It's that time of year again... How are you doing?

During the holiday season, I took some time to ask myself some honest questions...

What do I need right now?
How much can I handle right now?
What is a realistic starting point?
How can I stay consistent?

Giving yourself permission to slow down, reflect and plan is SO important.

January 1st does not have to be the day you do it all. Take your time. Start where you are. Try again.

Wishing you all the health, love, light and prosperity in 2022!

Yours in health,
Dr. L

✖️Low stomach acid, digestive enzymes
✖️Gall bladder dysfunction
✖️Food sensitivities
✖️Poor eating habits
✖️Bacterial overgrowth
✖️Hypothyroidism
✖️Anxiety/Stress/Burnout

Swipe ➡️ to see some foundational tips to help reduce the bloat!

If none of these work for you, then it might be time to dig a little deeper 🧐

Connect with a healthcare practitioner who can help you understand the root cause of your bloating!

PS. #3 kind of rhymes and happens to be one of the more important tips!!!

This is my current mantra 🙌

Here's a reminder to continue doing better, to take it day by day and to focus on progress not perfection ✨

After taking some time to reset and quiet my mind, I decided it was time to set some new goals to help me get closer to the life I want. But it's not just about goal setting it's about self-compassion and allowing yourself not to be perfect all the time. Life takes practice...

Here are some of my goals 👇
Morning sun time ☀️
Drink water !!! 💧
Start a running practice 🏃‍♀️😬
Improve my financial literacy💲
Read before bed 📒

What are you currently doing to manifest the life YOU want 🤗 ?

Happy Sunday 🌞

Celebrating this morning with some gluten-free french toast 😍

Why?
I finally got my sh*t together for taxes (more like my sister did), which is my least favourite thing to do 🙃 ... And just because!

Celebrate the big, the small the just because's 🎉

Looking for a gentle & effective way to get a deeper sleep? 😴

Enjoy a cup of herbal sleepy tea 1-2 hours before your expected bedtime to help you get a better night's sleep 🙏

Here are some of the most commonly used herbs for sleep support ➡️

*If you find yourself waking up to p*e in the middle of the night, then try and drink it earlier in the evening!

Easy "cream" of mushroom soup 🍄

Alright here is my first reel! 🎥

I've been dabbling with these for awhile but have been hesitant on posting because they weren't "perfect or worthy of posting", which is really silly 🤷🏻‍♀️

So here it is!

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30-40 mins

Ingredients
✅ 1/4 head of cauliflower
✅ 2 cups of mushrooms (I used a mix)
✅ 1 yellow onion, diced
✅ Rosemary, thyme, S&P
✅ 1 heaping tbsp of ghee
✅ 1/2 cup of cashew milk
✅ 1 broth (unsalted)

"The dose makes the poison" - Paracelsus.

Food sensitivites & intolerances
are extremely common and seem to be on the rise! 📈

They can cause a wide range of symptoms in individuals, which can manifest in minutes/hours/days ⏳

COMMON SYMPTOMS
❌ Diarrhea/constipation
❌ Bloating
❌ Skin rashes, Acne, Eczema etc.
❌ Chronic headaches
❌ Chronic fatigue, low mood
❌ Chronic congestion

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN ? 🤔
When we consume something that we are sensitive to (food trigger), it elicits an inflammatory response.

When the trigger is taken away, the inflammatory response should dampen/resolve, and healing can occur 👍

When we are exposed to the trigger on a regular basis (daily or weekly for some) the inflammatory response does not dampen and healing is haulted 👎

This is why the Elimination Diet or a modified Elimination Diet can be helpful in facilitating healing 👌

---

This is the exact same reasoning in Traditional Chinese Medicine ☯️

Excessive intake of offending foods or an improper diet can be viewed as a "poison" to the body.

---

WHAT DO YOU DO?
When you suspect a food sensitivity, remove it for a period of time to restore balance, then enjoy occasionally ☺️

Work with a Healthcare Practitioner who can help you understand your body's unique signals and guide you through the process 👩‍⚕️

There is definitely a way to feel better without sacrificing the joy of eating 💛

❗Food sensitivities & intolerances are not to be confused with food allergies, which produce serious symptoms (anaphylaxis) and can be life-threatening❗ @ Avena Health Clinic

Breakfast time ✨

I'm not usually an oatmeal gal but I've been craving it and eating quite a bit of it lately. 🥣

I've realized I like it a lot more when there's less oats and more toppings! With every meal I make I try to keep these things in mind ⬇️


✅ Focus on a balanced plate at every meal (protein, high fiber carbs, healthy fats, veggies, fruits). This will ensure you're getting a variety of nutrients, help balance your blood sugar levels and keep you full and energized!

✅ Aim for whole foods and avoid packaged goods with added sugars, preservatives and things you don't need.

✅ Remind yourself that every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body. Focus less on calories and what's "healthy food" vs. "bad food" and focus more on eating for joy and vitality!

So, what's in my oatmeal?

1/4 cup of rolled oats
1 tbsp of unsweetened coconut shreds
1/4 tsp each of cinnamon and ginger
1 tsp of ghee (trust me on this!)
2 tbsp of collagen powder
1 cup of water to cook it all down

Topped with my toasted nuts and seeds mix, fresh fruit and a splash of soy milk 👍

Happy New Year ✨

2020 has been a wild ride to say the least, but it also gave me the opportunity to relearn a few things:

✨ The power of community & connection. I literally could not have made it this far without the constant support of my family, friends and colleagues.

✨ Taking a break or slowing down does not equate to failure, laziness or define your worth or success. It's okay to take it slow.

✨ Adapting to change and letting go of control. Sometimes we need to recognize what is within our control and beyond our control for our peace of mind.

✨ The importance of prioritizing our mental, emotional and physical well-being. This was the biggest focus in my practice this year and is the reason why I wanted to launch the Accessible Care Program in 2021.

I know how powerful naturopathic medicine can be in someone's health journey. But I also recognize that it may not be feasible for some due to financial limitations.

My goal for 2021 is to continue building a practice that aligns with my vision of providing accessible care to my community. 💛

If you or anyone you know are interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to reach out! 💌

Thank you .sukihon for your help, guidance and support 🤗

Cheers to 2021🥂
