I’m Pregnant. Why Am I Nauseated?

Posted by pencechiro

“Morning Sickness” is a common early symptom of pregnancy, but it’s not normal.

It has been my observation over 30 plus years of providing supportive care for women during pregnancy that pregnancy tends to reveal preexisting weaknesses in a woman’s physiology. In other words, many women have “weak links” in one or more body systems that they may be unaware of until they become pregnant. The extra nutritional demands needed to build a new human often uncover low or borderline levels of functional nutrients.

Allergies, Foods, and Inflammation

Posted by pencechiro

An allergy is a condition in which the body reacts poorly to a substance that is harmless in similar amounts to most people. Dust, pollens, specific foods, and animal dander do not cause a problem in a normally functioning body.

When evaluating the cause of allergies, I begin with identifying food allergies or intolerances. Continuing to eat foods we are individually and genetically incapable of handling will aggravate existing allergies or make us susceptible to other allergies. Our bodies can only handle so much of an inflammatory burden before it over reacts.

My Greatest Responsibility

Posted by pencechiro

I had my first adjustment when I was four years old. My parents wanted me to have an adjustment from the Chiropractor who had found and corrected the cause of my older brother’s life threatening asthma.

I continue to get regular adjustments because I feel better when I do. Our children have grown up with Chiropractic as their primary health care. They know if they don’t feel well, it’s time to get adjusted.
