Happy Fall 'Yall!
It's Chiropractic Health Month -- a good time to emphasize the importance of spinal care. Misalignments in the spine from sports, injury and everyday living can impact the balance of every cell, organ, tissue and structural body part, creating dysfunction and "dis-ease." Chiropractic can help to relieve pain, improve range of motion, reduce spasms and promote overall wellness-- without potentially addictive drugs! Make chiropractic care a priority for you and your family!
October often marks the beginning of flu season. Good hygiene can go a long way to fending off illness: Clean all surfaces thoroughly during this change of season; be mindful not to rub the eyes or nose, or touch the mouth with unclean hands; eat healthy; consider supplements to boost your immune system and, most importantly, get quality sleep!
Young Living's Thieves hand purifier
is a smart on-the-go option to help ward off germs that can spoil your fall fun. Call our office to order your supply and inquire about supplements to support your family's health!
Lastly, a gentle reminder to make time to enjoy the beauty of the season. Take a technology vacation --unplug and unwind from the 24x7 emails/texts/DMs, and negative news to reduce the continuous flow of doom and gloom that can saddle the mind with stress. Being present and mindful, getting out for long walks on crisp autumn days during this glorious season of color is good for the body and the soul!
Yours in Health,
Dr. Keri Chiappino and Dr. W. Brent Reynolds

Protect Your Health From Everyday Toxic Threats!
It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month --what steps are you taking to safeguard against pervasive everyday toxins that threaten your health?
You try your best to live a healthy lifestyle, paying close attention to what you eat; reading labels, choosing clean, organic foods and exercising. What about your personal care products? Do you give them the same level of scrutiny?
Did you know that endocrine-disrupting chemicals and carcinogens can be found lurking in a wide array of products? It is estimated that most women are exposed to more than 500 chemicals per day due to the fact that there is no regulation on ingredients used in personal care products!
Check out
Dr. Chiappino's video to learn how to support your health naturally by using tools like the
"Think Dirty" app to scan for potential toxins in the home, and by making the switch to non-toxic personal care and cleaning products like those offered by Young Living Essential Oils.
If you or a loved one is living with a cancer diagnosis, we urge you reach out to us to learn about natural therapies that can help alleviate the pain, numbness, brain fog and other debilitating side effects that often accompany chemo-therapy and other cancer treatments. Call us at 631-265-1223.

Pregnancy Pain? Opt for Non-Drug Relief to Minimize ADHD Risk
A new British study published in the journal Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology supports two previous studies on the neurocognitive outcomes relating to acetaminophen use during pregnancy. Researchers from the University of Bristol found that taking acetaminophen between 18 and 32 weeks in pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of hyperactivity and attention problems in children, as well as the incidence of asthma.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, nearly two-thirds of women use acetaminophen while pregnant. The new study raises serious concern, as researchers surmise that the drug may
affect fetal brain development by altering a mother's hormone levels, or by crossing the placenta and directly affecting the unborn child.
Having a comfortable pregnancy is vital to the health of mom and baby. Gentle prenatal chiropractic care can relieve pregnancy-related pain without harmful drugs that may affect a baby's developing brain, and can help establish pelvic balance for optimum delivery. Contact our office to learn more about how we can help optimize your pregnancy naturally:

You Survived Breast Cancer -- How is Your Quality of Life?
For many women diagnosed with breast cancer, treatment therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy, often come with debilitating and long-lasting side effects, ranging from hair loss to chronic joint pain.
For women who are prescribed a 5-10 year regimen of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) to lower the risk of cancer recurrence, the painful toll on daily living oftentimes leads to early discon-tinuation of the medication, increasing the risk of cancer returning.
Adopting a regular exercise routine, a healthy diet and incorporating natural therapies like acupuncture and neurofeedback training can help ease side effects and promote adherence to cancer treatment plans that help keep recurrence at bay. Contact our office for more information.

7 Simple Fall Stress Busters
Autumn is when Mother Nature is at her fiery best -- a magical time of brilliant colors, cool nights and pumpkin spice everything! But for some, the switch from the carefree summer months, to shorter days, long, dark nights, and crammed schedules trigger "change of season stress," a form of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Stress is harmful for the body and the mind. Elevated cortisol levels, the body's stress hormone, can weaken the immune system, causing cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease such as Type 2 diabetes, weight gain and short-term memory loss. Adopting healthy habits can help ease stress and smooth the transition to the new season:
1. Choose the proper foods: Food is a form of medicine; it helps to bolster overall health as well as reduce the risk of disease. Choose wisely, avoiding sugary and processed foods. Fatty fish high in omega three oils like salmon, eggs, and pumpkin seeds are a good stress-busting choices. Add a sprinkle of turmeric on your dishes to help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
2. Drink, Drink, Drink! Being even slightly dehydrated can increase your cortisol levels. Aim for eight eight-ounce glasses of filtered water per day, increasing your intake if you are exercising strenuously .
3. Prioritize sleep: Stress causes the brain to be in a hyper-aroused state. Setting a regular sleep/waking routine calms and restores the body and regulates mood. Taking a warm shower, meditating and/or using essential oils are peaceful activities that can release stress and encourage restorative sleep. (Neurofeedback therapy is another helpful non-drug tool for those with
chronic insomnia!)
4. Exercise the mind: Activities that require thinking and problem-solving skills like puzzles can refocus the mind away from stressful thoughts. Reading, painting/drawing, visiting a museum or taking in a concert are other healthy outlets to relieve stress.
5. Exercise the body: Regular exercise increases oxygen levels in the brain and throughout the body, which is necessary for healthy brain function, and stimulates production of endorphins, the brain's "feel-good" neurotransmitters. Go for a walk, a run, or bike ride; try Tai chi or yoga (try a free 30 minute one-on-one session with our yoga therapist Sarah Greco. C
all 315-404-0965 for info!). Not only does exercise boost energy levels, it also helps enhance mood and reverse the effects of stress.
6. Soak in the rays: Step outside at lunchtime and spend 10 minutes basking in the sun to improve mood and energy. While you're at it, focus on your breathing. Rapid, shallow, erratic breathing is a common response to stress. Concentrate on taking slow, deep, breaths to relax your body.
7. Get a massage: Enough said! (Experience the healing energy of massage by booking an appointment with our massage therapist --Alaina White, LMT!)
It is estimated that 75 to 90 percent of human illness is related to an over-activated sympathetic nervous system. If runaway stress is derailing your everyday living, give us a call. We have a wide range of natural modalities to help you regain control of your life!
