What exactly do you learn from hormone testing?

Dr. Holly Paraschuk dives into 5 insights hormone testing can provide:

✅ How your s*x, thyroid, and adrenal hormones are working together

✅ Whether your metabolism and blood sugar regulation are on track

✅ If hidden imbalances are driving fatigue, mood changes, weight shifts, or cycle issues
Why do these insights matter?

Do you struggle with food cravings and don’t know why?

Dr Sophie Pollon-MacLeod shares 5 common reasons as to why you might be experiencing cravings:

✅ Blood sugar fluctuations & metabolic changes
✅ Lack of sleep
✅ Stress
✅ The “buffet effect”
✅ Environmental triggers

Our brains are wired to notice food opportunities. In the past, this was essential for survival when food was scarce. But today, with constant ads, smells, and food everywhere, those same brain circuits get activated far more often. That’s why cravings can feel like they appear out of nowhere, even when your body doesn’t actually need more fuel.

Food cravings aren’t just about willpower. They’re the result of a complex mix of biology, environment, and lifestyle.

The good news: understanding what drives them is the first step to taking back control.

Read the full blog to learn more about food cravings and how to help curb them: https://nutrichem.com/blog/the-top-5-reasons-you-have-food-cravings/

Our Story

In 1981, Kent Macleod saw a gap in healthcare services available in Ottawa. He set out to create a facility dedicated to offering his patients effective, individualized solutions as a natural alternative to the traditional ways of treating illnesses. Essentially, his goal was to empower his patients to feel good, to get better, and to take full control of their health.

Just a year after completing his pharmacy degree from the University of Toronto, he started by buying a bankrupt pharmacy on Ottawa’s west end. From there, he set out to create a health brand that would become synonymous with quality care.

NutriChem is a naturopathic clinic, pharmacy, and retail store offering everything our clients need all in one space. Carefully curated services like IV therapy, Body Chemistry Balancing, custom compounding, and nutritional consultation are paired with a full array of health and wellness products. All of this is under the guidance of a team of carefully selected naturopathic practitioners, ensuring that patients get exactly what their body needs. Nothing more, nothing less.

At NutriChem, we understand that patients are frustrated and confused by health care, so we provide an efficient and highly effective choice that has proven results and gives them what they need.
