Your liver plays a critical role in processing medications, hormones, and environmental toxins — especially if you rely on long-term NSAIDs for chronic pain.

A clinical pilot study published in BMC Complementary & Alternative Medicine found that after four weeks of Spanish black radish supplementation, participants showed significantly improved liver detoxification markers, including:

✔️ 40% reduction in unmetabolized acetaminophen in the bloodstream
✔️ 37% increase in key urinary detox markers
✔️ Significant reduction in GGT, a marker of liver stress

While NSAIDs can provide short-term pain relief, long-term use is associated with GI irritation, kidney stress, and cardiovascular risk. Managing pain should focus on correcting the underlying cause — not just masking symptoms.

Chiropractic care offers a drug-free solution by restoring joint motion, improving biomechanics, and reducing nerve irritation. When structure improves, function improves — and many patients find they can decrease reliance on chronic medications.

For those looking to further support healthy liver function, Spanish Black Radish from Standard Process may be a valuable addition to a comprehensive wellness plan.*

A recent study in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle is raising concerns about a potential long-term side effect of statins: loss of muscle strength and mass.

Analyzing data from nearly 300,000 UK Biobank participants, researchers found that people who continuously used statins had:

• 25% lower grip strength
• 73% lower appendicular lean muscle mass

compared to non-users.

Even after accounting for age, BMI, and health conditions like diabetes and hypertension, statin use was still linked to greater declines in muscle health over time.

Researchers suggest this may be related to effects on mitochondrial function, protein synthesis, and metabolic processes — meaning the impact may extend beyond muscle tissue into broader metabolic health.

Regular chiropractic care can help by:

• Supporting joint mobility and neuromuscular function
• Enhancing movement efficiency
• Reducing mechanical stress on muscles
• Helping patients stay active — a key factor in preserving strength and lean mass

If it's been a little while since your last check up maybe now is the time to get a check up especially with the Spring season right around the corner!

Bottom line: While statins play an important role in cardiovascular care, this study highlights the importance of monitoring muscle health during long-term use.

🍭 Blood Sugar Matters — A Lot

Diabetes nearly doubles dementia risk.

Chronically elevated blood sugar damages brain blood vessels and accelerates inflammation.

Optimal brain protection includes:

✔️ Stable glucose
✔️ Reduced insulin spikes
✔️ HbA1C near 5.1 when possible

What you eat today directly affects how your brain functions tomorrow.
