Health News Update: Your Heart and Your Circadian Rhythm

Health News Update: Your Heart and Your Circadian Rhythm                        12.1.25

Hello everyone:  The American Heart Association has released a scientific paper outlining the vital significance of our circadian rhythms and cardiometabolic health outcomes. Basically, lifestyle activities…such as meal timing…have important effects on how long and how well we live. The following graphic sums it up nicely.

Bottom Line:  When you eat can profoundly affect your health, and the way of eating that is the most anti-inflammatory and cardiovascularly healthy is early Time Restricted Feeding. You can find out more about this topic on a previous blog at this link:

After long and serious examination of insurance issues,  as of December 8th, 2025 we have elected to stop taking insurance assignment and become out of network providers. 

We believe third-party payers shouldn’t interfere with the relationship between a patient and their practitioner, influence medical decisions, or limit access to care. Therefore, we are a proud direct care provider. We do not accept insurance for our chiropractic services. Your case requires special attention, educational resources, communication, and time that is not covered by insurance companies.

We offer an entirely different treatment experience than traditional chiropractic offices. Our practice is built around longer, more effective, and less frequent visits making it more affordable. This move away from restrictive insurance policies benefits both of us by being able to keep our fees reasonably low as we reduce our overhead by being out of network. If for any reason you need to seek a doctor that takes insurance, we will be happy to recommend one that may be able to help.

Upon request, we can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network benefit reimbursement. Please note that we do not communicate directly with insurance companies on your behalf. 

Full payment for services is due at the time of service. Payment is accepted via credit/debit card, cash or check and FSA/HSA card.

Special note on Medicare: If you are on Medicare, while we do not accept any insurance, including Medicare, we are required to submit your claim information to Medicare, and they will pay you directly.
