Traditional biometric screenings only examine data from one source, and in doing so miss 70% of those who will suffer a heart attack in the next 5 years by mistakenly mislabeling them as “low risk.” We have a better way!

Inflammation is a powerful immune response in the body when tissues are injured, helping infections and wounds to heal, and toxins to be eliminated. When it is acute and short term, inflammation is healing. But, like most good things in life, too much of it for too long is a bad thing.

Your body follows a pattern of mobility and stability that allows you to freely move to meet all of your daily, and athletic, tasks. However, if you have pain hampering any of your joints, not only can it cause problems for your daily movement, but it can also start cause even more dysfunctional movement patterns that will creep over to pain manifesting itself in other, surrounding joints.

To take control of your health, the most basic step is to breathe. Nose breathing is a proven scientific means within all of our reach to reduce stress. If you spend the whole day breathing through your nose, you will be using the most natural method of de-stressing that you have.

You’ve probably heard the advice “eat a rainbow” of food colors every day… but do you know why? Think of your microbiome as like a micro-bug staff that are made up of different experts for different jobs, but all working together.

Have you ever received the flu shot and wondered why it didn’t work?
