One of the overall goals to manual osteopathic care is to restore whole system balance and alignement such that the person is able to express their full authentic self. I'd be honoured to be the osteopath along that journey with you...

Did you know? Endometriosis is not caused by an estrogen issue.

Although once beleived to be the culprit, estrogen does not cause endometriosis but rather endometriosis is influenced by our hormones. Growing research indicates that endometriosis is related to immune system dysfunction.

Endometiosis not just a period problem. It is a whole body chronic inflammatory condition that can affect 1/10 women. Main symptoms include: Pain.

painful s*x
painful periods
painful bowel movements
painful ovulation
trouble getting pregnant

Naturopathic medicine can help support those with endometriosis! Reach out if you have any questions or would like a consultation.

Believe it or not periods are supposed to be painless..sadly this is not the case for many women. But decreasing your pain is possible. No more missing school/work, dragging out the hot water bottle and pain meds to help make it through the next several days. I know - I've been there.

Your body is trying to tell you something! Having painful periods are an indicator that something is going on - this could be the influence of stress or inflammation, gut bugs, or imbalances in our female s*x hormones (Estrogen/Progesterone) - and I can help you figure that out and devise a plan to address it!

Acne is the worst. It is so much more than just spots…it can affect our confidence influencing relationships, our choices that influence our growth, and our activities that influence our health. We spend money and time trying to figure out ways to get rid of the acne but it keeps coming back, each time adding to the frustration we feel.

Our skin is a mirror of our internal health. It is important to get to the root to figure out how to deal with our skin concerns. Topical treatments alone are not the answer. We must consider:

1. Hormones – this may include insulin, stress hormone cortisol, estrogen, androgens (testosterone) which all overlap and influence each other and your skin.
2. Gut health – dysbiosis influences inflammation and hormone signalling both contributing to skin issues.
3. Eating habits and deficiencies – which can be aggravating your symptoms. Top three: fried/fatty foods, milk chocolate and excessive dairy.

Then, a good skin care routine – simple and balanced - can be the cherry on top in addressing acne. So let’s get to work and address it! Bee Well IHC Hubbards Chiropractic

Thinking about pregnancy? Start with general recommendations to implement now during the preconception phase. This will improve fertility for when the time is right, and make the process less overwhelming if done in stages.

Start with the basic in advance - at least 6 months+ out.

get moving, implement deep breathing throughout the day, go to bed before 11pm, change all things white to brown (or brown to browner), have 2 cups of veggies per meal, limit alcohol to less then 4 drinks/week, quit smoking...

Need a tailored and more specific plan that dives deeper or provides further support - as an ND I would love to be part of your healthcare team on this journey.

Thinking of setting so new goals this year? Consider…

Starting slow and be specific with goals.
Set 1 or 2 goals and formulate a plan, the more specific a goal, the more likely it will happen. This includes when it will happen, for how long, what will be included or how it will be incorporated into the current routine.

Be consistent and realistic.
Is your goal feasible? is it aligned with and considers your priorities? Start simple and build from there as your goals eventually become habits instead of trying to push yourself to do it all. We often want to get “there” (wherever there is…) as easily and quickly as possible thinking that we must do it all to be good enough. When it doesn’t happen, we think we have failed. It’s okay to take your time. Consistency in a routine is more important than the complexity when it comes to supporting your overall health.

Identify the “why” behind the intention in mind.
Setting intentions and being motivated to do them requires more then the “wanting” to do something. Understanding the why behind our goals can help strengthen our resolve or motivation.
Often times its about what we want to feel. Is it to feel confident or strong? Productive or more focused? more energized or rested? It is about feeling more connected or creative? Knowing why we are working towards this habit and reminding ourselves of the reasons can help motivate us during those times of doubt. It can encourage us to see things less as a chore or restriction and more as a desire.

Need some ideas? Start with one of two from the main pillars of health – sleep, hydrate, movement, nourishment, rest, stress management, or connection.
