Here’s exactly what to expect from your first acupuncture appointment with Dina 🌿

Before you arrive, a detailed intake form is sent your way so Dina can review your health history and come prepared to support you.

At your appointment, she’ll take the time to ask thorough questions and really understand what you’re looking for. This helps make every part of your 60 minutes intentional.

Your treatment begins gently with bodywork and Tuina massage, then moves into additional therapies like cupping, gua sha, or moxibustion depending on your needs.

The acupuncture itself follows, with about 15-20 minutes of quiet rest while the needles work their magic.

You came in carrying something. Like many of Dinas patients before you, you’ll leave feeling like a bit of that weight has lifted 💚

Taco Tuesday: Shrimp tacos 🍤🌮

Not all tacos need to feel heavy. These shrimp tacos are a lighter, nutrient-dense option that still hits the spot.

A lean, high protein option. In 100g of shrimp, you’re getting ~20 - 24 g of protein with very little fat.

Shrimp are rich in iodine and selenium, key nutrients that support thyroid function and metabolism.

Easy to digest, especially when paired with fresh, whole ingredients.

Toppings like crunchy slaw, fresh salsa, and avocado for that perfect balance of protein, fibre, and healthy fats.
Simple swaps like this keep things interesting while still supporting your health goals.

Don’t lose that spark✨ The part of you that’s a little unconventional, a little playful, and completely yours.

Mom of teens still carry so much behind the scenes, even if it looks different than the early years.

For moms with teens, creating space to get out of the house, reconnect with themselves, and express who they are outside of motherhood matters deeply too.

Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is encourage her to take the class, meet the friend, go for the walk, or simply have uninterrupted time for herself.

Happy Mother’s Day Dina! 💐

You’ve heard of The Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen by .org for fruit and vegetables but what about a simple list for Seafood? 🍣🦞🦪🦐

This list exists! The Super Green List of Seafood: A straight forward, easy-to-use guide of the top 10 seafood that is good for you AND good for the planet.

These foods are high in omega-3 fatty acids, low in mercury, and, above all, are rated green by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program for environmental sustainability.

• Rated green by Seafood Watch for environmental sustainability.

Taco Tuesday: Fish tacos 🐟🌮

A lighter take on taco night that still brings plenty of flavour!

Fish is a simple, nourishing protein option (~20-25 g per 100 g), and it can look a little different depending on what you choose. Salmon for its rich omega-3 content, or white fish like cod or haddock when you want something mild, flaky, and easy on digestion.

You can keep it super simple and do pan-fried, bake it in the oven, or go for a breading like almond flour or panko for a crunch.

The fun part is in the build: crunchy cabbage, bright salsa, creamy avocado, a squeeze of lime. You can really get creative with this to make it feel new and complex.

Proof that “simple” meals can still feel really good.

Eating more plant-based doesn’t have to be complicated 🌱

Start simple. Add in things like nuts, seeds, and legumes to keep your meals satisfying and protein-rich.

Then think color! The more variety of fruits and vegetables on your plate, the more nutrients you’re getting. It also makes food more enjoyable 🌈

Fake meats can feel like an easy way to add in protein but are usually highly processed. Dr. Natalie recommends getting your protein from whole food sources as much as possible.

Listen to your body and always choose food that feels good!

The mental load of motherhood starts early.

Having young kids can be such a beautiful but challenging phase. Incorporating a few simple systems and routines can make a huge difference in supporting your nervous system, energy, and overall well-being.

A few gentle ways to support yourself through this season:

✨ Creating simple morning and night routines

✨ Stretching, breathing, or any form of movement instead of immediately scrolling your phone after kids are asleep

✨ Eating something before or with your morning coffee to better support your adrenals

Small habits won’t remove the mental load completely, but they can help create more calm, stability, and support.

Happy Mother’s Day Dr. Yan Yen Loo 💐

Taco Tuesday!

Black bean tacos aren’t just delicious—they’re packed with plant power!

Protein + Fiber Combo: Black beans keep you full longer and support gut health.

Heart Healthy: They’re low in saturated fat and rich in antioxidants that support cholesterol balance.

Planet Friendly: Growing beans uses far less water and land than raising beef.

Budget Wins: Nutritious, affordable, and easy to whip up in minutes.

Swap the beef for beans, load up on veggies, and top with avocado or salsa for a colorful, nourishing twist.
