🚨 Weekend Snowstorm Update 🚨

A significant and potentially tricky snow event is forecasted for our area this weekend. Current guidance indicates the storm will arrive in two distinct waves, with the overall event potentially lasting up to 36 hours, spanning most of the weekend.

🌨 Storm Overview

First Wave:
Expected to begin Friday evening between 8:00 PM and midnight, producing approximately 1–2 inches of snow.

Saturday:
A lull is expected during the daytime hours, with occasional flurries and minimal additional accumulation.

Second Wave:
If it holds together as forecasted, the second wave will be the primary snow producer, beginning Saturday evening and continuing into the early hours of Sunday morning, bringing an additional 4–6 inches of snow.

➡️ Total snowfall amounts are currently forecasted at 4–8 inches.

⚠️ Important Considerations
• Temperatures will be brutally cold, with actual air temperatures below 0°F and wind chills in the negative teens.
• Snow is expected to be dry and fluffy, which will aid removal but does not eliminate travel impacts.
• Due to the dangerous cold, we are working to limit prolonged exposure for shovel and hand crews—especially overnight—to ensure their safety.

While the first wave Friday night may impact travel, accumulations should remain manageable. The second wave will be the primary snow event — Bundle Up, Cover your head, ears & neck!
SO BE CAREFUL!

Many times we get asked what’s the best way to recover from travel or moments when we find ourselves out of our normal routine. I traveled last weekend, slept in a hotel bed, enjoyed the great outdoors hunting and walking and didn’t eat my normal foods. This was how I hit a reset from my weekend.

First things first. I got an amazing chiropractic adjustment with appropriate muscle balancing to get my nervous system back in sync.

I fasted for 22.5 hours from food. This helps my metabolism get back on track by improving insulin sensitivity, stimulates growth hormone for better repair, increases BDNF for improved brain function and clarity and started autophagy to repair any damage.

I then did some light upper body weight training and got on the exercise bike for 35 minutes. The idea was to stimulate mitochondria repair and improve function to better fuel my body, helps mental clarity and brain function and of course improves cardiovascular health.

And finally I sat in the infrared sauna for 15 minutes. This helped me to detox, reduce any inflammatory processes and stimulated my immune system.

This is habit stacking for longevity. Simple steps. Daily and over a long period of time. Doesn’t have to be complicated.

🫀 Emerging Research on Vitamin D & Heart Health

New preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association’s 2025 Scientific Sessions suggests that personalized vitamin D supplementation may reduce heart attack risk by up to 50% in adults with heart disease.

In the TARGET-D trial, vitamin D doses were tailored to blood levels rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Most participants started with low vitamin D, and many required higher doses to reach optimal levels. Over about four years, those in the vitamin D group had significantly fewer heart attacks compared to standard care.

While these findings are early and not yet peer-reviewed, they highlight the potential importance of testing, monitoring, and individualized supplementation — not just taking a standard dose.

As always, talk with your healthcare provider before making changes to supplementation.

A cup of day keeps the a-fib away

200 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, scheduled for cardioversion, who consumed at least 1 cup of coffee per day for some time period in the past 5 years, were enrolled & compared to peers who either fully abstain from caffeine or stopped after their physician told them it would make their A-Fib worse. Patients all wore Apple watches with active ECG sweeping in addition to remote ECG monitors to track progress of A-Fib. All patients had a successful cardioversion & were monitored for reappearance of A-Fib.

Results? Contrary to popular belief, caffeine consuming patients had a 39% reduced risk for future A-Fib recurrence.

Awesome discussion from the study authors in comments on the pharmacokinetics of caffeine mediating normal sinus rhythm instead of making it worse: caffeinated coffee reduces blood pressure (diuretic effects), reduces inflammation (flavanol chemicals in coffee are anti-inflammatory in nature), and people juiced up on caffeine take more steps per day than peers.

IMPORTANT to note - consumption in the study was one cup per day! So this doesn't give you free reign to overindulge.

🌿 Supporting a Healthy Gallbladder—Backed by Clinical Research 🌿

Now that the holiday cheer is among us it's time to think about all those wonderful treats! Don't let the joy of the season get ruined with poor digestion - support your health with better digestion and elimination.

A new double-blind clinical study published in Nutrients (2020) found that A-F Betafood® can meaningfully support gallbladder function in adults at risk for gallbladder insufficiency.

✨ Key Findings:
• 19% improvement in gallbladder emptying
• 9% decrease in gallbladder wall thickness (placebo group increased by 7%)
• Better gallbladder contraction after meals
• No negative effects on liver enzymes, cholesterol, or inflammation

In simple terms—this whole-food supplement helped the gallbladder work more efficiently and supported healthier digestion.

If you struggle with discomfort after fatty meals or have a family history of gallbladder issues, this research is encouraging.
