BACKing up your Health


Back pain is something that I have experienced for a good portion of my life. In fact, I have not written about it in the past, but I have been to the point where my back pain was controlling my life, but thankfully, I found help. Since then, my life has improved significantly and I truly believe that back pain limits you from living your life to the fullest potential, which is why it is so important to me to help others break through their pain and try to avoid and improve their back pain, if possible.

Good Health Starts in the Gut! 

​When we get sick during the winter months we always question if it was the cold, snow or maybe even a co-worker that got us sick rather than how we could have prevented getting sick in the first place.
