Which Nutrients are Best for Women?

2018-11-04T14:31:06-05:00

While all people need to focus on getting the right nutrients in their body, men and women can have some variances in what they need for their specific gender. For example, women need more calcium because they are at a greater risk of ending up with osteoporosis.

Men and women both need folic acid, but women need more of it during childbearing years and require an extra supplement for it. When it comes to men and women, they need most of the [...]

Did you know, the average American spends more than 9 hours a day staring at some type of screen?

Medication usage: Think twice

2018-10-24T14:56:29-04:00

Does our body need medication? Right off the bat this is an interesting and touchy subject - or is it? Every day new people come into my clinic, ask for my help, and are of 1 of 3 different mindsets: those who have always disliked taking medications and strive to do all things natural; those who don't mind medications but are tired of taking pills for their ills without long-term results; and those who have consistently taken medications, may have prescriptions constantly on the go, and are trying to mix in alternative methods. Who gets the best results?  Makes you wonder, [...]

The consequences of Poor Posture

2018-08-07T02:17:22-04:00

Poor Posture is everywhere... A few weeks before publishing this blog, I was interviewed on liquid lunch (link), having a follow-up conversation about poor posture – I had run out of time to dive into the more significant consequences, so some elements of this article are excerpts from here.  I had previously been interviewed in May 2018 after returning from Italy, and in a state of relaxing and incessant people watching, I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of poor postures in so many different categories of people – from millennials to seniors!  I've written about posture numerous times (in 2014 and a [...]

I touched on Carpal Tunnel syndrome a few years ago in this blog post. There are many things that can cause numbness and tingling in the hands or feet; both WebMD and Spine-Health discuss and share these similar details and findings.  Falling asleep on your arm or pinching the nerve in your leg from sitting too long cause temporary compression of the nerves, however the way most people live cause can cause a more permanent compression leading to serious nerve related conditions.  If you drive more than half an hour a day, sit at a computer, have old sporting injuries, car accidents or [...]

Back to Part 1 Part 2 - Disclaimer*** The author boldly shares about her mental health journey - it goes deep, it's personal, and the primary reason her identity is kept private.  Please enjoy her openness. Coping with Anxiety Being under regular chiropractic wellness care for the last 5 years, I like to think that I have a firm understanding of the different forms of stress (chemical-emotional-physical) and how they play a role in my overall health and well-being.
