Fresh Face Friday!
Meet Dr. Nicole Cerf, one of our amazing Naturopaths!

🤔 What made you become a Naturopath?
I always knew I wanted to help people, but didn't know in what capacity until my grandma was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. She went to see a naturopath and with dietary changes among other treatment protocols, gained a better quality of life. This is what inspired me to become a naturopath and help others on their journey to health.
🤔What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Ride horses
🤔What is your biggest "pet peeve?"
When people turn without signaling
🤔If you won the lottery, what is the first thing that you would spend your winnings on
Paying off my mortgage/expenses and then subsidize private testing for my patients
🤔What's your favorite "dad joke?"
I'm on a seafood diet. I see food and I eat it!

Yum!

Overnight Buckwheat Flatbread! Gluten-free and vegan! So easy. 😊 In a high-powered blender purée 2 cups of uncooked raw buckwheat groats with 2.5 cups of filtered water and 2 teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar. Pour batter into a quart jar and cover with a cloth napkin or paper towel secured with a rubber band. Let the mixture sit on the counter for about 18-24 hours. 😊 Then add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt, cover and shake the jar to thoroughly mix. 😊 Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil or coconut oil. Pour some batter in and cook for a few minutes on each side. Use a very thin, flexible metal spatula to flip these. Add more oil in between each flatbread. 😊 Place onto a platter and serve. Yield: About 7. The flatbreads will be a bit gummy hot off the skillet, however, as they cool their texture is👌.

Interesting info graphic from Dr. Mark Hyman on triggers that may cause hormone imbalances:

Imbalances in your hormones are triggered by bad food. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you eat sugar, you’ll produce more insulin, more estrogen, and more testosterone. Any type of flour and sugar can lead to these imbalances. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Dairy and gluten are often triggers for inflammation and hormonal imbalances. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Xenobiotics or environmental chemicals like pesticides in our food can act like powerful hormone disruptors and trigger our own hormones to go out of balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We know that sugar, caffeine, alcohol, stress, and lack of exercise all contribute to worse PMS and all hormonal imbalances – including menopause.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After removing the bad stuff, you will want to replace it with good stuff. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Eat a whole, real, unprocessed, organic, mostly plant-based diet with organic or sustainably raised animal products. When you focus on this type of diet, you minimize intake of xenoestrogens, hormones, and antibiotics. Taking simple steps like choosing organic food and drinking filtered water can hugely impact hormone balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Getting good quality sleep every night and exercising regularly can help balance your hormones. Along with supplementing with Omega-3, vitamin D3, B vitamins, magnesium, and probiotics. ⁣
