Alzheimer's is being called "Diabetes Type 3" in some circles. Eating a diet that doesn't spike your blood glucose levels is essential in preventing Alzheimer's.

Some helpful "hacks" to stabilize blood sugar. Eat vegies first when you can. Eat a savory (not sweet) breakfast. Take 1 T of vinegar before at least one meal a day...either on your vegies or mixed in a glass of water (use straw to drink). Take a 10 minute walk (or other form of exercise) after at least one meal a day.

(Hacks from Glucose Revolution by Jesse Inschauspe)

Yes it does...and patients avoid healthcare because of it.

Some doctors are ditching the scale, saying focusing on weight drives misdiagnoses A growing number of doctors have stopped recommending weight loss when they see patients, arguing that it can be counterproductive.

Anyone who is noticing weight gain around the middle probably has some difficulty with metabolizing carbohydrates. The glucose spikes related to eating high glycemic index foods leads to insulin spikes as well. These insulin spikes are responsible for the spare tire many people acquire as they age. This can lead to an inflammatory condition know as "Metabolic Syndrome". Jesse Inchuspe (a biochemist), the author of "Glucose Revolution - The life changing power of balancing your blood sugar", has several "hacks" she discovered while wearing an early continuous glucose monitor. FYI, the final hack, drinking vinegar, can also be done by eating vegies sprinkled with vinegar or with a vinaigrette before eating. The acv gummies don't work as well as regular vinegar. Vinegar bothers some people. You can still see benefits without using it. Oh, and use a straw if you drink it in water.

Advanced CranioSacral Therapy often addresses issues that are controlled by the primitive, reptilian part of our brains. This part of the brain is concerned primarily with safety and avoiding harm. Your primitive brain may decide to keep you "safe" in situations where your primate brain knows it is illogical. Hence, you might have phobias, irrational fears, PTSD, etc. Talk therapy can have limited improvement for some of these issues. In essence the "lizard" doesn't care what the "monkey" has to say. He is going to keep us safe no matter what. Advanced CranioSacral Therapy bypasses the primate and mammalian brain and facilitates the primitive brain to reset at a more functional level.

Dealing with lower back pain in pregnancy? It could be the stretching of your ligaments and muscles. However, if you're dealing with radiating pain that spreads down your leg or buttock, it could be sciatica.

Sciatica occurs with abnormal nerve signaling or compression, both of which can happen in pregnancy.

Chiropractic care is a noninvasive way to address your symptoms at the root cause. Seek care today.
