.

Clearly Defined Purpose. Rest. Play. Love.

Are you wandering aimlessly or are you anchored like a rock?  A purpose is your compass, your map and your horizon.  It can focus you, drive you and reward you.  Whether it be raising a healthy, happy family, traveling the world giving to others or creating a successful business, the secret to happiness is having a clearly defined purpose.  Do you take time for yourself?  Do you experience quality, restful sleep? Do you enjoy what you do? Is your life fun? Are you able to give and receive love?  Each of these components has an enormous physiologic effect on the function of our bodies.  Each enhances our stress chemistry, immunology, healing, energy levels, moods, digestion, happiness and our overall quality of life

Join the Life by Design MOVEMENT in Barrie

Life by Design goes far beyond the walls of our office.  Firstly, there are TWO Life by Design offices in Barrie - our office and Cafe of Life Barrie.  As this movement grows, we have brought on affiliates who are Life by Design approved!  What does this mean?  This means that their product and service is something we strongly believe supports the principles of living a Life by Design.  Please check out and support these local businesses!  

Nicholyn Farms - Nicholyn Farms is a fantastic food resource for anyone who is wanting to Eat by Design!  Local (organic or all natural) meats, fish, eggs, vegetables, and fruits are available in their store on Horseshoe Valley Rd. or at the local Farmer's Markets (Barrie on Saturday mornings year round and Innisfil on Thursday afternoons in the summer).  Check out the video Dr. Andrea & Blake made about our visit to Nicholyn Farms on our VIMEO CHANNEL.  

CrossFit Barrie - CrossFit Barrie is a local gym that encourages people to work on mobility and lift heavy - two of the principles of our Move by Design component.  This is where Dr. Andrea trains three times a week and the community is phenomenal.  Regardless of your ability, age, stage in life, strength, or level of physical health, CrossFit Barrie will help you recognize and reach your goals.  

Cravings Fine Foods - Delicious.  One word to describe the menu at Cravings.  While not all of their fare falls under the Eat by Design principles, their Life by Design approved menu most definitely does!  Pasta-less lasagna, bean-free chili, coconut shrimp, and more.  It is WORTH a trip to the south end of Barrie to check out their menu!

Kelsey's - Think it's difficult to eat out while eating by design?  Think again.  Kelsey's has a Life by Design approved menu available at our office that you can take to ANY Kelsey's world-wide.  Take the stress out of eating out!  Just ask at our front desk for the menu and we will happily provide one to you!
