If you’ve spent any time on TikTok, in the gym, or reading health blogs lately, you’ve probably noticed one supplement popping up everywhere: creatine.

So, what exactly is creatine, and why is it getting so much attention?

What is Creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in our bodies. Chemically, it’s made from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. About 95% of the creatine in your body is stored in skeletal muscle, with the remaining amount found in the brain, heart, and other tissues, making it an important part of our body!

What is its main job?

Creatine’s primary role is energy support. It helps regenerate ATP the body’s main energy currency. ATP fuels everything from muscle contractions to brain signaling. When ATP is used up during physical or mental effort, creatine helps recycle it quickly so cells can keep working efficiently.

How much should I take?

Like all other supplements, the amount can vary from person to person. Think about when you are taking a vitamin or protein powder – you might not supplement the same as someone else! There are many factors that can go into this, for example, what does your daily diet look like? How much are you exercising? Are you taking other supplements?

It is generally recommended to take 3-5 grams per day for maintenance. However, for performance enhancement, doses can range from 3-10 grams per day. However, there is also something called the loading phase. Which is typically done to quickly saturate your muscles with creatine to maximize its benefits. During this phase, you take a higher dose of creatine for a short period, typically around 20-25 grams, usually around 5-7 days, before switching to a lower maintenance dose

Here are some benefits to Creatine:

Improved strength and power: It consistently shows improvements in strength, power output, and high-intensity exercise capacity.

Brain energy and cognitive support:
May improve short-term memory, mental processing speed, and resistance to mental fatigue—especially during stress or sleep deprivation.

Support for healthy aging: Helps preserve muscle mass, strength, and functional performance as we age!

Psalm 19:14
“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

This psalm is a prayer that reaches into the deepest parts of who we are, including our words, thoughts, and motives, and gently invites God to shape them. To seek inner transformation, consider daily surrender, scripture meditation, and honest self-reflection. When you pray this verse often, you’re doing something profoundly beautiful: you’re asking God to align your inner life and your outward life with His heart.

The Psalmist isn’t just asking for help with behavior. He’s asking for a transformation from the inside out. He knows that what fills the heart eventually spills from the mouth. So he brings both to God, the visible and the hidden, and says, “Make them pleasing to You.”
This is not a prayer of fear or pressure. It’s a prayer of belonging and trust. Only someone who knows God as Rock and Redeemer can pray this way, which can help you feel connected and secure in His presence.

God is our Rock: the One who steadies you when your thoughts feel scattered or your words feel weak.
God is our Redeemer: the One who restores, forgives, and reshapes what’s broken or misaligned.

This verse becomes a daily reset, a way of saying, “Lord, center me again. Let my life reflect You,” which can foster feelings of peace and purpose as you align your life with God's presence each day.

Here are some questions to consider…
What words have been on my lips lately? Are they building up or tearing down? Have my thoughts been drawing me toward God or away from peace? What specific words or thoughts do I need to surrender to God today? Where do I need God to steady me as my rock? Where do I need Him to redeem something within me?

Single symptoms may have an individual cause, but when there are multiple symptoms, in addition to neck pain or neck clicking, popping, or grinding sounds, then ligamentous cervical instability should be considered.

So many come into our clinic after being told for years that everything is normal, when it’s not! But, you don’t know what you don’t know, and more often than not, the neck is overlooked!

Indian food can seem a little overwhelming; you might think it has to marinate for days, lots of work. But this dish can actually be accomplished in about 30-40 minutes! We always find ourselves wanting seconds every time. This isn’t just your average curry—it has layers of complexity but invites you in with familiar, comforting notes. YUM!

What you need:
28 oz chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup plain organic greek yogurt
1 ½ tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, fresh and minced
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp Kashmiri chili (or ½ teaspoon ground red chili powder)
1 tsp salt

Sauce:
2 tbsp EVOO
2 tbsp butter
2 small onions (or 1 large onion), finely diced
1 ½ tbsp garlic, finely grated
1 tbsp ginger, finely grated
1 ½ tsp garam masala
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp ground coriander
6-8 tomatoes
1 tsp Kashmiri chili
1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 tsp salt
1 ¼ cups heavy cream

What to do:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and cut your tomatoes and onions into quarters. Add them onto a baking sheet, drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and roast for about 30 minutes (this is for your sauce). In a bowl, combine chicken with all ingredients for the chicken marinade. Mix well to coat all pieces evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to an hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator to enhance flavor. Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add chicken pieces in batches of two or three, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Fry each side for 3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside, keeping warm as the chicken will finish cooking in the sauce. Once your roasted veggies are ready, take them out and use a blender to puree them. When ready, add the puree to a saucepan with minced garlic. Then add in all your spices and allow them to blend together! Stir the heavy cream into the sauce until it is fully combined. Return the browned chicken pieces, along with any accumulated juices, to the pan. Cook on medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens and bubbles. You can add water if the sauce becomes too thick.

