Hi, this is Oakdale, MN Chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana, I found this great article in the Doctor’s Resource Center on our website.  The article looks at the connection between vitamin D deficiency and the increase in physical limitations with age.

Hi, this is Oakdale, MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I found this interesting article on the Doctor’s Resource Center of our website.  The article looks at the link between the lack of sleep and weight gain.

Hi, this is Oakdale, MN Chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana.  I found this great article on the Doctor’s Resource Center section of our website.  The article talks about a probiotic that is not found in most probiotic supplements that helps people suffering from IBS.

In a new study, the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii improved quality of life for people with IBS.  Unlike the most commonly used probiotics, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacter species, S. boulardii is a yeast, not a bacterium.
