Many doctors are beginning to question whether women’s reliance on sleeping pills is a better option than sleep deprivation.

Dr. Danielle Martin, family physician and vice-president of medical affairs at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, is less likely to write a prescription for a sleeping pill than to suggest changing coping skills. She believes long-term lifestyle changes are more effective long-term solutions than sleeping pills.

Scoliosis is a significant lateral deviation in the normally straight vertical line of the spine. The spine should have a perfectly straight line up and down the back which is visible when you stand behind your child. If you see a bend in that line along the spine it may indicate a sideways shift of the spine.

Did you know that infantile scoliosis occurs between birth and 3 years of age. This form is more common in boys and can show up as a left curve in the mid back.

Reposted from () - Thanksgiving is approaching and maybe you’re hosting, maybe you’ll be a guest. Either way, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll be around lots of delicious food if you celebrate the holiday.
Here are some tips from our naturopathic doctor for managing your metabolism.

Replace processed carbohydrates with sweet potatoes and spaghetti squash. Breads, crackers and pastas should be avoided because they rapidly increase blood sugar AND they commonly have other ingredients, which can irritate the gut lining and immune system and rob your body of needed nutrients.

Protein, Protein, Protein. Eating an adequate amount of high quality protein (at least a palm sized amount with every meal) will keep your from being hungry for sugary or unhealthy foods. High quality proteins include hormone free meats and fish, nuts, seeds, vegan protein powders.

Monitor how you feel after eating. If you are sleepy or crave sugar or something sweet after eating you are eating too many carbohydrates.

Inflammation has a vital role in our body, and is actually a normal, healthy function of our immune system. Acutely, it indicates the process of our body protecting itself against a stress or trauma, or the fighting of foreign ‘invaders’, like a virus or bacteria, to the body.

Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, occurs when the body’s natural response to injury or infection (the sending of immune cells to affected areas) never “shuts off.”

Read our most recent blog to see how reflexology can help with inflammation.
