✨ Exciting news! Meet Jasmine McCarl, RN ✨

I’m so excited to welcome Jasmine McCarl, RN, to the practice! Jasmine will be working alongside me to provide Vitamin IV Therapy and cosmetic neuromodulator treatments.

A little about Jasmine: Hi, I’m Jasmine! My interest in preventative health and wellness has grown naturally through both my personal experiences and my work as a Registered Nurse.

My background in palliative and complex care has taught me the importance of truly listening to people, understanding what matters most to them, and creating a space where they feel comfortable and supported. I’ve always loved helping people feel their best — whether that’s through supporting their health, building confidence, or simply encouraging them to take time for themselves.

This passion led me to expand my nursing practice into wellness and aesthetic medicine through additional training in IV therapy and neuromodulator injections. My goal is to help patients feel and look their best, inside and out.

Jasmine completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of British Columbia, following her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from Queen’s University.

How it works: For Vitamin IV Therapy, each appointment will begin with a quick virtual consultation with Dr. Chichak, ND. Following your consultation, we’ll get you booked in with Jasmine for your IV appointment.

🗓️ Jasmine’s first shift is Saturday, September 26th, and appointments are expected to fill quickly, so be sure to book ahead!
I’m so excited to have Jasmine joining the practice and can’t wait for you to meet her.

🗓️Schedule check in! My calendar is now open for the remainder of the year. Just a reminder it is benefits season, so availability in November/December will be more limited than usual. I am also taking two weeks off around Christmas so please plan accordingly. Booking ahead is highly recommended, and utilize the wait list if the day you would like is full.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall weather has hit hard and I am leaning into warm, cozy foods for nourishment.

Fall is harvest time for most root vegetables- carrots, squash, yams. Not only are these foods in season meaning they are fresher and cheaper, many of us also crave them as the weather gets cooler.

As much as we laugh at the popularity of pumpkin spice, the concept actually has roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In TCM, fall is associated with spice. Eating foods heavier in spice this season will feed the body and help the transition into winter. Chinese medicine is also based on balancing the yin and the yang in the body, so colder autumn days are perfectly balanced by warmer, spicier, and heartier meals.

Here’s some of my favourites:
-Roasted butternut squash and apple soup
-Green curry with veggies and tofu
-Roasted yam & kale peanut stirfry
-Miso butternut squash ramen

All of the recipes can be found on my website 👩🏻‍🍳

☀️ It’s finally feeling like summer!
Every year, I hear people talk about putting their health on pause during these warmer months. And while I’m just as excited as anyone for patio season, here are a few simple things I do to stay feeling my best all summer long:
1. Prioritize movement. Beach lounging is great—but so are hiking, biking, swimming, paddleboarding, and pickleball. Whatever your vibe, aim to move your body daily!
2. Don’t forget electrolytes. Hot weather + activity + alcohol = higher risk of dehydration. If you’re sweating, add electrolytes to your water to help stay balanced.
3. Eat with the season. Summer produce is bursting with flavor and nutrients. Take advantage of fresh fruits and veggies—farmer’s markets are your best friend.
4. Be mindful with alcohol. Patio drinks are fun, but moderation matters. Try to plan a few alcohol-free days each week, and keep things balanced on the days you are sipping.
Let’s enjoy every minute of summer and feel great doing it! 🌞🍓🏖️

I’m always looking for ways to sneak a little extra protein into my day 💪 And when I’m on the go, protein bars are the easiest option.

But let’s be real—most store-bought bars are a letdown. Check the label and you’ll usually see syrup or sugar listed first.
 Not necessarily a bad thing—but let’s stop pretending they’re health food when they have as much sugar as a candy bar 🍫

If I’m hiking and need the sugar boost? Great.
 But if I’m at work or running errands and just need something filling with protein? I want something better.

That’s why I always come back to my homemade protein bars. ✅ Made with whole ingredients ✅ Easy to throw together ✅ Taste amazing ✅ Prepped, wrapped, and waiting in my freezer for grab-and-go days

I’ve been lucky to have done some great travelling over the last few months- here’s a few of my favorite spots. However, all the travel has been tough on my immune system. I’m currently employing all of my immune boosting tips, so here’s what my immune system reset looks like:
- Getting a ton of sleep- at least 8-10 hours per night
- So. Many. Liquids. Tea, electrolytes, green juices, smoothies, etc.
- Sweating- using my infrared sauna daily!
- Vitamin C- through both vitamin IV therapy and orally as well
- Increasing nutrient-rich foods (leafy green vegetables, salmon, yams, etc) and avoiding added sugars
