This commercial.....it made me made for so many reasons last night and I love the brilliant way that Dr Jessica Knurick breaks this down.
I have been adamant about improving my health for a while now, just under a year ago I started focusing more on restoring my omega 6:3 ratios.
One of the most insightful things I learned on this journey is the concept of improving your health by adding rather than subtracting. What I mean by that...how many times have you started a diet by removing everything you know you shouldn't eat and replacing it with what you should?
While the concept is sound, the reality is it doesn't work for the long haul. A better, more do-able approach is to add something good, in my case it was adding Balance Oil to my diet.
By developing a good habit like taking in the Omega 3 my body needs I find that I naturally let bad habits drop. As I feel better I find that I move more, I want to eat healthier....everything fall into place.
So, while I totally agree that we as a people need to eat better I also know that shaming people isn't the way to do it. We all know what we need to do to improve our health however it is much easier and sustainable to slowly introduce better habits and let the old habits fall to the wayside.

I saw this post in my feed and it just made my soul smile.

I have been intrigued by archetypes and how they function in our life for a few years now. In case you're not aware, archetypes are patterns of behavior that exist across time and space, they form who we are as people.

We each have archetypal patterns that help us to learn, grow and flourish in this life. It is only when we become aware of these patterns that we are able to work with them, learn from them, and make more conscious choices in our life that help us to achieve all we came to learn in this lifetime.

There are 4 archetypal patterns that we all share: the victim, the child, the saboteur and the pr******te (this isn't what you think it is šŸ˜‰).

These 4 help us to develop a sense of self-esteem in our life, the lessons that these archetypes bring are ones that we all share.

Are you interested in learning more? I would love to help you on your path to self discovery.

In the spirit of February being Heart Health month I wanted to share a story with you.

About 20 years ago on a Tuesday afternoon I got a call from my dad. He told me he was having a little bit of chest pain, "no big deal", he had saw his doctor that day and a stress test was scheduled for the next day to figure out what may be going on.

Apparently later that night he still wasn't feeling great, in fact bad enough that he allowed my mom to call 911...when the paramedics arrived to the house they informed him that he was having a heart attack so my dad did the most logical thing.....drove himself to the hospital.

Fast forward to the next day, I recieved a call that my dad, not only had had a massive heart attack but was being prepped to go into surgery, later we would find out that he had 7 vessels bypassed. After that surgery the doctor all but assured us that he "would be good"....he had his second heart attach 4 weeks later.

While I am happy to report that he is doing well now, I do share this for a reason.

First, my dads heart attack wasn't typical. I joke with him that he had "a heart attack like a lady".....I will post more about that soon.

Second, despite the fact that he was a smoker and his diet was never "great" (although not horrible either) he was in excellent health. "Excellent health" as defined as he didn't take any medications, he felt good, was able to do just about anything without difficulty.

Working in health care for over 30 years now I promise you, this is a story that I have heard all too often....illness just came out of no where!

The truth is, our body is brilliant and will continue to adapt in order to keep us up and running. This adaption will go on until it can't, this is when symptoms like chest pain start to show up. The symptom isn't a warning of a problem, it is more of the body waving a white flag warning you that it can't adapt much longer.

This is why I am so passionate about being proactive about your health. Stress is the reason that we lose our health; this may be physical, chemical or emotional.

Physical stress comes from the wear and tear of being alive, chemical stress comes from what we put in our body as well as the nutrients that we lack in our diet, and emotional stress needs no explanation.

Want to improve your health naturally? My advice for you is to move your body and move it properly. Stretch, exercise, get adjusted. When it comes to your diet, if you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't eat it, also, make sure you are getting the nutrition your body needs like proper amounts of omega 3, this is vital to the health and wellness of your cells. Lastly, and maybe the most difficult of the 3, take care of your mental health.

This last one can be tricky, we live in a crazy world where the news comes hard and fast and is troubling in so many ways. Take time to sit in silence, journal, pray, whatever you need to do to quiet your mind.

If I can help you on your own health journey in any way let me know! I will be happy to share any information I can.

Together let's heal!

Have you ever felt like everything is falling apart? This is where I found myself this past year. There were so many major shifts, some good, some amazing and some were utterly devastating…..closing my practice was one of those.

