Feeling like you overdid it during the holidays? Maybe too much sugar, alcohol, or consumption of foods that are inflammatory for you personally? We're here to help!

Did you know that 99% of people in Finland use a sauna once a week? And did you know that we at Nebraska Functional Medicine have the very BEST sauna? Not only is it infrared, it is all three wavelengths: near, far, and mid. These rays are what nature brings us. Those warm, healing rays from the sun? Those are it! It's not like dry, desert heat when you sit in an infrared sauna. It's heat that radiates deep within your body; warming you up from the inside out. 

We all love a warm, creamy, savory dip with salty chips. And many people making dietary changes feel like they will never be able to enjoy those kinds of foods ever again. But this is not the case!

Our founder, Keri, has created a gift guide of some of her favorite things. All hand picked with clean and non-toxic living in mind. You'll find ideas for anyone on your list (including yourself!), that all support a healthy lifestyle. Some have special discounts too, so make note!

I guarantee you've been told through fad diets, "nutrition programs", or multi-level marketing scam coaches that carbs are bad. That you must restrict or even eliminate them to lose weight and get healthy. This is so WRONG.

You're likely reading this because you or a loved one have recently taken antibiotics for an infection. And you probably also realize that antibiotic wiped out your microbiome--aka the "good guys" in your gut. Or maybe you ended up with yeast infection. 

Pass the salt shaker. Odds are you've heard that too much salt is bad. That you'll end up with high blood pressure. We're here to say that's a pinch off the mark. 

One of the most common conditions we see at our office is a patient with chronic inflammation. Yet even when they are compliant with supplements, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments, inflammation can still be a problem. Resolving inflammation is something that takes time and is not a linear process. It's our job to dig deeper and uncover the underlying reason for the inflammation in the first place.

This is a common question we hear. And the very short answer is this--no matter how healthy you eat or what diet you follow, it is really difficult to get all the nutrients your body needs from food alone, all the time. So, yes. You do need supplements depending on your personal needs. 

You've likely heard about the importance of B vitamins. Very simply put, they are essential for the body to function properly. They help create new blood cells, convert food into energy (metabolism), and maintain healthy brain cells, skin cells, and other tissues.
