Your nervous system is like your body's command center. When it's out of balance, you might feel tension, fatigue, or even pain.

Here are 3 simple ways to support nervous system regulation:

Deep breathing - Try 4-7-8 breathing to calm your stress response.
Movement - Walking, stretching, or yoga signals safety to your body.
Consistent sleep - A steady routine helps reset your natural rhythms.

Chiropractic adjustments can also reduce stress on your nervous system, improving balance and resilience.

Supplement timing can make the difference between your body absorbing what it needs... and your expensive vitamins ending up in the toilet.

Here are a few key tips for better absorption:

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) - Take with a meal containing healthy fats so your body can absorb them properly.
Magnesium - Often best in the evening to support muscle relaxation and better sleep.
Iron - Take on an empty stomach with vitamin C for better absorption - but avoid pairing it with coffee, tea, dairy, or calcium supplements, which block uptake.
Probiotics - Generally taken 30 minutes before meals or with a light snack (unless the label says otherwise).
B vitamins - Best in the morning, as they can boost energy and may keep you awake if taken late.

If you're taking supplements but not seeing the results you hoped for, we can help you optimize what you take, when you take it, and how your body uses it.

Your cycle is like a monthly report card on your hormones, nutrient status, stress levels, and even gut health. Subtle changes in timing, flow, or symptoms can be early clues that something's out of balance, long before it shows up on standard lab work.

When you track, you can:

Spot patterns in mood, energy, and cravings.
Time workouts and nutrition for each phase of your cycle.
Identify signs of hormonal imbalances like low progesterone, estrogen dominance, or thyroid issues.
Support fertility or healthy perimenopause transitions.

The best part? You don't need anything fancy, just a notebook or a simple app to log cycle days, symptoms, and changes. Over time, you'll build a detailed picture of your hormonal rhythm, making it easier to work with your body instead of against it.

Your spine does more than just hold you upright, it protects the command center of your body: the nervous system.

Inside your spine runs the spinal cord, carrying messages between your brain and the rest of your body. Every muscle contraction, every sensation, every organ function depends on those signals.

When the spine is misaligned or restricted, it can create tension around the nerves. That may show up as:

- Back or neck pain
- Tingling or numbness in arms or legs
- Headaches
- Even issues with sleep or digestion

Chiropractic care works to restore normal motion and alignment in the spine, which helps reduce nerve interference and allows your body to function at its best. This means better communication between your brain and body.

You've noticed your hair thinning. You bring it up at your checkup... and you're told "everything looks normal."

Here's why that happens:

Symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or hair loss are often blamed on stress or age.
Routine labs may miss subtle imbalances in iron, thyroid, or hormones.
Your hair, skin, and hormone health aren't always connected in standard care.

Most people jump straight to worrying about their heart when they feel palpitations but sometimes, the issue starts with a simple nutrient deficiency.

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for heart health. It helps regulate your heart's electrical signals, keeps rhythm steady, and supports muscle relaxation, including your heart muscle.

When magnesium is low, those electrical signals can misfire, making your heartbeat feel irregular, fluttery, or even like it's "skipping" a beat. Stress, poor diet, certain medications, high caffeine intake, and even intense exercise can all deplete magnesium levels.

If magnesium deficiency is the cause, supporting your levels through diet and targeted supplementation can help restore calm, not just to your heart, but to your whole body.

If you love being active, nothing is more frustrating than an injury slowing you down. Whether it's a sore knee, a pulled muscle, or ankle pain, pushing through can often make things worse.

3 reasons why ignoring that nagging sports injury is holding you back:

Compensation - your body shifts the load, creating new problems.
Weakness - muscles around the injury get deconditioned.
Re-injury - small problems turn into major ones without proper rehab.

Whether it's a sore knee, ankle sprain, or shoulder pain, the right treatment plan gets you back to peak performance faster.

Don't wait for it to "heal on its own." Book your consultation today and get back in the game pain-free.

A stool test might not be the most glamorous health topic, but it's one of the most powerful tools for uncovering what's happening inside your gut.

By analyzing a small sample, these tests can reveal how well you're digesting and absorbing nutrients, the balance of bacteria, yeast, and other microbes in your gut, and signs of inflammation or infection that may be causing symptoms.

Here are a few common types of stool tests:

Comprehensive Functional Stool Analysis - Looks at microbiome balance, digestion, inflammation, parasites, and more
F***l Calprotectin - Detects intestinal inflammation
F***l pH Test - Measures acidity to spot malabsorption or imbalance
F***l Occult Blood / FIT - Screens for hidden blood
At-Home Microbiome Tests - Offers a bacteria snapshot (best interpreted with a professional)

The truth? You don't need a celiac diagnosis to react to gluten. Many people experience non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), a condition where the immune system responds to gluten, but standard celiac tests come back negative.

Gluten sensitivity can show up far beyond the gut. For some, it triggers persistent brain fog that makes it hard to focus, skin issues like eczema or rashes that resist treatment, or joint pain that feels like arthritis. Digestive symptoms may still happen, bloating, cramping, changes in bowel habits, but they aren't always the main clue.

What makes NCGS tricky is that symptoms can appear hours or even days after eating gluten. That delay makes it easy to miss the connection, and many people go years without realizing a food they eat regularly is quietly inflaming their body.

If you've tested negative for celiac disease but still deal with unexplained symptoms, an elimination and reintroduction approach, paired with the right functional testing, can help uncover whether gluten is a hidden trigger for you.
