Finding the Right Mattress
You will spend 1/3 of your life sleeping, on average, don’t you want to provide your body with the best sleep surface that your budget will allow? I’d have to say that “What type of mattress do you recommend?” is one of the most common questions I’m asked as a chiropractor. I’m usually hesitant to…

To Sit or Not to Sit
The average American sits 8 hours per day – that’s way too much. And it could be lethal. In a survey of 220,000 adults, those who sat for more than eight hours a day had a 15% greater risk of dying within three years than those who sat for fewer than four hours a day. …

My Holiday Season Intention
It is easy to accumulate an overabundance of thoughtful gifts this time of year; how many of us have received one too many fruitcakes, cookie plates or scarf sets? (Although delicious, I can say without a doubt I have eaten one too many cookie plates in the past.) I have new gift idea… it has…

Dr. Stephanie… Movie Producer?
Ah, the exciting life of a chiropractor… no really… sometimes it really is exciting! Last month, I was honored to be credited as an Associate Producer of a movie!

Sleep without Subluxation
Everyday activities of life can cause subluxations (misalignments in the spine). Misalignments are like cavities to your teeth, they cause spinal decay. That’s right, subluxation causes spine-rot. It likely comes as no surprise to you that sports, slips, falls and even poor posture can cause the small bones in your spine to shift out of…

Oil Changes
This morning my daughter woke up and showed me her arm, the small scratch from yesterday all but gone. She proclaimed excitedly, “My body really does heal itself!” To which I reply, “Yes, sweetheart, it really does.” At that moment I think, Gosh, my child of all children should NOT be surprised by healing. I guess it’s easy…

Over Monitored?
As I watch the bellies of our pregnant Crossroads’ Moms grow and hear details of their multitude of OB appointments, I have begun to wonder, Are we over monitoring a normal process? And in doing so, are we making things worse off than if we just let nature do its thing? After all, Innate is…

Innately Female
I’m reading the book, “The Female Brain,” written by Louann Brizendine, MD. I am inspired by just how INNATE being a female is! We don’t LEARN to be a girl… we are born that way! Acting and thinking like a female is essentially imprinted in our neurology from conception. Take a look at these facts:…
