Teamwork makes the dream work 💓👏

Grateful for my hubs swooping in to take our toddlers out for a fun lunch date while I hosted a naturopathic team meeting at the clinic today.

Balancing clinic life and mom life is truly a family effort — and I’m so thankful for the support 💛

Supporting my lungs this cold + flu season 💨🩵

One of my go-to supplements this time of year is PharmaNAC — an effervescent NAC (N-acetylcysteine) tablet that helps protect and support respiratory health. 🌿

NAC is a powerful antioxidant that helps:
✨ Boost glutathione (your body’s master detoxifier)
✨ Thin mucus to clear the airways
✨ Reduce respiratory inflammation
✨ Support recovery from colds, flus, or chronic congestion

I love how easy this form is to take — just dissolve in water, and it becomes a fizzy, lightly berry-flavoured drink. 🍓💧

We often keep PharmaNAC stocked right here at the clinic for patients who want to support their immune and lung health through the colder months. ❄️

What a great episode! 🎧
I love tuning in to Dr. Kelly Casperson, MD — she’s always so well-spoken and informative when it comes to women’s health, and especially hormone replacement therapy.

This episode features therapist Dr. Boyle in a powerful conversation about s*x therapy in midlife — exploring how hormonal shifts, trauma, and emotional factors influence women’s s*xual health and relationships.

They highlight how hormone replacement therapy can be a game-changer, not only supporting long-term physical health (heart, bone, and brain) but also helping restore libido, energy, and overall vitality.

✨ Key takeaways:
• Low libido can be a message — your body asking for balance.
• Hormone therapy can improve both physical and s*xual well-being.
• Healing trauma doesn’t mean reliving it — it’s about releasing it.
• Perimenopause can last years and affect every aspect of health.
• EMDR therapy helps process stored emotional stress.
• Communication and emotional safety are essential for intimacy.

Such an empowering reminder that women deserve to feel healthy, connected, and fully alive through every stage of life. 💫

For any ladies in their thirties, this episode will help prepare you for perimenopause, and ladies in your forties it's a must watch to make improvements, and ladies in your fifties and sixties, this will be eye opening and help encourage HRT options you still have to support your health.

🍌🍞 Oh if you could smell my kitchen through this photo 🤩🍌🍞

Bananas and avocados are hit or miss in my house — sometimes we eat them right when they’re perfectly ripe, and other times they’re over before we even circle back to them. Lately, even salad greens have been that way… so many boxes gone bad before I can sneak them into a meal.

Life with littles means meal times are wild! I used to love building monster salads with every topping (hello avocado 🥑), but these days it’s more like: what can I eat in T-minus 2 minutes before chasing a toddler… or what can I prep that they’ll actually eat with me. 😅

My organic bananas were looking a little too brown today, so I figured I better get them into something stat!
Voilà — banana bread 💛

Honestly, nothing beats homemade — it’s so much more affordable and way healthier than the store-bought or drive-through versions (looking at you, Starbucks 😉). Simple ingredients, no synthetic flavors, preservatives, or fillers — just real food, made fresh in your own kitchen.

What are you tossing most these days?

I stopped by the clinic today to restock on some of my family supplement essentials for my little ones 💕

Our go-tos are from Orange Naturals are their chewable tablets of magnesium glycinate, vitamin C with elderberry, zinc with vitamin C, and probiotics tablets. Those are the big hits at our house (and my kids actually love them!).

I also use vitamin D drops to keep their immune and digestive systems supported, and occasionally I will add chewable multivitamin and iron tablets from the brand NutraMeltz to top up their nutrient intake.

Of course, our home medicine cabinet is stocked with plenty of other remedies for colds, flu, and day-to-day concerns — but these are the everyday favorites I keep on hand year-round.

✨ Bonus — you can find the super kid-friendly Orange Naturals line at Hudson Integrative Healthcare. I like to stock a wide range of favorites so our patients can keep their family wellness routines simple and effective too!

Woohoo! Been craving a warm, hearty soup — ’tis the season 🍂

I made a big pot of roasted butternut squash + carrot soup with apple, ginger, garlic, onion, and broth.

Root veggies are total comfort food — rich in vitamins to support the immune system, gentle on little tummies, and deeply nourishing to the Stomach and Spleen systems in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

In TCM, Fall corresponds to the Lung and Large Intestine systems, which help us release what we no longer need — physically and emotionally. These organs are our first line of defense against seasonal illness. Eating warm, cooked, grounding foods like root vegetables and aromatic herbs (ginger, garlic, onion) helps strengthen these systems, support immunity, and protect against the dryness and chill in the air.

The Spleen and Stomach also thrive on warm, lightly sweet, easy-to-digest meals — keeping digestion strong and energy stable as the weather cools.

🥣 A cozy bowl of soup that truly nourishes body, mind, and spirit this season.
✨ Live with the seasons.

Toddler nutrition is tricky 🍎🍞

No one warned me about the picking! Not just picky eating — but how much little ones prefer to graze, nibble, or take a few bites before running back to play. Sitting down for a full meal? Rarely happens! So I’m learning to offer food several times a day and reheat leftovers to make sure they get in the hearty meals and protein — not just the quick snacky favorites like this go-to option.

And don’t get me started on veggies 😂 I always thought I’d be raising kale-loving kids… but raw salads? Not a hit (of course). Raw carrots and celery? Too risky for chokables at this stage. So we’re in our soups, stews, and hidden-in-the-sauce era for veggies right now.

Focusing on animal proteins and fruits as our mainstays — veggies as a bonus when we can sneak them in. At the end of the day, if they’re fed, hydrated, and happy… that’s a win!🏆🙌

📸 Stopping by the clinic to do some clinic owner duties with my littles in tow today.

Little tricky to get things done while also chasing my toddlers from taking everything off every surface to play with, and nursing, and changing diapers, but we got it done 😅👍.
