People want to know – what does it take to be healthy? What habits and behaviors are likely to lead to more vitality? How do we avoid getting sick, and spend more of our time being well?
There are three basic steps each of us can take to walk the path of good health.
First, we need to learn to eat right. Providing quality fuel for this human machine is critical in maintaining and developing the best health possible. While there are many styles of good eating, there are a few simple guidelines we must all respect:
- eat enough but not too much
- stick with fresh whole foods over processed foods
- avoid toxic substances like preservatives, food additives and colorings
- strike a proper balance between proteins, fats and carbohydrates
- drink water
- supplement with vitamins and minerals from natural sources
Second, we need to think right, creating a healthy mindset that helps us deal with the stresses of our lives effectively. Developing supportive self-talk, practicing meditation or just quiet introspection, and sleeping sufficiently can lead to a better attitude and more happiness.
Third, we need to move right, through appropriate exercise, proper breathing, good posture and maintaining your structure and nerve system with chiropractic care. Including yoga, stretching or martial arts helps to create balance and coordination.
Addressing these three basic needs, eating right, thinking right, and moving right, will lead to a better quality of life with less illness and more productive time throughout your life. Take the responsibility to notice where you could improve, and make good decisions to enhance your lifestyle – it will pay off for you, as it has for millions of people who are adopting the wellness way of life.

Dear Patient and Friend,
You probably hear about the chiropractic wellness lifestyle when you visit Dr Wendy’s office – what is it, and how does it help you and your family?
The chiropractic wellness lifestyle is a series of decisions you make and actions you take to improve your health and enjoy life more.
The chiropractic wellness lifestyle invites you to:
- Eat healthfully. Eating organic foods that are not full of pesticides, toxins and hormones and whole foods (foods that have no or minimal processing) is a smart decision savvy health consumers make. Find the right rhythm for your meals — some prefer three squares, though modern food scientists frequently recommend smaller meals at closer intervals. Eat a healthy breakfast every day. Exclude heavily processed foods, like “enriched” flour, sugars, artificial sweeteners, and especially aspartame, a known cancer-causing nerve poison, and take nutritional supplements as needed (ask Drs Wendy and Analisa for their opinion about how to eat more healthfully.)
- Exercise. Actively participate in the rehabilitation and strengthening of the body to support repair and maintain your ability to do what you like. You’ll reduce the tendency to be injured, and bounce back from injuries more quickly. Your chiropractor can help you select the right physical activity to fit your age and body type.
- Maintain a positive attitude and optimistic thinking. Adopt a happy mindset, and practice constructive habits like reading, meditating, visualizing, reviewing your goals, associating with people who support your dreams, engaging wholeheartedly in whatever form of spirituality you prefer.
- Get periodic chiropractic examinations and adjustments when necessary for yourself and your family. Good food, proper exercise and a great mental attitude will be helpful in any case, but regular chiropractic care is the “X-factor” that helps you get the most out of these other health and wellness practices. Getting your spine and nerve system healthier improves every aspect of your body function, and paves the way for you to move toward wellness.
Deciding to follow simple guidelines like these will not only make you feel better, it will help you live longer and get more out of life. Choose the chiropractic wellness lifestyle – you and your family will improve your quality of life, and feel better overall, too.

Dear Patient and Friend-
Most people, when asked if they are healthy, usually respond based on the presence or absence of symptoms, as if having symptoms means they are sick, and not having symptoms means they are well.
This is a common misconception, fed by the media, by many doctors, and by the giant businesses that thrive on selling drugs and other symptom-removal products.
Actually, while there is a place for this line of thinking, modern-day health consumers realize that they can be sick and have no symptoms, like when someone feels fine but quietly has a serious disease like cancer or heart disease, or when someone experiences pain while not suffering any serious malady, like when you stub your toe or get a splinter.
The way you feel does provide some valuable information, but it is hardly the determining factor as to your level of health. It’s important to understand this in order to know how to properly care for yourself and your family and which kind of care to seek when you need it.
That’s why knowledgeable health consumers develop relationships with health and wellness advisors, to learn about their body function and understand their health status. It’s not foolproof, but it’s better to get regular examinations of your teeth, eyes, skin, heart, spine and nerve system, to be sure you are staying on course and picking up on any deviations from normal before they turn into something unpleasant or dangerous.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, ask Dr Wendy how she can advise you on the habits and lifestyle decisions that lead to a better quality of life – you’ll be glad you did!

Dear Patient and Friend,
The Valentine’s Day season reminds us all of those we really care about – husbands and wives, girlfriends and boyfriends, and admirers from afar descend on card stores and candy-makers to come up with little tokens of our esteem.
But the best way for you to demonstrate how you feel may not be yummy sweets and heartfelt sentiments, as important as those things may be. True love means caring enough about someone to help them in ways they can really appreciate, like for example to help them improve their quality of life, their health and wellness.
Good health is among our most precious possessions, and you can make a difference in someone’s life by helping them to discover how to develop and maintain better lifestyle habits, like eating well, sleeping sufficiently, exercising appropriately, and including safe, all-natural chiropractic care.
Why chiropractic? Every day, we walk, sit, and stand in gravity, the natural attractive pull of the earth. There’s a constant downward pressure applied to our bodies, and as long as the mechanics are sound, we are designed to handle the force – our spines are arranged with curves that create a spring-like action to bounce with the movements of our bodies, and protect us from gravity’s effect.
But if anything disrupts that spring-like action, like misalignments or faulty curves, gravity causes stress and wear-and-tear on our spinal bones, which can lead to arthritis, pain, and other related spinal problems, including damaging or interfering with the delicate nerves those bones are
supposed to protect.
Common sense tells us that it’s better to take care of such misalignments as soon as they occur, instead of letting gravity injure us due to our own neglect. That’s why smart health consumers use chiropractic along with nutrition, exercise and other supportive lifestyle choices to have the best chance at longevity and wellness. It’s no guarantee, but it’s obvious that if you invest in your own health, it will reward you many times over.

Dear Patients and Friends,
When was the last time you got a check-up to see how well your spine and nerve system are working? Many people don’t yet realize how important it is to keep your spine healthy – it protects the nerves, which carry information to and from the brain so your body parts can work properly, and that’s essential for good health.
How can you take better care of your spine? First, be aware of it, and avoid doing silly things that may injure or damage your spinal structure. Bend your knees when you lift something heavy, and don’t lift things that are too heavy. Sleep on your back or side, not on your stomach – sleeping face down causes an unnatural stress on your low back, and also tends to keep your head turned to one side all night, which causes an unnatural stress on your neck. These stresses may not hurt you at first, but they can accumulate and eventually cause problems.
It’s common sense to take good care of your spine, but most people don’t realize that it may take more than just avoiding injuries or stress. The normal wear and tear, just from sitting, carrying things, and standing or walking may require that you actively keep your spine in good alignment, whether you have pain and symptoms or not. Smart health consumers include spinal care in their health and wellness routine, including massage, yoga, exercise, and of course, chiropractic care.
