GMO's & Monsanto

A great resource for information regarding GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms)

& Monsanto

"Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are the result of laboratory processes which artificially insert foreign genes into the DNA of food crops or animals.  Those genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans.  GMOs are not safe, but have been in the food supply since 1996.  Most Americans say they would not eat GMOs if labeled, but the U.S. does not require labeling."

Some Photos of the Upstairs Buildout

A lot has changed since these photos were taken but we just wanted to give you a sneak peak at what's going on "upstairs"!  It's obvious that something is happening up there... with all the dusty footprints around the stairs and elevator... not to mention the banging...  Sorry!

The space is going to be so much roomier... and with BEAUTIFUL views... we know you will love it.  

Make sure to fill out one of the surveys in the office to give us your input on what types of things you would like to see in the new place.

In Defense of Food

"Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food." Hippocrates

Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.

Brilliance! Fundamental! Back to Basics! A must read and therefore it tops the current list of gotta have books! Michael Pollan does a phenomenal job of relaying how we veered from a group of people who ate food to a body of folks desperately looking and hoping to justify that what's in the food (specific nutrients) we've chosen to consume is certainly improving our health. Whether the nutrients claim to lower your cholesterol, decrease your risk for cancer, increase your energy, boost your immune system, or help you lose weight (just to name a few), food manufacturers have succeeded in getting Americans to buy based on the added nutrient not the food itself! The book reveals not only how since the inception of this change in behaviour that we've created more disease but that we've lost the need to ask the question, "What's wrong with the food itself that we must feel the need to fortify, add, or inject isolated, unnatural, environmentally imbalanced nutrients into the food?" The author eloquently shares many of the fundamental conflicts of interest behind those creating these anomalous chemical montages (still calling them food), government health standards, bias researchers, and the major implications and subsequent consequences of these decisions. Michael Pollan's articulately and fluently, without persuasion, encourages us to engage in thoughtful selection of our food that will augment our lives, improve our sensory perception of healthy food, and to revert back to the days of enjoying our meals again!!! I hope this book serves you and your family well!!!

New Mom Testimonial

A testimonial from a local mom:

"My family's health is pretty much the most important thing to me, and we do our best to stay healthy and balanced through prevention and education. That's why our infant son and I go for regular care with Dr. Rex at SLO Wellness Center. Not only does he provide gentle, effective adjustments for me and my son, he also provides up-to-date information to keep our whole family well. I trust his approach and appreciate the friendly, family-oriented approach of the practice. I'm always greeted with smiles, kind words and cuddles for the baby. I first brought my son in at about 6 weeks old, and it was the first place I felt I could hand over my son and feel completely relaxed, and that says a lot for a new mom."
