Heavy, painful periods that are getting brushed off as “normal”?

If you’ve ever been told this, it might be time to look a little deeper.

A condition called adenomyosis is more common than many women realize. It can cause symptoms like heavy bleeding, cramping, bloating, and ongoing pelvic pain.

The challenge is that many women go years without clear answers or a thorough explanation of what’s actually going on in their body.

In this blog, I walk through:
• what adenomyosis is
• common symptoms to look out for
• how it’s typically diagnosed
• and the different ways we can approach treatment

If your periods feel more intense than they should, this is worth a read.

💾 Save this for later or share it with someone who’s been told their symptoms are “just part of being a woman.”

Adenomyosis is a condition that most commonly causes heavy and painful periods. Other symptoms vary widely but can include pain with in*******se, pelvic pain, prolonged periods, or even no symptoms at all.

I quit social media 6 days a week. I've been doing this for almost a year (with some slip-ups along the way). It's been really impactful for my overall wellbeing and mental clarity. Read my blog post if you want to learn more about my experience.

I don’t need to tell you about the negative impacts of social media on our mental health and wellbeing. This has been a much discussed topic in the news and in the medical research world. We have enough evidence showing that social media is not harmless. What I want to share with you is my own per...

L-Carnitine has been filling up our Tik Tok and other social media feeds a lot lately. You’re seeing it light up the fitness industry with strong claims about its ability to increase muscle mass and promote weight loss. While the evidence around L-carnitine and weight loss is not strong (yet), the...

I often like to incorporate acupuncture as part of my treatment plan for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It has the advantage of improving symptoms while not interacting with any medications my patients may be on or causing uncomfortable side effects.

To read my latest blog post about the evidence for using acupuncture for PTSD, click here:

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)  is a debilitating issue that impacts people from all walks of life. It can occur after a person experiences significant trauma such as an accident, a traumatic birthing experience, a frightening diagnosis, being the victim of or witness to a crime and

Thyroid antibodies, anxiety and depression—there may be a link between these.

One of the most popular articles on my website is an article I wrote back in 2019 about how your thyroid antibodies may be impacting your mood.

In 2024, an exciting study came out providing more evidence for this connection. You can read my summary of the article by clicking below.

We all know that low thyroid hormones can lead to feelings of sadness and anxiousness. One of the most common causes of low thyroid hormones is an auto-immune condition called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. With this condition, your body attacks and injures your thyroid gland which contributes to reduce...

Most of the advice around premenstrual cravings feels unsympathetic: “Oh, you’re craving chocolate…try to eat less chocolate.”

If it were that easy, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Read my latest blog post to learn about managing your premenstrual cravings realistically.

If you think you’re the only one who feels like they could eat a whole bar of chocolate or an entire pizza in one sitting before your period, you’re mistaken. Premenstrual cravings are common. Even those with a “clean” and rigid diet at other times of the month report strong, almost unstoppa...

About Me

I'm a naturopathic doctor practicing in East Gwillimbury, Ontario (which is a lovable gem of a town). My practice has a strong focus on mental health - especially anxiety. That means I also spend a lot of time helping my patients with related issues like insomnia, digestive issues, hormonal problems and skin issues.

I'm not a health extremist which means you won't find me recommending rigid diets and mountains of supplements. You will find me crafting plans for my patients that are health transforming but also reasonable, well rounded and rooted in science.

I love hiking, watercolour painting, history, spirituality and devouring fantasy books and movies (favourite author - C.S. Lewis).

My parents are from the West Indies and I was born and raised in Newmarket, Ontario. I love my Indian, Indo-Caribbean and Canadian traditions.
