Hello everyone! It’s been a minute….again 🫣🤪

I’ve settled in to for my IV practice for now. I’m not closing the door on Guelph, and am keeping my options open for the right space. I will be sending out a newsletter shortly to update you 🥰.

I wanted to share this on both my social media pages because if you’ve met me…you know is have a soft spot for animals of all kinds, but specifically horses have always been in my heart❤️🐴❤️.

This may be a little last minute, but I wanted to share with you on the off chance that you might have a minute or two to check out a new space for healing.

One program that was mentioned to me was healing from grief. We will all be exposed to grief in our lifetime and the power of horses, and their extraordinary empathetic nature is something I’ve also always wanted to explore. This is a wonderful opportunity to have a sneak peek.

I hope you all had a lovely summer, and are preparing for the next season coming upon us, cold and flu….I mean…Autumn 🤩🍂🍁

In the meantime, here’s the info for tomorrow’s open house at .equestrian_ ❤️

My Newsletter is finally out! I wanted to provide some info (as promised) on what I have decided to do with my practice, while still providing care. It was a crazy time of moving, and settling and seeing patients in a new space (for some), and for others a space they have come to recognize as a safe and relaxing, peaceful and uplifting oasis. I want to share with you the journey, if you are interested in hearing about it

My father, “Big Ben”, had always been someone I could lean on, ask for advice, protect me from a variety of things including bad decisions lol.

He passed away many years ago, and when he passed, my whole world fell apart. My safety net dissolved, my protective sphere had shattered. I was frozen with fear on how to navigate this world without him to lean on and provide me with sound advice. It was hard to step into this new world without both of my parents.

I still find it hard to navigate at times, and empathize with others who have also lost their beloved father, especially on days that recognize them, like Father’s Day.

So to those whose fathers are still with you, hug them a little more often.

For those who are in this new world without their fathers nearby, welcome to the dead dads club. It’s a place where empathy and kindness surround those hearts that are broken, a place to feel like they’re not alone in this world.

Each day brings on a new challenge and the steps forward after loss can be very difficult. I hear you, I empathize with you and care about you. ❤️

From me (Dr. Turk) to you,

I hope that you had a nice Easter Weekend in whichever way you chose to spend it on your terms. 🥰

I will be sharing a newsletter shortly to update you on the changes I’ve made in the last few months and thank you all so much for your unwavering support in these changes.

If you would like to get a copy of the newsletter, there are two ways to ensure it lands in your email inbox;

1. In your patient profile in your chart with me, you can click on the “Reminders” box to edit, and “opt in” to marketing emails. You can opt in and out as you wish. I don’t send many newsletters as I can appreciate the amount of time looking at emails and social media posts can get overwhelming.🥰

2. You can send me a message and I’ll send it to you. 🤩

The second option was supposed to be that you could sign up for the newsletter through my page, but I don’t see that tab anymore 🤷‍♀️

Anywhoodles, I am soooo close to getting the info out to you on the changes and this process has been challenging to get through, but I will continue to persevere 💪🤩.

I moved!! Again!! 🤪🫣😵‍💫

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Earlier this week I posted a story noting my last week at the .co . It was a beautiful atmosphere with helpful kind and amazing staff. I was grateful for the opportunity. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and generosity.🙏🙏🙏

Unfortunately, I had to redirect my business and intentions on how I wanted to practice and have moved my Guelph practice to my Rockwood clinic for the time being.

My Guelph practice intentions are not a closed book, and I will revisit once I have the time to refocus on what that would look like. I will always put my patients safety and wellbeing first. My practice will always be inclusive, seeing patients with a variety of needs, and my promise will always be to care and utilize what I can within my scope. ❤️

I’d love to see you in Rockwood! It’s a lovely space and for those who might be concerned about stairs, I have a chair lift so the clinic is accessible! 🎉🥳

Lots of parking in a quiet peaceful property space.

I hope to see you soon 🥰❤️🥰

Have you ever had a live blood cell analysis before? This modality has been really helpful in providing in the moment information on the status of your blood, which is fascinating to see.

Live blood cell analysis is a pre diagnostic tool, which is used to help provide insight into nutritional status of cells, hydration, cellular fatigue and inflammation as some of the things visible. With this information, a patient can make changes in their lifestyle to help support their health and subsequently their blood.

This service is offered at , but more locally, Isabella (pictured above with me) is especially excited to share her wealth of knowledge in this tool. .awakening is her social media site. Reach out to her. ❤️

I’m sure this isn’t a surprise that we are in the middle of cold and flu season and boy oh boy, do we have some doozy viruses circulating around! 🫣😵‍💫🤒

Unfortunately, I got hit with one of them that has given me lung congestion and a powerful and painful bronchial cough.

