The Gut-Brain Connection: When Your Digestion Affects Your Mood

Ever wondered if your gut is affecting your mood?! Over 95% of the serotonin in your body comes from your gut. Could that be a place to look if you are feeling anxious, depressed, fatigued, or frustrated?!? Check out our latest blog post for more info.

Eat more fiber! One of the most important things you can do to improve your overall health is to increase your fiber intake, especially if weight loss is a goal.

"The average fiber intake of adults in the United States is less than half recommended levels and is lower still among those who follow currently popular low-carbohydrate diets, such as Atkins and South Beach. Increasing consumption of dietary fiber with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes across the life cycle is a critical step in stemming the epidemic of obesity found in developed countries." - Joanne L. Slavin Ph.D., R.D (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nut.2004.08.018)

Today, an awesome patient brought some freshly grown plums from her home to share with the patients in our office. They are sweet, juicy, and delicious! We have the best patients at our office! Hopefully, you have a chance to snag a couple today before they are all gone

Today, Dr. Chase Hayden was able to teach a workshop to some of Houston's best holistic practitioners. In attendance were other chiropractors, nutritionists, nurse practitioners, acupuncturists, and even biological dentists. He was able to share concepts regarding clinical nutrition, neurological applications, and the importance of manual muscle testing when helping patients. The class was sponsored by and everyone appeared to have a great time while sharing clinical insights with each other.

Today, we received a surprise visit from one of our favorite people! Ms. came into town for the weekend, and stopped by the office to say hi. We miss her a lot around the office, but are proud of her new adventure and dedication to her studies. It was a great surprise!

Today, we had an official "Welcome to the Office" for Jessica. We had a great time, and we were able to introduce her to authentic tacos al pastor. Between the tacos and our southern charm, we are going to try and convince her to stay with us after she finishes her internship in our office. We are glad that Dr. Amber was able to be in town for the occasion.

Save the date! As many of you know, Dr. Amber Horsley relocated to Illinois with her husband and 2 precious children in 2023. Over the last year, she has been commuting to our office once per month in order to maintain patient care, follow up with friends, and continue the amazing work she has been doing in our office since 2018. You are invited to join us as we honor Dr. Horsley and say our final goodbyes on June 21 from 6:00-7:30pm at our office.

(If you are looking to schedule with Dr. Horsley for chiropractic, nutrition, or acupuncture appointments, she will be in the office on 4/11-12, 5/16-17, and 6/20-21.)

Congratulations to Emesha for her victory in this year's March Madness bracket challenge at the office. "The Hayden Institute Bracket of Shame and Humiliation" was fraught with twists and turns as we cheered on our unknown heroes from afar. With this conquest, not only does Emesha get dessert at our next office meeting, but she also has permission to gloat over everyone else in the office regarding her masterful bracket picking skills until next year's tournament.

Jessica, our new chiropractic intern is crushing it at the office. Her knowledge of clinical nutrition is on point, and we have had some great discussions on patient management regarding nutritional concerns. Some patients do not realize that chiropractors can also use instruments to assist with adjusting and mobilizing the joints of the body. This low force option is great for people who don't like the feel (or sound) of a traditional chiropractic adjustment or for individuals with delicate bones, such as infants.

Thanks to the awesome patient for letting us take this picture!

Tonight Dr. Chase presented to other Houston area doctors regarding Blood Sugar and Metabioic Dysfunction in an event sponsored by Standard Process. Metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), type 2 diabetes, weight management, and cardiovascular disease were a few of the conditions that were discussed, as well as the dietary modifications, supplemental and herbal approaches to support these imbalances. It is amazing how radically the body can improve when it is given the correct nutrients.

