Jonah and I are so proud of our team for doing this work.

One of our goals as leaders in medicine is to make health education accessible — because when you understand your body, you can better advocate for yourself in a system where your voice and experience influences your health care.

In past years, we have hosted free webinars on Understanding Perimenopause, Chinese Medicine and Perimenopause, Executive burnout, Natural Flu Clinic, and the 4 pillars of Kids Health.

This year, we’re committed to continuing with our Hormone Intelligence Series and offering an educational webinar every 2 months. They will be online, free of charge and completely accessible to everyone!

To kick things off, .naturopath , ND and I will be helping you decode PCOS.

Understanding PCOS: Weight. Cycles. Hormones. Real Answers.
📅 Feb 27th, 12 –1 PM
We’ll cover:
🌿What PCOS really is (and isn’t)
🌿How to properly diagnose
🌿The 4 subtypes of PCOS
🌿Evidence-based naturopathic treatment options

There’s still space so please share this with anyone who may benefit from understanding PCOS better!

Going forward, we’re excited to dine into PMS/PMDD, Teen Period Health and much more!

💬 Is there a topic you’d love us to cover next? Drop it in the comments!

Life has a beautiful way of working out.

After months of waiting in a refugee camp to be sponsored to the United States, my dad finally gave up and said we are going to the next country that agrees to take all of us.

That country was Canada. 🇨🇦

Today is our anniversary for arriving in Canada and we are forever grateful.

Thank you to the wonderful people at the Strathroy United Church and Bethel Baptist Church for sponsoring a number of families from Vietnam, including mine.

Not only did they provide us a safe passage to a new life, our sponsor family came over regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. They sourced beds from the local hospital (I remember thinking our beds were so cool because the head of the bed would go up and down), blankets to keep us warm (green army blankets with ties in the corners that made the best forts) and winter coats during our first winter.

This photo was taken in our first home in Strathroy and I have no doubt our sponsor family provided us with all the clothes on our backs. I particularly loved that yellow jumper and it might be the sole reason why yellow is my favourite colour to this day. 💛

I hope one day I’ll be able to reconnect with our sponsor family and thank them as an adult.

“The Year of the Fire Horse can reshape us and how we define freedom, purpose and courage. It pushes us out of comfort zones not to destabilize us, but to realign our lives with deeper truth.”

Do not get trampled by the high energy of the year by following these simple steps.

SAVE THIS AND REVIST THIS ONCE A MONTH TO HAVE A TRULY TRANSFORMATIVE YEAR. 🔥🐎

This is not a quiet year.

“The Fire Horse brings heat to motion and speed to intention. It amplifies energy that wants to move, break free, and expand.

That can feel exhilarating—but also destabilizing. Knowing how to work with this energy, rather than against it, will be crucial.

Start with what you have been hesitating over. Choose initiatives that require commitment and bravery, not endless optimization.

Channel energy in to movement and expansion. Movement helps prevent the Fire Horse energy from turning into anxiety or frustration.When you feel restless, don’t suppress it—redirect it into purposeful motion.

Trust intuition but pair it with action. Fire Horse years heighten instinct. You may sense decisions before you can logically explain them. Rather than dismissing intuition, test it through small, decisive actions.

DON’T: Force Stability Where It No Longer Exists.
If you’re exhausted from “holding things together,” it may be time to let them evolve—or end.

DON’T: Confuse Speed With Direction. Momentum is powerful; aim it deliberately.

DON’T: Ignore the Cost of Overextension. Build rest into movement. Sustainable momentum beats dramatic burnout.”

Thank you to the Commonwealth magazine for this incredible guide to The Year of the Fire Horse. If you would like to read the whole article, DM me and I will send you link.

♥️🧧Gong Hai Fat Choy my dear friends.
From your Fire Dragon.🔥🐲🐉

As a clinic co-owner of a busy naturopathic practice, a mom to two amazing teens, and someone with big goals and passions beyond work and parenting… I could fill every minute of my day from sunrise to bedtime.

And honestly? Most of 2025 has been beautifully full — work, workouts, family time, responsibilities.

But I’ve always left a little space for spontaneity.

One of my absolute favourite spontaneous joys?
Meeting a friend for coffee or matcha with no big agenda. Just connection, presence, giggles and good coffee (or matcha).

It’s one of the sweetest ways I spend my time.

Thank you yo my dear for saying yes to our Love Day hang at a favourite local spot .ca . It filled my cup to the brim! 💛💛

So this weekend, I invite you to leave a little room in your schedule.

Say yes to the unplanned coffee.
Take the long way home.
Text the friend.

Your heart, your spirit, and your soul will thank you. ✨

🧠Pause your scroll — this matters.
Research suggests 45–72% of dementia may be preventable.

I want to shout out my patients in their 70s and 80s who inspire me daily.
They get it:
✔️ Brain health
✔️ Mobility
✔️ Consistency

They’ve made these priorities for decades — and it shows.

Some of them started this work in their 50s with me and are now reaping the benefits. Stronger bodies. Sharper minds. More independence.

And if you’re in your 40s or 50s and don’t yet have a plan for your brain?
This is your sign.

🧠 The earlier you start, the greater the impact on how you age.

From cognitive stimulation to targeted physical training to functional supplements, there’s so much you can do — now.

We’re here to help you build a plan your future self will thank you for.

Bone loss can begin years before menopause — often silently.

