Dr. Mary MacDonald, Naturopathic Doctor
165 Charlotte Street South L3Y 3S7 Newmarket, ON, Canada

I want to send a sincere thank you to the wonderful people who voted me Best Naturopathic Doctor and Best Naturopathic Clinic in the Newmarket Era Banner Reader's Choice Awards 2020! Your support means so much to me and I will continue to work my hardest to live up to, and hopefully, exceed, your expectations!

I’ve had many conversations with patients about their increased vivid dreams. This signals a decreased amount of restful sleep, which can then create an ongoing cycle of worsening daytime fatigue and anxiety. If you would like to discuss individualized treatment recommendations concerning your physical and mental health please contact me and we can schedule a virtual or phone visit. Stay safe and be well

My awesome virtual bookclub

Some great information from the Harvard School of Public Health on talking with children about this pandemic. "Our challenge, as parents, is to consider all the information around us and then ask ourselves: What makes the most sense for my child? Validate your child’s feelings and unique concerns, and support positive coping activities (e.g. going for a hike, reading or playing together). Attending to your child’s emotional experience lets them know that they are not alone with their worries."

I am here if you need any health related advice in this time. I am available for phone consults to my existing patients and would love to help you through this. I have extended my hours to help so please email me at [email protected] if you want to book in.

Do not take ibuprofen if you have COVID-19 symptoms. If you symptoms unrelated to COVID-19 and you are not infected but usually use ibuprofen please contact your trusted health care practitioner for recommendations.

Good information!

I am honoured to be nominated for a Reader's Choice award in the Newmarket Era - if you could take a moment to vote I would be so grateful!

Exercise is, for most people, very healthy! It does help to balance mood, decrease stress, improve cardiovascular and blood sugar health, as well as many other positive things. But, it is not the key to losing weight. For more individualized recommendations for health weight loss, speak with your friendly neighborhood Naturopathic Doctor.

These are great vegan combination recommendations to ensure you are eating a healthy, whole protein diet. It's really not difficult to get all of your necessary amino acids from a vegan diet, as this post shows!
