I was honored to join The Back Doctors Podcast for Episode 289: “Post‑Surgical Care.” In this heartfelt conversation, I share the story of a gentleman who experienced true restoration—first through Cox Technic®, then again in his recovery after back surgery. It’s a testament to the body’s innate wisdom when supported with intention, alignment, and gentleness.

Alongside the technique, I reflect on how basic supplementation—guided by muscle physiology—can enhance post-surgical outcomes. We explore the often-overlooked neurological connections between foot movement, hip flexor contraction, pelvic mobility, and the visual process of finding horizon—and how each plays a role in low back healing.

In the episode, we explore:

• How pre‑ and post‑surgical Cox® care can ease recovery

❤️‍🔥 The HEARTH is a return to what we forgot we needed: gathering, offering, community, expression.

It is not a brand. Not a pop-up.

It is a pulse. A field. A living space for:

• Healing to be witnessed, not rushed

• Artistry to be honored as medicine

Independence isn’t what we’ve been told.

It isn’t fireworks or flags.

It’s the quiet decision to live aligned; again and again.

This morning, I’m feeling the hum beneath the noise. The part of me that knows: freedom isn’t force. It’s fidelity. A slow, rooted devotion to the life that reflects my values, not just my convenience.

I’ve been reading Braiding Sweetgrass, and it’s gently unbraiding something in me. The way English calls the Earth an it and how that shapes how we treat her. Like a resource. Not a relative. A thing. Not a who.

That 3pm coffee impulse? It’s not wrong, it’s just misinterpreted longing. Your body isn’t whispering “stimulate me.” It’s softly asking: “stabilize me.” The adrenal glands speak in salt and rhythm, not speed and sugar. So what if your 3pm routine became a ritual, not a rush?

Try this instead: A 3-Minute Midday Reset

1. Sip

Warm water with:

• a pinch of Celtic mineral-rich salt

A breath.

A glass of mineral-rich water.

A quiet moment in the sun.

A walk without your phone.

A full night’s sleep.

What an amazing day!

You guys…we are so much stronger than we think.

I’m currently training for a 50k ultramarathon in August and traveling this weekend means no time for a long run.

So, I decided to attempt my first ever long run two-a-day. I split up 18 miles; 8 in the morning and 10 this afternoon. Was it hard, yes. Was it worth the effort, YES!

Go do the hard thing. There are no wrong choices, only the next adventure. And remember…feel the rain on your skin.

If your low back feels tense, your system might be asking for something simple: safety.

This part of the spine holds your sense of ground — the place your body checks in before your mind even notices.

When you’re gripping, bracing, or rushing… your root knows.

And it speaks through tight hips, scattered focus, or that restless push to just “keep it together.”

So here’s the ask today:

Today is not a to-do list.

It’s a moment to check in, not check out.

You don’t need to be “on.”

You don’t need to figure anything out.

Let this be your permission:

The crystals used to grid the clinic at Everyday Alignment are out and a bit of moon water ready to be cleansed and charged under tonight’s powerful #strawberrymoon 🍓🌕

Here are a few journal prompts to reflect on, with either Aureon | The First Spiral or with a traditional journal:

1. What has ripened in me that I once doubted would bloom?

Let yourself name the fruits of your labor — even the quiet, unseen ones.

2. Where in my life am I being asked to receive rather than reach?

👣🌱 Earthing 🌱👣

Simply standing outside barefoot for a few minutes a day can increase health and wellbeing. The earth provides negative ions that help neutralize free radicals in the body; benefits range from decreased inflammation and arthritic pain to regulated circadian rhythms and mood stabilization.

Kick off your shoes and get outside, your mind and body will thank you for it!

Nature is medicine - and this kind of connection is real. We don’t need more of anything, only to remember we already part of everything. Next time you are on a walk and it’s not windy, try this.🌱✨

This isn’t about rejecting modern medicine.

It’s about having options and listening to your body.

Start simple.

Learn as you go.

Trust your pace.

From bright blue eggs to soft, trembling hatchlings…from fragile fluff to open-beaked hunger for life — we’ve been graced to witness the spiral.

These baby robins remind us:

Healing takes time.

