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.

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!

February 24, 2025It’s Time to Spring Clean Your Body
As the snow melts and the sun shines brighter, we are reminded that renewal is on the horizon. We un-zip those heavy jackets, open our lungs, and take a deep breath. In through our nose, out through our mouth. Fresh air! Just as we spring clean our homes, we also need to spring clean our bodies. Wash the outside, cleanse the inside. Here are a few ways you can spring clean your body.
Clean Your Nose
Did you have a hard time taking a deep breath in the section above? Did you feel your nose wasn’t the clearest? Try doing a saline nasal flush once a week to help keep your sinus clear of debris, dust, and dirt. Go a step further and spend 30 minutes in our Salt Room. 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. It’s like cleaning your body’s air filter!
Clean Your Inside
Another way to ‘flush’ your insides is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day. Think about spring time and pollen. We feel our allergies flaring up and just can’t wait for a good rainstorm to wash away the pollen from the trees. Our insides are the same way. Maybe we ate a bit unhealthy one day or overloaded on carbs. We just want something to wash away those heavy feelings. Water can do that for you, but only if you drink enough to wash away those toxins.
Need an even deeper cleanse to your system other than just flushing it out with water? Try our healthy eating online program, Whole30, or our online weight loss program, ChiroThin, and see how you could feel better in just 5-6 weeks. Learn more about our Nutritional Services.
Clean Your Mind
As we slowly transition from cabin fever to adjusting our eyes to seeing the sun, we need to remember to clear out the cobwebs in our minds. To do this, we recommend getting outside, in nature, and soak in some Vitamin D from the sunlight. Breathing in fresh air from the outside helps our minds to get away from distractions and stressors that prevent our body from healing. Vitamin D from the sunlight builds strong bones and muscles and helps to keep our immune systems in tip top shape.
Clean the Noise
Okay. This one sounds a little funny, but what we mean by ‘noise’ in this blog is technology. So much of what we do today revolves around technology. We go from being on our phones first thing in the morning to working on our computers for work to watching television in the evenings and we don’t really give our eyes or our minds a break. Eye health is an essential component to our every day lives and we often forget to take care of them. If you must look at screens for a large part of the day, consider using blue light glasses to protect your eyes.
Not only will taking breaks from technology help to preserve our eyes, but it will also help us to disconnect from the “noise” in the world that causes mental stress. Set limits for when and how long you are using technology each day and see how much it can positively impact your health and well being.

February 8, 2025“I’m new to taking care of myself. How do I start?”
We all need help from time to time. It’s okay to ask for help and admit that you need help because you aren’t alone. Many people we’ve spoken with say that they are good at taking care of others but when it comes to themself, they don’t know where to start. We have a few ways to help you get on track.
STEP 1: Breathe
First, close your eyes and take three deep breaths. We’ll be here when you open your eyes.
STEP 2: Identify Problem Spots
Next, think about how you feel.
Does your body hurt? If so, what parts? Write down what areas of your body hurt.
If not your body, do you feel as if you experience brain fog often? Hard to concentrate or focus?
STEP 3: Try a Service
Now that you’ve identified a few areas that need some work, let’s figure out how to fix some of those issues. Of course, depending on your issue will depend on the recommendation we have for you. Start by scrolling through these pictures, matching your issue to the service we have that could help. Make an appointment for the service and see if that service helps your problem spot.
We also have one-on-one consultations to help guide you to becoming your healthiest you. Schedule an appointment with our Health and Wellness Advocate and she’ll listen to your concerns and provide the best recommendations to help you.
STEP 4: Evaluate
After you’ve tried a service a few times, decide if it’s working for you. You may need to try a service a few times before it helps your issue or you may need to try a different service we have depending on how in-depth your issue may be.
STEP 5: Be Your Healthiest
Our hope for you is that you are feeling your best after you leave our office. We want to help you be your healthiest you and our goal is to provide services that will help you be the happiest!