I was 10 years into a career that I loved but, if I’m being honest, didn’t provide in the same way that my previous career did and it consumed almost all of my time. I lived buried under to do lists that were filled with things I over committed to, things I had been procrastinating doing (so they were regulars on my list), and things I dreamed of doing ā€œif I had the timeā€.

In one of my darker days, I sat on my front porch journaling and realized that something had to give, and I made the painful decision to close my practice. The day I gave my notice to the building manager I felt a weight come off my shoulders; it was as if I was able to take a deep breath.

That decision was such a mixed bag of emotions. I was happy to be returning to my roots as a hospice nurse, something that I have always found to feed my soul but at the same time I mourned the dreams I had about being a chiropractor. I felt like an utter failure, that I wasted so much time and money on something that didn’t turn out as I had hoped. However, after much journaling, deep thought, and a bit of ugly crying, I realized how utterly amazing this journey of life is.

This past year opened my eyes to the impact that choices that we make in our lives have, not only on ourselves, but on the people around us as well. I realized that crying over what I thought ā€œlife should beā€ was silly because as the adage goes ā€œeverything happens for a reasonā€.

I wish I could put into words how I have experienced the truth in this statement over the past year. I have been blessed to see how the tiniest of choices, starting with a part-time job I took as a 16-year-old kid, lead me to where I am right now in life. My sincere prayer for you is that you too realize the impact of your thoughts, actions, words spoken…. all of it creates a ripple that you will never see the end of…that truth honestly takes my breath away.

What really opened my eyes to all of this was my work as an archetypal consultant. In case you aren’t familiar with that term, archetypes are patterns of behavior, thinking, and being that span across time and space. Archetypes like Mother, Addict, Victim…. are all patterns that we can recognize in others and maybe ourselves. Understanding the patterns in your life helps you to better understand the choices you make and can be a guide of sorts for you on this journey of life. In doing this work I have realized the patterns that have kept me stuck and the patterns that provide purpose in my life.

This work has enriched my life so much that I would like to share what I know with you and perhaps help you on your own journey to learning about yourself and your soul’s purpose.

All of this is a long-winded way to say that I plan to shift the tone of my page. While I may not be practicing as a health care provider, that doesn’t mean my passion for helping people to heal has dimmed.

One thing working as a nurse on and off for the last almost 28 years has taught me is that you have to be proactive about your health and that starts with managing the physical, chemical and emotional stress in your life.

As a chiropractor, I helped people with physical stress however what we put in our body (or what we lack in our diet) as well as our emotions have an even bigger impact on our health-this is where my focus is going to be.

With that being said, the tone of my social media will be changing. My plan is to become more authentic, possibly over share but more importantly, be fully transparent and honest. Not that I wasn’t before, but in the spirit of honesty, I found myself taking the safe route….not letting my ā€œfreak flag flyā€ as they say.

I would like to sincerely thank you if you are still reading this at this point. I hope to share more with you in the coming year and together we will improve our health and happiness!!

Much Love to you!!

Protect Your Heart & Brain with Omega-3s šŸ§ ā¤ļø

Recent research shows that higher levels of marine omega-3s (EPA, DHA & DPA) can help lower your risk of ischemic stroke.

Here’s what omega-3s do for your body:
• Reduce plaque buildup in your arteries
• Improve blood flow
• Lower triglycerides and blood pressure
• Calm inflammation and prevent clotting

Different omega-3s have different benefits:
• DHA → supports prevention of atherothrombotic strokes
• DPA → supports prevention of cardioembolic strokes

šŸ’” Tip: Small daily habits—like adding omega-3s to your routine—can offer long-term protection for your heart and brain.

🧠 Can Omega-3s Help Protect Your Brain and Prevent Dementia?

A growing body of research says yes! Studies suggest that maintaining a healthy omega-3 balance could help prevent a large percentage of dementia cases — possibly up to 73% when combined with other lifestyle factors like good nutrition and healthy B vitamin levels.

Here’s how omega-3s support your brain:

šŸ’§ They reduce harmful buildup. DHA, one of the main omega-3 fats, helps lower beta-amyloid production — the sticky protein often linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

🌱 They help your brain grow new cells. DHA promotes neurogenesis, the process of creating new neurons in the hippocampus — the area responsible for memory and learning.

⚔ They improve how your brain cells communicate. Omega-3s strengthen and soften brain cell membranes, allowing for better connection and function between neurons.

