A Doctor’s Passion
Written By: Dr. Sue Aery - Aery Chiropractic & Acupuncture | Issue: 2016/01 - Winter
When I decided to go back to school to study for my doctorate degree, there wasn’t much hesitation in my actions.
In a matter of weeks, I was enrolled in school and retiring from my 20-plus year career as a tennis professional. I had discovered my real passion and I was finally pursuing a career based around that passion.
Since a very young age, I’ve been intrigued by the human body. When I was teaching tennis for a living, I studied the physics of the human body: how it moved, what made it bend and stretch, how it could create the most efficient, powerful swing over and over again. What I didn’t study then was what made the body break down over time. I wasn’t focused on whether the student was healthy or not.
This has become my passion. I finally found the avenue to help others while loving what I do every day. Through my study of nutrition, including another advanced degree in that field, I have also discovered how important whole foods are to the body and how badly we can hurt the body with unhealthy foods. We are what we eat. Oxidative stress is the result of eating and drinking poorly. Oxidative stress is what destroys cells too quickly, deprives the body of oxygen and nutrients on a cellular level and leads to diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
My passion has grown to include sharing this message and teaching as many people as possible how to be as healthy as they can be and live a vibrant and good quality life. How our culture thinks about and acts around food amazes me at times! We are not designed to eat adulterated foods, much less chemicals! Processed sugar is the number one killer of cells and organs, acting like gasoline being poured on a fire. The inside of the body becomes one big inflammatory fire, killing off cells and destroying vital tissues, including the brain. The main cause of Alzheimer’s disease is inflammation of the brain tissue. Autoimmune diseases are usually triggered by inflammation in the body. The body is unable to handle the genetic shift and that translates into autoimmunity.
Gather knowledge. Be aware. Ask questions. What do you already know and what do you need to learn if you want to live a long and healthy life? We can never learn too much when it comes to being healthy so be passionate about your health and you!
