🌿 Immune-Supporting Herbs to Know 🌿

Herbs have been used for centuries to support the body’s natural immune defenses.

Here are some of my favourite herbs and how they help support immunity:

• Ginger – Supports circulation and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
• Oregano – Rich in carvacrol and thymol, which provide antimicrobial and antioxidant support
• Goldenseal – Supports immune and mucosal health; may help reduce congestion and inflammation in the sinuses, throat, and respiratory tract
• Cinnamon – A warming herb with antimicrobial properties
• Andrographis – Supports immune activation and recovery
• Cordyceps – Helps support immune resilience and energy levels
• Echinacea – Supports immune response, especially during colds
• Ashwagandha – Helps manage stress, which plays a key role in immune health
• Sambucus (Elderberry) – Supports the body’s antiviral defenses
• Astragalus – Supports long-term immune strength and vitality

✨Herbs can be a gentle way to support immune health naturally.

As cold and flu season is in full swing, it’s the perfect time to fuel your immune system with nourishing, whole foods that naturally support your body’s defenses. 🌿✨
Here’s why these immune-boosting staples deserve a place in your daily routine:

🧄 Garlic – rich in allicin, which enhances immune cell activity.
🥣 Bone Broth – packed with collagen, minerals, and amino acids that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and strengthen overall immunity.
🫐 Berries – loaded with anthocyanins (potent antioxidants) that help reduce oxidative stress and support healthy immune cell function.
🥜 Nuts & Seeds – full of zinc and vitamin E to strengthen immunity.
🧅 Onions – high in quercetin, a powerful antioxidant with antiviral benefits.
🍊 Citrus Fruits – excellent source of vitamin C for white blood cell support.
🍄 Mushrooms – contain beta-glucans that help regulate and boost immune function.
🍯 Manuka Honey – naturally antimicrobial and soothing for the throat.
🌱 Turmeric – curcumin lowers inflammation and supports immune balance.

Nourish your body daily with foods that help keep you strong and resilient. 💛

Smoothies = Healthy Fuel… but only when done right! 🌱💪

Before you blend that goodness, here are 4 easy tips to get the most out of your smoothie habit:

✅ Don’t drink on an empty stomach first thing in the morning – Smoothies can be quite sweet depending on which fruit you are blending. Drinking on an empty stomach can increase blood sugar levels and cause an insulin spike. Instead consider having it as a snack later in the day balanced with protein and healthy fat.

🥦 Add vegetables + fruits – Balance that sweetness with fiber-rich greens like spinach, kale and other nutrient vegetables such as beets, celery and cucumbers.

🌰 Toss in healthy fats – Chia seeds, flaxseeds, h**p seeds and mixed nuts can boost nutrition + keep you full longer. These foods are also rich in omega 3 and fibre.

💧 Use water instead of milk in blending iron-rich fruits and vegetables: this helps maintain the iron absorption from fruits and leafy greens!

Smoothies can be a powerhouse of nutrients—just blend smart to maximize its benefits. 💚

Looking for an easy way to add EXTRA protein to your breakfast? Consider cottage cheese + your choice of berries with 1 teaspoon of chia seeds!
It can be an additional add-on to your breakfast and provide roughly 5g of protein, 3g of fibre and around 1.2 g of omega 3, specifically ALA! ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is an omega 3 that is considered essential because your body cannot make it, so you must get it from your diet. The body converts small amounts of ALA into EPA and DHA- the more active forms of Omega 3s!

If you’re having two eggs daily for breakfast, you’re consuming roughly 12 g of protein. Adding 3 tablespoons of cottage cheese to your meal can increase your protein content to around 17 g!

Cottage cheese and berries also makes for a great protein filled snack option!

Today is National Preeclampsia Awareness Day.
Preeclampsia is a condition that stays very close to my heart.

After the birth of my daughter in 2021, I developed atypical postpartum preeclampsia which landed me in the ER for 5 days.

Preeclampsia isn’t just a pregnancy condition. It can appear after delivery, sometimes without the usual warning signs. That’s why awareness matters so much.

Know the signs—before or after birth:

Severe headache
Vision changes
Sudden swelling
High blood pressure
Shortness of breath
Upper abdominal pain
Feeling “off”

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. Speak up. Get checked.

Awareness can save lives.

From the textbooks to the treatment room, every moment has deepened my passion for holistic health and the power of natural medicine. 💚

I’m grateful for:
✔️ The trust my patients place in me
✔️ The mentors who guided me
✔️ The lessons nature continues to teach
✔️ And this beautiful, ever-evolving profession

Here’s to honoring the roots, embracing the growth, and continuing to thrive — naturally. 🌱

A well balanced smoothie can be a great nutritious addition to your day.

A good selection of fruits, vegetables, seeds with added powders (protein, collagen protein) can offer essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre.

Some smoothies that are simply just made with fruits may have a high glycemic load which can create blood sugar spikes and insulin spikes. Adding fibre, protein and healthy fats can help curb the spike and also offer a more wholesome and balanced meal option.
We love making smoothies in our household. Here is one of my favourite combos. What’s yours?

Ramadan Health Series 2025 ✨
Muscle Cramps 💪🏻
Muscle cramps can be caused by a number of factors: dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, post-workout muscle exhaustion, muscle overuse and vitamin and mineral deficiencies, blood circulation issues and nerve compression issues are a few causes.
In Ramadan, muscle cramps can be likely caused by lack of water and minerals.
Here are some recommendations that can help relieve muscle cramping:
-💧Drink plenty of water and replenish with electrolytes. Coconut water is hydrating and rich in electrolytes too. Adding Celtic salt or Himalayan salt in your water in morning can also provide some electrolytes.
-💪🏻Massage can help increase circulation to the muscle and help relieve muscle cramping.
-🏃If you are experiencing muscle cramping during evening prayers, try to move your legs and feet in between prayers to increase circulation. Change of position can help decrease muscle spasms.
-🍌Potassium rich foods are important to prevent muscle cramping. Choose from winter squash, melon, sweet potatoes and beans to name a few.
- 🌰Magnesium rich foods can also relieve muscle spasms. Magnesium rich foods include dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and salmon.
- 🛀 Epson salt baths can help relieve muscle spasms and muscle aches. Epson salts are rich in magnesium and can help relax muscles.
- 💊Supplementation and acupuncture can also be helpful for those that experience muscle cramping and spasms often. Consult with your ND and consider an individualized treatment plan that works for you!
