There really needs to be a "scratch and sniff" option on FB 😂

New Tallow Soap drop....

🧼 sandalwood & cocoa clay
🧼 wintergreen, spearmint & blue indigo clay

We are trying new packaging so you can smell things easier....hopefully you like it!!

A couple of interesting tidbits of info about Fat Shaman Tallow soap:

🐮 the tallow is from Colchester County (love the farmer)
🐮 the tallow is rendered by Dr. C and dishes are washed by Dr.Mike lol * the process takes 3-4 days
🐮 the soap takes 48 hours to make
🐮 the soap takes a further 30 days to harden
🐮 the packaging takes about an hour and a lot of struggle as Dr.C battles with technology ALL OF THE TIME lol
🐮 what started out as an idea from our son Levi has turned into Mom & Dad doing all of the work

Pro tip:

Why do we even bother......?!?!?

Life is cumulative.

The little things matter.

If we can help introduce you to ideas, concepts, practices and products that reduce your Chemical, Physical and Emotional load...we all win.

Just do the denne roll for ONE song 🎧🙊... but I get to chose the song lol

Pro tip:

1. Classical music calibrates higher and is reported to make us stronger.

2. The denne roll used daily makes a significant difference with improving your neck curve ... this results in you feeling much better for longer!

3. 1+2 = health & happiness or at least a happy chiropractor lol

Any one else have their denne roll staring at them, just waiting to be used?!?!?!?

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 💥

What we see at the office ... Christmas injury from wrapping presents mostly LOL

Perhaps you should call your chiropractor....

The clinic will be closed Dec 25, 2025 - January 5, 2026.

We feel bad for all of the :"poor Santa's" out there!!!

We feel even worse for those that have the Elf on the Shelf and the mental duress associated with them lol

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 ♥️

Pro tip:

A very long time ago we crafted a mission statement for our clinic. It goes like this:

Our mission is to help make Truro and Colchester County the healthiest communities on the planet.

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.

Does the holiday season stress you the heck out?!?!?

You aren't alone.....

Pro tip (s):

🎄Don't over commit ... practice saying NO.
*** one Christmas party per weekend is MORE than enough ***

🎄Set a budget ... and aim to spend less not more
*** thoughtful is more important that expensive ***

🎄Moderation .... yep, I mean food and alcohol
*** see the above tip about saying NO ***

🎄Get Adjusted ... when stress goes up, so should your adjustment frequency
*** now is not the time to say "see you in the New Year"

🎄People .. spend time with those that leave you feeling full of energy and not drained of energy
*** you can't always avoid the energy suckers but you can limit how much time you have to spend with them ***
