The foot is made up of 26 bones, 30 joints, and 100 muscles. The foot area on the human sensory homunculus takes up as much priority as your genitals. That is how high your body prioritizes sensory information from the feet. The feet are designed to feel our environment and relay information back to the brain. The problem is we neglect the health of our feet. Not only are humans not moving, but when they do move, it is foot foam sensory deprivation devices that ignore the biomechanical design of the feet entirely.

Lead by Example and Create Superhero Children By: Dr. Andrew Baranski
Becoming a father has brought so much joy and gratitude into my life. Fatherhood has also increased my awareness of how I conduct life daily. Over the past few months, Oaklen has begun to show admiration towards me. The first time Samantha expressed that Oaklen got excited when I entered the room, I was excited. Then I began to remember as a child how I thought my father was a superhero. It was then that I realized the burden I now carry because there is no human I will ever have more of an influence on than Oaklen. Human neurology wires children to learn through observation. An area of the … [Read more...]

The medical system has made the etiology of a disease complex … [Read more...]
Dr. Andrew’s Post Workout Morning Super Coffee By: Dr. Andrew Baranski
It is important to note that I love quality coffee. When consumed responsibly, coffee not only provides a shot of energy but also has health benefits such as improved physical performance, optimized cognition, aiding fat utilization, polyphenols, and magnesium. The key is to minimize coffee consumption to no more than 2 cups a day. I usually only consume less than 12 ounces a day. I also take a week’s break from coffee once a month and for an adaptogen brew such as Rasa monthly to allow my adenosine receptors to adapt. On most weekdays, I wake up between 4:00am and 4:30am and begin my … [Read more...]
The 75 Hard Challenge By: Dr. Andrew Baranski
A challenge is a call to participate in a contest or competition. The competition most of the time is the person staring at you in the mirror. Every day one is faced with challenges and we have the decision to overcome them or seek comfort. I am a big fan of challenges, whether the challenge is a 4-minute Crossfit workout, or a lifetime challenge of being a loving husband. It is easy to perform at your best when you feel great, but when life supplies obstacles, few find solutions. Throughout the year, I participate in challenge programs. I have already completed a 30 Day Detox Challenge, 40 … [Read more...]
