Every month brings with it a new theme to my clinic – last month, it was sleep. Whether you’ve tossed and turned once or twice or have been counting sheep for months, sleeplessness is something familiar to us all.
Sure enough, a 2015 study reported by Science magazine found Portugal to be one of the most restless countries in Europe, with almost 30% of adults grappling with sleep problems.

Several women came to me last month with hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function. All had different symptoms, but had one thing in common: they had all been diagnosed with something else.

This is a story of my hairstylist Ana, Vidal Sassoon trained and a former backstage hairstylist with TONI&GUY. She is the best hairdresser I have known so far: perfection and beauty is her signature in her work.
Ana Mamic-Langley, originally from Zagreb, fell in love with an English guy. Their love soon culminated into their marriage and she bore a beautiful child, a boy named Jyoti Prem, which means a “flame of love” in Sanskrit.

Before reading this article, close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths. Feel a little calmer? You’ve just tapped into your Vagus nerve.
The Vagus or ‘wandering’ nerve starts in the brainstem, just behind the ears, and travels down the neck and all through the chest and abdomen, connecting the brain with the lungs, heart, spleen, gut, kidneys and reproductive organs.
As you may know, Doctors of Chiropractic diagnose and treat many different spinal disorders that cause musculoskeletal or nerve pain. When you make that first appointment, your chiropractor will perform a physical and neurological examination as part of the process of making an accurate diagnosis.
At Lagos Health Chiropractic, for example, we’ll check your reflexes, your muscles, your movement, your posture and your blood pressure. We’ll also go through a comprehensive health questionnaire to make sure we know as much about you as we can before we start treatment. Then we set to work to make your pain go away and give you more mobility.
