Defense

 Hi Natural Health Family. I hope everyone is doing well. So we are wrapping up Chiropractic month this October. I think we can all agree that society and the life around us has changed substantially in the last couple of years. It seems like we are in a world where many people are becoming more aware of different aspects in life and how we view health, economics, technology, education, politics, etc. has started to make shifts. It appears that we are resonating more with the understanding that our health is our responsibility and to be informed as much as we can individually. When there are so many difference of opinions and the statistics showing the decline of our health as a nation we have to look at why this could be the case in the first place. We are more powerful than we know and it is up to us to work together to help us realize our own potential for health. 

Have you ever heard “the best defense is a good offense?” Think about the best sports teams in the world if you would or perhaps the strongest empires back in the day. Many of the greatest in most instances had a solid defense. So even if their offense was good or great they would be able to outdo their opponent. So why do I bring this up? Chiropractic focuses on how we can better help the body heal. When the body has a strong healthy defense it is able to adapt to all life throws at it. This is different than attacking the “bugs” or the stress in the environment to keep us doing well. When we have a strong healthy balanced body then it is able to stay healthy. So it comes down to whether or not we want to always be on the alert to attack the issues on the outside or fortify ourselves so that we are able to withstand any storm that we may face in the future.    


It is important to have a strong defense. When we are able to control how we spend our energy then we can keep ourselves healthy. Not spending our energy on things we can’t control but on what we can. Life may not always be smooth sailing, but that doesn't mean that we have to let it affect us and throw us off our course to our destination. So when the waves become daunting don’t focus on how it may flip your ship but rather how you can stay focused on where you are heading. Be well everyone.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
