Welcome to my blog.
While pursuing my chiropractic degree I recognized a need for education, I first recognized this need in myself. I was constantly amazed at the potential of our bodies and become passionate about sharing that with others. This led me to become more aware of the impact that external factors have on our function. If you are looking to make sustainable changes to your lifestyle to work towards a healthier you, you’ve come to the right place.
What’s poppin’?
“What’s that popping sound when you adjust me?” you ask. It’s gas (usually)! Specifically, gas bubbles located inside a synovial joint. This popping sound you hear is sometimes called cavitation and sometimes called tribonucleation. Both terms refer to the formation of gas bubbles within a liquid, but differ after that.
It Starts at Home
Great! So you’ve evaluated the products you put on your skin, now it’s time to look at the rest of your home. The biggest source of chemicals in your home can be found under your kitchen sink (or wherever you keep your cleaning supplies).
It Is That Deep
Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body? Well, now you do. Just like the other organs in your body has very important functions: protection, absorption, secretion, excretion, regulation and sensation. What steps are you taking to care for your largest organ?
“What are supplements?”
I’m so glad you asked! There is a wide variety of supplements on the market today with new products being produced daily. Dietary supplements are meant to be just that, a supplement to your diet. They can be vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc. To get the most out of your supplements you must first have a well-rounded diet that meets your energy and macronutrient requirements. You cannot out-supplement a poor diet.
“Have you tried chiropractic?”
One of the foundational principles of chiropractic is: The nervous system controls and regulates all other body systems. When we stimulate certain areas of the nervous system that innervate other body systems, we may see improvement in function of that system.
