Going back to the basics.
Eat whole foods, that comes from the earth. If you need help, let Dr’s Cardin help you with nutrition and cognitive health needs and concerns.

A study by researchers at University of São Paulo in Brazil suggests that high consumption of certain artificial sweeteners is linked to an accelerated rate of cognitive decline.

🔍 Did you know? Many doctors receive just 1 hour or less of nutrition training per year — despite the fact that poor diet plays a huge role in chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Did you know both Drs. Heather and Ralph have done extensive training throughout their careers in nutrition and lifestyle modifications to help you restore and maintain your health?

🥦 True health care should start with food, not just pills. Dr. Weil argues that nutrition education in medical schools is still way behind the curve and patients deserve better.

🧠 At our clinic, we combine chiropractic care and nutrition awareness—helping you align your body and your diet so they work together for health. We use the latest research to formulate the best approach for you and your individual needs.

🫀 Are You Taking Statins? Here’s What You Should Know!

Statins help lower cholesterol—but they can also lower key nutrients your body needs for energy, muscle strength, and hormone balance.
👉 Low levels of CoQ10, vitamin D, and selenium may lead to fatigue, weakness, or muscle aches.

🧬 Support your body naturally:
🥩 Eat foods rich in CoQ10 (organ meats, fatty fish)
☀️ Get regular sunlight for vitamin D
🌰 Include selenium-rich foods (Brazil nuts, seafood)
💪 Stay active to support mitochondrial and muscle health

If you’re on statin therapy, consider a nutritional and chiropractic checkup to keep your energy, hormones, and heart in balance.

Today, I want to take a moment to honor my sons — and the remarkable men you’ve become — for your service to our country. You chose a path that few take, one built on service, sacrifice, and a deep sense of duty. Only a small percentage of Americans step forward to serve, and it’s no coincidence that this calling so often runs through the same families. It’s a reflection of values — commitment, courage, and responsibility — passed down through generations.

Serving others is one of the highest forms of love. You’ve both given your time, your energy, and pieces of your own comfort so that others might live in peace and safety. That kind of sacrifice doesn’t go unnoticed — and it doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.

Military service is never an individual journey; it’s a family one. Your support, patience, and strength make that service possible. You, too, share in the quiet sacrifices and deserve our deepest gratitude.

On this Veterans Day, I’m filled with pride and gratitude. You’ve lived out the values of service, honor, and good citizenship — and you remind us all what it truly means to give of oneself for the greater good.

With love and respect,
Dad

🧠 Think fat makes you fat? Think again.

It’s not fat that’s the problem — it’s too many carbs spiking your insulin and locking fat away.
When you eat in balance (40% carbs / 30% protein / 30% fat), your body naturally shifts into fat-burning mode.

✅ More energy
✅ Fewer cravings
✅ Sustainable fat loss

It’s all about keeping your hormones balanced — and your nervous system in sync.

💆‍♀️ Chiropractic care helps your body work better from the inside out — including your metabolism.

🌐 Why Get Chiropractic & Applied Kinesiology Care If You’re Not in Pain?

Have you ever wondered what’s happening in your body before pain shows up? 🤔

Your nervous system is constantly firing — neurons sending messages that keep your muscles, organs, and brain connected. But here’s something most people don’t realize:
👉 When neurons aren’t firing properly, they begin to lose input — a process called deafferentation. Over time, those nerve pathways weaken, and your body’s performance declines… even before you feel discomfort.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore and balance this nerve activity, increasing healthy communication throughout your body. 🔥

With Applied Kinesiology, we can actually assess where those firing patterns are reduced — often long before symptoms appear.

And when your spine is stable, your body moves and functions on a stronger, more coordinated foundation. 🧠💪

So, chiropractic care isn’t just for pain. It’s for keeping your nervous system alive, connected, and performing at its best.

✨ Optimize your function. Strengthen your foundation. Stay ahead of the curve.

📅 Schedule your next wellness check and discover how your nervous system is really performing!

🦵 Struggling with knee pain or stiffness? Here’s some good news.
Recent research shows that a targeted treatment called periosteal & intra-articular electrical dry needling (PIEDN) can significantly reduce pain, stiffness and disability in people with knee osteoarthritis—even in more advanced cases.

Here’s how this connects to your health & chiropractic care:

When joints are aligned and nerves are free from interference, healing and pain reduction are more effective.

At our clinic, we combine spinal and joint-care through chiropractic adjustments and support for treatments like dry needling to optimize results.

If you’re dealing with persistent knee issues, this research suggests that consistent, specialized care (including “booster” sessions every 4 weeks) can make a real difference in outcomes.

🧠💪 Cholesterol: Not the Villain You’ve Been Told!

For years, cholesterol has gotten a bad reputation — but research now shows it plays vital roles in your body:
✅ Builds and protects your cells
✅ Helps produce key hormones like estrogen and testosterone
✅ Supports brain and nerve function
✅ Allows your body to make vitamin D
✅ Aids in digesting and absorbing healthy fats

The truth? Healthy cholesterol balance is essential for total wellness — not something to fear.

At our clinic, we focus on supporting your body’s natural balance — from spinal alignment to nervous system function and metabolic health.
When your nervous system functions at its best, your body regulates everything better — including cholesterol metabolism.
