Are electrolytes overrated? ⚾️ 🏀 ⚽️ 🎾 🏈

Aren't they just for athletes?

If I drink water, isn't that good enough?

Well, MAYBE! Here are some benefits of adding quality electrolyte supplements to your life...

· Prevents & relieves headaches & migraines (along with neck adjustments, this has been a great addition in helping people heal from chronic headaches/migraines)
· Reduces muscle soreness & cramping
· Enhances post-adjustment recovery - supports your body's healing processes and helps your muscles adapt to new positions
· Improves water absorption & hydration - makes every ounce of water work harder because you're now able to absorb and utilize more
· Replenishes essential minerals - replaces what's lost through stress and activity
· Supports proper nerve & muscle function

HYDRATION MATTERS

While your chiropractic adjustments are creating positive changes in your spine and nervous system, there's a crucial partner in this process: proper hydration

💭 Over 75% of adults are chronically dehydrated and every cell, tissue, and organ in your body REQUIRES proper hydration to function optimally

Spinal discs are 80% water - They need hydration to heal and maintain proper spacing between vertebrae and prevent DEGENERATION + ARTHRITIS

Proper nerve & cellular repair depends on adequate fluid levels

Toxin removal happens more efficiently when you're well-hydrated (ever had a headache after an adjustment? Often just toxins on the move!)

Muscle recovery speeds up when you're properly hydrated

SO...

ARE ELECTROLYTES ONLY FOR ATHLETES?

No.

Everyone can benefit. But you probably guessed that ;)

PROTEIN 💪 PROTEIN 💪 PROTEIN 💪

To lose weight or build lean muscle mass it's ESSENTIAL to determine the right protein intake for your specific body type/size

I've shared this information (well, very similar info) with MANY patients

Especially those who have transitioned from their corrective chiropractic plan to maintenance/wellness care and ask us for help

One VERY easy way to add more protein to your diet is to have a canister of whey or paleo protein powder on-hand. That and of course eat more organic, high-quality red meats

After an onslaught of mainstream articles questioning protein needs, it’s time to question the questioning with a critical look at existing data

Multivitamin vs Fruits & Greens ? 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

Which is better?? AND WHY???

More energy. A stronger immune system. Faster recovery when life knocks you down.

Everyone wants this

The problem? Most people miss the basics their body needs. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

You can eat clean, train hard, and still feel like you're running on empty.

That's because your body isn't just fighting through the work day ... it's fighting stress, your environment, busy weekends with the kids, and less than ideal food options that are so readily available these days.

Multivitamins help fill the nutritional gaps in your diet; the essentials your body needs every day.

Fruits & Greens powders take it further; supporting digestion, nutrient absorption, and giving your immune system an edge when life (especially during this time of year ❄️) tries to knock you down.

GREAT TIP ON HOW TO HANDLE NEGATIVE PEOPLE

You will eventually get hate from friends, employees, coworkers, family, acquaintances, and strangers on the internet. That’s a fact.

Not knowing how to deal with it can spiral you out of doing what you need to, to get where you wanna go. Especially when it comes to your health goals

Here's my best tactic for dealing with hate:

"Hatred" is just someone announcing that you don't match their preferences. Once you see it that way, it loses its bitterness and you can shrug it off easier.

Translate everything into "They lives their life according to their own preferences rather than mine." That's all hate really is. Someone stating you don't match their preferences.

Watch how it works:
"You work too much" = "I prefer people who work less"

"You're too aggressive" = "I prefer people who are passive"

"You charge too much" = "I prefer people who are cheaper"

"You spend too much time at the gym" = "I don't put in the same amount of effort"

"Enjoy life more, stop eating so healthy" = "I don't make as good of decisions as you do"

Once you see this pattern, "hate" loses its power. Or it should! That's my goal in this message lol I want you to be able to chase your goals and NOT care what others think

Because here's the truth: Some people will hate you for doing stuff. Others will hate you for not doing stuff.

Some will hate you for being yourself. Others will hate you for not being yourself enough.

You're going to get it either way. So you might as well set your goals and actually start chasing them

Hope this helps

THE US HEALTHCARE COLLAPSE

Life expectancy is dropping. People are dying younger and younger and the United States ranks almost LAST in comparison to other 1st-World developed countries

The healthcare system continues to fail so spectacularly that even the most trusting people are finally waking up and realizing that nobody is coming to save them.

Not their doctor

Not some miracle drug

And most definitely not the government

People are finally beginning to understand something I've been saying for years…

“Healthy by CHOICE, not by CHANCE”

Things like holistic health & fitness industries aren’t just growing… they’re EXPLODING

Proactive, preventative, natural/holistic health options are becoming a focus and priority in millions of people’s lives.

AND WE’RE SEEING A PHENOMENAL SHIFT

This is exactly why things like chiropractic, especially neurological-based chiropractic care, is absolutely crushing it right now.

People are desperately seeking doctors and providers that are telling the TRUTH

They’re seeking providers that are giving honest recommendations that lets each person make the most informed decision for themselves and their family

And when someone finally commits to a healing journey (because nothing of significance happens overnight; everything worthwhile takes EFFORT and TIME) and starts to see results, or someone gets in the best shape of their life… everything else gets easier.

Their business performs better. They make better decisions. They have more energy for their family.

They can continue to do the things they love

Most people will read this and think "that's nice" or “I agree” but do nothing about it.

DONT BE THAT PERSON

If you have questions or need to be steered in the right direction, let us help you.

Because whether it’s us or someone we know, I know for CERTAIN we will be able to point you in the right direction

Whether it’s for yourself or someone you know, be a catalyst!

Join countless others in taking control of your health.

Healthy by CHOICE,
not by CHANCE.

Q: Are Multivitamins worth it?
A: It depends!

We've been hearing about them since we were kids. Anyone remember the Flinstone Vitmains for kids? 😆 The hype around multivitamins is undeniable.

But here's the truth: they is NOT a miracle pill, capsule, or powder that'll solve all of your problems.

What they can do, though, is give your body a FOUNDATION to build upon by...
- Covering the nutrient gaps in your diet (this is precisely why Dr Ken uses Fruits & Greens)
- Supporting your immune system & overall wellness
- Keeping your natural energy up when life tries to wear you down

***It's also super important for your body to make sure the multivitamin you're using has methylated versions of the ingredients used. This helps your metabolic & cellular health instead of working against it

Alright ALC fam!

This morning during adjustments there was a great question that was asked and we're curious what YOUR answer(s) would be...

Q: What is your favorite childhood cereal? Or, if you were to go buy a box of cereal, which would you be most likely to crush a few bowls of (or the entire box)?

***DISCLAIMER – as part of your health care team, we do not recommend cereal as a nutritious snack or meal 😆 We just enjoy the question and hearing what everyone says
