From all of us at Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC’s office, thank you for trusting us with your health this past year. 🙏💙 Many of you came to us after months—or even years—of feeling unheard, exhausted, and frustrated. Watching your persistence, your willingness to keep searching for answers, and your commitment to your healing has inspired our entire team more than you know. 💪✨

As we head into a new year, we’re celebrating every win with you—whether it was fewer flare-ups, better sleep, a little less pain getting out of bed, or finally having enough energy to enjoy time with the people you love. 🌙💤❤️ These “small” changes are actually big milestones when you’re living with chronic pain or autoimmune challenges. 🎯🙌

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy New Year filled with less pain, more energy, clearer thinking, and renewed hope. 🎉🌟 This year, we’ll continue to focus on drug-free, root-cause solutions to help you move, function, and live with more confidence and comfort. 🌿🧠

Nearly half of older adults taking GLP‑1 drugs for weight loss or diabetes stop within a year because of the high cost or frustrating side effects, according to research highlighted by the New York Times. 💊📉

That means if you know four people on these medications, statistically two may not stay on them long term. For many, nausea, GI issues, or simply not feeling like themselves makes it hard to continue. 🤢 For others, the ongoing expense becomes unsustainable once the initial excitement wears off. 💸

This doesn’t mean GLP‑1s never help—but it is a reminder that quick fixes often come with trade‑offs, especially as we age. ⏳ Sustainable weight and metabolic health usually require a more comprehensive strategy: diet, movement, nervous system health, thyroid and hormone balance, gut health, stress resilience, and targeted nutrition. 🥦🚶‍♀️🧠

If you’re feeling stuck between “live with it” and “stay on a medication that doesn’t feel right,” know you’re not alone—and you do have other options. 💚 You deserve a plan that supports your whole body, not just a number on the scale. ⚖️

Achieving remission from prediabetes isn’t just a short-term win—it may protect your heart for decades. 💓⏳

A new post-hoc analysis of two landmark diabetes prevention trials, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, found that people who reversed their prediabetes had a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure years down the road. 📉❤️

In other words, getting your blood sugar under better control today may translate into a healthier heart and longer, more active life tomorrow. 🩺🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Prediabetes is often described as a “yellow light” before diabetes, but this research suggests it’s also a powerful opportunity: with the right lifestyle, nutrition, and root-cause support, you may not only delay or prevent diabetes—you may also lower your long-term risk of serious heart problems. 🌱🥦💪

From all of us at Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC’s office, we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄✨

This time of year can be beautiful—and exhausting—especially if you’re living with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, neurobehavioral challenges, or thyroid dysfunction. Between gatherings, travel, and schedule changes, it’s easy for symptoms to flare and self-care to slip to the bottom of the list. 💚

Whether you’re in the middle of a healing journey or just getting started, please know we’re honored and grateful to be part of your story. Every small choice you make—an extra glass of water, a better night’s sleep, saying “no” to one more obligation—can support your body and brain in meaningful ways. 🧠💧😴

As you move through this season, give yourself permission to slow down, protect your energy, and listen to what your body is telling you. 🌟

Did you know that even though acetaminophen (often known by the brand name Tylenol) is frequently considered safe, it’s one of the leading causes of acute liver failure in the U.S.? 😮🍃 It’s easy to overlook how much you’re taking, especially since it’s included in so many over-the-counter meds. If you’re managing chronic pain or inflammation, remember—you have options! 🌱💪 Natural approaches and comprehensive care strategies can support pain relief without risking liver toxicity. Always consult a trusted provider before adding or changing any medication or supplement. Your liver—and your long-term health—will thank you! 💚🙌

Why do some older adults experience a slower recovery with chiropractic care, even when treatment is effective for low back pain and other chronic musculoskeletal challenges? 🤔 The answer may surprise you: it’s not just about age itself.

