Happy Friday!

I love when my family visits me at the office. (Yes, no shirt, no shoes, no problem.) 😊 My boys have been getting chiropractic care since the day they were born. My wife swears their moods immediately change for the better once they've had some treatment.

Studies show the benefits of chiropractic care in children are improved sleep, improved immune system support, better behavior, improved nervous system support and over-all positive effects of brain development by releasing pressure on bones, joints and the spine. 💚

MOVEMENT MONDAY

Oh & we're truly moving on this one.

Prioritize fully body movement in all planes. We so often disproportionately perform flexion - extension, A to P movements that we decondition our lateral stabilizers that are largely responsible for ensuring we can perform other movements pain free and with maximum efficiency.

Use this as a warm up and/or cool down; especially after a run.
And don't be afraid to honk if/when you see me gleefully sashaying with this one around Rockledge or on the beach.

Go get it.

Make it a week filled with positivity & progress.

MOVEMENT MONDAY

The "Yoga Crunch"...the only "crunch" we endorse.
Too difficult??? You've got some work to do.
Baby steps to nobility, stability & intelligent strength.

Have the resolutions fizzled out yet?
If not, good on your.
If so, no worries as it somewhat par for the course from a numbers perspective.

Now we can get rolling with inteligent, big picture focused (marathon not a sprint), sustainable changes with #1 in our "21 in 21"

MOVEMENT MONDAY

Don't just mindlessly (resultless-ly) go through the motions of this old school, often wobbly pose.

Deconstruct the act, and rebuild it from the foundation up in order to purposefully take this movement to the next level as part of a dynamic warm-up, full body activation & mobilization technique, of to counter the ills of that chronic sitting.

Have at it & enjoy your week.
Merry Christmas!

Be Smart About & Responsible For Your Health

Give Your Body The Support It Needs To Thrive So That You Can Confidently Rise Above & Continue Living & Loving It

Don't Forget Your D and A

Well here we go.
Wrapping up 2020 & we are surrounded by restrictions, waves, shots, masks, manipulation of data & discrediting to the word "science"...oh...and Christmas of course.

Regardless of how you feel about all the above & then some, learning more about your body, how it works and doing all we can to maximize health remains universally applicable.
This is especially true for those deemed most susceptible and now afraid.

Instead of repeating the insanity of 75% of 2020, in order to improve outcomes to any virus or actual useful response to any medicinal intervention (injected or otherwise), spending some time going forward truly working towards improving health & less time being paralyzed by fear & judging others would be beneficial to all.
Now that would be taking the "we're all in this together" message to the next level.

Fortunately, where we live is at a low enough latitude level to receive this benefit but for those who won't or don't, supplementing is always an option.

Don't be scared.
Be Smart.
Be a thinker.
Continue to live.

How To Make ZINC Work For You.

Don't waste your hard earned money & well intentioned efforts by ignoring the known

We've spoken about this months ago, but were inspired by personal use of this logical formulation for both myself, the wife &

The essential zinc has a plethora of benefits as far as maximizing our goes, especially when it comes to the

Although it remains THE hot topic, this add to our own stable was not solely driven by C0viD, but rather enhancing our against any & all or otherwise that work against us on a cellular level in a similar way; including ... that is, the wage their war on an INTRAcellular level.

Knowing this, we want to make sure any potentially agents are able to actually get into the cell in order to exert their effects.
This is why we love this badboy.
Instead of needing to stack multiple we have the zinc coupled with ( a zinc : an agent that transports the zinc across the cell membrane)

Quercetin is potentially anti-viral in its own right, making this combo a sound member of a reactionary or proactive team.

The spray on this one is also nice as you don't have to worry about kids swallowing pills, and it actually tastes good ... to me ... totally subjective obviously.

My 4 y/o disagrees noting that it was "the worst thing he never tasted in a long time."

Taste reviews aside, the formulation is solid and can hopefully serve as an adjunct to your already positive, proactive, responsibly so that you can continue to & navigate this wonderful world confidently.

Maximizing Magnesium

It's no ground breaking news that is absolutely vital to proper function & flow within the body. We know that it is involved in OVER 300 different processes therefore has far reaching influence on our expression of health or disease.

The focus on this spotlight is on the forms of and why it matters. We mostly see coupled with a salt like and so on. Each of these forms has it's strengths as far as effects on the body, as well as rate of absorption.

For example, magnesium can exert a relatively stronger effect, while magnesium is touted for & effects due to it's superior capacity to cross the

Due to factors such as these, supplementing with multiple forms of magnesium can potentially maximize & minimize the multitude of detriments experienced due to

If you notice in the pic above, the top pic has magnesium listed by itself and not coupled with a or
This is something I've personally implemented over the last two years due to an increased understanding behind the involved in Mg assimilation.
The form above is known as or magnesium. This form is not coupled up to form a salt, but is a standalone that due to it's ion form, is used intracellularly, which is critical.

When you see a magnesium citrate or glycinate milligram count on the label, it is somewhat deceptive in that the quantity is of the salt as a whole, with a lesser portion of that being actual magnesium.
However, in this ionic or elemental form of magnesium, what you see is what you get as that puppy listed is straight magnesium.

Getting these and actually INTO our cells is crucial, as we illuminated yesterday with the plus combo.

Magnesium is essential to the vast majority of our functions. If supplementing, we best do so intelligently in order to make magnesium work best for us & continue proactively blazing the path to the healthiest, confident & longest life we desire
