As an anti-inflammatory nutritionist and eating psychology coach...I know that there are foods, relationships, environments and emotions..(and more) that weigh heavy on us. Getting to the root cause of not being able to release toxic weight is very individual and personal. If you have not been successful at shedding or keeping weight off..or have chronic inflammation that is causing ill health...I would love to explore the possibility of supporting you. I am taking new clients starting in January 2021.

Geranium and Lemon Essential Oils and Their Active Compounds Downregulate Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2), a SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain, in Epithelial Cells

Essential oils do what???!!!

"The fact is that there is no conventional medicine developed for the treatment of COVID-19. However, there is evidence that suggests that essential oils and their major components have displayed potent antiviral activity to other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-1, although the mechanism of action of these oils and their components were found to be mainly through inhibition of viral replication [27]. Recently, ACE2, a receptor in host cell favoring virus cell entry, was recognized as one of the prime targets to minimize the infection. In this study, we presented the first piece of evidence that geranium and lemon essential oils and their major compounds, citronellol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, and neryl acetate, could downregulate ACE2 expression in epithelial cells, thereby blocking virus entry into host cells, and eventually preventing viral infection. However, further studies are highly warranted to unveil the underlying molecular mechanisms of this inhibitory effect."

Taking care of people from the top to the bottom and from the inside out! The chiropractic adjustment relieves stress to your nervous system and in turn allows your body to let go of that fight or flight response.

Chiropractic is SO cool! Having your spine realigned can mean so much more than just getting rid of aches and pains.

Be kind to one another and GET ADJUSTED!

The safety and wellness of everyone cared for at Family Chiropractic Center of Fairfax is always our priority, and although Coronavirus (COVID-19) is not something to be ignored, there are several measures you can take to optimize your Immune System, reduce risk and improve your environment.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Panic helps no one! Here are some tips on how keep yourself and loved ones healthy:

THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE!

Make sure your IMMUNE SYSTEM is functioning optimally:
1. Your Chiropractic Adjustments helps your Immune System function optimally. Get yourself and your family members adjusted often!
2. Keep hydrated: Drink plenty of water. Most chemical reactions in your body are carried out in a water environment. The more water you drink the better your system will flush out toxins, destroyed viruses and bacteria as well. ·
3. Take immune boosting supplements daily. Talk to the Doctors and our health coach today to see what might be best for you and your kids!
4. Reduce your sugar intake: Sugar is highly inflammatory and can weaken the immune system.
5. Get plenty of sleep
6. Remove as much stress as possible from your daily activities
7. WASH YOUR HANDS! That means scrubbing with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.

What we do at our office:
1. Frequent cleaning of all the therapy tables, adjusting tables, equipment, toys, door handles, countertops and even our front desk pens.
2. Using doTerra non-toxic, environmentally safe cleaning concentrates as well as EPA approved cleaners.
3. Washing our hands AND using doTerra non-toxic, environmentally safe hand sanitizer.
4. Diffusing doTerra Certified Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils that helps kill bacteria and viruses in the air

We are here for you at all times! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns! Your health is our priority and YOU are part of OUR family!

Adora has been having a great time this week spreading lots of self-care cheer! Have you been able to find her in the office? Keep an eye out for her all next week too!
