✨Your Brain on Chiropractic✨
Did you know that when the C1 vertebra (atlas) is adjusted, studies have shown the prefrontal cortex lights up on an EEG? 🔥

Why does this matter? The prefrontal cortex is the control center for focus, decision-making, and emotional regulation. When nerve interference at the top of your spine is cleared, your brain can function at its best.

Your adjustment isn’t just about pain relief—it’s about optimising your brain and body connection.

📍 Have you had your nervous system checked lately?

Did you know? The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve, starting at the brainstem just above the C1 vertebra in your neck.
It’s like a master network, connecting your brain to nearly every major organ—heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, and more. It plays a huge role in regulating digestion, heart rate, mood, and even inflammation. Want to give it a boost?

Try deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing, humming, singing, or even splashing cold water on your face—these simple practices can stimulate the vagus nerve, helping you feel calmer, improve digestion, and support overall well-being! 🧠✨

💤 Sleep is more than just rest—it’s when our bodies heal and recharge!

During sleep, your immune system strengthens, muscles repair, and your brain processes the day. Aim for 7-9 hours nightly to boost your health.

Is that heartburn medication impacting more than just your stomach? Long-term use of PPIs *might* affect mineral absorption and bone density. It's important to have blood tests done! "Your body will actually leach calcium out of the bone."

🍋 First harvest from my lemon tree! 🍋

This is the very first fruit from the lemon tree at my new place. It had a heavy prune when I moved in, and now it’s finally producing! I’m not sure what variety this is — it’s got a thick rind, not much juice, and just a small amount of fruit inside… but it tastes amazing!

Any lemon experts out there? What do you think this type is best used for? Marmalade? Zest? Preserves?
