Image
It should come as no surprise to you that vitamin D plays a huge role in your body, and specifically your nervous system. As the days get longer, and the sunshine is more popular than cloudy days, now is a great time to start planning on how you will get it. At Absolute Wellness Center , we love to see you make changes in your lifestyle, diet, and habits. While this often starts with regular chiropractic care at the Lake of the Ozarks , it’s followed up by pursuing health in many other avenues! Here are a few things you need to know about vitamin D, as well as some suggestions for how to get it. Do You Need Vitamin D?

FAQs About BrainTap - Part 1

Image
At Absolute Wellness Center , we utilize a powerful technique called BrainTap to help deliver gent pulses of light through special glasses. These lights synchronize with tones known as binaural beats which produce deep and profound relaxation. Research has proven that both the flickering light and synchronized tones can produce relaxed states, and combining the two can provide an even better experience of relaxation. For many, this could be a very new technique, and it’s understandable to have some questions about how it works, what it does, and if there are any restrictions to who can use it. We’re going to address a few of the frequently asked questions in this week’s blog! What is SMT and Brainwave Entrainment?

What you put in your body is just as important in the healing journey as any other, such as getting a massage, getting adjusted by your Lake of the Ozarks chiropractor , or practicing meditation. All of these healthy habits work together to create a wonderful ecosystem for your body to thrive in. At Absolute Wellness Center , we want you to find health in both body and mind - and one of the best ways you can pursue this is through the way you eat. Here are a few foods to remember as you heal your body through diet. Green Leafy Veggies It should come as no surprise that these veggies make the first on the list.
