Regenerative medicine just got smarter.

We’ve officially added prescription peptide therapy to our clinical toolbox.

Peptides are targeted signaling molecules that activate repair pathways at the cellular level — supporting tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, mitochondrial function, and immune modulation.

Translation?

We can now more intentionally support:

• Disc and joint degeneration
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Osteoarthritis
• Bone density loss
• Inflammatory and autoimmune patterns
• Slowed recovery in menopause
• Persistent fatigue

This isn’t a supplement.
It’s precision medicine.

Every protocol is prescription-based, individualized, and medically supervised. We screen carefully. We monitor closely. We use peptides when they are clinically appropriate, not casually.

This is about accelerating healing with accuracy.

If your body feels like it’s not bouncing back the way it used to, we now have another regenerative lever to pull.

The future of healing is not suppression.
It’s restoration.

— Dr. Kristin

Back pain doesn’t have to be sharp to be meaningful.

One of the most common things I hear is:
“My back just feels tight… like it’s constantly on edge.”

That stretched, guarded, or “about to lock up” feeling is incredibly common—and in many cases, it isn’t coming from a major spinal injury.

What’s often driving it:
• muscles carrying more load than they’re designed for
• tension patterns after a small strain
• lack of core endurance shifting stress into the low back
• early disc or joint changes that don’t announce themselves loudly

When the body senses instability, it responds by tightening.
That tension is protective—not a sign that something is failing.

Where people tend to get stuck:
They stop moving altogether.

Unfortunately, complete rest usually leads to more stiffness, sensitivity, and fear around movement.

Most backs respond best to the right kind of motion, improved mechanics, and progressive support—not panic.

If your back feels constantly tight or guarded, an appointment at our office focused on corrective exercises, movement mechanics, and spinal support can help restore stability and reduce strain before it turns into persistent pain.

Your spine isn’t delicate.
It’s responsive.
And it adapts to the patterns you give it.

What our staff is prioritizing to stay healthy this flu season:

Being around people all day means we take our health seriously—especially this time of year.

Right now, our team is focusing on:
• Our Flu Season Essentials Supplement Bundle (10% off through January)
• Prioritizing sleep and recovery
• Drinking ½ body weight (lbs) in ounces of water daily
• Getting adjusted regularly to support overall resilience

No extremes.
No shortcuts.
Just consistent habits that support the body during a demanding season.

If you want support staying well this winter, our Flu Season Essentials Bundle is available in the office through the end of January—just ask our team.

January feels like a moment of alignment.

This month marks two years since I became the owner of Highlands Chiropractic & Wellness—and also the official welcome of Dr. Olivia Douglas to our practice.

Dr. Olivia trained closely under both myself and my husband, Dr. Eric Lander, during her final year of chiropractic training. We practice very similarly, share the same clinical philosophy, and hold the same high standards of care. She is fully trained in the techniques and therapies offered here and is ready to step in and care for patients in all areas of the practice.

Her addition allows us to better meet your needs—creating more availability, more flexibility, and continued space for thoughtful, unhurried care.

I’m deeply grateful for this community and proud of the way this practice continues to grow—with intention, experience, and a commitment to listening closely to what patients truly need.

More to come 🤍, Dr. Kristin

January doesn’t need another extreme reset.

It needs support.

I created The Nourish First Reset for people who are tired of plans that start with restriction and end with burnout.

Instead of cutting everything out, we focus on:
• adding nourishing foods
• stabilizing energy and blood sugar
• improving sleep and daily rhythm
• building habits that actually last

This is not a detox.
It’s not about willpower.
And it’s not all-or-nothing.

It’s about supporting your body before asking it to change.

✨ Wishing you a happy and safe holiday weekend! ✨

Eric and I took the bikes out today and were reminded of just how lucky we are to live in these gorgeous mountains. A patient recently told me, “life isn’t a dress rehearsal”—and I couldn’t agree more.

It’s easy to put things off for “someday,” but the truth is, our bodies and our health are what allow us to fully enjoy the moments we have right now. If pain or health challenges are holding you back, please don’t ignore them—taking small steps today can make all the difference in being able to live fully tomorrow.

Here’s to fresh air, mountain roads, and making the most of every day. 💙
