Dear Steve,

DID YOU KNOW that a study from British Journal of Nutrition echoed our confidence in monolaurin as a natural antiviral supplement?

Researchers found monolaurin significantly reduced symptoms of a diarrhea-inducing virus by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. Moreover, monolaurin allowed for intestinal barrier healing and enhanced intestinal absorption.

Steve: A new study from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows us yet again that aspiring to longevity and quality of life is attainable when we adhere to optimal lifestyle habits.

The study examined an estimated increase in life expectancy among a group of 276,132 veterans starting at age 40 with complete data on 8 lifestyle factors:

1. Never smoking
2. Consistent physical activity
3. No excessive alcohol consumption
4. Restorative sleep
5. Good nutrition
6. Stress management
7. Social connections
8. No opioid use disorder

On the basis of 1.12 million person-years of follow-up, among veterans who adopted all 8 lifestyle factors, the difference in life expectancy was 24.0 more years for male veterans (average lifespan of 87 years) and 20.5 years for female veterans (average lifespan 87.5 years) when compared to veterans who adhered to none of the lifestyle factors.

Thus, there was a significantly lower risk of premature mortality and an estimated prolonged life expectancy. Lifespan increased incrementally as the number of lifestyle factors veterans adhered to increased.

While this is a subgroup of the population that has more impetus to make optimal lifestyle choices because of the stressors of military service, it still shows how optimizing your lifestyle habits can have incredible results.

The wonderful thing is that we are here to serve all of your lifestyle habit needs!

Bonnie: A 73 year-old female came in to see me three years ago presenting with a broken ankle and osteoporosis in her lower back.

She was consuming gluten even though she was intolerant to it. So we agreed that she would go off gluten until her next DEXA scan.

I also put her on a targeted supplement plan to address bone formation, resorption, and reduce inflammation.

Moreover, I suggested that she consistently perform weight-bearing exercise.

This month, I received an email from her saying, "I just received the results of my dexascan and learned that my bone density increased 9.1%. This is without fosamax or any other medication!"

In a chapter from “Chicken Soup for the Chiropractic Soul”, a mother’s six year old daughter was injured while at the playground. 

The mom was at work when she received the call from the baby sitter. The young girl was being spun around by a teenager when her hands broke free and she hit the ground. Her pain was intense and she couldn’t move from the neck down. 

The mom had a strong understanding of the power of chiropractic, so she called her chiropractor and asked if he would see her daughter. She then told her baby sitter to bring her daughter to the chiropractor’s office instead of the ER. 

When the mom arrived at his office the chiropractor had taken x-rays, which showed that nothing was broken. He then slowly and gently made little adjustments up her spine and into the neck with an adjusting instrument. 

The girl began to wiggle her fingers, hands and arms, got off the table and wrapped her arms around the chiropractor’s neck. The mom decided to become a chiropractor herself because of that incident.

It’s amazing what the body can do when there is a better balance within the nervous system. That’s why it’s important for adults and children to be checked regularly for spinal subluxations. Chiropractic makes sure that all systems and nerve signals are working properly, for positive changes to occur. What health condition are you ready to let Chiropractic care help you with?
