1. Study I found VERY interesting (but NOT surprising)… There was a study done by the Cleveland Clinic, using data from their employees, that showed that those who received the flu vaccine were MORE likely to get the flu. It studied the effectiveness of the shot in the 2024-25 season, involved 53,402 employees, and was…
1. Health topic I have changed my mind on… The FDA is removing the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I believe this is a good thing. If you asked me several years ago about HRT, I would have told you I think it is dangerous, with an increased risk in breast cancer…
1. Quote I love… Two weeks ago, the John Carroll wrestling team unveiled its new (awesome) wrestling room. On the wall, in large print, was a quote that I have read and thought about several times since. It is a GREAT and NEEDED… and VERY TRUE… reminder. ”Discipline is the whole key to being successful.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
1. Controversial topic this week that I felt the need to weigh in on… So… does Tylenol cause autism? Like just about EVERYTHING these days, facts get clouded by emotions, misinformation, and political positions. A video was the easiest way for me to share my thoughts, so click below to watch… 2. Uplifting story I…
1. Daily email I signed up for… You may have seen billboards along highways with inspirational quotes that are posted by Pass It On. I’ve always enjoyed them. Turns out that they have a website where you can find all of them. I also signed up to get daily emails from them with one of…
