Fasting isn’t about restriction or punishment.

It’s a supportive tool that can help your body reset when done gently and intentionally. Start where you are, keep it simple, and let your body lead.

Attached is a video of Dr. Alex walking through an introduction to fasting. As always, we’re here for any questions or concerns!

This year was a big one for us — full of growth, transition, and fulfilled dreams. After moving into our new office this past summer and continuing this new chapter of our practice, we couldn’t be more grateful.

To everyone who has supported HML, trusted us with your healthcare, recommended us (or chiropractic care in general) to a friend, or even just followed along on social — thank you. We truly love what we do.

Here’s to 2026! May this year bring you happiness, resilience, love, and fulfillment. 💙

In health,

**Muscle tone isn’t built in the gym.
It’s built in the brain. 🧠💪**

What you’re seeing isn’t just a side plank.
It’s the nervous system learning how to **activate, stabilize, and control the body.

When vision (oculomotor), balance, and core muscles are trained together, muscle tone improves — and that matters for development, posture, coordination, and confidence in movement. Muscle tone is a foundation to development.

This is how we help bodies move better from the inside out.

🔥 Brain + Body Training in Action! 🔥
This teenager is crushing a plank while turning her head, hitting laser targets, AND counting by 3s… all at the same time.
Why? Because neuroplasticity and performance happen when we train multiple things at once! Coordination, cognition, and strength together — not in isolation.
At we help kids, teens, and adults reconnect their brains, build stable strength, and unlock their potential with targeted neuro-rehab tools.

We chose LMNT because it provides:
• A science-based ratio of electrolytes that supports optimal hydration
• No sugar or artificial ingredients

Healthy movement starts with proper joint mechanics.

In this video, Dr. Alex is adjusting the shoulder to improve functional joint range of motion. When the shoulder complex becomes restricted, it can lead to:
- Limited overhead movement
- Compensations in the neck or upper back
- Muscle tension
- Reduced strength or stability

Chiropractic adjustments help by:
✔ Improving joint glide
✔ Reducing mechanical restrictions
✔ Enhancing neuromuscular control
✔ Supporting healthier, more efficient movement patterns

Better mechanics = better mobility. Your shoulders work hard—keep them moving well.
