Happy Saturday!
Dr. Shannon and I are spending the weekend at the annual BC Naturopathic Doctors Conference. It’s virtual this year—not ideal, since I miss connecting with my colleagues in person. But at least I get to enjoy the sessions from the comfort of my deck, with my furry conference mate by my side! (Swipe for a cute dog pic!)

Over the last year, I have converted our large plot of grass into a gorgeous garden that is welcoming pollinators and birds. It has been a labour of love, has built strength and soothed my soul. Gardening is medicine, and it has been magical watching these plants grow and bloom. I am hooked! 🌱Dr. Shannon

💪 My pantry is stocked! Lots of nuts, seeds, figs and dates… Speaking of nuts….
🌰Eat a handful of nuts daily for better health!
Studies show that regular nut consumption can lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Nuts help improve cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure. They’re packed with nutrients like healthy fats, fiber, and protein. If you’re worried about weight gain - eating small portions of nuts can actually help reduce food cravings and is unlikely to cause weight gain. Choose raw or unsalted nuts for the best health benefits.
For the best results, aim for 4 or more servings of unsalted nuts per week. A variety of nuts like walnuts, almonds, and pistachios have shown benefits in studies. If choosing specific types feels overwhelming, a mixed nut blend can be great.

📊 Just had my DEXA scan — what a game-changer for midlife health! 💪✨

This powerful tool measures bone density, lean muscle mass, and visceral fat — all key indicators of our health as we age. For women in midlife, it’s essential to track these changes to prevent osteoporosis, muscle loss, and metabolic health risks.

🦴 Bone Density – important in the menopause transition - osteoporosis prevention
💪 Lean Mass – vital for strength, balance & independence
🔥 Visceral Fat – a major marker for heart & metabolic health

Interesting discovery: my scan showed differences in fat percentage between my legs! This kind of insight helps naturopathic doctors create targeted wellness plans to restore balance and optimize health.

At Flourish Naturopathic in Victoria, BC, DEXA scan data will help to personalize your care — from nutrition and supplements to fitness and hormone support. Your body tells a story. We help you read it — and rewrite it.

✨ Take control of your midlife health journey.
