What does good health mean to you? Health information on social media and well-stagram is rampant and can really impact how we view health. So much so, that someone elses definition of good health can easily become yours Truth be told, there is no one definition of what good health really is.... For someone it might be lowered cholesterol numbers, for someone else it might be running a marathon, and yet for the next person, it might be waking up pain-free Whatever your definition of good health is, keep putting that daily effort in. Your goals and idea of health is valid and I see you! #health #wellness #progress #effort #healthyhabits #diet #exercise #sleep #meditation #relax #naturopathicmedicine #functionalmedicine #sportsmedicine #southvannd

What types of treatments can you expect from a naturopathic medicine visit? One of the tools @dreshasingh may use is cupping! . . . Cupping is a simple, yet e...ffective form of therapy for many types of muscular pain. The Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences found that cupping therapy was more effective in treating pain compared to medicine-only, because not only did it relieve symptoms, but also addressed the underlying cause of pain (e.g. injury, tightness, or adhesions) . . . While it may not look sightly, the benefits are numerous. Give cupping a try and see for yourself! . . . Also note that our naturopathic doctor and our acupuncturists are able to perform cupping as part of their treatment . . . Book online for an acupuncture visit or a naturopathic medicine visit, your extended benefits plan likely covers one or both! . . . @erica.djalovic of @dreshasingh See more

Curious to try acupuncture? It may look scary, but trying this modality of treatment has numerous benefits if done regularly: . . More balance and awareness to... the body . . Release blockages in Qi . . Improve circulation . . Decrease inflammation . . Decrease pain . . Reduced tension and anxiety . . Better sleep . . . Acupuncture is a treatment that our naturopathic doctor @dreshasingh and both our acupuncturists @ryanjaw_acu and Kaiden perform . . .

There is a LOT of information out there! Please read information critically and make sure it is from a reputable source. If you arent quite sure about the quality of what you are reading, ask someone who might have a better idea

Its been a lot warmer these days, so if you are out there enjoying the outdoors, make sure you stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes replenished Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate) are minerals that have an electrical charge when dissolved in liquid. They are essential regulating nerve and muscle function, as well as acid-base balance and water balance. On hot days, especially when active, you can lose a lot of electrolytes through sweat. This... can cause headaches, confusion, muscle cramps, and in extreme cases seizures and coma If you are going out for a long day, pack electrolyte-rich snacks or a replenishing drink: coconut water bananas watermelon avocado oranges chocolate milk For a simple, electrolyte recipe, jump on the recipe section on my website.

One of the best parts of summer is the abundance of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs that we have around us Before recommending any supplement, I like to make sure that my patients are taking advantage of the benefits of fresh, whole foods. The synergy of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients is what the magic of nutrition is all about!

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

Your ability to smell shuts down during REM sleep Any smell that would normally get your attention does nada during sleep The interesting thing is, you CAN dream about scents when you sleep, but that is because the memory of the smell is in your subconscious ... Aaaand that is why the saying is, wake up and smell the coffee, not smell the coffee and wake up

There is no denying that I love turmeric . It is one of the most powerful ingredients that can be found in your kitchen. Countless studies have demonstrated that curcumin, a polyphenol found in turmeric, can help with the management of:... Oxidative and inflammatory conditions Metabolic syndrome Arthritis Anxiety Hyperlipidemia The addition of turmeric to an athletes diet can lessen muscle soreness and the effects of inflammation as a result of exercise Turmeric, while having been boasted as a superfood, on its own has limited bioavailability due to rapid metabolism/elimination, and poor absorption. The combination of piperine (an active component of black pepper) and turmeric can increase the bioavailability by 2000% Reference: Hewlings SJ, Kalman DS. Curcumin: A Review of Its' Effects on Human Health. Foods. 2017;6(10):92. Published 2017 Oct 22. doi:10.3390/foods6100092
