When Everything Gets More Expensive, Your Health Becomes Even More Valuable

Apr 11, 2025

Let’s be real—prices are up. Again.

Thanks to the latest round of trade tariffs, it seems like everything from groceries to household essentials is getting more expensive. And when that happens, even people with solid incomes and good financial habits (like many of my patients) start getting nervous about spending.

And what’s one of the first places people tend to pull back?

Their health.

But here’s the thing no one talks about:
Being healthy is a lot cheaper than being sick.

In Good Times and Bad, Health Is the Best Investment

When the economy is booming and you’re building wealth, you want to actually enjoy the life you’re creating. That vacation, that new hobby, that time with your family—you can’t fully enjoy it if you’re tired, in pain, foggy, or always one step away from a flare-up.

And when the economy is down, the stakes are even higher.Because if you lose your health when times are tough, it’s not just about comfort—it’s about survival.

Chronic illness is expensive.

Physically. Financially. Emotionally.

And most of the time, it doesn’t show up overnight—it builds slowly, quietly, while we’re “putting off” the things we know we should be doing to stay well.

The Hard Truth: Symptoms Are Expensive. Prevention Pays Off.

I’m not here to sell you fear. I’m here to offer a better perspective.

Taking care of your nervous system, your sleep, your nutrition, your stress—it’s not a luxury. It’s not an indulgence. It’s a long-term strategy to protect the life you’ve worked hard to build.

The services we offer—from upper cervical care to SoftWave therapy to nutritional guidance—aren’t just for “when you’re falling apart.” They’re for keeping you out of that situation in the first place.

The world may feel uncertain right now.

But the value of feeling good in your body, having clear energy, sleeping well, and waking up pain-free?

That doesn’t change—regardless of what’s going on in Washington or Wall Street.

You Are the Asset

So here’s your reminder: you are your best investment.

If you’re someone who’s been second-guessing whether now’s the right time to put yourself first, I get it. But what we often forget is that investing in your health isn’t an expense—it’s protection. It’s insurance against a future you don’t want to experience.

No matter what the economy is doing, your body still needs the same things:

  • A well-functioning nervous system
  • Quality sleep
  • Real food
  • Movement
  • Low stress
  • And the support to keep it all working

That’s the recipe. That’s the plan.

And no tariff can make that any less true.
