You spend nearly 1/3 of our lifetime sleeping, making your sleep posture extremely important to your daily wellbeing. Ideally, your head should remain in a neutral position. When side sleeping, pay attention to if the pillow is too thick or thin for you. Check if the neck becomes side flexed when laying on your side. Ideally the spine should be in neutral or straight. “Head forward posture” which is a jutting forward of the chin, is becoming more prominent with increased cell phone usage. Add to that a back sleeper with more than one pillow, the neck muscles are in a constant state of contraction trying to return to their normal length. Being pro-active could save you from a real “pain in the neck” later.

Lost Childhood Magic
As adults, it’s easy to forget our childhood dreams. Do you remember the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny? These figures helped children navigate life’s challenges. Magic is believing before seeing, and faith requires no evidence. While adults might view them as imaginary, as children, they felt real and magical, making our dreams seem possible. Studies show that from conception to age seven is the most influential period in our lives. As children, we had faith in these figures because it was easier than facing the harsh realities of life.
Bioenergetics & Women’s Health
Every year at this time women are reminded to focus on their health, but in reality, women should be taking charge of their own physical and mental well-being every day. A good first step is to find out how well your body is functioning so you can target any areas that need assistance. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through Bioenergetics. This non-invasive computerized analysis determines underlying imbalances in organs and tissues that could contribute to unwanted health conditions. If an imbalance is found Bioenergetics can then help to stimulate correction of the affected organ or tissues to help your body function at its best.

Disability Tax Credit for Arthritis
During Arthritis Awareness Month, it’s essential to recognize the challenges that those with arthritis face, particularly in walking and dressing. These daily activities can become daunting tasks due to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Fortunately, the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is available to help alleviate some of the financial burden. As a DTC specialist, I assist individuals in navigating the complex application process, ensuring they receive the support they deserve. This tax credit can make a significant difference, offering financial relief that can be used toward medical treatments, mobility aids, and adaptive clothing.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
Studies have shown that the PEMF given off by the Earth is equally as important to human health as food, water, sleep, and sunlight. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field devices were originally used by NASA to maintain the health of astronauts in orbit. FDA approved pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) for multiple uses years ago verifying that it is a legitimate and safe form of physical therapy. PEMF Therapy helps receive chronic pain, better sleep cycles, improves digestive problems, and much more. To learn more about PEMF therapy, or to purchase your own device, or to experience a PEMF treatment, contact us today.

Is Arthritis Preventable?
You can’t always prevent arthritis, but there are a few healthy habits you can practice to reduce your risk. One thing you can do is consume more fish. Fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy polyunsaturated fat. Omega-3s have several health benefits, and they can reduce inflammation in the body, lowering your arthritis risk. You should also focus on exercise, which not only takes the stress of excess weight off your joints, but also strengthens the muscles around the joints. Try your best to avoid injury. When you injure your joints, you can damage the cartilage and cause it to wear out more quickly.
Workouts For Your Mind
Just as physical exercise can make and keep your body stronger, mental exercise can make your brain work better and lower your risk of mental decline as you age. Play games you are not already familiar with that involve strategy, like chess or bridge, and word games like Scrabble. Try crossword and other word puzzles, or number puzzles such as Sudoku. Read newspapers and books that challenge you. Get in the habit of learning new things like recipes, driving routes, or a musical instrument. Take a course in an unfamiliar subject. The more interested and engaged your brain, the more likely you’ll be to continue learning and the greater the benefits you’ll experience.
Prepare & Strengthen Your Immune System
Do you have an underlying health condition that stops your immune system from protecting you the way it should? In today’s world, you need a healthy body and immune system to protect yourself. Now is the perfect time to strengthen your immune system and increase your body’s ability to fight off infection. Your body needs to stock up on the immune-boosting essentials it requires to fight colds, flus, and viruses. Specific nutrients for the adrenals, spleen, lungs, and lymph nodes are vital to boost your immunity. Now is the time to give your body what it needs to prepare for the months ahead.
