Here are the 5 steps:

1- GET ADJUSTED: vagus nerve tone influences the gut, which is part of your immune system! Adjustments can help influence this!

2- VIT D SUPPLEMENT: supplementing now with a good vitamin D supplement will help you have the adequate amount for the coming months where we get less sunlight.

3- SLEEP: the most important thing you can do. Most of your body’s recover and replenishment happens when you sleep. Kids need at least 8-9 hours, or more!

4- EAT NUTRITIOUS FOODS: sugary foods cause inflammation in the body. If you want to support your immune system and bodily functions, making sure to eat healthy nutritious food is vital!

5- BONUS: comment the word “tea” or the 🫖 and we’ll send over our favorite recipe for home made lemon ginger tea!

STORY TIME:

On September 18, 1895, history was made in a small office in Davenport, Iowa. D.D. Palmer was working with a patient named Harvey Lillard, a janitor who had gradually lost most of his hearing in years previous. Lillard described the onset of his condition after he had felt something “give” in his back while working in a cramped position. Ever observant, Palmer examined his spine and noted what he believed to be a misalignment.

Trusting both his studies of anatomy and his growing conviction that the body could heal itself if properly aligned, Palmer applied a careful, manual adjustment to Lillard’s back. To their shared astonishment, Lillard’s hearing improved.

For Palmer, this was not simply a fortunate coincidence. It was evidence that disruptions in the spine could affect the body in profound ways, and that correcting those disruptions could restore function. For Lillard, it meant relief from a condition that medicine of the time had failed to improve.

That single adjustment became the spark that lit an entirely new approach to healthcare. Palmer would call it “chiropractic,” a term he created by combining Greek roots that mean “done by hand.”
