Apparently, the term “What’s the tea?” or “Spill the tea” is an old expression from the 18th century that women used to say when sharing gossip. This old expression has gained a lot of traction with millennials and Gen Z as new (or, rather, recycled) slang.

So, I just want to spill the tea in Vernon about some worthwhile and informative “gossip” you can share with your friends and loved ones. This one is about the 4 T’s of chiropractic and wellness. There are stressors in our everyday lives that affect our health and wellbeing. These common stressors can impact the quality of our lives and the overall health and function of our bodies and nervous systems. These stresses come in various shapes and forms, but they can be classified into four distinct categories.

What Are the 4 T’s in Vernon?

Thoughts - Negative thoughts that occupy your mind and that you are unable to let go of. Also, what kind of information and company we consume and surround ourselves with.

Traumas - This one is self-explanatory: motor vehicle accidents, slips and falls, sports injuries, broken bones, hospitalizations, etc.

Toxins - Chemical stress in the form of food consumption: processed foods, fried foods, excessive sugar, and bad/refined carbs.

Technology - This is a new one that has been added and encompasses the many screens like TVs, phones, iPads, and all social media.

Trying to limit our bad habits and reducing the amount of negative T’s in our lives will greatly reduce our chances of developing many disorders and dysfunctions later in life. Share this tea with those who need to know about the T’s.
