🔺The Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) 2025 Dirty Dozen list includes two new entries — blackberries and potatoes — both flagged for high pesticide levels and exposure to banned or hormone-disrupting chemicals🔺

Nearly 75% of conventionally grown produce tested by the USDA had pesticide residues, and 96% of the foods on the Dirty Dozen list carried multiple toxic chemical residues even after washing.

For the first time, the EWG ranked produce not just by residue quantity, but by how toxic the detected pesticides are when combined and consumed, offering a far more accurate exposure risk
Pesticide regulation still evaluates chemicals one at a time, ignoring how daily exposure to multiple residues amplifies harmful effects on your nervous system, hormones, and DNA

Children, infants, and unborn babies face the highest risks from contaminated produce due to their size, developmental stage, and inability to effectively detox pesticide chemicals

🔷Educational Snippet: The Effects of Chronic Stress and the importance of regular Chiropractic Care.🔷

In our modern world, our adaptive mechanisms for dealing with acute, temporary stress (running from the tiger in the jungle) were never designed to deal with ongoing, chronic stress. This constant stimulation of our bodymind to adapt to stressful external or internal environments results in a continuous stress response and ultimately leads to physiological changes. We then label these changes as symptoms or disease.

If you have any of the following "symptoms" your bodymind is telling you your body's temporary mechanism is working overtime!

🔹Increased stress hormones (cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine) and decreased serotonin leading to depression, fatigue, anxiety, memory/learning/attention deficit, decreased libido, immune function and bone density.
🔹Increased heart rate, blood pressure, clotting factors, cholesterol and blood glucose leading to heart disease and stroke.
🔹Insulin resistance and increased blood liipids (cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides) leading to obesity and Type II Diabetes.

Virtually every major health issue is a "disease of civilization" or a "lifestyle disease". I am not saying it's never appropriate to take a drug, but without addressing the underlying cause, to improve function and restore health, all we’re doing is artificially masking symptoms. So, besides a healthy lifestyle and exercise, why is regular Chiropractic Care so important?

Chiropractic Care allows your body to communicate more effectively with your brain! Decreased or improper motion and alignment of the spine result in BOTH symptomatic and asymptomatic changes. This disconnect between the bodymind results not only in decreased strength, balance and coordination, but in increased stress hormones, problems with learning, emotional regulation and organ function to name a few.

"While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, Chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment." -B.J. Palmer

I've been following Bruce Lipton, PhD since I was in Chiropractic College. He started his career as a stem cell biologist, and now is a leader in the field of Epigenetics (the study of how your thoughts, lifestyle choices and environment influence the expression of your genetic makeup). Dr. Lipton has a gift for bridging the gap between science and the body/mind/spirit connection. He is the author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles and The Honeymoon Effect: The Science of
Creating Heaven on Earth, both of which I have in the office library.

This is one of his best interviews that I've ever heard and understand why I choose to practice the the techniques I do!
