I would say that a large majority of my patients are doing intermittent fasting. A socially acceptable way to skip breakfast, but initial research showed great promise. What do you think of the latest research saying it may not be as beneficial as once thought?

We would like to introduce Dr. Edward Chan. He is a highly regarded Chiropractor and licensed acupuncturist with many years of experience. He believes that your chiropractic experience should be quality over quantity. He focuses on your needs for the entire session, monitoring, answering questions and providing health guidance. No room jumping or drive through treatments. Your care is customized for you and there won’t be any plans or packages. There are many different types of treatments and our chiropractor will respect your preferences, past experiences and fear or apprehension to provide you with a comfortable and personalized treatment session.

Dr. Debbie will be speaking in September at one of Ontario’s prestigious associations for naturopathic continuing education. She will be teaching other Naturopathic Doctors the best standard of practice for childhood mental health. The presentation has just been approved for category A credits! . #naturopathicdoctor #markhamnaturopath #continuingeducation #childrenmentalhealth #pediatrics #neverstoplearning

Higher insulin resistance is linked to higher incidences of breast cancer rate in postmenopausal women. A new study published June 2020 followed 22,837 women for around 20 years to determine their fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is the standard measurement for insulin resistance. From which, 1328 women developed breast cancer cases and breast cancer cases are higher in the group of women who have higher... HOMA-IR scores. Furthermore, higher HOMA-IR score women are at a higher risk of mortality after breast cancer than lower HOMA-IR score women who have had breast cancer. However, HOMA-IR score is NOT directly associated with mortality due to cancer. . . This is the reason why at Naturopathic Living, Dr. Wendy ND places an importance on finding your HOMA-IR scores through various bloodwork. This is also something we can control very easily through diet and lifestyle. High HOMA-IR scores can be mediated with supplementation in addition to lifestyle and diet changes. . . Dr. Wendy ND has a special interest in integrative cancer care where she supports people who have been diagnosed, undergoing treatment and post treatment to help them have better quality of life.

Yet another example of infection and the immune system contributing to a neurodegenerative disease. I feel so lucky that we now understand how infection causes an increase in the cytokines that seem to lead to these issues, and that yes, we can do something about it. Start early, take inflammation and the immune system seriously and protect yourself.

Canada and the world are in the grips of a mental health crisis that ruins health, threatens lives and hurts economies. That was taken directly from the CAMH website. It goes on to tell us that due to stigma and other issues, many people do not receive treatment, but the most galling point of all is that even that they do get help, so often it doesn’t help. Why, mental health is now dominated by psychotherapy and psychotropics, while thousands of papers show us it should be... dominated by immune modulators and anti-inflammatory. A review article published in 2019 entitled, immunoneuropsychiatry novel perspectives on brain disorders (Pape et al), shows us that the immune system is a key driver of neurological issues. From Autism, to anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and PANDAs the immune system plays a significant role. We have known this for a long time, but Although the knowledge of immune involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders has emerged over several years, necessary changes to the clinical management of patients with these disorders have scarcely been implemented. Join me this Thursday, May 14 at 2pm and let’s discuss how we got here, and how to fix it. https://us04web.zoom.us/j/3464529434 #anxiety #mentalhealth #BRAINHEALTH #entrepreneur #brainboss #depression #immunesystem #mentalhealthmyths #naturopathicdoctoro0Shake