One of my go-to’s to relieve this lung congestion is by nebulizing acetylcysteine.

Acetylcysteine, or NAC, is a precursor to the body’s most powerful antioxidant, glutathione. It is used as a medication to provide aid in the treatment of many conditions. Depending on its administration, the uses are vast.

The benefit of nebulizing instead of just oral supplementation of NAC, is that you are inhaling this medication straight to the source, in my case, lung congestion.

Acetylcysteine is referred to as a mucolytic agent, meaning it works to thin (or dissolve) the mucous in the bronchial system, making the mucus easier to cough up and clear out, making breathing easier.

Other conditions that nebulizer acetylcysteine has been used to assist with include:

🫁 Asthma

🫁 Emphysema

🫁 Bronchitis

🫁 Cystic Fibrosis

Consult with a practitioner to see if this treatment can help you recover as well. ❤️

From the humble beginnings (this picture was taken in 2014, the original location at Surrey Street), where I started my small business Journey as Absolute Health Science:

This picture came up in my memories, and it definitely brings up a lot of memories…

Through the humble beginnings of Absolute Health Science at the Surrey Street location, I learned so much about owning a business with a multi practitioner setting.

What I have learned through this journey is plentiful. And I’m not going to trauma dump here, but I do feel like I’ve grown so much in who I am as a person, a practitioner and business owner.

My main point now is knowing that my life is significantly better working on my own, and referring out to the practitioners who I have found have a very similar mindset as myself, which is patient centered and patient focused.

I am so happy now, beginning a new year working in a space that is with many other amazing and talented people at Acqua Salon and Wellness Spa in Guelph, but my role is now as a team member where my business works within theirs, but we are all family.

Sometimes you work so hard to make a dream a reality and no matter how hard you try, your vision doesn’t land….its only when you sit back and realize that the business model needs to change in a different and meaningful direction that you finally can see the light and vision that was the dream, just in a different package.

I have zero regrets in my journey, because each stressor I encountered over the years has welcomed a learning opportunity for me, and I embraced every lesson.

When people say “Don’t give up”, I feel like there should be a caveat. Sometimes giving up opens another door you never knew existed. ❤️

A special announcement is on it's way.

From my family to yours, I wish you a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season, in whatever way you celebrate (or not).

I’m always grateful to learn about different cultures, different holiday celebrations and different traditions that go along with it.

This year, I didn’t put up a Christmas tree because I moved locations and just didn’t have the time as I hit the ground running in both locations 🤩🥰.

My new location in Guelph is in the Acqua Salon and Wellness Spa on 30 Quebec Street, right downtown. My other clinic is in Rockwood and is a quiet country clinic, called Rockwood Naturopathic Clinic. My instagram name there is .

Either space will always put you first because your health matters and I care. ❤️

Starting January 3rd and continuing weekly on Fridays I will also have a 4th year naturopathic student at the clinic for an externship. She will be seeing patients under my supervision and the cost for these visits are only $50. This is a very reasonable start and investment into your health care. Message me for more information or book online at www.Rockwoodnd.com 🎄❤️

Pictured above is me, Dr. Turk, with the Dutch Santa, his name is Sinterklaas.

All the best to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025 🥰🎉

Absolute Health Science has made some big changes! -

Hello everyone! It’s been quite some time since I have sent out any form of newsletter and so I firstly promise not to make this a novel, but do want to share with you some very important changes that have become a part of what Absolute Health Science is.

Well, we had a good run for some time there, but unfortunately we have run into some technical difficulties yesterday evening and after being on the phone for a few hours today with Bell, we will be without internet until at least Monday. I believe we got the phone situation sorted out and will reach out to anyone who was booked in for today to let them know as well.

Apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

September is recognized as Su***de Prevention Month, and today, September 10th, is designated as World Su***de Prevention Day by the International Association for Su***de Prevention, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).

There has been a noticeable uptick of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation since the pandemic occurred, and it doesn’t appear that we are “out of the woods” yet in regard to mental health care.

There are many factors that contribute to the risk of su***de in an individual, including medical, social, economic, and genetic, as examples.

Aside from looking into causation of su***de ideation, such as nutrient deficiencies, malabsorption, toxicity and so on, I want to reach out to you, to let you know that there are places that you can call, if you or a loved one is struggling.

988 is a phone number you can call in Canada that can help people in a mental health crisis. Remember those numbers for you or someone you love who might need access. 988. Just three numbers, similar to 911, will connect you to mental health assistance.

For non emergencies, we can chat about help from a nutrition and supplement protocol (if needed) to support you. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Your health matters. I care. ❤️
