Why am I talking about conception preparation on Father’s Day? Well, when it comes to preparing for pregnancy, most of the spotlight tends to shine on the woman.

Ever wonder what a typical day looks like for a Naturopathic Doctor who's just as passionate about pushing her body at the gym as she is about sipping herbal tea and taking a break? One of my patients requested this look behind the curtain so let’s take a peek behind the scenes of my daily rhythm where I can show you how I’m living in alignment with what I teach.

Happy Mothers day! Let’s be real— If you asked most mom’s what they want for mothers day, the answer would probably be a break!

Every May, we take a moment to celebrate Naturopathic Medicine Week—a time to honour a profession rooted in nature, guided by science, and driven by the belief that true health comes from within. As a naturopathic doctor (ND), this week always feels like a beautiful pause—a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and where we’re headed in this ever-evolving world of healthcare.

As your friendly neighbourhood Naturopathic Doctor, I firmly believe that food is our best medicine. However, in our modern age, even the healthiest diet can sometimes fall short in providing all the essential nutrients our bodies need. Supplements are like our trusty sidekicks that help fill in the gaps and optimize our health and help us get the best out of our time here on earth. Here are my top supplement recommendations, including some from my personal supplement shelf, for vibrant health, longevity, and resilience.

When seeking a nutrient-rich food to fuel our minds and bodies, we need not look any further than the wondrous egg. Eggs have gotten a bit of a bad rap in recent years due to their cholesterol content, but I consider them a valuable part of a healthy and balanced diet.

Instagram and TikTok filters have brought about the biggest rise in women turning to cosmetic surgeries, with mothers especially being targeted with the ‘mommy makeover’ packages. But what if I told you, the secret to the biggest glow up actually lies in  how you nourish your body.

Are you plagued by mysterious headaches, itchy skin, bloating, or even anxiety after eating certain foods? Histamine intolerance might be the culprit! While it's not a true allergy, it can certainly make life uncomfortable, and lead to chronic inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to increased risk  of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even poor mental health, so this isn’t something to sleep on long term.The good news, with a little detective work, histamine intolerance can be relatively simple to manage. Let’s dive into what histamine intolerance is, why it happens, and how you can manage it naturally.

Protein is not only an essential building block for our bodies, creating muscle, and helping us build new cells, but its also an important part of maintaining stable blood sugar, keeping energy levels stable, and keeping us feeling full and satisfied. Adequate protein can also be a challenge for those eating vegan and plant based diets! Which is why I’ve gathered up some high protein vegan dishes to help bridge the gap and make meal planning easier!
