Most probiotic prescriptions?
Still just a kick-and-hope move.
But if you’re walking around with:
* 🧈 Floating, pale, or sticky stools
* 🥴 Nausea or fullness after eating fat
* 💨 Bloating up high (not just in your pants)
* 💩 Stools that smear or show food bits
* 🔁 Gut issues post-antibiotics..you’re not looking at a colon issue. You’re looking at foregut dysfunction — stomach acid, bile, and enzymes not showing up to work.
👉 If you’re not supporting the foregut, you’re just cleaning up messes further down.
🎯 What to do about it:
🟢 L. reuteri DSM 17938
* Supports bile & gut movement
* Calms inflammation, especially post-antibiotics or in kids
* Great first step for gentle rebalancing
🔵 HU58 (Bacillus subtilis)
* Stimulates enzymes + bile
* Rebuilds upper gut terrain
* Stronger — start slow, respect the heat
Match the probiotic to the physiology. Start where digestion starts. No more kick-and-hope.

Rough and tumble play is highlighted as a pivotal form of physical engagement crucial for children's development, focusing on its role in fostering emotional intelligence, understanding social cues, and developing empathy. Dr Dave ND elaborates on how such play not only differentiates from actual aggression but significantly benefits the prefrontal cortex development, crucial for decision-making and social interactions. Furthermore, the importance of integrating rough and tumble play in early childhood education to reduce aggression and prevent behavioural issues is emphasized, offering insights for educators and parents on fostering a healthy developmental environment.
Implementing rough and tumble play in educational settings is discussed, underscoring the necessity of safe, supervised environments that allow children to explore physical limits and learn social boundaries. Dr. Dave ND mentions a study on its application in preschools, shedding light on practical approaches to incorporating this play type into curriculums, which can significantly impact children's cognitive and emotional growth. This discussion opens up avenues for future research, particularly in how such play contributes to preventing behavioural issues and promoting social harmony among young children.
Dr Dave ND concludes by addressing the need for further research in the area of rough and tumble play, pointing out the existing academic interest and the potential for future discoveries that could enhance early childhood education practices. By understanding the value and methods of facilitating rough-and-tumble play, educators and parents can play a pivotal role in a child's development, ensuring a balanced approach to emotional, social, and cognitive growth. The insights provided serve as a valuable educational tool, emphasizing the critical role of rough-and-tumble play in early childhood development.

While studying homeopathy in great depth as a naturopathic medical student I was able cure my mother’s fibromyalgia symptoms and my own colitis.
How I became a naturopathic doctor is much less dramatic; more a consequence of my abilities in the sciences combined with curiosity, the privilege of being raised in a middle class Canadian household, and the need to express important values and principles in my work, such as integrity, compassion, and meaning.
During my Honours Science degree at the University of Waterloo (where I achieved Dean’s Honour with Excellent Standing) I considered a career in pharmacy, then made an unsuccessful attempt to get into medical school. I was disillusioned and didn’t have much of a focus, so soon after I found myself living on a beach in New Zealand asking a lot of existential questions that I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to contemplate.
It was during my time there that I first recall hearing about homeopathy from a close friend; after conventional medicines and antibiotics had failed him, he was cured of his collapsed lung and pneumonia by a homeopath.
His compelling story led me to research more into the area of natural and traditional forms of health care, and it was then that I first encountered the word (and profession) ‘naturopathy’. A pluralistic approach, naturopathic medicine takes the best of various forms of traditional medicine and complements them with a scientific, research-based approach.
In a time of polypharmacy and widespread dissatisfaction with the conventional medical system, it is an ideal solution.
Naturopathic medicine makes so much sense and it is rooted in altruistic philosophical principles which are vital not only to the profession, but also to my need for meaning and alignment of heart and mind with my work.
Naturopathic medicine is many things.
It is scientific and logical.
It is safe and effective.
It stimulates personal growth and healing.
It works in alignment with incontrovertible Laws of Nature.
It is rooted in sound philosophical tenets.
It helps fill in the gaps in the present conventional health care system.
I am proud to be a practitioner of the naturopathic medical art. I am honoured and privileged to be able to help people grow, heal, become well, lessen pain, and together become better versions of ourselves.
