Why Your Healthcare Takes a Team

    Do you wonder how celebrities and stars do it?  Looking so beautifully flawless all the time, jetting  around the world, working on the movie/show/music tour  while promoting their perfume line, saving children in Africa,  and still having time for a daily workout, yoga, qigong, massage, etc., etc. They can do it because they have a team: publicist, image…

Why Being Lazy in Summer is Good for Your Body

Your loving and kind Lafayette Chiropractor, Dr. Christina Alba, often points out that every day there are only two directions we move regarding our health: we are either getting stronger or weaker.

You Are So Much More…

Maybe from even before day one, you were told how weak you were.  You "needed" vitamin K for some reason, you had rounds of antibiotics, you received scores of vaccinations.  To this day you are inundated with ads and messages that tell you if you take this pill you'll be happy, this pill to sleep well, and that pill to…
