They did not understand the assignment😅

Things I won’t be doing because I couldn’t do it-
-freak out that one side of my body is more mobile, stable, and strong
-panic stretch to try to “even” my hips out
-avoid mobility challenges because I 1/2 failed this one

Have more fun, be nicer to yourself, love your asymmetrical hot bod that gets you around this magical beautiful world🤸🏼

& it’s completely changed my life🤸🏼

Imagine not hunting for problems anymore!? Or feeling bad because you aren’t symmetrical?!

*She is me. I am her🤸🏼

I’m an evidence-based chiropractor and I’ll die on the hill that we all have leg length differences, pelvic tilts, and one shoulder higher than the other.

These are normal human asymmetries! Our body and brain adapts to grows and changes and if the only goal is to “fix” and “uneven” hip, the bigger functional picture has been completely missed.

Just because one hip may look higher doesn’t mean it’s causing harm.

Waiting for the a certain group of docs to come at me for the last one🙃

But in all seriousness and with all due respect, people come first. Changing our mindsets and growing and changing as research continues to evolve is crucial.

Happy to chat about any and all of these🤸🏼🤗💞

Your body called, it said it needed this.

A leg day flow (that could really also double as a full body flow with a lower body emphasis)🤸🏼

Stop making movement complicated or daunting!

✅Save this and actually do it to help your legs (and shoulders and back and spine) move better and feel less hot garbage-y.

If you want the full version with 2 more movements, and guided voiceover cues, join Move a Little🫶🏼🤸🏼🥳🥰

Health insurance companies aren’t actually set up to keep you healthy 💀

People assume insurance exists to help you stay well, but it’s mostly structured around treating problems once you’re sick enough to qualify for care.

(Yes most plans cover a limited list of preventive services like vaccines or certain screenings, but that’s a VERY narrow definition of prevention)

The kind of care that actually helps you STAY functional like maintenance care, early treatment, or addressing small issues before they become big ones aren’t usually covered or gets labeled as “not medically necessary” which means they won’t pay for it.

And it also means a lot of times people are told to wait until symptoms are worse, pain is more severe, or the problem has progressed enough to justify coverage. Aka they wait until you’re in pain to pay up.

This often leads to more visits, more testing, more interventions, and more complicated treatment plans than what would have been needed if the issue had been addressed earlier. (Which means waaaaaay more money for the insurance companies)

As a provider, it’s incredibly frustrating to watch patients who are motivated to take care of themselves and run into barriers simply because they’re not considered “bad enough” yet.

Insurance is important for protecting people from major medical costs, but it was never designed to be a wellness system. If you rely on insurance alone to guide your health decisions, you’ll often end up reacting to problems instead of preventing them.

If you want to not feel like a pile of hot garbage, you have to often take things into your own hands and seek the providers who give the middle finger to insurance companies.

I’m proud to be a provider who doesn’t let your insurance dictate your care 🤙🏼

“If you don’t use it, you lose it”

Some of these seem like activities of normal daily life, but if you think about, they are luxuries.

Your neck has to be mobile enough to turn when you change lanes.

Your shoulder has to be mobile enough to reach behind you to hold your kiddos hand, or even just grab something off the floor.

Your knees and legs have to be strong enough to carry you up and down the stairs.

Your balance, mobility, stability, and strength all have to be solid to get you up off of the floor without help.

These sound so “like yeah duh I can do these easy”. Of course you can! Now. Until you can’t.

Train for your life like you would for a sporting event.

Slow and steady, mix it up, and challenge yourself.

Everything works until it doesn’t and I for one want to do everything I can NOW to feel like I’m living a luxurious af life for as long as humanly possible🤙🏼

Doom scrolling. We hate her. We need to breakup with her. It literally floods the body with cortisol (stress hormone) and adrenaline. It also messes up the brain’s dopamine reward system. No thanks to all of this.

Drinking water literally helps with every single part of your body. Your brain, your muscles, your cells, your tissues, your organs and more allllll need water. Drink up, buttercup.

Going to bed early. Ok maybe 9pm isn’t realistic for you, but picking a bedtime and trying to stick to it can help your circadian rhythm regulate and help you fall all and stay asleep easier.

Breathe through your belly!!! Well, lower rib cage🙃 Your parasympathetics love to feel a nice big deep breath. Try breathing in for 4 seconds through your nose, and breathing out for 6-8 seconds through your mouth. Repeat for 2 minutes and bless.

Your nervous system LOVES a boundary. Protect your peace no matter what, sister.

☕️We all know the blissful feeling of a cup of coffee that is THEEEE perfect shade of milky brown!

What’s your perfect shade? A little cream, a lot of cream? Black? (If you can drink black coffee and enjoy it, you are super human)

Exposing my non-highlight reel moments of 2025🫶🏼

Imposter syndrome really hits ya when kind strangers DM me saying I make this all look easy. It is in fact not that easy. I do not have it all together.

This has been the most beautiful year and a challenging year all rolled into one. I believe that two truths can exist at the same time and we have seasons of life that thankfully ebb and flow.

Cheers to the beautifully chaotic 2025🫶🏼
