This is amazing!!

In light of the current distancing guidelines, and to protect the safety of our patients, our practitioners, and employees, we have made the decision to move all appointments to virtual telemedicine appointments (online or over the phone) until further notice. We will be in touch with you regarding your appointment. For now, all IV therapy and injection visits will be rescheduled to a later date. Your health is important to us, and we are here to continue to support you and... your well-being through this. For product refills, you can use our online dispensary through Fullscript. Either call and leave us a message or send an email to [email protected] and we will get this set up for you. -The Team @ Bedford Naturopathic

For any fellow pregnant or breastfeeding mamas out there!

While the risk of contracting COVID-19 in NS is low, we wanted to remind everyone if you develop a cough, fever, or difficulty breathing, to be in contact with 811 and avoid doing your visit in person. We would be happy to do your consultation over the phone or reschedule to a later date. We see a wide range of patients here at the clinic, young and old, and some with compromised immune systems. Let’s all do our part to prevent the spread of infection.

IV Therapy Did you know the administration of IV nutrients can be a supportive addition to various treatment plans? Which nutrients can be administered? This can vary based on the individual and their health concerns, but some common ones are Vitamin C, B12, B6, B5, B complex, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and manganese.... How long does it take? Typical drips take 30-40 minutes. Did you know we have a greater need for specific nutrients when under high levels of stress? IV therapy can be a great additional boost to your energy, immune system, or mood, and can be tailored on an individual basis. Contact us for more info! See more

So you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS now what the heck do you do? PCOS can present differently in different people, so there is no one size fits all solution, but in general we need to start at the base of the pyramid and work up! 1Nutrition: Focus on a diet that is anti-inflammatory, helps build a strong gut, and balance your blood sugars. ... 2Exercise: find something that you enjoy doing, and mix it up! Include cardio, stretching, and resistance training. 3Work on your sleep hygiene to make sure you are getting enough quality sleep. 4Once you have worked on all the other aspects of the pyramid, work with your health care provider to discuss what supplements, if any, may be beneficial to you. It’s important to also tackle the root causes of your stress, and work on your mindset. Focus on taking things one day, and one step, at a time! Instead of getting overwhelmed, try to focus on one small thing you can do today. Want to learn more? Schedule an appointment, or come to our PCOS 101 workshop on March 5th at 7pm! Details in previous post. -@rachelhiltsnutrition Call or email the clinic to reserve a spot in the PCOS 101 workshop, or to make an appointment. 902-835-4907 [email protected] See more

Did you know that February is Heart Health Month? Heart disease affects approximately 2.4million Canadians, but our risk of developing cardiovascular diseases can be reduced through healthy lifestyle choices. Fill your plate with a variety of nutrient dense foods: eat more veggies and fruit, whole grains, legumes (beans and lentils), and fatty fish.... Get moving! Regular physical activity may help lower blood pressure and reduce stress. Find an activity that you enjoy. Find more healthy ways to help manage stress.
