The Day I Stopped Running

For over 30 years, Kara Rosenstrauch, D.C., has helped patients at All For Your Health in Monument, Colorado, take better care of their bodies. For a long time, she believed more was better. She ran over a dozen half marathons, a full marathon, and raced the Pikes Peak Ascent four times.

Then her joints started to ache and her inflammatory markers started climbing. She was exercising more than most people half her age, and getting worse. So she stopped running and started walking. Within months, her joints stopped aching, her energy steadied, and her sleep improved.
