New recipe! Green Summer Salad August is one of my favourite months for the fresh produce available at the farmer’s market. The stalls are lined with summer squash, bundles of greens, vibrant beets, juicy tomatoes, and an abundance of herbs. Now’s the time to take advantage of the local produce. Head to @fareandflourish for this latest recipe! ... Veggies from @squarerootfarm #foodismedicine #yyjhealth #yyj #eatyourgreens #eatlocal #fibre #yyjnaturopath #nutrition #salads #supportlocal

Fibre Consuming adequate fibre in your diet is perhaps one of the simplest ways to improve both gut health and to support hormone metabolism in the gut (refer to my last post to learn why). The current recommendation is for individuals to consume between 25 38 grams of fibre per day dependent on their sex and age, and yet most Canadians are only getting about half that much.... For perspective, 1 cup of broccoli contains 5 grams of fibre, 1 apple contains 4.5 grams of fibre, 1 cup of oatmeal (instant) contains 5 grams of fibre, and 1 cup of cooked black beans contains 15 grams of fibre. One of my favourite fibre packed breakfasts is oatmeal loaded with chia seeds, nuts, seeds, almond butter, coconut and a handful of berries. I also love the seed loaf @fareandflourish What do you eat for fibre? #fibre #hormonehealth #estrogenmetabolism #guthealth #yyjhealth #yyjnaturopath #eatyourveggies #foodismedicine #breakfastbowl #seedloaf #eatyourfibre #yyjfood

Why Naturopathic and Functional Medicine? Iam often asked: What is naturopathic medicine? What is functional medicine? and ... How do they differ? Both naturopathic medicine and functional medicine are focused on understanding and treating the underlying cause of disease. They differ from the one-size-fits-all treatment approach, and are individualized and patient-centered. In many regards naturopathic and functional medicine are similar, and yet, there are some nuanced differences. To read more about the difference between naturopathic and functional medicine, click on the link in my bio. Why do I practice both naturopathic medicine and functional medicine? For me, functional medicine offered a model that I had been seeking to organize my naturopathic education. It is grounded in evidence-based research, understanding the whole person, and taking a proactive approach. It is a model I understand, and given my naturopathic training, one that resonates with me. In many regards, I feel like functional medicine exists at the intersection of our conventional medical approach and naturopathic medicine. It values gaining a thorough understanding of an individual’s concerns via history, a physical exam, and diagnostic testing, and it recognizes the importance of nutrition and lifestyle. Our communities are demanding integrative and patient-centered forms of health care ones that prioritize prevention, and promote health beyond the absence of disease. Utilizing both functional medicine and naturopathic medicine has allowed me to provide this type of care, and to integrate the best practices of both traditional and integrative medicine. #naturopathicmedicine #functionalmedicine #yyjhealth #yyjnaturopath #preventivemedicine #optimalhealth #rootcause #nutrition #rootcause
