Coaching has been proven to help young people with several challenges that they face. Things such as what career they are thinking about after high school, struggles they are currently dealing with in school, or personal stresses outside of school. As a parent you may want to handle these issues on your own, or maybe you have been trying but would like a helping hand. Coaching will not only improve the relationships they have with themselves, but with you and all those around them. Empower your youth to thrive and succeed. They are the leaders of tomorrow.

IV Nutrient Therapy for Optimal Health
IV nutrient therapy is a safe and effective treatment that delivers high dose vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the blood stream to encourage optimal health. These nutrients transfer directly into your body’s cells and create a rapid change in how you feel. Many patients report feeling a dramatic improvement that is almost immediate for many symptoms including cold or allergy symptoms, lethargy, and stress. It can also be used to safely treat fatigue, mental health concerns, focus and productivity, digestive issues, healthy aging, athletic support, inflammatory issues, and hormonal and fertility problems, to name a few.
Acupuncture for Tendonitis
Tendonitis occurs when tendons become irritated or inflamed, which causes pain and tenderness in the affected area. Symptoms can affect any tendon, but most often happen in the heels, knees, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Tendonitis is frequently caused by repetitive movements of joints, and can range from mild symptoms to more severe. Studies have shown that acupuncture can help reduce the pain symptoms related to tendonitis in both acute and chronic cases by increasing blood flow and oxygen saturation in the affected area. It’s important to seek help for tendonitis pain as soon as possible for the most effective relief.

CBD and THC – Know the Difference
Cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for creating a state of homeostasis in the body by regulating various functions. THC and CBD offer similar health benefits – increasing energy, providing an overall sense of wellness, decreased discomfort, or an improved mental state. However, CBD can be taken without becoming inebriated, THC on the other hand can cause a feeling of intoxication due to the euphoric effects on the brain. Both THC and CBD are extracted from cannabis plants. Knowing these differences will help you make well-informed decisions when purchasing cannabis products.
