Exercise is one of the most powerful tools for energy, longevity, oxygenation, and homeostasis. We help you find the type of movement that fits your personality, goals, and physiology.

Movement Creates Health

Why Exercise Matters

Exercise impacts every system in the body. Even small increases in movement may:

  • Improve oxygenation and circulation

  • Clear insulin and stabilize blood sugar

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Support digestion and detoxification

  • Improve mood and mental clarity

  • Strengthen bones and muscles

  • Improve posture and mobility

  • Increase longevity and resilience

Dr. Prather teaches that exercise brings the body toward homeostasis—the true definition of health.

The Five Forms of Exercise

  • Walking, light jogging, hiking, cycling—anything that increases your heart rate while still allowing conversation. Aerobic movement may:

    • Support cardiovascular health

    • Increase oxygen to the heart and brain

    • Improve mood

    • Reduce insulin resistance

    • Boost energy

    Goal: 30–60 minutes per day, 5 days per week.

  • Strength training, sprints, high-intensity movement, and sports like tennis. Anaerobic work supports:

    • Muscle mass

    • Metabolic rate

    • Weight management

    • Hormone balance

    • Bone density

    Goal: 2–3 sessions per week.

  • Stretching, yoga, Pilates—anything that improves range of motion. Flexibility helps:

    • Prevent injuries

    • Improve posture

    • Reduce tension

    • Support emotional and nervous system regulation

  • Corrective exercises ensure muscles are firing evenly. Without muscle balance, you may experience pain, poor performance, or recurring injuries.

    Tools:

    • Chiropractic assessment

    • Physical therapy

    • Kinesio taping

    • Bodyweight exercises like the “Royal Court”: Hindu squats, Hindu push-ups, bridging

  • Coordination, balance, and spatial awareness improve brain function and slow aging. Examples:

    • Tai chi

    • Martial arts

    • Gymnastics or tumbling (kids)

    • Wobble board training

    Benefits:

    • Better balance

    • Enhanced athletic performance

    • Increased cognitive function

Signs You May Need an Exercise Reset

Lab Considerations

    • Oxygenation (pulse oximetry)

    • Resting heart rate & blood pressure

    • Posture assessment

    • Range-of-motion testing

    • Muscle imbalance evaluation (J-TECH when indicated)

    • Flexibility and kinesthetic screening

    • EKG

    • Body composition (water, muscle, fat analysis)

    • HRV for stress response

  • Testing helps us determine how exercise should be tailored:

    • CBC: oxygen-carrying capacity

    • Ferritin & iron: low iron limits exercise tolerance

    • Electrolytes: dehydration contributes to fatigue

    • Thyroid panel: controls metabolic rate

    • Cortisol pattern: helps determine training intensity

    • Heart health data

    • Muscle imbalances via mobility/strength assessment

    When we know your physiology, we know how to help you move safely and effectively.

The Exercise Plan

    • Daily walking (20–30 minutes)

    • Gentle mobility routine

    • Foundational stretching

    • Hydration + electrolytes

    • Aerobic progression to 45–60 minutes, 5 days/week

    • Resistance training 2x/week

    • Postural and muscle balance work

    • Performance-focused exercises

    • Kinesthetic refinement

    • Interval training (as appropriate)

    • Long-term habit scaffolding