We'd like to share this story of God's hand in our everyday lives by our awesome nurse, MaryLou!

Psalm 121:8 “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”

There are moments in life when God’s care becomes unmistakably personal, reminding us of His constant presence. Recently, I experienced one of those moments.

After a busy outing, I arrived home and suddenly realized I had left my purse at the restaurant. Not just any restaurant, but a crowded, high‑traffic place where anything left behind could easily disappear. My heart sank. Every important item was in that purse. I hurried back, praying silently the whole way.

Nearly two hours had passed. When I walked in, I braced myself for disappointment. But there it was—my purse—sitting exactly where I had left it, untouched, unmoved, unbothered by the chaos around it.

In that moment, I felt more than relief. I felt truly valued and cared for, as if God's watchful eye had personally seen my need.

We do our best to be careful, but we are human. We forget. We rush. We make mistakes.

Yet God is never careless with us, inviting us to trust His constant presence and care, which brings a deep sense of peace.

While I was away, He was already there guarding what mattered to me. Not because the purse was valuable, but because I am valuable to Him. No angelic announcement. No dramatic intervention. Just a simple, quiet miracle: protection.

Sometimes God’s goodness shows up not in the spectacular, but in the ordinary moments where things could have gone wrong—but didn’t.

Finding my purse untouched reminded me to pause and thank God—not just for the big blessings, but for the everyday mercies:

• The things that didn’t happen

• The losses that never came

• The dangers I never saw

• The peace He preserved without me knowing

Gratitude turns a stressful moment into a testimony!

You know we love any fun national day - happy national CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY!

Did you know that chocolate comes from the cacao bean, which is found in the fruit of the cacao tree? Yep, you heard that right, FRUIT! The ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica, such as the Maya and Aztecs, were among the first to cultivate cacao and create a bitter drink from its beans, if you have never seen this process its actually very interesting! You can find videos on YouTube!

Contrary to popular belief, chocolate in its pure form is not inherently bad for you. In fact, dark chocolate, with a high percentage of cacao, offers a myriad of health benefits that may surprise you. Here are a few reasons why indulging in dark chocolate can be good for both your body and soul:

Rich in Antioxidants: Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body.

Heart-Healthy Properties: Consuming dark chocolate in moderation has been linked to improved heart health by potentially lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease.

Mood-Boosting Effects: Dark chocolate contains compounds that can stimulate the brain to release endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones, promoting a sense of well-being and happiness.

So, as you savor a slice of delectable chocolate cake on this special day, remember that chocolate, especially the dark variety, can be a delightful addition to a balanced diet.

Looking for an easy, low-effort meal that is still packed with flavor and goodness? Well, here it is! This slow cooker cashew chicken is so yummy! Our favorite thing about crockpot meals is that you dump everything in and then kind of forget about it LOL!

What you need:
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1 inch pieces
3 tbsp arrowroot flour, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup coconut aminos
3 tbsp ketchup
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup raw cashews
1 tbsp water

What to do:
Place the diced chicken into a 6-quart slow cooker and add 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour, salt and pepper. Use tongs to toss the chicken with the flour, salt and pepper to coat the chicken piece. In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, add in all of the remaining ingredients except for the cashews, water and remaining 1 tablespoon of arrowroot. Stir the sauce to combine everything together, and then pour into the slow cooker over the chicken. Give it a quick toss to evenly distribute. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Remove the lid and stir in the 1 cup of cashews. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of arrowroot flour with 1 tablespoon of water. Use a fork to stir to dissolve the flour and then pour into the slow cooker. Stir into the sauce, place the lid back on and cook for an additional 20 minutes to soften the cashews and thicken the sauce. Serve over rice and enjoy!

We are asked on (almost) a daily basis regarding our thoughts about Botox injections, and for good reason!

Botox works by relaxing muscle spasms in the jaw — especially the masseter and other masticatory muscles — which can reduce pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and myofascial (muscle-related) pain.

A significant number of patients (about 87%) reported beneficial outcomes with Botox injections for TMD symptoms, with many describing reduced pain and muscle tension. Multiple studies found short-term pain relief and improved function after Botox injections into jaw muscles.

However, the benefits are often temporary, typically lasting a few months and although research overall has promising results, the definitive long-term evidence is still limited, and larger, high-quality trials are needed.

There’s some concern (not conclusively proven) that repeated injections may lead to muscle atrophy and could potentially affect jaw stability or bone health in the long run.

If you are experiencing pain and discomfort, we'd suggest getting an evaluation to determine the root cause of the issue! Botox can mask the issue while our practice gets to the root cause of the instability and addresses it head on with regeneration!

Give us a call - we'd love to help find a treatment plan that is right for you!
