As the days get shorter and colder, do you find yourself feeling more tired, stiff, or achy? In this episode, we explain the science behind the "November slump" — how lower sunlight, colder temperatures, and less movement can leave your body feeling heavy and sore.

You'll learn why your muscles tighten up in the cold, how barometric pressure changes affect your joints, and what poor posture does to your spine during the darker months. We share simple, actionable ways to beat the slump — from short movement breaks and morning light exposure to staying hydrated and keeping up with regular chiropractic adjustments.

This episode is your reminder that the November slowdown doesn't have to mean stiffness or fatigue — with a few small habits, you can stay active, energized, and aligned all winter long.

They're your body's powerhouse, yet one of the most overlooked muscle groups: the glutes.

In this episode, we explain why strong glutes are critical for spinal health, posture, athletic performance, and longevity — and what happens when they "turn off" from too much sitting. You'll learn how weak glutes lead to lower back strain, tight hips, and balance issues, and how simple daily activation can bring them back to life.

We also highlight research from Dr. Heidi Haavik showing that chiropractic adjustments improve how the brain communicates with muscles, helping reawaken areas like the glutes that have gone quiet.

Key takeaway: Your glutes are the foundation for movement and stability. Wake them up, and everything — from your spine to your stride — works better.

Breakfast can set the tone for your entire day — your energy, focus, and even how your body burns fuel. In this episode, we unpack what the best breakfast really looks like.

Dr. Dan and Dr. Pascal break down why a protein-rich meal first thing in the morning helps stabilize blood sugar, boost focus, and protect muscle mass — and why most people's "healthy" breakfasts completely miss the mark.

We also dive into the benefits of intermittent fasting and how giving your body a 12–16 hour overnight rest can improve digestion, insulin sensitivity, and even mental clarity. Whether you're a breakfast eater or a late-morning faster, this episode will help you build a routine that supports both short-term energy and long-term health.

Key takeaway: Start your day with intention — protein, colour, hydration, and movement — and your body (and brain) will thank you.
