Brain Injury Awareness Month
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can change someone’s life forever. If you suffer from a head injury, you should see a chiropractor or physiotherapist/athletic therapist right away. Naturopathic doctors can also play an important role by: 1. Decreasing inflammation in the brain by decreasing inflammation in the gut through diet and lifestyle modifications. 2. Recommending specific supplements to support inflammation, cognitive function, hormones, etc. 3. Providing IV therapy, which can allow high doses of nutrients to reach the bloodstream directly. 4. Offering low-level laser therapy, which stimulates energy production to decrease chronic inflammation and support healing.

Preventing Noise Induced Hearing Loss
Noise induced hearing loss is a common form of hearing loss that can be prevented with the right precautions. Loud noises from traffic, construction sites, music concerts, and even everyday activities such as listening to music and watching TV can contribute to hearing loss. To protect your hearing, wearing the right type of earplug or earmuffs for your needs is crucial. Additionally, consider custom-molded ear protection specific to the environment, such as shooting/hunting, live music, motorsports, etc. Lowering the volume through headphones or earphones and taking breaks in quieter environments can also help prevent noise-induced hearing loss. By taking these simple steps, you can preserve your hearing and maintain your quality of life.

Shaping Reality: The Influence of Thought
Our thoughts have the power to shape our reality and ultimately determine the outcomes we experience in life. By focusing our thoughts on positive and empowering ideas, we are more likely to attract positive experiences and opportunities into our lives. Conversely, if we allow negative or limiting thoughts to dominate our thinking, we may find ourselves struggling to achieve our goals or feeling stuck in undesirable circumstances. This concept is often associated with the Law of Attraction, which suggests that we can manifest our desires and goals by aligning our thoughts and emotions with the outcomes we wish to achieve.

The Power of Touch
Massage can help reset overstimulated neurotransmitters in both children and adults, with even just 30 minutes of massage providing a month’s worth of relief. With approximately 5 million touch receptors in our skin, massages can release endorphins, natural painkillers that help us relax and boost our immune system. A 45-minute massage can also increase the number of white blood cells that defend our body from diseases. Furthermore, massages have the same effects on our body as 7-8 hours of good sleep, making it an excellent antidote to stress and health ailments.
