EXPANSION

More opportunities for care. More flexibility for families. The same EXCEPTIONAL CHIROPRACTIC EXPERIENCE” you’ve come to know, trust and love.  We are in the season of EXPANSION!

There is something incredibly special about growing alongside the community you love.  Best Chiropractor Fenton Michigan Dr Peabody Dr Rozboril

When I opened Café of LIFE Chiropractic in Fenton in March of 2005, I had a vision: to create a place where people of all ages could feel welcomed, cared for, heard, and empowered to live healthier, more vibrant lives.  At our fourth location and more than twenty-one years later, that vision continues to grow. And today, I’m excited to share another chapter in our story.

Café of LIFE Chiropractic has expanded and incorporated another CHIROPRACTOR, Dr Sarah Rozboril, and also EXPANDED HOURS!!!  

But before we talk about what’s changing, I want to talk about WHY we’re growing.  It is BECAUSE OF YOU!  Over the years, you’ve trusted us with your health, your families, your children, your pregnancies, your challenges, and your victories.  We’ve watched your babies grow into teenagers. We’ve cared for parents who are now grandparents. We’ve celebrated milestones, witnessed transformations, and built relationships that extend far beyond the chiropractic adjusting table.

You’ve shared your experiences in our office with friends, brought your loved ones into our office, written heartfelt reviews, and continued to choose Café of LIFE Chiropractic as part of your family’s wellness journey.

Our growth is a direct reflection of your trust, loyalty, and referrals.

And for that, I am deeply grateful.  Best Chiropractor Fenton Michigan Dr Erica Peabody Dr Sarah Rozboril Pediatric chiropractor

Expanding Our Hours to Better Serve You

Life is busy. Between work, school, sports, family commitments, and everything else that fills our calendars, making time for your health can sometimes feel challenging.  Our expanded hours are designed to provide more opportunities to prioritize your health and well-being.  Whether you’re an established patient continuing your care, a busy parent coordinating appointments for the whole family, or someone considering chiropractic care for the first time, we want to make it easier to find time for your health.

While our availability is expanding, our commitment remains the same: providing the EXCEPTIONAL CHIROPRACTIC EXPERIENCE built on genuine relationships, individualized care and attention, and a passion for helping people move and function at their best.Best Chiropractor Fenton Michigan Dr Erica Peabody   Prenatal Chiropractic care

Growing Our Team, Growing Our Impact

One of the most exciting parts of this new chapter is the continued growth of our chiropractic team.  Having an additional doctor, Dr Roz, and expanded availability allows us to welcome more individuals and families while preserving the personal attention and welcoming atmosphere that have always made our office so special. From newborns and growing children to expectant mothers, active adults, and grandparents, we remain committed to serving people through every stage of life. We believe that health is about more than simply responding to pain. It’s about supporting movement, function, resilience, and the ability to participate fully in the life you love.

The Best Part? We’re Just Getting Started.

After more than two decades in practice, my enthusiasm for chiropractic and the people we serve has only grown stronger. Our beautiful office in the heart of downtown Fenton continues to be a place where community, connection, and health come together. To every patient who has walked through our doors, referred a friend, trusted us with a family member, or encouraged us along the way: thank you.

SUPER BOWL

I had a really interesting Super Bowl experience this year and I will tell you a little bit about how it went.

Best Chiropractor Fenton Michigan - Super Bowl - Dr Erica Peabody

First off, I didn’t even realize it was Super Bowl weekend until maybe Friday. I do like to watch sports but my time is demanded in other areas of life right now and I haven’t even watched one single professional football game this year, and maybe caught portions of 2 Spartan games (and I don’t mean going to the stadium, I mean just on TV) the entire season.

We missed the entire first quarter of the Super Bowl and started around 8 minutes left in the second quarter. Of course the half-time show was great however I am still wondering why a guy like Adam Levine needed to take his shirt off? I am so confused by that. He is crazy talented and put on an exceptional show, and as soon as he took his shirt off, it sort of ruined it for me. Am I the only one?

Second half started and I fell asleep, not because of the pace of the game, but because the energy the TV puts out is so low and slow that I sit down and zonk right out. I was a little surprised by that but I do not have TV in my house and I do not watch any TV on a regular basis and I feel like my brain was sort of saying “A better use of my time right now is to rest.” We had a very busy weekend and so I am actually grateful to have spent some good time sleeping.

I woke up with 5 minutes left of the game. The Patriots were ahead. In all sporting events, the last minutes are the best so I was intently watching as they progressed through those last few.

Good Game Patriots!!!

Here is what I learned from watching the Super Bowl this year:

I am not a fan of TV and every time I turn it on, I want to turn it off immediately. The commercials are not even worth watching the game anymore…well except for maybe the Verizon commercial, that was really well done, but I am already a Verizon customer.

I learned I value my sleep over anything the media has to offer. The game gathers a lot of energy around it and people get really excited and happy. I am massively impressed by Tom Brady; for his performance on the field over and over and over, that is a given. More than that I am impressed with an athlete who really values health and puts in the work to keep his aging body, and brain, at tip top shape as the years go by. He fuels his body and works out, of course, but more than that, if you listen to interviews, podcasts and read some of the articles over the years, his value on health is right at the top of his priority list.

I am a pretty big fan of the idea that health comes from within and that it happens through continuously doing healthy things, and that we don’t get something for nothing and it REQUIRES WORK!!!! Tom also is a huge proponent of chiropractic care, and not just for pain, but for optimal performance. In fact, all NFL teams have a team chiropractor these days.

