Whew! We got lucky packer nation!

When I saw it happen I thought MCL for sure. But a sprain/strain can heal pretty quick. We work on these types of injuries all the time. Proper adjusting, rehab , and bracing and he should be out there in a couple weeks.

Love is expected to miss some time after going down in the final seconds of the Packers' loss to the Eagles.

If anyone knows a Chiropractor that wants a new job send them my way. We are busy and could use more hands that can adjust!

It was a busy Friday with lots of success stories to go around. A nice call from a patient that finally slept, a patient that actually enjoyed her run for a change, and a shoulder that is now unfrozen and can move again! But this view at the end of the day as I leave the office seems to sum it nicely. Have a great weekend everyone!

“I didn’t know.”

My patient yesterday didn’t know that I worked on shoulders. And after working on his shoulder twice, his pain and loss of motion that has been there for years, was gone. “I didn’t know. I just thought you were back and neck people.” he said.

With that I realized that I need to do a better job of explaining what I do everyday in office. So if you didn’t know:

I adjust shoulders.

I adjust elbows.

I adjust wrists.

I adjust hips.

I adjust knees.

I adjust ankles.

I adjust feet.

I adjust fingers and toes.

I adjust the neck and the back of course.

And I work on all of these without the use of drugs, surgery, or injections.

Now you know.

Here is a friendly reminder to take your vitamins!

It is easy to get relaxed and miss taking your supplements, but during a seemingly never ending pandemic and high stress times, the body needs proper support.

I recommend vitamin D, C, NAC, and melatonin to everyone.

A good multivitamin, fish oil, and stress complex are always in my own regimen as well.

If you want more information about proper supplementation let me know. My office has access to high quality supplements from Nutridyn and Metagenics. Together we can come up with a plan that is right for you and your health goals.

Good info on when to take your vitamins.

What time should we take our supplements? The always insightful Deanna Minich, PhD, broke it all down and we had to share:

Chrononutrition is becoming a hot topic in nutrition science. Timing and the method of delivery are key for how the body absorbs and utilizes a nutrient.

I pulled out my nutrition textbooks, looked through articles, and drew from my own clinical experience to put this chart together. It’s not perfect. We still do not know enough about and nutrients in humans.

Of course, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) need fat/a meal for better absorption, along with minerals, which can result in nausea if not taken with food. Omega-3s can cause burping if they are not taken with a meal, preferably at the start of a meal. Some people may get stomach upset from taking B vitamins (there are many of them) on an empty stomach. Small doses of vitamin C can be fine away from food, but larger doses would be best in the buffered format. Since the B vitamins and vitamin C are water-soluble, they will be excreted more readily than the fat-soluble ones, so they can be taken a few times daily in modest amounts.

Vitamin D is an interesting one. If we are thinking of paralleling our hormonal physiology with the diurnal rhythm, then it might make sense to take vitamin D when the sun is at its peak. One case study report showed highest vitamin D levels at midday. Same principle with actives that influence insulin and cortisol. Cortisol peaks early in the morning. Insulin would increase after a meal.

We also need to be thinking about the monthly flux of hormones in women as antioxidants in the blood are associated with hormonal fluxes. Furthermore, seasonal shifts, like vitamin D at its low in spring.

Always follow the guidance of your healthcare practitioner and how they recommend your supplements. This chart is for educational use only. These are generalizations; everyone is different in their physiology.

Wow did you see this today?

Fasting and vitamin C for cancer treatment, awesome because both are simple and safe interventions. The highlight is this:

“When used alone, fasting-mimicking diet or vitamin C alone reduced cancer cell growth and caused a minor increase in cancer cell death. But when used together, they had a dramatic effect, killing almost all cancerous cells."

Good news like this can easily get lost in the current state of affairs. Hopefully more research will be done on this!

Researchers have discovered that a fasting-mimicking diet could be more effective at treating some types of cancer when combined with vitamin C. In studies on mice, researchers found that the combination delayed tumor progression in multiple mouse models of colorectal cancer; in some mice, it caused...
