Join AlignSD’s 21-Day Purification Challenge: Detox Before You Retox (Nov 3–23, 2025). Cleanse naturally, boost energy, improve digestion & feel lighter heading into the season. **Full Content:** Join AlignSD’s November Purification Challenge: Detox Before You Retox The holidays are a time for joy, celebration, and connection—but they can also be a season of overindulgence, stress, and fatigue. What if you could prepare your body ahead of time, so you walk into the holidays feeling light, energized, and clear-headed? At AlignSD Wellness Center in San Diego, we’re excited to host our November Purification Challenge: Detox Before You Retox, running from November 3 – November 23, 2025. This 21-day guided cleanse uses the Standard Process Purification Program, a science-backed system that helps your body naturally release toxins, reset digestion, and restore energy. Why Purification Matters Every day, our bodies are exposed to toxins—through food additives, processed ingredients, environmental pollutants, and even normal metabolic function. Over time, this “toxic load” can contribute to: Fatigue or poor sleep Digestive discomfort and bloating Brain fog or reduced mental clarity Food cravings and weight gain Low libido Skin issues like acne or eczema Joint discomfort While your body is designed to detox on its own, it can become overburdened. The purification program offers additional nutritional support to help your liver, kidneys, and digestive system function at their best. What the Program Includes During the 21-day challenge, you’ll receive: Daily supplements & shakes (original, dairy-free, chocolate, or vanilla) for whole-food-based nutrition Meal planning guides & recipes to keep eating enjoyable and easy Opening & closing Zoom sessions for group support and accountability One-on-one health metrics tracking (weight, BMI, body fat %, blood pressure, measurements, photos) Motivational emails to keep you on track Private Facebook group access for community encouragement and recipe sharing Optional sauna package to enhance detoxification The plan begins with a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, then reintroduces lean proteins on day 11. By focusing on clean, whole foods and targeted supplementation, the program supports both detoxification and long-term healthy habits. What You’ll Gain Participants often report: Increased energy and better sleep Clearer skin and brighter mood Reduced cravings and bloating Improved digestion and metabolism Sustainable weight management A new, healthier relationship with food This isn’t a crash diet. It’s a reset that helps you build a foundation for a healthier lifestyle going forward. Event Details November 3 – November 23, 2025 AlignSD Wellness Center | San Diego, CA Hybrid format: in-person support + virtual meetings & online group Join the Challenge Don’t wait until January to make a change.

Learn the science behind NIR therapy for egg and sperm quality, plus when and how to safely incorporate it into your preconception journey. **Full Content:** Starting a family later in life isn't uncommon these days, but it often comes with a host of discouraging statistics: declining egg quality, lower ovarian reserve, and increased risks for both partners. When my husband and I began planning for pregnancy in our 40s, I was determined not to approach this chapter with fear, but with intention, knowledge, and trust in the body's ability to heal and thrive. As a chiropractor and holistic wellness provider with years of experience supporting women through the perinatal period, I knew there were powerful ways to optimize our fertility naturally—tools that support the body's internal environment rather than override it. One of the several strategies we incorporated? Near infrared (NIR) sauna therapy. Why We Started With a 120-Day Fertility Prep Window Research shows that it takes approximately 90 days for both eggs and sperm to mature before they're ready for ovulation and ejaculation. So instead of waiting until we were "trying" to conceive, we backtracked four months to give our bodies time to reset and rebuild: 30 days for detox and body preparation, followed by 90 days of focused preconception support. Our Preconception Plan included: A 21-Day Purification to support liver function and hormonal balance Reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors (cleaner food, skincare, and home products) Stress reduction strategies, including sleep hygiene and nervous system support Frequent use of near infrared sauna therapy for detoxification, hormonal regulation, and enhanced cellular energy Why Near Infrared Sauna? Unlike traditional dry or steam saunas, near infrared (NIR) saunas emit a specific wavelength of light that penetrates deeper into the tissues. This light is absorbed by our cells—specifically, the mitochondria within the cell—which reduces inflammation, promotes detoxification, and, particularly important when it comes to egg and sperm health, boosts energy production (ATP). What the Research Says 1. Improved Egg & Sperm Quality Egg cells contain 200x more mitochondria than typical cells. Mitochondrial health is essential for energy production, oocyte maturation, and chromosomal stability. NIR sauna therapy enhances ATP production and reduces oxidative DNA damage, improving both egg quality and reducing age-related risks like aneuploidy. Studies on mitochondrial function in egg cells have shown these connections to be crucial for fertility. In men, NIR exposure has been shown to increase sperm motility, morphology, and count by boosting mitochondrial efficiency and reducing oxidative stress. Research on light therapy and sperm quality demonstrates these improvements in male fertility parameters. 2. Hormonal Regulation & Endometrial Health NIR light stimulates the pituitary gland, which plays a central role in regulating reproductive hormones like LH, FSH, and estrogen. It also improves blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, supporting follicle development and endometrial receptivity.

