Looking for a natural way to help support deep and restorative sleep?

Check out Dr. Mark Hyman’s Cherry Sleepy-Thyme Mocktail recipe. It combines calming herbs with tart cherry juice, which naturally contains melatonin and tryptophan.

Why it works?

Chamomile: Contains apigenin, a flavonoid that helps calm the nervous system.

Lavender: Modulates GABA activity, reducing restlessness and agitation.

Tart cherries: Naturally rich in melatonin and tryptophan, supporting sleep cycles.

Thyme: Adds flavor and mild relaxation benefits.

This soothing mocktail is a great evening ritual to help wind down and prepare for restorative sleep.

Instructions:

Brew chamomile tea and let it cool.

In a shaker or glass, combine tart cherry juice, cooled chamomile tea, thyme leaves, and lavender.

Add ice cubes and stir (or shake lightly).
Taste and add honey/maple syrup if desired.

Strain into a glass, garnish with a sprig of thyme, and enjoy about 30–60 minutes before bed.

Let’s face it we have to sit sometimes but have you paid attention to your adductor (inner thigh) muscle group while sitting? Probably not which will shut off the midlines of our bodies and cause our hips to roll out into excessive external rotation which can lead to a host of pains and discomforts.

Try placing something between your legs to lightly hold in place such as a yoga block, foam nerf ball or water bottle. Better yet every few minutes squeeze the object for a nice healthy isometric contraction of the adductors for 10 seconds.

Try this while sitting at your desk for hours a day, while on a long road trip or on an airplane. This will help to decompress your lower back by better organizing your pelvis.

One of my favorite drinks this time of year is a turmeric latte or golden milk! It has all the things needed this time of the year to warm and nourish our bodies.

Here at Driscoll Chiropractic, we do all our own scheduling, payments, and of course billing. Which means sometimes we have to give the insurance companies a call.

If you work in healthcare, you know that sometimes that hold music is a real banger.

So good, in fact, that by the time someone finally answers… you forget what you were calling about in the first place.
Worth it.

Your breath isn’t just oxygen — it’s structure.
Think of your core like a soda can:

Unopened can = pressurized + strong
When you breathe and brace properly, your body builds internal pressure that stabilizes your spine.

Empty can = weak + collapses
When you forget to breathe or lose tension, your structure folds under load.

Proper breathing keeps your body strong, steady, and safe! Every rep, every hold, every movement!

This is one of my favorite full body blast quick hit workouts. You won’t break a sweat but you’ll get your heart rate up, circulatory and lymphatic systems pumping and feel alive afterwards.

My favorite piece to this workout is the nitric oxide you will produce with the quick full body movements accompanied with nasal breathing.

The key is:

Quick movements, don’t worry about full range of motion

Nasal breathe the whole time

Start body weight then work up to 5 lb dumbbells

Perform 10 reps each exercise 4 rounds total

Step-by-step instructions

-Swing both arms forward to shoulder height, then back behind you.

Ever hold a plank, a wall sit, or a yoga pose and feel your legs start to shake?
That’s not weakness — that’s your body learning.

When you hold a position, your muscles are firing nonstop to keep you steady. Those tiny tremors mean your nervous system is working overtime, recruiting more muscle fibers to keep you stable. You’re literally watching your strength being built in real time.

Shaking = Adaptation.
Movement = Growth.
Control = Power.

The goal isn’t to avoid the shake — it’s to meet it with good form, steady breathing, and confidence.

Over time, those tremors fade as your body gets stronger, more stable, and more connected.

Keep moving. Keep shaking. That’s progress.

Muscle isn’t just about looking strong, it’s one of the biggest predictors of how well you age.

This week a patient asked me why it’s healthy to go to the gym… so here are the 3 BIG takeaways:

• Strength predicts survival — grip strength is one of the strongest indicators of longevity.

• Muscle protects your metabolism — it regulates blood sugar, hormones, and inflammation.

• More muscle = better recovery — people with higher strength bounce back faster from illness, surgery, and injury.

So it’s not all about looking good! Training is about taking care of your future self!
