A gentle weekend thought. If your week felt like a rollercoaster, try this tonight: feet flat on the floor, eyes resting on something you like looking at, one long breath out. Notice anything that shifts, even a little. We'll practise this together at my free workshop, Calm Body, Steady Energy, on Wednesday, Oct 14 at 7 pm ET on Zoom. Link in bio.

Many women tell me the 3 pm crash feels like a personal failing. I see two systems talking to each other: how your body uses energy from food, and a nervous system that's been working hard for a long time. On Wednesday, Oct 14 at 7 pm ET I'm hosting a free 45-minute workshop on Zoom about both, with a short guided practice for settling. Everyone who registers receives the recording. Link in bio.

It can start as early as your late 30's or early 40's.

Suddenly, you find yourself snappy, irritable and ready to bite someone's head off. Sleep isn't feeling as restorative and PMS symptoms seem to last the whole month.

Hot flashes happen here and there and your energy just isn't what it used to be.

Our transition into the hormonal changes that happen YEARS before menopause are not spoken about often but can have devastating consequences on our quality of life. The fact that we don't give this transition time it's full respect is a big part of the problem.

You may wonder what is wrong with you, why are you losing your temper or having such strange menstrual irregularities. When we aren't expecting or prepared for the transition of hormonal shifts, it can take you off guard and make you feel like it's just you who is suffering.

It's not.

After 15 years of treating women in my Naturopathic Practice, I have come to understand we all experience this transition and how much we suffer with it depends on 5 main factors.

Judy booked in to talk to us about her IBS symptoms. She complained about feeling bloated, uncomfortable and gassy most days. Her bowel movements were all over the map. Some days are hard to pass and other days very loose. She'd felt this way most of her adult life.

Our Naturopathic Doctor decided to run some specific tests to understand Judy's symptoms. They ordered a stool analysis which revealed high inflammation, yeast overgrowth and low levels of good bacteria. Blood work was done and Judy had a severe B12 and Vitamin D deficiency.

Since Judy noticed a connection between stress and her symptoms, her ND referred her to see a therapist and an energy healer. Herbal treatments, nutritional changes and supplementation was suggested to Judy and a 2-month follow-up appointment was booked.

When Rachel logged in for her Initial Consultation with her ND, she wasn't sure anything could help her. After explaining how she's been diagnosed with depression by her MD, her Naturopath asks her lots of questions to understand her full health picture and what may be contributing to her depression.

After looking at the lab work her MD originally ran, our ND also ordered thyroid and other hormone tests, and vitamin tests as well as explored inflammation. It turns out, that Rachel had a very underactive thyroid gland, insulin resistance as well as many nutrient deficiencies which may have been due to a lack of proper nutrition and digestion for many

Rachel's ND suggested she speak with her MD to properly treat her thyroid disorder and they put together a plan to help address the digestive system, nutrient deficiencies and insulin resistance. Nutrition changes, exercise and vitamin supplementation were part of the full plan.

I am so thankful to the amazing team at Healing House for delivering such quality care to our clients in 2021.

Ottawa Community Votes has given us a gold star this year and, as an entrepreneur, it’s akin to a pat on the back from your boss 😆.

I am very grateful for the clients who put their trust in us to witness their struggles, listen deeply and offer some solutions. It’s hard to reach out for help sometimes, especially when life is busy and it doesn’t feel like there’s time to take care of you.

This past year we’ve welcomed hundreds of new virtual clients and we’ve been honoured to support people though so many challenges. Infertility, anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic digestive issues, acne, autoimmune disorders and so much more.

We feel truly blessed to be a part of the Ottawa family and we want to say thank you for supporting a small business!!

❤️
