About Zone Healing Health and Wellness Center in Encino

I am Dr. Yoav Stein and I am please to welcome you to Zone Healing Health & Wellness Center. We've been delivering quality chiropractic care and holistic care to the Los Angeles community since 2004.

In our office we believe that people spend more money on health then ever before and take more drugs than ever before. Yet people are sicker than ever before in history. So why do people get sick? You don’t catch cancer, and diabetes, people’s bodies develop them. You don’t catch obesity; your body becomes fat or obese. Being sick is not normal and it is not a natural state of the body. Your body is not supposed to get sick. So there are two reasons why people become ill; 1) You catch something, meaning you picked up a germ (a virus or bacteria) 2) You developed an illness or disease. This means there is an imbalance in the body and your immune system is weak.

In order for the body to heal itself of any ailment you have to understand the cause and the root of the ailment. No matter what disease you have whether its cancer, fibromyalgia, acid reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, weight gain, constipation, flatulence, heart disease, diabetes, allergies, colitis, aches and pains etc… the cause is all the same. All diseases are caused from one or more combinations of the following five things:

1. Too many toxins in the body
2. Nutritional deficiencies
3. Physical, chemical or emotional stress
4. Electromagnetic chaos
5. The body being not balanced

Too Many Toxins in the Body. To address to the first issue, what is a toxin? A toxin is a poison. It is a substance if taken in large dosages it can cause severe illness. The number one toxin you can put in your body is prescription and non-prescription drugs. The reason is that all drugs have negative side effects. If you are taking a drug to suppress one symptom that drug is causing some other major problem to develop in the body. Even if you stop taking drugs, the wheels have been set in motion and in a few weeks or month you have some more symptoms caused from the first drug you took a couple of month ago. It is important to note that drugs only suppress symptoms; they do not treat the cause. Furthermore, when your body is toxic, your body is acidic. As long as your body pH remains acidic, you virtually never get rid of your ailment. In order to achieve health you must be able to bring your pH level to alkaline (7.2-7.4). When the body is in this stage, only then will you be free of any symptoms and ailments. In order to achieve this patients have to cleanse the body of toxins. Only once this is achieved in conjunction with proper balanced diet can the body’s pH start moving from an acidic stage to an alkaline stage.

Nutritional Deficiencies. The second issue is nutritional deficiencies. In today society, the Standard American Diet that people has been eating has been a source for all the diseases and illness that develop. More and more kids and adults are becoming obese. There diet consists of two many carbohydrates and fats and not enough organic fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, people do not understand the importance of having a proper diet. Many illnesses and disease can be cured from just eating the right foods and proper diet. Furthermore, when the proper diet is not eaten, people develop a weak immune system which is a result on not having enough antioxidants in the body. It have been shown by scientists that substances in the form of antioxidants may be our best form of prevention of some of the most common diseases, and may offer better long term help for these diseases than medications. Proper diet is important, but when someone presents with a condition or an ailment, he or she must have the right combination in diet too. NO TWO DIETS ARE ALIKE. A proper nutritional combination is 50% of the battle. It is important that the person with a certain type of ailment has the right combination of diet for his or her condition. In order to prevent any confusion Dr. Stein hand designs every nutritional protocol for his patient. Each protocol again is tailored to his or her specific conditions and symptoms.

Physical, Chemical or Emotional Stress. Thirdly, stress comes in three forms; physical, chemical or emotional. Stress is defined as any negative thoughts that cause the body to become acidic, thus creating an environment for illness and disease. These negative thoughts can be conscious or unconscious in nature. Your body is in fact a very powerful electromagnetic transmitter and receiver for energy. Every thought you have can have a powerful impact on your cells in your body. Positive high vibration thoughts can rid your body of disease. Negative stressful low vibration thoughts can give your body disease. It is important to be able to keep stress under control. This is achieved through Zone Healing and de-stressing exercises (a technique used commonly in Europe to help treat and cure cancer patients) that Dr. Stein enforces on his patients.

Electromagnetic Chaos. Furthermore, electromagnetic chaos is described as electromagnetic fields which are invisible, yet active forces, produced by anything transmitting an electrical wave, including: electrical appliances, power lines, cell phone towers, radio stations, and so on. Electromagnetic field overload can cause significant disturbances in your body. For many years, researchers have known the effects electromagnetic fields can have on your health. Unfortunately, this information has not been brought to public attention. Managing the electromagnetic chaos in your everyday environment is highly recommended by Dr. Stein. It is true the electromagnetic fields are all around us but one must do everything possible to minimize their exposure to these fields. Dr. Stein addresses this issue using several ways to help lower the interference and the electromagnetic field that the body has to endure on a daily basis.