Now, I am no dummy to the fact that there are possibly some things that are in the hush hush about his life and actions behind the scenes, I believe those at the top of a game like that have some secrets somewhere.

I also learned that I love my little family-to-be (in 5 weeks from now) and when we spend time together, it fills my heart. I love my future husband and the fact that he will snuggle in on the couch with me for hours even if I am sleeping.

Over the years, people have asked “how do you live without TV?” My honest answer is “I don’t believe much in spending my time that way”, however, now I realize there is a bit that I can learn from watching the Super Bowl. 🙂

FROM SEAT TO SEAT

One of my most favorite things to do is go to a comedy show and laugh.  There is so much that shifts in just a few minutes of good, wholesome laughter.  Last night, I was lucky enough to see Jerry Seinfeld live and of course laughed and laughed and laughed.  He is clever and so funny, and the literal person that I am, I really get a kick out of his humor.  He used his time to entertain the crowd however also used it to effectively deliver a couple LIVE AND LAUGH!messages about health which I was pleasantly surprised!

One thing that really caught my attention is he said something like “we spend our entire days going from one seat to another”.  He was talking about we get up out of bed and go and find breakfast and sit down.  Then we get up and get ready and go sit down in our cars.  We drive to work and then we sit down for the morning, get up to go sit back down at lunch, come back to sit back down at work for the afternoon, sit back in our cars to go home and sit down for dinner and spend the rest of our time sitting in front of the TV.  Have you ever thought about that?  He, of course, added in the joke of “no wonder we are building bigger and bigger seat cushions on our bodies!”

There seems to be a growing trend of jobs that require long, long hours in a seated position.  It is just how things are these days which is perfectly fine.  The challenge is that the body is designed, and happier and healthier, when it is in motion, when there is movement happening on a regular basis.  Unfortunately, the law of inertia states that “a body at rest, tends to stay at rest…”  If we sit all day, we tend to want to sit more, which leads to more and more and more…until life is a sedentary experience.

The other half of the inertia law states that “…a body in motion, tends to stay in motion”.  People often tell me that it is just too hard to get a workout program started.  I will add to that, the longer you wait, the harder it will be!  So GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spend your workday sitting if that is what your job requires…but after that, GET UP!  GET OUT OF THE CHAIR AND MOVE!!!  GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY YOURSELF!!!  Play, dance, run, walk, hike, go for a swim, go to the park, fire up the grill, shoot some hoops, play catch, do something but GET UP AND MOVE!!!  Life is passing by very, very quickly.  Grab something and hold on tight for the ride…or just sit there and watch the rest of us have all the fun!!  …and remember to laugh along the way since “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter” -E E Cummings.

Make the most of the day and spend more time UP OUT OF YOUR SEAT!!  …we only get one chance.

YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

As many of you know, I practice yoga…a lot. I have been committed to cultivating my inner yogi for the past 4 years and spend 2-3 nights at Ethos Yoga Studio in Holly http://www.ethosyoga.net/.
It is one of my passions and helps to make me a better person in this world. My usual classes are Monday and Wednesday night over at Ethos and Friday afternoon either there or down at Center For Yoga in Birmingham http://www.centerforyoga.com/. It is therapeutic for me; mind, body and spirit. It is absolutely one of the greatest things I have added to my life and spend a lot of time talking about it during the day at the Cafe of LIFE. In order for the body to be and stay healthy, it needs to move. I haven’t found a better way to move the body than to flow and twist and turn in a yoga class and would highly recommend it in some way to everyone.
Tomorrow starts a new phase of yoga for me. I am always on the hunt for rich, rewarding experiences and I will begin a Yoga Teacher Training course over at Ethos Yoga. The course is 3 months long and is designed to immerse trainees in the yoga philosophy. We will be practicing yoga on a daily basis on our own or in a class. We will develop a personal meditation practice on our own and in class. We will change our eating habits to vegetarian or vegan. So this is going to be in addition to what I already have going on which is running a really fun chiropractic practice, hosting an amazing Book Club, giving Half Hour to Health lectures, participating in an awesome Walking Club, being a dog mom, and a runner amongst many other activities I am involved in. It means getting up an hour earlier and time managing a little better. It means studying and spending a lot of down time reading and writing. I look forward to it. I will keep you posted during the process.

Choco’s 1st 5K


Our great little city of Fenton has a Holiday Celebration called Jinglefest that happens the first weekend in December. For the past 3 years, my family and I get together and run it. It is great fun because it is cold and snowy and the nights always end up being perfect for a winter run. This year we had an addition to the running crew as Choco joined us. I wasn’t sure if dogs were going to be allowed but I brought him anyways. There were about 200 people or so that ran it and 3 other dogs. In the beginning of the race Choco was really interested in making friends with everyone. By the time we were about 100 yards into it he realized that it was time to work and just got right into that mode. He ran the entire 5K right by my side and we finished strong. We have been on so many adventures during our first week, from riding in the car 4 hours one way to go snowboarding, play dates with new friends, a 5K, and a day with a friend of mine. He has been amazing and I am really excited that I will be able take him on my runs. I am looking forward to the time when he is ready to come to the Cafe of LIFE on a daily basis which will hopefully be just after the first of the year. This morning I dropped him off at the vet to get fixed which will hopefully take the edge off of his attitude that he gets sometimes. He is a great dog and we have had a lot of fun together and it has only been one week!
