Happy International Women’s Day 💕

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women around the world. From breaking barriers to shaping history, women continue to inspire change and lead the way toward a more equal future.

Let’s honor the women who have paved the way, support those making an impact today, and empower the next generation to keep moving forward. Together, we can create a world where every woman’s voice is heard and valued.

Did you know the best way to help women stay active is:
✨ to make sure the exercise or activity has a social connection
✨ we focus on intrinsic motivators (enjoying the activity) ✨ and having a strong support system

These may seem simple but they can be super hard to find, especially when you are a busy mom trying to juggle all the things.

On the weekend I was able to return to one of my favourite places . I ran into some of my favorite humans and it 💯 filled up my cup (I wish I had pictures of all the amazing humans but I’m pumped I at least snagged this one).

Don’t get me wrong, I love my solo runs but there is something magical about being surrounded by lovely and supportive humans who cheer you on when you are really struggling and give you a high five you when you accomplish something you didn’t think you could.

If fitness if a goal of yours, and you find it hard to stay motivated or consistent, try a group class or call a friend to go out for a walk. Don’t underestimate how important having fun and being social is to you being active 💕

Bone Health 🦴

This has been a huge conversation in clinic over the past few weeks. Scroll through to see why you should consider looking at your bone health!

01/10/2025

In December, I finally got blood work done. And guess what? My iron levels were in the toilet, like so low that my friends in health care were wondering how I was even standing upright and not completely exhausted all the time.

I thought I was doing all the things right: eating a mostly vegetarian diet (and making sure that I was getting enough protein), taking my vitamins, sleeping 7-8 hours a night, drinking all the water and strength training. Turns out that my body needs meat. Like really needs it and I wasn’t doing ok.

I wanted to talk about this for a few reasons:

1. Health care providers aren’t perfect- we are a work in progress too.

2. Get your blood work done (ideally yearly). You might be surprised by the findings.

3. Every body is different. Some things work for some people and not for others….and that’s ok!

4. Track your own symptoms. Similar to the above point, everyone is different (and honestly we have very little research on women). The best things we can do is to track your own symptoms to see how your body reacts to things. This gives you information about your body to help you make choices going forward.

5. Trust that inner voice. I had signs for a while that my iron was probably low but I kept pushing: dark circles under my eyes, fatigue, getting light headed easily. Women’s center for intuition is double the size of men’s, which means we have a super human power. If things feel off, get it checked. And remember that you know your body the best.

6. Get yourself a team! Having a team of people behind you to support you is key to taking care of yourself health.

✨ Health and Vitality: May you nurture your body with care and compassion, finding strength, balance, and energy to live life fully.

✨Empowerment and Advocacy: May you feel empowered to advocate for your health, embrace your needs, and take charge of your wellness journey.

✨Community and Support: May you find connection and strength through meaningful relationships, supportive care, and the encouragement of others who share your path.

Your health is your power, and 2025 is the year to reclaim it fully. Let’s walk this journey together toward a healthier, more vibrant you.
