Is your body screaming for a reset? 🚨

Here are 3 strange signs you might be ignoring 👀

Feeling “off” after the holidays but can’t quite pinpoint why?

🆘 Your body could be sending out subtle SOS signals—and they’re not the ones you’d expect!

3 Unexpected Signs Your System Needs a Reset:

1️⃣ Morning stiffness that just won’t go away
Waking up feeling creaky and stiff? This could be a sign of systemic inflammation. Indulging in sugar, alcohol, and processed foods over the holidays can leave your joints and muscles struggling to recover.

2️⃣ Recurring bad breath (even after brushing)
Bad breath isn’t always about oral hygiene—it’s often linked to sluggish digestion or an overburdened liver. When your body can’t process toxins efficiently, it can show up as foul-smelling breath.

3️⃣ Brain fog that feels like “static” in your head
Struggling to focus or feeling mentally fuzzy? Post-holiday gut imbalances could be to blame. Your gut and brain are deeply connected, and when your gut is overwhelmed, it can leave your mind in a fog.

The good news?

You don’t need a drastic cleanse to feel better.

Start with simple steps:
✅ Load up on fiber-rich foods
✅ Stay hydrated
✅ Support your liver with cruciferous veggies (like broccoli and cauliflower)

The amount of sugar the average American consumes daily has drastically increased over the last few centuries. This has led to an increase in heart disease, diabetes, and several other major chronic illnesses.

Here’s the kicker: Sugar isn’t just in the obvious sweet stuff (think: ice cream, cookies, and brownies). It’s in hundreds of foods that you’d never expect—fruit juice, canned fruit, cereals, trail mix, ketchup, salad dressings, and processed meat, just to name a few.

Because sugar goes by so many different names, it’s not always easy to spot in a product’s ingredient list. This makes cutting it out of your diet tricky, yet essential.

In order to reduce your sugar consumption, you need to read your nutrition labels and learn these lesser-known names for sugar lurking in your foods.

Why cut sugar?

✅More stable energy
✅Better sleep
✅Clearer thinking
✅Fewer cravings

Two Ways to Join:

Level 1: Eliminate all added sugars (this will eliminate most processed foods)

Level 2: Go all in—cut most fruits (except low-glycemic ones like berries, lemons, limes, avocados), starchy veggies, dairy, & grains for a deeper reset.

Yes, you can still enjoy sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, xylitol, allulose, and erythritol as these won't spike your blood sugar.

It may not look like much but Ethan and I went shopping today to get some cleaning supplies, soap, toothpaste etc to donate for the Hurricane Relief drive happening this weekend. (Drop off is at the Omni Center in Onalaska). Tomorrow we plan to go get some cat and dog food to donate. Please donate if you can! Any little bit can help our fellow Americans who like many of us may already have been struggling and now have lost so much more.

Comprehensive Lab Testing Now Available Locally!

We are excited to announce that we are now able to offer our patients our Comprehensive Wellness Panel locally!

In order to get the discounted pricing on this comprehensive lab panel, we used to have to send our patients to Madison or Minneapolis to have the blood drawn. Not anymore!

Unlike standard tests, our comprehensive lab panel provides a more detailed look at key health markers, helping to identify issues often missed by those your medical doctor might order.

For example, our panel includes a Comprehensive Thyroid Panel which looks beyond the standard TSH and T4. We also check your T3, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, and both TPO and TGB antibodies—offering a much more complete picture of thyroid function. This helps us detect imbalances that might go unnoticed with standard blood work, allowing for more proactive care.

If you’re interested in learning more or scheduling your comprehensive lab testing, give us a call at 608-783-0384.

🧠Fun Fact Friday!🧠

Did you know your brain relies on a healthy spine for optimal function?

It's true! A Nobel Prize winner, Roger Sperry, found that 90% of the brain's stimulation and nutrition comes from the movement of the spine.

That's why maintaining proper spinal alignment is so important. By keeping your spine aligned and moving properly, you are allowing your brain to function at its best. ✨

So, if you're looking to improve your memory, focus, and overall cognitive function, make sure to prioritize your spinal health.
