Are you getting all the nutrients your body needs? 🌱
Most people don’t realize they’re actually walking around with at least one nutrient deficiency — and it can silently impact energy, immunity, mood, hormones, digestion, and more.

In Part One of our Nutrient Deficiencies Series, we break down what a deficiency really means and why it happens. From vitamin D and magnesium to iron, calcium, and B vitamins, these essential nutrients play a major role in how your body functions every day.

So how do we know if you’re deficient?
At The Movement Paradigm, we look at the whole picture through:
✔️ A detailed nutrient analysis of your diet
✔️ Comprehensive lab testing
✔️ A nutrition-focused physical exam to identify subtle clinical signs
✔️ Understanding your lifestyle, digestion, medications, stress, and health history

Certain groups—those with higher nutrient needs, chronic conditions, malabsorption issues, or pregnancy—may require even more support.

If you suspect your nutrient intake isn’t where it should be, you don’t have to guess. You can optimize your nutrition with food-first strategies, targeted supplementation (when needed), and guidance from a qualified practitioner.

Did you know that when your back pain shows up, it can reveal what’s happening inside your spine?

Over-hydrated discs often cause morning pain, while discs that don’t rehydrate well can lead to pain that worsens later in the day. Understanding the timing helps us pinpoint what's really going on.

And remember, radiating pain has stages. Address it early when it’s still in the buttock or thigh, so it doesn’t progress all the way down the leg.

Red flag: If you ever experience loss of bowel or bladder control, contact your doctor immediately. That requires urgent attention.

Noticing a pattern in when your back pain shows up? Please text 302-635-9220 to let us know what pain you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll reach out to schedule.

The benefits of red and near-infrared light go beyond what the eyes can see.

By supporting collagen, helping regulate inflammation, and aiding natural healing pathways, red light therapy has become a powerful tool in both skincare and wellness.

🧠💡 Did you know that gently pressing the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth — just behind your front teeth (the incisive papilla) — can instantly begin to calm your nervous system?

This subtle shift isn’t just about posture. It stimulates the trigeminal nerve, promotes nasal breathing, supports diaphragmatic function, and enhances vagal tone — all critical for shifting into a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state.

And that has BIG implications…

✅ Stability – Creates a foundation for core control and posture
✅ Performance – Optimizes breath mechanics and brain-body connection
✅ Recovery – Supports vagal regulation and inflammation resolution
✅ Sleep – Facilitates nasal breathing and nervous system downshifting

This is why tongue posture is foundational in everything from breathwork and orofacial therapy to functional movement and sleep quality.

A small action. A powerful effect. Try it now and feel the shift. 👅🫁💤

Fueling your body well isn’t just about eating more — it’s about choosing the right foods that support energy, hormones, digestion, and overall metabolic health.✨

If you’re training hard, feeling fatigued, recovering from illness, or navigating high stress levels, you may actually need more healthy carbohydrates in your meals. Carbs are your brain and body’s preferred energy source, and adding strategic, nutrient-dense options can make a huge difference in how you feel and perform.

Here are some powerful, whole-food carb sources you can easily plug into your meals:
🥔 Sweet potato (26g carbs per medium)
🍌 Banana (27g)
🍎 Apple (25g)
🍚 Rice – white or brown (45g per cup)
🫘 Black beans (45g per cup)
🍞 Sprouted grain bread – like Ezekiel (16g per slice)
🥣 Oatmeal (27g per cup)
🥭 Mango (25g per cup)
🌱 Lentils (36g per cup)
🌾 Quinoa (39g per cup)
🌰 Dates – 2 medjool (36g)
💛 Hummus (12g per ¼ cup)

Balancing your plate with quality carbs, protein, and healthy fats can stabilize blood sugar, boost energy, support gut health, and optimize nervous system function — all core pillars of movement and healing.

If you’re unsure whether you need to increase carbs, decrease them, or simply choose better sources, we’re here to help you tune in to what your body actually needs.
