Mindflow Chiropractic and Wellness Center

I am spending some much needed quality time with my family and refreshing my energy with some time in in nature. I will be unreachable until I return to the office on 6/15. If you need to schedule or reschedule your appointment, you can do so conveniently online. https://www.mindflow.janeapp.com Next time I see you, I am hoping to be more refreshed and ready to tackle your problems!

Just a little cute reminder that spring is coming to a close. Aren’t these goslings adorable? If you are planning to get the vaccine, I do recommend a week of detox protocol before the first shot to minimize side effects and possible long term consequences. Since it’s a new vaccine, there has been reports of many unexpected and unpleasant side effects including some neurological symptoms that you probably don’t want to have in your life permanently. Most of my patients hav...e tolerated it well with a protocol and detoxed it out with 1-2 protocols. As you know, each patient is different on what they need, but the protocol has been quite heavy to minimize detox reaction and still be effective. If you’ve already gotten it and would like to schedule an appointment to detox it out (I have seen that it’s quite tough on your own), you can book online at www.mindflow.janeapp.com. In the meanwhile, please, continue to practice good hygiene like frequent hand washing with soap and warm water, refrain from touching your nose and eyes, and sneezing or coughing into your arm (unless you’re masked).

I believe there will be more safety study on the COVID vaccine in the near future. COVID-19 RNA Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease "In this paper the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was evaluated for the potential to induce prion-based disease in vaccine... recipients. The RNA sequence of the vaccine as well as the spike protein target interaction were analyzed for the potential to convert intracellular RNA binding proteins TAR DNA binding protein (TDP-43) and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) into their pathologic prion conformations. The results indicate that the vaccine RNA has specific sequences that may induce TDP-43 and FUS to fold into their pathologic prion confirmations." See more

Happy Spring, everyone! I'll be out of the office and returning to office on 4/20. If you have an emergency, please, call 911. I won't be checking my e-mails or texts until I return out of respect for my family. You can always schedule or reschedule online at https://mindflow.janeapp.com/.

Spending the Sat in seminar updating my nutrition knowledge. I’ve gotten quite competent at building up the immune system, fighting the COVID naturally, and detoxing out the vaccines that patients are struggling with presently. We have been through a lot last year and even this year. If you’d like there to be hope in your health, come in and try out MFT to figure out how to find your health back. You are not doomed to your situation, environment, and genetics. I am helping my patients to fight back, and they have been doing really well. Are you in?

Oh, no I didn't. Yes, I did. Are you stressed and feeling the cabin fever? I am! I quickly created this video (and you can tell it's one take) to demonstrate how to do FAST PLUS that's based on NET that helps when you're feeling that stressful feeling. I've posted about FAST, but I don't know how many of you tried this at home. If you don't want to come in for NET session to get rid of some stress, then this might be the next best thing (I can still help you with stress ...virtually... Just saying.). I've posted in the comments those pulse points if case you can't see. Remember that stress can contribute to less than ideal immune situation. So let's do something about this! Please, no judgement. Yes, I need some help on acting, lighting, and post-production. (Maybe makeup, too.) #COVID19 #stress #NET #NeuroEmotionalTechnique #wellness #immune

Some of you may know that ocean waves recharge me. So here I am getting recharged so that I can come back in January and be the best doctor I can be for you. There is just something magical and wonderful about the salty ocean air and the movements of the waves. I hope you find some Christmas magic this week! Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year!

As the year comes to a close, I am working really hard to get all my patients in for care before I take my Christmas break starting the week of 12/22. I am slated to return to the office on 1/5/21. However, with all the travel restriction madness, I may be returning sooner than expected. So be on the lookout for an update! If you need a nutritional protocol before I leave for the year, I can take care of you and have everything drop shipped to you. I am trying my best to accommodate everyone's schedule, because I care (and if you backslide, that's more work for me in Jan!).

Guess who joined my team against #COVID? I have been eyeing this #Medify unit that features #HEPA13 filter since one of my patients mentioned it to me. Black Friday made me pull the trigger, and now it's here to filter out particles small as viruses at few microns. I'm in this office room all day so this will help me stay healthy as well. Enjoy the fresh air while you get your treatment! I will be running the filter every night. #airborneparticles

Who else loves delicata squash? It's full of vitamins A (who doesn't need this for winter?), B1, B3 as well as potassium, magnesium, and a little iron. This is perfect amount of nutrients to help throughout your winter season. Other winter squashes also boast such nutritional content. So eat your complex carbs unless you're #keto! But this is #paleo friendly and definitely #glutenfree! I roast mine and add seasoning and drizzle with a little maple syrup which makes it not #Whole30 but so good!

I made Lee Carroll's turmeric #paleo flat bread last night which I made with #organic ingredients and had to add raisin to it to balance out the bitterness from the Nigella seeds (great for blood sugar and blood pressure balance). It's perfect with the turkey curry that I made last night. The flat bread is intense with flavors, but it is highly anti-inflammatory and reminds me of a cross between naan and Persian flat bread. I modified the recipe even more with almond flour and tapioca rather than all chickpea flour. You can find Lee Carroll's recipe online! #glutenfree #guthealth

I love Lion's Mane, and here's why. They're really cute. But in all seriousness, they're traditionally used for gastrointestinal issues but now there are more research coming supporting their use for neurological conditions. I've been looking for a great source of Lion's Mane supplement (without the Whole Foods price of $8/box with which you'd need about 1 box/day for high level support). Third Planet has released recently their Lion's Mane product that I'm currently tryi...ng out. Please, read this article on how this mushroom product is just so wonderful for the gut-brain connection. "Traditionally the main application for medicinal use from East Asian traditions was for the treatment of chronic gastritis, gastric ulceration, and cancers of the oesophagus & stomach, as well as leukemia. Lion’s Mane was also valued for a variety of other ailments, including neurasthenia and general debility, as an antiseptic, immunostimulant, growth stimulant, and vulnerary. Interestingly, Lion’s Mane, when dissected, is visually reminiscent of a brain! Indeed, the current clinical focus is with neurological health." https://www.leecarrollherbalist.com//introducing-lion-s-ma #neurologicalhealth #health #immune #health #holistic #lionsmane #mushroom

I know I always harp about sleep and how important it is to regenerate your cells and push out toxins through the glymphatics for optimal brain function, but here's more research on why night shift may be causing shift in the circadian rhythm and how that leads to increased risk for obesity and diabetes. #sleep #whywesleep #nightshiftproblems #obesity #diabetes #wellness #health

For those who've been in my office, every once in awhile, I'm mixing herbs that patients often mention that they're like witches' brew. (Hey, just in time for Halloween, right?) In history, herbalists may have been called witches, because liquid herbs can be quite magical and potent. This post by Mountain Rose Herbs (great organic essential oils without MLM) depicts a great illustration of how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) compose their herbal concoction. I have use...d a number of these herbs (minus knowing the Chinese names for them). I put together nutritional protocols that would be similar in style to the herbs that TCM herbalists take into consideration. For example, certain supplements, herbs, or homeopathics may serve the purpose of just making the main therapeutic ingredients to work better (often you'll see me address digestion with all the nutritional protocol, because what's the point when you can't absorb anything?). We are approaching the flu and cold season - if we're not already in it. Are you ready to face the battle with the viruses? Don't wait until you're acutely sick to boost your immune system! Make an appointment to come in today for your personalized nutritional protocol. #herb #holisticchiropractor #nutrition #supplements #nutrient #nutrition #traditionalchinesemedicine #TCM #herbalist

I should be drinking this #organic vodka, but I'm using it as the base for my #essentialoil hydrasol spray. I waited over 2 weeks for my essential oils from @mountainroseherbs , but they are well worth the wait. I also made my own Thieves oil with their oils. Much better than joining a MLM! I am really excited to use essential oils mor actively and who knows? Maybe for patients if these work awesome?

