As I build my Naturopathic practice, there are always things to do but I'm beginning to learn that breaks are also IMPORTANT!
I'm learning to give myself permission to take those breaks to recharge and it has helped me be even more productive when I am working.

I have more energy, I'm thinking clearly, and I'm more present.

Don't forget to take breaks to recharge.
Give yourself permission to do so. It can often be just as important as the time you are working ❤️

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is sometimes nicknamed "Liquid Gold". PRP is made from the patient's own blood, that is spun down to separate the red blood cells from the white blood cells, platelets, stem cells, and fibrin content (plus many other growth factors).
This "liquid gold" can be injected into muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons after an injury, to help in the healing process. Injecting the PRP into the site of injury gives the body the necessary growth factors and immune cells that the injury needs to recover.

It can also be used for aesthetic purposes to promote hydration, collagen formation to give a youthful glow to the skin. When injected into the face, it is used to smooth out wrinkles, lines, under-eye bags, skin pigmentation issues and can also be used to give a natural plumping look to the cheeks for a youthful appearance.
It is also used for hair rejuvenation to help support the hair follicle to grow hair in an area that is starting to show hair thinning.

If you have questions about how this treatment works- please ask!!
I am happy to discuss this with anyone that wants to know more.

Cortisol= Our stress hormone.

There’s a large difference between the acute phase and exhaustion phase.

Your body can only withstand stress and high cortisol levels for a period of time before you experience the burn out.

These symptoms listed above are often associated with the gradual and steady progression of adrenal fatigue, leading to burn out or the exhaustion phase.

My treatment plan focuses on rebuilding your cortisol stores and refilling your gas tank so you can properly cope with and manage your stress levels in a productive manner without depleting your body doing so.

Insulin Resistance: I am seeing alot of patients in clinic with Insulin Resistance (or at least the beginnings of it)

It is easier to help prevent the progression of insulin resistance rather than having to treat the conditions it causes. Get a jump start on your health today!

Gut Microbiome: A strong gut microflora helps digest and absorb food, supports the immune system and acts as a "shield" that prevents harmful bacteria from penetrating into your intestinal cells.

The gut microbiome has an effect on weight management, brain and heart health, blood sugar regulation and digestive health

Ways to Improve your Gut Microbiome:
- Eat a diverse range of foods
- Eat fermented foods
- Limit artificial sweeteners
- Eat prebiotic foods
- Eat whole grains
- Eat a plant-based diet
- Take a probiotic supplement
- Limit food sensitivities
- Limit antibiotic use, and only use them when necessary

If you have questions about digestive health and your gut microbiome, I'd love to help!

Be careful out there. Steroid injection can decrease inflammation, but can also lead to further degeneration if not used as minimally as possible
