A Monday in-clinic perk is getting to hang out with our clinic mascot miss Ginger!! Sorry if we were a little slow on our response time today, Ginger is a little new to this whole sending emails thing #therapypuppy #somersethwc #officedog

Ok, I like to think I'm pretty great at helping people clear out their poop and have a healthy colon....but this celery juice promises A LOT! Ooh La La! Look how satisfied everyone looks!! ... So celery is an extremely high fodmap food, basically just looking at it will give you diarrhea if you have hydrogen dominant SIBO! So please don't try this at home my SIBO friends! @9gag @chrisoulafotografy #sibosisterhood #sibosurvivor #reposted #colonhealth #ndmemes #mindyourgut #ottawanaturopath #celery #inyourmouthnotyourbutt

This has been an amazing few days hanging out with my amazing naturopathic colleagues in our beautiful clinic in downtown Ottawa @somersethwc listening and getting inspired by #IMPACTLIVES2020 Fave quotes so far: "We overestimate what we do and underestimate what we eat"... "There is no resilience without growth" "When people are well they can change the world" "We connect through play" J.J. Virgin "Health is a skill" James Maskell

Have a listen to Dr. Kandis Lock, ND's conversation with the amazing Dr. Kristy Lewis, ND on connecting to ourselves to understand and know what our bodies need to heal. https://fb.watch/1PLyQws7yg/

Another Friday the 13th in 2020.... phew... we made it through! How did everyone do?

Are you a spiralizer? Is it just me or do veggies taste better when they are spiralized?? This carrot salad my little guy is munching on is so easy to make! And is IBS and SIBO/IMO friendly (he went on to eat the entire bowl...which infuriated his sis) #siblingrivalry ... Anyhoo here's how to make it: Mix spiralized + mayo + juice + salt and pepper. If well tolerated, you can add a bit of chopped apple for sweetness (this will increase the #fodmap content) Getting your kids (and yourself) to eat veggies can be challenging at the best of times - but even more so when you or your little one needs to follow a #lowfodmap diet! Be creative and have fun with it. Got any easy #lowfodmap #veggiemeals you can share?

Yuppers, that's right. The one and only @drkristylewis is not only my ND colleague but also my BFF. Whoo hoo for me!! So when your best friend is a boss podcast host, guess what? Ya get invited to talk on her podcast! Whoo hoo for me x 2!! In case you have been living under a rock, @drkristylewisnd is the host and creator of the most helpful and informative podcast for patients wanting to live a #healthylifestyle. In this episode you get to hear my take on why I p...rescribe certain diets to my patients. And why we drink vodka. With my passion being #SIBO and #IBS - the low fodmap diet is one that many of my patients benefit from. But it can be so challenging to follow! We discuss how to help patients navigate these challenges and how as an ND I meet my patient where they are at. If you have contemplated #ketodiet or #candidadiet or #lowfodmapdiet have a listen before you start it! This convo is pretty much exactly what Dr. Kristy and I talk about when we are sitting around her kitchen table - so I hope you enjoy this sneak peak into our hilarious banter and enjoy #nerdingout with us! Listen here: https://anchor.fm//Meet-Dr--Jennifer-Luck-ND-Therapeautic- #repost @drkristylewisnd In this episode, we take a deep dive into how Jenn uses nutrition to support gut recovery. We discuss the often misused and misunderstood topic of the therapeutic diet and the role it plays in treatment. Dr. Luck offers incredible insight and inspiration as she breaks down optimal ways to access a therapeutic diet in your day to day life. Jenn is super fun and along with her over a decade of experience brings joy and laughter to her patients, her practice and this conversation! #SIBO #somersethealthandwellness #digestivehealth #sibosisterhood #guttotheroot #FODMAP #ottawaND #ottawaliving #ottawahealth #naturopath #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathottawa #naturopathicmedicine #lifestylemedicine #naturopathy #lifestylepodcast #naturopathpodcast #healthfirst #healthfacts #healthforlife #wellnessadvocate #balancedlifestyle See more

Afraid to eat? If lettuce and chicken seem like the only foods that don't make you bloated and gassy you may want to look into SIBO as a cause of your IBS. Many of my patients say to me "I just don't know what to eat anymore! It seems like everything makes me sick" ... Oh fermentation!!! Why ya gotta be so painful??!! Good news is you can get tested for SIBO and it can be treated...so you can start eating food once again without fear.
