Coming Home to Yoga
Wellness Corner:
Coming Home to YOGA by Joanne Kosta, RN
There is something so welcoming about YOGA that once you do it a few times it feels like you’ve come home. But like family we can take it for granted. YOGA has been around for a very long time—and I assume it will always be there "when I’m ready." What I forget though, is that staying away for whatever reason is only taking away from the quality and good health of my life. It is not a fad or a social moment.

Wellness Corner: Almond Joy
Wellness Corner:
Almond Joy Joanne Kosta, RN
I remember the first time I met and began to love almonds. It was in the traditional candy bar. Then one day it was in hand dipped chocolate-almond ice cream. And now—almonds have become a staple in my diet.
Almonds are high in protein….rich in healthy fats….taste good….offer a sustained energy boost. They are associated with reduction in total & LDL (the bad cholesterol). They provide instant food without wasted calories when our lives get too busy to plan for meals or snacks and we lean toward something junky and high in calories. I keep them in my desk at work and cupboard at home.

Dr. Darren Snodgrass, DC

But with an abundance of choices on the market, how do you identify a superior fish oil supplement that contains potent amounts of these two substances without potential contaminants? Here’s what you need to know.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Chiropractic Treatment for Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
By Dr. Darren Snodgrass, DC
Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint is a common cause of low back and/or leg pain. The pain is typically felt on one side of the low back or buttocks, and can radiate down the leg. The pain usually remains above the knee, but at times pain can extend to the ankle or foot. This pain pattern can often mimic the pain caused by a lumbar disc herniation or sciatica.

Hypnotism: Is it all in your head?
Hypnotism: Is it all in your head?
By Nichole Nitschke, PCC
Hypnosis has been used for centuries to treat diverse ills; it’s been used to allow surgery and dental work without anesthesia, and for pain-free childbirth without medication. However it went into relative decline with the rise of modern medicine, and in the last 200 years it's been more associated with stage magicians and movie villains than medicine.
