Did you know 41.6% of people have low vitamin D? The percentage is much higher for Wisconsin residents!

Why does this matter?

The “sunshine vitamin” ☀️ can help boost your energy, balance your hormone levels, and keep you at lower risk for many diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

Most people don’t get enough Vitamin D, especially in the winter months.

The vitamin D in your multivitamin might not be enough.

Here’s what to do:

1️⃣ Don’t self-treat with supplements without first getting your levels checked, because your Vitamin D can also be too high. Got tested? Good! The 60-70 range is optimal.

2️⃣ If you’re low, I love Ortho Molecular Products brand. We have it in stock! It contains Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2, which work synergistically with each other.

3️⃣ In general, testing once a year is good for maintenance. But if you’re low, you should retest in about 6 months after starting your supplements.

Giving birth is no cakewalk for mama, as we all know. But we often overlook how tough being born is for the star of the show- the baby!

Whether baby is born vaginally or via cesarean, chiropractic can support the transition from womb to the new world.

Gentle adjustments in key areas of your baby’s body can help to ease tension and strain, as well as correct nervous system problems that may have occurred during their big entrance.

This can show up as:
👶 Digestive issues like constipation and reflux/excess spit up
👶 Trouble latching/nursing/tongue tie
👶 Excessive crying, fussiness, and trouble sleeping (“colic”)
👶 Torticollis or head preference/tilt
👶 General “tightness” - baby always looks like they’re straining

Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are NOTHING like adjustments for adults... they are gentle and relaxing, and your little one just might even give us a big grin when all the tension leaves their tiny body!

To book an appointment with us 👉🏼 give our office a call at (715) 870-2500!

Our product spotlight this week is on Viracid and Virakid by Ortho Molecular Products!

Viracid includes a powerful combination of key nutrients and botanical extracts. The immune system is very sensitive to nutrient deficiencies. While vitamin deficiencies can compromise the immune system, consuming immune enhancing nutrients and botanicals can support and strengthen your body’s immune response.

Primary benefits:
✨Provides support for immune challenges
✨Strengthens immune function
✨Maintains normal inflammatory balance

Virakid is a children's chewable formula that boosts immune function and provides support for immune challenges. Elderberry has been shown to provide effective, immediate immune support, and the distinct purple 💜 color creates a fun element for kids. Be on the lookout for purple tongues!

Stop by our office today to pick up your bottle and start boosting your immune system!

Between work, school, after school activities, sports, appointments, church, you name it, week nights can be H E C T I C. One thing I do to minimize stress is meal prep! Here are my top tips for saving time (and my sanity!) while ensuring we have healthy, nutritious food on those busy nights.

It's the time of year when sicknesses seem to pile up (hello flu!).

Chiropractic adjustments help support communication in your nervous system, and a well-functioning nervous system supports a healthy immune response.

Curious about chiro care for your child? Let's chat! Call our office at (715) 870-2500 to schedule their consult.

Making New Year's resolutions? Be sure they are SMART! Here’s what SMART is an acronym for:

Specific
Measurable
Action-Oriented
Realistic
Time-framed

Questions to ask yourself to set SMART goals:

🌟 SPECIFIC: What are you specifically focusing on? How will you accomplish this? (For example, “I want to eat healthier” is NOT a SMART goal! It’s too vague. What does that mean to you?)

🌟 MEASURABLE: How often will you do this? What are you tracking and how will you track it? How much will you do?

🌟 ACTION-ORIENTED: What behavior are you changing? What are you actually doing?

🌟 REALISTIC: Can you really complete this goal? Or are you setting yourself up for failure? Try setting small goals that lead to a bigger goal.

🌟 TIME-FRAMED: How long will it take you to reach your goal? Is this a lifestyle you are committing to or a temporary goal?

For example, here’s a SMART goal: I will drink half my weight in ounces of water every day. 🥤 You can measure this. It’s an action. It’s realistic, and it’s a commitment to doing this daily.

Drop your SMART goals below! 👇

Did you know wearing a coat in the car seat is actually dangerous?

🧥Bulky, puffy, extra padded layers under a harness create space between the harness and your child's body, and more space means more movement with crash forces.

🧤What goes UNDER the harness is what your child would likely wear INSIDE (a heated car, building, house). It's just a couple of thin layers, maybe a hat and gloves until they are warmed up, but that's it.

🥵 If they kept that big bulky coat on or their snowsuit while inside, they would start to overheat, get cranky, and be desperate to start shedding layers. ⁠⠀

🧣What lays OVER the harness is what your child would likely wear OUTSIDE (walk to car, play in snow, trek to neighbor's house).⠀

✨ Carseat Tips Provided By: Safe in the Seat. Check out their page for more info on car seat safety. She also has a winter coat test ✨
