Food! I love talking about food! For the most part my husband and I follow a paleo diet, meaning we eat unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods. We try to eat organic foods as much as we can, as well as eliminating dairy and gluten. I would say in the last year or so, I have really enjoyed cooking more; this includes finding recipes I like and altering them to stick to the diet we prefer. I have found a ton of recipes on Pinterest, which is great resource if you’re looking to stick to a particular diet, or use certain ingredients. Obviously, I am not perfect in my diet and my husband and I tell each other we can always improve on it – but I feel like we have a good thing going. Eat to live, not live to eat. I thought I would share these easy paleo diet recipes for beginners for those who are interested in the diet and want to get an idea of what meals and snacks they could be incorporating into their life.

Peoria Health Solutions
A topic of discussion that can go back and forth for ages is, “What is health?” The individual opinions on what health is makes this topic a hot one to talk about. Some people think that health is when you don’t currently have any symptoms. Other people think that having a symptom could be a sign of a healthy body. It was taught in school that germs cause sickness. We start to question this later in life as we see kids in the same class room all day and some kids get sick and some don’t. We realize that there has to be another factor in the equation.
Ryno Family Chiropractic offers some answers. We are looked at as a Peoria health solutions company. Why would we be considered Peoria health solutions. The answer is because we view health in a unique and innovative way. We understand that there is a common factor in whether a person is healthy or not. The one common factor is that your nervous system needs to be functioning at its very best. If the nervous system is functioning at its best, then we at least know that your body’s ability to health is at its personal optimum. The opposite of this would be spinal dysfuntion. When the primary condition of spinal dysfunction occurs, then the potential for secondary conditions arise. Most people know these secondary conditions as symptoms and could include neck pain, headaches, low back pain, and/or constipation.
The question becomes, how do we know if our body is in a state of dysfunction and what can we do in order to get it functioning as we should. Your Peoria health solutions start at Ryno Family Chiropractic where you can get a complimentary consultation. This is a chance for you to talk with the doctor directly to make sure we are the right fit for you. Following the consultation, we can do a complete functional examination to check for the presence of spinal dysfunction. If both you and the doctor are on the same page and you commit to care, the next step is to start with your functional Chiropractic adjustments. Once we get the desired results we can talk about a protection plan to insure your investment.
In a Car Accident and Pregnant???
Car accidents do not discriminate! A car accident can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. In some cases the accident can be more scary than others. It could be that the accident occurred at high speeds instead of a slow speed fender bender. Just as well, you could have been hit by a very large vehicle instead of a little hybrid car. Another circumstance that may not immediately come to mind, but is of great importance, could include if you are in a car accident and pregnant or not.
The question is, if you are pregnant and in a car accident are you even able to receive Chiropractic care? The answer to that quite simply is yes. In fact, Ryno Family Chiropractic loves and specializes in expecting mother care and would be happy to give a free car accident evaluation following an accident. Dr. Ryan is Webster Certified which provides a gentle all encompassing chiropractic experience safe for the expecting mother and child. Click the link to learn more about the Webster Technique.
Some expecting mothers think they may not be able to get Chiropractic care following a car accident, which is not entirely true. Any body type, especially expecting mothers, will experience the physical trauma, stress, and arguably even to a greater extent. The first stop following an accident should be by the recommendation of the emergency personal, but after the dust has settled, make sure to get in for your Chiropractic appointment for further evaluation.
Ryno Family Chiropractic looks forward to providing care for you during your pregnancy and beyond. So, if you happen to be an expecting mother and have the unfortunate event of being in a car accident, give Ryno Family Chiropractic a call, and see if Chiropractic care is just what you need to have an excellent recovery and birth process!
Car Accident and Your Car Insurance
It’s one event that we hope never happens to us or anyone we know, a car accident. Car accidents not only provide a great chance at personal injury, but having to talk with insurance companies is a hassle in and of itself. There are many different ways in which to receive Chiropractic care following an accident. These options include Medical Payment, 1st party claim, 3rd party claim, and uninsured motorist claim. This all depends on what type of car insurance you have and who was at fault in the car accident.
The type of car accident claim we will talk about today is called Medical Payment or MedPay type of claim. MedPay is an option on your car insurance that allows you to receive medical care, including Chiropractic, using your own car insurance coverage. MedPay is a set amount of money that can be used for each separate incident. Depending on your coverage, the amount can be anywhere from $1,000-10,000 or even more. One of the best features about having Medical Payment coverage is that it doesn’t matter who was at fault for the accident, you can still have medical expenses covered.
If you are in a car accident give Ryno Family Chiropractic a call to find out what type of car accident coverage you have.
2017: The Year of Goals
All of 2016 is now in the past. It’s time to look forward to 2017. 2016 was a great year for Ryno Family Chiropractic. We focused on congruent growth in order to provide for a better opportunity for the Ryno Family to create a foundation to health through Chiropractic care. In 2017 we look to continue this while adding more efficiency to our office. This will allow us to be able to care for more people with life changing Chiropractic care. We look forward to seeing you in the office and telling all of your friends and family! Hopefully you have had some time during this holiday season in order to prepare for your 2017 and make it as successful as possible. One way to prepare for this is to brainstorm about your goals and make sure you write them down!
Goals are one of those tricky things to do. It’s important to get them written, have a timeline associated with them, and have action steps in order to ensure there success. So few people have written goals and it’s one thing (of many) that sets congruent, successful, and disciplined people apart from those who try the ‘New Year Resolution’ route. If you would like to step your game up even more I challenge you to think ahead 3, 9, 27, and 40 years to see what you would like to accomplish in life and start setting yourself up mentally for future success.
There are good and bad ways to write goals. I will give you a good and bad example on weight loss, because that is one area of health people like to focus on.
Bad: I will lose weight in 2017. This goal has no measurable number or a concrete end date.
Goal: I will have a body composition of 10% by December 30, 2017. This is good because it has a measurable number and a finish date. It’s also good to have accessory goals in order to accomplish the main goal. Examples of this couple be: I will work out 4 days per week every week of the year. I will measure my body composition every quarter in order to see my progress. I will join a gym and do at least one workout class per week.
As you know, goals are great, but are worth NOTHING unless you take action to accomplish them. There are people who like to keep their goals to themselves and accomplish them best that way. On the other hand, I find it very helpful to have accountability partners. This is 1 or more people who you trust and know who will always be honest with you. You need this person/these people on your side because there will be times during the year where you will not feel like taking action. They will encourage you and ultimately you will learn to be more disciplined in your actions so you can become a more successful person.
Take your time, sit in peace, and look within at what’s important for you in the coming year(s). Start by mentally preparing for the future, then take action in order to accomplish everything you ever wanted.
From the Ryno Family to your family, keep Charging Towards Health!
