Spring is here! Can you believe it?! This weather has everyone's body and mind going in all different directions. The calendar says March...but I'm walking around wishing I had my shorts and tank on, what kind of sense does that make at least for us mid-westerners. Needless to say, this weather effects us in many different ways which is why it is important to keep your body and mind safe during these abrupt weather changes. One way to help is to get outside and harden your senses by exposing them to the elements. There are so many ways to get out and enjoy the fresh air - walk around the block, walk to the coffee shop down the block, go jogging, do anything that will keep you moving, feeling the wind and soaking up the sun. You will thank yourself, I promise!
By experiencing the weather outside - in all types - you will begin to prepare your body for the upcoming summer. Make sure to wear your sunscreen and light clothes to keep cool and comfortable. And by all means, take advantage of the natural vitamin D that beautiful sun is shining down on us! Enjoy these beautiful days and get outside and play!!

Spring Purification
Well here we come summer and you all know what that means, no more hiding under sweaters and layers of clothing.
Perfect time to join us on a Purification Program.
Standard Process has a great Purification Program, it helps your body purify and rebuild itself from the inside out. The program gives you a structured plan for purifying nourishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Along with the Standard Process supplements, you'll support your major organ systems with the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients found in whole foods. In addition, this program will help you maintain a consistent healthy weight. When you've completed the 21 - day purification program, you'll be amazed at how good you find yourself feeling. You'll learn how to transition to a new, healthful way of eating that will continue your journey toward looking and feeling your beast for a lifetime.
On April 14th we will be hosting a group meeting at our Prior Lake office to introduce you to the program. It will include a sampling of foods and recipes, and a sampling of a recipe to take home with you to get you started. You will also go home with your kit and a grocery list of everything you'll need to be ready to start the program the following Monday morning.
Maggie will also be teaching yoga class at the end of the meeting so dress comfortable.
We all do better when we have the support of friends and this meeting will be a fun kick off to feeling good and looking better as the summer rolls in.
You must pre-register and pre-pay by April 7th.
If you have any questions please give Dr Cook a call M-W-F Prior Lake office 952-447-4242 or T-Th-Sat morning Minneapolis office 612-827-0657

Purification Process Program
Here at IN8 Chiropractic we are extremely exited to announce our first Standard Process Purification group! After talking with many people and experiencing for ourselves that many health issues stem from the food we do and don't put into our bodies - we wanted to start a group for people who are interested in seeing for themselves the power that food plays in our well-being. We believe this group will help people stay true to the detox program by staying connected with the support of others who are going through the same thing. If you, or anyone you know would be interested in this program - please email us or call us! Read the following for more information. I will also put the website for Standard Process and a few other resources at the bottom of this post.
After a couple of us at the office have completed the Standard Process Purification Program and had great outcomes we thought we should share! We realized during our journey that the more people on the program the more support we got and the easier things became! We could talk about different recipes, how we were feeling, the cravings we had, our daily progress and so much more! It made it much easier and fun, everyone kept each other honest and on the right track during the 21 days. So we thought- why shouldn't we get together a group of people who would want this type of community during a life changing cleanse! With that said, this is why we have decided to start the group! Together, let's start to eat healthy, feel better, and meet some great people.
Read through Standard Process' website for more information : http://www.standardprocess.com/display/psppurification.spi
When: We will have our first meeting on a Friday evening in March - We will let you know as soon as we pick the date! Throughout the 21 days we will have follow up weekly gatherings (once a week) and a complimentary Yoga class after our meeting!
What: We will have the packets of information which include a list of the food that is accepted on the diet, recipes to try out, a diary to keep track of what you are eating and how your feeling, all the supplements that come with the program, and the powder for your daily shakes. We will also be providing some delicious food and recipes that we love for everyone to try and even some food to take home to get things rolling! We will also offer a complimentary Yoga class, once a week, that will relax you and help aid your detoxification process.
Why: We want to bring a group of people together as a type support group. To get people talking about good recipes, how they feel, what they miss and the differences they are feeling within their bodies. Every one knows that detox programs can be daunting and scary to start - that's why if you are amongst a number of other who are on the same journey - they will inspire, motivate, and send good vibes your way!
Before the program starts we will send out a Toxicity Questionnaire (I will also attach the website if you want to see where your level is today!)
Cost : $223.00 - this includes everything you will need to get started - plus some extras :) You will get all the supplements to aid in the process, the smoothie mix, many self-tested recipes, some delicious food to start you off on the right track and four Yoga classes! Pre-order and pre-pay is required to participate.

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!!
Here is what Dynamic Greens writes :
Dynamic Fruits and Greens

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! :)
