Today we remember. 🕯️

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, a day to honour the babies who were gone too soon, and the families who carry them in their hearts.

Whether your loss was recent or years ago, whether you've shared it with others or carried it quietly, your baby mattered and your grief matters. You are not alone.

If you're grieving today, be gentle with yourself. There's no right way to remember, and no timeline for grief.

💜💙

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Juniper Family Health! 🍁

We're grateful for this community, and for every patient who trusts us with their care.
If you want your holiday meal to feel as good tomorrow as it does tonight, here are four easy, gut-friendly ideas:

🥕 Pile on plant variety. Every different vegetable, bean, grain, and herb feeds different gut bacteria.

🥬 Add something fermented, like sauerkraut, kimchi, or a spoonful of yogurt.

🍽️ Slow down. Chewing well is the first step of digestion.

🚶 Take a 10-minute walk after dinner. Light movement after a meal helps steady blood sugar.

And please, enjoy the pie. Food is also about connection and tradition. 🥧

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, so let's talk about something we see all the time in clinic: burnout. 💚

Stress and burnout often get lumped together, but they feel different. Stress tends to feel like too much: too many demands, a mind that won't switch off. Burnout feels like not enough: not enough energy, motivation, or care left to give.

Both show up in the body too. Poor sleep, frequent colds, headaches, digestive changes, and that 3 p.m. crash can all be part of the picture.

Recovery rarely comes from one big change. It comes from small, steady ones: regular meals, a consistent wake time, daylight, one boundary, and honest conversations.

Our naturopathic doctors support patients with stress, burnout, and mood as part of whole-person care, alongside your GP, counsellor, or other supports.

If you're in crisis or thinking about su***de, call or text 9-8-8, available 24/7 across Canada.

Send this to someone who's been running on empty. 🫶

Here's something most Victorians don't realize: from about now until March, the sun is too low in the sky for your skin to make much vitamin D. ☀️

It's not about the clouds (though we have plenty). It's about the angle. At 48° north, the UVB rays your skin needs to make vitamin D are mostly filtered out by the atmosphere through fall and winter.

Vitamin D supports bone health, muscle function, and your immune system, so October is a good time to think about it.

A few things to keep in mind:
→ Fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified milk or plant beverages help, but rarely cover a whole winter

→ More isn't better. Vitamin D can build up in the body, so your dose should fit your levels and health history

Curious where you're at? Ask your naturopathic doctor whether testing is a good idea for you. Book through the link in bio or call 778-265-8340.

💾 Save this for your fall health checklist, and send it to the friend who swears their Saturday walk is enough sun.

You know the one.

- I’m exhausted, but it’s probably just busy season
- My digestion has been weird for months, but I’m used to it
- My period has changed, but I’ll keep an eye on it
- I’m waking up tired even after sleeping
- My skin is doing something new and I have no idea why
- I keep saying I’ll deal with it when things calm down

And then… things never really calm down.

You don’t have to wait until something becomes impossible to ignore before you ask for support.

Sometimes the best time to look into something is when you first notice that something feels different.

If you’ve been saying “I’m fine” while knowing something feels off, consider this your sign to book the appointment. 🌿

Save this post for later — or send it to the friend who says “I’m fine” a little too often.

One thing we wish you knew about naturopathic medicine 🌿

We asked our Juniper NDs the same question — and got a few different answers 👀.

Follow along to hear them all!

MEET DR. PREET KHANGURA, ND 👋

If you’ve been around Juniper for a while, you’ve probably heard the name Dr. Preet Khangura come up — especially if gut health is your thing.

He’s spent years diving deep into gastrointestinal health, SIBO, chronic urinary tract infections, autoimmunity and hormone health — and has become a go-to educator for other healthcare practitioners in these areas.

In fact, he’s taught hundreds of doctors across North America about SIBO, gastrointestinal disorders and chronic UTIs. So when we say he REALLY likes talking about gut health… we mean it. 👀

But what we love about Dr. Preet’s approach is that he doesn’t just look at one symptom and call it a day. He’s interested in the connections — how the gut, immune system and hormones can all influence one another — and helping patients understand what might be going on beneath the surface.

Fun fact: before becoming an ND, Dr. Preet studied physics at UVic. So you could say he’s always been interested in figuring out how things work. 🔬

When he’s not educating other practitioners or digging into complex cases, you’ll find him bringing that same curiosity and problem-solving mindset to his patients.
Interested in working with Dr. Preet? He is currently offering appointments by telephone, and you can book through the link in our bio.

Your period isn’t just something you have to put up with every month.
It can give you information about what’s happening in your body.

Changes in your cycle length, bleeding, cramps, PMS, mood, energy or other symptoms can be worth paying attention to — especially when they’re new or different for you.

That doesn’t mean every period needs to be “fixed.”

It means your symptoms deserve to be listened to.

At Juniper, we’re interested in the whole picture — not just whether your cycle technically falls within a “normal” range.

Because feeling like something is off is information, too. 🤍

If your cycle has been feeling different lately, book with one of our practitioners to talk through what’s going on.

Save this for your next period check-in or share it with someone who needs the reminder.
