🌿 Children and Screen Time: Finding a Healthy Balance 🌿

Screens are part of modern life—at school, at home, and everywhere in between. Technology can support learning and creativity, but it also has real effects on a child’s posture, sleep, sensory system, and emotional regulation.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts DPC, we don’t believe in “no screens.” We believe in healthy screens—and in understanding how a child’s growing nervous system responds to digital stimulation.

✨ In our latest blog, we explore:
• Why screens affect children differently
• How posture, vision, and the nervous system play a role
• Simple habits that support healthier screen time
• When it may be time to seek osteopathic care
• How OMT can help children regulate, feel better, and thrive

If you want realistic, judgment-free guidance to help your child navigate the digital world, this post is for you.

🌱 Research shows that even a short shift toward organic foods can lower glyphosate levels in the body — in some cases by up to 70% in just six days.

But we also know that in the world we’re living in, access to organic options isn’t always simple, affordable, or available for every family.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we honor the realities our patients face. Your wellness journey isn’t about perfection — it’s about support, awareness, and making the most nourishing choices that feel possible for you. Even small, accessible steps can create meaningful change in your long-term health.

✨ If you’re ready for compassionate, whole-person care that meets you exactly where you are, we’re here for you.

✨ What Is OMT? Understanding the Hands-On Healing Approach ✨

Most people have heard of chiropractic care or massage, but not everyone knows what Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is — and that’s exactly why it’s so powerful.

OMT is a hands-on, holistic treatment used by DO-trained physicians, like Dr. Starkman to:
• Reduce pain
• Increase mobility
• Improve alignment
• Relax tight tissues
• Support the body’s natural ability to heal

Using techniques like gentle stretching, pressure, and subtle movements, we look at how your whole body works together — muscles, joints, circulation, nerves, fascia, and even your emotional stress responses.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, OMT can complement your medical care for:
✨ Back or neck pain
✨ Headaches + migraines
✨ TMJ
✨ Pregnancy discomfort
✨ Sinus issues
✨ Pelvic alignment
✨ Chronic tension
✨ Stress-related tightness

OMT is safe, gentle, and tailored to each patient — including kids, pregnant women, and older adults.

If you’re curious about how OMT can support your wellness journey, we’d love to guide you.

Low testosterone (Low T) can impact everything from your energy and mood to your strength, focus, and overall well-being.

🔬At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we take a gentle, whole-person approach to men’s health—and one of our favorite tools for getting clear answers is ZRT at-home hormone testing.

🧪ZRT makes testing simple, accurate, and stress-free. With easy at-home collection and the ability to measure free, bioavailable hormones, it gives us a true picture of what your body is experiencing. It also looks at other important hormones like DHEA, estradiol, and cortisol, helping us understand the full hormonal landscape so we can create a personalized plan that actually works for you.

Why we love ZRT for Low T testing:
✔️ No needles or lab visits
✔️ More accurate hormone readings
✔️ Tests multiple hormones that influence men’s health
✔️ Private, convenient, and done at home
✔️ Helps identify the root cause of symptoms
✔️ Supports a customized, holistic treatment plan

If you’ve been feeling “off,” low-energy, or not quite yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to guess what’s going on.

🌿 DO vs. MD: What’s the Difference? 🌿

Did you know there are two types of complete physicians in the U.S.—Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) and Doctors of Medicine (MDs)?

Both are fully licensed physicians who can prescribe medication, perform surgery, and practice in any specialty. But what sets DOs apart is their holistic approach—seeing the body as an interconnected system with an innate ability to heal itself.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we honor the body’s natural intelligence. Through techniques like Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) and Cranial Osteopathy, we work with your body to restore balance, relieve pain, and support whole-person healing—not just manage symptoms.

💫 Experience medicine that sees you as more than your diagnosis.

🌿 Caring for Your Whole Self This Holiday Season 🌿

As the holiday season approaches, many of us feel both excitement and stress. This time of year can fill our hearts — and our calendars — quickly. At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we encourage you to honor your health by caring for your whole self — body, mind, and spirit.

Here are a few gentle reminders to support your well-being:

💆‍♀️ Listen to Your Body:
Your body communicates through sensations — fatigue, tension, or discomfort are invitations to rest, not signs of weakness. If your body wants you to rest, rest. If it needs you to get outside and run or walk-honor what your body is communicating to you.

🫀 Soothe Your Nervous System:
Take mindful breaths, enjoy time outdoors, or move your body in ways that feel good. Even a short moment outside with the sun on your face can calm the mind and support immunity functions.

🥗 Nourish Yourself with Intention:
Enjoy your favorite holiday foods with presence and gratitude. Focus on how what you eat makes you feel, not on perfection.

💬 Protect Your Boundaries:
It’s okay to set boundaries or say no to extra commitments. Creating space for yourself helps you show up with genuine joy when it matters most.

🕊️ Allow Time to Journal and Move Through Emotions:
The holidays can stir memories and emotions — both joyful and heavy. Give yourself permission to write, reflect, and feel. Journaling helps release what’s been held inside, offering clarity and peace to the mind and body.

💤 Rest and Reconnect:
Prioritize sleep, stillness, and moments of quiet reflection. Healing happens when the body feels safe and supported.

✨ As we move through this season, may you remember that wellness isn’t about doing more — it’s about being present with yourself.

Your team at Osteopathic Healing Arts is here to support you through every season of life. 💛
