Vitamin D has made the news this year and for good reason. It is such an important nutrient that actually acts like more like a hormone in our body. Here are just a few of the important benefits: promotes healthy bones and teeth... supports immune, brain, and nervous system health regulates insulin levels and supports diabetes management supports lung function and cardiovascular health influences the expression of genes involved in chronic disease development It’s important to know where your levels are at before supplementing and I rarely see a Canadian patient in the right range. Sometimes a Vitamin D injection can help boost your levels to the optimal range! #immunesupport #vitaminD #naturopathicmedicine #healthcare #discovercloverdale #familyhealth #surreybc #askdrpam

I love Halloween and typically we ask all our little patients to stop by the clinic for a healthy trick or treat. In lieu of that this year, I’d love to see everyone’s costumes virtually this year in the comments below! The Nest Family Wellness

It can be hard to differentiate between all of the symptoms different viruses can cause. This is an interesting chart to help out

Magnesium is one of my favorite nutrients as there are so many benefits this important mineral has, see below for more info from Dr Aviva Romm, MD. The empty container is also a fun toy to play with #Repost @avivaromm Magnesium is one of the supplements I most frequently recommend in my medical practice. Why? Because it does so much in our bodies - it is involved in over 300 reactions in which it serves as a co-enyzme, meaning the reaction can't happen without magnesi...um as a partner - and it hits a lot of the symptoms women commonly experience: Anxiety Sleep troubles Constipation Migraines Menstrual cramps Menopausal symptoms And yet many women just aren't getting enough of it through our diets. Magnesium also plays a major role in relaxation - which is why I think of it as a self-care supplement. It keeps the nervous system nourished, supports adrenal function, and it relaxes you mind and spirit making you more able to handle stress and get better sleep. It also relaxes smooth muscle, easing cramps. We’re living in a time where the need for mental and physical self-care is heightened, yet the time, space, and resources to do so are limited, so I encourage you to seek support where you can.

Happy Friday!! The air quality is horrible today which can make us feel rundown and unwell. Ensure to do all the things we know can help our immune systems and overall health: get to bed at a reasonable time, focus on whole foods, and stay hydrated. If you have breathing difficulties then stay indoors. Basic advice but it can make a difference! #healthyliving #backtobasics #selfcare #cloverdale #naturopathicmedicine #askdrpam
