We do recommend booking soon, her schedule will fill up fast! Health Care Revolution You may not have thought about this, but we are in the midst of a revolution in health care. A study, published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reports that people are seeking health care that is “congruent with their own values, beliefs, and philosophical orientations toward life and health.”  Chiropractic, the largest drugless profession and the second largest healing art, is being increasingly looked upon to fill that vital niche in our lives. Nowhere does this apply more than in the lives our children. They are our most precious resource. And yet few realize that regular chiropractic care enables children to experience the joys and challenges of life in harmony with the dynamics of nature. My purpose is to empower you with knowledge that will enable your children to enjoy the benefits of a life that expresses their optimum potential for health and happiness. Victor Hugo once wrote, “There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has arrived.” I must respectfully disagree. More powerful than the idea itself, is the individual who has the passion, commitment, and knowledge to make this idea a reality. I hope my newsletter will help you in making health a reality for generations to come.  April is all about Eating Well food is fuel, so let’s have fun with it and build a strong body and mind. Aim for Color: It is all about getting as many colors as possible. The more colors on your plate and the more shades of vegetables and fruits your meal includes, the more nutrients you are eating. This means that an easy way to make sure you’re eating a healthy meal is simply to look at how many different colors your food represents. Aim for Variety: Different foods provide different types and amounts of key nutrients. It is important to choose a variety of foods from within each food group. As a bonus, choosing a variety of foods will help make your meals interesting, so that you don’t get bored with your diet. Aim for mindful eating: Simply put, pay attention to what you eat and how you eat. Chew thoroughly, take small bites, engage all your senses, learn your hunger cues, minimize distractions during meals.

Learn how to Laugh!  Sure, it’s fun to share a good laugh. But did you know it can actually improve your health? It’s true: laughter is strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. As children, we used to laugh hundreds of times a day, but as adults life tends to be more serious and laughter more infrequent. By seeking out more opportunities for humor and laughter though, you can improve your emotional health, strengthen your relationships, find greater happiness-and even add years to your life. Why is laughter the sweetest medicine for your mind and body? Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused and alert. It also helps you release anger and be more forgiving. With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use. –Lawrence Robinson, Melinda Smith, M.A., and Jeanne Segal, Ph.D. https://www.helpguide.org/articles/emotional-health/laughter-is-the-best medicine.htm Are Our Kids Safe?  Being your doctor, I am well aware of the miracles of modern chemistry – from removing mildew in bathtubs, to hair coloring, to smoothing out skin wrinkles, and maintaining that super-red glow of wintertime strawberries as they travel 3,000 miles from South America to our markets. Ahhhhh…Those wonderful chemicals that make our lives so much easier. BUT….are they safe? In the past 28 years more than 32,000 synthetic chemicals have been introduced into the marketplace. According to a Government Accountability Office evaluation of the practices of the Environment Protection Agency, 75% of these chemicals have never been tested for toxicity. US laws make a presumption of safety in the absence of data proving a chemical to be harmful. And the harmful effects are not realized until much later – until a chemical has already affected the environment – and your children.Don’t you just feel better already? You may be interested to know that The San Francisco Chronicle recently tested a number of baby products: a baby teether, a rubber ducky, a doll, an Elmo bath book, a baby bottle and a My Little Pony, and found banned chemicals in all these items. And these items are alive and well in the homes of children like yours! Experts agree that “You could have eaten strawberries 15 years ago and the pesticides are still in your system.” Scary. But they also found that when children replaced regular fruits and vegetables in their diet with their organic counterparts, pesticide residues in their urine dropped to virtually nothing. However, everyone agrees: “You cannot shop your way out of this.” There is a change needed but it must start at the top with tough laws and regulations regarding the use of chemicals in our daily lives – 90% are sent to the marketplace without testing. The burden of this is one we all share.
