I Love Finding Reasons to Celebrate - so this month I've got 2!!

Staying positive as Covid isolation stretches on can get challenging... so I welcomed to opportunities to celebrate.

One was to join my world-wide colleagues in recognizing World Spine Day (complete with some recommendations) and the other was to absorb some useful mindset refocusing at an online conference.

I shared both with you in this month's newsletter!

Keep Moving Forward🏃🏃 - And Back to Work 👏👏

In this month's newsletter I get to talk about getting stuck (scary!) and moving forward (returning to regular chiropractic/wellness care can be scary in these 'new normal' times too).
Let me tell you how I'm putting my and patients' minds at ease with old habits and new protocols.

Happy March 75th - Staying (Positively) Home

It's hard to quickly adapt to a 'new normal'. I'm figuring it out day-by-day and sharing some thoughts in this month's newsletter of what I've learned along the way.

Happy March 75th - Staying (Positively) Home - https://mailchi.mp/35fae57b4d4d/happy-march-75th-staying-positively-home

I've found over this period of 'Distancing' that it's been hard not to binge - out of boredom if nothing else. With unwanted excess time on my hands, and encouragement to restrict outside distractions as much as possible, it's hard to resist over-indulging. You'd be justified in thinking that the...

Proud to know this man. Love his explanations.

I know you’re all sick of seeing pet posts on Facebook right now but:

1) he’s brand new!!!! (and oh so cute!) Yesterday was his 9 wk birthday and today marks 1 wk with us

2) he represents a lesson - even when times get challenging we should all be looking for a Triple Win:
a win for ourselves (he’s brought joy and levity into my ‘distancing’ home)
a win for the other (can’t think of a kitten who’s being more spoiled than this guy right now)
a win for community (one less mouth to feed at the situationally stressed rescue he came from)

An important Viral Question - Is a Zebra Black with White Stripes or White with Black Stripes? - Dr. Blumberg

As the reality of being a Chiropractor in this time of social-isolation set in (I've discontinued in-person visits for now), I took some time to put the thoughts I've been sharing with my own family (that now more than ever we need to move into planned wellness self-care, that mindset matters A LOT, that we need to listen care-fully, and that I still have healthy trust) into a blog post to share with all of you.
Hope it helps!

Reach out if you need me!

Let me start with the abundantly obvious – I am not an infectious disease expert. No pretenses here – I am NOT an infectious disease expert (although it feels like the media’s trying to encourage us all to quickly become one). I am not an infectious disease expert! What I am, is someone who’...

Yes, with Coronavirus incidences rising in our community, it's important to avoid germs via proper hand washing and hygiene protocols.

But it's also important to remember that we can't be good hosts for those viruses either. Make them unwelcome by keeping your energy up (and positive), staying well nourished, well rested and well supported.

If the support you need is Wellness care without the Waiting Room, I invite you to contact me. about my Mostly Mobile Chiropractic practice. I bring clinic-quality care to your home or workplace.

One body with 3 brains - the head brain, the heart brain, and the gut brain - that all function independently + work together to keep us feeling and functioning well. The body is an amazing and complicated thing!

I am soooo ready to spring forward tomorrow night!
Lost: 1 hour of sleep
Gained: spring on the doorstep, daylight when I wake, fresh starts waiting to bloom
Bring it on!!

Just back from a ‘recharge’. It worked! Look out world, here I come!!
What little or big things do you do to pour into your energy/inspiration cup?

There are many ways to disrupt the nervous system. They fall under 3 categories: Trauma (major like a car accident or minor and repetitive like bad posture), Toxins (from what we eat, drink and breath), and Thought (yes - sustained stress, worry or negativity affect the brain-body connection)

Can you feel the love tonigh... errr... this weekend?

On the eve of the first long weekend of a new decade, when we celebrate romantic love and the love in our families, I opened my heart to share that I'm verging on 'just not that into it', how I intend to shift my energy/enthusiasm, and many things heart and love-language related.

Let me know if you can relate? Are you 'all in' to the spirit of this season? What are your holiday plans??

While we're talking about old songs (is anyone but me humming a '90's Elton John classic?), I might as well double-down and confess that I feel 'unnnder pressssure' to feel and act a certain way this weekend. This weekend, proclamations of romantic love are meant to proceed declarations of family-...

I spent some of this week learning about "Generation C" - and I have to say... I'm a bit scared for the impact this tech-using posture is having on developing spines, eyes, brains...

Are you seeing kids that look like this in your world too?

Thank-full... a great way to keep your Tank Full

This month's Newsletter was all about the way being Thank-Full affects how we feel and how we heal. It's a highlight of this time of year but is a good-for-you fall-back (see what I did there? A little autumn mom-joke...) to use the whole year through.

Besides pumpkin spice, this time of year is about finding the good and expressing thanks for it - so we all indulge (yay!). But when it's over, many of us turn back to the negative-news and the upcoming holiday frenetic stress - and we all indulge (boo!) These 'diets' energetically feed and fill ...

Ice or heat?

If the injury has just happened, I'm usually going to recommend you ICE IT (sorry to those who hate cold).

A fresh injury will likely swell as the body rushes to try to protect it and accumulate building-blocks of repair close to the injury site. Cold will cause blood vessels to constrict, limiting the swelling, while heat (while it might feel good initially) will cause dilation of those same vessels, therefore increasing swelling and making you more uncomfortable in the long run.

I can't believe it! The CNE opens tomorrow 😭😃. It's been years since I've been in school but this day will always make me anxious that summer's over... but I love the fair!

Will you be going? What's your favourite must-do CNE activity (THE FOOD BUILDING!!)? Are you just a bit sad that EX time is here?

Up to 85% of students report backpack related discomfort sometime in their school career.

1. In the most recent edition of the International Classification of Diseases, the WHO now recognizes BURNOUT as a legitimate medical diagnosis.

2. A new US state law now allows students to take MENTAL HEALTH DAYS, starting a trend that's sure to show up in our schools soon.

Why do you think stress is getting so out of hand? Why is it making us feel sick?

We know that maintaining proper pH in a swimming pool is essential to keeping it comfortable and 'healthy'.

Maintaining proper pH in your body is even more important because it keeps you comfortable, healthy... and ALIVE.
Eat lots of fruits and veggies (alkaline foods) and limit meat, grains, and nuts (acidic foods) to keep feeling and functioning well.

"For every inch of forward head posture, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional 10 pounds"

That's not the kind of weight lifting I want to add to my routine as I spend the day working on my laptop.

Is it helpful/hurtful to crack your own knuckles or back?

Nope (but it can become an annoying habit).
If you're not doing it 'compulsively' frequently, there's neither harm nor benefit to self-cracking a joint. The noise is just gas being released from the quick movement of the joint and won't cause arthritis as some fear. But (for back cracking) you're most likely moving an easy-to-move joint adjacent to the 'stuck' one, thus not relieving the problem joint itself.

This morning was so busy that I forgot to take a picture of this chair piled high with camp supplies.
For 2 weeks my little nest will be empty as the kids explore Canada's magnificent wilderness.
I'm feeling so many things - excited, sad, anxious, disoriented...by the time I process all this they'll surely be back!
Can anyone relate??

Notice what's missing from this definition of Chiropractic... the mention of disease. Focus on what you want - heath, vitality and more living in your life!!

Do you agree that B.J., The Developer of Chiropractic, had it right?

We all know of the inherent costs attributed to absenteeism due to physical pain or stress. But what about the new phenomenon of Presenteeism - showing up more than you should, or when you really need time to rebuild wellness? Is this a 'cost' we need to be considering? Are you guilty of being present when you shouldn't?