According to a recent study published in *Chiropractic & Manual Therapies* (July 2025), the key factors influencing recovery speed in older adults include higher baseline disability, the presence of additional musculoskeletal health concerns, lower self-rated health, and occurrences of depression. 📉💬 Imagine embarking on a road trip with extra luggage and a few flat tires—compared to those with a lighter load, your journey will simply take longer. 🚗🧳 In the same way, individuals facing these additional health hurdles often find their path to relief takes a bit more time. ⏳

At JCNN, we see you—not just your years, but your unique story and health journey. 🫶💙 Our personalized, neurological-based chiropractic approach is designed to address these factors, creating a care plan that acknowledges your specific needs. Feeling discouraged by a slower pace? Remember: every small win—more mobility, less pain, better sleep—brings you closer to real, lasting improvement. ✨💪🌙

If you or a loved one are navigating chronic pain and want a partner who looks beyond age to the whole person, let’s connect. You deserve solutions as unique as you are, and compassionate support every step of the way. 🤝🔍

Did you know that fitting movement into small pockets of your day could make a real difference for your blood sugar? 🚶‍♂️✨ New research—reviewing 27 comprehensive studies—shows that breaking exercise into quick, manageable bursts (under 10 minutes each) and spreading them throughout your day can be even more effective at supporting healthy blood sugar than doing one long workout.

Think of it like refueling your car regularly rather than running it on empty until the gas light comes on. ⛽🚗 Just a brisk walk after meals or a few minutes of gentle stretching every couple of hours can keep your body’s “engine” running smoother.

This is great news if you struggle to find time for traditional workouts, especially for those managing chronic pain or balancing multiple health priorities. Bite-sized movement is both achievable and powerful! 💪👏 Your path to better blood sugar—and better health—can start with just a few minutes at a time.

Did you know that as we grow older, it's completely normal to experience gradual loss of both muscle (a process known as sarcopenia 💪) and bone mass (called osteopenia 🦴)? While these changes are a natural part of aging, they're not a life sentence—there’s a lot you can do to keep your body resilient, strong, and active! 🌟

Here are some practical ways to help preserve and even build muscle:
• **Resistance training:** Regular strength exercises—whether it’s using weights, resistance bands, or your own body weight—can stimulate both muscle and bone growth. Think of your muscles and bones like a custom car: without routine maintenance and a little challenge, performance drops. Give them regular “tune-ups” by staying active! 🏋️‍♂️🚗
• **Prioritize protein:** Your body needs enough protein to rebuild and maintain muscle tissue. Include sources like eggs, fish, poultry, beans, or plant-based proteins in your meals. 🍳🥗
• **Rest and recovery:** Growth doesn’t happen during the workout—it happens after. Allow your muscles time to rest, repair, and come back stronger. 😴🔄

Aging may be inevitable, but losing your strength isn’t. Every small step you take today strengthens your foundation for tomorrow—helping you move, live, and feel your best at every age. 🌱✨

Osteoporosis is often called the "silent thief" 🦴 because it can progress painlessly and unnoticed—until a sudden fracture signals its presence. Many people are unaware they have weak bones until a simple slip or everyday movement leads to a break 💥. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait for a DEXA scan to track your bone health. Urine and serum bone resorption markers offer a proactive, noninvasive way to monitor the effectiveness of your osteoporosis treatment between scans, helping you and your care team make timely, informed adjustments to keep your bones as strong as possible 💪. https://hubs.ly/Q03M4kmQ0

Did you know that promoting true cartilage regeneration goes beyond one magic solution? 🦵✨ It's about supporting your body's natural repair process from all angles. For example, getting enough high-quality protein gives your body the building blocks it needs for new tissue—much like having the right materials to repair a road. 🥚💪 Balanced hormone levels act as your body's "project managers," coordinating repair and keeping inflammation in check. 🧑‍🔬🔄 And let's not forget sleep—your nighttime reset button, where the majority of healing and recovery takes place. 😴🌙 When these factors come together, you're giving your body the best possible environment to rebuild, restore, and help you stay active and mobile. 🚶‍♂️🛠️ What step could you focus on tonight to support your body's repair?
