Happy 2026!

I am admittedly a person who suffers from DSATTS (Doing-Something-All-The-Time Syndrome). And yes, I just made this up. 😂

Somewhere along the line, I learned that I need to be productive at all hours of the day (including at night, apparently) in order to be doing life "right."

After a disruptive and emotionally arduous 2025, I'm done with this dysfunctional patterning and determined to set an intention toward self-care and restoration for 2026.

Want to join me?

All you need is these 4 little words:
REST WHEN YOU'RE TIRED

If you struggle with chronic fatigue, burnout, rely heavily on caffeine to function, or just feel maxed out, this little mantra can go a long way to bringing you a NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET.

The number one thing you really need when you feel overwhelmed, full, maxed, or flooded (by life) is MORE REST.

If fatigue is a chronic issue you struggle with, you may find a full health assessment to be most useful as there can be many factors affecting energy. If you're in BC, I can help you. Send me a DM or book in through my website if you need help: drvolk.janeapp.com

May 2026 bring you the rest you need and the regulation to embrace this year calm and cool.

✨ What If You Could Look Inside Your Body — Without Bloodwork or Painful (and expensive) Testing? ✨

Bioresonance testing makes that possible.

I’m excited to now offer Bioresonance Body Scans — a quick, painless, and incredibly comprehensive way to understand what’s really happening inside your body.

This non-invasive scan uses gentle electrical frequencies (via small electrodes on your wrists, ankles, and forehead) to assess how your cells and tissues are functioning. In about 10 minutes, it gathers a remarkable amount of information about your health.

Here’s what we can see:

🫀 Function of 47 organs
🦠 Microbes such as fungi, viruses, bacteria & parasites
☣️ Toxins like pesticides, additives, smoke, and heavy metals
🌿 Food intolerances & environmental allergies
🧠 Emotional & psychological stress patterns
💊 Nutrient deficiencies, including vitamins & amino acids
… and much more.

After your scan, we’ll spend the rest of your visit reviewing your results in detail and discussing next steps. The full appointment is about 60 minutes.

💡 Why people love this test:

It’s painless

It provides a whole-body snapshot, instantly

It often mirrors what we’d see through multiple laboratory tests

It helps decide which (if any) lab tests are worth doing next

It can save time, money, and guesswork

It’s a great way to use up your naturopathic benefits before they expire!

Important: You do not need to be an existing patient to book a bioresonance scan. Intake and consent forms must be completed beforehand, and those are emailed to you after you book.

If you'd like to become a patient and continue working together after your scan, I recommend starting with a 60-minute initial visit first — but it’s completely up to you.

🌟 If you're curious what’s really going on in your body… this is a powerful place to start.

This is a strange post from me but one I felt compelled to put together in light of recent political events, followed by a debate I found myself in regarding the topic of "free speech," which I understand many are particularly passionate about right now.

It's baffling to me that, despite so many historical events in which words and rhetoric directly led to hate, violence, and genocide, there is now such a strong desire to reject the concept of "hate speech" and declare it "just free speech." Have we learned nothing about the power of words? How is it that so many people don't seem to care?

Where free speech may be a "right," don't we also have a responsibility to protect our fellow human and do what we can to NOT harm others? I have vowed to do this as part of my profession.

What do you think––should "first, do no harm with words" become a civic oath we all must pledge? What do you think this would this do for society and for the current political and cultural climate we all experience?

🌱 This Month’s Health Focus: Imperfect Action 🌱

How many times have you told yourself…

🗓️ “I’ll start after my trip.”
🎓 “Once school’s done, I’ll focus on my health.”
🥦 “I’ll change my diet after I use up these groceries.”

Here’s the truth: there will never be a “perfect” time.
Life is full of events, visitors, deadlines, and distractions.

But guess what?
👉 One imperfect action is still progress.
👉 One veggie today is better than none.
👉 One walk, one stretch, one good sleep—all wins.

✨ Your health doesn’t require perfection. It just needs consistency and compassion. ✨

🖐️ Celebrate your small wins.
💚 Honour your imperfect efforts.
📈 Keep showing up anyway.

What’s one small, healthy action you can take today—even if life isn’t perfect?

PSST! This month's newsletter is full of info and tips on taking imperfect action! Plus a personal story about my own imperfection 🙊. To get in the loop for next month's edition, sign up for my monthly newsletter here:

📸✨ Having some fun today taking new pics for my website as I approach 10 years in practice—so here are some fun facts about me!

1️⃣ Caregiving mode always on 🌷
I am the guardian for my older brother who has Down syndrome. My first ever job as an ND was providing naturopathic medicine / functional medicine support for individuals with Down syndrome around the world.

2️⃣ From book nerd to health nerd 📚
Before becoming a naturopathic doctor, I worked in libraries and completed an English degree, where I wrote my honours thesis on Harry Potter!⚡️

3️⃣ My own health journey led me here 🌿 I came to this medicine due to my own health challenges, which were mainly digestive health and chronically terrible immune system. Since then I’ve had to navigate many challenges like PTSD, chronic adrenal problems, uterine fibroids (and related symptoms), mold illness & mast cell activation, to name just a few. I like to think that this all has enabled me to be more compassionate with my patients as a result.

4️⃣ Currently trying to out-read myself 🤓 My goal? Beat my 2024 record of 36 books! Drop your must-read recommendations below! ⬇️

5️⃣ Voted "Most Opinionated" in high school (out of 600 students) 😆
I’ve always had strong convictions & a passion for social justice. I'm honoured to still be speaking up & advocating for my patients!

💡 Now practicing naturopathic medicine in Kelowna, BC & via telemedicine across BC!
My clinical passions:
🌿 Digestive health (IBS, candida, SIBO, Crohn’s, food sensitivities)
🌿 Mold illness & histamine intolerance
🌿 Mental health (PTSD, anxiety, burnout, depression, anxiety, grief...)
🌿 Hormones (PMS, PMDD, menopause)
… and more!

If you’re in BC & need an ND who digs deep into complex health concerns, I got you. 💙 Feel free to send this along to a friend in need of a health detective!

"Is mold testing really necessary?" 🤔

I get this question all the time. If you've been obviously exposed to mold, live in a moldy environment, and have symptoms… do you really need to test?

Mold is a known toxin that can cause a wide range of health issues, including:
🔹 Asthma & allergies
🔹 Chronic sinus congestion
🔹 Frequent yeast infections
🔹 Mood issues & fatigue
🔹 Skin rashes & hormone imbalances (PMDD, endometriosis)
🔹 Poor immune function & digestive problems

I might have tunnel vision 👀, but I can’t help but see mold as a huge obstacle to healing in so many of my patients!

Even if exposure is obvious, I still recommend mycotoxin testing for 3 key reasons:
1️⃣ It confirms if mold is a problem, helping you stay committed to treatment.
2️⃣ It identifies which mycotoxins are high, helping track and avoid ongoing exposure.
3️⃣ It ensures the right treatment based on your specific mycotoxin load.

💬 Got questions about mold illness, testing, or treatment? Drop them in the comments or send me a message!

If you're in BC and need help recovering from mold, please contact me to set up an appointment.
