😴A good night's sleep is imperative to the growth of our children, both mentally and physically.

🌙For some kids, bedtime can seem like an endless cycle of frustration, restlessness, and tears. This is almost always followed by a difficult morning, as well.

💤If you can relate, and even if you can't, try these tips for good sleep, and see if you notice a difference in the behavior and overall wellness of your own kiddo!

🌝Happy sleeping!

⁣Inflammation could be the reason you're holding on to those last 10 pounds. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀....I’m not exaggerating either!⠀
⠀⠀
Inflammation stalls fat loss and creates weight loss resistance in many ways, including insulin resistance, low energy, fluid retention, and digestive problems. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Now, don't get me wrong, inflammation isn’t ALWAYS bad. In fact, it's a necessary by-product of any intense immune response, rushing a cascade of healing and protective chemicals to the site to help your system heal.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Think about cutting your finger. Your body immediately goes into action to seal up that wound and initiates healing. Which is called “acute inflammation.”⠀⠀
⠀⠀
BUT… inflammation should do its job and then leave. ⠀
⠀
When it sticks around longer than needed to heal an injury or infection – big problems can result - including weight regain or being unable to lose fat (even if you're doing everything seemingly right!)⠀
⠀⠀
If you suspect inflammation is stalling your fat loss efforts here are a few tips on how to dial that inflammation down ⬇⠀
⠀⠀
Addressing what’s at the end of your fork plays a HUGE ROLE since inflammation occurs when a highly reactive food triggers an immune reaction, and your digestive tract becomes inflamed.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Eating dairy, gluten, and other highly reactive foods means you’re likely to suffer from chronic low-grade inflammation, with all its resulting problems. A high-sugar impact diet can also cause chronic inflammation, as well as the inflammatory fats and oils that permeate the standard American diet.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If your goal is to be the best fat burner, be metabolically flexible, and create amazing overall health, reducing inflammation is 🔑⠀
⠀⠀
Check out the list of foods that have been known to dial down inflammation (outlined above). And for a deep dive into why you should add these to the menu, check out the link below bio to read my blog post.⠀

We are going to delay opening until 12pm today, Thursday January 20th due to inclement weather. We will let you know if anything changes. Stay warm and safe out there!

"To everyone who thinks chiropractic is about headaches and low back pain- it’s so much more than that.

Chiropractic restores and maintains the neural communication pathways between the brain and the body so the body has the ability to self-heal. When there is a breakdown in that communication, dis-ease occurs in the cell/tissue/organ supplied by that neural energy. Breakdown of physical matter leads to dis-ease, of which pain is a symptom.

It is similar thinking to that of a garden hose— when there is a “kink” in the hose, water can’t get from point A to point B and the flowers never get watered. When your brain and body fail to have proper communication, the tissue supplied by that affected nerve begins to die and manifestation of dis-ease sets in.

Chiropractic has nothing to do with cracking backs and everything to do with the maintenance of a homeostatic environment that promotes health and fights sickness. Pain relief is also a proven benefit of being under care, but not the sole intent of an adjustment.

We don’t take credit for the healing, but rather allow your body to achieve an internal environment where it can heal itself. Do you have to ask or direct your skin to heal a cut? There is an innate intelligence inside all of us that strives to be alive and well- the body is an amazing thing capable of self-healing when the circumstance allows it.

Don’t get swept up in the medical paradigm of chasing symptoms- you don’t want to treat symptoms anyway, you want to fix the problem. Chiropractors are skilled at finding the root cause of dis-ease so that you get back to true health and avoid drugs, surgeries, and other unnecessary interventions.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Sounds about right 👌"
-Kayci Cleveland Obarr

We will be closing early today at 3pm due to the expected snow. Stay warm and safe out there. Hope to open tomorrow as usual, but you'll be contacted if something changes :)
