Feeling “fine” isn’t the same as feeling well.

If you’ve ever been told your labs are normal but you still feel tired, foggy, or off — you’re not alone.

True healing starts when we stop chasing symptoms and start asking why.❓

What’s included? ⬇️
✨ Four consultations
✨ Advance nutrition assessment panel
✨ Comprehensive bloodwork

Derpy made an appearance this Halloween — costume approved by the kids, visibility questionable. 😂💙

Moments like this remind me that joy, laughter, and time together are the best medicine.

Your gut isn’t just about digestion — it’s the foundation for how your whole body functions.

When your gut is imbalanced or inflamed, it can throw off your mood, immunity, hormones, and even your skin.

🧠 90% of serotonin (your “feel-good” neurotransmitter) is made in the gut
🔥 Inflammation in the gut = inflammation throughout the body
💪 A healthy gut means better focus, stronger immunity, and more stable energy

Healing your gut is about more than food — it’s about supporting every system that depends on it. 🌿

If your mood, skin, or energy feel off, your gut might be trying to tell you something.

Feeling run down as we head into fall and winter? 🍂

This patient came to me last year exhausted, bloated, and catching every bug going around. Winter always felt like a setback — like their body just couldn’t keep up.

This time of year can magnify what’s already out of balance: low energy, restless sleep, sluggish digestion, and a weaker immune system.

But those symptoms aren’t “just part of the season.” They’re messages — your body asking for deeper support.

When we address the root causes, everything shifts:

✨ Better digestion + less bloating
✨ Steadier, stronger energy
✨ Deep, restorative sleep
✨ Resilient immunity going into winter

That’s the power of a personalized, whole-body approach — one that listens deeply and supports what you uniquely need to thrive.

What is your hair trying to tell you? ✨

Changes in hair thickness, texture, or scalp health can feel worrying — but they’re often an early sign your body needs support.

From nutrient deficiencies and thyroid dysfunction to stress and hormonal shifts, hair health is deeply connected to your internal balance.

When patients come to me with hair concerns, we explore the root causes together:
💡 Nutrient status
💡 Thyroid & hormone health
💡 Stress and inflammation
💡 Gut & immune function
💡 Medication factors

Alongside personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies, I often prescribe supplements individualized to YOU in order to truly address the root cause.

Your hair is speaking — let’s listen to what it needs.💚

Your gut does more than digest - it communicates with nearly every system in your body. 🧠💪

When the gut barrier becomes weakened, bacterial fragments called LPS (lipopolysaccharides) can leak into the bloodstream. This triggers the immune system and sets off a cascade of inflammation known as Metabolic Endotoxemia.

Research now links this process to almost every major chronic condition - from autoimmunity and hormone imbalance to insulin resistance, fatigue, and brain fog.

And here’s the surprising part:
You can experience systemic inflammation even without digestive symptoms. The gut may seem “quiet,” while still driving inflammation elsewhere in the body.

The good news? The gut can heal.
By restoring microbial balance and gut barrier integrity, you can calm inflammation from the inside out.

🍽 Eat a colourful, fibre-rich, plant-forward diet
💤 Prioritize sleep and stress care
🥣 Include fermented foods daily
🧘‍♀️ Work with a naturopathic or functional medicine doctor to identify root causes

👉 Read the full article on my blog to learn more about Metabolic Endotoxemia and how to support your gut.
And if you’re ready for personalized guidance, book a consultation to get to the root cause of your gut symptoms.
