If you’re constantly bloated, it’s easy to blame your lunch. But bloating isn’t always about what you ate — it’s often about how your body is functioning behind the scenes.

In functional medicine, we explore:�
• Stomach acid levels�
• Gut bacteria balance�
• Stress + nervous system tone�
• Food reactivity�
• Digestive motility

When we support the full system, digestion improves — and bloating becomes less of a daily struggle.

As kids head back to school, so do heavy backpacks, long hours sitting, and a whole lot of screen time.
These changes can affect posture, movement, and comfort — especially during growth spurts.

Chiropractic care helps support growing bodies as they adapt to a new routine, keeping them balanced, aligned, and ready to focus.

Health isn’t just about numbers or appearance—It’s when your body feels light, your mind feels clear, and your energy feels real.

True wellness means waking up refreshed, thinking clearly, and moving with purpose.

If that’s not how you feel, it’s time to realign your habits with your health goals. 💪🤩

You don’t have to wait for things to get worse to explore what’s going on.�If you’ve been:�
• Told your symptoms are “just stress”�
• Handed generic advice without real answers�
• Feeling like your body is off but can’t explain why

That’s a sign it’s time to dig deeper. Functional medicine helps uncover what may be shifting behind the scenes — long before you’re handed a label.🙌🏽

Back-to-school means new routines, rushed mornings, heavy lifting (hello lunchboxes + car seats), and more time behind the wheel.

It’s not just the kids feeling it — your body is, too.
Chiropractic care helps busy parents stay energized, mobile, and supported as schedules pick up again.

Feeling irritable, exhausted, and constantly craving sugar?�You might be stuck in the stress-sleep-hormone spiral.
Here’s how it works:�
• Stress raises cortisol�
• Cortisol disrupts sleep�
• Poor sleep throws off hormones�
• Hormones affect cravings, mood, and energy�
• And the cycle repeats

In functional medicine, we support the body in breaking this loop — not by managing symptoms, but by restoring balance at the source.🙌🏽

Talk to yourself like someone you love—because your brain is always listening.

What you say to yourself matters.
Positive, intentional self-talk—especially in the mirror—doesn’t just feel good... it actually rewires your brain. 🧠💪🏽

You don’t have to feel bloated or gassy for your gut to be struggling.

In functional medicine, we often start with gut health — even when the symptoms aren’t digestive — because it connects to:�
• Hormone balance�
• Mental clarity and mood�
• Immune function�
• Skin health�
• Energy production

If any of those feel “off,” your gut might be part of the picture — even if your stomach seems fine.🙌🏽

If you’re spending Monday recovering from what you did Saturday... your body’s asking for support.

Weekend workouts, sports leagues, long hikes — they’re good stress, but still stress. Chiropractic care can help your body move better, recover faster, and stay strong between
sessions.

You don’t have to give up your weekend fun — just make sure your body is ready for it.

Ever notice that when your body feels off, your brain feels foggy too?

Your nervous system plays a role in more than just movement — it affects focus, energy, and how clearly you think.�When your spine and nervous system are supported, it’s not uncommon to feel a little more grounded, alert, and clear.

Function affects everything.