Every once in awhile, I get an emergency call for an acute patient so I come in on the weekend. I package my patients' care with a prayer so that they are taken care of at home. The time when you are only feeling slightly discomfort is a great time to make an appointment to ensure that you avoiding 8-10/10 pain in the near future. Listen to your body, and it will serve you well for years to come. Take care, everyone!... #holisticchiropractor

You know it’s officially Halloween season when I put up the decorations. This year, I’ll be getting few weeks out of them instead of a week. Come in and check them out.

With all this talk of vitamin D, have you ever thought about vitamin D toxicity? Well, great news is that it is quite rare. Most of my patients have hovered around 10-20, and I'd like to ideally see the level at around 50. This level, unfortunately, has been quite difficult to achieve for most, because vitamin D is a hormone and the conversion to active form depends on how well your liver, kidneys, and gut are doing after sun exposure. And how many of us have perfection digestion, right?

For some odd reason, my latest post is gone. :( I've been quite busy since all my September trainings (I'm always learning something new!), and I have to thank all of my patients to keeping me busy during the crazy month of September. I have been telling my patients that I have leveled up in my nutritional training to help patients burn fat more efficiently (have you ever tried keto and have failed? ) and deal with the particulates in the air from all the recent wild...fires . I have also leveled up with on-boarding another emotional technique that takes NET to another level of understanding where your emotions have come from. If you haven't tried CEW, that's taking it to another level of root cause of emotional stress that will amaze you because it will seem like I am . So be ready to be upgraded to another level of health! This will transform you, because it certainly has transformed me into a better doctor! #HealthEvolution #Wellness #EmotionalHealth #NET #CEW #Transformation #ProfoundChanges

Have you ever checked your vitamin D level? With the winter months coming, this app keeps track of vitamin D exposure from the sun and supplementation to achieve your goal (aim for 50!). I heard that this app gets your blood level and your address to estimate how much sun exposure you need to achieve your goal. High vitamin D level also decreases your chance of severe COVID symptoms if you need a little motivation. http://dminder.ontometrics.com/

Hello, lunch! Much need nutrition after fasting. Love my #glutenfree fare from #AsianBox. #intermittentfasting

Anyone see the ash everywhere? I thought it was chalk dust on my mat during my CrossFit workout this morning. But then I noticed the ash all over my phone and realized it wasn't chalk (since I didn't use any). Yes, I did work out breathing in ash to my dismay. But I discovered this factoid today during study group to help detox out the pollutants from my lungs. Fortunately, Focal Evolve's Mindstrong protein smoothie that I drink after workout have broccoli sprout extract...s (and I also eat broccoli). Broccoli sprouts appear to have more of the phytonutrients glucosinolate, glucoraphanin, and sulforaphane than the traditional broccoli we are used to. Sprouts and Whole Foods carry them according to my sources in bags. "Broccoli sprouts are a convenient and rich source of the glucosinolate, glucoraphanin, which can generate the chemopreventive agent, sulforaphane, an inducer of glutathione S-transferases (GST) and other cytoprotective enzymes. Thus, intervention with broccoli sprouts enhances the detoxication of some airborne pollutants and may provide a frugal means to attenuate their associated long-term health risks." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24913818/ #lunghealth #airpollution #protectyourself

Don't you love it if you take something that does more good than you've originally planned? I am currently very thankful for NAC supplement along with a protein powder called MindStrong which has extra NAC in it. I was using NAC not just as glutathione precursor but to increase brain "cleanup." However, NAC double downs to decrease muscle fatigue and improve recovery. With increased workout and accompanying muscular soreness, this was definitely a great news for me. Win-win! #nutrigenomics #exercisenutrition #recovery #BrainHealth #musclehealth #NotJustForMeatheads
