New President Tom Zengler opened our first combination meeting. I was on Zoom and could not tell who gave the pledge or prayer. Dennis Kratohwil led us in the song “Celebrate”.

 

GUEST: Tom Gore

 

-Rich Babjak went camping in Wisconsin with some buddies. They recreated a trip from 30 years ago.

 

-Elliot Pinsel’s law practice has been “in the tank”. His wife is working at Amazon.

 

-President Zengler is starting his new year and Board meetings will be the second Tuesday at 5pm via Zoom.

-Golf outing 7/20 at Thunder hawk. See Rick Mittelman.

 

Ron Lapins asked us to relate a list of celebrities to John McDonald. Who is older?

 

Zoom issues were finally solved when the laptop was pointed at the speaker. Next week should be better. Our speaker was Dr. Ryan Glynn a chiropractor from Libertyville. Ryan has multiple degrees and specializes in sports medicine and functional neurology. He wants to enhance quality of life for people with injuries, MS and Parkinson’s.

 

The eyes are the windows to the brain. If you are having a bad day your eyes may have been overstimulated the day before. He helps people have a good day every day. He helped one swimmer improve his time by 4 seconds by improving his arm placement in the water. For golfers, he places a laser on the patients head. The eyes compensate for incorrect movements by connecting to 2 parts of the brain. Our world is based on what we see. He teaches eye movement independent of the head movement. People with traumatic brain injuries are automatically depressed because their eyes aren’t working properly.

 

Muscles have a big influence on the brain. The #3 cause of deaths in the U.S. is falls.

If you have nerve damage, work on the sensory system. Change reality to correct issues. He gave us 4 daily exercises: 1. Trace something with your finger. 2. Focusing on an object move your head yes, yes, no, no 120 times per minute. 3. Move an object and head

in sync. 4. Do gross movements with your arms in a figure 8.
