New logo for a new career chapter! Un nouveau logo pour un nouveau chapitre de carrière!

The flower in the logo is milkweed, the main food for monarch in their caterpillar stage. An interesting fact about milkweed is that its Latin name, Aesclepius, is the name of the Greek God of medicine who is represented by the snake-entwined staff, a universal symbol of medicine. The flower version of Aesclepius felt very fitting.

La fleur est une asclépiade, source de nourriture pour les monarques durant leur stade de chenille. Plus intéressant encore, cette plante porte le nom du dieu grec de la médecine, Asclépios, représenté par le serpent enroulé autour d’un bâton — un symbole universel de la médecine. La version botanique m’a semblé appropriée pour la médecine naturopathique.

This week is Naturopathic Medicine Week in Canada. Bonne semaine de la médecine naturopathique au Canada!

For the past few years, I've been the chair of the Naturopathic Medicine Week committee with the CAND, our national naturopathic medicine association. This means that I get to see what happens behind the scenes of getting this campaign together every year.

This year has been no exception with a great committee of people from across Canada discussing how we want to promote Naturopathic Medicine, and a great team bringing the campaign to life.

The campaign this year honours the impact naturopathic doctors are having in their communities across Canada using both evidence-based medicine and traditional knowledge.

Is your body sending you subtle signs that something's off? Maybe the signs aren't so subtle anymore. Maybe you've gotten really good at ignoring or pushing through those signs to get to the end of the to-do list.

I'm here to tell you that pushing harder, eating less, working out more, finding that perfect plan or supplement is not the solution.

Slowing down and listening to what your body needs and honoring that, you'll be surprised at how your body starts to respond. Do you need to take a deep breath? Have a glass of water? Go for a walk? Take a 3 month vacation (kidding!?) This may seem super simple, but the simple things do go a long way.

Having a hard time with your sleep? 😵‍💫 You keep hearing that sleep is one of the pillars of health, especially in perimenopause and menopause, and that you should sleep like it's your job? That's all true, but if you can't sleep, it may feel like a downward spiral. Sleep struggles are super common during perimenopause...

Here are some common sleep disruptors:
⏰ Hormonal fluctuations (especially changes in progesterone) can make it harder to fall or stay asleep
💥 Night sweats and high stress - common sleep disruptors
🥱 Blood sugar crashes and cortisol spikes can also wake you up in the middle of the night - wake up and can't get your mind to slow down?

🌿 Here are some general sleep supporting strategies I like to use:
🧘🏽‍♀️ Calming and consistent bedtime routine (even add some red-light therapy if you have access)
🍽 Balanced evening meal and even a protein-rich snack before bed (try some Greek yoghurt, for example), some people find this makes a huge difference, especially if a blood sugar crash is happening
🕯 Dimming lights 1-2 hours before sleep (avoid scrolling before bed).
✨ Try Magnesium bisglycinate before bed

These can be a good place to start, but a more individualized approach may be helpful for you!

Should you test your hormones in perimenopause? It depends... I think there's a lot of confusing info out there about hormones and perimenopause, or hormones in general if I think about it.

Testing can provide really valuable data to work with if there are (test, don't guess, as the saying goes), but it will not diagnose perimenopause. The very nature of perimenopause is hormone fluctuation, where some months will look 'normal' and others will have lower hormone levels.

This doesn't mean that hormones cannot be supported during perimenopause. Quite the opposite, it's a time when we want to support hormone health through lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, and hormone replacement in certain cases.

For those who have a uterus, many tests are beneficial starting around age 40 to really get a good picture of health and start to think about any lifestyle changes that can be made to support health (short term and long term), including thyroid, lipids (cholesterol), blood sugar, insulin, among others. Prevention is always easier than reversing chronic disease.

✨When you're making decisions on trying new things to improve your health, here are some things I like to consider? (There are no right or wrong answers here) 🌿

1. What am I hoping to achieve with this new "thing" (nutrition change, supplement, exercise, treatment, etc)?
2. How long will it take to see any benefit?
3. How long do I need to do this for?
4. How long am I willing to do this for?
5. Am I looking for a quick fix?

We are bombarded with information on how to improve our health everywhere we look. A lot of it is good information, but it is good for you?

💜A few things I like to consider are:

1. What are my short term and long term goals?
2. Is there anything in my lifestyle that I could change/need to change to help me reach these goals?
3. Don't try to do it all at once, think marathon not 100m sprint 😊

Why I do what I do. Pourquoi je fais ce que je fais comme travail. ✨

Over the past 10 + years working as a naturopathic doctor, I've witnessed incredible transformations. Sometimes these come from straightforward solutions that resolve symptoms, and sometimes it takes feeling away layers one by one, bringing gradual changes. The biggest compliment I could receive (and what makes my work worth doing) is to have someone come back and tell me that I have helped make a difference in some way. My approach is not a hierarchical doctor-patient relationship telling, but to help the people I work with feel seen, heard, and guided on their health journey, whether that is through bloodwork, nutrition, helping someone understand what is going on, and helping the body come back into balance. 💜

What motivates you to exercise?

I am not an athletic type, but this kind of information motivates me to exercise...

This analysis done on women who were in perimenopause found that those who had better physical fitness also had lower inflammation markers, lower cholesterol, better mental health (depression, anxiety, overall mood), and better sleep quality.

The best kind of exercise is the kind that you will do.

This week is Naturopathic Medicine Week. For the 3rd year, I have led the organizing committee with our national association, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors. Year after year, the campaigns keep getting better as we highlight the work done by Naturopathic Doctors across the country to help support the better health and wellness of our communities working with individuals, which is truly inspiring.

Cette semaine est la semaine de la Médecine Naturopathique et pour la troisième année, j'ai été en tête du comité de l'Association Canadienne des docteur(e)s en naturopathie qui organise la campagne pour célébrer cette semaine. D'année en année, je suis toujours inspirée par la dédication qu'ont les docteur(e)s en naturopathie dans notre pays pour soutenir la santé et le bien-être de nos communautés.
