Chapter one, framework for achieving your optimal health. We're here with Dr. Janowitz. Welcome, Dr. Janowitz.
Thank you so much.
We're excited to start off this journey together. Each segment is going to focus on a chapter and as you know, Dr. Janowitz has written his first book, the Synergy Health Solution. Congratulations on your book.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's been a great journey.
I see. And we're going to go along with you on another journey.
Yes, absolutely.
So the word synergy is tossed around quite frequently, but Dr. Janowitz really broke down what synergy means and how we can use it in our lives. So, Doctor, tell us, what exactly is synergy and how is it helpful to each of us?
Absolutely. So I've been amazed in really discovering the term synergy. I first learned about it through Stephen Covey's book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. And he talked about one of the habits of synergizing, meaning combining all the other habits that he used to. So that really resonated with me. And then I named my practice the Synergy of Vito Chiropractic as well. But then when I've lectured with thousands of people, I've really come to discover that people don't really know what the term means. And synergy can be a synthesis combining things. It could be a combination of things like energies, but synergy really means about how do you combine things in such a way that produces a multiplier effect that can produce a greater result than just by itself? The best way to do is to give you an example. So, like in our practice, we use chiropractic care as the foundation of what we do. We also do Jenny. We do physical therapy. And massage therapy, health coaching, home care system. And all these things by themselves are great. But then when you combine them, it produces a significantly, a dramatic, a multiplying effect that is full of far greater than just the individual services by themselves. Well, taking that a step further, you can combine synergy to all areas of your life. It's like a husband is great and a wife is great, and by themselves can be amazing people. Right. But when you combine them together, what they can produce is amazing. Or business partners. Right. Can have one set of skills and another set of skills and the combination. So synergy means how can we combine things in such a way that will work together, that produces a greater result? And one of the things I hope to accomplish to the people who are watching this is to know that, you know, you deserve a much greater and you're capable of a much greater and expanding life. And it's really about not looking about life as addition. How can I add this or subtract this? Which people live in either like an ad life or an either or. Right.
So there's math involved in this synergy.
Absolutely. I mean, why can't it be a. Why can't it be a both? Like, why can't you have your cake and eat it and make that even better? And that's the whole concept of synergy.
Okay, so there's a multiplication effect. It's not just an addition or subtraction approach to life.
Absolutely.
So I'm sure you and your wife are an amazing power couple. I know that personally. But adding synergy to the mix creates those power couples that everyone talks about.
I am very blessed. I have the most awesome wife, Dawn. We've been married about 14 years now, so it's great.
She's amazing. So you developed this book and a system called the Synergy Health Solution. What exactly is that?
Yep. So the Synergy Health Solution, then is, you know, how can we create a solution to get people to achieve their best health? I mean, when working with, at this point, nearly 20,000 people, you start to see patterns. Right. And you're seeing that there's all these things occurring in their health. And now what we want to do is unpack a way where how can we combine, like I talked about earlier, the different therapies to help them to achieve their best health and then utilizing this synergy Health solution, which is really a framework. So the book certainly is going to talk through a chiropractic lens. That's what I am. It's what I've been doing for decades. But the Synergy Health solution is much greater. It's a way to holistically look at all the areas of your life, to systematically break them down, and then have this system which we call the Synergy Success cycle, and apply that cycle towards your health.
Great. So in order to get to other levels in your life or achieve success at higher levels, you basically need to get the health aspect under control first, right?
Absolutely. I mean, you know, in the book we talk about the wheel of life, which is. Talks about all the different areas from your health. Right. To your spirituality, to your faith. I know that you're a person of faith and towards your relationships, towards your career, towards what you do for fun, all these areas, your finances. But the reality of it is, the truth is that without your health, it's impossible to be great at any area of your life. So my intention in the first book was to really set the stage that you need to be focusing on your health, and you have to make your health work and have it strong and robust so you can experience greatness in your life.
I have some personal experience with that, so I understand what it's like to not have your health in control and then it's kind of a domino effect with the other areas of your life. We'll talk about that later on in this series, but you mentioned that this is the start of it. All. Right, so we're starting with the health aspect, but there's something that you're referring to as the synergy health life.
Yes.
What does that mean?
Yeah. Oh, I love it. So as you can tell, I love the word synergy. Right. So the reality of it is, is the synergy life then is. Is really this approach. And. And this is, you know, let's be really clear. You know, living a life of intention takes work. Right. But the. But the work is worthwhile because of the result that you can create. And so the synergy life is really this parent concept where how can you improve first your health? Work on that. But what's so great about that is it has a spillover. It's like once you start eating healthier, you start to think better. Right. And once you start in a good relationship, you start to want to take care of yourself better. Right. So there's so many ways or you want to exercise. Right. And so the synergy life then is. Is this concept of living your best life by making sure that every area of your life is running on all cylinders. So when your health is working great and you've synergized that and having aspects of that which we'll uncover in the concept. And then your finances are working right, and your relationships are working right, Your marriage, your children, what you do for a career, what you do for fun, all that working together. I call that the synergy. Life is when you can take a step back, and it's something that you're proud of. It's something that inspires you. It's something that you can leave a legacy for your family. You know, it's amazing at different decades of your life, right? First you're kind of in that learning stage, and then you become in that growth stage, and then you get to another stage where you're like, you know, how can I leave a legacy? And so my vision and my goal is to create a legacy of this concept of creating the synergy life so everybody can find a way to achieve their best life. Because, you know, everybody's journey is unique and special. And so, you know, it's not about living my journey. It's not about living your journey. It's about finding your journey, finding your path to your best life. Because this isn't a dress rehearsal, right?
I love when you said that in the book, and I was just about to say that you said that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get one shot at it, right? So why not make. Make it your best life?
Absolutely. You have to.
I love the hope that you give to your readers, because, as you mentioned, this is a synergy life or the synergy life. It's not just a health solution. But this health solution creates the foundation for all of the other areas in your life that will ultimately improve once you improve this part of your life. So I really feel that this book is very inspiring and it gives someone hope. It gave me hope.
That everything can align better so that we do have our best life. And there was a quote in your book that I'd like to share. It says, you are here for a purpose, and the world desires the best version of you. It's your intention to help squeeze the juice out of our lives so that we have our best experience in this world. What a wonderful statement.
Well, thank you so much.
Thank you.
That's what it's about.
And I have to say that that is what you do. You do that here in your office. And Dr. Janowitz has been a role model in my life, and he has helped improve my health significantly. So thank you very much and keep watching. We have some exciting things coming up in the next two episode.
