Why We Offer These Workshops

 At Family Chiropractic, we believe true healing requires more than just adjustments. It requires understanding how your body works and what it needs to thrive.

That's why we host monthly workshops on topics that matter to YOUR health:

Each month, we dive deep into a different aspect of vitalistic health—from nutrition and metabolism to hormones, movement, stress management, and more. These aren't generic health talks. They're practical, science-based education designed to help you:

✓ Understand the ROOT causes of your health challenges

✓ Learn actionable strategies you can implement immediately

✓ Connect with others on similar health journeys

✓ Go beyond symptom management to true healing

✓ Support your chiropractic care with lifestyle optimization

Our workshops complement your care by addressing the pillars of health: how you eat, how you move, and how you think. Because optimal health requires the whole picture—not just one piece.

All workshops are FREE for current patients. Guests are welcome!

Think You're Too Old to Start Lifting Weights? Think Again.

Strength training isn't just for young athletes or bodybuilders. In fact, for women over 40, it might be the single most important thing you can do for your health, longevity, and quality of life.

But most women are scared to start because:

• "I don't want to get bulky"
• "I'm too old to start now"
• "I don't know what I'm doing and I'll get hurt"
• "Cardio is better for weight loss"
• "I'm not strong enough yet"

Theresa Strait is here to bust these myths and show you exactly why and how to start.

What You'll Learn:

✓ Why women NEED weight training (especially after 40)—the science behind bone density, metabolism, and muscle preservation

✓ The truth about "getting bulky" and what actually happens to your body when you lift weights

✓ How to start safely even if you've never lifted before or have injuries/limitations

✓ How to fit strength training into a busy life without spending hours at the gym

Who Should Attend:

This workshop is perfect for women over 40 who:

• Have never done strength training and don't know where to start
• Used to lift but stopped and want to restart safely
• Only do cardio and want to understand why weights matter
• Struggle with weight loss despite diet and exercise
• Want to prevent osteoporosis and maintain independence as they age
• Are concerned about losing muscle mass and slowing metabolism
• Want to feel strong, confident, and capable in their bodies

Even if you're already lifting weights, you'll learn advanced strategies to optimize your training for your age and hormone changes.
