12 days of Health Activated

christmas tree

As we wrap up the year, here are twelve simple, health activated inspired habits to help support energy, resilience, and overall well-being—no partridge or pear tree required.

1. One Nervous System Reset
Begin the day with slow breathing or vagal-toning techniques—supporting
the same nervous system pathways we target with chiropractic adjustments.

2. Two Daily Stretch Breaks
Mid-morning and mid-afternoon stretches can improve circulation,
reduce muscle tension, and counteract long hours at a desk.

3. Three Colorful Meals
Aim for at least three colors on your plate each day.
Variety supports gut health and ensures a broader range of vitamins and antioxidants.

4. Four Hydration Reminders
Set a few hydration checkpoints throughout your day.
Even mild dehydration can impact focus, mood, and energy.

5. Five Minutes Outdoors
A quick dose of natural light helps regulate circadian rhythms,
boosts vitamin D, and refreshes your mind.

6. Six Toxins Reduced
Make simple swaps: reduce synthetic fragrances, choose cleaner household products, and avoid heavily processed foods—supporting detox pathways.

7. Seven Hours of Sleep
Prioritize getting 7–9 hours of restorative sleep.
Your brain and body perform essential repair work during this time.

8. Eight Minute Walk After Meals
A short, leisurely walk after eating can support digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

9. Nine Positive Words
Say or write nine uplifting words at the start or end of your day.
Gratitude and positive framing can improve emotional resilience.

10. Ten-Minute Declutter
Spend 10 minutes clearing your workspace or home.
A tidy environment supports clearer thinking and reduces stress.

11. Eleven Healthy Snacks
Keep nutrient-dense snacks on hand—nuts, fruit, yogurt, veggies,
or protein-rich options—to help maintain steady energy levels.

12. Twelve Acts of Kindness
Small gestures—compliments, thank-yous, check-ins—contribute
to a healthier workplace culture and lift everyone’s spirits.

Stage 3: Nourish & Refresh

At this point, you are feeling better than you ever thought you could as you are feeling energized and thriving. You have learned a lot about your body, you are moving more efficiently, you understand your body’s cues, and you have a good idea of what to do with these cues. This means you get to try new things, achieve new goals, and conquer new challenges!  As you do, we will be here as your resource, as needed, to help you nourish, boost, and refresh your health.

Stage 2: Activate Healing

Pain is generally the last symptom to show up and the first to go away. This means that by the time you realize there is a problem, there has been a problem for a long time. Especially for chronic or recurring issues, understanding how you got to where you are is so important for getting to where you want to go. In this stage of your journey, you will resolve underlying dysfunction, remove cheats, and retrain habits. As we aid you in activating your body’s natural healing potential, we will help you regain movement, energy, and body function both inside and outside. Throughout this process, you will start to feel greater ease and inspiration as you restore communication and efficiency in your body. Together, we will constantly assess, observe, and reassess your body’s responses to boost your results.

Stage 1: Discover Root Cause

You are your own person, with your own collection of life events which brought you to where you are today. You deserve to be heard, seen, and treated as the individual you are. Your journey begins with your Discovery Evaluation. This first visit includes your exam which works to uncover the root of your issue(s), new patient diagnostics, and, of course, your first treatment. This is how we will help you begin connecting the dots and feeling better. After your first treatment, we will ask you to observe your body’s responses– good, bad, or indifferent. There is no wrong answer as this is just starting point information and direction for moving forward. In your second visit, we will review this feedback and your diagnostics to further identify potential underlying causes and compensations. We will combine everything we have learned about you, consider your goals, and together create a plan to resolve your concerns from the roots up
