Terrie

I was TIRED of being sick & having

no hope of getting better. I didn’t

desire a LIFE of meds!

I have been a believer of chiropractic medicine since childhood,

but it wasn’t until I came to HealthWorks my LIGHT was turned

on.

A friend referred me to HealthWorks . After taking the exam, Dr.

Taylor explained the personal care program she recommended.

At that very moment, my LIGHT turned on. Everything Dr. Jen

was describing, subluxation, nutrition, whole foods, etc. was the

refreshing healing ray of hope I was searching for.

I’m a proud HealthWorks FAMILY member since January 2012

and my journey has been a body, spirit and soul AWAKENING.

My journey results include:

20 lbs. lighter without feeling starved or

deprived (a doable life style)

No high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or

diabetes.

Off all prescriptions as of Sept. 1 (MD

approved). Including: Estrogen and ADD

prescriptions.

No body pain, headaches imbalance or

depression.

High levels of energy and strength

Increased awareness regarding food and their

nutritional healing power

Awareness regarding strength training

Proof eating natural organic food IS budget

friendly

Thank you, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Porterfield

and HealthWorks staff, for TURNING

MY LIGHT ON!

“If only someone could reach up

under my skull and fix that area of

the spine, my life would be

better.”

Book Reviews

Practical Paleo

by Diane Sanfilippo,

BS, NC

$24.99 at COSTCO on

I-75

4.5 stars

This book is 1/4

explanation of body

processes and

nutrition, 1/4

customized meal

plans for different

body conditions and

types, 1/2 recipes.

PROS: Lots of grain-

free and low carb

recipes to tempt your

taste buds. So far

we’ve tried the Swirly

Crustless Quiche, the

Chorizo Meatballs,

and the (drumroll….)

BACON-ase! Yes,

that’s exactly what it

sounds like. All three

recipes got thumbs up

from the teenagers.

CONS: Paleo in

general dismisses

legumes and dairy,

both of which have a

place in traditional

diets. So, feel free to

add a side of soaked

beans or cheese.

Additionally, several

places in the

cookbook recommend

“skimming off the fat”

which we know is

extremely important

for our health. In

some recipes a

microwave is used,

which we know

degrades the nutrition

of the food and should

only be used to store

bread, never cook

with. One last caveat,

none of the recipes

remind you to presoak

the nuts so keep that

in mind and pre-plan.

I’ve been using the

term “paleo” to find

adaptable recipes to

widen our traditional

diet fare. There’s

LOTS available online,

but one distinct

advantage to owning

an actual cookbook is

that this baby gives

me ideas I’d never

think to search for…

like baconase.

Paleo Comfort

Foods

by Julie & Charles

Mayfield

$18.99 at COSTCO

4.5 stars

This cookbook

contains some 300

southern comfort type

recipes ranging from

fried chicken, fried

okra, gumbo and pie

crusts.

PRO: Where else are

you going to find tried

& true improvements

to your favorite

comfort foods? Eating

healthy doesn’t have

to mean sacrificing

taste. In fact, TRUE

health foods should

taste delicious full of

savory and rich

flavors.

CONS: Again,

because this is a paleo

cookbook it doesn’t

mention soaking nuts

(or legumes, which are

excluded all together).

Also, dairy is absent,

so you’ll have to work

it in yourself if you’re

a lactovore.

Another highly

recommended! Let

me know what your

favorite recipe is!

Butternut Squash Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, squash, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until well-blended. In a smaller, separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt and baking soda. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just enough to ensure there are no lumps.

Lightly grease a griddle with your fat of choice (butter, lard, coconut oil, etc) and heat just until a drop of water placed on the griddle sizzles briefly before evaporating. Using a ladle or small measuring cup, pour the batter by the scant 1/4

cupful onto the griddle and cook just until bubble appear on the surface. Carefully flip and cook on the other side until the pancake is done, about one

minute more.

Place on a plate, cover and keep warm; repeat the previous steps until all of the batter has been used. Serve warm with additional maple syrup, if desired.

About Our Events

All our events are open to the community, friends and family are welcome. Please call ahead

to reserve seating.

Mindful Mommy to be:

Designed to empower couples looking for an optimally healthy pregnancy and birthing experience. Understanding basic nutrition- why your body and your baby need certain foods

- allows you to make nourishing choices. Effectively using positive talk, relaxation techniques, and stress coping tools can allow you to embrace birthing instead of fearing it. Knowing the process of pregnancy and how a woman’s body develops along with the baby

eases the process and reduces stress. $20 for each couple.

Weston A Price Chapter Meetings:

Tired of confusing nutrition "trends"? Learn how to prepare and eat traditional foods like our ancestors. Everyone is welcome, you don't have to be a member to attend chapter meetings. To find out more about WAP Foundation, visit www.westonaprice.org. Free for all.

EFT:

Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is the psychological acupressure technique I routinely use in my practice and most highly recommend to optimize your emotional health. Free for all.

Taming the Sugar Beast:

This sweet poison is hidden in many places we wouldn’t even expect- it hurts our immune system and causes premature aging. Find out where it’s hidden and SAFE alternatives. Free

for all.

Book Club:

We choose two books a year that focus on an aspect of health & wellbeing to read and discuss as a group. Books are typically 2-300 pages and read over the course of 3-4 months. This is a laid-back, easy way to expand your health knowledge. Free for all,

practice members receive complimentary books.

Cleanse Workshop:

Find out how our bodies become polluted and how we can best prevent and cleanse for optimal health.

Thanksgiving is a time for us all to be

thankful.

Thankful for friends and family that support us throughout the year.

And a time to think about those who need our support.

The kids at Renner Middle School are in need:

According to the US Bureau of Statistics, Plano is 6.2% unemployed, and this is

hitting the students of Renner Middle School especially hard. Teachers at the school

have asked for support from our community to help these students as the cold winter

months approach.

We often think of poverty as a problem a far off country might face, not right here in

our own community. HealthWorks is dedicated to doing everything we can to

combat need in our own backyard.

This year’s Thanks for Giving event will be held from

November 1st - November 31st.

In exchange for a donation HealthWorks will be providing complimentary

consultations, exams and spinal screenings for new patients to the office.

Current members of the practice will be entered into a drawing to win a Healthy

Families prize pack in acknowledgement of their donations.

The most-needed items include new or very gently used jeans and coats, or gift

cards for clothing (all sizes are accepted, but large preteen sizes are most needed).

All donations will support the needy students of Renner Middle School.
