I’ve said here regularly that I’m an advocate for taking time off. I’ve also noted that I practice what I preach, so here I go again.

I’m taking time off from August 24 to September 8. Vacation is healthy!

I’m back at work September 8 and happy to see patients after that – feel free to book ahead.

For anyone who needs supplements, my office will still be open if you want to pick them up.

See you in September! In the meantime, I challenge you to also consider taking time off—even if it’s just a day or a weekend. The result can be great for your health!

Hey men. Yes, you. I can help.

Through my years in practice, I’ve developed a reputation for helping women improve their health. So some people are surprised that I treat men too.

For example, I help with testosterone. What?

Men who struggle with testosterone know that low rates increase depression, and puts them at risk for cardiovascular issues.

Just like I help women with their hormones, I also offer natural ways to work on their hormones. Sleep, diet, stress management and exercise are all tools that we try. I even prescribe supplements that can help.

If you (or the man in your life) struggles with hormones, maybe I can help. Let’s chat.

How do you feel stress?

Stress comes out in different ways for different people. Sometimes it feels like fatigue, sometimes it’s a headache. Sometimes it shows up as insomnia. Sometimes it shows up as gut distress, since adrenalin highs interfere with our ability to break down food, leading to indigestion, bloating and gas.

Often, we ignore stress because we figure there’s not much we can do about it—but is that really true? Maybe we can’t cut off the source of stress, like our kid going through a “phase” or our supervisor dumping an unreasonable workload on us just before vacation. But we can take action to prepare ourselves to handle it.

Making time for sleep. Or giving up 15 minutes of sleep in favour of calming morning meditation. Calling a friend. All of these activities help to damper stress and if you make them part of your routine then they can have a good long-term effect.

Summertime and the living is—unhealthy.

Sure, vacation ice cream is fun, but summertime should be when it’s easier to make good habits, not slip into bad ones. After all, it’s the time of produce in season and fruits on the trees.

If you’re ready to get eating healthier, here are four ways to get going. Pick one!

• Find ways to add an extra serving of fruit or veggies to your next meal – maybe strawberries in your salad? Chopped peppers into your pasta sauce?
• Pack fruit rather than granola bars as a snack—if you’re tired of apples, you can also try pears or oranges? Or try out the different varieties of apple—Gala, Cortland, Ambrosia.
• Add new veggies to your barbecue grill—zucchini brushed with a bit of butter, even kale makes an impressive chip when crisped up. Experiment!
• Try an ice cream challenge—let’s face it, your kids are going to ask for ice cream anyway, so why not trade it for trying a new vegetable? Rewards can’t happen every night, but weekly works.
• BONUS TIP: Yet another element we forget about in summertime is hydration—be sure to drink enough water daily!

What are your favourite ways to get veggies into your diet? Please share in the comments!

Hey parents! This post is for you.

Do you ever forget about yourself, in the midst of the whirlwind of piano lessons, sports meets and endless appointment scheduling?

Me too.

But I’m vowing to start again, because I see so many patients whose health starts to suffer from not focusing enough on their own lifestyle. Stress. Poor eating habits that are a symptom of grabbing something quick. Lack of sleep because you’re running yourself ragged keeping up.

It’s that whole airplane warning to put your own mask on before assisting others. We have to start doing it.

So join me—think of one bad habit that you’ve slipped into because you’re too busy. If it’s sleep, try getting to bed a half hour earlier, or sleeping in a half hour later. If it’s snacking, try making it easy by preparing healthy options that you can just grab and go (so you don’t grab another bag of chips from the vending machine). Stock your fridge with apples and carrots. Try to drink more water to keep hydrated.

Or maybe the step is booking an appointment with me? If you’re stressed or sleep deprived or want to work on your diet, I’m happy to get you started and keep you accountable.

It was a great weekend of learning and bonding with my former CCNM ( Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine) classmates at the AAND (Alberta Association of Naturopathic Doctors) conference in Calgary!! I feel so blessed to have such amazing colleagues from all over Canada who all share my passion for optimizing health through naturopathic medicine !! Here is to 20 years since our graduation!

Just a quick note to congratulate my fellow grads from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Can you believe it's been 20 years since May 26, 2006?

Me neither!

With each year, I grow more grateful to be able to help patients feel their best. Over 20 years, I've had the opportunity to put my learning into practice, and the ability to serve my community has been amazing.

Thanks to all my patients and also to my fellow naturopathic doctors for helping build our profession. Cheers to the next 20 years ahead!

Chronic fatigue sucks.

Whether it's one symptom of many in a diagnosis, or if you've received a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, consulting with a naturopathic doctor can help.

As you know, we focus on the whole person. Beyond your diagnosis, it helps to understand what else might be going on in your life, from underlying issues that might be contributing to your fatigue, or even mental health issues.

People with a history of trauma, PTSD or depression can also have fatigue that feels inescapable.

Together, we can look at your diet, exercise and stressors. I can make recommendations for supplements or exercises based on your current routines, and based on what I've seen work for other patients.

Even if you've had a diagnosis elsewhere, I am happy to work with your medical team. I am also happy to supplement their advice with further suggestions on natural medicines that can complement their efforts.

Does this sound like you, or someone you know? I can help.

Happy naturopathic medicine week! This week we celebrated our profession and all the patients who benefit from it! Naturopathic doctors focus on improving health through prevention and teaching how natural medicine can boost the body and complement other health routines.

I’m especially proud because this year I am also celebrating 20 years since I graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) after completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. The next year, I started helping patients live their best lives through my practice.

In the years since, I’ve built a practice that has served clients in Tofino, Ucluelet and now Port Alberni. I am also licensed to treat anyone in BC and offer telemedicine/video appointments. I’ve built my practice with a focus on women’s health (menopause, fertility, thyroid), digestive health, and chronic fatigue/burnout syndromes. I love guiding patients to improve their health and feel their best.

As I watched my fellow naturopathic doctors celebrate this week, I’m happy to be in good company with others dedicated to helping those in their community stay healthy and improve their everyday lives. The naturopathic profession has grown tremendously in BC since I started practicing in 2007, and I’m proud to be part of that movement to give people more options in their health care.

Are you suffering with burnout?

Symptoms sometimes vary, but if you've been through a very busy time at work or even in your personal life you may be feeling these unpleasant sensations:

Constant fatigue. Irritability. Reduced productivity. Reduced motivation. Headaches. Mood swings. Digestive problems. Sleeplessness.

You feel the mental, emotional and physical exhaustion that comes from constant stress, in whichever ways it comes out.
Also, burnout stress can come from being overworked but also from being under-challenged, maybe in a role that doesn't fit or when work feels meaningless.

If you're feeling burned out, don't just dismiss it. Let's talk about it and see about ways that I can help. With supplements and suggestions, but also with a chat. That can be the first step on the road to making a change, and that's healthy for everyone.
