Complement Functional Wellness & Chiropractic

Let's talk about chiropractic care & pregnancy! The two go hand-in-hand when you think about it, considering over 50% of pregnant women report back pain during pregnancy. Of course this makes sense, the body is now bearing a new load with that bundle of joy right in the center! Throw in some relaxin hormone that stretches all of the structures out to make room for baby, and that makes for a long 9 months. Fortunately, chiropractic care has a high success rate in alleviating lower back and pelvic pain.

Prenatal chiropractic care can also help with improved birth outcomes:
✨ Decrease labor time by 24%
✨ Reduce breech presentations with a 84-92% success rate
✨ Strengthen the pelvic floor and restore balance to support a healthy postpartum phase

Oh and what pregnant mama doesn't jump at the opportunity to comfortably lay on their belly with the help of these pregnancy pillows 🤣

Happy Hump Day!! 🐪 Sometimes at this point in the week, we are prone to extra fatigue. This is your reminder to move today, give your body some recovery time, and get adjusted!

I'm usually an eggs & chicken sausage fan for breakfast, but I think I need to make this tomorrow for myself and the kiddos!

🥓 What is YOUR go-to breakfast?

I'd love to help you reach your health goals this year!

The active ingredient in turmeric (curcumin) offers both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. In fact, a 2019 study of the safety and efficacy of curcumin vs diclofenac (NSAID) in knee osteoarthritis, found that curcumin had similar efficacy and better tolerance among patients with knee OA.

If you're ready to grab a bottle of turmeric, be sure to check that it is combined with black pepper. Piperine (in black pepper) aids in the absorption of curcumin.

I highly recommend Apex Energetics Tumero-XL Active as it's an emulsified micronized formulation that delivers a concentrated source of curcuminoids with black pepper extract. (Plus it get's bonus points for tasting like a creamsicle!)

"Whole foods" are foods that have not been processed (fruits, veggies, meat, seafood, nuts + seeds...)

The term "diet" may conjure up some uncomfortable feelings, but in truth this word simply refers to the food we habitually eat.

So, keep it simple and know that I'm always happy to help guide you in your journey to nourish your body to the fullest!

"Gut bacteria produce hundreds of neurochemicals that the brain uses to regulate basic physiological processes, as well as mental processes such as learning, memory, and mood. For example, gut bacteria manufacture about 95 percent of the body's supply of serotonin, which influences both mood and GI activity" - American Psychological Association

Ask your functional nutrition provider which labs they offer in order to further investigate your gut health! Here are a few I run regularly when I have a patient struggling with gas + bloating, indigestion, chronic infections, inflammatory symptoms, and fatigue:
- Vibrant Wellness Gut Zoomer 3.0
- Vibrant Wellness Food Sensitivity
- Vibrant Wellness IBSSure
- Vibrant America Food Allergen Panel

The functional model of healthcare differs from traditional medical care in so many ways. Your functional health provider will dig deep and evaluate all labs through a more critical lens, to ensure your body is running optimally.

Tired eyes, crazy hair, and a beat up nursing chair (that now doubles as a Normatec Recovery lounge!)…who else can relate??😅 It is true that our kids copy us in so many ways…Annika brings her “baby” dinosaur to the office, gives him a bottle, and puts him down for naps just like I did with her when she tiny! (I will say, stuffed dinosaurs may be *slightly* less fussy than actual human babies though)❤️
