Easy to make healthy gelatin gummies. Takes less than 7 minutes. Tasty. Cleaning the pot... a pain in the butt unless you follow the steps lol

Pro Tip:

What you feed your brain and body is how your brain and body will heal and perform!!!

Having healthy snacks ready to go... ensures you will make better choices when you are STARVING lol

Make sure to read the captions under the pictures for tips and tricks making these.

I will put the recipe in the first comment.

Make sure you save this recipe for later :)

AI lists the key benefits as:

✅Joint & Bone Health: Supplies amino acids (like glycine, proline) crucial for cartilage and connective tissue, potentially easing osteoarthritis pain and improving flexibility.

✅Gut Health: Forms a protective layer in the digestive tract, supports the gut lining, reduces inflammation, and aids nutrient absorption.

✅Skin, Hair & Nails: Provides keratin-building blocks for stronger nails, thicker hair, and more elastic, hydrated skin.
Blood Sugar & Weight Management: Glycine may help stabilize blood sugar, and the protein can increase feelings of fullness (satiety), potentially aiding weight loss.

✅Sleep Quality: Glycine acts as a calming neurotransmitter, promoting relaxation and better sleep when taken before bed.
Muscle & Mobility: Supports the infrastructure of muscles and connective tissues, essential for movement.

This is a health suggestion ... not a marketplace ad. I promise 😂

How many of you have or have been "gifted" a bone china pattern that you "store" for special occasions because you have childhood trauma from fear of chipping "mom's" special dishes..... 🙋🏻‍♀️

I suspect MANY of us have a pattern or two at home.

I also suspect that very few people actually use their china. I know I didn't... until this year. We have started using one of our patterns as daily servers 🫣 I am "attempting" not to worry if a piece gets chipped or broken. I am not saving it for a special occasion anymore (it has been in a special cupboard for over 30 years already) as every meal is a special occasion. I am grateful that we can use the china in a way that our parents could not. I have a sneaky suspicion that our boys are not going to want my china when the time comes. 🙊

I do know that selling bone china on market place is virtually impossible. Giving it away... is almost as impossible. Very few use it and even less value or want it. So many family heirlooms but the inherent value ... is in using it!

So here comes the PRO TIP:

Live in the present ... use the china.

Let go of what happened in the past.

The future is not promised to anyone.

There are some strong mental health parallels with precious china and precious mind space. ♥️

Dr. Mike and I are truly excited to be back in the office this and to have the opportunity to help you make 2026 your best year yet.

Let's do this!

*** let me hear it below if:

1. You have special dishes you never use.
2. If you would consider making them daily dishes?!?!?

Happy New Year 🥳.... almost 😂

We will return to the office Monday, January 5. Can't wait to see you 🥰

If you wonder what we have been up to.... it has been a whole of this 😜

Cooking, making soap and waiting for the boys to get out of bed so that we can spend some time with them!!!

FYI... we have 112 bars of soap curing. Half of the stash will be ready shortly after we return and the other half with be ready the end of January. We will all be sqeaky clean with our tallow soap lol

Pro Tip:

Save New Year's Resolution making until September. I see no reason to make change in the darkest coldest months of the year.

Focus instead on everything that you did great this year and set intention for more of the same 💥

Yes... we still accept new patients and we are BEYOND honoured every time you trust us with taking care of the health of your family, friends and co- workers!!!!! 💐

We are in the business of health care...and we take is seriously ♥️

What to expect at Well Within when you become a practice member:

✅Initial visit ....
30 minutes visit which includes a detailed history, orthopedic exam, xrays if necessary and an adjustment if we feel we have all of the information required to proceed.

✅Second visit .....
15-30 minutes visit to review your health care status, xray review, what is needed to get you healthy. We discuss how chiropractic works and what to expect. We also email your xrays to you so that you have them. You will also get adjusted on this visit.

✅Follow up visits.... (this is my favourite part)
You will get adjusted! This may be the old fashioned way with our hands or it may be with an instrument or drop pieces. This is dependent on what you need and want. You also may be given exercise advice, lifestyle advice, ergonomic advice, nutrition advice, nutrition advice... lots of advice lol. Dr. Mike talks a bit more but I use more biofreeze ... so it all works out 🙊😂

✅You heal. You feel better. You will want others to experience what you have ♥️

Uphill both ways in a snowstorm...I can do one better than that!!!

