We thought we would share some additional unseen footage of Georgie's "Delivery Service". Looks like Georgie really made her way around Valero Wellness and V apothecary Christmas is just around the corner and there's no time to waste on getting these deliveries out. And what better to inspire Georgie to power through than a Britney Spears 'girl power' anthem.... Also... can we just address Georgie's driving? Who taught her to drive???? We hope Dr. Meighan Valero, Naturopathic Doctor has some spare paint for those baseboards - looks like Georgie might need a few more lessons. Special thanks to Velvet Hammer Personal Training for lending Georgie this sweet ride #georgie #funwithgeorgie #outtakes #elfontheshelf #christmas #elf #elves #santa #xmas #christmastree #christmasdecor #christmastime #xmascountdown #elfonashelf #merrychristmas #christmascountdown #christmasiscoming #happyholidays #countdownchristmas #snow #december #santaclaus #winter #valerowellness #yqg #windsor #tecumseh #lakeshore

Luckily v apothecary has local delivery service on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2pm but look at these deliveries! ... December is always a busy season at the store and the orders are piling up!!! It looks as though after hours, Georgie has also been working hard to help Chris out with some of the deliveries to ensure they arrive to all of our patients on time. If only we knew for sure if Georgie could read... those are a lot of FRAGILE deliveries. Our apologizes to anyone who has received a damaged delivery (most likely on behalf of our "helpful" delivery assistant Georgie.

Posted @withregram @dr.oake.nd Digestion is important! One of the most underrated parts of the digestive tract is its mucus lining.... Yes, mucus sounds icky to talk about, but let’s break it down into very simple terms: The digestive tract is essentially a tube that runs through our entire body. This tube is lined with a layer of mucus that houses beneficial bacteria and is responsible for protecting our GI tract from gut contents. With a diminished or poorly formed mucus lining, we put ourselves at risk of poor nutrient absorption, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, inflammation, food sensitivities, and so on. Get your mucus nice and healthy by limiting processed foods & alcohol, eating a wide range of foods rather than consuming the same foods day in and day out, and reduce stress with relaxation techniques. Get your mucus right and your digestive system will thank you.

Posted @withregram @dr.oake.nd Periodize everything for maximal adaptations. Periodized training has been around for a long time.... If you need a quick refresher here it is: Periodized training is a long-term structure of physical training that looks to maximize certain aspects of performance around important competitions. In other words, planning different phases of training to peak at the correct time of your season. What is less commonly known is that you can (and should) periodize everything in regards to your fitness goals. Periodized nutrition involves eating certain macronutrient levels during specific phases of training. In essence, it’s all about carbohydrate availability; different availability leads to different adaptations. Periodized recovery means using different recovery strategies at different stages of training and competition. For example, using an ice bath during intense competition rather than intense training. It’s all about maximizing adaptations. To learn more about this fascinating part of sports medicine and how you can apply this personally, book an appointment with Dr. Oake ND: https://valerowellness.janeapp.com/ or Call 226.774.5888 #droake #yqg #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicsportsmedicine #sportsmedicine #performancemedicine #periodizedtraining #muscularadaptation #lakeshore #tecumseh #windsor #valerowellness

Cupping is an ancient treatment method, originating in China used for various internal diseases as well as muscular tension and pain relief. Traditional Chinese medicine uses cupping to clear blockages that may be causing disease, restoring the smooth flow of energy and therefore allows for healing. Cupping involves placing cups directly to the skin on selected areas to create suction. The suction helps to increase blood flow, pull toxins, ease pain and stimulate the immune... system. Cupping has been proven to assist with the following: Muscle tension/pain Arthritis Joint pain Respiratory disease Digestion Detoxification (systemic and/or can be used for more specific areas ie placing cups directly to area of the liver) Some skin conditions and scarring To book an appointment With Dr. Shana Dowdell, ND https://valerowellness.janeapp.com/ or Call 226.774.5888 #cupping #cuppingtherapy #massage #massagetherapy #acupuncture #health #sportsmassage #wellness #cuppingmassage #fitness #massagetherapist #selfcare #healing #wetcupping #detox #recovery #therapy #windsor #lakeshore #tecumseh #yqg #valerowellness

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay Mental health is a hot topic. This is good news. It means the stigma for mental health issues is slowly going away. Mental health issues are finally getting the attention they deserve. Some people are at a higher risk of getting a mental health disorder. These include those with high-stress levels, those who have experienced trauma, and those who have few healthy relationships. However, family history plays a role in higher risk factors, too.... Thanks to increased awareness and increased funding for research, there are effective treatment options for most cases of mental health disorders. If you know someone who struggles with a mental health disorder, World Mental Health Day is a great way to reach out to them. While many people don’t feel comfortable talking to others about their diagnosis, knowing they have someone to reach out to makes a real difference. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #anxiety #selflove #love #depression #motivation #health #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #mindfulness #healing #life #loveyourself #therapy #inspiration #mentalillness #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #mindset #recovery #wellbeing #windsor #lakeshore #ontario #yqg #valerowellness

ADHD Awareness Month is an opportunity for Canadians to learn more about the disorder; how it’s diagnosed, treated and even the positive effects. A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is a great person to discuss ADHD with because they focus on treating the whole personmind, body, and spirit.

It’s never enough to know that you need to treat high cholesterol; you must know how to implement the treatments. I think about this problem all the time. When you work with a lifestyle first paradigm like I do, knowing how to implement treatments is infinitely more important than knowing what to implement.

We know that sometimes it may seem impossible to get a good night’s sleep, but sleep is so important for overall health, cognitive function, and mood. @drshanadowdellnd has provided the following tips to help you try to get a better night’s rest. Posted @withregram @drshanadowdellnd... Aren’t we all a little tired? Getting back into the swing of things. Making lunches, getting the kiddos up, getting to work on time. The tiredness might set in pretty quickly. Take steps to prevent that daytime fatigue. Start with the most obvious.. good sleep! Sleep is so important for overall health, cognitive functioning, and mood. A few tips for you! 1. Sleep hygiene is so important. This means to have a regular and consistent routine before bed. Start getting ready at the same time each night, no electronics before bed, sleep in a dark room, comfortable temperature. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise in the evening close to bedtime. Try yoga or some calming meditation instead. 3. Avoid daytime napping. 4. Avoid caffeine at least 4 hours before If the simple bedtime routines aren't helping there may be more at play. Thyroid abnormalities, adrenal fatigue and mental/emotional causes to name a few. Seek guidance before trying any supplements.
