We honour the body's incredible ability to heal itself and merely seek to assist this process through practical, non-invasive health solutions. Whole-healthcare is integrative and is designed to draw upon all fields of healthcare, thus attending to the entire spectrum of human disease. Rather than focusing on the symptom, we search for the hidden causes of illness by looking at the physical, bio-energetic, mental/emotional, and environmental factors.

Mom: you know your child better than anyone

When your child is hurting & no one can tell you why, the worry takes over everything.

Missed school days.
Missed birthdays.
Sleepless nights.
Endless appointments.

And the constant fear of: “Will my child ever get better!?”

This mom felt all of that too, until she found a different path (yes, us!).

In this video, she shares how her daughter finally experienced relief after years of unexplained and off and on stomach pain, even when traditional answers fell short.

If you’re a mom who knows something is “off” with your child...

even when the tests say everything is “normal”...

please know this:

You’re not imagining it. Your intuition matters. Alternative approaches can offer answers where others stop looking.

In our clinic, we support families using natural medicine, nutrition, applied kinesiology, and energy-based testing to uncover what the body has been trying to communicate.

You don’t have to stay in uncertainty.

You don’t have to watch your child lose more days to pain.

Your child deserves to feel like themselves again.

And you deserve peace of mind ❤️

Yours in healing,
Shawn

When you’re dealing with bloating, fatigue, skin issues, or stubborn chronic symptoms, the foods you remove can be just as important as the foods you add.
This week, I’m breaking down 3 common triggers I see in clinic and why your gut feels better without them.
Your body is always communicating. When we listen strategically, we heal faster.

1️⃣ Refined, Processed and artificial sweeteners negatively impact gut health by feeding “bad” bacteria which cause inflammation, release toxins, and stress the immune system.
✅ Replace with raw honey, pure maple syrup, and fruits!

2️⃣ Tap water kills the good bacteria in the gut because of added disinfectants like chlorine.
✅ Replace with purified water from a high quality water filtration system.

3️⃣ Seed oils (canola, vegetable, soybean, etc.) drive inflammation, irritate the gut lining and encourage the growth of “bad” bacteria.
✅ Replace with Organic, Cold-pressed Olive oil/coconut oil and/or Grass-fed butter/ghee

➡️ Save and Share with someone working on improving their gut health!

People don’t need more hacks, they need to go back to basics.

☀️💧💪🧠

1️⃣ Sleep = System Reset

Deep sleep clears waste from the brain through the glymphatic system, regulates hormones like cortisol and leptin, and repairs muscle and immune tissue. 7–9 quality hours literally recalibrate your body’s operating system. There's many reasons why sleep can be poor quality and it requires a deeper dive to correct, but its doable.

2️⃣ Hydrate Before You Caffeinate!

After 7–8 hours without water, your body’s mildly dehydrated. Rehydrating restores blood volume, supports digestion, and aids cellular metabolism. Even 1–2% dehydration can reduce focus, mood, and performance. Make an effort to drink 1 to 2 glasses of water before you do anything else.

3️⃣ Morning Sunlight = Circadian Anchor

Getting sunlight in your eyes (not through glass) within an hour of waking signals your suprachiasmatic nucleus ...the brain’s circadian clock... to boost cortisol and serotonin. This sets your internal rhythm and helps melatonin rise naturally at night.

4️⃣ Move Early, Move Often

A few minutes of walking, stretching, or mobility work raises heart rate, improves oxygen delivery to the brain, and releases endorphins. Morning movement enhances alertness, insulin sensitivity, and mood regulation throughout the day. Whether its wiggling your toes in your hospital bed or dropping and doing 5 push-ups, do what you can and honour where you're at.

Your biology runs on rhythm. Align with it, and energy, mood, and focus follow naturally.

Of course in cases of severe chronic illness there's more to be done, and you need to tailor this but make sure your fundamentals are as solid as you can get them.

Reversing diabetes & eating fruit? Yep 🍎😎

Our client was shocked when we said: “Bring back fruit.”

Now? He’s thriving 💪🏻

He’d followed all the usual rules:
no fruit, no starches, no white rice... but his blood sugar kept rising and his energy tanked.

Using Muscle Testing, we discovered the real root causes: inflammation, deficiencies, low oxygenation, and more.

After just weeks on a personalized protocol (with supplements, targeted nutrition, and fruit reintroduction), his numbers stabilized — and he's enjoying fruit again 🥳

✅ Normal blood sugar
✅ No more crashes
✅ No more fear of real food
✅️ improved strength and endurance

When you treat the body, not just the blood sugar number, healing begins.

Have you been told diabetes is for life? This is your sign to dig deeper🔍

⚠️ Disclaimer: Fruit isn’t the issue — processed sugars, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction are. Don’t add fruit without removing junk and addressing root causes. Our approach is specific, strategic, and monitored. Dont just start eating more fruit without addressing other factors specific to your case ⚠️

Start here

1️⃣ remove all processed foods and sugars 🚫

Process cane sugar
White sugar
Brown sugar
Raw sugar
Corn syrup
Hard candies
Caramel
Pop
Artificial sweeteners
Aspartame
Zero sugar
Diet soda
Margarine
Canola or vegetable oils

2️⃣ get to bed 1-2 hours earlier

3️⃣ do strength training and go for walks after meals

"I was told this was just part of aging.”

For years, our client lived with chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis. It started affecting her hips, mobility, and social life. The diagnosis, a degenerative disease, was expected to worsen with age.

Doctors said it was “manageable,” but that she’d need medication, they could try injections — maybe even surgery — eventually.

She tried to accept it. But the pain grew louder. The more pain medication she took, the worse her entire body felt. Fatigue. Brain fog. A sense of helplessness.

Until she said enough!

Today, she walks pain-free. She hasn't touched a pain pill nearly 1 year. No surgery. No cortisone. Just a new approach to healing — one that finally addressed the real root of her pain.

In this case it was food sensitivities and deficiencies.

“I’d gotten so used to living around the pain, I didn’t realize how much it was stealing from my life.”

We work with women who are done settling. Who are ready to reconnect with their bodies — and reclaim what pain took away.

It starts with one decision: to stop treating symptoms and start healing the cause.

📩 Curious if this could be your story too? Send us a DM.

We’ll listen first — in a free 15 minute call and then talk about what’s possible.

Without it, you might just be guessing your way through healing.

For decades, natural medicine has relied on the educated guess.

But, here's a better way.

Muscle testing reveals what your body truly needs - by asking it directly.

Overcoming our health challenges & finally embracing life's joys ❤️🌎

It truly was an unforgettable summer of healing, growth, & adventure!

Visiting Quebec, after over a decade! 😯, was a highlight for me. I was able to reconnect with family and return to the outdoors, tracing my old childhood footsteps in the mountains 🥲👣

Yasmin embarked on her first major road trip in years, reintroduced over 5 different foods and was anxiety free!

If you're reading this from your bed, not feeling well... know this... you WILL heal and return to the things you love ❤️🙏🏽

Wishing you all a wonderful end of summer and a smooth transition into fall.

Yasmin recommends witnessing the salmon run in our local rivers! Contact her if you want details and the regulations 😅🐟
