Getting to the root cause of what’s upsetting your gut takes time. If your digestion still feels off and you haven’t seen the progress you were hoping for, here are 5 key habits worth exploring.

Of course, everything in moderation is totally okay. But over time, these habits can start to build up and quietly contribute to symptoms like bloating, irregular stools, low energy, and inflammation.

If you’ve been feeling stuck with your gut health, this might be a helpful place to start.

As someone who’s definitely stayed up too late reading just one more chapter (I’m looking at you, Sarah J. Maas), I’ve come to appreciate how much our daily rhythms play into gut health. These 5 tiny tweaks might seem simple on the surface—but when they become part of your daily routine, they can do your digestion a world of good.

Think: a few extra steps in your day, catching the morning light, or actually chewing your food without distractions (I know, easier said than done). These habits aren’t about perfection—they’re about creating moments that support your gut-brain connection, calm your nervous system, and help reduce symptoms like bloating, sluggish digestion, and fatigue.

Because let’s be real: we all want to feel good in our bodies. And if making your plate more colourful or sticking to a regular sleep schedule can help with that? Count me in.

If any of these habits speak to you, I’d love to hear which one you’re going to start with first. Or better yet—tag a friend and try them together 💛🌿

✨ I’m so excited to share that I’ve officially entered my clinical year at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM)! ✨
I'm now welcoming new patients at the Schad Naturopathic Clinic — and I’d love to be part of your care team. You can book with any of my amazing supervising naturopathic doctors and simply request to have me as your intern!

🌿 My heart lies in supporting those navigating gut health, autoimmune conditions, and women’s health. My path here has been deeply personal—having lived with PCOS, celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis), I understand how overwhelming and isolating chronic illness can feel.
This lived experience helps me show up for my patients with not just knowledge, but true compassion and care. I believe in the power of education and collaboration—because when we understand our bodies, we feel more empowered to make lasting, meaningful change.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space and personalized care plans that meet you where you’re at. If you’re interested, check out my website and booking links in my bio or DM me personally.

Availability:
- Tuesdays 3pm - 7pm with Dr. Bhardwaj
- Wednesdays 3pm - 7pm with Dr. Singh
- Thursdays 3pm - 7pm with Dr. Gratton�

💻 Virtual visits available for Ontario residents
If you’re looking for care that’s grounded in empathy, science, and partnership—I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

�You can book using the link in my bio or send me a DM with any questions 💛

Do leafy greens leave you bloated, gassy, or running to the bathroom? 😩
You’re not alone—and nope, your body isn’t being dramatic. Your gut might be waving a little white flag for a few sneaky reasons:

- SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth): When bacteria from your large intestine crash the small intestine party and start fermenting your greens too early. Hello bloating, gas, and fatigue.
- Oxalate Sensitivity: Some greens (like spinach and chard) are high in oxalates. If your gut’s not binding and clearing them properly, they can trigger inflammation, pain, and irritation.
- Hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid): Without enough stomach acid, fibre-rich veggies don’t break down well, leading to digestive discomfort and uninvited gut chaos.
- Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis: Your fibre-digesting bacteria may be MIA or overwhelmed, meaning your greens can ferment the wrong way and produce inflammatory byproducts instead of those gut-healing goodies like butyrate.

✨What can you do?
Pay attention to your symptoms and most importantly—work with a gut-savvy practitioner to get to the root cause!

Winter had its moment—with all the comfort food, stress, and sick days. But now? It’s time to nourish, not just recover.

Think: probiotic-rich bites, fibre-packed prebiotics, a splash of sun, and a dash of digestive bitters. Your microbiome’s dream team.

A healthy gut means better digestion, clearer skin, more energy, and yes—less bloating (finally).

Let your spring refresh start from within. Because gut health isn’t just a trend—it’s your foundation.

Endometriosis is more than just period pain—it’s a chronic condition that impacts every aspect of life.

From severe pain and fatigue to fertility struggles and mental health challenges, endometriosis is often dismissed, misunderstood, and underdiagnosed. Many suffer for years before getting the care they need.

Raising awareness is the first step toward change. Better education, more research, and greater support can make a real difference for those living with this condition.

Let’s start the conversation. Share this post to help spread awareness and support those with endometriosis.

✨ Chronic illness is often misunderstood, leaving many patients to navigate a healthcare system filled with bias and barriers. Did you know it takes an average of 4-6 years for many chronic conditions to be accurately diagnosed? 💔 Women, younger individuals, and those living with intersecting biases—such as weight stigma, ageism, or mental health challenges—are often dismissed or misdiagnosed.

This post is a reminder that you’re not alone in this journey. 💜 Advocate for yourself, trust your intuition, document everything, and keep pushing for answers. Your health is worth it, and your voice matters. Together, we can raise awareness and work towards a more compassionate, inclusive healthcare system. 🌿

Being a medical student and someone deeply passionate about wellness doesn’t mean I have it all figured out. These photos are a reminder that I’m human too—I face challenges with anxiety, fall off routines, forget my supplements, and have moments where I feel lost in my health. And you know what? That’s okay.

Wellness isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being real, learning to navigate the ups and downs, and giving yourself grace along the way.

These photos reflect my reality:
🌟 I struggle with managing my anxiety, even while trying to support others through their healing.
🌟 There are weeks when my workouts are inconsistent, and I let myself rest instead of pushing through.
🌟 I allow myself to enjoy treat foods because balance is key, and food is meant to be enjoyed.
🌟 I sometimes forget to take my supplements or keep up with my own healthcare appointments, even though I remind others to prioritize theirs.
🌟 And there are moments when I feel completely lost with my own health, unsure of the next step.

As someone who loves empowering others to take charge of their health, I want you to know: it’s okay to not have it all figured out. It’s okay to fall in and out of routines. You are still worthy of care, love, and healing.

Here’s to embracing the messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey of being human. 💕 Let’s normalize the fact that growth isn’t linear and healing isn’t a straight path.

If you’re navigating your own ups and downs, just know you’re not alone—we’re all in this together. 🌿✨