The Body Being not Balanced. Most importantly, when your body is not balanced there are a lot of interferences in the body. The brain is the powerhouse and controls everything that goes on in the body. When the brain is sending improper signals to the body disease or illnesses start developing. Zone Healing is a technique that breaks the body into six systems (glandular, elimination, nervous, digestion, muscular, and circulatory). When one or more of these systems are not balanced disease develops. Dr. Stein can restore the body to health from almost any disease by manipulating the parts of the spine that correspond to each zone. Once those points on the spine are stimulated the brain is able to receive the proper signals, and send those signals to the rest of the body. Once this is achieved the healing process begins in autopilot, and is treated continuously until that particular zone or zones are cleared. Most importantly it is vital to understand how our bodies become unbalanced. There are two ways this can be achieved; 1) the brain is sending the correct signals to the body, but somehow the signal through the nerves is blocked. 2) the information that the brain is sending to the body is going through, but the information from the brain to the body is incorrect. What this means is there is a re-wiring issue that needs to be addressed. Whatever the situation, Zone Healing is able to restore both the condition and bring balance to each system so health can be achieved. There are 13 reasons why balancing your zones is important, and why keeping your zones balanced for life is important:

1. More Energy– the vital energy that runs your body comes from the brain, travels over the nerves and gives vitality and vigor to your body. When the energy is expressed in a balanced manner your body will work at its fullest potential. That is why BALANCED ZONES=PERFECT HEALTH
2. Memory, Concentration and Thinking is much clearer– Did you ever have a day when your mind was extra sharp, thoughts and ideas came quickly or your memory was extremely good? Was there ever a day where just the opposite happened? The Reason for that is that your body chemistry determines your ability to think, concentrate and remember. Your ZONES control the body chemistry and when your ZONES are balanced so is your body chemistry.
3. Less Stress– How can getting your ZONES checked make your job easier or cause everyone around you to give you less problems? There is a difference between adversity and stress. Adversities are the circumstances of life. Stress is the inability to handle those adversities. How balanced your ZONES are will determine how much adversity you can handle and how much stress you have in your life
4. A longer life – If your take care of your body you will live longer. Taking care of yourself means learning to cope and deal with stress, eliminate the toxins from your body, eat right and make sure your ZONES are balanced.
   Better Sleep – All sleep is not the same. Just because you get ten hours of sleep does not mean you are getting the rest and recuperation you need. At different times, we have all awakened refreshed, sluggish or tired from the same amount of sleep. How balanced your ZONES are, will determine how much of your sleep is real sound sleep. Basically the longer your REM sleep is the more refreshed you become. Balanced Zones help achieve longer REM sleep.
5. Greater Value from your exercise– We all need to exercise regularly. Some people believe and have a hard time getting off the couch to even start a workout. Some people have unbalanced zones that keep the muscles of the body from receiving a full complement of vital energy. What happens is that there is not enough energy going to the muscles. Keep your ZONES balanced and get the energy you need.
6. Balanced Body Chemistry– Everyone has unique body chemistry. The organs, glands and cells of the body must be working properly to produce just the right chemicals in just the right amounts at the just the right time. Balanced ZONES are critical in the coordination of body chemistry.
7. More Hours in Your Day– How can you get more than 24 hours a day from ZONE HEALING visit? Well time-management experts will tell you that it is the efficiency of your time, not the total number of hours your trying to accomplish things. When your ZONES are balanced your mind and body are working well as they can and you more efficient.
8. Increase Income Earning Capacity– If you had more energy, clearer thinking, a better ability to handle adversity, more alertness, were more efficient and physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually functioning at a higher level, you could work harder, get a better job or possibly a promotion, or even start a business of your own. That is what ZONE HEALING is all about.
9. Improved Relationship– Why is it that some people seem to be able to get along with people that you cannot stand? Perhaps that is you. If you were functioning at a higher level. If your body chemistry is balanced, you can handle them better and not be bothered by whatever it is about them that affects your relationship. Even better, get them to ZONE HEALING and you may even become best of friends!
10. Improved Performance– With balanced ZONES, all your performance levels will be elevated. Getting your ZONES, eating right, getting rid of your toxins and eliminated or minimizing stress will have a cumulative effect and result in noticeable changes and improved performances.
11. Better Digestion– There are many reasons why certain foods affect certain people. Most of the time, the cause can be traced back to the inability of the person to handle particular foods. Also the nerve signals from the brain to the organs, cells and tissue is being blocked or even worse is being sent incorrectly. Healthy ZONES leads to correct information from the brain to the body to be sent correctly, lead to better appetite and have a normal and wonderful digestion.
12. Enjoy Life More– the bottom line is to have a happier and more fulfilled life. When you see improvement in the areas above, your LIFE has to be more enjoyable. Even some of the things you do not enjoy now could become more pleasurable and rewarding. Remember get your ZONES checked regularly and enjoy life more!

Our approach is simple. In order to get to the root of the problem we use whole body approach to health. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

 

1. Relief Care

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

• Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
• Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
• Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
• Explain value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Wellness Care

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.
