Magnesium for sleep. Magnesium for cramps. Magnesium for constipation. Magnesium for your brain.

Dr Ayla ND and Dr Elena ND here:
Eating well sounds simple, but in real life, it rarely is.
We’ve seen firsthand how challenging it can be for patients (and ourselves) to maintain healthy eating habits long-term. Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools for improving health, yet one of the hardest to implement consistently.
Creating individualized meal plans took hours, and many online options weren’t evidence-based or tailored to specific health conditions.
That’s exactly why we built Framework Nutrition.
A meal planning platform built by clinicians, reviewed by clinicians, and designed for how people actually eat.

Everyone’s talking about peptides. But do you actually know what one is?
Insulin? A peptide. Endorphins? Peptides.

The word covers everything from medications with decades of clinical research behind them to unregulated injectables people are buying online and using at home based on a Reddit thread.

We wrote a plain-language breakdown of what peptides actually are, where the grey market starts, and where we stand as a clinic.

8 years ago today I took the leap and opened my own practice; best decision I ever made!
I went and found the magazine articles I was featured in back in 2017 and 2018, and this quote from 2017 caught me in the feels:

"It was never my intention to open up my own practice…after thinking about it I realized I have unconditional support to follow through. It would be a very different experience without my loved ones [and community]."
Mind|Body|Spirit (2017)

Some things never change. I am still just as grateful today as I was then. To my family, friends, team/colleagues and this amazing Dawson Creek community, thank you. Truly. None of this would exist without you. Here's to 8 years!
