Seasons Greetings

We have wondered how we could thank all of our wonderful patients for referring their friends to us.

Since it is financially impossible to purchase a gift for each individual patient, we are going to make a present of our services.

For You – Our Good Friends – We Are Offering
Free Spinal Screenings Examinations
For You, Your Family And Your Friends
During This Holiday Season.

Merry Christmas & God Bless You

St. Peterburg, Fl (June 20, 2011) – They’re found in sports drinks, face creams and even body washes and we’re taught they’re extremely beneficial to us, but when asked what antioxidants actually are or what they do, most Americans likely can’t give an answer. The truth is, antioxidants are DNA protecting molecules that fight cancer, heart disease and diabetes, to name a few. A revolutionary new device called the BioPhotonic Scanner measures a person’s overall antioxidant levels, has been featured on Dr. Oz’s national television show and is now available at LaTorre Wellness Center in St. Petersburg.

I have recently lost my job and the stress is affecting my health. What do you recommend for natural / holistic stress relief? – Anonymous

Exercise is key when it comes to stress relief. I recommend five days of physical activity per week such as riding a bike, swimming, jogging or any other cardio exercise that you enjoy. Yoga and tai chi are also good stress relievers. Meditation has been proven to be helpful as well. Clearing your mind of clutter and focusing on your inner self provides a peace and sense of well-being that will keep you centered and can help prevent you from becoming overwhelmed by the circumstances in your life.

Antioxidants are substances that prevent damage to cells caused by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that have lost an electron, thus are unstable. These free radicals basically steal electrons from other molecules in effort to heal themselves, ultimately creating new free radicals in the process. By stealing electrons, it can cause damage to DNA, leading to the possible development of cancer. Antioxidants are found naturally in fruits and vegetables. Some examples are blueberries, strawberries, red and green peppers and more. The first step in prevention is finding out what your antioxidant levels are. Antioxidant screenings are now available at LaTorre Wellness Center. Call today to schedule this painless, non-invasive and potentially life-saving screening!

I have been having stomach bloating and constipation problems after eating certain foods. Could I be allergic to gluten? – Anonymous

Yes, it is possible that you are suffering from gluten allergy. However, your symptoms can also be attributed to a number of other conditions such as a deficiency in probiotics and/or digestive enzymes. Pay special attention to which foods are triggering your symptoms and how often they occur so that your wellness practitioner can more easily diagnose. In addition, eliminating gluten for a few weeks will usually give you a strong indication if this particular protein in your diet is the culprit.

With teens around the country glued to their cell phones and other modern technology, it’s no wonder that we are now seeing an increase in cases of “Text Neck Syndrome”. As the name implies, the syndrome is caused by the neck bending forward for long periods of time on a daily basis. Teens are suffering from this newly recognized condition with neck pain, headaches, and other symptoms including x-rays that reveal a reversal of the neck curve. Limiting your texting time to about 20 minutes per day as well as stretching can help prevent this painful condition from affecting your teen.
