Welcome to **Enlighten Chiropractic & Holistic Health**, an integrative clinic in Wasilla, Alaska focused on delivering collaborative, results-driven care for chronic pain, injury recovery, functional wellness, and pr

eventative health. We are a multidisciplinary team committed to helping patients feel and function better through a combination of chiropractic care, naturopathic medicine, medical massage, and low-level laser therapy.

**Dr. Ralf Schurmann, DC** brings over 20 years of clinical experience in chiropractic care with a focus on structural correction, pain relief, and restoring mobility. He is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and provides individualized, evidence-informed care to help patients recover from injury, improve function, and live pain-free.

**Dr. Alana McLaughlin, ND** is a naturopathic doctor who specializes in identifying and treating the root causes of chronic health concerns. She uses functional medicine, in-depth lab testing, and natural therapeutics to support hormone balance, thyroid function, digestion, fatigue, and overall wellness.

**Samantha Dowd, LMT, LDT** is a licensed massage therapist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in body balancing, neuromuscular reeducation, and therapeutic exercise. She works closely with the doctors to deliver integrated, hands-on care that improves movement, supports recovery, and addresses the root of musculoskeletal dysfunction.

**Our Medical Massage Therapist Team** focuses on outcome-based massage that supports clinical care plans and improves long-term function. Medical massage plays a vital role not only in recovery from pain and injury but also in ongoing wellness and prevention. Regular bodywork can reduce inflammation, restore balance, and improve overall performance—making it an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms—and to create an environment where patients are supported, educated, and empowered to take an active role in their health.

Father’s Day Giveaway Update 👀

We posted a Father’s Day Zerona giveaway and it’s been a little quiet… so let’s clear something up:

This is NOT about calling anyone out or making someone feel bad about their body.

This is about giving a hardworking man a chance to feel better, lighter, more energized, and more supported in his health.

Zerona can be a great option for men who feel stuck with belly weight, inflammation, bloating, low energy, or who just need a little jumpstart getting back into their body again.

And let’s be honest, so many women invest in feeling and looking good, but the men in our lives deserve that same support too.

You can nominate:
A dad
A husband
A brother
A friend
A coworker
Or yourself

Prize: **1 FREE month of Zerona membership**

To enter, do all of the below on the original Fathers Day post:
Like the post = 1 entry
Tag someone = 1 entry
Share and tag us = 5 entries

You can also send us a private message if you’d rather nominate someone quietly and I will direct message you back if you are the winner.

This is about health, confidence, energy, and helping the men in our community feel good again.

If you’re waking up exhausted no matter how much sleep you’re getting… your serotonin and melatonin cycle may be off ☀️

Morning sunlight plays a huge role in helping your body produce serotonin — one of the key neurotransmitters tied to mood, focus, motivation, nervous system regulation, and overall well-being.

Later in the evening, that serotonin helps convert into melatonin, your body’s natural sleep hormone.

So when people avoid morning sunlight, stay indoors, wake up to screens, and live under artificial lighting all day… it can disrupt the entire cycle.

The result?
Low energy.
Brain fog.
Poor sleep.
Difficulty falling asleep.
Waking up tired even after a full night in bed.

One of the simplest ways to support your body naturally:
Get outside within the first 30 minutes of waking up and let natural sunlight hit your eyes for a few minutes.

Not through a windshield.
Not through sunglasses.
Not through a window.

Your brain uses light as information.
And your nervous system is always listening.

Most people live in a constant low-grade stress state and don’t even realize it.

Tight muscles.
Shallow breathing.
Poor sleep.
Brain fog.
Fatigue.
Inflammation.
Feeling “wired but tired.”

Your nervous system was never designed to stay stuck in survival mode 24/7.

One of the fastest ways to shift your body out of that state is through your breath.

Slow, intentional breathing sends signals of safety to the brain, helping regulate stress hormones, heart rate, muscle tension, digestion, and even pain perception.

This is why breathwork is becoming such a powerful tool in healing, recovery, performance, and overall health.

Sometimes the first step toward feeling better isn’t doing more.

It’s teaching your body how to slow down again.

Most people try to “think” their way out of stress.

But your nervous system doesn’t speak logic first.
It speaks physiology.

Your breath is one of the fastest ways to communicate safety to your brain.

When stress hits, breathing becomes shallow, fast, and chest-driven. Your body shifts into survival mode:
• elevated heart rate
• muscle tension
• brain fog
• inflammation
• poor digestion
• heightened pain sensitivity

Slow, controlled breathing helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the part responsible for rest, recovery, healing, digestion, and regulation.

One of the simplest tools:
Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
Exhale slowly for 6–8 seconds
Repeat for 1–2 minutes

That longer exhale signals to the brain:
“You are safe.”

Breathwork isn’t just relaxation.
It’s neurological input.

Your nervous system is listening to every breath you take.

And sometimes healing starts there.
