GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS AKA GMOs While it is always important to look at all food labels to know what you are putting in your body, it is especially vital during these times to keep your immune system functioning at its tip top shape When at the grocery store, and wanting to be there for as little time as possible, a very quick way to know if the snacks and meals you are selecting is checking the price lookup sticker... If the sticker contains a four-digit number, this means it is a conventional item (not organic). This can mean that it contains synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, if the sticker contains a five-digit number with an 8, it is a #GMO If the sticker has a five-digit number and begins with a 9, it is an organic product and you should snag it up! Happy *organically* eating and share this with your friends and family so they can be eating well, too! #eatwell #organic #organicfoods #wholefoods #goodfood #eatright #holisitic #holistichealing #holisticliving #holistichealth See more

SITTING AS AN EXERCISE? Try it out next time you’re working on your laptop or texting the squad! **Warning, in this position, your dog may think it’s play time** This is a great exercise for those dealing with #posture issues, #hunchback, weak lower back, tight hamstrings, tight calves, tight lower back, #sciatica etc OR better yet, it’s great for those of you who don’t want any of those things! We must be PROactive not REactive to your health! Much like the standing ...#founder pose from #foundationtraining this active stretch from #egoscue focuses on stretching your posterior chain, more specifically the superficial back line laid out beautifully by @anatomytrainsofficial Next time you’re watching TV or on your phone, pull yourself out from between the cushions and have a seat on the floor with your back against the couch Lean forward and scoot your seat back as far into the couch as possible so when you sit up your back has to arch to meet the backrest This will be slightly uncomfortable, but don’t let your seat scoot out away from the couch while you slowly straighten both of your legs one at a time until you’re in this position. IF you’re able to get both legs straight, then next you will PULL your toes toward you EVENLY so that your feet are still straight and not getting torqued out to the right or left/into inversion or eversion Take breaks in between, but try to sit up straight, sexy double chin with your arms spread out like me, and straighten your legs as much as you can while pulling those toes back towards you - don’t forget to breathe! *This last part is what makes this an active stretch, much different than just bending over and touching your toes

For those trying not to come out of this quarantine with neck and low back pain, make sure you’re sitting with proper form - or better yet make sure you’re continuously changing positions every 30-45 minutes or as often as possible. You should also be taking frequent breaks to do some of the decompressing, relaxing, and strengthening exercises demonstrated in our previous posts. You must SIT STRONG and have your back muscles hold you up instead of allowing gravity ...to curl you forward and squish the weight of you’re body down to the joints of your spine, which over time give little by little until one day out of nowhere you have back pain. Quick tips on how to check yourself when seated to make sure you’re sitting tall and strong with your LOWER BACK ENGAGED, arching stomach forward (belly-button forward) which will automatically bring your upper body up and back holding your SHOULDERS BACK AND DOWN. Feet flat on the ground, legs not crossed Sit with your bottom as far back in the chair as possible Roll your hips forward, sticking your stomach out/forward, so there is an arch in your lower back It helps to put a round pillow or some type of reminder for you to arch your lower back like I do in the picture AFTER you roll your hips forward, THEN roll shoulders back and down If possible look straight or slightly up at a monitor, but when on a laptop this is harder to do, so just try and keep your neck straight and try not to look with your head down. Here is a simple neck stretch you can do without even leaving your chair as a simple break between whatever its is that has you stuck at your chair. Grab the bottom of the chair with one hand and gently lean away from that side. Bring your other arm up and over to gently pull your head away from the anchored side Fix your posture first like we just went over, and breathe deep during the stretch Don’t try to pop anything in your neck, just sit tall as possible Turn your head left and right slowly during the stretch to stretch different areas of your neck. #posture #posturecorrection #rehab #rehabilitation #core #corestrength See more

Trouble sleeping during these stressful times will negatively impact your immune system, actually making you more susceptible to getting sick. Without enough quality sleep your body doesn’t release as many cytokines, which are proteins that target infection and inflammation throughout your body. Why should you start using essential oils? Well besides being, 100% chemical free, organic, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunity boost...ingessential oils naturally promote processed in the body the same way medications attempt to mimic in one way or another, but without harmful side effects. DM us with any questions on these or any other oils, or if you’d like to make an order and we can ship them to you! Serenity Oil Blend - Diffuse a few drops of Serenity oil in your bedroom, or rub some on the bottom of your feet before going to bed to help put your mind and body at ease for a restful night sleep. Serenity Soft Gels - For those nights you really need a good night sleep, couple the oil with the Serenity soft gels, which contain L-Theanine for improved sleep, relaxation, increased cognitive performance and gives a boost to your immunity. Clove Oil - Diffuse around the house during the day (add peppermint oil too if you’re feeling crazy) to avoid getting airborne pathogens and purify the air around you is Clove, which helps kill bacteria and relieve cough and asthma Breathe Oil Blend - Another properly named blend is Breathe, which is an oil with eucalyptus, peppermint, and Melaleuca which help detoxify the air around you in order to protect your airways from seasonal or microbes in the air. #sleephack #natural #naturalsupplementation #supplements #healthsupplements #gamechanger #doterra #breathe #sleep #essentialoils #doterraessentialoils #serenity #clove #teatree #chiropractic #chiropractor #lakeforest #lakeforestCA #orangecounty #OCchiropractor #health #wellness #immunity #healing #healthandfitness #organic See more

During these quarantined times we’ve all spent a little more time on our couch than we’re used to, but just like everything else in life, there is a right and a wrong way to do things including sitting on the couch. First photo: Notice how nothing is supported and my spine is literally like the letter C, as outlined in blue, which is terrible for your spine. Even if you’re strong, your muscles can’t support you because the joints are aligned in a way they can’t en...gage the joints take all the heat. Second photo: Whether seated or laying down, your neck and lower back should always arch backward to put your muscles in a position to engage and support your spine in order to hold your body in an up and open position. I recommend putting something behind your lower back as well as your neck in order to support the curve in your neck and lower back such as a rounded pillow, rolled up towel, or better yet, the CerviPedic pillow that adjusts to your neck and can be used seated or laying down.
