As the New Year unfolds, many of us set resolutions to improve our health—whether it's getting in shape, eating better, or managing stress more effectively. But what if you could take a deeper, more foundational approach to your health this year? Dr. Mike Shaub, D.C., owner of Well Health & Chiropractic in Lebanon, believes the key to lasting wellness lies in something many of us overlook: the health of your nervous system.

For Dr. Shaub, chiropractic care isn’t just about relieving back pain—it's about unlocking the body’s natural ability to heal and function at its best. His passion for chiropractic care started as a personal journey, influenced by his own experiences as a high school and college football player. Two car accidents and years of physical strain led him to seek chiropractic care himself, and the results spoke for themselves. Now, he dedicates his life to helping others achieve better health through nervous system regulation.

The Body's Self-Healing Design

"Our bodies are designed to heal themselves," says Dr. Shaub. "The brain and nervous system are the control center for everything in your body. Chiropractic works directly with the nervous system, improving the function of the nerves that coordinate every process, from breathing to digestion to movement." By keeping the nervous system in balance, chiropractic care helps ensure the body can function at its optimal level.

But Dr. Shaub doesn’t just focus on spinal adjustments. At Well Health, they take a holistic approach to healing, incorporating a range of therapies to help the body heal faster and more effectively. From Red Light Therapy to stem cell activation, the goal is to give your body the maximum healing power it needs to overcome stress, fatigue, and other health challenges that many of us face in the New Year.

The 80/20 Rule: Nutrition for a Balanced Life

Dr. Shaub emphasizes the importance of nutrition as part of a holistic wellness plan. He follows and teaches his patients the 80/20 rule when it comes to diet. “80% of your food should be clean, organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free,” he explains. "This includes whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body." The remaining 20%? “This is for the occasional indulgence — vacations, dining out, or birthday parties. Life is about balance.”

By focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods most of the time, you can give your body the fuel it needs to thrive. Proper nutrition supports the nervous system, strengthens the immune system, and helps the body heal more quickly from injuries or stress.

Supporting Nervous System Health with Advanced Therapies 

Cutting-edge therapies available at Well work together with chiropractic care to enhance your nervous system’s function, leading to better sleep, increased energy, and overall improved health in the New Year.

  • Red Light Therapy Overcome sleep issues, low energy, and inflammation. Red Light Therapy stimulates cellular healing, improves blood flow, reduces pain, and boosts vitality.
  • Nano-Silver Known as “God’s antibiotic,” Nano-Silver helps destabilize abnormal cells, supporting your immune system and aiding your body in fighting illness.
  • Zyto Machine Biofeedback Technology Identify nutrient deficiencies in your body. The Zyto machine provides insight into what your body needs, allowing Dr. Shaub to recommend targeted supplements and dietary adjustments to support your nervous system.
  • Stem Cell Therapy Photo Therapy Activate your body’s "sleeping" stem cells using copper peptides. This advanced therapy accelerates healing, supports cellular regeneration, and helps your body recover from chronic pain, old injuries, or daily wear and tear.

A Holistic Approach to New Year’s Wellness

As we enter the New Year, many of us are looking for ways to improve our health and live more intentionally. Dr. Shaub’s approach to nervous system regulation through chiropractic care, nutrition, and advanced therapies offers a powerful foundation for health that goes beyond quick fixes or fleeting resolutions. By focusing on the nervous system, the body’s self-healing ability, and a balanced lifestyle, you can experience more energy, better sleep, and greater overall well-being in the year ahead.

“Health is a journey,” says Dr. Shaub. “It’s about taking care of your body on a deeper level, so it can take care of you for years to come.” With his holistic approach, patients of Well Health & Chiropractic can take meaningful steps toward lasting wellness, not just in the New Year, but for years to come.