How about:

🌉downtown Halifax
🚗rush hour traffic
☔️while it is raining
🅿️navigate the parking metres
⌚️3 1/2 hour round trip .... to get my right occiput adjusted, which took 6 seconds.

Will I do it again..... probably next month 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dr. Mike has been adjusting me fo 29 years! He can get my back "to move" when absolutely no one else can. He knows how my body works better than anyone and I don't let anyone else mess with my spine.

Except ...

Dr. Lauren.

My occiput (the head as it sits on the spine) is the one spinal joint that no one can move...except her. When she adjusts it.. my whole life changes and my nervous system stands up and cheers!!!

So, I drive through ridiculous weather conditions, in ridiculous traffic, for a ridiculous amount of time... for literally one segment to be adjusted.

Is it worth it? Oh yeah, it is undeniable.

Pro tip:

It isn't about the effort to get where you want to go or what you need to do... it is about the life impact created by the result of the efforts.

Some things... are just worth it!!!

PS... if you have friends or family in Halifax Dr. Lauren is a pretty fantastic option.

It all started for Dr. Mike ... when he broke his back playing hockey. As promised, here is his origin story to becoming a chiropractor!!

Dr. Mike was a tough little nugget. He isn't 100% sure if he broke his back playing hockey or picking blueberries. What we do know is that he continued to play hockey but he quit picking blueberries lol. Two compression fractures in his thoracic spine. He didn't even know he had them until his mid 20's. Don't worry though, he is all healed.

Let's do the abbreviated timeline of Dr. Mike's path to chiropractic:

✅Dr. Mike went to see Dr. Wanda Lee in Bedford around the age of 12 with ... back pain. The only place he got relief from his discomfort was with chiropractic care.

✅at 17 he went to Dalhousie and graduated with his Bachelor of Kiniesiolgy but wait....

✅He then went on to get his diploma to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist. He did that for a bit ...but wait....

✅He then went on to get his designation to become an Anesthesia technician. He did that for a bit ... but wait...

✅His Dad told him to "keep on graduating" ... he listened to his Dad. He felt strongly about wanting to help people heal naturally.

✅He then went to CMCC to become a CHIROPRACTOR. He figured that was enough education and student loans for one man 😂

✅Fast forward ... built up Armdale Chiropractic, then practiced inside the Truro Walk in Clinic, to paradise at Well Within Chiropractic at 68 Robie Street 💥

Pro tip:

Be VERY careful letting someone go through your photo albums while you are at work! They will absolutely choose the most embarrassing photo to post on social media 😂

Also.... sometimes you won't even realize what is going on with your spine until you get it checked out! Just ask Dr. Mike! It is one of the driving factors for us having our on xray machine on site.

*** feel free to let Dr. Mike know how cute the pictures are that you have now seen 🙈***

What is your origin story? Mine... skipping Algebra in high school to get adjusted instead 😂

Let's see if I can shorten the story and timeline so you can see how a Saskatchewan girl ends up as a chiropractor in Nova Scotia:

✅first time to a chiropractor at 11 yoa, had to go after Dad rolled the car in the winter on an old farm road. Got tossed like a salad in the back seat with no seatbelts and had a bit of neck pain. Got adjusted and it took away the neck pain AND the chronic earaches I had been having. ***the picture is of me standing outside of my first chiropractor's office in Saskatchewan ***

✅continued with chiropractic through high school. Played a lot of basketball and other sports. Skipped class to get adjusted. I wanted to be a chiropractor but was told I was "too skinny" ( I miss being told I am too skinny lol)

✅hated school but got a scholarship to play basketball at university. Had a neck injury from a cheap shot from a teammate in practice. Ended up not being able to raise my right arm. Once again... chiropractic fixed that up. Graduated from U of C with a Bachelor of Physical Education.

✅went to the last stages of application to become a police officer in Calgary (life would have been very different had I been accepted) Decided to pursue my dream of being a chiropractor.

✅skip a few steps ... met a cute boy at school who happened to be from Nova Scotia

✅BOOM... I now haunt your dreams telling you to eat clean, stay fit, monitor mental stressors and get adjusted!!!

Pro Tip:

Ask me how I learned my beside manner and how I develop rapport with my patients.... I never tire of telling this story 🤣

Stay tuned for Dr. Mike's origin story ....

So... how did YOU end up where you are today? Is there a timeline?
