These are some of the foods and products that I tell my patients to prioritize buying organic if they can. These are among the most heavily sprayed crops with the highest amounts of pesticide residue. Organic dairy is also important as the pesticides from the foods that the animals eat accumulate in the fat and come out in the milk.

EWG puts together a dirty dozen (and clean 15) list each year by testing various produce and coming up with a list of those with the most and least amount of pesticide residue left. https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php

Do you try to buy certain products organic?

2025: The year of the snake ๐Ÿ , which symbolizes wisdom, transformation and personal growth โœจ๐Ÿ’ซ. I resonate with this deeply as I begin a new chapter in both my personal and my work life. Iโ€™ll be stepping into motherhood and taking time to focus on enjoying and nurturing our new family. I cannot wait to meet our little nugget coming in February!

This is also my last week at Focus Health Clinic, where I began my naturopathic medical practice. Iโ€™ve loved working in this space, alongside wonderful practitioners and the most incredible patients a doc could ask for. I will miss this space, but am embracing the transition that the universe is nudging me towards. While the doors to this clinic close, new doors open. I am excited to join the amazing team at upon my return from maternity leave! Stay tuned for updates on my return.

Iโ€™m excited for the journey ahead and all the growth that it brings. ๐Ÿ’•

This was worthy of a , as I couldnโ€™t have said it better myself!

When you invest in your health with a naturopathic doctor, you are investing in your quality of life and investing in a practitioner that is putting all of the puzzle pieces of your health together. You are choosing to invest your money now so that you are not forced to fight for your health later. What is that worth to you?

What is a healthy body, mind and spirit worth to you?
What is old age without chronic disease worth to you?
What is getting answers about your health to you?
What is your independence as you age worth to you?
What is feeling like yourself again after years of being told โ€œeverythingโ€™s fine,โ€ worth to you?

Some things to think about and ask yourself.

You are paying for so much more than that time that you are in the appointment. You are investing in your life. Whatโ€™s it worth to you?

When youโ€™re ready to take that step, I am here for you. We are here for you.
