Why Your Digestion Won’t Heal Under Chronic Stress

One of the biggest mistakes people make with digestive issues is trying to fix the gut 🍽️ while ignoring stress.
Eliminating foods, following strict diets, or constantly “cleaning up” nutrition — all while living in a state of chronic stress, rushing, and exhaustion 😬 — often backfires.

Here’s how the vicious circle forms 🔄:
Chronic stress suppresses digestion — stomach acid drops, gut motility and sensitivity change.
This can lead to bloating, reflux, abdominal discomfort, or irregular bowels 🤢.
Those symptoms then create food fear, restriction, worry, and frustration 😟.
That added stress further worsens digestion — and the cycle continues.
This isn’t “in your head.” It’s physiology.
The gut and nervous system are deeply connected through well-researched gut–brain pathways.

One of the most evidence-based approaches to chronic digestive issues is addressing both sides of the loop: supporting digestion and regulating the stress response — not focusing on food alone 🌿.

If you’re ready to step out of this cycle and finally address a chronic digestive issue with more respect for how your body actually works, you’re welcome to book an appointment 📅.

Have you checked your Vitamin D levels lately? ☀️
We’re entering the darkest months of the year — the time when almost everyone in Ontario becomes Vitamin D deficient, even with supplements.

If you’ve been feeling:
• low energy
• weaker immunity
• mood changes
• muscle aches
• slow recovery
• increased fatigue
— low Vitamin D could be part of the picture.

A quick Vitamin D injection is a fast and effective way to boost your levels, especially when oral supplements aren’t enough or absorption is an issue.

Why patients choose the injection:
• rapid correction of low levels
• convenient — no daily pills
• ideal during fall/winter
• may support immune health, mood, and energy
• safe and evidence-informed dosing

Most patients notice they feel more steady, clearer, and more resilient through the season.

May be covered by insurance (direct billing not available for IM injections).

If you’d like to support your immunity, energy, and mood heading into winter, a simple Vitamin D shot can make a noticeable difference.

🍀Do I use the same treatments that I recommend to my patients?
Absolutely — and I get this question all the time.

As a naturopathic doctor, I never suggest anything I wouldn’t confidently do for myself or for my own family.

My clinical approach comes from lived experience + evidence-based practice.
Some examples:
• I use IV vitamin therapy when I need immune, energy, or skin support.
• I take targeted supplements (not a shelf full — only what is truly needed).
• I follow the same nutrition principles I teach — balanced meals, mindful eating, and metabolic support.
• I use functional testing when I need deeper answers instead of guessing.
• I rely on botanicals and stress-support protocols during busy or challenging times.
• For my kids, I use gentle evidence-informed naturopathic care, the same way I guide my pediatric patients.

👉I live the same lifestyle and values that I recommend to my patients — because that’s how I know what truly works, what is sustainable, and what is worth your time, money, and effort.

This is how I build my practice: through authenticity, shared experience, and real-life results.

🍀If you’d like to explore what might help you or your family, I’m here to support you.

🌱 I offer natural, evidence-based care tailored to your needs — in person or online.

Parents, this is something many of us quietly worry about…

How do we support a teen who’s suddenly “cutting carbs,” skipping meals, or trying the latest “healthy” trend they saw on TikTok?

The Canadian Paediatric Society reminds us that dieting in adolescence — even when it looks harmless — can affect growth, energy, mood, digestion, and a young person’s relationship with food.

The dangers of dieting in adole…
Here’s what research shows:
• Many teens who diet are actually at a healthy weight
• Restriction can lead to low energy, nutrient deficiencies, and irregular eating patterns
• Teens who diet often struggle more with self-esteem, anxiety, and body image
• Meal skipping, “clean eating,” fasting, or removing food groups can become stressful and confusing for a growing body

The dangers of dieting in adole…
What can help at home?
✔️ Focus on regular meals rather than “good” vs. “bad” foods
✔️ Encourage calm, positive family conversations about eating
✔️ Support balanced, flexible nutrition without strict rules
✔️ Explore body image concerns with compassion and curiosity

The dangers of dieting in adole…
If you’re noticing changes in your teen’s eating, mood, digestion, or confidence — you’re not alone. Many families are navigating the same questions.

Many women notice their skin becoming drier or more sensitive, but few realize that vaginal dryness can be one of the earliest and sometimes the only signs of perimenopause or menopause.

Research shows that up to 60% of perimenopausal and nearly 80% of postmenopausal women experience vaginal dryness, irritation, or discomfort — even when other symptoms are mild or absent.

⚠️ If left untreated, dryness can lead to painful intimacy, itching, small tissue tears, and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to thinning of vaginal tissue and changes in the local microbiome.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I take an individualized, evidence-based approach — from testing to a personalized treatment plan - to restore hydration, elasticity, and comfort naturally.

You don’t have to live with discomfort — your body can heal and feel balanced again.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I start with understanding your unique hormonal picture — through detailed lab tests, full symptom review, and lifestyle factors.
Together we create a personalized treatment plan using evidence-based natural therapies that bring your body back into balance.

Do you think probiotics are just like vitamins?

Many people take probiotics as a “healthy add-on” — just like a daily multivitamin. But here’s the truth: probiotics aren’t one-size-fits-all.

There are different strains, and each works in a unique way:
🦠 Lactobacillus — supports digestion, vaginal health, and prevents yeast overgrowth.
🧫 Bifidobacterium — beneficial for the large intestine, immune balance, and IBS.
🍶 Saccharomyces boulardii — a beneficial yeast that helps with diarrhea, post-antibiotic recovery, and gut infections.

Taking “any probiotic” without knowing what your body actually needs can sometimes cause bloating, gas, or no improvement at all.

💡 Personalized probiotic therapy — based on your gut symptoms, diet, and stool test results — makes all the difference.

👩‍⚕️ As a Naturopathic Doctor, I help my patients find the right probiotic type, dose, and timing, often combining it with prebiotics and natural gut-healing strategies for lasting results.

🌿 I Wish I Had a Naturopath Earlier in My Life

Looking back, I often think — I wish I had a Naturopath when I was younger.

So many of my own health challenges — acne, irregular periods, anxiety, insomnia, constant bloating and abdominal pain, low back pain, nutrient deficiencies, weight fluctuations — could have been managed naturally, gently, and effectively.

For years, I was trained and practiced as a classical medical doctor, without realizing how much research supports natural approaches — and how incredibly smart and resilient our bodies are when given the right support.

I’m the fourth generation of doctors in my family, and we’ve always prioritized prevention and started treatment with natural remedies — drinking more water, using herbs, keeping feet warm, resting, and supporting the body before turning to medications.

Now, after being trained from both sides — conventional and naturopathic medicine — and spending my entire life in healthcare, I offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to help restore your health naturally.

I specialize in complex and chronic cases, where an integrative plan can make all the difference.
