Imagine you could be part of raising $40,000 a year for charity in 4 hours flat? 100 Women Who Care (east Toronto) meet once per quarter for an hour with the hopes of raising $10,000 at each meeting for a selected charity. Each participant donates $100 and the group votes on which charity will receive the donation. ... How incredible is that???? Tomorrow’s charitable candidates are: @moontimesisters - an organization who collects menstrual items for Northern Ontario Communities so women & girls don’t have to miss school or work. @feedscarborough - Scarborough Food Security Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to improving access to food for those in our community @sheltermovers - a Canadian, volunteer-powered charity that provides free moving and storage for women & children fleeing abuse I’m honoured to be the guest speaker at tomorrow evening’s meeting. I’ll be giving my top 10 tips to flatten your own curve and support your immune system. There are two door prizes, including an Immune Product Bundle valued at $100 compliments of @thebigcarrot and @genestrabrandsca Fresh faces are always welcome. DM me and I’ll send you the zoom link to join. 7-8pm Tuesday December 15th.

True health, in mind, body and soul, comes from habits practiced day in and day out that are steeped in the fundamental pillars of health appropriate movement, adequate rest and good nutrition. Add a healthy dose of community, fresh air, and gratitude and you have a strong foundation upon which to build your health, and an amazing life. Moving beyond the fundamentals usually requires guidance to help you strategize where the gaps need filling and which systems need support,... and how to apply a plan in step-wise manner. Consider working with #naturopathicdoctor or #functionalmedicine practitioner who can offer in depth testing and looks at your system as a whole, not just a collection of symptoms. Someone who offers a proactive model of care, vs reactive medicine. Someone who truly listens and sees you as a person, not a number. It’s up to you. Will you be your own best friend when it comes to your health? #womenshealth #naturopathicmedicine #perimenopause #hormoneimbalance #holistichealth #wellness #hormonehealth #hormones #midlifewomen #healthylifestyle #womenover40 #nutrition #boymom #endometriosis #menopausesupport #selfcare #hormonebalance #mood #takecontrol #yougotthis #anxietyhelp #PCOSsupport #PMDDsupport #PMDD #PMS #pmssupport

Back when yoga was a regular thing in my life, sometimes our instructor would have us do a series of higher intensity poses, get us sweating and breathing hard, and then throw us into savasana (corpse pose, where you lay flat on the mat, close your eyes and be totally still). She would explain that’s it’s practice for life, off the mat, when life is go go go and when you get a moment of pause you make the most of it, settle your nervous system, and have a micro-moment of reco...very. For the next hour I’ll have a quiet house. I’m in the bath, will put my phone down, close my eyes, maybe read my book, and will have a nice little savasana before the kids come home and circus resumes. ~ Dr Shivaune How do you practice savasana? #micromoments #pause #deepbreath #selfcare #savasana #yogaforlife #yogi #yoga #slowdown #grateful #motherof3boys #burnout #HPAaxisdysfunction #adrenals #adrenalhealth #stressmanagement #functionalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #womenshealth

Want to watch Dr Shivaune do yoga really fast? Remember I posted on Monday about motivation? I found myself in a similar position today...I had on my workout gear, had carved off the time in my schedule but the rain and cold outside left me disinclined to do an outdoor workout. I dropped the kids off at school...made myself some coffee and settled in at my desk...I ALMOST bailed completely and remembered my dear friend @emilymorwen co-owner and co-founder of @modoyogaLA h...as a library of amazing yoga classes on IGTV and I thought that was just the thing that I needed today...and sure enough I found a sweet little 45 min number led my Em herself. Nothing too intense, but nice gentle stretchy movement and little sweat... Bliss. I didn't want to move but I did, and you may notice a sweet little smile coming across my face about halfway through the video. It felt so good to move, once I got moving. I know next week the stars may not align, my schedule may be more full, and my motivation might be completely in the toilet. So today I moved. And I'm so happy I did. #fitmama #motivation #feelgood #restorativeexercise #goslow #pmsproblems #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #hormonehealth #hormones #hormoneimbalance #fatigue #pacing #feelbetter #menopause #takecareofyourself #selfcare #selflove #compassion #rest #goslow #takeiteasy #heal #hotflashes #yogi #estrogen #cognitivehealth #prevention #womenshealth #healthywomen
