🌟Your health..Your choice. Make sure it’s an informed decision.
💫There are situations where medications are required for extended periods of time. However, when it comes to medications you may want to ask at least two simple questions.

1️⃣ Are we going to be monitoring something long term? (e.g. blood pressure, reflux symptoms, mood, blood test, imaging)
2️⃣ What are the well established side affects that I should be aware of?
Be your own health advocate. Ask questions, be informed and your health will be better for it ❤️👨‍⚕️ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Some days you gotta nap.

💫 Some days you just need to rest. You can still achieve your goals another time

💫 People in chronic pain sometimes do too much one day and have to rest the next. That’s ok.

💫 If your headache is keeping you in bed, it’s cool. I understand

💫 Parenting can be exhausting and when the kids go to camp, friends or grandparents it’s cool to just crash.

💫Whatever your reasoning, if you need to the nap, be the best napper ❤️👨‍⚕️

It’s a tough time for my musician friends. Unable to perform outdoors this summer. Having to change and try to adapt different platforms to get their music out there and struggle to make a living. I know a lot of businesses and artists have been impacted. I just purchased some music online, looking to watch and pay for live streams. Just a shout out to all the musicians - I value what you do to make our lives better. Support musicians and other artists if you are able. 🎸 🎷 🎹 🥁 🎶 ✌🏼

Dear patients,

We are happy to announce Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health is allowing a gradual restart of services offered by regulated health professionals. Once all new policies and procedures are in place, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Naturopathic, Massage Therapy and Footcare services may start to see patients in person.

We are working very hard to develop our internal policies to ensure the clinic is operating to provide a safe environment which will exceed all of the “Operation Requirements for Health Sector Restart”.

Over the next few days, we will have email, website and social media communication outreach to inform every one of the ministry guidelines that will need to be followed.

We truly look forward to seeing everyone very soon and appreciate your patience as we move forward to make all the recommended changes.

Yours in health

The Living Well Team

Tea tree and skin

Tea-tree oil (an essential oil of the Australian native tree Melaleuca alternifolia) has long been regarded as a useful topical antiseptic agent in 🇦🇺 Australia and has been shown to have a variety of antimicrobial activities.
I’ve reviewed a lot of the available data on tea-tree oil and there some benefits for acne, however there are a subgroup of people that get a contact dermatitis. Other data shows it may help some fungal infections.
However, applying to a small area of the skin first, before slathering it all over the body may be a good way to start ✅ Also, ingesting tea tree is not a good idea 💡🤢.

25 years ago I started working with athletes to help them prepare for competitions. Stores changed their business model to support “keto” products, Atkin’s diet was massive. But after 25 years, I’ve seen thousands of people in practice and each person needs a different approach. For the vast majority restricting carbs to nothing, is not sustainable. If you want abs, try exercising and eating less 💪. Or, get some health advice that does not come from your neighbour 🤓
