Kids can be a handful. They are always into something or up to something. That’s part of being a kid! But in the midst of all the learning and growing, they are very likely putting their spine under some serious stress. And that stress can impact their health in a big way. That’s where chiropractic comes in. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Angela discuss the importance of getting kids in for a spinal check by a chiropractor from an early age for optimal nervous system function and biomechanical health. They cover the science behind kids’ tendency to ‘self-adjust’, the best age for correcting spinal issues before the spine ‘matures’, and signs for parents to watch for that may warrant a chiropractic check-up. If you have kids of any age, this one is for you! To learn more about this and other hot health topics, follow us on social media and subscribe to our WTH podcast.

The food pyramid was once the gold standard for nutrition in the US; but as research and observation over time taught us, the pyramid did not serve its purpose. Enter MyPlate in 2011 to reshape food requirements across the nation. Over a decade later, it seems that MyPlate – while closer to correct than the food pyramid – may have still missed the mark. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Angela dig in to the dietary recommendations from the USDA’s MyPlate guidelines. They provide a cautious review, arguing MyPlate makes positive changes from the outdated food pyramid but still promotes questionable advice on grains, dairy, fats, and beverages. As usual, they are dishing out a big helping of knowledge – pull up a chair! To learn more about this and other hot health topics, follow us on social media and subscribe to our WTH podcast.

In recent years, gut health has emerged as a key component to immune system function. A healthy functioning digestive system is a large factor in how you feel and your ability to fight off infections. And when the gut isn’t in check, you know it – you’re more likely to get sick, have less energy, and deal with other health challenges. That means giving your gut health a makeover could be the best way to revamp your overall health. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Angela discuss the importance of gut health and listening to how your body signals you through feeling and function. Dr. Dan shares his personal health issues in 2023 with extreme fatigue, pain, and ultimate diagnosis of Lyme disease and shingles. They emphasize the gut-brain connection, benefits of intermittent fasting, and the need to make health a priority with lifestyle changes versus just taking supplements. If you’re not feeling as good as you should, maybe it’s time for a gut check – and this episode is the perfect place to start.

Deciding to make a change is the first step. Sticking with the actions that make that change a reality is where the real work begins. The best way to reach your goal is to form the habits that support your desired end results. And arming yourself with strategies for making healthy behavior changes you can stick with is essential for success. In this episode, Dr. Dan, Angela and Riley discuss creating healthy habits that you can stick with overtime. They recommend starting with small changes in movement, diet, and sleep, and stress being patient with results while avoiding comparisons. The team shares how focusing on consistency with daily behaviors can help your body find a healthy setpoint, and emphasizes the importance of setting attainable daily goals rather than focusing solely on the end result.

The New Year often marks the time for making health resolutions – including heading to the gym.

Discussing how to safely start an exercise routine is a great place to start before you step back into the gym. Dr. Dan, Angela and guest-host Riley explain the importance of starting slowly and meeting your body where it is, rather than jumping into intense workouts if you’ve been inactive.

Ligament Instability is a buzz term in the healthcare field that patients are bringing to our office in search of answers. Ligaments hold bones to bones in your body and as you can imagine – instability would be an issue and can result in a wide range of symptoms from achy muscles to migraines to vertigo. But are these symptoms inevitable? And is ligament instability the only culprit? Many patients are being referred to our office by other healthcare providers because our motion x-ray technology is the gold standard for identifying ligament instability in the neck. But it also shows when it isn’t instability – but immobility that is causing the problem.

When there isn’t a clear cut reason for chronic symptoms, finding the true cause is the only way to find real relief.

No one wants to be in pain; but pain is not always a bad thing. Pain is the body signaling you to pay attention. It might be muscle soreness after a great workout.

Dr. Dan and Angela discuss pain as a helpful sensory input in the body, how to tell the difference between anticipated pain from muscle use and pain from an injury, and when to stop or keep going with your activities. Pain can be a great guide for improving your health if you’re willing to listen to it!
