When your neck hurts, it feels like the worst kind of pain imaginable. Even thinking about moving your head in any direction causes a twinge of agony. But thankfully, neck pain is usually not a permanent state. Here are some simple activities that should help your neck and traps feel better.

Change Your Position

Changing your position can be so simple, yet many people overlook this as a way to relieve neck pain. If you sit at a desk all day, your neck might be at an awkward angle for long periods. Or perhaps you have an uncomfortable mattress that is putting pressure on your neck and shoulders.

Changing your position can have an immediate impact on your pain levels and help you relax. That said, if you’re experiencing acute pain, you should get professional advice on how to alter your position. The wrong movement could make your pain worse.

Stretch

When you experience aches and pains, your muscles will tighten up as a response to protect the affected area. The problem is that this response can increase the level of pain and make it harder to heal. Stretching your muscles regularly can help you to prevent and ease the pain caused by muscle tension.

One method that you can try is placing a tennis ball under your trap muscles with your head to one side and your ear to the ball. Gently move your head in a circular motion around the ball. Make sure that you’re applying light pressure and holding the stretch for 30 seconds. Once you feel the stretch releasing, move to the other side.

Apply Heat

Heat increases blood flow to your muscles and promotes healing. There are several ways that you can apply heat to your trap area. A heating pad on low is a good option for home use. A warm neck roll will work well on the go. You can also apply heat to your trap muscles with a simple towel that you have heated in the microwave for about 30 seconds. You can then wrap the warm towel around your neck and traps. Make sure that you remove the towel after about 10 minutes as you don’t want to overheat your muscles.

See a Chiropractor

If your neck pain doesn’t seem to be getting better, you might want to consider seeing a chiropractor. Chiropractors are trained to assess your pain, check for misalignment in your neck, and use gentle adjustments to realign the joints and improve blood flow. If you have a chronic condition like fibromyalgia, it may be best for you to schedule regular check-ups with your chiropractor. This allows the chiropractor to spot any problems early and make adjustments before they become serious issues.

Neck pain is one of the most common problems that people experience. It can be a debilitating condition that affects your quality of life, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many things that you can do to relieve neck pain and improve your overall quality of life.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
