Last year at this time, we were finishing renos and getting our medispa set up to open January 2nd.

It's been a wonderful first year, and we'd like to thank everyone who came to see us at our home office in Red Deer, at markets, and in Brooks. Many of our clients come by word of mouth, and we'd like to sincerely thank those who share what we do with family and friends.

It's been a blessing assisting people with their health, nutrition, and detoxification, to prevent or overcome illnesses, injuries, and traumas. It is so rewarding that people feel better, look better, are more functional and more joyful in their lives!

Thank you for supporting a local family!
We look forward to serving you in 2025! 💛

Why give into unhealthy traditions or "norms" when there are healthy options that taste good, nourish your body, and make you & your family feel better?

Healthy is a lifestyle choice, and it doesn't have to be hard. Creating new habits & traditions can be fun! And your mind, body, and wallet will thank you for it later.

Instead of eating processed, mass-produced, or even hommeade goodies laden with chemicals & dyes (that alter hormones, behavior, & feed parasites & candida), enjoy creating some ones that nourish, fuel, and soothe your body. 😁

For example, instead of:
❌️ Egg Nog 👉 Homemade banana nog or Golden (turmeric) milk ✅️
❌️Hot Chocolate 👉 Herbal Teas like nettle, dandelion root, peppermint, ginger, to support your organs! ✅️
❌️Alcoholic or soda pop beverages 👉 Kombucha ✅️
❌️Candy 👉 Nuts, dates, gogi berries, raisins, prunes✅️
❌️ Sugar cookies 👉 Sugar-Free Banana, Peanut butter, Breakfast, or Ginger Cookies ✅️
❌️Short Bread 👉 Power Balls ✅️
❌️ Sugar-laden puddings 👉 Chia Seed Dessert ✅️
❌️Iced Cream 👉 Yogurt Bowl w unpasteurized honey or maple syrop, h**p hearts, unsweetened coconut, cinnamon & berries ✅️

There are so many recipes out there to explore! You can also check out the shop in

As for family gatherings, where you know no-nos will be present?
👉Make up your mind ahead of time & have a plan
👉Don't show up hungry
👉Opt for healthy snacks like veggies, nuts, fruit
👉Say "No Thank You" to unhealthy offers
👉BYO healthy goodies to share
👉BYO tea bags or kombucha

The more healthy choices you make, the better you feel, and the easier it is to say no to sweets! This transition to new habits and a new lifestyle does not have to be all or none. But over time, your tastebuds will change, and you won't want the old sweets (or their side effects!) Your body will be happier for it! Feeling good is worth it. 😁

Some people don't believe they can go sugar-free, but you absolutely can! I did it for 2 years during a health crisis, and came out feeling better than ever! I follow a modified version of this now, but overall, it was a great place to start.

Here are some tips for a gut-friendly lifestyle:

Read the ingredients of everything you eat. Look up the effects of the ones you don't know. It makes it easy... Self-control, setting & keeping boundaries is essential. (Also easier if the whole household does it together. Assigned cupboards or baskets you don't touch helps for housemates who aren't willing.)

After a month or two of removing artificial sweeteners (including refined sugar), preservatives & gluten from diet, you won't crave it. (Removing artificially-sweetened toothpaste helps & so does a parasite cleanse.)

[Some people might argue that we should be able to eat all foods. But every body and healing journey might look different. And the available foods today are not what they were even 30, 20, or 10 years ago. (Hopefully this will change soon in North America, with new rules against toxic ingredients, GMOs, and mRNA!)]

A food prep day is essential. Veggies, proteins & healthy fats (paleo diet) are key. Keeping lots of cut-up veggies in the fridge, humus, boiled eggs & nuts made it easier to make healthy choices.

I started my day with fresh squeezed organic lemon juice in hot water. Focus stayed on berries, but other fruits were eaten too (natural sugars are different than artificial) but not as often. Grapefruit juice was opted over orange. (Opt for 100% juice only & limit it; filtered water should be the staple of your liquid life! Organ-supportive teas are important too.)

Eggs w spinach, avocados & tomato made for nice breakfasts. Smoothies had frozen spinach & blueberries, a non-whey sugar-free protein powder, chlorella powder & filtered water (sometimes plain greek yogurt, milk kefir, frozen cherries, raw eggs, banana).

Harty soups & salads (w nuts, h**p hearts & berries) made good lunches.

Lean meats, fish & stirfries became faves. I still ate gluten-free pasta & brown rice & opted for quinoa, lentils, beans & other legumes for variety. I chose sweet potato over potatoes, no ketchup, & enjoyed exploring fancy honey mustards. I kept corn chips in my diet for salsa & guacamole snacks.

Sweets included yogurt bowls, chia seed desserts & baking. There are lots of baking recipes with apple sauce & bananas instead of sugar. The Sugar-Free and More shop in Red Deer is also a good resource for special occasions.

As for family gatherings where I knew sweets and no-nos would be present? I always kept snacks in my purse, that I ate in my vehicle. I didn't show up hungry. I opted for healthy choices. Veggies, nuts, etc. Sometimes, I brought my own (and culturally, this might be rude to some, but if they love you, they'll understand that healing is a priority!)
Good friends asked about diet before inviting me for meals, and they enjoyed getting creative. If other people had fancy drinks, I brought kombucha. (Lemon in hot water is still my go-to drink at restaurants!) And I just got used to saying: "No thank you!" often. What a good practice in boundary-setting! The longer I kept the good habits, the better I felt, and the easier it was to say no.

