What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is when tissue similar to that of the inner lining of the uterus is deposited in areas outside of the uterus such as the colon, bladder, ovaries & Fallopian tubes

😖 This tissue responds to normal hormonal fluctuations and can cause bleeding, scar tissue, inflammation and therefore lots of pain

📈 Not much is known about what causes this, but one theory is estrogen dominance may be a contributor

👩🏻‍⚕️ There are lots of things we can do as NDs to balance the hormones and reduce inflammation in those with endometriosis

Check out Dr. Samantha’s recent blog post to learn more about endometriosis and how ways to support it

👂Have you heard of ear seeds?!

Ear seeds are small seeds that are applied to various acupuncture points in the ears that serve as acupressure

They can be used to help various conditions including:
✔️ Insomnia
✔️ Pain
✔️ Anxiety & depression
✔️ Stress reduction
✔️ Addiction

The ear seeds stay in for about 3-5 days and can be massaged to help stimulate the nervous system

Bring them up at your next appointment to see if they’re for you!

👨🏻 It’s international men’s health week

This week is about bringing awareness of issues around the overall health & wellbeing of men & boys

When we look at men’s health, some common stats we see are:

🔵 Men are less likely to seek healthcare than women (only about 40% of men go to the doctor when they think they have a serious medical condition)
🔵 Mental health is one of the most stigmatized issues affecting men (30.6% of men have suffered from depression on their lifetime)
🔵 Canadian men are 4 times more likely to commit su***de than women
🔵 67% of Canadian men are overweight or obese

Make sure to give the men in your life some love today & always 💙

👨🏻 And know that we are here to help you reach your goals and prioritize your health!

What is the DUTCH test?!

📈 I often get asked if I run the “DUTCH test” and what it tells us

🟡 The DUTCH test stands for “Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones”

It tests the urine to look at our hormones as well as the METABOLITES of our hormones (specifically cortisol, estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin and potentially others)

Urine is collected over a 24 hour period and sent to the lab

📉 The DUTCH test allows us to look at patterns of our hormones and metabolites rather than just a snapshot (as seen in blood work and salivary hormones)

💰 However, it is a very expensive test and for many women, a serum or salivary hormone test (along with symptoms) is enough for us to determine what’s going on

It usually isn’t my first resort in practice because there are more cost effective ways to determine what is going on, however can be useful if we have exhausted other options!

If you have any other question feel free to send us a DM
