Our guest columnist, Dr. Chris Mosier, has recently begun a children's series on chiropractic care that includes both digital books and animated shorts. Both will be available on The Washington County Times as they release.

It’s not about the push-ups—it’s about who you become by keeping your word 10,000. So far this year, I’ve done 10,000 push-ups. No, I’m not kidding. One hundred push-ups a day for one hundred days. There are two things about that number that surprise even me: The fact that I’m doing push-ups at all. Not that long ago, I could barely do two… back when I weighed nearly 400 pounds. The fact that I’ve stuck with something for 100 consecutive days. Some of you reading this might t

Sometimes Hope is the only thing Holding Someone Together. (Trigger warning – suicide) Bright lights and sirens filled the summer morning air. As I stepped outside our front door, I glanced to the right—toward our neighbor’s house. It was surrounded by police cars, first responders, and an ambulance. There was a commotion I didn’t fully understand at the time. I remember seeing Rick’s teenage daughters—who used to babysit me—and their mom, completely distraught. I was only ei

A dad’s “brilliant” plan… and the lesson it revealed about staying connected to what truly powers your life. This past Easter, I made a parenting decision that… well… might be up for debate. After church, we had an Easter egg hunt with the boys. Isaiah and Isaac—being older and faster—were doing what they always do… absolutely dominating. Meanwhile, Ethan—my 2nd youngest—was giving it everything he had… but just couldn’t keep up. So naturally… Dad stepped in. Let’s just say I

How trying something new led to growth, connection, and a moment I’ll never forget For months, I had been wanting to try something new—but never seemed to find the time. I wanted to make homemade cinnamon rolls. Why? Because I like a challenge… and I wanted to see if I could beat the store-bought version. Well, it turns out Mr. Pillsbury knows exactly what he’s doing—especially compared to a baking amateur who arrogantly refuses to follow a recipe properly. Even though I’m ac

A simple moment that reveals a powerful truth about presence, health, and the stories we’re meant to live and share. We had quite some fun on our staycation this past week while the boys were off school for spring break; from playgrounds, to the Ark Encounter, to the zoo, to the Newport Aquarium, we had a blast. The lesson of the week was that these Mosier boys require a lot of energy and lots of attention. At one point Ethan, with his angry eyes, grabbed my face directly tow

About three weeks ago, I found myself in quite a marital situation. It was Valentine’s Day. After breakfast, Ellen gave the boys their Valentine’s presents from us… presents I didn’t even know about. Then it happened. She handed me a bag. Not a present—a bag. Needless to say, the “oh crap” alarm started going off in my head like it was the Fourth of July. Yep, you guessed it… I didn’t get her anything. In my defense, I thought we weren’t getting each other gifts because the f

What Happens When the Atlas Is Misaligned? When the Atlas shifts—even slightly—it can irritate the brainstem and create what we call neurological facilitation. In simple terms: The nervous system stays stuck in a high-distress signal.

Maintenance Care: Why Health Is Something You Keep, Not Just Get On a previous video, I shared how Ellen started chiropractic care because of her migraines—and how that journey ultimately led me to become a chiropractor. But what I haven’t really shared is what that experience did to me , and how it completely changed my life. So let me take you back for a moment. When There Was No Hope When Ellen and I were dating at Hanover College, her migraines were relentless. They were

Is Your Nervous System on a Dimmer Switch? This story that might date me just a bit. Some of you may remember Christopher Reeve , the actor who famously played Superman back in the day. He truly embodied strength and vitality. But during a horseback riding accident, he suffered a devastating injury at the very top of his neck—between the first two cervical bones. That injury didn’t damage his lungs. It didn’t injure his heart. It didn’t harm his digestive organs. Instead, it
