โOnce Iโm pregnant, how long do I need to wait until I can see a chiropractor?โ ๐ค
You donโt have to wait at all! We will care for you whenever youโre ready, no matter how early or late into your pregnancy you are. However, we encourage you to begin care sooner rather than later as there is more time to prepare your body and pelvis for childbirth while addressing any concerns.

โA friend told me I needed to see a Webster Certified chiropractor if Iโm pregnant. What does that even mean?!โโ
โ
It means you have a good friend! ๐โ
โ
The Webster Technique is a safe, gentle and specific analysis and adjustment of the pelvis to restore balance and facilitate normal function throughout pregnancy and birth. A balanced pelvis improves nerve function and relieves uterine tension. Less tension allows baby the freedom to move into the proper position for development and delivery!โ
โ
A healthy nervous system maintains efficient, effective communication between the brain and the body. If your brain is talking to your body during birth you are significantly more likely to experience shorter, easier labor/delivery and less likely to succumb to unnecessary intervention and complications!โ
โ
Whether you just found out youโre expecting or you could go into labor at any timeโthe benefits of getting adjusted during pregnancy are abundant
In the past couple of years, that amount of people interested in gardening has increased drastically. However, in some of these small Texas lawns, many do not have the space to have the garden that they long for.
Tower gardens make it possible for you to grow 20+ plants in a small space! Not only are they great for small spaces, they literally water themselves!

Breastfeeding mamas!
Iโve said it before and Iโll say it againโ our bodies are amazing! ๐
FUN FACT FRIDAY ABOUT MILK-MAKING. Did you know you grow more milk-making cells in your breasts with each pregnancy? So the more pregnancies you have, the more grapes (erhm.. I mean milk-making cells) youโll have! ๐
Were you a first time mom struggling with milk supply like me? I donโt think a day went by where I didnโt think about ways to at least keep up my supply.
Second time around? A BOUNTIFUL supply! Now there are many factors for this, but one is because the hormone changes that you go through in pregnancy help your body make more milk-making cells. So in addition to the ones you had from your last pregnancy, youโll have some more!
Pretty neat huh? So if your breastfeeding journey didnโt work out the way you wanted to your first time, it likely wonโt be the same the second time around (for many reasons, having more milk-making cells being one of them!) ๐๐ป
Iโll have way more information like this on my website, where the launch is coming in March. Be the first to know! Link in the bio or go to breastfeedingdietitian.com ๐คฑ
Stay safe today! And remember, if you need to go outside for any reason, walk like a penguin!
If you forget to walk like a penguin and have a mishap, I will hopefully be in office tomorrow!

Tummy time is SO important! If your baby doesnโt like tummy time, there may be spinal restrictions that make tummy time uncomfortable.
If you are concerned because your baby dislikes tummy time, set up your appointment today here: www.wholelifedc.janeapp.com
or feel free to give me a call to discuss any concerns: (972) 429-1391
Babies NEED tummy time! At 11 months old, this little cutie should have a nicely rounded head, developed S curves in his neck and low back, and flexible legs that move in and out of various sitting positions. But, largely due to lack of time on his tummy and OVERUSE of "baby containers" such as bouncy seats, swings, and car seat carriers that go from car to grocery store to restaurant, he has positional plagiocephaly (flat skull) a big ol' C curve in his spine preventing him from getting on hands and knees to crawl, and hips and legs so tight he can't even straighten his knees! And these are only the outwardly visible problems...too much pressure on baby's spine and vision centers of the brain from lying on their backs are detrimental to development! So....tummy time, tummy time, tummy time! Do it!
ADDITIONAL INSIGHT:
Tummy time IS absolutely important for development! It doesn't have to be on the floor, but can be on the caregiver's chest, supported over their lap or bent knees, or on a nursing pillow for younger babies. Many of the comments we've read are stating babies shouldn't be placed in "unnatural" positions or those they can get out of. As developmental therapists, we specialize in the timeline of babies moving from the flexion posture (fetal position) through anti-gravity extension. The ONLY "natural" position for a baby is flexion. If you lay an infant on their back, i.e. In extension their arms flail and they think they're falling (this is the Moro reflex) and is why we swaddle babies to keep their arms and legs tucked in close like they were in the womb. The flexion tummy time provides is in fact very safe and natural. We urge you to find a specialist in your area if your baby struggles with reflux and isn't tolerating tummy time that can help develop strategies that will promote being off of their backs. AGAIN, this post is directed to parents and caregivers of babies who are typically developing and not those with special needs or other medical diagnoses. The baby in the picture fits this description. It is not meant to be judgmental but informative on what CAN happen. We are so pleased that it has opened up conversation between parents and health care providers to help prevent these issues from occurring.
Poor posture? Straighten up with a trip to your favorite family chiropractor! ๐
We still have a few appointments available before Christmas!

A recent study confirmed that having poor neck and head position can cause headaches. The problem is often described as text-neck since smartphone use promotes poor posture. Check out this text-neck illustration to learn more about this condition and what you can do to prevent it.

Incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet can help your immune system to fight off pathogens. You should be eating about 2 cups of fruit per day and up to 3 cups of vegetables per day!
My family bridges the gap between the amounts of fresh fruits/vegetables we SHOULD be eating and those that we actually consume by taking Juice Plus daily! Juice Plus is essentially encapsulated (or in gummy form) fruits and vegetables. The best thing about Juice plus is that it is FREE for kids!
Itโs essential to stay on top of your immune system and make sure you are adding the right foods to your diet!
Do you have questions about how you can bridge the gap in your or your kids diet with Juice Plus? Feel free to send me a message or visit the link below!

Have a baby that is or will soon be eating solids? Think twice before starting jarred baby food!
I urge you to look into baby led weaning. Baby led weaning presents solid foods so that your baby can work on fine motor skills AND learn how to feed themselves/how full to fill mouths/etc.
If you have any questions regarding baby led weaning, Iโd be happy to give you some tips and resources as all 3 of my kids started solids using baby led weaning!

The report says baby food from several of the country's largest manufacturers have "significant levels" of substances including lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury.
Today was a great day for chiropractic in the state of Texas!
The Texas Medical Association has been trying to limit the scope of practice in Texas by filing lawsuits that chiropractors cannot diagnose or have anything to do with neurology. In 2017, the Texas Chiropractic Association passed a bill that resolved the diagnosis issue which in turn, allowed people to seek the care of a chiropractor without first getting a prescription from a medical doctor. In September 2020, the TCA and Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners presented in front of the Texas Supreme Court to protect our right to be able to diagnose neurological and neuromusculoskeletal issues. Texas Supreme Court came out with a ruling today that ruled in favor of chiropractors!