This way of eating and living became a lifestyle for me, and I really began enjoying the food God created while benefiting from not eating all the things that were not created by Him (preservatives, artificial sweeteners, refined salts, oils and sugars. By the way, you need real salt in your diet! Celtic, sea, himalayan or mineral salts are good choices.)

A healthy lifestyle starts with making healthy choices one step at a time, one day at a time. The better you feel the easier it becomes. Feeling better, and thinking clearer is worth it! ❤️

If thinking about snacking on the sweets in this picture doesn't make you feel icky, you may like to think about changing your dietary habits... which will in turn change your pallet!

Sugar is processed as alcohol by the liver, is highly addictive, feeds patasites (and cancer) and in excess, is stored as fat molecules in the body.
A fatty liver encourages an excess of pro-inflammatory cytokines, causing aches, pains, swelling, and even irritability or brain fog.

Fortunately, our livers were designed to slough off and regenerate themselves, if provided with the right rest and support.

My favorite liver supports are a clean diet rich in colored veggies, dandelion root tea, milk thistle root supplement, (and I'm continuing to learn about tudca and phosphatidylcholine or choline for short.) Eating liver, sunflower lecithin, and runny eggs (or raw eggs which are good in smoothies) can also be helpful.

In the past couple months, I've been seeing alot of yeast buds, candida and fungus when analyzing peoples' blood. It doesn't surprise me, as people tend to choose (sweet) cultural foods with get-togethers, over prioritizing health. Less sleep and higher stress also contribute to a lower defense (immune) system.

Candida or yeast are naturally occurring in our bodies. Natural flora (good bacteria) usually keep it in check. It only becomes a problem when overgrown!

The most common cause of yeast or candida overgrowth is the use of antibacterials or antibiotics [especially amid infections which seem more common with less sunlight this time of year (vitamin D defficiency).] Even natural antibacterials like colloidal silver, though highly helpful when needed, can contribute to gut microbiota imbalance.

My personal go-tos to rebalance the gut are a sugar-free cleanse (2 months minimum, but longer is usually required), liquid chlorophyll, refridgerated probiotics (ladies can use these vaginally in addition to orally), prebiotic & probiotic foods, better sleep habits, and practicing healthy boundaries to reduce stress.

Nettle tea seems to soothe the body while enhancing its natural defense system. Magnesium, nutrient-rich (water-based) smoothies with fibre can help keep bowel movements regular. Rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus and lemongrass essential oils diluted and used topically (over abdomen or eosophagus) are antifungal favorites.

In the post, I forgot to mention that chronic sinus infections can also be a sign of candida overgrowth. Women are usually more aware of yeast infections. But men with foot fungus, digestive issues, fatigue or brain fog, may consider the possibility of candida as the source of their challenges.

If you're curious about the health of your microbiome, a live blood analysis appointment might be helpful for you. Feel free to reach out if needed.

We would like to start by expressing our gratitude to Blackfalds Family and Community Support (Blackfalds FCSS) for helping us spread the word about our Blackfalds 1st Annual Free Dentistry Day for Blackfalds residents. The community's overwhelming response confirms the significant need for this event. With the day quickly approaching, we’d like to offer a few gentle reminders:

1. Our available spaces for treatment and cleanings are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be mindful of those who are in great need.

2. To ensure your safety, we must conduct a clinical examination and review your current medications and medical history before we can guarantee any treatment. The treatment provided on the day will also depend on the complexity of the required procedures.

3. We’re grateful to the businesses that have donated chairs, tables, and snacks to make your wait more comfortable. Special thanks to Save-On-Foods Blackfalds, Special Event Rentals - Red Deer and Sinclair Dental for your generous contributions.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who will be dedicating their time this Sunday to make this event possible for the Blackfalds community.

Clean eating is easy when you keep healthy options in the kitchen. (And easier when you keep junk food out of the house!) The more you give in to healthy foods, the more your cravings and habits will change. And you won't even miss the old ones....

Here is a healthy antioxidant protein snack idea:
-Cottage cheese
-Diced watermelon
-raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
-Himalayan salt
-black pepper

Stay healthy & enjoy!

Did you know that 41% of Canadians between the ages of 6 to 79, take prescription medications? And 30% of Canadians aged 65 to 79 take more than 5 medications at a time? While life-saving medication is helpful short-term, our bodies weren't intended to process synthetic chemicals on a chronic, ongoing basis. Polypharmacy is stressful on the liver, kidneys, and contributes to toxin build-up in the body.

A stressed liver can contribute to challenges with low energy, deficiencies, digestion, colon function & elimination, thyroid, hormones, mood, brain fog, and the list goes on.

Your body is like a vehicle. If you drive a vehicle long enough, it will need oil changes, power steering and brake fluids, or a transmission flush at some point, to maintain smooth functioning of the vehicle. This is also true for your body.

Organ systems, over time, may need some cleansing and replenishing for the body to function more efficiently. Heavy metals, parasites, mold, kidney stones, liver stones, or gallstones, can all build up in the body over time. If the body is not helped to flush these out, it is unlikely it would be able to do so on its own.

Signs of "aging," allergies, itchy skin, low enery, pain, chronic challenges, and even dementia, can be signs of high toxicity in the body.

Blood Analysis helps our Health Coach to determine where the body may need assistance. Then, she can teach you what to do about it, and provide some helpful nutritional or lifestyle recommendations, or natural detox aids if necessary.

At the end of the day, our goal is to help you feel better, and to support your health in ways that have no added side effects, while providing other options for more natural care. We also hope to prevent future health challenges or needed medications, by helping you today.
