So many people ask us about what to "take" for health and wellness in winter. Hands down, the most important is #VitaminD! Although treating or managing infections is NOT within our scope of practice, nutritional recommendations to support well-being is one of our areas of expertise. One of the good things to come out of the Covid-19 crisis is the burst of research on Vitamin D. Recently, a large group of highly respected scientists and medical experts has added their voice... to supporting supplementing with Vitamin D! You can read the entire reference and sources here: http://ow.ly/kqsx50D1qWo Here is the summary: - Experts are calling for a widespread, immediate increase of vitamin D intake to 4,000 IU per day for healthy adults in order to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic. - Vitamin D modulates thousands of genes and many aspects of immune function, both innate and adaptive. The scientific evidence shows that: Higher vitamin D blood levels are associated with lower rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Higher D levels are associated with lower risk of a severe case (hospitalization, ICU, or death). Many papers reveal several biological mechanisms by which vitamin D influences COVID-19." We generally recommend a conservative 1000IU per 50 lbs of body weight per day.... that is under the 4,000-8,000 IU that these experts recommend after reviewing over 188 papers but is a good place to start safely. A higher dose may be needed if blood testing with your MD or ND shows lower levels. In addition to the public health recommendations that we are all following to prevent the spread of Covid-19, a daily supplement of Vitamin D is something we can all do easily and cheaply to support ourselves!

Tune in later this am for my live video and get your questions ready. There is hope!

Do you work sitting in one position for a long time? Or, like us, are you bending forward repeatedly around clients? Chiropractors, estheticians, dentists and dental assistants/hygenists, massage therapists, paramedics and tattoo artists (like Josh) are all at high risk for back and neck pain due to posture. We can help! #chiropracticworks #testamonialThursday #livewell #bewell #posture

Dr Andrews’s Christmas story.

#MotivationMonday thoughts

Join me in a few minutes for a very personal Christmas video on Facebook .

Thanks to the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors for presenting me with the second ever NS Lifetime Achievement Award this weekend! It was presented our past President of Council, Dr Chad, representing the Bay area well

Dr Wanda Lee and Dr Andrew are taking in some continued education in Halifax today! Proper distancing and sanitation are in full effect and allows us to keep up on learning. Scoliosis and mandatory record keeping standards are on the docket - delivered in a combo of virtual and live presentations. It may look different than past seminars, but we can still find ways to learn and always improve our care! #sciencekeepsmoving #alwayslearning #findingwaystoimprove

26 years old today! Time really does fly when you are having fun. Thank you to all who have allowed us the privilege of working with you in this amazing community for so many years. Here's to many many more years of healthy living in St Margarets Bay!

#FridayFunnies LOL

This is one of the top reasons that people begin chiropractic care with us....there are many more benefits that they discover too! #headache #chiropracticworks #feelbetter #livebetter #bewell

It's #WellnessWednesday time! #stmargaretsbay #thinkwell #livewell #bewell #stayhealthy

This is a key supplement

We are OPEN normal hours today :) Dr. Andrew is in the clinic this morning and Dr. Wanda Lee is there this afternoon. Stephanie is in for massage therapy as well. #stmargaretsbaychiropractic #weareopen #stmargaretsbay

Hurricane Teddy got you stuck at home? Join my live on Facebook later this am for another life changing health tip

Dr Wanda Lee is back from quarantine tomorrow! No matter how you get on the table she can’t wait to see you

A little R and R goes a long way.

I am back live on Facebook-regular time today. Join me if you dare

#WellnessWednesday thoughts... Do you agree? #health #wellness #chiropractic

Dr. Andrew is solo in the clinic for this week and next as Dr. Wanda Lee is self-isolating following her trip back from Ontario this past weekend. The rules for self-isolation are very straightforward here in NS - separate bathrooms and sleeping areas and at least 6 feet distancing from others in the residence. We are taking it a step farther to be extra cautious - different dishes and not spending time in the same room as well as extra cleaning, our disinfectant spray and ...our hand sanitizer from the clinic. It is very weird but no problem to comply to keep everyone safe! Thomas is all settled in at University of Waterloo and that area is doing well with Covid (much like here) so it is a great spot to be for school. Some have asked me about the travel...it was a spooky empty airport experience. On the plus side, everything was smooth, on time, socially distanced and very very clean - quite a different Toronto airport (with more Air Canada workers than flyers). This is the check in area last weekend where there is usually hundred and hundreds of people!

Happy Labour Day holiday! As we head in to fall, attitude can be key. #MotivationMonday #livewell #bewell

There are no chiropractic appointments available for the rest of this week as Dr Wanda Lee takes their son to University. The car is packed PLUS hand sanitizer, wipes, sprays and masks are ready to go. As a bonus, a chance to stay with Dr. Andrew's Dad and brother in Waterloo! UPDATED- since the self isolation rules are still in place in NS, Dr Andrew is not able to go but he is taking a few days to rest and do double duty at the clinic while Dr WL is on quarantine.

September is like "New Years"!

We are here today for chiropractic and then off for a week! There are a few spots open and we are staying a bit late to accommodate everyone. Call asap if you are in need. Reopening Tuesday, Sept 8th.

Or go for a walk...or a swim...or yoga...the possibilities are endless but please #moveyourbody on this #MotivationMonday! #stmargaretsbaychiropractic #chiropractic #stmargaretsbay #getmoving #movewell #bewell

#FridayFunnies #walkingisgoodforyou #betterwhenawake

A reminder that Dr. Wanda Lee is off today to oversee moving homes. Dr. Andrew is IN THE CLINIC to take care of everyone (and probably more fun here than moving in August - what were we thinking!)

Lets talk about symptoms.

#WellnessWednesday #spinesmatter #movewell #bewell #chiropractic

Join me around lunch on Facebook live as I discuss the concept of symptoms and what you can do about some common ones ..

This seems like a good thought for this #MotivationMonday as the weeks get closer to kids back to school (and university)...

#SupplementSaturday is here! Just letting everyone know our Turmeric Boost is back in stock and we are honouring the July discount for those that were not able to get it during the special. #turmeric #antiinflammation #arthritissupport

#FridayFunnies

The graduation year has been a strange one with some of life's milestones looking a lot different than we imagined. Dr. WL and Dr. A hosted a few of Thomas's friends for an outdoor "mini prom" this past weekend. Beautiful dresses and fancy suits were a little bit like "normal"!
