Here she goes again! Stephens Chiropractic and Wellness will be CLOSED on Thursday, April 10^th and on Monday, April 14^th. Dr. Andrea has been invited to her second XYMOGEN XPERIENCE, and will be attending the conference, titled “Elevating Brain Health” in Dallas, Texas during the above dates. Topics include: cognitive function, alzheimer’s, aging, autoimmunity, exercise and nutrition, inflammation and detoxification, brain and gut health, longevity and memory. The speakers and panel consist of Chiropractors, Nutritionists, Naturopathic Physicians, Medical Doctors, Nurse Practitioners and Fitness Hall of Famers. As you may know, brain health is directly related to Chiropractic, as the brain connects to the spinal cord (which is housed inside the spinal column) and controls the rest of the body, sensory and motor! We love continuing our education to help our patients and our community, reach their best health possible! As always, please let us know if you have any questions!

Everyone talks about the Immune System, but do you really know what your Immune System is? Let’s talk about it! Your Immune System is made up of different cells, tissues and organs that help defend and fight against foreign invaders. Did you know that over 70% of your Immune System is located in your gut? That is why gut health is SO important! Your Immune System is also directly connected to your Nervous System. Our bodies are naturally designed to keep us healthy, BELIEVE IT!

So how can you keep your Immune System strong?
1. Eat more whole, real and colorful foods. (fruits, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats). Consume less sugar, gluten, dairy, processed foods, and alcohol.
2. Move your body. (great for blood flow and lymphatic movement).
3. Proper sleep. (7-9 hours).
4. Stress management. (Balancing Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System).
5. Quality Supplementation. (Vit D3, Vit C, Probiotic, Zinc, Glutathione).
6. Green Tea, Lemon Water and Honey. And hydrate with plenty of pure water and electrolytes.
7. Proper hygiene.
8. Regular detoxification.
9. Natural sunlight.
