Your shoulder hurts, so naturally you’re focused on seeking care specifically for that joint. But what if the shoulder alone isn’t the whole story?

I commonly see this in my practice - someone comes in with shoulder pain, but a large component of what they’re experiencing is coming from the neck or upper mid back. Once we address what’s happening there, their shoulder both feels and functions better.

Sometimes we have to look a little beyond the place that hurts to understand the whole picture. Pain is complex + your body is intricately connected.

Let me preface this vid by saying these are supplements, not substitutes for the basics. Your foundation is still going to be eating good food first, movement, hydration, sleep, stress management, sunshine, and taking care of your body. Buttttt these can be some really great tools to have in your toolbox when you need a little extra support nonetheless.😊🩵

Last week I talked about how your supplement routine should be unique to you…and I still stand by that. But there are a handful of supplements that I consider foundational because they support some of the body’s most basic and essential functions. They’re nutrients most of us really could use a little more of.

So…I put together a Foundational Supplement Guide because I wanted to cover all of the important and practical pieces of choosing these supplements, from why they made the list to what to actually look for when you’re shopping.

There’s probably more information in there than you ever wanted to know 😂 but hopefully it makes choosing quality supplements feel less overwhelming.

You can grab the guide through the link in my bio. 🤍

Expecting miracle-like results? We’re gonna need to call on the only One who performs miracles. Spoiler alert, it surely is not me, but I know a guy…..😉

In all seriousness, there’s a reason care plans are recommended rather than promising a quick fix. Your body has an incredible God-given capacity to adapt, respond, and heal. My job is not to do the healing for you (I can’t), but it is my job to support the process.

Healing doesn’t happen only on the treatment table. An adjustment can help restore motion and support your nervous system, but your body still needs the resources to repair what we’re asking it to.

The cells that make up your skin, your hormones, muscles, brain, bones, and nervous system are built from the food you put into your mouth.

Protein becomes tissue. Healthy fats become hormones and brain cells. Minerals become bone and cellular messengers. Vitamins become the tiny helpers that keep thousands of processes running every single day.

Your body is constantly rebuilding, repairing, replacing, and adapting. But it cannot build something from nothing.

If we ask our bodies for energy, resilience, healing, focus, recovery, and hormone balance while running on coffee and convenience foods alone, we’re asking for a masterpiece with very few supplies.

The question isn’t whether your body is trying to work for you or not. It is…..always. The question should be, are we giving it what it needs to succeed? If you’re curious about what your body might be asking for, nutritional counseling can help you get clarity on where to start.
