👀New on the blog! 👀

This one really captures the heart of my work with women navigating autoimmune conditions.

In it, I share my “inflammation bucket” analogy - a simple but powerful way to understand why symptoms flare, how inflammation builds up, and how we can identify and address your unique triggers to restore balance and resilience.

Super excited for this one!! 🤩

We're very excited for this. Marie has a fantastic story and wonderful insight in this space. Roots Naturopathic Wellness Center
This is a FREE invite to come and learn about what to do when you have chronic inflammation or an autoimmune condition.

If you’re living with an autoimmune condition or chronic inflammation, you’ve probably been told that exercise is good for you — but not how much, how hard, or what kind. The truth is, when it comes to autoimmunity, more isn’t always better.

In this practical and empowering session, Dr. Marie Nowlan, ND shares how to exercise in a way that supports your immune system rather than overwhelms it. You’ll learn how to find your personal “sweet spot” for movement — the zone where you can build strength, reduce inflammation,and avoid flare-ups.

We’ll explore how muscle acts as medicine, serving as armour that not only helps prevent flare-ups but also improves recovery and resilience when they do happen. You’ll walk away with clear guidance on how to check in with your body, adjust your workouts accordingly, and use movement as a tool for long-term healing.

This session is rooted in the Beyond Autoimmunity Method, Dr. Nowlan, ND’s clinical framework for helping people reduce inflammation, restore energy, and reclaim their health by addressing four key pillars: gut health, mitochondrial function, hormonal balance, and immune regulation.

Whether you're navigating flare-ups, just getting started with fitness, or trying to make your workouts work for you — not against you — this session is for you.

🥳 Repost from Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine:

Naturopathic medicine is now formally recognized as part of Canada’s evolving primary care landscape.

We’re pleased to share that naturopathic doctors are featured in the newly released Compendium of Roles in Team-Based Primary Care, officially launched in April 2025 by the Canadian Health Workforce Network.

This national publication profiles the wide range of professionals contributing to modern primary care — now including naturopathic doctors and their role in collaborative, patient-centered care.

This achievement reflects the leadership of CCNM faculty and alumni, and the continued collaboration between CCNM, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), and other integrative health partners.
