Did you know that your skin is the largest and most absorptive organ?
📌Skin exposure to sunshine is so vital to making vitamin D which is a powerful immune system regulator that plays a role in preventing cancer, and disease. I always encourage patients to get some kind of bare skin sun exposure. Your body can make up to 10,000 IU of vitamin D with 30 minutes of skin exposure.
📌Sunscreen is designed to protect our skin from burning and getting damaged by free radical stress from UVA and UVB rays.
📌I always reference EWG for safety/clean rating on sunscreen (and all cosmetic products) before purchasing

How connected do you think we are with nature and one another? 💫🌲

DAY 1 JUICE CLEANSE!
My body has been screaming at me for change. The stress, fear, uncertainties and chaos these past 6 months have lead to a lot of overwhelming feelings and a spectrum of emotions (literally) that created a lot of “reward-seeking” behaviours (i.e. a crapy diet). With 2 young kids a mom’s health (regardless of the toxic political environment) usually takes the back seat anyway. So it was time for change. A system re-boot. Couldn’t be a better time to make sure our body’s are healthy and our immune systems are robust (something the media NEVER talks about). The best cure to any virus or disease is preventing it! Create an environment in your body that welcomes health not disease. I invite you to take charge of your own health too! My hubby has partnered along with me. Let the healing begin! 💪

CELL PHONE CRASH COURSE
Phone companies test their products for the SAR (specific absorption rate) at which human tissue absorbs RF (radio frequencies). You will find in the fine print of your iPhone manual that it is not safe to hold your phone within 10mm of your body, since the radiation exposure exceeds the federal safety guidelines. Sooo that means we are not using our phones safely simply by talking on them! (That’s a head scratcher!) It’s no wonder every phone comes with a set of earphones (I don’t think they are being generous, I think they’re covering their butts!) TIP! Disable wifi and Bluetooth as much as possible while using your phone. You can still receive calls but with much less signals! 🙏🏻💕

It’s ‘digital heroin’: How screens turn kids into psychotic junkies

Parents - Try to keep electronic use to a minimum in your homes. Although it is becoming more difficult to refrain from some kind of electronic stimulation, it is so important for the (psychological, physical and social) health of your little ones. Here's a tip: Establish an electronic curfew allocating a certain amount of screen time per day or per week. This will not only benefit the health of your child but will also encourage more family activities and creative play.

I know it's a little late for spring cleaning, but I'm still catching up!
Here is a brilliant eco-freindly, safe, chemical free, time saving solution.. Baking soda and vinegar! That's right.. that's all you'll need to cut grease and get your tub tiles sparkling white.
Works great to clean any surface and to remove those old yellow stained shower tiles ;)

What you need:
1. White vinegar
2. Baking Soda
3. Sponge or brush
4. Toothbrush

How do I do this?
To get tiles white --> sprinkle some baking soda on the tile floor and then pour or spray a little bit of vinegar over top just enough to make it wet. (I sprayed the shower down first with water). This will create a fizz! Take your sponge (I find that a bristled brush works better) and work away. Use the toothbrush to get into corners and tile grout.

For general cleaning (shower, tub, countertops) --> sprinkle baking soda on surface to be cleaned, then add equal parts water and vinegar in a small bucket or spray bottle and either spritz or wet sponge to wipe down surface.

Naturopathic Medicine 101: Care and Cost

While not the silver bullet of health care, naturopathic medicine can lighten the financial load while providing top quality care to patients outside of the MD’s office or ER, freeing up both more of their time and resources to deal with more pressing medical cases. The proof is in the pudding. A 2011 Innovative Research Survey of Ontarians found that individuals seeing naturopathic doctors reported the following changes in their use of health-care resources:
• 29% reduced their visits to hospitals
• 30% reduced their visits to specialists
• 42% reduced their visits to GPs
• 48% reduced their use of prescription medications

ottawalife.com Health care: nothing fires up Canadians more than this topic.
