Dr Emma Pollon Mac-Leod is excited to announce that she'll be speaking at the National Women's Show this month!
This event is an opportunity for women across Ottawa to come together, learn and celebrate everything women-focused.
Emma's session, “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲,” will unpack the realities of perimenopause, the hormonal roller coaster that so many experience but don’t always talk about. She'll be sharing practical insights and strategies to help make this stage of life a little clearer and a lot less overwhelming.

Today, we pause to honour the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never returned home.
September 30th is a day of reflection and learning, an opportunity for all Canadians to acknowledge this painful history and commit to a path of reconciliation.
At NutriChem, we stand with Indigenous communities and recognize the importance of listening, educating ourselves and fostering meaningful change.
As we wear orange, we are reminded that every child matters and that reconciliation is not a single day, but an ongoing responsibility.

Should you ditch your morning coffee? ☕
The short answer: no!
Dr Adam Livingston explains that unless you’ve been diagnosed with adrenal burnout, an adrenal condition, or certain kidney-related health issues, coffee is generally safe in low to moderate amounts.
While coffee sometimes gets a bad rep on social media, research shows that up to 4 cups a day is typically fine for most people.
Fun fact: black coffee is considered a superfood! The only catch? If you load it up with sugar and heavy cream, that’s when it starts tipping toward unhealthy. But a splash of cream? Totally fine.
So if your morning cup brings you joy, keep enjoying it guilt-free.
Have questions about coffee, caffeine, or your health? Our team is always happy to help!

It’s back 🙌
One of NutriChem’s most loved supplements, Phosphogabamine, is finally back in stock.
Formulated with four powerful nutrients, Phosphogabamine is designed to help calm the mind and support stress relief:
From gut health to protein, iron, and stress relief, these tried-and-true products are finally available again. But hurry, our bestsellers don’t stay on the shelves for long!
For many, the pill is prescribed to manage more than pregnancy prevention, from acne to PCOS, painful periods, and irregular cycles. But while it may offer short-term relief, it often doesn’t address the root cause.
Dr. Sophie Pollon-MacLeod, ND, shares holistic alternatives to support menstrual health naturally.
Here are 4 common reasons people use the pill, and how else you can support your body:
1️⃣ 𝗔𝗰𝗻𝗲: Balance blood sugar, reduce processed foods, and support skin health with nutrients like zinc, vitamin C, and probiotics.
2️⃣ 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀/𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀: Omega-3s, magnesium, vitamin D, and herbs like chasteberry can calm inflammation and support cycle regularity.
3️⃣ 𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦: Myo-inositol, fibre, and blood sugar balance strategies can improve cycles, reduce androgens, and support fertility.
4️⃣ 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀: Testing for thyroid or iron issues, optimizing nutrition, and ensuring adequate caloric intake can help restore balance.
At NutriChem, we believe in going deeper than symptom masking. Every cycle tells a story, and your health deserves personalized, root-cause solutions.

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.
