🌟 Gentle Chiropractic Care for Little Ones! 🌟

When it comes to our littlest patients, it's important to understand that a chiropractic adjustment for a baby is quite different from that of an adult. Our approach is specialized, gentle, and tailored to the unique needs of their developing bodies.

Unlike adjustments for adults, which may involve manual techniques and joint manipulation, chiropractic care for babies and kids primarily focuses on gentle, non-invasive methods. This ensures the comfort and safety of your child throughout the entire process. 👶

⛱🎆 Kids Summer Special 🎆⛱

Parents, are your children taking a break from activities this summer?

Summer is often a great time to allow for rest and healing.

When the summer comes around, children have more down time and can take a break from the demanding activities that can put strain on their bodies throughout the school year. That is where Chiropractic Care comes in - while the body is resting, we can assess, adjust and re-align their body and help heal areas that may have been stressed with the many hours of training.

Let’s help them now, so they are ready for next season!

💥At Optimum Family we are offering for *New* Patients (ages 5-15 years old) $50.00 off their First Visit! ⭐ONLY $75.00 for July & August⭐ (regular price $125.00)💥

**when booking online, please put ACTIVEKIDS in the notes part of the appointment so we know that you saw the email!

WHY YOU NEED TO WORK WITH A NUTRITIONIST

Book your FREE DISCOVERY CALL 📱 with Alice to learn more here: https://optimumfamily.janeapp.com/

Partnering with a nutritionist can be a transformative step in this process. Here are compelling reasons why individuals should consider working with a nutritionist:

Personalized Guidance: One size does not fit all when it comes to nutrition. A nutritionist evaluates your unique health profile, considering factors like age, medical history, lifestyle, and dietary preferences. This personalized approach ensures that the guidance you receive is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals.

Expert Knowledge: Nutritionists undergo extensive training and education in the science of food and its impact on the body. Their expertise enables them to decipher nutritional information, debunk myths, and provide evidence-based advice. This professional knowledge is a valuable resource in navigating the often confusing landscape of dietary recommendations.

Goal-Oriented Planning: Whether your aim is weight management, improved athletic performance, or addressing specific health concerns, a nutritionist helps you set realistic and achievable goals. They create structured meal plans that align with your objectives, fostering long-term success.

Behavioral Change Support: Changing dietary habits can be challenging, and a nutritionist serves as a supportive guide in this process. They offer strategies to overcome obstacles, address emotional eating, and foster a positive relationship with food. This holistic approach contributes to sustainable lifestyle changes.

Nutrient Optimization: Beyond calorie counting, a nutritionist focuses on optimizing nutrient intake. They educate clients on the importance of various vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients, ensuring a well-rounded and balanced diet that supports overall health.

Working with a nutritionist is an investment in your health that goes beyond quick fixes or fad diets.

Sleep by Alice, our Clinical Nutritionist .on.earth

Have you been struggling with sleep? Perhaps getting the right amount or good quality sleep? Wondering why you need sleep at all when you feel tired in the morning anyway?

Sleep affects every cellular process in the body and arguably the most important aspect of health.

A lot happens when you sleep, including the support of both innate and adaptive immunity. Because the body isn't active during sleep, the body takes this opportunity to create inflammatory responses by increasing the production of cytokines associated with inflammation. As a result, it helps the body repair any inflammation from toxins/stress/wounds, fight off infections, and recovery from stress such as physical exercise or mental trauma. Did you know that sleep interrupts your insulin sensitivity, pituitary and thyroid function, leading to stubborn weight loss or weight gain?

So how much should you sleep?

Most studies in the literature have found less than six hours to be detrimental. This is probably because most people have sleep efficiency between 30 - 50%. Meaning if you sleep six hours and you have 50% sleep efficiency, three of those six hours are in deep and rem sleep. You need minimum 1.5hr of each to recover adequately and feel good in the morning. For people with less efficiency, 7 - 9 hours is recommended.

I use the to measure my sleep quality, but there are other wearables out there including Fitbit and the Apple Watch that can measure your sleep quality and efficiency.

With spring as the Sun stays longer with us, this is the perfect time to balance your circadian rhythm and restore sleep!

If you suffer from sleep deprivation and poor sleep, please send me a DM. Key to healthy sleep is healthy circadian rhythm. Through proper light exposure, whole foods (at the right times), right nutrients (such as magnesium, Vitamin B5) and maybe even adaptogenic and sedative herbs short-term, we can optimize your sleep for the betterment of your health overall.

Let's Talk About: Lymphatic Drainage

This treatment aims to enhance the body’s natural lymphatic flow, supporting detoxification and immune function. Using very light, rhythmic strokes, it helps in managing conditions like whiplash, headaches, migraines, digestive issues and more.

Additionally, it is beneficial in preparing the body for optimal recovery pre-surgery by reducing inflammation and promoting healing. This gentle approach promotes overall well-being and is ideal for those looking to improve their health and alleviate specific symptoms, all within a holistic care framework.
