Fear is a bigger obstacle than the obstacle itself. “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.” Any new pursuit requires entering uncharted territory, and that’s scary. But with any great risk comes great reward. The experiences you gain in pursuing your dream will make it all worthwhile.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a driver of mitochondrial energy production, and improves the delivery of oxygen into your cells. It also protects against the harmful effects of lipid peroxidation. CO2 is also part of the “magic” that makes fermented foods so good for you. During lacto-fermentation, certain lactic acid-producing bacteria break down sugars into acids and CO2. The CO2 is what creates the fizziness in fermented foods. CO2-producing bacteria include Lactobacillus brevis, L. reuteri and L. fermentum. Like L. brevis, L. reuteri is well-known for its ability to promote gut health. L. reuteri also upregulates systemic immune responses, thereby promoting wound healing, mental health, metabolism and myoskeletal maintenance, and has been shown to have “antiaging” effects. All Lactobacillus strains also inhibit the growth of gram-negative endotoxin-producing bacteria through competitive inhibition. Endotoxin is one of several factors that destroy mitochondrial function, promotes glycolysis and, ultimately, cancer metabolism.

Chiropractic care through pregnancy is not only safe, it’s essential. It's easy for all of us to see changes during pregnancy... increased pressure on the spine and pelvis toward the end of the pregnancy and changes in gait pattern: the "waddle." What we can't see, are the millions of different hormonal changes and chemical reactions occurring both in the mother and the developing baby-all of which are controlled and coordinated through the nervous system. Spinal adjustments result in easier pregnancy and significantly decreased labor time. In one study, women receiving Chiropractic care throughout their first pregnancy had 24% shorter labor times than the group not receiving Chiropractic, and multiparous (having more than 1 childbirth) subjects reported 39% shorter labor times. In addition, 84% of women report relief of back pain during pregnancy with Chiropractic care.

Flaxseed is commonly used to improve digestive health or relieve constipation. Flaxseed may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol levels), which may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Ground flaxseed is more beneficial than whole. Sprinkle some on hot or cold cereal or add it to baked goods!
