I realize I haven’t posted any material since my son met me in Quebec, first in Montreal for a delicious dinner and then on to Quebec City for a rural medicine conference. As we age priorities change. Time becomes a precious commodity and given that he just returned home from cooking in Indonesia and now is off to Kyoto Japan, my choice was to spend as much of my free time with him! The conference was great. I was invited to be on an emergency medicine podcast , learned some new information , but continued to be disappointed in the presentation of BHRT as a “ marketing” modality.
The next hormone I was going to discuss was Insulin. Very timely since I have been eating all of his delicious food, including the baking and have strayed purposefully from my usual at home vegan , no sugar meals! This comes at the cost of weight gain and we shall see how it has influenced my biomarkers… stay tuned! It has inspired me to share my routine for losing weight during menopause. I will begin that series next week! See you then 😊

Maintaining in the “sweet spot “ is so important to health and . Here on Chestermans’ Beach in Tofino, BC , I discuss why it is so important to achieve . Why are so driven and falsely valued for what we do, rather than how we achieve balance in our personal, work, and ecological lives. Give yourself a mini-time out in nature and experience the natural settling of cortisol levels and increased heart rate variability.

Attending the Rural and Remote Medicine Conference in Quebec City. Fruitful conversations with Canadas’ Minister of Health, Honourable Marjorie Michel on access to primary care in Canada. Amazing multi-national study on greatest single reduction in mortality is long-term attachment to a primary care physician, including decreased ER visits and hospital admissions.
