“Drink more water” is my answer to so many questions patients ask. I know, I’m a bit crazy when it comes to hydration, I’m always recommending it and always drinking water myself. I have a water bottle at the adjusting area, another bottle in my back office, a case of water in my car, and […]
How well do you sleep at night? Is your sleep cycle consistent or is it all over the place? Do you get enough REM sleep and deep sleep, or do you toss and turn all night? (Yes, if you are a mom of an infant we know the answer, yet you can keep on reading). […]
Some of my favorite things are the outdoors, mountains, exercise, chiropractic care, animals, family & pregnancy (yikes what I am forgetting?) and this past week has been an unbelievable combination of all of them. In the fall of 2023, a colleague asked me to speak at her retreat in Switzerland – talking about pregnancy, pediatrics […]
The older I get, the more I realize how important strength training is! While stretching and cardiovascular exercise is great, we really should be incorporating strength work into our lives on a regular basis. I have a 40-year background in running, triathlons and all sorts of races, with minimal strength training. There just wasn’t time […]
Oh gosh, personal, vulnerable post here…. it’s about something I’ve experienced the past several years, which has become worse the past year. I know many women can understand, it’s something many have experienced (or currently experience), especially as we age, and/or have babies, and/or exercise a lot. But guess what? It’s fixed, it’s significantly improved, […]
We’ve all been through a lot the past four years, especially during the challenging times of 2020 and 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant disruptions and stressors for many people. I traveled a fair amount during that time and remembering dealing with some ridiculous things during the “Covid era”. I just get moments of […]
Running is my thing. For more than 40 years, I’ve logged thousands and thousands of miles on the roads and trails. Running brings me peace; running brings me stress relief; running brings me joy. Just me and my thoughts. I can’t go as fast as before and I can’t go as far, but I can […]
What a month it was. I was gone 13 of the 29 days, practically half the month. The crazy month began in September when I signed up for an 8-mile running race with friends. They had done this race every year and I was always a bit jealous since it looked amazing because it was […]
I write this while I am somewhere above Europe, currently flying from Barcelona, Spain to London, England. The ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) sent me here to teach the Webster Technique in London, but first I got to teach the students at Barcelona College of Chiropractic in Spain. These are students in their last year […]
I love the holidays, yet I’m glad they are over. Like so many others, I fall out of my normal routine – I eat more food, I eat more sugar, I sleep less, I exercise less and I drink more. And I don’t like it. I want to return to the “old me”. In the […]
