TLDR: Drinking more than 1.5 litres of water daily will probably help constipation, but surprisingly there isn't much research to back this claim. Combining adequate water + enough daily fibre + daily movement is more likely to get things moving rather than focusing on water alone!

Constipation isn't always due to a slow transit time. Interestingly, some people with constipation have normal transit times. Different transit times mean different treatment plans!

The Blue Muffin Challenge is a fun, evidence-based experiment to find out about your transit time. And bonus, you get to eat delicious muffins!

How do we get "unstuck"?

We change our expectations.

We focus on the steps rather than the end result.

We are compassionate with ourselves when there are setbacks.

We ask our loved ones to support us, like sharing in making dinners and cleanup to free up 20 minutes for your personal self-care.

We show up.

Feeling healthy isn’t a didactic, take-a-pill solution—it takes effort, a willingness to try new things, and consistency to truly thrive.

If you're new here, welcome! Feel free to ask any questions, and if you're looking to work together, head to my website (link in bio) to book an appointment. I am accepting new patients in person in Burlington and virtually Ontario-wide. 🌿💚

Being prepared for appointments = better treatment plan and outcomes.

Your food choices shouldn’t have such a significant impact on your quality of life. If your love for tacos has turned into a lifelong commitment to the bathroom, book an appointment.

Digestion never well since travel? Few people realize that having gastroenteritis due to events like traveler's diarrhea or food poisoning increases someone's risk of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The Walkerton crisis is a prime example. In Walkerton, Ontario in 2000, the E. Coli and Campylobacter contamination of the drinking water supply resulted in gastroenteritis in thousands. This exposure to unsafe drinking water greatly increased the prevalence of IBS in this population; much greater than the general population. Many of those affected had digestive symptoms years after their initial exposure.

Post-infectious IBS is like a "never well since" digestive condition. It's a reflection of just how important our microbiomes are for overall health and a reminder that a single infection can lead to long-term changes in gut function.

This is one such condition where the effects of diet can't be underestimated. It's also an area where gut-focused naturopathic doctors can greatly support patients in understanding their diverticular disease and making informed dietary choices. Fibre and anti-inflammatory foods for the win 👍

About me

My story began when I fell sick in my early 20s. It all started when I developed vague digestive issues – at first, I thought it was the onset of food allergies. Then I began reacting to almost everything I put in my mouth. Gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, grains, fats, alcohol … the list goes on. I was diagnosed with “irritable bowel syndrome,” but it didn’t end there.

Soon followed chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivity, daily sore throats, persistent unintentional weight loss, and chronic infections that could not be resolved with antibiotics. I saw countless medical specialists, all of whom were perplexed by my visits. Your lab work and diagnostic tests are normal, they said; you’re "fine." But I really didn’t feel fine. In fact, I felt terrible, and every day was a challenge. That's when I quit my first career and enrolled back in school.

One of the first things I was taught in naturopathic medical school was that in order to be a good doctor, you must have empathy for your patients. I understand first-hand the complexity of ramifications of chronic health conditions.

Naturopathic medicine came to me at a time when I had few other options. It changed my health and my life for the better.
