Happy New Year!

We’re wishing you and your family your happiest and healthiest year yet!

As many of us set goals this time of year; I wanted to offer some helpful strategies I’ve picked up along the way.

1.      One of the best ways to succeed is to start small and build momentum. James Clear talks about the power of tiny gains in his book Atomic Habits and in this article. The idea is simple but powerful: small, consistent improvements add up to big results. The graphic below illustrates how even small progress, when repeated over time, can make a huge difference.

2.      Preparation also plays a huge role in success—making healthy choices easier, setting reminders, and keeping the tools you need within reach can make all the difference.

3.      Mindset: progress over perfection. Give yourself grace, keep moving forward, and start again whenever you need to.

One of my goals this year is move my body more. I could start with walking 3 miles a day, but instead, I’m starting with just 5 minutes per day then working my way up to 1 mile, then 2, then 3. I think I’ll end up walking over 500 miles this year!

If wellness is one of your goals this year, we’re here to help! You can schedule your entire year of chiropractic adjustments now—and even save $$$ by setting up monthly ACH payments. Just let us know at your next visit or reach out anytime.

We’re cheering you on and grateful to walk alongside you on your health journey this year!

With care,
Erika

The Missing Link in Childhood Immunity

If your child seems to catch every cold, battle endless ear infections, or can't shake being sick, you're not alone—and you're not imagining it.

Here's a statistic that might surprise you: around 5 out of 6 children will have had at least one ear infection by their third birthday. That's 83% of kids. And here's what happens next: according to a large study covering over 2.1 million ear infection episodes, nearly 78% were treated with antibiotics within 3 days of diagnosis.

By age 5, approximately 94% of U.S. children have received at least one antibiotic prescription.

Another round of antibiotics. Another infection a few weeks later. Another doctor's visit. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering: Why does my child keep getting sick when other kids seem fine?

Happy New Year!