Join our free event on April 5th! **Full Content:** At AlignSD Wellness Center, we believe in connecting our patients with top professionals who provide the highest quality, integrative care. We’re excited to feature Dr. Rose Schlaff, DPT, WHC, IF, founder of Be Well with Rose, a practice dedicated to helping individuals overcome pelvic pain, boost libido, and improve relationships using a holistic, trauma-informed, and neuroscience-based approach. We’re also thrilled to announce that Dr. Rose is our guest speaker at the next Inspired Birth Worker’s Alliance (IBWA) Social at AlignSD Wellness Center! This event brings together perinatal and pediatric professionals—doulas, PTs, acupuncturists, lactation consultants, and more—who are passionate about supporting and empowering our maternal and pediatric community. If you are a San Diego based provider who is looking to foster deeper connections within the birth community, join us on Saturday, April 5th, 2025 for this special opportunity to learn from Dr. Rose as she shares her expertise on pelvic health, intimacy, and overall well-being. Register for our free event HERE! — Q: What inspired you to focus on pelvic health and sexual wellness? Dr. Rose: I’ll never forget the feeling of being completely out of control of my body—alone, confused, and frustrated with every doctor I saw. On the outside, life was good. I was in my dream career, working at a world-renowned sexual medicine center, learning from the best doctors and therapists in the industry. I was even teaching at the University of Michigan’s program for sex therapists and counselors—professionally, I was in heaven. But my physical health was falling apart. And I wasn’t the only one. Many of my patients—especially my female, queer, and BIPOC clients struggling with pelvic pain, painful intimacy, and low desire—shared the same story: feeling dismissed by the medical system, disconnected from their bodies, and left without real answers. I kept thinking: If I can’t navigate this system with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and almost a decade of studying the human brain and body… how can anyone? That moment changed everything. I made it my mission to learn what it really takes to feel good in your body—mentally clear, focused, happy, connected, turned on, and alive. I tested every strategy to see what created the biggest impact with the least effort (because I love simple and effective). And I refused to recommend anything I hadn’t tried myself. — Q: What unique methodologies or techniques do you incorporate in your work with clients? Dr. Rose: There are three steps to increase your desire for and enjoyment of intimacy: ✔ Take the pressure off – I use hypnosis and holistic coaching to help my clients identify and shift unconscious beliefs that create pressure and resistance around sex. ✔ Optimize the mind/body state – I teach 30-second functional neurology exercises to help shift from stress and anxiety to a state of calm and openness to intimacy. I also incorporate evidence-based pelv... --- ## Meet Dr. Bonnie Fischer, DC, Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Wellness Partner **Published:** 2/17/2025 **Author:** Dr. Bonnie Fischer, DC **Categories:** Pregnancy, Birth Preparation, Holistic Health, Postpartum, Women’s Wellness, Chiropractic Care **Tags:** None **URL:** https://alignsd.com/blog/meet-dr-bonnie-fischer-your-pregnancy-and-postpartum-wellness-partner **Summary:** Pain during pregnancy is common, but never normal. After 15 years as a San Diego perinatal chiropractor, I created The Aligned Mommy Method—a four-phase approach supporting your body through pregnancy and postpartum. You deserve expert care, not just "pushing through." **Full Content:** Supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion and life’s work. There’s something truly magical about this transformative stage, and I feel honored to be part of so many journeys. For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving the San Diego community as a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor, helping women move through this season with confidence, ease, and holistic care. But over the years, I’ve noticed a gap—a missing link in accessible, trustworthy, and comprehensive care that fully supports women’s changing bodies through pregnancy and beyond. Many of my patients have been told that discomfort, instability, and pain are just part of the deal, something they have to "push through" until their baby arrives. