Highlights

A little #tune‑up goes a long way

Hastings’ chiropractors remind us that taking care of our spine is about more than pain relief. A quick tune‑up might be the reason someone else can wake up and move with ease. Each adjustment creates a ripple: better posture leads to better function and brighter days. Our local doctors say chiropractic care is about living with energy and confidence, not just cracking backs. Your spine deserves attention—and so do you and the people you love.

Updates & Self‑Care

Self‑acceptance: the first step to better mental health

Being your own friend sets the stage for growth; grace is part of the healing process. If you need support, local therapists offer sessions and medication management and encourage neighbors to learn more via their website. After all, a healthy mind is a cornerstone of well‑being.

Purposeful recreation benefits seniors

At Benedictine Regina, recreation is more than fun and games. Senior residents find real physical, emotional and cognitive benefits in activities like art, music, movement and hobbies. Purposeful recreation enhances well‑being and helps older adults live life to the fullest. The center encourages families to explore simple ways to bring joy and purpose to loved ones’ lives.

Still bloated? Hormones may be to blame

Eating clean but still feeling bloated? Hormonal shifts—like high estrogen or low progesterone—can slow digestion and disrupt gut motility. Krehbiel Natural Health offers practical tips: add fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut), hydrate between meals rather than during, and limit sugar, alcohol and inflammatory dairy. A client named Anne improved her energy and reduced bloating through the SHAPE ReClaimed protocol. Sometimes the culprit isn’t kale but hormones.
