Is your thyroid the missing key to your health challenge? 🔑🦋
So many people are told their thyroid is “fine,” yet they still struggle with fatigue, weight changes, mood issues, or feeling off. Often the problem isn’t the thyroid itself… it’s the incomplete assessment.

Here are 3 essentials I highlight in today’s video that are often overlooked:
1️⃣ Test key vitamins + minerals that support thyroid health (listen for the full list)
2️⃣ Assess other hormones that directly influence thyroid function
3️⃣ Go beyond TSH for a deeper, more accurate picture

Curious about optimal blood test ranges or want a more complete workup?
📩 Feel free to reach out — this is what I do every day.

✨ Detox Through Your Skin ✨
Research shows that our sweat can carry out a surprising list of environmental toxins — including BPA, chlorinated pesticides, mercury, cadmium, and more. An infrared sauna is one of the most effective ways to support this natural detox pathway.

The key?
🔥 A high-quality sauna
❄️ A cold shower or plunge right after
💧 And always replenish with electrolytes

Live close to the clinic? Visit my website for a full list of evidence-based benefits of infrared sauna therapy and to book your sauna sessions today. Your detox journey starts here. 🤍

Progesterone isn’t just a “hormone for your cycle”—it’s a powerful neuromodulator. We have progesterone receptors throughout the brain, especially in regions that regulate mood, stress response, and sleep. When levels are low, many women feel it as anxiety, irritability, and that sense of being “on edge.”

In this patient story, a woman shared that after 20 years of living with constant anxiety, just a few days of using bioidentical progesterone cream helped her feel like she was finally getting herself back.
Sometimes the missing piece is hormonal.

Autoimmune symptoms without a clear trigger? It might be worth looking beyond the usual suspects. Mold exposure doesn’t always show up as coughing, wheezing, or sinus symptoms. In fact, in some people, it can drive a deeper immune dysregulation known as CIRS—Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.

CIRS can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, aches, hormonal shifts, mood changes, digestive issues, and yes… even autoimmune flares. If you’ve been searching for the “why” behind persistent inflammation, mold might be part of the picture.

Your body is always talking—sometimes we just have to know what to listen for. 💚

When it comes to menopausal weight gain, there’s rarely one single solution.
Sometimes the right medication can help jumpstart progress — but lasting change comes from rebuilding metabolism, hormones, and habits at the root.
That’s where the power of integrative medicine shines: blending the best of conventional and naturopathic care to support the whole woman, not just the symptom. 🌿💊

I came across this quote and immediately thought of my profession.

In Quebec, where I practice, naturopathic medicine remains unregulated — not for lack of effort, but because the provincial government has yet to determine how best to assess its value.

This stands in contrast to seven other provinces and one territory where our profession is regulated, and at a time when the importance of prevention, functional medicine, and whole-person care has never been clearer.

I hold deep gratitude for conventional medicine and the dedicated professionals who care for millions every day. And I believe the integration of lifestyle medicine, nutritional optimization, hormone balance, and gut health is an essential complement to that care.

Regulation isn’t a question of if, but when. Stage 3 is coming — with time, patience, and continued collaboration.

Be well, Paola.

Your body is built to detox — but what happens when the system gets overloaded? 💥

From plastics in our water, molds in our homes, to heavy metals in our environment, the toxic load around us keeps climbing.

When your body can’t keep up, those toxins don’t just disappear… they recirculate, contributing to inflammation, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and more.

This video breaks down what that toxic onslaught looks like — and why supporting your natural detox pathways is no longer optional. 🌀

Recently had the pleasure of speaking at a corporate event in Toronto on two big topics that impact health and performance: menopause + metabolic syndrome — both in English et en français. 💡✨

Huge thanks to OTIP and Starling Minds for making these conversations possible. 🙌

Love bringing evidence-based, practical tools to workplaces — knowledge that sparks change. 🚀
