DESCRIPTION
“Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.” – Thomas Dekker Sleep is the missing link in the chiropractic therapy equation. When we talk about sleep, we often focus on quantity related to the body’s ability to recover from a concussion, achieve optimum athletic performance levels, or heal from chronic conditions. However, we often neglect the role quality sleep plays in immune health, specifically, its links to autoimmunity, altered genes, memory issues, and Alzheimer’s disease. Poor sleep also leads to harmful eating habits, an increase in the risk of obesity and diabetes, a higher risk of metabolic disorders, and poor gut health.
Join Dr. Rob Silverman, a chiropractic doctor, clinical nutritionist, and functional nutrition provider, as he shares sleep’s multi-faceted impact on health and why a genuinely holistic functional nutrition approach must prescribe proper sleep protocols.
