✨ Chiropractic isn’t just mechanical — it’s neurological.

Research shows that chiropractic adjustments can increase activity in the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for:
🧠 focus
🧠 emotional regulation
🧠 clear decision-making

That’s why people often leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more grounded — not just “looser.”

When the nervous system gets better input, the brain responds with better output.
That’s physiology. 🌿

I don’t know about you, but when I am scared, anxious, or worried... I hold my breath. It’s subconscious. 🙊🙈

Just like we can cause our bodies to go into fight or flight mode, we can signal our nervous system to relax and reset. 🚦

One quick tip is called a ‘physiological sigh’. Take two quick inhales through your nose 👃 , followed by a LONG, SLOW exhale through your mouth. 💨 This activates the parasympathetic nervous system which tells the body to slow your heart rate and trigger relaxation.

Remembering to breath during times of high stress or anxiousness is important and knowing how to help reset can be a powerful tool. 🕊️

Give it a try the next time you feel yourself tensing up.

3rd trimester exercises — a few of my favorites! 🤍

These movements focus on strength, stability, and coordination — not intensity — because in the third trimester, the goal isn’t pushing harder.
It’s supporting your body as it adapts, carries more load, and prepares for birth.

1️⃣ Kneeling Clean to Lunge Press Balance
Builds full-body strength while training balance, pelvic stability, and the ability to move from the ground to standing — a very real-life (and birth-relevant) skill.

2️⃣ Single-Leg RDL
Supports posterior chain strength, hip stability, and balance as your center of gravity shifts, helping protect the low back and pelvis during pregnancy.

3️⃣ Bridges
Strengthens the glutes and supports pelvic stability while staying grounded — a great way to build strength without compressing the core.

4️⃣ Overhead Cross-Body March
Engages the transverse abdominis, the deep core muscle responsible for stabilizing the trunk, supporting your growing belly, and setting the foundation for smoother postpartum recovery. The cross-body pattern also improves coordination and balance.

Third trimester movement is about integration, flow, and confidence.
Strong doesn’t have to mean exhausting — it means supportive.

Always listen to your body and move in ways that feel steady, controlled, and nourishing.

High Stress impacts your hormonal regulation. ⚖️

For women this can impact your menstrual cycles and overall reproductive health.

For men the impacts include impacts to libido, ED, and reduced s***m quality.

We don’t always know how much stress we are under, but our body keeps the score. 🏳️ When conception timing is not meeting our expectations and holiday pressures add in, this stress may not be visible, but can cause disruptions.

Keep your well-being a priority during this season;
🕊️ Find joy and peace in the process
🐢 Slow down and take time to intentionally breathe and rest
💦 Keep your food quality and hydration in mind
🥰 Connect with your spouse in low pressure fun ways
❤️ Intentionally care for your nervous system

Women who receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy have been shown to experience shorter labor times.

Research by Dr. Joan Fallon found that:
🤍 First-time moms averaged a 24% shorter labor
🤍 Experienced moms averaged a 39% reduction in labor time

Why?
Chiropractic doesn’t control labor — it supports the nervous system, pelvic balance, and adaptability so the body can do what it’s designed to do more efficiently.

Less tension. Better communication. More coordination.
Because birth works best when the body isn’t fighting itself. 🌿👶

Keeping your nervous system calm can be a challenge for everyone. Here are some tips to help you find peace and joy this season -

🌬️Breathe to reset - intentional breathing to reset your nervous system, try box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4 and REPEAT)

🥬Nourish and Hydrate - even when you enjoy different foods and fun, remember to hydrate with structured water and provide your body nutritious whole foods.

🕊️Ground through your senses - connect to your 5 senses; find 5️⃣ things to see, touch 4️⃣ objects, what are 3️⃣ things you are hearing, what are 2️⃣ things you can smell, find 1️⃣thing to taste.

⚓️Anchor your routines - even when traveling or time away from work, make time to keep your routines such as journaling, movement, or a few quiet moments.

🗓️Keep consistent with your chiropractic care - don’t forget to schedule and maintain your appointments.

A stagnant pond breeds disease.
So does a stagnant body.

Your physiology was designed for movement — not intensity, not perfection — just flow.
Flow of oxygen, flow of blood, flow of hormones, flow of lymph, flow of emotion.

When life gets busy and movement disappears, your body shifts into conservation mode.
Hormones slow.
Detox slows.
Digestion slows.
Fertility gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list — not because you’re broken, but because your body is protecting you.

Movement is how you tell your body:
“It’s safe to open. It’s safe to circulate. It’s safe to create.”

Start with one small thing today:
💚 a 10-minute walk
💚 deep breathing
💚 stretching
💚 30 squats after dinner

Flow creates life.

✨ People talk about reducing their stress — Why aren’t we asking about adaptability?

Everyone’s shouting “reduce stress this season” and I’m over here like…

✨ What if the goal isn’t less stress, but a stronger system?

Stress isn’t good or bad — it just is.
Your nervous system decides what to do with it.
Freeze? Flares? Fatigue?
Or adapt, regulate, and move forward?

This season, shift the lens:
Instead of trying to bubble-wrap your life, build a body that can handle life.
More capacity. More resilience. More adaptability.

That’s the real win.
That’s health. 🌿

So tell me — how are you increasing your adaptability this season? 💫

⏱️ What if just 5–10 minutes a day could shift your entire mindset?

Spoiler: it can. And it takes less time than scrolling your phone.

🙏 This season of Thanksgiving is the perfect time to lean into gratitude journaling. Our minds are already naturally leaning toward reflection—it’s the ideal moment to build a habit that rewires your brain.

🧠 Your mind is powerful. Writing things down helps train it to focus on what’s working, what’s beautiful, what you’re thankful for. That shift alone can improve your mood, lower stress, and even help you sleep better.

📖 And when practiced regularly, journaling can reduce anxiety, boost emotional resilience, and support your overall health—especially in the middle of holiday chaos.

✨ Gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s a practice. And it changes everything.

📖☀️
Did you know that gratitude doesn’t just support your mindset—it also impacts your fertility?

Research shows that when we shift into a state of safety and gratitude, cortisol drops… and your hormones respond.

→ Less stress
→ More hormonal regulation
→ Better communication between your brain, ovaries, and womb

Gratitude isn’t just “positive thinking.” It’s nervous system work. It’s physiological.

It’s one more way to align your body with the life you’re hoping to create.
