Dynamic Greens - why we love it!



If you are like most people there is a time during your long work day when you just kinda 'slump'. You need something to keep you going for three more hours. Usually people turn to caffeine or some type of high sugar food that will give you that extra boost. After continually resorting to the sweets -3:00 rolls around and you crash. It is not a fun feeling and after talking to many people, I realize I was not alone. So when at first I did not really notice it,  I tuned more into my body I noticed I would get a slight headache, I felt bloated, my eyes were still half closed and the bounce in my step was gone.

I was frustrated, what do I need to do to keep a clear mind and stay committed to my day? The obvious reason -  I needed to substitute unnatural sugar and caffeine for a natural source of energy boosting goodness - which of course is fruits and veggies. I grabbed the huge bottle of Dynamic Greens and read the back. It had everything I would need for a boost during my day, plus a whole lot more. I have drank Dynamic Greens before but never during the middle of the day hoping for a boost.

After the first day of giving it a shot, I felt great. I didn't feel the need to drink coffee or have a sweet, I felt full of energy - in a good way. Dynamic Greens did not make me jittery and I never did crash - it was a steady stream of energy that lead me all the way into an intense 7:00 pm workout where I felt strong and ready to sweat.

It was a great Revelation - supplying your body with natural and healthy foods will most definitely increase your energy and well being.  With that said, whenever there is a time during your day that you start craving sugar or caffeine try the Dynamic Green's powder blend  and you will not be disappointed!
Come in to our clinic today to buy some of this fantastic super food!!

A Graston Technique Success Story

My Amazing Experience with Graston at IN8 Chiropractic
                When Lorry came in for her Graston session with Dr. Cook she could barely walk. As she shuffled, in pain, down to our Graston room she mentioned that the pain is so unbearable that she often opts to use a wheel chair. Lorry came in with an awful case of plantar fasciitis. Lorry had undergone surgery to remove the adhesions in her fascia. Following her surgery she did not see much improvement and recently actually started to regress and was preparing to have a second surgery. It just so happened that Dr. Cook recently became certified in the Graston Technique and saw the perfect opportunity to help Lorry. Immediately after the first session Lorry reported feeling much better, even standing at our counter she said she could feel the difference. She left with a bright smile and hopeful eyes.  After two days of great anticipation to see how she was doing, Lorry strolled in with a smile so big it was contagious. She sparkled when she told me, that she felt 80% better! She was shaking her head in disbelief, saying that not in a million years did she believe this pain would ever dissipate. She was walking noticeably better and with a much more comfortable look. She said that it had been forever since the last time she was able to wake up and walk around barefoot – after her first Graston session she was walking with no shoes and with little pain! It was recently her fourth session with Graston and she continues to report feeling SO much better. Lorry’s walk continues to improve as does her hope that life can be better. Dr. Cook reports that during her first session going over her “rough” spots was like going over bubble wrap – the adhesions were everywhere from her toes to calves. But on her fourth session, Dr. Cook stated that she could barely find any adhesions, and the one spot that had an adhesions was so small it did not take any time to release the fascia. Lorry’s story is just the beginning of how excited we are that we are getting amazing results and the patients are willing to share their stories. We want Lorry’s story to inspire all of you out there that are living in pain and believe there is no way out – we want to help you feel good, healthy and happy. I will attach the Graston Technique website along with ours. Book online now to make an appointment.

Standard Process Purification

It has been a couple weeks since the holidays and for many of us that means a couple of weeks of extra weight on our bodies. The holidays are notorious for delicious candies and amazing assortment of hearty meals. This of course is okay on occasion and indulging is not always bad. What is important is to make sure that it is not happening every day.
It was also the start of the new year, which is a time where many people make resolutions and intentions for the upcoming year. A huge percentage of these resolutions are, "get in shape", "loose weight",  "eat healthier" and in general, "be healthy".  And truthfully most bodies can use all three of these commitments. However, the questions are - now what? How can I accomplish this?
Of course there are many different diet approaches and very strict detox programs to choose from - so consulting your physician first is always important - After personal experience, research and other people's feedback we have found a purification process or a detoxification that we believe is both nutritionally sound and a healthy way to clean your body, loose excess weight and get yourself back on the healthy train.
The program we found to be a healthy, nutritionally and research based detoxification program to keep your body in its best condition and supply it with the essential vitamins and minerals during the program.
Detox or purification programs are a good way to jump start a healthy life style both physically and mentally.
With the Standard Process kit they provide you with everything you will need to insure that you are receiving the proper vitamins to sustain you daily activities as well as keep the detoxification process working correctly.
If you are interested at all in this program we would be more than happy to talk to you, get your kit and support you during you detoxification.
It is a big step to commit to a detoxification and that is why we insure you that we will be here to answer questions, give advice and provide you with support during a journey to a new, improved and healthy you! :)
