We just received another great review on Google:

What's my advice for mattresses as we head into 2026?

Don't shop by brand, shop be retailer.

Saatva has completely upended the mattress industry by only retailing their own mattresses online, and extending the baseline trial period from 90 days to 365 days.

If you have an option to trial a mattress for 365 days and return it if you don't love it, then why would you do anything else?

If you find a local retailer that will honor this agreement with you, then go local.

If you cannot find a local retailer, then consider exploring Saatva, not because of their luxury brand, but because of their company's policy for you to love your mattress and solve the problem for you if you don't.

In case it matters to you: they are made in the USA. If you return your mattress it doesn't go to landfill, it gets donated. You do get free delivery and free pickup of your old mattress.

Saatva also has brick and morter in a few places around the US, if you want to try their mattresses first.

This is real, but it isn't a reel.

There's no photogenic doctor and photogenic patient mic'd up to maximize joint pops.

There's no neck being yanked by a strap.

There's no controversial declarations of if you want X you need to Y.

There is no one exercise. No one adjustment. No one single solution.

There's no implication that other providers are stupid or wrong to trigger arguments in the comments.

There is no selling one THE ONE TECHNIQUE TO END ALL TECHNIQUES!

There's nothing appealing here at all.

There's just a lot spinal breakdown, degeneration, and symptoms ranging from the annoying to the debilitating.

This isn't even good media because you really have to look and pay attention to know what's happening.

But if you do you'll see that there is change for the better despite the trauma, the age, and the arthritis and in one case, the patient starting her journey in the hospital.

All there is, is a lot of hard work on my part, and on the patient's part.

It isn't social media friendly. And it contradicts what many believe is possible.

It's not viral.

It's just real.

It's just healing.

And this is what it looks like in the spine.

What's the secret to jumpstarting healing in a pinched nerve?

Nerves can feel like fire, deep ache, like a knife, or numbness and tingling.

When there's disc problem in the neck creating nerve problems, time is of the essence.

We want to break the pain cycle without shutting down the natural inflammation response that will actually lead to healing.

The key is to be able to subtly shift the soft tissue and bony alignment of the neck without over stimulating the pain response.

The right combination of gentle, focused adjustments with the healing frequencies of frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) can be an incredible combination for recovery in a situation that can often end up in surgery.

It's groin pain week. Or belt line pain week.

Or is it actually the hip?

This can feel like a tough situation to solve, but it can be relatively quick depending on how deep the irritation goes in the nervous system.

Most people blame it on a hip...Or the SI joint.

But for many the pain that wraps around the belt line or into the groin often comes from the upper lumbar nerve roots—the small nerves that exit the spine in the low back. When this area gets “locked” into extension from poor posture or subtle misalignments, it can irritate those nerves.

They are the illioinguinal or illiohypogastric or lateralfemoral cutaneous nerves...forward nerves of the the femoral nerve of the upper lumbar plexus.

Refer to the images for what we mean by upper lumbar extension...The yellow line is where those red lines ought to be in a perfect world.

But it's not just misalignment or locking of the the midback meets the low back.

Postural tension from the abdominal wall, QL (quadratus lumborum) muscle, or even the diaphragm can add pressure to the superficial nerves, amplifying discomfort or strange pulling sensations.

Crunches or sit-ups can aggravate this pattern. So can slouching into a short backed chair, or falling and landing on your bum.

For some people this can even feel like ge***al pain. Not fun.

The good news? We know how to gently unlock this pattern. Through a combination of blocking techniques, light spinal adjustments, and precise soft tissue release along the nerve path.

We just received another great review on Yelp:

10/01/2025

* Should you wear a weighted vest? (This comes from our recent patient newsletter) -- More links are down below

This information comes from the Journal of Obesity in May 2025

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-025-01795-5

and is reviewed by YouTuber Physionic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIojfAWU9FA

It's a pilot study of 18 overweight participants, almost all women, and all around the age of 70.

They had osteoarthritic changes in their joints.

It's important to know this because these were not young, in-shape, athletes who experienced these changes in metabolism.

Participant change in metabolism is why I decided to highlight this information here.

They also didn't wear the vest as long as was recommended per day, and they still had positive response.

(Weighted vest wearing can also be called "ruck-sacking")

🎯 Study Overview

Researchers ran a pilot study with 18 overweight participants (many with osteoarthritis).

Participants were randomly assigned to:

Calorie-restricted diet only

Calorie-restricted diet + weighted vest use (for 6 months).

Follow-up lasted 2 years, though the vests were only worn for the first 6 months

🔑 Key Findings

Weight Loss & Maintenance

Both groups lost similar weight after 6 months.

At the 2-year mark, the diet-only group regained all weight.

The vest group regained some, but maintained part of their weight loss, even after stopping vest use.

Resting Metabolism

Diet-only group showed a ~200 calorie drop in resting metabolic rate.

Vest group maintained their resting metabolism, even 18 months after no longer wearing the vests.

Suggests a lasting physiological effect, possibly via the “gravitostat” mechanism (bones sensing load and influencing energy balance through signaling molecules).

📌 Implications

Weighted vests may:

Improve long-term weight maintenance.

Help preserve resting metabolism during and after weight loss.

Results are promising but come from a small pilot study, so larger research is needed

So, should you start wearing a weighted vest?

Maybe.

More than anything I was impressed with the age and health level of the participants.

And the effect of the experiment on their metabolism.

If they could wear a weighted vest around the house for 4 to 6 hours per day for six months, then probably most people could wear one for a few hours.

There's a lot of discussion by fitness influencers on the benefits of weighted vests.

Here is information with more studies, and usually the recommendation is not to read YouTube comments, but there is even more gold in the comments if you're interested in trying this:
