Reminder: you are not your feelings.

Although your feelings feel true to you, it doesn't make them real.

So don't put so much stake in your current emotional state.

My mentor always says, "The emotion of the day will lead you astray."

If you wake up on the wrong side of the bed,
You get to choose to feel and stay that way, OR you can switch your mindset and choose immediately instead that today is going to be a great fking day.

For me today, I don't feel like working out. But my goals/dreams/desires require me to have that self-discipline, and when I do work out, it brings me closer to my goals, and I'm happier, in both mind and body.

If I listen to my feelings, you bet I'm watching some Netflix or doom scrolling.

If I go beyond my feelings and ask my higher self what it needs today (and listen), I go for the walk, hit the gym, do the thing. It feels nourishing.

So, instead of going by what you're feeling today, maybe start asking yourself:

"What are my dreams, goals, and desires? and what is one thing I can do today to help me get there?"

Happy Monday contemplation ❤️✨️

Wild Roses Festival 2025,
You were a blast. (Their professional media team took some unreal pictures. Here are my only pics from the event 🤣)

We healed, we cried, we laughed, we danced in the rain, and we gathered in sisterhood.

My mom said she had the best time, too 🥰

Cannot wait to do it all again next year!

But until then, hey Central Alberta,

Is anyone interested in a 1 - or 2-day somatic healing workshop / wellness circle / in-person gathering?

Where we can
✨️gather with like-minded people
✨️do some breathwork and yoga
✨️sauna, cold plunge, and sweat it out
✨️give you tools to actively release stress and learn to bring in joy, peace, and calm into your nervous systems and everyday life

If this sounds fun, comment Heck Ya! below and I'll add you to the list to send you info for our next Wellness Workshop this fall!

(Spaces are limited. Location will be within 1.5 hrs from Red Deer)

Looking forward to it already!

Have a happy day, IG Fam,

Dr. Kim

I've had this conversation in my office a few times this week. So let's talk about your brain and your p**p. (Sorry, not sorry)

Your gut and your brain are very interconnected. The gut-brain axis.

Did you know the gut and the brain are constantly communicating? The gut-brain axis is a cool connection that influences both your digestive health and mental well-being. Here are some cool facts:

🧠 the gut has its own "brain" called the enteric nervous system, which can function independently from your central nervous system.
🧠 the microbiome in your gut can affect your mood, stress levels, and even commonly anxiety and depression.
🧠 stress and emotions can directly impact your digestive system, potentially leading to symptoms like bloating or discomfort
🧠 the gut-brain connection is bi-directional, meaning your gut health can influence your mental state, and vice versa!
🧠 so yes, we really are what we eat! (but also what we think!)

A healthy gut contributes to a happier mind. So let's make sure you are doing the basics:
- p**ping daily
- staying hydrated
- eating foods that fuel you
- practicing gratitude daily

If you're not p**ping daily, and are feeling a little overwhelmed, brainfog, stressy-depressy - they are likely connected.

Need some help with your gut-brain connection?

Come chat :)

Happy p**ping! 💩

Hope you all find some time to get into nature this weekend 🌿💛

Forest bathing is a medical prescription in some countries. Submersing yourself in nature, away from all tech/wifi connection, for even a short while, is healing medicine. It vibrates your cells differently.

So in case you needed it, here is your prescription to get outside, fill your lungs with fresh air and take a hike. 🤓

Happy weekend, IG folks! 🌞

And, some *almost* free medicine:
🌿a nourishing meal
🌿gardening, growing your own food
🌿a good book
🌿a fun adventure
🌿a class, course, workshop etc.

A fun reminder that these things are medicine, too. (And all important for your health and well-being.)

Prioritize the mundane. Make it extraordinary.

You are allowed to live a fun, playful, healthy life, doing more of the things you love.

Any others "free medicine" ideas I am forgetting? Leave them in the comments below 👇

🌞 Happy Monday,

Our brains are primarily made up of fat and water, so if you don't fuel it with either of those well, it may be the reason our brain may be working at sub-capacity.

🧠 Brainfog?
🧠 Dehydrated/thirsty?
🧠 Craving salt?
🧠 Sugar cravings when exerting your brain?
🧠 Midday slump?
🧠 Brain just shutting off by the end of the day?
🧠 Memory, forgetfulness, words at the tip of the tongue?

Yes, important things like stress, adrenals, thyroid, yeast, but also.. what about the basic deficiencies? Not just vitamins and minerals but literally back to the basics.

Do you drink enough water?
Do you eat enough healthy fats?

Our brain is literally made up of fat and water, so if we are not having enough Omega 3s and are super dehydrated, how do you think our brain is working for us?

Probably not that well, lol

A couple of simple health swaps:
🧠Drink your water, 2L +,
🧠Add salt/electrolytes
🧠Increase your healthy fats with every meal
🧠try having more of:
- avocado
-coconut
-coconut oil
-olives
-olive oil (best organic and raw)
-fish (sardine,salmon,makarel)
-ghee
-grass fed butter
-good quality animal meats
-eggs
-raw pumpkin seeds, raw walnuts etc. (Always raw, best organic)

Hope this helps!

PS: you hate fish, we can supplement accordingly 😉 (they are called supplements for a reason)

And honestly, I don't think I have to say this anymore, but in case this fad is still floating around out there, remember, that:

Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Period.

Enjoy your fats! 🥑 🐟 🧈

🌞 VITAMIN D 🌞

A.k.a the sunshine vitamin

If you're Canadian and above 50° latitude (yes, central Alberta, that's you), even on our best sunny days and naked right now, you're probably not absorbing much vitamin D.

Low vitamin D status, we can see symptoms like
- getting sick frequently
- low moods, esp in winter months
- muscle weakness
- hair loss
- fertility issues
- thyroid issues
- etc

🌞 So let's get your levels checked before supplementing.

A lot of patients supplement for too high too long, and we see toxicity.

A decent amount of patients also supplement too high for too long, only to see their lab numbers stay the same or lower. (This may show a genetic deficiency in vit d absorption and would require assessment for vitamin D IM injections to actually help your body start absorbing vitamin D)

Health Canada has actually increased the daily required amount of vitamin D from 1,000 IU's to 2500IUs in order to ensure us Canadians aren't deficient.

Happy to help with:
🌞 vitamin D testing options through APL labs
🌞 vitamin D best supplementation options based on your individual absorption
🌞 vitamin D IM injections if you need it

Vitamin D rich foods? Here's a list:
(You'll note a lot of the dairy is fortified a.k.a added to improve nutrition)
🌞egg yolks
🌞salmon
🌞yogurt (fortified)
🌞milk (fortified)
🌞butter (fortified)

Happy spring, folks!

🍟A quick little luteal phase healthy carb recipe to support your PMS needs and cravings, hehe.

FYI:

Cravings do mean something is out of balance.

It's not you or your willpower.

Healthy eating doesn't have to be bland or hard.

Limiting/restricting healthy carbs, esp in the second half of your cycle, is asking for worsening PMS symptoms (like cravings, bloat, cramping, skin and mood changes etc)

So ladies, a week or 2 before your cycle, focus on:
✔️ still high protein with every meal
✔️ bring in more good carbs like quinoa, root veg etc
✔️ limit the process/junk/inflammatory foods
✔️ continue to lift heavy, but maybe want to
✔️ lower the intensity (think LIIT, not so much HIIT)
✔️ increase your magnesium bisglycinate dose
✔️ switch more from doing mode to being mode
✔️ have a rare/med rare steak a day or 2 pre cycle to help replenish iron stores (before your body's levels are about to lower :)

Hope this helps!

Reminder, none of this is personal medical advice, just sharing some tips along the way.

Enjoy your home fries :)

As a key part of your health team, I have plenty of tools in the toolbelt to help you along your healing journey.

You know I love you,
but it's still your responsibility to heal,

To take the leap

To make the moves

Stay consistent

Stay committed to the journey

To break the toxic patterns

To introduce the new habits

Slowly and surely

One by one.

Until you transform

Mind, Body, Emotion, Spirit.

Once you acknowledge your part in your own healing journey, you know there is no one coming to save you.

Only you can save you.

You got this. ❤️

But remember, you don't have to do it alone - there are tools, people, classes, places, and opportunities awaiting you in your corner to help.

Some amazing healers along my health journey quoted this to me a while back, and it always stuck with me.

Maybe this gentle reminder will motivate you too.

Happy healing ✨️ ❤️

Dr. Kim