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Pain during pregnancy is common, but it is never normal. It’s a signal from the body that there is underlying dysfunction that deserves to be acknowledged and addressed. That’s why I created The Aligned Mommy Method—a four-phase approach designed to balance and support the body through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. The Aligned Mommy Method: A Smarter Approach to Perinatal Care Your body is brilliantly designed to carry, birth, and recover from having a baby. But the rapid changes of pregnancy—shifting posture, ligament laxity, and altered biomechanics—can create imbalances that lead to pain, instability, and unnecessary discomfort. The Aligned Mommy Method bridges the gap between traditional perinatal care and proactive, holistic bodywork. It’s not just about managing symptoms—it’s about understanding your body, optimizing alignment, and preparing for birth and postpartum recovery with intention. Here’s how we do it: Phase 1: Align, ADLs & Nutrition Learn why relaxin (the pregnancy hormone) is helpful—but why instability can often lead to pain Begin targeted alignment work to ease common pregnancy discomforts Modify posture & movement for a safer, more supported pregnancy Identify common pregnancy symptoms that can be safely managed with targeted nutrition Experience the Webster Technique & Dynamic Body Balance to ease tension and optimize your body’s readiness for birth Phase 2: Mobilize & Strengthen Incorporate gentle, tailored exercises to support your changing body Learn movement patterns that soften & mobilize the pelvis for an easier birth Strengthen your “laboring muscles” for endurance during delivery Use mobility & strength to reduce the intensity of common pregnancy pains, including low back and pelvic discomfort Phase 3: Birth Comfort Measures Bring your partner in for a hands-on session to learn labor comfort techniques Feel empowered creating your own Comfort Measures Plan (no matter your birth preferences) Master breathing techniques for labor and stress management Understand how your nervous system influences labor progression Learn pelvic mechanics & optimal laboring positions for a... --- ## The Hidden Hip Flexor Crisis: How Psoas Inhibition Sabotages Your Movement and What to Do About It **Published:** 5/8/2024 **Author:** Dr. Bonnie Fischer, DC **Categories:** Chiropractic Care, Wellness, Holistic Health **Tags:** None **URL:** https://alignsd.com/blog/the-hidden-hip-flexor-crisis-how-psoas-inhibition-sabotages-your-movement-and-what-to-do-about-it **Summary:** Ever feel like you're dragging your leg when walking? That mysterious knee pain might actually be psoas inhibition—when your most important hip muscle "forgets" how to work. Dr. Bonnie Fischer, DC explains how this hidden dysfunction sabotages movement and the comprehensive approach to fix it. **Full Content:** Do you ever feel like you're dragging your leg when you walk? Struggle with mysterious knee pain that doesn't seem to have an obvious cause? Experience that nagging lower back discomfort that just won't go away no matter how much you stretch? The culprit might be hiding in plain sight: psoas inhibition—a common but widely misunderstood condition that's sabotaging your movement patterns and creating a cascade of problems throughout your body. While most people have heard of tight hip flexors, psoas inhibition is an entirely different beast. It's not about a muscle being too tight—it's about a crucial muscle essentially "forgetting" how to work properly. And when your psoas stops doing its job, everything else has to compensate. Meet Your Psoas: The Unsung Hero of Movement Your psoas major is arguably one of the most important muscles you've never thought about. This deep core muscle connects your spine to your thighbone, making it the only muscle that directly links your upper and lower body. Here's what your psoas does every single day: Flexes your hip when you walk, climb stairs, or get out of a chair Stabilizes your spine during standing and movement Maintains the natural curve in your lower back Acts as a primary postural muscle that keeps you upright Think of your psoas as the conductor of your movement orchestra. When it's working properly, everything flows smoothly. When it's inhibited, the entire symphony falls apart. The Domino Effect: What Happens When Your Psoas Shuts Down Your Body's Compensation Game When your psoas stops functioning properly, your body doesn't just accept defeat—it adapts. But these adaptations come at a cost. Neighboring muscles become overworked as they try to pick up the slack. Your quadriceps, tensor fasciae latae, and even your lower back muscles start working overtime, leading to: Chronic muscle fatigue and strain Increased injury risk Persistent aches and pains in seemingly unrelated areas Research reveals a troubling connection: Studies show a direct correlation between decreased psoas muscle volume and disc herniation at the same spinal level. When your psoas weakens, your spine loses a crucial