The Seven Keys to Health

By Dr. Rob Davis

There are seven key areas of health that I look at when I’m trying to untangle someone’s web of dysfunction.  Depending on how they’re treated, these seven keys can  either foster wellness and longevity or create debilitating  chronic health problems because each of these keys either  adds to our health or actively takes away and destroys our  health. Throughout my years of practice and study, I’ve  discovered that any kind of disruption in these seven areas is  going to cause disconnection and dysfunction (check engine  light) which may eventually turn into chronic issues. When  I work with a patient to help them with their chronic health  problems, this is always where we begin. When these seven  areas are treated well, it unleashes your body’s superpower  which is its ability to heal itself. 

Oxygen: Number One of the BIG Three. It is necessary  and essential for life. Oxygen is the deal breaker when it  comes to neurological health. The less oxygen we have in  our bodies, the more things start to malfunction and the  less capacity our bodies have to heal themselves. 

Glucose: Number Two of the BIG Three. A good  metaphor is that it’s like the gasoline for your car engine.  Cars run at a certain octane level, and if that level gets out  of balance, the car isn’t going to run properly. Our bodies  work the same way with glucose. 

Stimulation: Number Three of the BIG Three. As  Einstein once said, “Nothing happens until something  moves,” and in the body, no healing happens until  something is stimulated. 

Autoimmune Disorders: Autoimmune disorders are  kind of like “friendly fire.” They develop when our immune  system starts attacking itself instead of a foreign invader.   Inflammation: Logic tells you that if your house was  on fire, you wouldn’t start rebuilding it until after the blazes  were put out. Inflammation is like a fire in your body, and  it can’t start to heal until that fire is gone.  

Neurotoxins: These toxins are anything that’s taken into  the body that causes neurological damage. Unfortunately  neurotoxins are much more common than you may  imagine. 

Gut Health: The role of gut health is paramount because  poor gut health is a trigger for autoimmune conditions and  out of control inflammatory responses. We must heal our  guts in order to heal our brains and bodies.
