1. Something I started doing… Oral health is closely tied to overall health. We know that we MUST take care of our teeth, gums, and tongue. For the past few weeks, I have been oil pulling, which is swishing about a teaspoon of coconut oil (or sesame oil) around the mouth for 10-15 minutes, then…
Basic human needs must be met to remain alive. We only last weeks without food, days without water, and minutes without air. Because of that, we all get enough air, stay hydrated, and don’t skip meals. These survival-related needs are fairly easy to meet and understood by just about everyone, and we all would agree…
1. Great video I saw this morning… Lana forwarded this video to me this morning. It’s a teacher (@msgellarteacheslittles) running through affirmations that she does every morning with her students. It is AWESOME! What’s cool is that by the middle of the school year, the students start leading these affirmations. I know affirmations are scoffed…
There is a story in Gilda Radner’s book, It’s Always Something, about her housekeeper’s cousin’s dog. The dog was pregnant and playing in the yard when it was struck by the lawnmower, and both back legs were cut off. They rushed it to the vet and were told that it could be put to sleep…
1. Video clip that caught my attention this week… There are lots of social media posts that highlight social problems and help to get us thinking about the ramifications of our actions (or inaction). I saw one this week about the dangers kids face on the internet. Kids take a mandatory written exam, are required…
Many of you will remember (but most may not) the television show called The A-Team. Mr. T was the tough guy in that series that most people will remember. Basically, there were four guys, all ex-special forces soldiers, on the run from the military for a crime they did not commit, that engaged in dangerous…
1. Text worth sharing… “Why would a child need chiropractic care?” That’s a question a lot of people ask. Our primary concern with any patient is how the nervous system is functioning. The most common area the nervous system gets disrupted is where the nerves exit the spine. So, we work on the spine to…
Would it bother you if I was recommending products that I do not use myself? Would it be upsetting to find out that I sell products and devices in my office that are not the best that I could find, but bring me the most profit? Would you lose all faith in me if you…
1. A post that I found super interesting this week… It’s no secret that huge amounts of money, time, and expertise go into creating food labels that entice us to buy their products. Words like “natural,” “fat-free,” and “all-natural” are used to make not-so-healthy products sound healthier. It’s unethical, manipulative, and should be better policed.…
