✨ Folate & Cervical Health: Why It Matters 🌿 ✨

🔬 What the science says:
➡️ Higher folate intake has been linked with a reduced risk of HPV infection, one of the leading drivers of cervical cancer. In large U.S. health data, women with greater dietary folate had a significantly lower likelihood of testing positive for HPV.
PLOS

➡️ Folate may also influence important cellular processes, like DNA methylation, that help keep cells functioning normally and may slow progression toward cervical cancer.
World Cancer Research Fund

➡️ Broad nutritional reviews suggest that folate and other micronutrients can support immune response and may be part of lowering persistence of high-risk HPV and precancerous changes.
Frontiers

🥦 Good sources of folate include:
Leafy greens, legumes, citrus fruits, whole grains, and fortified foods.

💡 Takeaway: While HPV vaccination and regular screening are the cornerstones of cervical cancer prevention, fueling your body with essential nutrients like folate — through a balanced, nutrient-rich diet — supports overall cellular health and may contribute to immune defense and cervical wellness.

✨ Nourish your body — science backs that good nutrition matters at every stage of life! ✨

Shared from another site, so we can't guarantee the accuracy, but a good place to start. Figured it was a good list to consider with Restaurant week coming up. If you know of other KC area restaurants that support local farms and ranches let us know.

For years, I introduced myself by saying,
“I’m Dr. Tobi from Jeurink Family Chiropractic & Wellness Center.”

And for years, that name carried deep meaning. It represented family, care, and the foundation of how I practiced.

But over time, my work evolved.

I began looking deeper—beyond symptoms, beyond quick fixes—and asking **why** the body was struggling in the first place. What I saw, again and again, was that no two people heal the same way. Real progress happens when care is **personalized**, not standardized.

That’s why today, I’m proud to share that
**Jeurink Family Chiropractic & Wellness Center is now Root Function Health.**

This name reflects a functional, systems-based approach to care—one rooted in understanding *you*. Your health history. Your exam findings. Objective lab data. Even your genetic tendencies. We connect the dots to understand how your body functions as a whole, then build a plan designed specifically for **your biology**, not someone else’s protocol.

We focus on restoring core functions first—nervous system regulation, metabolic balance, immune resilience—so healing can unfold naturally and sustainably.

Nothing about our heart has changed.
Our purpose has simply become clearer.

If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all care…
If you want answers that come from *listening, testing, and understanding*…
If you’re ready for a health plan built around your unique story…

I invite you to take the next step.

Follow along. Get curious.
And when you’re ready, experience personalized, root-cause care at **Root Function Health**.

Hi I'm Roo 🐾

I was born in Australia,
trained to run fast and rest lightly.

When my racing days ended,
Kansas City REGAP helped me retire and find my way to Kansas City —
not as something broken,
but as someone ready for a different life.

I was supposed to be Dad’s at-home office dog.
Naps were taken seriously.

Then Dad went back into the office.

So I was forced out of retirement
and reassigned as a comfort dog at Mom’s office,
Root Function Health.

I don’t really know what she does there.
I just know people arrive tired, sit down, talk, breathe…
and leave feeling better.

Now I nap on one of my many beds, hang out with Sara (she's the best), offer quiet company,
and remind everyone that healing doesn’t have to be loud.

Sometimes the best medicine is a soft place to land —
and a retired greyhound who understands rest 🤍

Love,
Roo
Oh, I also created my own page, shhhh don't tell mom I'm moonlighting. Check me out at Everybody Loves Roo
