This week, I had the privilege of supporting so many different people in my office…

One came in barely able to sit because of sciatic nerve pain.
Another was frustrated by stubborn hormone changes.
Someone else had been battling TMJ pain for years.
I even had conversations about liver detox, chronic subluxation patterns, anxiety, and that relentless “brain fog” that steals focus.

On the surface, these issues seem unrelated. But there’s a theme I see over and over again: inflammation.

Helping people find relief and giving their bodies the tools to heal never stops being rewarding. If you’re struggling and wondering if inflammation might be part of the picture for you, reach out. I’d love to help.

10 Things You Should Know About Chronic Inflammation
Most people think of inflammation as swelling or pain—but chronic inflammation is a silent troublemaker that can harm your health over time. Here’s what you need to know:

1️⃣ Chronic vs. Acute: Acute inflammation helps you heal. Chronic inflammation lingers and damages tissues.
2️⃣ The Silent Factor: You might not even feel it—but it can still harm your body.
3️⃣ Disease Connection: Heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and some cancers are linked to chronic inflammation.
4️⃣ Lifestyle Triggers: Stress, poor diet, smoking, and inactivity all make it worse.
5️⃣ Gut Health Matters: An unhealthy gut can fuel inflammation throughout your body.
6️⃣ Food Can Heal: Berries, leafy greens, olive oil, and fatty fish fight inflammation naturally.
7️⃣ Food Can Harm Too: Sugar, processed foods, and trans fats stoke the fire.
8️⃣ Sleep & Stress: Poor sleep and unmanaged stress keep inflammation levels high.
9️⃣ Weight Connection: Extra body fat releases inflammatory chemicals that affect your whole system.
🔟 It’s Detectable: Simple blood tests like CRP can reveal hidden inflammation.

Bottom line: Chronic inflammation might be silent, but you can fight back with daily choices—healthy food, movement, rest, and stress care.

🌿 Your Gut Health Matters More Than You Think 🌿

At Serenity Spine and Wellness, we know that true healing is holistic—what happens in one part of your body impacts the whole system.
A new study from the University of Tübingen has uncovered something surprising: common, everyday medications—not just antibiotics—can disrupt your gut’s natural balance. Researchers found that some allergy drugs, antidepressants, and hormone treatments may unintentionally weaken the “good bacteria” in your gut. This opens the door for harmful microbes like Salmonella to thrive, increasing the risk of infection and inflammation.

Why does this matter?
👉 Your gut microbiome is like a protective shield—it helps digest food, supports immunity, and keeps harmful pathogens in check.
👉 When medications disturb this balance, it may affect digestion, energy levels, and overall wellness.
👉 People who take multiple medications, or who are already vulnerable, may be especially at risk.

✨ Our takeaway: Supporting your gut health is essential, especially if you’re on long-term medications. Lifestyle choices such as nutrient-rich foods, stress reduction, movement, and integrative care can strengthen your microbiome’s resilience.
At Serenity Spine and Wellness, we take a whole-body approach to healing. By caring for your spine, nervous system, and gut, we help restore balance so your body can do what it does best—heal naturally.

10 Back-to-School Immune Facts Every Parent Should Know 🍎
Hey guys — you know the drill. First week back at school, the kids are all excited… and by week two, someone’s got the sniffles. Here’s why it happens and how we can help our families stay healthy. 💪✨

Why kids tend to get sick more after school starts:
1️⃣ Kids are suddenly around a lot more germs after a summer of smaller social circles.
2️⃣ Classrooms = close quarters, making it easy for viruses to spread.
3️⃣ Many germs can live on surfaces (desks, pencils, door handles) for hours.
4️⃣ The immune system needs constant “training” — new germs give it practice, but that can mean mild illness.
5️⃣ Stress, new routines, and less sleep can weaken immune defenses.

How to help protect them (and us!):
6️⃣ Prioritize sleep — school-aged kids need 9–11 hours a night.
7️⃣ Balanced diet — plenty of fruits, veggies, protein, and whole grains to fuel immune cells.
8️⃣ Hydration — water helps flush toxins and keep mucous membranes healthy (first defense against germs!).
9️⃣ Hand washing — especially before eating and after recess. Soap + 20 seconds = game changer.
🔟 Teach “catch your cough” habits — into the elbow, not the hands!

Extra mom tips:

Wipe down lunchboxes, water bottles, and backpacks weekly.
Remind kids to keep hands away from face/eyes/mouth.

Supplements can help fill nutritional gaps — things like vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, elderberry, or probiotics can be great immune supporters when chosen and dosed correctly for kids.

If they do get sick, keep them home to prevent the “ping-pong” effect of germs.
💡 I have immune-support supplements I personally use with my family and recommend to others. If you’d like to chat about what might be right for your kids (or you!), I’m offering a free, no-strings discovery call — just to help keep everyone as healthy as possible this school year.

💬 Drop a comment or DM me if you want to set one up — we’re all in this germ-fighting season together! 💕
