Do you recognize this?

In my neck of the woods, we call this Crowfoot Greens!

(A.K.A sea asparagus, samphire, glasswort, salicornia and I’m sure many more!)

These delectable wild seashore harvested greens are packed with nutrients like iodine, vitamin C, and FIBER!

Whether you steam them, boil them or pan fry them with butter, these crowfoot greens can be a great FIBER addition to your summer BBQ - especially out here on the east coast!

Have you given these beauties a try?

Have you tried a cucamelon?

These adorable little fruits have become a summer favorite for me!

Looks like a tiny watermelon, tastes like a cucumber with a hint of citrus!

What’s better is these FIBER containing little melons make great on the go snacks! Just pluck, wash and bring along - no chopping required!

Bonus: the plants can produce quite a bumper crop in a small space!

Sun Safety Reminder!

It may not be officially summer yet, but that does not mean we should be ignoring our sun safety tips!

The UV index is high today in Halifax! (If only that was sticking around for the May long!)

So here are your nudges:
- Sunscreen! (Face, hands, exposed skin)
- Hydration!
- Take Breaks! (from the sun and activity)
- Check the Weather! (Temperature, UV index)

The invisible gains of Healthcare

I spoke last night with members for Naturopathic Medicine Week about the intersection between Naturopathic Medicine and Mental Health Care

My goal was to remind the crowd that we easily forget how bad things were before we got help and that just because we can’t see something is better, it does not mean there has been no change.

We easily take things for granted when they are in working order.

We quickly forget how difficult it can be live when something isn’t right.

We are tangible creatures - hear, see, touch, taste - and we forget that in healthcare sometimes, especially with mental health.

Naturopathic Doctors work to help keep you accountable and help remind you of the change.

Because if we don’t see the change, we tend to stop doing the things that created the change.

Naturopathic Doctors help you see the change through measurement based care, accountability, and long term goal planning.

We get ‘Better Health Together’ - even the invisible things.

Happy Naturopathic Medicine Week!
And thank you to for speaking with me!

Seeing Confusing Signs?

Like the crocuses that seem to come to life despite the frost and snowfalls, sometimes nature (or our bodies) can send us weird and confusing signals.

Some examples of confusing signals that patients have asked about recently:

* Why am I hungry right after eating? I felt full!
* Why is my mind awake at night when my body is so tired?
* Can you explain why I feel like I am on an emotional rollercoaster even when everything else in my life feels like I am doing okay?
* Why are my hands and feet so cold while the rest of me is sweating!

If you have lived through some of these signs, or know the answer to some of them, they may not seem as confusing as they do when you have no idea what is going on.
And that is the beauty of hindsight - or at least having someone who can help walk you through why we see one thing but feel another.

If you are looking for some answers, the first step is asking the question!

Ways you can ask:

* Book an appointment
* Send me DM
* Comment below

I can’t provide specific medical advice on social media for obvious reasons, but can potentially help point in the right direction!

The World Economic Forum has said that it could take five generations for women to each full gender of parity.

Five generations for or ALL folks to reach parity.

This number seems scary , this number can be disheartening.

But the more we keep pushing, the more we keep accelerating and advocating, the closer we can get.

I advocate and practice every day for folks to focus on their health and wellbeing so that it doesn't impact job performance. So that it doesn't impact mental health. So that it doesn't impact confidence. So that it keeps us moving forward.

I have many colleagues that advocate to make sure that symptoms aren't brushed off because you have a uterus or hormones or any health concern.

Adequate, timely, evidence informed healthcare is crucial to accelerating us toward parity. So let’s focus on our health. Let’s encourage our loved ones, friends, colleagues and community to support each other and themselves.

Book Blurb 🌿

Notes on A Nervous Planet by Matt Haig

Summary

In true Haig fashion, his latest non-fiction offers bite-sized wisdom that ironically mirrors the quick-consume nature of social media it critiques.

He explores our changing relationship with technology with wit and approachability—making you think critically about your own habits without spiraling into despair.

Who Should Read This?

The personal touches hit home. Who hasn't found themselves doom-scrolling past bedtime, ignoring loved ones for that notification dopamine hit? Haig vulnerably shares his own struggles (his wife has to remind him to put down the phone too!).

What Did I Learn?

Consider this: in just 100 years, we've gone from newspapers and telegrams to watching global events unfold in real-time. Our technology evolves faster than we can adapt to it.

Final Thoughts

This isn't about abandoning technology completely—it's about finding balance in an increasingly connected world.

Everything is F*****: A Book About Hope By Mark Manson

Summary

This book explores the complexity of humanity, hope, and the pervasive shift toward nihilism in our digital world

Who Should Read This?

Anyone who could use a reminder to not get bogged down by the 24/7 news

What Did I Learn?

I learned that hope is incredibly important to our concept of humanity

Final Thoughts

I had my mind warped and it was a good thing! This book is a journey in philosophy and humanity and hope - and how we need hope to stay human and to stay connected to our lives

P.S. reading his first book ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F***: A counterintuitive approach to living a good life’, is not required but sets the stage nicely for this one!
