Nutrition & Chiropractic Care
/in Uncategorized /by Christy HuisengaThe Benefits of Good Nutrition With Chiropractic Care.
What is the Connection Between Nutrition & Chiropractic Care?
Everyone knows that the organic, non-GMO, and unprocessed foods are best. But, did you know that none of that matters if you don’t have an optimally functioning nervous system? This is where our chiropractic care will help you!
Disrupted Nervous System, Disrupted Diet
Your nervous system influences every single part of your body, especially your digestion. When the nervous system is not balanced and experiencing disruptions, chances are that no matter how nutritious your meal is, the nutrients that your body needs won’t be properly stored, broken down or even entirely used. But, why?
The nervous system is responsible for telling your body what it needs to do with its fuel. If a disturbance is present, the messages sent between your brain and body will go unread.
Family First Chiropractic Center’s Nutrition Expert, Katie Vigesaa, RD
Hi! I’m Katie Vigesaa, and I am a registered dietitian (RD) with a simple philosophy: nutrition can help. I am an advocate of the real food movement and love teaching my class members and clients the power of real food eating. I graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN in 2009. From there, I was selected to be part of Concordia’s Dietetic Internship program. I passed my RD exam in 2010 and have been a practicing dietitian ever since.
The nutrition counseling process is incredibly rewarding; I have helped people with a variety of conditions including autoimmune diseases, sleep problems, fibromyalgia, skin conditions, mood disorders, eating disorders, metabolism imbalances and more. I never tire of watching my clients start to thrive once they change the way they are eating. Increased energy, decreased aches and pains, bright moods, and of course weight loss when needed are all benefits of changing your food. If you want to see how nutrition can help heal your health, all while learning how to eat real foods, I can help.

The Food & Nutrition Connection to ADD & ADHD
November 12th, 2015 at 6:30 PM
Some Information
Can I help my child with ADD/ADHD with nutrition instead of pharmaceuticals?
Yes you can!!
Supplements and good nutrition are great alternatives. Supplements such as DHA, turmeric and alpha-lipoic acid are some of many options. By cutting sugar, processed foods and simple carbs, healthy nutrition will all play a role in brain function.
Boost your brain by boosting your gut! Food really does matter! Here are some essential keys to keeping gut bacteria balanced:
-Choose foods rich in probiotics, (lacto fermented foods, kefir, eggs, fish)
-Go low carb, embrace high quality fats like coconut oil.
-Choose foods rich in Prebiotics- (fuel for gut bacterial growth) – foods like Chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, garlic, onions, leeks and jicama.
-Drink filtered water
Support Options and how to find everyday balance:
Education
Chiropractic Care
Exercise help
Nutritionists
Muscle Tester
Surround yourself with like- minded people
Unity! Everyone in the family must be on the same page (at least the adults)

Feeling Fatigued:
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by rockyFeeling Fatigued: Can’t we just PLUG IN?
Feeling alert and energized doesn’t have to feel like a luxury. In today’s bustling and on-the-go way of life, it’s easy to be feeling fatigued and rely on caffeine as a crutch. If your body is feeling fatigued, exhausted and drained, it’s trying to tell you something. When you are squeezing every last drop of energy just to accomplish day-to-day tasks, fatigue treatment can boost your energy levels so you can stay awake for what matters most.
Fatigue
Fatigue (also called exhaustion, tiredness, languidness, languor, lassitude, and listlessness) is a subjective feeling of tiredness which is distinct from weakness, and has a gradual onset. Unlike weakness, fatigue can be alleviated by periods of rest. Fatigue can have physical or mental causes. Physical fatigue is the transient inability of a muscle to maintain optimal physical performance, and is made more severe by intense physical exercise. Mental fatigue is a transient decrease in maximal cognitive performance resulting from prolonged periods of cognitive activity. It can manifest as somnolence, lethargy, or directed attention fatigue.[4]
Medically, fatigue is a non-specific symptom, which means that it has many possible causes. Fatigue is considered a symptom, rather than a sign because it is a subjective feeling reported by the patient, rather than an objective one that can be observed by others. Fatigue and ‘feelings of fatigue’ are often confused.
Daily Energy and Power are resources we just don’t seem to ever have enough of. Why is that? We were made to live 100 years of zest and powerful living, but our bodies are failing us long before that time. A few reasons our lives are cut short could be:
Fatigue treatment is crucial for everyday functioning, whether it’s for work or enjoying time with your loved ones. Feeling fatigued, stressed, depressed and out of control only contributes to loss of energy. You don’t have to feel alone and overwhelmed by your inability to get things done; we’ll help you manage your symptoms with the best fatigue treatment in Blaine, Minnesota.
It’s a common misconception that the issue of feeling fatigued will resolve itself on its own. Sometimes, fatigue treatment goes beyond a good night’s sleep. Whether your cause is related to lifestyle, medication or psychological conditions, Family First Chiropractic offers solutions that result in fatigue treatment to re-energize and restore.

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. “…a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” – The World Health Organization. “a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential.” – The National Wellness Institute. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.
Recharging your innate intelligence
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Christy HuisengaThey just keep on GOING and GOING and GOING…
Innate Intelligence.
Innate intelligence
Innate Intelligence is a chiropractic term for the supposed organizing properties of living things. It was originally coined by Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic. This vitalistic concept states that all life contains Innate (inborn) Intelligence and that this force is responsible for the organization, maintenance and healing of the body. Philosophically, chiropractors believe that they remove the interference to the nervous system (by way of a spinal adjustment) and that when the spine is in correct alignment, Innate Intelligence can act, by way of the nervous system, to heal disease within the body. The term is intimately connected with the term Universal Intelligence.
Innate Intelligence, as an explanation for the presence of intelligence in an organism is in conflict with the overwhelmingly scientifically supported evolution by means of natural selection, neuroscience and genetics. Although in its time Innate Intelligence had the great advantage of accounting for the very important presence of intelligence in life, the location of the intelligence, the mode of inscription, the type of transmission, elaboration of this intelligence is not well explained by this vitalistic model or concept.
