100 Year Lifestyle Chiropractic Essentials

  • Are Americans Growing Smarter? 

        We’ve long been told to expect that aging inevitably comes with decline, particularly when it comes to brain health. But the latest research is contradicting that story. Instead, it’s telling a more optimistic—and more complicated—one. Are Americans really […]

  • Quick Fixes vs. Real Solutions

      In a world that sells quick fixes and instant results, it’s easy to fall for quick fixes, especially when it comes to aging. Whether we’re talking about an expensive wrinkle cream, a weight-loss injection, or even a pricey protein shake, these “quick fixes” often […]

  • Conventional Medicine Says…

  • Summer Colds

        Now that the warm weather is here, most people are thinking cold season is behind us. We tend to associate colds with wintertime—snow, scarves, and sneezes. But if you’ve ever come down with a cold when it’s 85 degrees and sunny, you’re not alone. The fact is […]

  • Living Vibrantly with Osteoarthritis (OA) – Part 2
