This is for the guys out there 🙋🏽♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏿♂️
we know our society rarely focuses on s***m health. Unlike the eggs, s***ms continuously produce and replenish, making s***m very sensitive to everyday stressors; Adding to this, modern diets do not provide all the necessary micronutrients that are important for seminal fluid like:
-Zinc
-B12
-C
-Selenium
-DHA
What can we do?
Support our guys with prenatal vitamins! Studies recommend adding supplements at least 3 months before start trying to conceive, HOWEVER is never too late to start!
Using supplements to improve male fertility and s***m health can be a game changer! Remember it takes two to make a baby!

In our new Hillcrest shared space offices, upgrading our knowledge on from a perspective by Dr.Rob Ayoup ND.
At Hillcrest, one of our passions is skin health! Knowing that one treatment does not fit all, we want to help patients feel more confident and healthy! 😊 Acne pops up for a variety of reasons ranging from digestive health to hormonal health and it's important to assess WHY it is happening before being treated.
Our new offices are almost ready to go and our renovations are mostly done! (It's taken us a bit longer than planned 😅 ) Stay tuned for updates on what's going on as we navigate the next weeks!

As naturopathic doctors, we take an oath.
This oath ensures that we:
👉 first, do no harm
👉act in cooperation with the healing power of nature
👉address the fundamental causes of disease
👉treat the whole person with an individualized treatment
👉teach the principles of preventitive medicine
It's important to us that our patients get the support they need as individuals with a diverse set of correlations in play. And it's also important to us that nature, both inside ourselves and outside ourselves, be respected.

.alexandrahurtadond cleansing the clinic (before renovating) by burning ceremonial given to us by one of our wonderful receptionists, Sara.
Palo Santo, bursera graveolens, or 'Holy tree' translated from spanish, grows in South America and is related to frankincense and myrrh. Similar to sage and cedar, it is said that it has energetically cleansing properties.
2020 got off on a bad foot but we're making lemonade out of lemons and have taken the time to renovate, add some products to our storefront at 832 St.Clair W and reach out to our community. Bad energy out, good energy in! There's still half of this year left to turn it around! 🤗🤗🤗 Let's do it together!

Our Instagram insights of who follows us.
Not surprisingly, it's 75%women and often women in child bearing years. Why does that not surprise us? #1 Because one of our clinic focuses is hormonal health and #2 because we see everyday that women come to see our practicioners to help them as they are stressed, losing energy and suffering from health issues. The interesting thing, is once you help someone to feel better and empower them to take control of their health narrative, they want to share that knowledge with those they love and others in need.
It means, that our second largest patient category (after children) is husbands who are not sure they want to be here! 🤣 Their wives are so happy with their own health improvements and want to share this with their spouse. It's so, so wonderful and so well meant but you can only show someone the way, you can't walk it for them. 😉
Hillcrest Centre for Health is located in Toronto in the vibrant St. Clair West community in Hillcrest Village.
