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 […]
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 […]
“Your blood levels are normal” they say, yet did you ask what they were? If the normal range is 50 – 75, and you are at 50.5, that still is normal, but is that something you should be concerned about? What if your numbers are 74.8, well that’s normal, right? This is what happens when […]
The great outdoors – it’s my favorite place. Hiking, running, walking my dog, being on the beach, riding my bike, walking with family – whatever it is, if I’m outside I’m happy. Nature is one of the greatest things in life, seeing the seasons change, temperatures change, the sun rise & set (though actually the […]
I wasn’t sure if I should write about this, since I’m mad, aggravated and sad at the same time. I’m also fairly private, there are certain personal things I just don’t talk about. I like to keep the office upbeat, healthy and fun. But Loka has become such a big part of the office, so […]
Goodbye 2020, thank goodness you are gone. It has been a different and difficult year. While the transition to 2021 is really only a day (actually only seconds), so many people are really looking forward to the New Year, imagining things being different if not better. But will they be? What can we expect this […]
Recently someone told me our office was like “a sanctuary” and I took that as a huge compliment. It is great to have a place of safety these days, a place where there are no mandates & no specific requirements. People make their own choices. People are loved, encouraged, and inspired; children laugh & play; […]
“If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” You’ve heard that before, right? That statement pretty much applies to me; I really love being a chiropractor so it doesn’t seem like work to me (except when I’m writing a newsletter or office blog!) Our office is like my happy […]
Are you someone who believes that “everything happens for a reason”? Or are there many questions left unanswered in your life? Do you see the good in people and are you enjoying life? Or are you struggling? Suicide and depression is on the increase in our society, and it really makes me sad. You see, […]
