A bone density test is important to identify those at risk of broken bones (i.e. fractures), confirm a diagnosis of osteoporosis, and monitor treatment of osteoporosis. The most common type of bone density test is called a DEXA scan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although age is the main risk factor for osteoporosis, there are proven ways to help reduce risk of bone loss and keep bones strong: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. EXERCISE: This cannot be stressed enough! Exercise, especially weight-bearing exercises, is one of THE best ways to prevent bone loss. Building muscle strength helps to protect our bones and prevent falls from happening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. CALCIUM & VITAMIN D. Foods high in calcium such as leafy green vegetables and salmon, are important to help remodeling of bones. As we get older, our ability to absorb calcium decreaases which is why it's important to make sure that we are maximizing and supplementing as necessary. Vitamin D helps to build stronger bones by increasing the absorption of calcium. Vitamin D deficiency contributes to osteoporosis because calcium isn't able to be absorbed as readily. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Always check with your healthcare provider if supplementing with any vitamins and minerals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Purified extracts of the European mistletoe plant have been used for decades outside of North America as a complementary treatment to support patients with cancer. The scientific data suggests that ingredients in this plant have anti-cancer properties, and when used correctly, can have a positive impact on immune system. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The proper extract uses purified solution from the leaves of the plant. This is important because oral use of the berries is toxic and should be avoided. Administration is by injection, either under the skin or intravenously. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mistletoe has a large volume of human clinical trial research which shows it is safe, and can help cancer patients with quality of life markers such as improved energy, wellbeing, mood, and pain levels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Currently, the cancer centre at Johns Hopkins University is concluding its Phase I clinical trial on intravenous mistletoe in patients with solid tumours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our naturopathic doctors have been using mistletoe extract with patients for almost 15 years. If you would like to know more, please contact the clinic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can be extremely distressing to those experience it. There are certain chemotherapeutic drugs that have a higher chance of causing CIPN but even in this population, it's hard to predict why someone might get it. Not only is there a lack of predictive factors, when someone does start to get CIPN, it can be difficult to manage because there are no specific medications that are used for this purpose. Unfortunately, if CIPN becomes debilitating, the only option for many is a dose reduction or stopping chemotherapy altogether. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, one of the modalities that have been shown to help reduce severity of CIPN is acupuncture. Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles at certain locations on the body (acupoints). There is growing research to suggest acupuncture is beneficial for reducing severity and preventing progression of CIPN. One of the benefits of using acupuncture is the lack of interactions with medication and chemotherapy so many of our patients can do both acupuncture and continue chemotherapy at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you know how old your heart is? (P.S. It's NOT the same as your age!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heart age is a way to understand your risk of getting a heart attack or stroke. This calculation is based on well-studied risk factors that contribute to heart (and overall cardiovascular) health such as smoking status, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, physical activity etc. A younger heart age means there is a lower risk of heart disease whereas a higher heart age means higher risk of heart disease. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not surprisingly, many Canadians have a heart age thats older than their actual age. Curious about your heart age and what you can do to lower it? Reach out to one of your naturopathic doctors today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