Becoming is messy.

And growth often looks still before it flies.

You don’t have to conquer the week — you only need to arrive in it.

Begin with breath.

Begin with presence.

Begin with one choice that feels aligned, not obligated.

This morning, ask yourself:

Beautiful day for a hike! Share your outdoor adventures below ☀️

As the seasons shift and energy rises, your body craves clarity, vitality, and natural momentum.

Catalyn® is a foundational whole food multivitamin — designed to awaken your system with concentrated nutrients sourced directly from nature.

It supports:

• Cellular energy production

• Immune system readiness

• A nourished baseline for seasonal movement + renewal

You don’t have to hustle your way into healing.

Your body already knows the way — it just needs your presence.

“Listen to your body, and understand the why.”

Eating breakfast can help stabilize blood sugar, boost metabolism, and fuel your brain for a focused, energized day.

Intermittent fasting can give your digestive system a rest, support cellular repair, and help balance insulin levels over time.

Both choices have powerful benefits. Some days, you may feel strong eating a nutrient-dense breakfast. Other days, you might thrive by waiting a little longer to eat.

It’s not about rules, it’s about rhythms. Tune into your hunger, your energy, and your body’s needs. Empowered health is built on understanding your body and trusting it.

Need help figuring out which choice is best for you or how to tune in and listen to your needs?

Magnesium is often the missing piece in the healing puzzle—and when paired with chiropractic care, cupping, and whole food support, it can be a game-changer.

Let’s get to the root.

Not sure if you’re low on magnesium? Come in for a personalized consult and get guidance that’s grounded, holistic, and designed for your healing.

Today is Earth Day; a moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect. At Everyday Alignment, we believe that healing doesn’t just happen to us, it happens with us, in rhythm with the earth beneath our feet.

The soil that grows our food.

The air that fills our lungs.

The water that moves through our bodies.

The sunlight that guides our cycles.

When we care for the earth, we care for ourselves. And when we tend to our bodies, minds, and spirits, we’re more able to show up for this planet with clarity and purpose.

We know that taking pain medication and NSAIDs come with health risks so it’s best to find natural alternatives and use them first, saving the medications for severe pain management.

Here’s our go-to for natural and fast pain relief

• Arnicare Gel - homeopathic topical anti-inflammatory helps to decrease pain, joint stiffness, swelling and bruising.

• Bio-Freeze - this topical has powerful menthol that knocks out pain and has a cooling effect.

• Magnesium Spray - a topical supplement that helps relax muscles, reduce cramps, and support overall relaxation.

Healing isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about feeling safe in your body again.

At Everyday Alignment, we don’t rush the process. We honor the pauses, the unwinding, and the gentle remembering of who you are beneath the tension.

Your nervous system has a story. We help you listen.

This year, I’ve been challenging myself to make choices that truly reflect my values…and this next one is big!

Crystal and Lee not only own and operate Hidden Creek Farm, they do it in a way that honors the land and animals they raise. Primarily a meat farm, they offer organic pasture-raised cow, pig, goat, rabbit, duck and chicken, each with their own season of harvest and butchering. They also offer eggs during laying season, a goat milk share, heirloom vegetables and they have a variety of locally sourced goods in their Farmacy on the property.

I am all for diving in; gardening, growing my own herbs and attempting veggies. And I think being self-sustainable and connected to the earth is a worthy endeavor. I even contemplated pulling a permit to have chickens in the backyard of the clinic - let’s be honest, that may still happen! But what I…

March 20th marks the equinox and the first day of Spring. The balance of light and dark help stir our anticipation for warmer days and sunshine, restoring our energy. Although the freeze from winter may still be present, trees are beginning to bud, early spring flowers are growing and now is the time to prepare your home and heart for the brighter and more active months ahead. A deep clean and organization creates space for new projects and summer get togethers. It’s also a good time to do a gentle detox to help shed the heaviness of winter - think whole foods, lots of fiber and lean protein.

The Spring Equinox represents an energetic on-switch where we begin to find excitement and momentum after the long winter days of hibernation — set intentions that involve fresh opportunities. What new things would you like to focus on this year?!
