Dr. Todd Austin speaks about "Healthy Sleep" on December 2010 LifePath DVD.

Dr. Todd Austin from Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL was the first of five featured experts on the December 2010's monthly LifePath DVD. Dr. Austin, who has been serving the health and wellness needs of North Macoupin County, IL residents since 1996, spoke about "Healthy Sleep".

"Did you know that the position that you sleep in can determine not only how rested you feel in the morning, but can affect your overall health as well?" states Dr. Austin.

In his segment, Austin covered both proper and improper sleeping positions along with a few other tips as well.



Other featured speakers on the December LifePath DVD were Shihan Nico about a breathing technique known as "Centering"; Dr. Dan Pompa, D.C. speaking on "Flu Facts"; Dr. Harlan Sparer, D.C. showing that although nuts are a wonderful snack, they are much healthier when soaked first; and Dr. Jennifer Buonano, D.C. giving some great holiday shopping tips.

LifePath Productions is a chiropractic-friendly video production company from Carefree, Arizona. They produce monthly DVD's that hundreds of Doctors of Chiropractic now show to patients in their waiting rooms. Many D.C.'s also purchase extra DVD's every month to give out to patients and prospective patients, sort of like a video business card. LifePath Productions can be contacted at 1-888-787-8808.



Dr. Austin will be showing the December LifePath DVD off and on during normal business hours this month in Austin Family Chiropractic's reception room. The clinic also has extra copies to give to patients. For more information, Dr. Austin can be contacted at (217) 965-3100.

Back in June 2010, at the Logan College of Chiropractic 75th annual homecoming seminar, I met Robert Smith & Vera Almann who are the co-owners of a chiropractic-friendly production company called "LifePath Productions". They produce professional-quality reception room DVD's for Doctors of Chiropractic. This made perfect sense to me, so I immediately signed up for their service.



I also bounced some ideas off of Bob & Vera, regarding some of the things that I'm truly passionate about, as it pertains to helping myself, my family and my patients to lead healthier and more productive lives. And as a veteran member of Toastmasters, I even completed an Advanced Toastmasters Communication manual a few years ago that was called "Communicating on TV".



Then in mid-September 2010 Bob contacted me, as they were planning to be in my neck of the woods in early October 2010 to film some chiropractic-related segments at Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL.

I thought this was very cool, since they came all the way from Carefree, Arizona!



From my plethora of passionate chiropractic-related interests, Robert narrowed it down to "Proper Sleeping Habits to Maximize your Spinal Health" and "Holistic Tips for Sinus Health". So we shot those two 8 to 10 minute segments when they showed up at my office in North Macoupin County on Thursday October 7, 2010.

Each monthly DVD that LifePath Productions produces for Chiropractic Physicians and their patients consists of five 8 to 10 minute segments as follows:
- three relate to chiropractic
- one relates to some form of stretching or exercise
- one relates to healthy eating




Starting with November 2010, I now purchase extra LifePath DVD's to give out to my patients. Many patients have told me that they enjoy watching them and have already learned alot about different recipes, stretching, yoga, etc.



I just found out 2 days ago that I will be one of the five featured speakers on the December 2010 LifePath DVD. Woo Hoo! For a free copy of the DVD, please contact me at (217) 965-3100 or at draustin@royell.net .

Very truly yours in health,

Todd W. Austin, D.C.
