"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about."

Think lyme disease doesn't exist? Unfortunately it does, and there are many people out there suffering that shouldn't be due to the lack of awareness and proper care throughout the medical community. Dr. Hawkins does a great job explaining what's really going on, and I encourage you to educate yourself:)

Were you first diagnosed with IBS instead of CD? You're not alone. See bit.ly/2HaZyMf. #irritablebowelsyndrome #celiacdisease #ibs #cd #misdiagnosis

Heard about the new study on eggs? This is a great review on why it should be taken with a grain of salt... enjoy eggs, but choose free-range varieties (poached and hardboiled best) and complement with greens, fruit and whole grains/legumes for a nutrient dense breakfast. https://abbylangernutrition.com/whats-the-real-story-behi/

New EWG food list for produce with the most ("dirty dozen") and least ("clean 15") pesticides. Unfortunately kale made the list this year. Choose organic/unsprayed options when buying from the dirty dozen list, and for a little savings try planting kale, tomatoes and spinach in your backyard or patio this year - all very easy to grow! https://www.ewg.org//just-released-ewg-s-2019-shopper-s-gu

Long overdue practice announcement! As of January this year, I have made a few changes for the better. Instead of juggling my time between two clinics I decided to focus on one, and make room for other endeavours! I am practicing out of Lansdowne Naturopathic Centre with my amazing colleagues Dr. Maria Boorman and Dr. Amelia Patillo, ND.
