This new research has been making headlines, but is melatonin really bad for your heart?

The complicated truth is always more nuanced than a headline (or even this video!) can explain. Here are some of my thoughts on the science behind the headlines and what I'm thinking about it for my clinical practice.

As always, this isn't medical advice. Always check in with your health care team for advice on your own supplements and the risks and benefits for you.

The same kind of diet changes we know support your heart health and longevity also have research in anxiety! In this study you can see the improvements I've been noticing for over a decade in participants in the Tranquil Minds Program. You can start the Tranquil Minds Program at home or - for Ontario Residents - by working with me.Send me a DM and lets figure out which option is right for you.

Sometimes working on our mental health feels hard - especially when we are already struggling. In this episode Dr. Jola Sikorski ND shares her defence of hobbies. Inspired by a presentation in our mental health fellowship group - Jola brings brilliance, humour and a dash of real talk to this inspiring conversation about the benefits that can happen when we let ourselves engage in activities beyond "productivity"

With sensitivity to the challenges that incorporating hobbies have Jola guides us through what a hobby is, why it helps and how to get one (if you aren't sure what your hobby even is!) This episode is full of gems for folks who are working on prevention and resilience building through to anyone having a rougher time these days.

🧡 You don't always love the album the first time you hear it.

💛 You don't always respond to the first thing you try when treating your anxiety.

💚 Naturopathic support is a great option for folks who need more support, but find their medications just aren't working for them.

❤️ I'm all about figuring out whatever works best for you. I refer back to family doctors for medication just as often as I support folks coming off their medication.

How do we know if you are actually feeling better? We measure it.

Just like we don't know how much your iron stores have improved if we don't test them - the best way to know if you are responding to treatment for your mental health is to measure your symptoms on validated scales.

While I always use measurement tools to support care my #1 source of information is my patients experience 😉
