🦴🦖 It’s Spinal Health Awareness Month, and we’re celebrating with some Dino-mite chiropractic facts! 🦕

A patient loved this board so much, they asked me to share it with you all—so here it is! 💬💙

Did you know the T-Rex had up to 320 bones and a bite force of up to 430,000 PSI? Talk about prehistoric pressure! 💥 Thankfully, you don’t need T-Rex strength to keep your spine aligned—just some expert care. 😉

From tiny spines to growing bellies, we specialize in pediatric, prenatal, and family chiropractic care—all through the Gonstead method right here in Santa Clara. Let’s keep your spine in top shape this October and beyond! 💪

Ever notice how just adjusting your camera angle makes a huge difference? The same goes for your posture.

Slouching doesn’t just look uncomfortable, it actually signals stress to your brain. Standing tall? That tells your body “confidence, calm, and focus.” 🧠✨

Everyday habits like tech neck and desk slouching can sneakily drain your energy and mood. But the good news is: small shifts, mindful breaks, and quick stretches can completely reset both your body and your brain.

So next time you catch yourself fixing your camera angle… don’t forget to fix your posture too. 😉🙌

Happy birthday to me!! My husband built me this planting box as my birthday present 🎁 and this weekend we decided to plant seeds with the kids! Edison chose wild flowers 🌹🌺 for our pollinators and on Zinnia's side we put some rainbow carrots 🌈 🥕... Will they turn out?? We will see in a few weeks! It's really fun to get our hands dirty, and try to turn these red thumbs green...

Bonus-- the kids look forward to checking the seeds every day (multiple times a day) and are learning about life cycles of plants as well as understanding the importance of tending to the plants' needs. Me being me, I relate it to them. "Does the plant need box juice or does it need water? Do you need box juice or do you need water?" Etc.

Ps. I recognize I look a mess but... U kno... Unfiltered life haha!

As September is Safety Baby month and today is Spinal Cord Awareness Day, it is a reminder of just how important spinal health is, even from the very start of life.

👉 Did you know that over 80% of infants experience some form of spinal stress or misalignment during birth? Whether it’s from a long or fast labor, a breech position, or interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction, the birthing process places a lot of pressure on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system.

When these misalignments are left uncorrected, they may contribute to challenges such as:
> Colic or constant fussiness
> Difficulty turning the head or favoring one side while feeding
> Breastfeeding challenges
> Digestive discomfort (gas, reflux, constipation)

💡 This is where gentle pediatric chiropractic care can make a big difference. Early chiropractic adjustments are safe, specific, and tailored to babies to relieve spinal stress, restore proper movement, and support healthy growth and development.

Dr. Zhu is passionate about giving your child the best start possible. Early intervention means addressing potential issues before they grow into bigger concerns later in life.

This September, let’s raise awareness together! For safer, healthier babies and a brighter future for our little ones. 💕

Had a fantastic weekend of expanding clinical knowledge on how to help balance neurology with gentle and effective chiropractic techniques especially for the delicate and sacred time of pregnancy! The goal of the weekend was to absorb the bombardment of information and be able to interpret and think critically through different real cases so we could pass the phenomenal results of increased balance, ease, and recovery to serve the precious pregnant moms in our practices.

There were so many things I learned that I wish I knew when I was pregnant (and I thought I knew a lot already🥴). A lot of things I think everyone can benefit from too but pregnancy is such a vulnerable and delicate time and no 2 pregnancies are really alike...and now I am excited to have a new set of tools to share that I can't wait to start using in the office come Tuesday!

Upon reflection, I appreciate that the information solidified what I knew, clarified things I didn't fully understand, and built on that foundation with new cutting edge that support the use and application of our techniques. I am in constant awe of how chiropractic is ever evolving in that new research is constantly being published that affirms the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care as well as neurological implications of benefits of a chiropractic adjustment on the brain... And our techniques themselves haven't really changed. It really honors those who built the profession. It inspires me to show up better.. not physically obviously with how weathered I look in this pic, but I had to take one with Dr John Edwards. Also I got a new haircut.

🌿 Why is everyone talking about gut health and the microbiome?

Because your gut does so much more than just digest food—it’s deeply connected to your immune system, mood, energy, brain function, and even longevity.

That’s why we created our online course—to help you understand your gut, why it matters to YOU, and what you can do to bring it back into balance naturally.

✨ In this course, you’ll learn:
✔️ The vital role your gut plays in your health
✔️ How your microbiome affects your energy, mood, and immunity
✔️ What your gut really needs to thrive
✔️ Simple, everyday steps to restore balance from the inside out

Your wellness truly begins in the gut. 🌱 Let’s make sure yours is supporting the life you want to live.
