Chiropractic Research I'm Reading - https://cutt.ly/Jexccvm - Maternal Report of Outcomes of Chiropractic Care for Infants. Statistically significant (P < .05) improvements were reported across all aspects of infant behavior studied, including feeding problems, sleep issues, excessive crying, problems with supine sleep position, infant pain, restricted cervical range of motion, and time performing prone positioning after chiropractic care.

Breathwork - With holiday season approaching, many of us find ourselves overloaded with stress. I want to start working on some breath work that will activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System (think calm, rest and digest). To activate this or shift our state to this, we want to focus on nasal breathing as much as possible. We want to inhale and exhale through our nose for a majority of the day. This can take a lot of work to shift your breathing pattern from mouth breathing to nasal breathing (especially if you talk a lot). If you are feeling stressed, take a minute or two and really focus on this breathing pattern (nasal inhale:nasal exhale) and you should see immediate changes. Next month, I will share some specific protocols.

Article I'm Reading - https://bit.ly/2C10krP - 'Why You Should Never Use Ibuprofen Again - Ben Greenfield' This is an interesting article filled with researched back info on the effects of NSAIDs and 7 natural alternatives.

App I'm Loving - https://bit.ly/2JCitjE - XPT Life App - the XPT Life App is a digital fitness app that guides you through comprehensive programs to Breathe, Move and Recover - all within the palm of your hand. This app is free but has a paid version as well. The free version is great and has a ton of good work/info. The breath work part is great and includes protocols for bedtime, pre and post-workout, anxiety, relaxation, the morning and more.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns,

Drew
