Here are my top tips for sleep problems. This is based on my personal experience, my 26+ years of practice experience, and the book "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker. I highly recommend reading it; He provides an excellent in-depth explanation for everything sleep-related and a summary of best practices at the end of his book.

#1 Sleep is regulated by a daily circadian rhythm impacted by light exposure, adenosine, and melatonin. Constant schedule changes disrupt this delicate balance.

#2 Sleep Trackers are not reliable, and studies show their results often do not match subjects' feelings of wakefulness and sleepiness. Keep good habits and use how you feel as the best guide.

#3 Late morning sleepiness is usually a sign that your body is craving sleep.

#4 Afternoon sleepiness can be normal for some people. If possible, taking a short nap (15-30 minutes) can be helpful. Longer naps will disrupt falling asleep at your normal time.

My kids sometimes look in the pantry and the fridge for a snack, and say that we are an "ingredient household". They are not finding a package that they can open to eat something tasty inside. What they find are "ingredients": fruits, vegetables, proteins, cheeses, nuts or leftovers.

The typical American eats a diet that is 60% processed foods...which is horrifying! Explains a lot about the state of our health, no doubt.

Here's a challenge for you: Can you go a week, or better yet, a month, without eating any processed foods? You will be amazed by what happens to your waistline, your energy levels, your sleep, and your body aches.

A recent study found that cutting back on ultra-processed foods for just two months was linked to noticeable health benefits. Here's what this means for you.

Do you wonder how your medications might be interacting with your supplements, or how they might be draining your body of essential nutrients?

I am sharing a wonderful tool with you....a drug-nutrient interaction checker. I use this site with my own patients to help understand how their prescriptions could be causing more symptoms or disrupting their health.

Did you know that some drugs have the potential to reduce nutrient absorption in your body while other drugs can interact with certain nutrients? Learn more about the supplements that may be right for you.

Because we practice with a Holistic mindset, part of our New Patient intake includes looking at any medications you are taking, and discussing those. Sometimes, medications can interact and could be contributing to symptoms that you come in with. This could include headaches, fatigue, rashes, digestive issues, muscle pain and anxiety.

If you have been on medications for a long time, or have numerous prescriptions, ask your medical providers about "Deprescribing". Much like decluttering your home, deprescribing is a supervised process of changing or reducing your medications that may no longer be needed, or may only be needed with reduced doses. This can be an easy way to improve your health.

Many people, particularly older people, begin taking a drug or group of drugs to address a particular ailment or condition. Unfortunately, the path of least resistance for both the prescriber and the patient is to maintain the drug regimen without questioning whether the prescription is still necess...

We welcome a new Craniosacral therapist AND Massage therapist to our practice!  Catherine has been practicing in and around the Lehigh Valley for over 20 years.  She appreciates the joy and relationship of helping patients, and bringing wellness and vitality.  Her therapeutic focus is correcting adherent muscles, relieving restrictions and pain, sports management, post-surgical changes and trauma healing.  

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands on approach of bodywork that focuses on supporting the body's natural ability to heal by tuning into its subtle rhythms and energy flows. Practitioners use light touch to sense the movement of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord.  Sessions typically involve lying fully clothed on a table while the therapist holds specific areas, like the head or sacrum, to facilitate deep calm and self-regulation.

We say farewell to Robin this week! Robin was a patient first, then she joined Chiropractic Whole Health in 2009 at our Front Desk. She quickly progressed to Office Manager for 10 years. She then decided to change careers, and became a Certified Craniosacral therapist in 2019, using her skilled touch to correct nervous system dysfunctions. Finally, she completed training and licensure as a Massage Therapist in 2022, making her a uniquely trained provider. We wish her all the best!
