Absence of disease ≠ Health...
Little Flip and I love our weekly visits to Health Path Chiropractic !

⚠️ For those concerned, he is NOT being harmed. He’s just in the “I want mama all the time and if she leaves me I cry” phase. Don’t let him fool you, we love Dr. Jami and staff! 😉
He has been getting adjusted at least once weekly since he was just 2 days old! Swipe to see his first adjustment 😍 (thank goodness for chiro friends who make house calls!) At the time of that first adjustment we were struggling with breastfeeding. After that ONE, gentle adjustment he latched for the first time 😭🙏 If you’re a mom that’s ever struggled with this, you know how emotional that moment is.
There are SO many benefits to consistent chiropractic care! SWIPE 👉🏼 to see just a few! It can be especially beneficial for babies struggling with...
-colic, digestive issues, torticollis, chronic ear infections, breastfeeding, and frequent illness
Two common misconceptions: .
☝🏼 it’s dangerous for babies/kids to be adjusted —> adjustments are GENTLE. NO cracking of the spine is performed!
✌🏼it’s not necessary —> You know the saying “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it?” Well.. the absence of disease does NOT equal health. Just like you maintain a car and change the oil regularly, you don’t wait until your oil runs out and your car starts breaking down to fix it (don’t ask my mechanic why my car was running bad recently 😬)

5 Reasons you should let your baby feed themselves...
🧠 Promotes sensory development as baby explores textures, tastes, and smells

🖐🏼👁 Promotes hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills

🧍🏼‍♂️Nurtures independence (less power struggles!)

💡 Fosters baby’s innate sense of intuitive eating (babies stop eating when they’re full)

🎉 it’s fun for baby!
TIP: when feeding things that require a spoon, pre-load spoon but let baby bring spoon to their own mouth

Tasty Tuesday inspired by your friendly gut buddies 🦠😋 Is your little one getting probiotics essential to support optimal gut health/development and to power the immune system?
Swipe 👉🏼 to see our favorite probiotic-rich snack and SAVE to make later!
Cultivating healthy gut flora is SO important for thriving heath, especially during the first few years of life. Ensuring your little one has healthy gut flora can help minimize the risk of allergies, food intolerances, eczema, illness, behavioral and mood disorders, nutrient deficiencies and many other issues.
👉🏼 This is especially important for:
-babies born via C-section
-if you received antibiotics during birth or while nursing
-babies who receive antibiotics
Yogurt can be a great source of probiotics, but make sure it’s cultured AFTER pasteurization as the pasteurization process destroys the active cultures. Watch out for ADDED SUGARS! Many yogurts (especially flavored) have added sugars. We love using plain yogurt and adding our homemade fruit mash (swipe for recipe) 🤤

Our children DEPEND 👏🏼 ON 👏🏼 US 👏🏼 to set them up for a life of thriving health.
Hi there 👋🏼 welcome to the beginning of our journey! We’re on a mission to transform the health of God’s creation, one child at a time.
My name is Alyssa. I’m a pharmacist by training and a mother by God’s Grace. Despite my training in western medicine, I’m all things natural...or as some call it, crunchy 🤓
This little cherub right here lit a fire inside of me that can’t be put out, so it needs to spread!🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥
We live in a world bombarded by toxins and food with detrimental additives. Our children are the sickest they’ve ever been. We’ve become complacent with regards to chronic conditions in our children. Asthma, eczema, allergies, the list goes on.... are “normal” now. Children SHOULD NOT be dealing with chronic issues so young. It’s time we stand up and defend our children’s heath.
If you care about your child’s health, JOIN ME 👯‍♀️ comment below if you’re with me on this 👇🏼 introduce yourself!