stabilizer. The Hip Instability Cascade Your psoas isn't just a hip flexor—it's a hip stabilizer. When it becomes inhibited, your entire hip complex becomes unstable. This instability makes it nearly impossible for your other hip muscles to function properly: Glutes weaken because they can't contract effectively in an unstable environment Adductors become overactive as they try to provide stability Deep hip rotators shut down when they can't get proper neurological input This creates a vicious cycle: the more unstable your hip becomes, the more your psoas shuts down, leading to even greater instability. The Walking Dead: How Inhibition Changes Your Gait One of the most telling signs of psoas inhibition is how it changes the way you move. You might notice: Hip circumduction—that characteristi... --- ## The Aligned Mommy Method: Dr. Bonnie Fischer's Holistic Pregnancy & Postpartum Care **Published:** 3/22/2024 **Author:** Dr. Bonnie Fischer **Categories:** Pregnancy, Chiropractic Care **Tags:** Prenatal Chiropractic, Webster Technique **URL:** https://alignsd.com/blog/meet-dr-bonnie-fischer-your-pregnancy-postpartum-wellness-partner **Summary:** Dr. Bonnie Fischer's four-phase approach helps women address pregnancy pain, optimize alignment, and prepare for birth and postpartum recovery with confidence. **Full Content:** Meet Dr. Bonnie Fischer, Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Wellness Partner Supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion and life’s work.

Dr. Bonnie Fischer, DC reveals why chiropractic care achieves a 50% reduction in headache days—and how you can reclaim your headache-free life. **Full Content:** If you're one of the 27.9 million Americans living with recurring headaches, you know the frustration all too well. The throbbing pain that derails your day, the missed work meetings, the canceled plans with family—headaches don't just hurt, they steal your life one episode at a time. But here's what might surprise you: less than half of people who meet the criteria for migraines are diagnosed correctly. Even more concerning? 62% of family practice residents report feeling unprepared to treat headache patients effectively. This diagnostic gap means millions of people are suffering unnecessarily, cycling through treatments that don't address the root cause of their pain. The good news? With proper diagnosis and treatment, headaches are highly manageable—and in many cases, completely preventable. The Hidden Truth About Headaches Headaches aren't just "part of life" that you have to endure. Each type has distinct causes, triggers, and most importantly, effective treatments. The key is understanding what type you're dealing with and addressing the underlying dysfunction rather than just masking symptoms. Let's break down the most common types and what your body is really trying to tell you. Migraines: More Than Just a Bad Headache Migraines affect nearly 28 million Americans, with women being disproportionately impacted. If you experience severe head pain accompanied by light sensitivity, nausea, or visual changes, you're likely dealing with migraines rather than typical headaches. The menstrual connection: 60% of migraine attacks in women are linked to their menstrual cycle, specifically estrogen withdrawal. This hormonal trigger explains why many women notice their migraines follow a predictable monthly pattern. The productivity impact: Research shows that 51% of migraine sufferers experience at least a 50% decrease in productivity during episodes. That's not just personal suffering—it's a significant impact on your career and daily responsibilities. Cervicogenic Headaches: When Your Neck is the Culprit These headaches start at the base of your skull or upper neck and travel upward. What makes them unique? They're triggered by specific head movements or sustained positions—like hunching over your computer for hours or sleeping in an awkward position. Given our increasingly sedentary, screen-heavy lifestyles, cervicogenic headaches have become remarkably common. Poor posture creates a cascade of problems: tight muscles, stiff joints, and irritated nerves that refer pain directly to your head. The silver lining? Since these headaches have a clear mechanical cause, they often respond dramatically well to targeted treatment. Tension Headaches: The Stress Connection These are the most common headaches, typically building throughout the day as stress accumulates. Research reveals they're more prevalent among people facing significant life stressors—unemployment, financial strain, or disability. The stress cycle: Tension headaches create t... --- ## Community Events & Workshops AlignSD Wellness hosts and participates in community events to promote health education and wellness in San Diego.
