Happy Winter Solstice

This day in Winter is my favorite and I look forward to it starting at the fall back time change. It is the shortest day and the longest night. Why do I love it? Because the days ahead begin to gain light. The darkest days are past and we are moving forward with light. The name means "sun stands still," as the Sun's apparent path stops moving lower in the sky before starting its gradual climb back, influencing ancient calendars and celebrations of rebirth and light.

“May the darkness teach us to rest, to reflect, and to release what no longer serves. May the light awaken within us a deeper knowing of our purpose, and the courage to walk it with love".

Have you ever purchased your supplements online and noticed they don’t look like your previous capsule?
I have experienced this myself! Ordering supplements online to have them arrive and NOT look like what I had previously ordered was an eye opening experience for me.

Dr. Watts connected me to this company when I started as a patient. She has attached her link so that you may also buy in confidence!

Let's talk supplements for a hot minute...

The other day a patient was mentioning how their friend gave them a bottle of Saffron to try for cognition; they got a deal online. Patient opened up the bottle (if you aren't aware, Saffron is as bright as Turmeric)--and the capsules were...white. They called the company directly, ultimately found out it was a fraudulent product. Filled with corn starch (I guess we can at least be relieved it was ONLY corn starch, but still)...

We have actually heard stories of this pretty regularly and many times they get a notice in their email that it was found to be fraudulent AFTER they already consumed it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you find a deal online that is too good to be true, that's perhaps the case. If the product is not coming directly from the manufacturer, perhaps have some skepticism. In this case it was easy to spot because Saffron is...distinct. But in many cases, many supplements are in a capsule, they're white, or can be fairly easily mimicked.

We offer Fullscript through our website which sources directly from distributors/wholesalers and is shipped to your door. We always offer a discount on products. They are HSA/FSA approved which is a great bonus.

Is there a conflict of interest here? A little, as we do get a small portion of those sales (and we appreciate that when you use our link, you are supporting OUR small business). But we can also sleep well at night knowing that patients are purchasing the physician-grade products they're supposed to, with the correct ingredients. I'll post our store's link in the comments (as you do NOT have to be a patient to purchase).

A fun backstory here. When I was in my residency/internship, a student on our rotation--her husband--was working with a team to develop something brand new: Healthwave. Healthwave started small, was ND supported, and has since become the tycoon it is: Fullscript.

Naturopathic medicine down to the ROOTS. Woo!

DID YOU KNOW about Frisson??

Frisson is the French word for "shiver" and refers to a sudden, strong feeling of excitement or pleasure, often felt as a "chill" or tingling sensation down the spine, that can be triggered by aesthetic stimuli like music, art, or a powerful scene in a film. It involves physical reactions like goosebumps and a racing heart, and it's associated with a brain response similar to those triggered by rewards and addiction, including the release of dopamine.

How it works
* Brain activity: Frisson occurs when your brain connects auditory or visual stimuli with emotional and reward centers. ��
* Dopamine release: This connection causes the brain's reward system to release dopamine, a chemical linked to pleasure. ���
* Physical response: The dopamine surge creates a "fight or flight" response, activating the sympathetic nervous system and leading to physical changes like goosebumps (piloerection), a shiver, and a racing heart. �
Did you know that under 86% of the population experiences frisson. And that approximately 5% experience no stimulation from music or art at all?

Welcome Everett!

Hi! My name is Everett and I’m an Assisted Stretch Practitioner who is teaming up with Dani to help our community “stay stretchy” as she says. My wife, Brandy and I have been married 25 years and we have two sons, Lance and Brayden. We can’t forget Shiloh our “velcro” puppy lol.

I’ve been a firefighter for 15 years on Toledo Fire which is how I came across assisted stretch as a treatment for aches and pains. That’s how I met Dani in 2018, who told me after my first treatment that I was going to be a bodyworker too. I didn’t believe her but next thing I knew I was taking my first class.

I started my journey in 2019 getting my certification from PPP (PainPosturePerformance), and part 1 of my SRT (SoftStretchReleaseTechnique). I finished part 2 in 2021 and have been working towards making my business, Ebb & Flow Stretch a reality.

A little bit about my practice;
I am a Soft Stretch Practitioner specializing in Soft Stretch Release Techniques (SRT)—a gentle, assisted stretching method designed to improve mobility, strength, and balance. Through guided movement and diaphragmatic breathing, I help clients enter a “rest and digest” state, releasing tension and restoring natural body function. My goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and live more freely.

I’m excited to meet all of you and help you to move better, feel better, and live better. I have immediate openings. Please feel free to message with questions.