✨ They boost BDNF — your brain’s growth factor. Diets rich in omega-3s raise levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, a protein that keeps brain cells strong, flexible, and thriving.

Keeping your omega balance in check is one of the simplest and most natural ways to protect your memory, focus, and brain health for life.

Back in February, a friend wouldn’t stop talking about this Omega-3 supplement she’d been taking — I had to check it out.

I would have considered myself ā€œhealthyā€ back then — I felt good and wasn’t on any meds. But a simple finger-stick blood test that measures inflammation caught my attention, so I decided to try it.

The results? My Omega balance was 32:1!!! I had no idea that not getting enough Omega-3 could contribute to things like ADD, mood swings, dry skin, high blood pressure, and more.

Four months later, I took the second (free) test — and wow. Not only am I closer to balance, but other health markers improved too.

Here’s what’s changed for me:
āœ… Dry eyes? Gone — I’m actually excited to try contacts
āœ… Headaches? None in months!
āœ… Morning foot pain? Completely disappeared
āœ… Hair? So shiny and frizz-free
āœ… Energy? Sky-high — no afternoon coffee needed
āœ… Focus? Way better — no more ā€œchasing squirrelsā€
āœ… Bonus: dropped a pant size!

I know there are even more improvements happening beneath the surface. Healing takes time, but I’m in it for the long haul. Four months in, and I feel incredible — I can only imagine how I’ll feel in two years!

Happy cells, happy gut, happy Niccie! 🌿

Did you know the World Health Organization recommends 30 grams of fiber per day, yet the average person only consumes about 15 grams?

Fiber isn’t just for digestion — prebiotic fibers, in particular, feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping to balance your microbiome. A healthy gut impacts more than just your digestive system:

✨ Supports strong immunity
✨ Reduces inflammation throughout the body
✨ Improves mood and mental clarity
✨ Enhances nutrient absorption
✨ Promotes healthy weight management

By increasing your intake of prebiotic-rich foods — like vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains — you can strengthen your gut and support overall wellness from the inside out.

Just 1 scoop of Zinobiotic is easier (and I bet tastier) than bowls of "Colon Blow". Want to learn more? Drop a šŸ’© below!

šŸ” Let’s talk about processed foods and your health.

Convenience foods are everywhere — they’re quick, cheap, and easy to grab on the go. But here’s the truth: most processed foods are loaded with refined sugars, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and artificial ingredients that can quietly wreak havoc on your health.

Over time, diets high in processed foods are linked to:
āš ļø Chronic inflammation
āš ļø Hormone imbalance
āš ļø Weight gain and metabolic disorders
āš ļø Digestive issues and poor gut health
āš ļø Increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even depression

When we eat these foods regularly, our bodies are left nutrient-depleted and inflamed — which sets the stage for chronic pain, fatigue, and disease.

Your body was designed to thrive on real, whole foods — foods that come from the earth, not from a factory. The more natural your nutrition, the more your body can heal, energize, and restore balance.

✨ Small changes make a big difference. Start today by swapping one processed item for something fresh and whole — your body will thank you!

Let’s talk about PTSD and depression.

These conditions don’t just affect your mind — they impact your body, relationships, and sense of purpose. For many veterans and service members, trauma (whether seen or unseen) often lies at the root.

šŸ“Š In a 2017 study of over 5,800 U.S. veterans, 12.9% were diagnosed with PTSD — nearly double the rate seen in the general population, where only 6.8% of Americans will experience PTSD in their lifetime.

Across the U.S., around 8 million adults struggle with PTSD each year.
And in a 2014 study of more than 3,100 veterans, 87% reported exposure to at least one traumatic event, with an average of 3.4 traumatic experiences over their lifetime.

These numbers aren’t just statistics — they represent real people, real pain, and real stories of courage.

It has been our experience in our family that the medications traditionally used to treat PTSD have side effects worse than the condition that they are aiming to treat. Our saving grace has been a saffron based supplement called Viva.

If you or someone you know is living with the effects of trauma, please know: you’re not alone, and healing is possible. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you would like to discuss a food based supplement approach to tackling the effects of PTSD , I am here for you.

Thank you to all the service members that bravely and valiantly served our country. Also, thank you to the families that support the service members as well. Having been through 2 deployments I know the sacrifice is real for the entire family.
