Your best medicine is in the kitchen, hands down.

A profound cause of disease is what we plate daily. Similarly, what we don’t plate is a significant block to our ability to heal (pain, weight management, hormone imbalance, you name it!)

At DCIM, we have 3 Naturopathic Doctors that practice nutritional medicine everyday, and with every patient. Come see us - we would be thrilled to help you transform your kitchen into a powerful medicinary!

Avast there matey! While you’re enjoying the b***y from tonight’s treating, avoid the bilge with these fair tips:

1. Sugar freezes your immune cells making you more susceptible to viral infections. To unfreeze them, supplement with vitamin C (take it to bowel tolerance - in other words, as high as you can without needing a trip to the heads).

2. Fill yer mug with immune strengthening herbs to stimulate your immune system. Usnea, thyme and echinacea are all great. But better yet, ask one of our NDs to custom blend a toddy just for you - it doesn’t get better than your own signature drink.

3. Support your microbiome and ensure you’re taking your good quality probiotics at the right dose for you.

4. Walk your own plank and cold plunge! The best effects for immune stimulation are when you alternate hot and cold, and your shower is the perfect place. Really warm, pure cold. Repeat 2-3 times and end on cold. May feel like you’re being fed to the sharks, but it’s a powerful way to feel truly alive!

5. Go to bed on time. Your mother told you this too. Nothing fancy about this one mate.

6. Call the clinic and get an “Immune Bundle” - 5 powerful immune medicines dosed just for you! And the real b***y? You get a free 15 minute immune consult with your ND where they custom blend your tinctured toddy and individualize the dosing of the medicines to serve your unique needs. There is treasure here - come and get it!

And should you not heed any of this fine advice, do call when you take on water and one of our fine NDs will bail you out!

Just finished this fantastic read by a fellow WestEnder, Kaylee Miller. The story is situated right here in Vancouver, which makes it all the more compelling. This is the first in Kaylee’s trilogy, and having thoroughly enjoyed it, I am so looking forward to the second!

The author warns her readers, however, that her books dig into some dark themes. If while reading them you find yourself triggered in any way, please reach out to the clinic for support. We have a fantastic RCC at DCIM, Anna MacGillivray, who has a wealth of experience working with trauma of various kinds. Although a story may seem innocuous, it can be a powerful channel for unearthing deep things within us.

If you enjoy reading and supporting local artists, you can find Kaylee’s books on Amazon.

Snug a cozy mug of Tinctured Tea!

Mine has a mix of adaptogens and immune herbs, which is great in this rainy weather - it tastes like a fragrant medicinal forest steeped in my cup… aaaaahhhhhhh….🌲

Dr. Christine, Dr. Jenna or myself can build you a beautiful blend of powerful botanicals to nourish your body and soothe your spirit - ask for one on your next visit!

Key note: The difference between yours and mine? Yours will come with a clean label! 😉

🔥 Fire cupping with Breno!! I just had my first cupping treatment and am so excited to see what the after effects are. As a swimmer and yoga fan, my upper back and arms are really important to the exercise I love, and I can’t wait to see how fire cupping helps to shift muscle tension and soreness.

Apparently, the darker the circle, the greater Qi and Blood stagnation was present (this is what causes muscle tension and pain, from a TCM perspective). Given the colour of these circles, I anticipating greater fluidity and flexibility in my movements - I can’t wait!

🔥To book your own cupping session with Breno, call the clinic (604-688-1169) or click the link in our BIO. Breno works at DCIM on Tuesdays from dawn til dusk! 🔥

🐾 This is Zoom. He was Karen’s eyes for many years but he retired early in the Pandemic. Border closures at the time affected supplies for many of us, but for Karen, these closures meant a complete block of her access to sight.

The main training school for Seeing Eye Dogs is in the States, and the process for pairing a dog and their human is extensive. Already a challenging process, the waitlists grew ever longer over the Pandemic and Karen has been ever patient in her goal for a new dog to be her eyes.

Today she heads off to meet her new match, and if all goes well, we will have a new 4-legged colleague at the clinic and we can hardly wait!! 🤞

Karen will be back seeing patients the second week of September, and as always, her schedule is booking quickly! Please call the clinic or hop online to book your spot today. 🐾LINK TO BOOK in BIO🐾

Our Story

Doctors' Choice Naturopathic Clinic is owned by naturopathic doctor, Dr. Martha Reid. The clinic is located in a beautiful heritage house (circa 1890) in the heart of Vancouver's vibrant Westend. With plenty of natural light and surrounded by lush gardens, the clinic offers the perfect space to relax and address one's health. A Note from Dr. Reid... Naturopathic Medicine is individualized medicine. This means that as an ND, I treat the person not the disease, and the root of the problem rather than the symptoms. I use a wide variety of therapeutic modalities to meet the specific needs of each patient. Just as every person is unique, so is every treatment! At Doctors' Choice Naturopathic, I welcome men, women and children of all ages. I see patients for acute concerns such as a sudden cold or nutritional support for an upcoming athletic event, as well as treating a great variety of chronic ailments such as hormonal imbalances, gastro-intestinal diseases, skin ailments, children's health concerns, autoimmune conditions, male and female infertility, seniors health issues and much more. With Naturopathic Medicine, there really is no limitation to the scope of treatable conditions. Come on into the clinic and see for yourself!
