We get so busy that we can miss what's really important!

One of my values is spending quality time with my family. I hope you have had time this weekend to invest in people and things that you care deeply about.

It's not too late if you haven't. Just try to take 10-30 minutes for something that brings you joy. And give yourself permission to plan this time regularly.

Enjoy being outside this weekend! It is good for your mental and physical health. It can be especially fulfilling if you intentionally include connection. This can be connection with yourself, others, and/or nature.

Let me know where you like to experience nature and who you like to go with!

Many of us were taught that eating fat would make us fat. We were told that sticking to chicken breast, steamed veggies, low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt, and salads with fat-free dressing was the healthiest option. But research has shown that this is simply not true!

Every single cell in your body contains fat, and your body cannot make several of the essential fatty acids. This means that you must consume those fatty acids in your diet.

People often do not realize that too little dietary fat may set them up to struggle with inflammation, fatigue, poor memory function, heart issues, depression, dry skin, and other unpleasant symptoms. However, you must have the right kinds of fat for it to be healthy.

Healthy fats help you feel full, stabilize blood sugar, and maintain energy. Your body also needs fat to produce hormones (this is especially important for my fertility, pregnant, and postpartum patients). Additionally, eating a healthy fat (like olive oil) with your salad or veggies allows your body to absorb more nutrients from the vegetables.

Let's explore the best ways to incorporate healthy fat into your diet in this week's blog, "You Need to Eat Fat."

Children may need chiropractic care because...

1. Falls, injuries, poor posture, and heavy backpacks can cause spinal misalignments that may lead to immediate or long-term pain, spinal distortion, or nervous system impairment.

2. Many children suffer from colic, ear infections, asthma, allergies, headaches, etc. While chiropractic does not treat these conditions or diseases, it restores nervous system function, allowing the body to express a greater degree of health.

3. Chiropractic adjustments restore normal nervous system function, enhancing the overall quality of life at all ages. Chiropractic has powerful implications for social, emotional, and physical well-being.

Amanda Gaffey-Smyth says, "Of 21,824 submissions from people who had accessed chiropractic care, 98.4% indicated that the child was 'much improved' or 'somewhat improved' after care."

As school begins, we might need to create some space for rest!

The first few weeks of school can be exhausting for kids (and parents). Some families find it beneficial to keep the first few weekends after school begins simple, focusing on time for rest, play, and reconnecting.

You don't want to go into the next week tired and stressed. So, do what helps you recharge and take some time to prepare for the week ahead. You can always have a "back to school" celebration the second or third weekend after it begins.

Going back to school can be exciting… it can also be overwhelming. Knowing that this time of preparation and adjustment may be hard can make a difference. Since an adult's calm can help set the tone, anything that supports you is supporting the children in your life.

Kids will sense your stress, so it's essential to remember to care for your own needs as well as theirs. It can be helpful to take some time for self-care after shopping for school supplies or planning school lunches, even if it's just grabbing a hot cup of tea afterwards. There is nothing wrong with reaching out for support or taking breaks when you feel like you could use some.

If your child is not so excited to be back in school, it can be especially challenging. It can be helpful to accept their feelings without trying to cheer them up or get them to look on the bright side. Then, you can gently express your confidence in them to do what seems hard. It might not feel like you are doing much, but sometimes just listening with an empathetic ear and believing in them is what kids need most.

We tend to show more patience with ourselves and those around us if we set our expectations realistically. This includes giving ourselves some grace as we navigate our own and others' emotions. It may mean lowering demands and creating space for extra rest the first couple of weeks of school.

Let’s look at some other ways to minimize your stress and set you up for success in this week's blog, "Beginning the School Year 2026."

My kids love picking out their own school supplies. They like to choose pretty notebooks and folders. Going to the "Back to School" section of stores this time of year can be a harrowing experience, though.

Do crowded stores sound too stressful? Try shopping online. Target’s School List Assist makes it easy. Just enter your zip code and choose your school - then your cart is ready! You can swap items to let your kids choose their favorite styles. It will be ready for drive-up within a couple of hours.

If you already have your school list, Amazon can be a great option. The kids can still choose their style, but it is delivered right to your door. Just be sure to allow enough time for shipping. Smart. Simple. Stress-free.

What brings you joy? Is it time with friends and/or family? Going to the gym or spending time moving outside? Doing a hobby or playing a game?

It is okay to step away from the many responsibilities you have to take some time for the things that bring you joy. You don't have to wait until you think you've earned the time for things you enjoy.

If you wait to finish everything on your list of things to do, you might never get to those things. So, what can you do today that will bring you a bit of joy?

Are you feeling hungry because you are physically hungry? Or are you reaching for food to meet an emotional need? There is no right or wrong answer here; it's just helpful to be aware.

When you face the level of stress our society tends to live with, many people turn to food for comfort. There is nothing wrong with enjoying food or even using it for comfort at times. However, it can be helpful to realize when we are doing this, so we can make conscious choices that we will not regret.

Leaning on food to meet an emotional need rather than a physical one is called "emotional eating." Most of the time, people do not realize that they are doing this. Bringing their awareness to this habit can help them break out of cycles that may not be serving them.

Let’s look at emotional eating and explore some strategies to help break the habit in this week's blog, "What's Your Hunger Saying?"

As a kid, it was fun to hide! Think of the many hours spent playing hide-and-seek. Or the amount of giggles that result from an adult saying, "Where are you?" even when they clearly know.

But, as adults, we may be hiding from things that are important. When we hide our heads in the sand and put off things we should be facing, it can cause a lot of stress. In fact, the stress of not doing "the thing" can be worse than the stress of doing it.

Is there one thing that you have been avoiding that you could do this weekend? A conversation you have been meaning to have? Something on your to-do list that you have been putting off?

Getting it off your mind might make space for something that brings you more joy.
