FASTING WORKS - HERE IS THE PROOF!

I’ve been an Oura Ring user since 2018, and one of the biggest advantages of wearing it this long is pattern recognition.

When you track your sleep, recovery, and resilience for years, you start to see very clearly what helps your body and what drags it down.

This short clip shows a stretch of time this fall when my resilience was consistently in the tank. I wasn’t feeling great, my sleep wasn’t where it should be, and something just felt off. Then you’ll see a clear turning point. That’s the day I started a fast.

Over the next week and a half to two weeks, the metrics rise steadily. Not because I added something new, but because I took something away.

For me, fasting is one of the most powerful reset tools I have. It clears my head, improves my sleep, sharpens my focus, and helps my body recalibrate when things feel off. When my body is able to fast safely, pushing the plate away for a couple of days consistently brings me back to baseline faster than anything else I’ve tried.

Obviously, fasting isn’t something everyone should do, and it should always be done responsibly and with medical guidance when needed. This is simply what I’ve learned about my own body after years of tracking real data.

At this point, I know two things for sure. Fasting has the most positive impact on my recovery and resilience, and cutting caffeine is the next lever I’m pulling to see how much better things can get. I love my coffee, but like food, it's nice to take a break as well.

More to come on that.

🤔Most people don’t question the idea that stress affects the body.
But when pain becomes chronic, we often stop the conversation there.

In the last 10 years, our understanding of the mind-body connection has changed dramatically. What once sounded “alternative” or "woo woo" is now being validated by neuroscience, trauma research, and clinical outcomes.

This video explains why emotional and nervous system patterns are often the missing piece—and why care should always be tailored to the individual.

No pressure. No force. Just a thoughtful conversation about how healing actually works.

💪Your body is incredible at adapting so you can keep moving.
But adapting isn’t the same as healing.
If something’s been lingering longer than it should, there may be a better way forward.

🫵About 106 hours into this fast, and I wanted to share where I’m at. Not to impress anyone, but to be honest.

Physically, mentally, and spiritually, this has been a powerful reset.
There are moments of clarity, moments of challenge, and a lot of perspective that comes when you slow things down and remove constant input.

Fasting isn’t for everyone, and it doesn’t have to look like this.
But if you’ve been thinking about making changes this year, whether that’s with your health, your habits, or just your mindset, know this. You’re more capable than you think.

Small steps matter.
Intentional pauses matter.
And listening to your body and your spirit matters.

If 2026 is the year you want to feel clearer, stronger, and more aligned, this might be your sign to start somewhere.

A little FIRST-PERSON peek at what a normal treatment day looks like through my eyes. Literally.
These Meta glasses let me capture real hands on care exactly how I experience it, and it’s been a fun new way to show just a small slice of what we do at Rise Chiropractic.

Huge thank you to my amazing stepdaughter and son-in-law for the best Christmas gift. These glasses are awesome, and yes, my eyes are just fine.

If you think chiropractic is only about backs and necks, you might be surprised.

🤗Thinking about FASTING but not sure if it’s safe or even worth it?

Before you jump into a fast, you need to understand what’s actually happening inside your body. Fasting isn’t about starvation or punishment. It’s an ancient, built-in healing mechanism that shifts your body from constant digestion into repair, regeneration, and metabolic reset.

In this video, I break down what happens at 24 hours, 72 hours, and beyond, why hunger isn’t what people think it is, and why fasting can be one of the most powerful tools for gut health, immune reset, inflammation reduction, and mental clarity when done correctly.
👉 Watch this before you fast.

💪CASUALLY FIXING KNEE PAIN DURING CROSSFIT💪

Sometimes the most important part of getting someone out of pain isn’t where it hurts, but why it hurts.
This patient came in with knee pain during some of her favorite CrossFit movements: squats, single-leg deadlifts, RDLs, and any type of jumping. Everything loaded through that knee was lighting her up.

Instead of guessing, we followed the pattern the body was showing. Terminal knee extension was the real weak link, not the classic 90-degree quad test everyone expects. That end-range position is exactly where she lands and loads during those painful movements, so that’s where the dysfunction lived.

From there, we corrected what her body asked for:
• a jaw correction
• a left clavicle correction
• an adjustment to the talus
• and finally, the emotional stress pattern of frustration she’d been holding

And instantly—her knee strength returned to full power. She could balance, hinge, and load the leg without the instability or pain she walked in with. No hesitation, no guarding.

This is why I love working in the flow with patients. We can talk, laugh, and catch up on life while the body tells us exactly what it needs. What might take weeks of rehab, dry needling, injections, or a dozen appointments somewhere else often resolves in minutes when you follow the right sequence.

At the end of the video she says, “That’s crazy… this is why I come here.”
A problem that could’ve taken 6 or 12 visits somewhere else took about 15 minutes today.

When you ask the body instead of forcing it, things change fast.

💡 Zone Therapy Series – Zone 2: The Elimination System 💡
For those following along, I’ve been breaking down Zone Therapy, a healing system that balances the body through the nervous system. In short, the brain and spinal cord control six main “zones” of health: glandular, elimination, nervous, digestive, muscular, and circulatory. When one of these zones is out of balance, symptoms start to appear.
👉 Zone 2 is the Elimination System.
This zone is tied to the body’s ability to cleanse itself — the colon, kidneys, bladder, skin, and lungs all play a role here. If Zone 2 is out of balance, people may notice things like:
• Constipation or sluggish digestion
• Bladder or kidney irritation
• Skin issues (like chronic breakouts or rashes)
• General feelings of “toxic overload”
By stimulating and balancing Zone 2, we help the brain reset communication with these organs. Many patients experience improvements in digestion, clearer skin, healthier kidney/bladder function, and an overall sense of lightness and vitality — sometimes within minutes.
Zone Therapy is powerful because it’s not just chasing symptoms — it’s reconnecting your body to its natural healing pathways.
