| Thank you, Dr. Gentempo, for clearing up some of the myths in society about Chiropractic Care. He brings light into the overall philosophy of the Chiropractic profession. It’s more than just dealing/treating back or neck pain. It is about treating and healing the whole body and allowing the body to heal itself like it is programmed to do. Let this healing art help you in obtaining your overall life health potential and lifestyle. -Dr. Jeremy DiMartino |

Most of my patients know that I begin each day with a nutritional smoothie, and I’m often asked for my recipe. If you are looking to start your day off right nutritionally, a smoothie is a great way to accomplish this. Smoothies allow you to get a jump start on your nutrition first thing in the morning while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional breakfast foods, or in my words "The Beige Diet". What's the "Beige Diet" you ask, please let me explain. The beige diet is what the traditional American breakfast consists of, all beige foods with very little to no nutritional value. For example, waffles, pancakes, cereal, muffins, bagels, toast, french toast, donuts, cereal bars, etc (I am sure you get the point). These "beige" foods don't supply us with the nutritional jumpstart we need to get our day off on the right foot and, in fact, negatively influence our concentration and energy levels throughout the day. Research has shown that kids with ADD, ADHD, or concentration issues can be greatly influenced by avoiding these foods and a smoothie is a great way to accomplish that. Below you will find one of my most popular recipes for your morning smoothie that even kids will love. You can hide so much nutrition in a smoothie, meaning vegetables, that the kids won't even know and the taste won’t be affected. Dr. J’s Healthy Breakfast Smoothie Recipe (makes two servings) 1 cup spinach 1 carrot 1 cup of globe grapes 3 slices of cucumber 1 flower of broccoli 1 celery stalk 1 kiwi 1 leaf of collard greens or other green leafy vegetable 2 cups frozen blueberries 1/2 avacado 1 banana 1 tablespoon of flax seed 3 teaspoons of Innate Choice Fish Oil (available at ThriveCWC) 2 scoops of SP Complete Dairy Free (available at ThriveCWC) -Dr. Jeremy DiMartino "The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame, on diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." -Thomas Edison He said it perfect, and although he didn't invent the first light bulb, I can surely picture a light bulb glowing over his head when he made this remark. Well, the future is here. It is time to work on prevention of disease and invest our energy in wellness care instead of sickness care. Chiropractic care is best viewed as restoring normal joint motion to allow the body to do what it is best at- keeping us healthy. To maintain health all we have to do is remove the interferences. Vertebral or joint subluxations interfere with our mind body connection- impeding overall health. You see, the body knows what to do to stay healthy. It knows what to do to fight off an illness. We just need to get out of the way and let the body do the work. I am very devoted to my profession and strive to provide my patients with the tools needed to obtain their maximum health through Chiropractic Care. -Dr. Jeremy DiMartino |
