A Call to Men

The fact is that your family and loved ones are counting on YOU for their experience of love, safety, and direction. The massive impact that we have as leaders and role models is unquestionable. That’s why as men and fathers, our commitment to our health and masculine integrity – which are inseparable – speaks volumes, then continues to speak for decades and generations. So if you want to change the course of your family legacy, start prioritizing your lifestyle habits because they determine not only your form and function, but ultimately how you show up as a man. “After working together for 90 days, Kai has had a profound effect on the trajectory of my life” – Will Cordingley –

Balance Your Hormones Naturally

What does hormonal imbalance look like? Hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, irritability, brain fog, irregular cycle, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms. If you suffer from any of these symptoms and haven’t been able to find relief, why not try balancing your hormones naturally. Biofeedback testing and treatment help to detect imbalances and stimulate hormone-producing organs to balance the body. Another effective option is to get your body tested to see if it is lacking specific hormone-related nutrients. If you are, natural nutritional formulations can be taken to correct the hormonal imbalance and relieve your symptoms.

Athletic therapists improve muscle and joint mobility and provide pain relief using manual therapies, exercise prescriptions, and taping. They address workplace and motor vehicle accident injuries, chronic or recurring issues, and injuries from sports, falls, or daily activities. Athletic Therapy follows the Sports Medicine Model of Care to ensure effective care. Despite the name, Athletic Therapy is for everyone, offering comprehensive care to enhance overall physical health and well-being.

Pain in the Mouth?

Every now and then, denture wearers may complain about irritation, pain, or even sore gums. Ill-fitting dentures are a primary culprit, leading to pressure points and sore spots. Over time, natural bone resorption changes the shape of the ridge(gum), making initially well-fitting dentures uncomfortable. Poor oral hygiene, including sleeping with your dentures in, can cause gum inflammation, exacerbating discomfort. If dentures are not properly aligned, they can affect bite and jaw alignment, causing facial pain, headaches, jaw and joint discomfort, and many other symptoms associated with TMJ disorder. Regular denture check-ups are crucial for maintaining comfort and oral health.
