Announcements & Resources

April 1, 2025Benefits of Gardening It’s gardening season and whether you are planting a vegetable garden, fruit bushes and trees, or a butterfly garden, gardening has health benefits that you might not know of.  Better Diet If you are planting a vegetable or fruit garden, then this might be obvious to you. Fruits and vegetables are essential to our body as they provide vitamins and minerals that help our bodies to function. Not to mention the delicious cooking and baking flavors we can add to our meals once our garden grows! Exercise Up and down, up and down. That’s what we do when we garden. We bend over, squat, carry bags of mulch or shovel mulch, dig into the ground using our biceps, and much more! Gardening helps us to exercise in ways we didn’t realize we were. Even if you have a raised garden bed, you are still walking back and forth from your garage or shed to get your next plant.  Disconnecting and Reconnecting Anyone else love getting away from their electronics when you garden? We do! We put on our garden gloves and ignore our phones. (Don’t want to get our phones dirty with those gloves on.) Spending time away from electronics helps to clear our brain from noise. Reconnecting with nature through gardening helps us to release stress, enjoy the sounds of nature, breath in fresh air, and get some Vitamin D from those sun rays! Are you Vitamin D deficient? Learn about our Vitamin D supplement! Outdoor Gardens Might be to Much for Some If you aren’t able to have an outdoor garden, consider indoor gardening. Consider using a Tower Garden! Easily grow your own produce year-round with our vertical, aeroponic growing system! Have your own clean, fresh foods with no pesticides or herbicides and drastically cut your grocery budget by supplementing your own vegetables, fruits and herbs from your tower. This self-watering system allows plants to grow 3x faster with 30% more yield. No soil and no weeding means that this garden is much less time-consuming than traditional gardens and it takes up less than 5 square feet of space!

March 31, 2025Ways to Celebrate Earth Day Yes, every year we celebrate Earth Day, but really, Earth Day is every day. It’s easy to take daily things for granted like the land we live on and the air we breath; both of which is our Earth. We need to be thankful for the things we take for granted. Here’s your reminder to thank mother Earth, and here are a few ways to celebrate our Earth. Plant a Tree This is probably the most obvious one because everyone suggests it. But, did you know that the air we breath comes from trees? No trees, no air, no breathing. The more trees we have, the more fresh air we breath. Pick a Road and Pick up Litter No one likes to see litter, especially in the areas they live in. Take a minute and think about the last time you drove past an area and said, “Eww. Look at that trash.” Get a few people together and spend an hour or two cleaning up that litter. Your lungs, the animals that live in that area, and our eyesight will thank us for this. Plant a Garden How about some fresh fruit or vegetables from your own backyard? The dirt and soil in our yards is just sitting there. Why not save some money this year and grow your own tomatoes? Or better yet, plant an apple tree for fresh apples and fresh oxygen. Apartment renter? Plant a single plant in a pot and stick it outside. Gardens don’t need to be big. They can be whatever you want. Go a step further and get a group of friends or neighbors together and plant a community garden where your whole community or neighborhood could enjoy together. Everyone can pitch in and help make the neighborhood garden the best garden in the area. Plant a Butterfly Garden Insects are dwindling the more housing complexes go in. Insects are good for pollination, nutrient cycling, pest control, and are good food sources for other animals. Planting a Butterfly Garden encourages good habitats for insects to live in or near by. Plus, Butterfly Gardens will bring beautiful butterflies, humming birds, and bumble bees. (Note: bumble bees do not have stingers.) Remember our point above in the “Plant a Garden” section where we talk about neighborhood gardens? Why not have a neighborhood Butterfly Garden? Recycle  We can’t stress this one enough. Recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste that is in landfills. Picture it: When you toss something in the trash can, the trash gets picked up by trash trucks, and is relocated to large areas of land. That land is now covered in just trash. Piles and piles of trash. Wouldn’t it be nice if that land was a butterfly garden instead? Recycling helps to reduce the amount of trash that sits on that land. Whether you used to recycle or have never recycled, start small this month and commit to recycling all plastic items instead of throwing them away. Next month, add to that: plastic and paper. Continue this pattern and before long, you’ll be cutting your trash down to one bag a week! Talk about saving money on trash bags. Request an Appointment [...] Read more...
March 31, 2025Spring Allergies and How to Cope It’s spring time and we all know what that means. POLLEN! We have a few ways that might help you get outside and enjoy the sunlight without feeling the effects of seasonal allergies. Once a Week Salt Room Session To maximize the benefits of a salt session, we recommend using our Salt Room once a week while allergy symptoms occur. Salt acts like a sponge, attracting foreign substances along its path out of the respiratory tract. Inhaled salt reduces inflammation, opens up airway passages, and eliminates foreign objects, leading to an improved immune system and increased oxygen flow. Schedule a session. Natural D-Hist Supplment Taking a Natural D-Hist supplement daily while symptoms occur may also help with allergy relief.  Natural D-Hist benefits include:  Helps with seasonal allergies Naturally anti-inflammatory Decreases histamine response Supports sinus and respiratory health You may pick up this supplement from our front desk. Adjusting Your Spine Have you had a chiropractic adjustment lately? Adjusting your spine through chiropractic services helps to release toxins that hold onto allergens inside your body. Having an adjustment might be just what you need when allergies flair up. Schedule an appointment.  Request an Appointment [...] Read more...
February 24, 2025Get Summer Time Healthy Memorial Day is just weeks away and we want to help you feel your best for the summer. We have ways for you to become your healthiest self as well as services to help support and maintain those efforts. If you sign up for our online nutritional courses in early March, you’ll complete the course before Memorial Day! Read our tips on how to get summer time healthy below. Clear Your Mind Clearing your mind needs to come first. Without clearing your mind, you won’t be able to clearly make the important healthy choices of deciding which foods to eat or whether you should put your sneakers on and go for a walk. Practicing meditation, prayer, or just sitting in silence for 5 minutes with your eyes closed helps us to clear our busy minds of distractions and focus on what is truly important to us, like our health and our health goals. Lose Weight and Reduce Inflammation with these Online Nutritional Courses The best way to get a summer-ready body is to eat a healthy diet. Losing weight and getting healthy begins with the foods you put into your body. If your diet is just cakes and cookies, chips and white flour products, you aren’t providing your body with the essential nutrients it needs to function at its best. But, if you fuel your body with vegetables, fruits, proteins and healthy fats, your body will have the tools it needs to truly thrive and you will be able to live a healthier, more active life. Whole30 Online Healthy Eating Program See how much your health can improve in just 30 days simply by changing the foods you put on your plate in this Whole30 program!   No weighing or measuring or counting calories – eat as much as you want of the nutritious, real foods that will rejuvenate your body throughout the program.   Get weekly online videos from Dr. Fawn to guide you through your journey and also weekly one-on-one check-ins with her for accountability.

Get 20 Minutes of Exercise Each Day It is recommended to get 150 minutes of exercise each week, which ends up being 21 minutes of exercise per day. Stretching for 21 minutes a day or going for a 21-minute walk will help you become more mobile and build your stamina.  It’s important to remember that exercise builds endurance and strength while nutrition fuels and heals the body and helps to rid the body of excess weight and toxins. Most weight loss happens in the kitchen, but exercise is a very important part of any health journey as well! The more you exercise the stronger and healthier your body will become!  Request an Appointment [...] Read more...
