The classes will be held at Spero Wellness Clinic, suite 2C of the Wissota Health South building in Chippewa Falls. This is a beginner’s class for those with little or no experience in the Pilates Method of body conditioning .

Pilates is a method of body conditioning focusing on core-strength training through a series of specialized exercises. Participants move gradually through each stage of development. These exercises focus on the “powerhouse” muscles, generally the area of the body that includes the abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks all working together to build core strength, stabilization and flexibility of the body. Pilates exercises are tailored to lengthen and strengthen (sculpt & tone) rather than build bulk. Instruction will be given in proper body alignment and engagement of the deep abdominal muscles. Participants will be coached and instructed through each exercise for proper form and control. (If you are pregnant or become pregnant during this 8 week class, you must get a Dr. Permission to participate).

Please register in person at Spero Wellness Clinic or call them at 715-861-2300.

Fee for 8 classes: $65 per person.

Why "Thick Blood" Isn't the Whole Story

By Dr. Kristie Gering • February 16, 2026
Many people with chronic symptoms are told their labs are “normal,” yet they still feel unwell. One overlooked reason is excess fibrin , a sticky structural protein your body naturally makes to heal injuries. It’s what happens when too much fibrin builds up over time and/or when your body can't break it down fast enough. Think of fibrin like scaffolding In small amounts, fibrin helps healing In excess, it can: Form protective shells (biofilms) around bacteria or viruses Hide infections from antibiotics and the immune system Stiffen blood vessels Interfere with circulation and healing This can help explain why some infections or symptoms never fully go away . Why does fibrin build up? There are two main reasons: 1. Some people make too much fibrin This can be genetic or driven by chronic inflammation (infections, mold exposure, autoimmune conditions). 2. Some people don’t break fibrin down well Their bodies don’t activate the enzymes needed to dissolve excess fibrin. Many people have both problems at once. How this can affect health Excess fibrin has been linked to: Chronic or recurrent infections Long COVID symptoms Brain inflammation (PANS/PANDAS) Fatigue and pain syndromes Pregnancy loss Heart and blood vessel disease Importantly, standard clotting tests often don’t detect this because they’re designed for emergencies, not slow buildup over years. Why treatment must be gentle and personalized Breaking down fibrin too quickly can: Release trapped toxins or microbes Increase inflammation temporarily Make symptoms flare That’s why the goal is balance , not “thinning the blood.” When done correctly, fibrin support: Helps the immune system see hidden infections Improves response to other treatments Supports long-term healing rather than short-term suppression Key Takeaway If you’ve tried “everything” and still feel stuck, the issue may not be what you’re treating - rather w hat’s been blocking your body from clearing it. Excess fibrin may be that missing piece. Action Plan If you think this may apply to you: Request the Hypercoag Reflexive3 Panel (Labcorp Test Code: 505443) Set up an appointment with your provider to discuss the results.
