Achieve balance in your body with Jeff Masenheimer
As late summer comes to a close at the end of August and beginning of September it makes room for the cooler fall weather. It is important during this transition to keep your immune system strong so your body can adapt to these changes gracefully. Be cautious of eating too many cold foods in excess such as ice in drinks, ice cream, and peppermint tea as they should be reduced as the weather cools down. Warming meats like chicken and salmon can be added back to your diet to balance your internal body with the external temperatures. Your diet can also vary depending on if you have any preexisting heat conditions in the body but otherwise balancing the foods you eat with your environment has always been an art in Chinese medicine. This is also the way we prescribe herbs for many conditions and they can also determine the acupuncture points to use. To learn more about how this would benefit you and to receive an acupuncture session and consultation, schedule an appointment with Jeff today.

Rebalance Your Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is one of the most complicated biomechanical symptoms in the human body. It is often assumed that dysfunction is due to just muscle weakness, but often times it is a combination of weakness as well as chronic muscle spasms that can be causing issues.
The most common (but not normal) symptoms affecting both men and women that Dr. Gina Hahn treats are leaking, constipation, discomfort with intimacy, low libido, and feelings of heaviness.

Pilates is once again having a moment. The exercise regimen now includes a wide array of offerings. So is Pilates worth trying to incorporate into your fitness routine?
Is Pilates as Good as Everyone Says?
The strength and flexibility workout is having a moment.
Here are a few elements that make Pilates unique. First, the method encourages participants to focus on breathing and cultivate a mind-body connection, paying particular attention to how all movement stems from the core. Exercises are repeated in sets that strategically work the muscles without exhausting them.
Who can benefit from Pilates?
The short answer is: everyone. Really.
Pilates can be tailored to a spectrum of fitness goals, ages and abilities — professional dancers, athletes, pregnant women, octogenarians looking to improve their balance.
Physicians and physical therapists often recommend Pilates as a path to rehabilitation for people recovering from injury. “It can serve as a bridge back to more normal activity,”Pilates can also benefit women who are pregnant or postpartum by safely strengthening the core and conditioning the pelvis. “It’s a great way to strengthen your pelvic floor without doing hundreds of Kegels,” said Sarah Clampett, a physical therapist and the head of clinical operations for Origin, a Los Angeles-based health company. “Anyone with pelvic floor issues or dysfunction would benefit from Pilates.”
Finding the right instructor is crucial.
To benefit most from Pilates, seek out “a well-trained and qualified instructor” who puts clients’ safety first, said Dr. Bryant.
As Pilates has become more popular, more people with very little training are marketing themselves as Pilates instructors. “There are some people who will tell you that they teach Pilates, and they’ve gone to a weekend class,” said Dr. Lamb, while others “have gone through comprehensive training and spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to learn.”

Praise for Jennifer's Fab 4
One of Jennifer's clients shared this with her recently, best endorsement ever (and can you believe the pictures have been up for TWELVE years?)
"Ran early last Fri morning and then my left hip started hurting and I started limping. Limped into acupuncture at 9 and I felt better. On Saturday, I started limping again. Sometime on Sunday Steve remembered that the same thing happened to him 12 years ago and he was certain running was over. You gave him four exercises that helped him get better in a week and he’s done them every day since.
Steve showed me the index card I drew for him and taped on his office door – 12 years ago!. I’ve been doing these twice a day and my hip is improving. Last night we were discussing whether I owe you royalties?"
;)
These are STILL my favorite core exercises to prescribe after all these years
-Jennifer

Our Favorite Product Right Now
|
|
The main ingredient in Thinksport SPF 50+ Sunscreen is non-nano zinc oxide, the most coral-friendly option available in the US, according to experts. This one rubs in among the clearest of those we tested, with minimal effort. Once on skin, it feels less greasy than many sunscreens, and like most mineral sunscreens—which block UV rays with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide—its smell is more subtle compared with that of most chemical sunscreens. Thinksport is a lotion, which means that it’s hard to accidentally get excess sunscreen on the sand where it will wash into the ocean, a concern when using sprays. Also there is less risk of breathing it in as most sunscreens are carcinogenic when inhaled, i.e. spraying aerosols on the beach. In our opinion aerosol sunscreen should be banned.
