Avoid identity theft and extra stress during tax season with these helpful tips from a professional who has dealt with both.

By Dr. Thomas Polucki

Identity theft of your personal information can turn your life upside down, and send your stress level into the stratosphere.

I spent the last holiday season without a credit card, unable to pay my business vendors and more stressed out than I’d like to admit.

I have a whole new understanding for when people act overly cautious when sharing their personal information; in fact, I now recommend extreme caution.

And now that we’re in tax season, it’s prime time for identity thieves!

More accessible than any other time of the year, all the information thieves need to steal your identity is conveniently organized during tax season.

In healthcare, your information is protected by federal law.

Healthcare providers are well trained in protecting your sensitive information and there are serious fines for mishandling protected information.

However…

Tax return kiosks in big-box retail stores and busy tax return operations without private offices should concern you because you can’t be certain someone isn’t listening or adding your information to some sketchy database.

Tax time is stressful enough without having to worry about someone stealing your identity.

Drug-Free Stress Relief

Stress affects everyone differently, whether it’s tax season or not.

I used to get headaches from stress — migraines, too.

I’d get some form of headache every day and chew a couple Excedrins to kill the pain.

I finally developed an ulcer and food sensitivities from self-treating the headache pain.

Then I went to my doctor and needed prescription medication to deal with complications from treating my headaches.

Only after an Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustment did I find permanent relief from my life-long headache problem.

You don’t need to endlessly treat the symptoms of stress with the promise of temporary relief and increasing side-effects.

I offer a free series of four one-hour classes, where you can learn 25 years of insider information on handling stress.

The nutrition class, while focusing on weight loss, shows you how to know if the foods you eat and the
supplements you take are helping or hurting you.

The foam rolling class, teaches you how to reduce physical stress and tension in all the muscles of your body with a five-minute home therapy.

The exercise class shows you how to recharge of a whole day of stress damage in just 20 minutes, supercharging the rest of your day or night.

The learn basic acupressure class is designed for a couple to spend some quality time together, melting each other’s stress and tension in about five minutes.

We limit our class sizes to eight people, so call 661-753-9340 now to save the next available seat.

And if you’re ready to stop taking more and more pills, and feel better, fill out my confidential online survey to see if you qualify for a free consultation.
