Laboratory Focus: Serum Vitamin D

March 8, 2020

Do you need to supplement with vitamin D?  Today I want to talk about a very simple blood test that often gets overlooked, but is an important tool when it comes to evaluating our Vitamin D status.  This test is known as Serum Vitamin D. 

The winter months are a dreary and dark time.  We are exposed to fewer hours of daylight during the winter months, and this results in less sun exposure.  Vitamin D is converted to it's active form in our blood when our skin is exposed to the sun's rays.  This active form of Vitamin D is important ...

Immune Health: 4 Tips To Help You Stay Ahead Of The Cold And Flu Season

February 14, 2020

While I love getting outside, the cold usually has me wrapped up inside, usually in close quarters with others.  All this time spent indoors also brings with it an increased susceptibility for illness. Being cooped up inside, surrounded by a chorus of coughing and sneezing is never a good thing, especially when it comes to our health.

Essentials Matwork on the Pilates Spring Wall

Spine Stretch Studio is making class scheduling a whole lot easier!

June 5, 2019

Spine Stretch Studio has been offering the same type of Pilates packages for many years.  As you know, we currently have both a pre-enrollment and a drop-in class structure.  In the pre-enrollment, you sign up for 8 Matwork Classes and/or 5 Reformer Classes and that becomes your set schedule.  When life or vacations come up, we allow participants to make-up the missed class.  As you can imagine, this happens more often than not!  This in turn has a trickle down effect on classes being full and leaving clients who wish to do make-up classes in a bit of ...

The One Thing That Will Make Your Whole Life Better

October 23, 2018

Your day:  You wake up, quickly get in the shower, get your kids up and ready (if you have them), boot it downstairs whip up a smoothie, grab your coffee (don't forget that coffee!) and rush out the door.   Lunch time comes on quickly, so you grab the healthiest thing you can (likely a salad, you're all about healthy choices...well done!) and continue on with your day. Before you know it you are sitting down that evening and enjoying your much deserved glass of wine and taking your first deep breath.  

Sound familiar?
