Oral health is important for everyone, including denture wearers. Gum disease, dental decay, and tooth loss are some of the main problems that denture wearers experience, so it is important to take good care of your gums, any remaining natural teeth, and to keep your partial or complete denture(s) clean and properly fitted! If gums, natural teeth, partials, and complete dentures are not cleaned properly, you are likely to experience a build-up of plaque, leading to bad breath, cavities, gum disease and further tooth loss. Denturists and dental hygienists play an integral role in the maintenance of your oral health. Be sure to book an appointment today.

Move Better, Live Better!
Aging is inevitable, but loss of function doesn’t have to be. A strong foundation in movement mechanics allows you to be strong and safe in as many situations as possible. Work to build your fitness foundation from the ground up. Remember, it’s important to establish spine stabilization prior to core strengthening. If you’re an older adult, choose low impact exercise programs that can help with mobility, balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. A good program will teach you how to move well and give you the ability to do everyday activities with ease and pain free.
Health Boosts for Spring
With April and its warm weather upon us, it’s a great time to start thinking more about your health! The spring season invites us to get outside for a walk and enjoy the sunshine, whether it’s for overall health or weight loss. To boost your energy levels and potentially help with weight loss, consider taking high-quality vitamin B12, iron, and magnesium supplements. These can be a great addition to a healthy, well-rounded diet to ensure you’re getting enough of these nutrients to keep up with your daily activities. Committing to healthy lifestyle changes can help you look and feel better!

Could It Be A Leaky Gut?
Do you suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, brain fog, and headaches? What about acid reflux, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, inflammation, or hormonal issues? Are you still looking for answers about your symptoms? It could be leaky gut! Over 90% of people have a leaky gut, which happens when there are gaps in the lining of your intestinal walls that allow food particles, bacteria, and waste products to travel directly into your bloodstream. If you’ve tried everything to find some relief and found that nothing has worked so far, contact me about a potential solution!

Finding the Right Matchmaker
Curious about seeking out matchmaking services, but don’t know where to start or what to look for? While many people may advertise themselves as matchmakers, it takes a special skillset to truly excel. Some important questions to ask prior to investing in a matchmaking service include: 1) How long has the company been in business? More than 5 years is ideal. 2) Are they upfront with their fees and do they have a legal contract? 3) Do they have any references? 4) Do they have a professional website and social media presence? 5) What is their process?

Brain Health Awareness Month
Most people are familiar with the benefits that exercise holds for the body, but regular exercise also plays a significant role in keeping our brains healthy. Studies have shown that physical activity can improve cognitive health – helping us think, learn, problem-solve, and maintain emotional balance. It can improve memory and reduce anxiety and depression. Every little bit counts – walking the dog, dancing, doing light housework or playing tag with grandkids – and you can break it up over the week. Exercise does not need to happen in one-hour increments! Start with just 10 minutes today. Your body AND your brain will thank you!
Abundance and Receiving
How willing are you to receive in your life? If receiving has been a challenge for you, reflect on how tuned in you are to your feminine energy (we all have both masculine and feminine energy within us). When we turn on our feminine energy, we can receive, surrender, slow down, and be more present. Embodiment Breathwork Sessions allow you to tune into your feminine energy and womb space to release and surface unprocessed emotions and traumas our body holds onto that may be preventing us from receiving the abundance in our life that we all have access to!
