🌙 Functional Medicine Friday 🌙

Think sleep is just "turning your brain off?" Think again... 😴

While you're asleep, your brain literally takes out the trash. The glymphatic system becomes up to 10 times more active during deep sleep, helping clear metabolic waste and proteins that accumulate throughout the day. That's one reason consistently poor sleep has been linked to long-term brain health.

Just one night of sleeping only 4–5 hours can temporarily reduce insulin sensitivity, making your body respond less effectively to glucose the very next day.

Adults ages 40–65 are among the most sleep-deprived groups. Hormonal changes, increased stress, caregiving responsibilities, and chronic health conditions all contribute to declining sleep quality.

✨ Want to improve your sleep naturally?

Get 10–20 minutes of morning sunlight within the first hour of waking.
Move your body every day, but avoid intense exercise right before bed.
Turn off screens or wear blue-light blockers 1–2 hours before bedtime.
Limit caffeine after lunch and avoid alcohol close to bedtime, it may make you sleepy, but it disrupts restorative sleep.

🥝 Eat more:
• Magnesium-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, spinach, almonds)
• Tart cherries or unsweetened tart cherry juice (natural source of melatonin precursors)
• Kiwi (some studies suggest it may improve sleep onset and duration)

🚫 Limit:
• Late-night sugar and heavy meals
• Excess caffeine
• Alcohol before bed
• Bright screens late at night

🌿 Helpful supplements & herbs (talk with your healthcare provider before starting anything new):
• Magnesium glycinate or malate. Either capsule or topical!
• L-theanine
• Glycine
• Apigenin (found naturally in chamomile)
• Lemon balm
• Passionflower

✨ Remember: You can't out-supplement poor sleep. Quality sleep is when your body repairs tissues, balances hormones, strengthens your immune system, consolidates memories, and recharges your metabolism.

Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do... is go to bed. 😴💙

A New Chapter at WellnessWorks Starts Now

Our August Newsletter is officially here, and we're excited to share two BIG announcements that are changing the way we care for our community.

🎉 Please join us in welcoming Dr. Will! His knowledge, hands-on care, and passion for patient education have already made an incredible impact, and we can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.

📊 We're also launching our brand-new KinetiSense 360 Functional Movement Assessment!

This is so much more than a scan.

It's a complete digital blueprint of how your body moves—identifying mobility restrictions, muscle imbalances, compensation patterns, posture changes, and movement inefficiencies before they become pain or injury.

At WellnessWorks, our mission has never been to simply treat pain. We want to help build strong, resilient, and functional adults and teens who move well for decades to come. We don't want a revolving door of patients chasing the next injury—we want to help you understand your body, track measurable progress, and create a personalized plan that keeps you doing what you love.

Whether you're an athlete looking to improve performance, a parent wanting to keep up with your kids, someone recovering from an injury, or simply trying to age well, knowing how your body moves is one of the most valuable pieces of information you can have.

💥 A Special Offer for Our WellnessWorks Family!

As a thank-you for being part of our community, current WellnessWorks patients who mention this newsletter when scheduling will receive $20 OFF their KinetiSense 360 Baseline or Performance Assessment!

Book your appointment today. Let's stop guessing, start measuring, and build a healthier, stronger future—one movement at a time.

Your body tells a story. It's time to see it.

🌿 Functional Medicine Friday 🌿

Did you know that nearly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut? 🤯

Your gut isn't just responsible for digesting food, it's also home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that help train and regulate your immune system. When your gut is healthy, your immune system is better equipped to recognize real threats, fight off infections, and stay balanced. But when the gut is inflamed or out of balance, your immune system can become sluggish... or even overreact, contributing to allergies, autoimmune conditions, and chronic inflammation.

✨ Want to support your immune system naturally? Start with your gut!

🥦 Eat more:
• Colorful fruits and vegetables 🌈 try 5 bright colors per day, diversity is key!
• Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and yogurt 🥬
• Fiber-rich foods (beans, oats, berries, flaxseed) to feed your good gut bacteria 🌾
• Healthy fats from avocados, olive oil, nuts, and wild-caught fish 🥑

🚫 Limit:
• Ultra-processed foods
• Excess sugar and sugary drinks
• Frequent alcohol
• Artificial sweeteners and food additives that may disrupt the gut microbiome

🌿 Helpful supplements & herbs (always check with your healthcare provider before starting anything new):
• Probiotics to help replenish beneficial bacteria (bifido and lacto families are a good start!)
• Prebiotic fiber to nourish your microbiome
• L-glutamine to support the intestinal lining, I cycle this 3 months on and off all year!
• Zinc and Vitamin D for healthy immune function
• Medicinal mushrooms (reishi, turkey tail, shiitake) to support immune balance
• Astragalus and elderberry for seasonal immune support

💧 And don't forget the basics! Prioritize quality sleep, regular movement, stress management, and hydration...they're some of the most powerful (and often overlooked) ways to keep both your gut and immune system functioning at their best.

✨ Healthy gut. Strong immune system. Healthier you.

Great chiropractors adjust the spine. Exceptional chiropractors change the way people understand their bodies.

That's one of the things we've loved most about having Dr. Will on our team.

His adjustments are confident, precise, and incredibly effective—but what really sets him apart is the time he takes to educate every patient. He has a way of explaining why you're hurting, what your body is doing, and how we're going to get you feeling better. Patients leave not only feeling better... but understanding their health in a whole new way.

Whether you're dealing with headaches, back pain, sports injuries, chronic aches, or just want to move and function at your best, you're in excellent hands.

If you've been thinking about scheduling an adjustment, this is your sign. We can't wait for you to experience the difference for yourself.

📞 Give us a call or book online—we have appointments available with Dr. Will this week!

🧠 Think your brain is in charge of your serotonin? Plot twist... your gut is doing most of the work 👀

About 90% of your body's serotonin is produced in the gut, which means your digestive health plays a much bigger role in your mood than most people realize. While that gut-made serotonin doesn't cross into the brain, the gut and brain are constantly chatting through the gut-brain axis, influencing mood, stress, sleep, digestion, and overall well-being.

✨ Want to give your "happy chemical" a helping hand?

🥦 Feed your gut bugs with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.
🥛 Add fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi.
🐟 Make sure you're getting enough protein (especially tryptophan-rich foods), omega-3s, and B vitamins.
😴 Prioritize quality sleep and daily movement...they both support healthy serotonin signaling.
🦠 And most importantly... take care of your gut!

Your gut does so much more than digest food, it helps shape how you feel every single day. So the next time someone tells you to "trust your gut," there might be more science behind it than you thought 😉