(Sorry for the grainy picture.. it was the only one we had from the night!) 🥹🫣😔

Please join us in welcoming (future doctor) Jessica to the office family! Jessica is from Columbus, Ohio. She has a masters in clinical nutrition and is only a few short months from graduating from Life University with a Doctorate in Chiropractic! Not only is she a brilliant nutritionist and soon to be chiropractor, but she is also completing advanced certifications in acupuncture! She loves dogs, cooking, and playing golf to stay active. We are super excited to have her join our office as she completes her internship (residency) over the next 6 months. Hopefully, we can all turn up the Southern charm and convince her to stay with us after graduation. 🤞 🤞🤞

First full day in the new office! 🤩😍😁 The patients who saw it in real life said they loved the decorations and layout. We are working out the kinks since the flow between each area is a little different than the old place, but we are super excited about the potential. The excitement isn't over. Tomorrow, we have a big announcement... !

Today, we moved into the new office! Liz and Stephanie oversaw the small army of movers throughout the day and put in a ton of work. The new office looks great, and we can't wait for you to see it. We are located at the same address as before, but on the opposite side of the building. The long wait was worth it, and we are excited for the growth we are experiencing thanks to patients like you!

Liz saved the day again by clearing up some minor hiccups with our lease renewal. Over the last two weeks, there have been a lot of back and forth between the leasing agency for our building and our office, but Liz single-handedly took charge and resolved the issues. To celebrate we went and had tacos al pastor (street tacos for the gringos) over lunch. She is the stabilizing force at the office that keeps the wheels turning. New office space starting in April!

Yesterday we were able to celebrate Nicole's birthday at one of our office's favorite restaurants. Nicole does a ton of work behind the scenes at the office, from managing the insurance claims, interacting with insurance companies, and coordinating with attorneys. She's an awesome member of our team, and we were glad to share her birthday with her. The world famous Meagan even made a guest appearance from Utah.

Office memo to be distributed to all doctors and staff today. Happy MLB Opening Day. Go Astros!

Today Dr. Amber Horsley crushed it 💪 at the Spartan Race! 25 bone breaking obstacles spread out over a 10K race couldn't stop her or her two children from cheering her on. Our bodies are amazing creations that are capable of hard things. Prioritizing healthy habits through diet, physical activity, and wellness care helps us to express our optimal selves. Be awesome this week! 🫡

Taking a few pictures in order to update the website and having a lot of fun in the office between patients! Next week is spring break, so office hours will be limited. Let us know if you need anything before then 😀

Dr. Amber Horsley has been an official member of our office since January 2018. After graduating valedictorian of her class and becoming certified in acupuncture, she then completed her diplomate in clinical nutrition. Over the last 6 years, she has helped many patients with her vast knowledge and caring disposition.

Unfortunately, life is taking her in another direction, and even though she has traveled from Illinois to Texas 1x/month over the last year or so, her time at our office is drawing to a close.

Dr. Horsley will be in the office on the following days before transferring full time to her new location in Dubuque:

March 7/8
April 11/12
May 16/17
June 20/21*

* There will be a farewell party to celebrate Dr. Horsley's time in our office in June. Details TBD.

One of the best parts of our office meetings meetings is the food! This month's location was where they have a large variety of fresh, organic, gluten-friendly options (or gluten-full options if that's your things). Our office manager, Liz, is a rock star with organizing the meeting agenda, keeping us all on track, and finding healthy locations to eat.

From a one-person operation to a team of seven, we're proud to serve our community!

In 2009, I embarked on this journey after being inspired by a doctor who practiced similarly to how I do today. Fueled by a passion for functional medicine, clinical nutrition, applied kinesiology, and chiropractic care, I knew at the young age of 12 that this was my calling. Over the years, I've been fortunate to have incredible people join our team, and together, we've grown this practice from the ground up.

We're dedicated to providing our patients with the tools and knowledge they need to achieve optimal health and well-being. Whether you're looking for answers to your health questions or a supportive network of healthcare professionals, we're here for you.

We're also passionate about serving our local community, and we look forward to connecting with you!

Super grateful for these ladies in my life. They are a huge help in the office and make it possible for us to "have your back." Happy Halloween from our office.

;)

Thanks everyone for the great reviews that you leave for our office on places like Facebook, Google Maps, and Yelp! We received this announcement from Yelp today in the mail as a result of the kind words you share. Thanks again!
