Meet Dr. Feng, one of our chiropractors AND clinic director! Check out his responses below to the following questions: 1) What do you love about your career? "I have always loved the ability to influence people's lives in a positive direction. In many cases, people come in for our service with pain, and looking for a quick fix. However, in many cases, the pain that they feel is only a byproduct of a larger issue. In most none acute cases, it's the combination of mobility, s...tability, how and what they consume, and how they move their bodies that contributes to the end result of pain. Alongside creating a health plan, empowering the patient to take control of their health is what is most important. As much as we are practitioners and use our hands, the health coaching and our ability to transform the level of health for people is really what I love about what I do. 2) What are your favourite hobbies? "I am a closet aquascaper , wrestler , fisherman and farmer . 3) What is one motivational quote you would give to your patients? Peak performance is dependent on passion, grit, determination, and a willingness to do something poorly until you can do it well. Zig Ziggler 4) What is one fun fact that surprises people about you?

What are exercise snacks? Not food! Exercise snacks are small bouts of exercise that you can perform throughout the day. Rather than performing all of your exercise in one session, perform 1 set of each exercise in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Another way is to split up the times of your exercise. If your goal is to hit 60 minutes of walking in one day, split it up in 10 minute periods of walking 6 times throughout the day! Science has shown that 'exerci...se snacks' help to improve blood sugar control, especially after a meal. Therefore, walk after your meals! Sources: Francois et al., 2014; Rafiei et al., 2020
