Your nervous system might be sending you signals you’re not recognizing! 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At in Fairmont, MN, I see patients every day who don’t realize their body is crying out for help.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some everyday signs of nervous system dysregulation that most people dismiss as “normal”:
🔹 Clenching your jaw or grinding teeth (especially at night)
🔹 Feeling “tired but wired” - exhausted but can’t wind down
🔹 Digestive issues that seem to come out of nowhere
🔹 Temperature regulation problems - always too hot or too cold
🔹 Brain fog and difficulty concentrating on simple tasks
🔹 Sleep that isn’t refreshing even after 7+ hours
🔹 Getting startled easily by normal sounds or movements
🔹 Mood swings or feeling emotionally reactive
🔹 Chronic muscle tension in shoulders, neck, or back
🔹 Heart racing during calm moments
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your nervous system controls EVERYTHING in your body - from your heartbeat to your digestion to your sleep cycles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your spine isn’t properly aligned, it can interfere with these vital communications.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care helps restore proper nervous system function by removing interference in your spine, allowing your body to regulate itself naturally. When your nervous system is balanced, your whole body works better 🙌🏼

If you have been experiencing any of these common, everyday signs, come see me. Call 📲 507-235-8485 to book!

Pumpkin spice and apple pie scented everything might be alluring, but make sure all your fall smells aren’t coming from artificial fragrances. 😉

Here’s why 👇

❌ Candles, room sprays/air fresheners, plug-ins, perfumes, etc. are LOADED with chemicals that have been shown to disrupt your endocrine system (some ingredients in artificial fragrance can mimic the natural hormone estrogen), irritate your lungs/exacerbate asthma/allergies, cause skin irritations, trigger headaches and migraines. [SOURCES BELOW].

With that being said, I understand the love of amazing scents- they’re powerful in a lot of GOOD ways, too!

🍊 If you still want to have the lovely smells of fall without the accompanying headache and more, then try diffusing clove, cinnamon bark, orange, etc. (but a little goes a long way- even “natural” fragrances like essential oils can cause allergic reactions and headaches)

🍦 If you don’t have oils on hand and you’re at home, you can put a few drops of vanilla extract and even a cinnamon stick or whole cloves in an oven-safe dish with water and turn your oven on low. Your whole house will smell like you’re baking cookies! (Just don’t forget to turn it off!)

What are your favorite ways to have lovely smells naturally?

Let’s talk about TRULY leveling up your energy and resilience as a mom...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care isn’t just about back pain from carrying car seats and hunching over laptops. The goal is to restore OPTIMAL communication between your 🧠 brain and body, which creates a cascade of goodness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When mom is functioning at her best, the whole family benefits! 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all know that mom-life comes with lots of stress, sleepless nights, endless to-do lists, and that mental load that never stops.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But getting adjusted is like hitting the reset button on your nervous system. It helps you handle stress better and prevents you from feeling completely overwhelmed by 3 pm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your body can actually REST and digest (instead of being stuck in fight-or-flight mode), your hormones work better, your energy improves, and you show up as the mom you want to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you ready to stop running on empty and start building real resilience?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time for YOU to feel good!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care gets your nervous system balanced, but adding a DUTCH test shows us exactly what your hormones are doing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When is sticking needles in your body a GOOD thing?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💉 With acupuncture, of course! 💉 If you’re unsure, read on ⤵️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Acupuncture uses tiny, disposable, sterile needles placed gently into specific acupuncture points. It’s one of the oldest tried and true techniques that’s been around for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ The body is made of meridians, which allow your energy to flow. Think of meridians like rivers inside the body. Each meridian is connected to specific organs and glands. The meridians are the body’s healing energy pathways, and the acupuncture points lie along them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Our tiny needles stimulate blood flow along these meridians at specific acupuncture points. This is where we can most effectively release the resulting tension, numbness, or pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ QI/CHI: Within TCM, these healing acupuncture points are considered to be gates of the healing energy or life-force, called the Qi or Chi. Qi flows through meridians as an invisible current, energizing, nourishing, and supporting every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, and gland.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The body’s natural self-healing abilities are activated when Qi is balanced and flowing freely. The quality, quantity, and balance of Qi influence a person’s health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Qi becomes backed up in one part of the body, the flow becomes restricted in other parts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Physical and emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, overexertion, seasonal changes, poor diet, accidents, or excessive activity are among the many things that create blockages.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever tried acupuncture?

You know what I’ve learned after years of working with patients?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Health isn’t just about fixing whatever symptom walked through my door. It’s about getting to know YOU. The real you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ The mom crushing it at work but dragging by dinner time.
✨ The woman who got that promotion, but now her periods are a mess from stress.
✨ The person doing “all the right things” but still feeling off.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your wins, struggles, and even mundane moments - they all matter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your life experiences shape how your body responds. That fight with your teenager? The work deadline keeping you up? Your daughter’s upcoming wedding?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It all impacts your health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you come to me with fatigue, I don’t just want to know how tired you are. I want to know what’s happening in your world that might be contributing to it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re not just symptoms to fix. You’re a whole person living a whole life. And that’s exactly how we’re going to approach getting you better. 🫶🏼

Sometimes the simplest solutions are right under our nose...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My carpet cleaner wasn’t working, and I was SO frustrated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I watched videos, took it apart, tried everything. Finally swallowed my pride and called my brother-in-law...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Oh yeah, there’s a piece missing.” 🤦🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fixed in 5 minutes with the right piece.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is exactly what happens with your health symptoms. You’ve tried everything - different diets, supplements, workouts, but you’re still dealing with:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔺Crushing fatigue
🔺Stubborn weight gain
🔺Brain fog that won’t lift
🔺Hot flashes disrupting your life
🔺Body aches with no explanation
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough.
You’re just missing a piece.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s where functional medicine comes in. I find the missing pieces, including hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and digestive issues that others may have overlooked.

Don’t keep struggling alone when the right help could change everything.

Are you popping Advil and Midol to relieve your cramps, fatigue, and headaches?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At this point, you’ve “accepted” it as your “normal”...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many times, we call things “normal” when really they’ve become common and are, in fact, signals that something is off.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙅🏻‍♀️ Heavy periods, fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, headaches, and menstrual cramps might feel like part of life, but they aren’t how your body should function.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They are warning signs that something abnormal is occurring in your body. We often ignore them and continue dealing with them, labeling them “normal.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you tired of dealing with “normal” symptoms?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have available appointments next week! Call 📲 507-235-8485 to book.

"If you don't invest money on being healthy, you will be forced to spend money when you are not."

This quote hit different for one of my patients, and look what happened when they decided to invest in themselves.

✨ Lost weight
✨ Decreased blood pressure & cholesterol
✨ Moving away from pre-diabetic diagnosis
✨ Zero cravings for processed foods (didn't even know this was possible!)
✨ Eating foods without labels consistently
✨ Exercise has become a habit

My favorite part of Darcy's transformation is not just about the numbers on the scale or the lab results (though those are amazing!). It's about the complete shift in how she relates to food and her body.

When you understand why your body does what it does, through proper testing and education, everything changes.

✨ No more fighting cravings.
✨ No more feeling defeated by your own body.
✨ Just clarity, energy, and health that actually sticks.

This is what happens when we dig deeper than "eat less, move more" and actually address what's happening with your hormones, stress levels, and metabolism.

Ready to invest in yourself like this patient did?
