Depression isn't always just about mood. Sometimes it's about energy.

Emerging research is exploring the role of mitochondria, the energy producing systems in our cells, in mental health.

When cellular energy is low, it can affect: motivation, emotional resilience and cognitive clarity.

From a biological perspective, some experiences of depression may reflect a reduction in physiological capacity, not just psychological factors.

This doesn't replace therapy or medications but it can expand how we understand what someone is experiencing.

I wrote more about this in my latest post on Substack.

☀️ Starting in 2 weeks | UofT Continuing Studies

I'm teaching a virtual course at UofT called The Physical Path to Mental & Emotional Wellness, and we already have a great group forming.

This course is for anyone who wants to understand how hormones, digestion, inflammation, nutrients and nervous system regulation shape mood, energy, and emotional resilience.

It's also a great fit for therapists, educators, and caregivers looking for a whole-body, evidence-based framework to support mental health.

🌱 No prior health background needed
🌱 Practical, accessible, science- based

💻 Virtual class
🗓 Thursdays | 7 - 9 PM

I'd love to have you join us!

I posted a new Substack essay 🌱 A piece about Generational Health, stress physiology, women's health and the invisible threads that connect us to the people who came before us.

A box of silver spoons from my late grandmother set the reflection in motion and it led me somewhere unexpected.

How much of our health is our own and how much is inherited through physiology, story, stress patterns or cultural history?

A brief acknowledgement:
Many communities carry Generational trauma that shapes health in profound ways. My story is just one example, not a template, and I want to hold that with care and respect.

So many of us are taught to fix our symptoms as fast as possible. But what if the first step toward healing is to get curious about what our body is saying?

My new Substack essay explores how curiosity itself can become medicine 💊.

NEW POST 🌸 - Perimenopause Depression

Depression during perimenopause is something I see in practice daily and something that I feel strongly about supporting.

There are many biological and physiological changes as menopause approaches and mood changes often present as a result.

This blog post gets in to some of the trends in research and points an optimistic light in the direction of research and with it treatment options!

HRT and antidepression medications are very important treatment options as is therapy but there are also other supportive pieces to look at.

Check out the post and let me know what you think!! On Substack or here 🌸💛

We're in this together,

Meghan

New Study 🔎

Suprisingly the first study of it's kind to look at brain changes during pregnancy as they relate to postpartum depression!

Findings 🔎
● There are brain changes in women with depression during peripartum.
● Diffferent changes were seen with 1. Depression symptoms postpartum and 2. A challenging birth experience.
● These findings demonstrate that tracking neuroanatomical changes during the transition to motherhood can help identify vulnerabilities.
● Hopefully these findings will lead to more causative understanding of why these changes are present and how to support them better!

Study 💡🙏🏼

UofT Course, Your Health: Naturopathic Medicine, is a GO! 🎉 There's still time to register 🌱

This is a course that I've been teaching since 2008 and it's still as relevant as ever. Medicine and especially Functional Medicine has come a long way but the foundations are still the same.

Join us as we explore these foundations of health and discus what it means to be healthy. We'll take a close and evidence based look @

🌱 Digestive Health: functional aspects, microbiome, gut permeability, food sensitivities, optimal strategies.

🌱 Hormonal Health: Thyroid, reproductive and adrenal hormone balance, the stress response and cortisol.

🌱 Immune health: Inflammation, balance and optimization.

🌱 Detoxification: what, why, where, how...

🌱 Cardiovascular health: a functional understanding, cholesterol balance and arterial health.

Staring February 14th and running weekly for 8 weeks with Continuing Studies at UofT.

This is an introductory class with no prerequisites. Ideal for general interest, health practitioners, students interested in the field and anyone looking to understand and improve their health.

Hope to see you there!!
