A single lab spike does not equal better health. We dive into the viral claim that an upper cervical adjustment “boosts immunity” by raising salivary IgA for 30 minutes and unpack what that marker actually reflects at your barrier surfaces. In clear, plain language, we explain why IgA is a frontline "bouncer" for the mouth, sinuses, lungs, and gut—and why a temporary increase can mean everything from an appropriate alarm to simple irritation. The headline sounds exciting; the physiology is mo...

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) provide valuable insights but are often misunderstood and misused by people without diabetes. We debunk common misconceptions about glucose monitoring and explain why a flat glucose line isn't necessarily optimal for everyone. • CGMs measure interstitial fluid glucose through a filament and algorithm, not actual blood glucose • Healthy glucose range for non-diabetics is 70-140 mg/dL with approximately 98% time in range • Some variability in glucose is norma...
