We have increased our treatment hours and are looking forward to serving you again! We realize that you may have put off care due to this crisis, but now is the time to take care of your body and get the adjustments you need.

Take a moment and take a deep breath. Breathe in your nose and out your mouth. Next, focus on what you can do right now for your health. If you've been thinking about making some changes and "getting healthy" this is absolutely the time to do it. Healthy individuals are able to fight this virus in a different way than people with underlying health issues. Let's work together to get and stay healthy. Here's where to start:... 1. Buy a humidifier and a hygrometer. A hygrometer measures relative air humidity. Research suggests viruses may be less easily transmitted when the relative humidity is above 43%. Humidifiers may also decrease the dryness of your skin and mucous membranes. 2. Move your body. Exercise is shown to improve the immune response by boosting cells that help your body fight infection. Shoot for 30 minutes each day. Do whatever makes you feel good (yoga, walking, biking, hiking, swimming...). 3. Unprocess your diet. Skip the foods coming out of boxes, bags, and cans. Work on eating real food ingredients at each meal. Here are a few of our favorites: https://drkristenbentson.com//my-top-10-favorite-foods-to/ 4. Don't eat added sugar, numbers (like red dye #40 and polysorbate #80) or chemicals. Read the list of ingredients found on every food label and steer clear of stuff you can't pronounce. Eat from the earth, not a test tube. 5. Get vitamin D. Sunlight, supplements, and certain foods (like salmon, sardines, tuna, egg yolks, and wild mushrooms) are key. Vitamin D is known to have a powerful anti-viral effect. Get your vitamin D levels tested (simple blood test!) and aim for optimal levels (50-80 ng/mL) 6. Manage your stress. We are huge fans of HeartMath. This is a powerful tool that we've recommended to many of our patients dealing with anxiety: https://store.heartmath.com/tech/ 7. SLEEP. Go to bed early. Get yourself into a good sleep routine. I recommend 10 pm - 6 am. Whatever the timing, aim for at least 7 hours. Practice positive thinking and focus on what's good. Your brain can't anchor to fear and gratitude at the same time. Choose gratitude, choose positive thoughts, and be strong! Warmly, Drs. Scott and Kristen Bentson
