The Chiropractor’s Wife has been a little “needy” this summer… After a couple of big bumps and bruises I’ve been very grateful for not only The Chiropractor’s skills and expertise in getting me fixed up, but also his patience with me as I sometimes want to do...

We started a new thing in the office last fall and I realized I’d never included it in the blog. It’s a foot treatment and honestly I thought it was a little strange when The Chiropractor first described it to me (not the first time I’ve had that...

“Cooking for the Chiropractor” blog posts will appear periodically throughout this year and highlight recipes we use and enjoy on a regular basis. I’ve had more than one person ask me, after they’ve gotten to know my husband a little bit (or...

When I married The Chiropractor, there was a unique reason why my brother’s wife was especially excited for him to join the family. (Aside from the chiro care he brought along.) His healthy eating and hence my catering to his healthy eating (eh, more or...

This started as an Instagram post last year but I realized this might also be a good place to share… The Monday morning after Thanksgiving last year I woke up and could hardly move. I was incredibly stiff and just felt terrible overall. I was scheduled for a...

“The Cleanse.” It’s become its own entity. I’m not talking coffee enemas, apple cider vinegar for 3 days, or excessive fasting. The cleanse I’m referring to is a 21-day detoxification program designed by Standard Process, a supplement...

I have a bit of a split personality when it comes to Halloween. Sometimes I’m really put off by the dark side that some people get really into (I’ve never been a fan of horror movies)…but the cheesy dressing-up and costume contests–I’m...

The Chiropractor and I attended a county business meeting recently. We were there to learn about some zoning issues that might affect us at our property. Well, we found out that the zoning meeting had happened the night before, and instead we ended up hearing an...

Have you heard it said that chiropractors and/or orthopedic docs discourage the use of trampolines due to the frequency of related injuries? Or if anything, that they encourage a trampoline that has an enclosed net? In theory this decreases the likelihood of having...

To my knowledge, I was in my mid-30s before I ever ate bok choy. Maybe it had been snuck into some dishes previously with me unawares, but it (like many vegetables) was completely off my radar for most of my young adult life. How did I go from that to eating it...
I'm a BYU music ed grad who went on to become a pediatric music therapist in Texas, where I met and married my chiropractor husband (with a whole lot happening in between). While I can barely differentiate between an occiput and a sacrum and really have no business being on a chiropractic website, I can tell you that everything you read here will be based on my real life experience of being married to Brandt. From endless discussions about gut health to encouragement to try barefoot running to his own fast lasting five days--it's a great, kind of weird, life--and one I wouldn't trade for anything.
