You’re going to need another one of your 17 ways because this one isn’t working right now. said a longtime client as we were working an exercise for her glutes. Sure I said, no problemtry this.

NAVY SEAL SF CREED LIVE LIFE Life is crazy And totally unpredictable...... It's going to push you over, Kick you while you're down, And hit you when you try to get back up. Not everything can beat you. Things are going to change you, But you get to choose which ones you let change you. Listen to your heart, Follow your dreams, And let no one tell you what you're capable of. Push the limits, Bend the rules, And enjoy every minute of it. Laugh at everything. Live for as long as you can. Love all, But trust none. Believe in yourself, And never lose faith in others. Settle for nothing but only the best, And give 110% in everything you do. Take risks, Live on the edge, Yet stay safe, And cherish every moment of it. Life is a gift. Appreciate all the rewards, And jump on every opportunity. Not everyone's going to love you, But who needs them anyway? Challenge everything, And fight for what you believe. Back down to nothing, But give in to the little things in life, After all, that is what makes you. Forget the unnecessary, But remember everything. Bring it with you everywhere you go. Learn something new, And appreciate criticism. Hate nothing, But dislike what you want. Never forget where you came from, And always remember where you are going. Live life to its fullest, And have a reason for everything, Even if it's totally insane. Find your purpose in life, And live it! See more

Chronic inflammation is the root of all disease. All of it. Inflammation is the normal biological response to an injury. That can be repetitive trauma to the joints resulting in osteoarthritis; trauma to the digestive tract leading to leaky gut; emotional trauma leading to mental health imbalances, etc. Acute inflammation is reparative. Chronic inflammation is degenerative. One of the many benefits of acupuncture is its ability to reduce systemic and chronic inflammation. Regular acupuncture treatments will improve health by reducing chronic inflammation. Kaci Coffee, L.Ac. Acupuncture & Functional Medicine
