Amelanchier alnifolia, otherwise known as Saskatoon berries. Not only are they delicious and high in fibre but the most valuable components in Saskatoon berries are the polyphenols, which function as potent antioxidants and antiaging substances. Modern studies have shown that these phenols have beneficial health effects by reducing age-associated oxidative stress and possessing anti-inflammatory properties. Happy picking!

This is Prairie gumweed. These little curly cups are so sticky!

High blood pressure? High cholesterol? Addicted to sweets? Did you know that the American Heart Association estimates we eat 22-30 teaspoons of sugar per day? Refined sugar hides in common household foods such as breakfast cereal, yogurt, granola bars, protein powders, salad dressings, ketchup, and other condiments. The Centre for Natural Medicines own Dr. Leanne Florence, ND was recently featured on CTV Morning Live discussing sugar as it fuels inflammation and chronic dis...ease. As we reach the end of heart month, Dr. Florence would like to challenge you to lower your risk for cardiovascular disease by cutting your consumption of added sugars in half - starting tomorrow! All of the doctors at the Centre for Natural Medicine run specialized lab work providing a more comprehensive risk assessment for heart disease and diabetes than the standard cholesterol panel. Test results are reviewed in detail and a personalized, holistic treatment plan is provided to help you achieve your health goals.

A beautiful fresh young face. This photo reminds me of my 3 year old daughter- huge eyes, full cheeks, long lashes, naturally pouty red lips. One day she will ask me about skincare and makeup and I can teach her about reducing her risks for disease by choosing wisely. Personally, I am committed to keeping toxins out of my bodycare and makeup. In practice I strive to educate men and women of ALL ages about anti-aging strategies and prevention of disease. Thats a tall orde...r, as all want to appear healthy and often more youthful, and are shown ads for skincare products that can be helpful but harmful. Many anti-aging skin care products are CARCINOGENIC (Parabens, & potentially anything from petroleum, which includes MANY coded ingredients), CAUSE SKIN TO AGE (Polyethylene glycols or PEG- anything), IRRITATE (Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate)), BLOCK PORES, AFFECT HORMONES AND FERTILITY! It is up to you to learn more and choose what is right for you for anti-aging strategies including skincare, but I can assist you! Our clinic also offers natural anti-aging programs such as Cosmetic Acupuncture Face Lifting and Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) Facial Rejuvenation as well as for Hair Loss. These treatments are so cool and have few to rare side effects!!! Learn more about our services: http://naturalmedicine.mb.ca/treatment-services/index.cfm

Dr. Amy Kroeker, ND shares info on hypothyroid symptoms. Check it out!

In my practice, Ive seen numerous causes contributing to hypothyroidism, however, there are 4 main causes that seem to play a role in most cases I see: . 1Exp...osure to environmental toxins Things such as pesticides, heavy metals, BPA, & other environmental toxins can mimic & act like other hormones in your body which disrupt correct thyroid hormone function. . 2Stress Stress & your thyroid have an intimate connection. The more stress you have, the worse your thyroid will perform. . 3Food sensitivities Food sensitivity reactions often dont have an immediate response like a food allergy. Rather they add extra low-grade stress and inflammation that affects your whole body, potentially including your thyroid. . 4Nutrient deficiencies Deficiencies such as iodine, omega-3, vitamin D, zinc, and selenium all play an integral role in proper thyroid function. Being low or deficient in any of these can potentially lead to your thyroid underperforming. . Questions about low-thyroid? Let me know in the comments below See more

Naturopathic care in hospitals. When I (Dr. Amy Kroeker, ND) worked in Toronto, I worked in the first naturopathic clinic in Canada to be located within a hospital (The Brampton Civic Naturopathic Clinic). Its exciting when I see team-based collaborative care becoming more widely accepted. Its leading to better patient care and improved health outcomes. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com//role-naturopathic-