To assess osteoporosis risk before fractures happen, a DEXA scan is the gold standard but most women do not get it done until they are 50 (65 in the US) when it might be too late.

Here are major osteoporosis risk factors and common reasons to request a DEXA from your doctor:
• Estrogen decline (peri & postmenopause)
• Family history of fractures or osteoporosis
• Low body weight
• Smoking or excess alcohol
• Low calcium/vitamin D
• Long-term steroid use
• Thyroid imbalance or malabsorption conditions

In fact, some functional medicine doctors are recommending it, as early as in our 30’s to get a baseline. My recommendation is to get it done in perimenopause (which we know isn’t the same age for everyone) and earlier if you have risk factors are present.

Why a DEXA is so important:
• Bone loss is silent until a fracture occurs
• Early detection = prevention
• Early diagnosis or detection can guide lifestyle changes, supplements or other treatments
• It can help track bone changes over time

If you’re in perimenopause or have risk factors, don’t wait for symptoms.

SAVE THIS TO REMIND YOU TO GET YOUR DEXA OF YOU NEED IT!

AND SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS, SISTERS, MOTHER, AUNTS TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE HAD THEIRS!

Roasted Bosc Pears with Buffalo Kefir, Walnuts, Almonds and H**p Hearts 💛

This simple recipe helps reduce sugar cravings because it calms the biological triggers that drive them, rather than just relying on willpower.

Here’s what this simple bowl does…

1. It stabilizes blood sugar
The pears provide natural sweetness, but pairing them with protein (kefir/yogurt), healthy fats, and fiber slows glucose absorption. This prevents the spike → crash cycle that fuels intense sugar cravings later.

2. It satisfies the sweet taste without overstimulation
Fruit delivers sweetness in a gentle, nutrient-dense form, unlike refined sugar which overstimulates dopamine and keeps you wanting more.

3. It supports appetite-regulating hormones
Protein and fats increase satiety hormones (like GLP-1 and peptide YY), helping you feel full and satisfied instead of hunting for dessert 30 minutes later.

4. It feeds beneficial gut bacteria
Pears contain prebiotic fiber, and kefir provides probiotics. Together, they help support a healthier microbiome, which is associated with more stable hunger signals and fewer sugar-driven urges over time.

5. It reduces stress-driven cravings
Cinnamon helps improve insulin sensitivity, and the combination of slow-digesting nutrients keeps cortisol and energy levels more stable — both big players in emotional sugar cravings.

Bottom line:
This bowl doesn’t “fight” cravings — it prevents them by meeting your body’s need for sweetness and stability at the same time.

That’s why it works so well when sugar cravings hit.

✨Hope it works for you as well as it works for me!✨

This incredible salad is my new favourite!

It’s a combo of random things I had in my fridge that happened to work extremely well together.

First, you must make the , 5 star recipe: Sheet-Pan Feta with Chickpeas and Tomatoes. While making that, you also roast a bunch of peppers. Once they are both ready, you simply add the two to a bed of baby arugula, tear some fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with chili paper flakes. Then finish with a drizzle with your best extra virgin olive oil.

OMG, you’ve done it. All the flavours of pizza (according to my office manager Calyn) with naturopath-approved incredients!

SAVE THIS RECIPE AND ENJOY!

For the Sheet-Pan Feta with Chickpeas and Tomatoes, you need:
3 cups of cooked chickpeas, drained, rinsed and shaken dry
2 pints cherry tomatoes
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp chili pepper flakes
pinch of salt
2 blocks of goat’s or sheep’s milk feta (6 - 8 ounces), crumbled into large chunks

For the Roasted Peppers, you need:
4 yellow, orange and/or red peppers, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil

For the rest of the salad, you need:
5 oz of baby arugula
a few sprigs of fresh basil
pinch of chilli pepper flakes
2 - 3 tbsp of your best extra virgin olive oil

First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Place all your ingredients for the Sheet Pan Feta dish on a sheet pan and mix well.

Roast until feta and tomatoes are soft, around 30 minutes.

Place all your sliced peppers on a separate sheet pain. Add evoo and mix well.

Roast until soft and charred, around 15 minutes.

Then add your roasted ingredients to a large bed of arugula, torn basil leaves, chilli pepper flakes and your best quality olive oil.

Mix well then serve or enjoy right away.

Or keep all the ingredients in the fridge and warm the roasted dishes up and prepare the salad one bowl at a time when you’re hungry!

Buon appetito! 💛

This moment - your current experience, thoughts, feelings, imperfections - is already part of “the way.”.

In simpler terms, you are already on the path you’re seeking.

Stop searching for a “better” version of yourself before you allow yourself to be enough.

Meaning, peace, or awakening is found by being fully present in this moment. 💛

One of the most common questions I get is: “How do I fuel my kids for all their activities?”My answer is always the same — with REAL food! 🍎🥕

Whole, nourishing foods give kids the energy, focus, and strength they need to learn, play, and grow. One of my all-time favourite ways to do this is with ‘s Superhero Muffins — packed with veggies, oats, and good fats to keep them going strong. These muffins are nutritionally superior to any store-bought muffin, protein bar or granola bar!

They’re easy to make, kid-approved, and perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go snacks. Because when we feed our kids real food, we’re helping them feel their best — inside and out. 💪✨

* 1/3 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation
Position a rack in the center of the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Coconut oil or line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
