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
