#FoodieFriday Warm up with this tasty recipe from our signature Metabolic Reset Program! Curry Chicken Soup Curry chicken is simple to make and has a big flavour payoff. Look for red curry paste in the international aisle of your grocery store and be sure to check the label to avoid added fat or sugar. Refrigerate it after opening. Don’t skip out on the black pepper in this recipe! It contains a power compound called Piperine that boosts the absorption of many of the healing ...spices. 4 ounces cubed boneless skinless chicken breast 1 teaspoon red curry paste or powdered yellow curry 1 garlic clove, minced 14 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon pepper 4 cups chicken broth 4 ounces broccoli florets (about 2 cups) 14 red onion, thinly sliced 2 cups baby spinach 2 tablespoon cilantro sprigs 2 lime wedges Place the chicken in small bowl along with the curry paste or powder, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Place the broth, broccoli, and red onion in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to simmer. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften. Add the chicken and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, increasing the heat to high. Turn the heat off and cover 10 minutes to allow the residual heat to finish cooking the chicken. Do not continue to boil, otherwise the chicken will be very tough. Garnish with cilantro and lime and serve immediately. #resetrestoreradiate #kitchenerwaterloo #kwawesome #drk #weightloss #weightlossmotivation #functionalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #preventativemedicine #integrativemedicine #fmuptown #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthiswealth #healthyeating #wholefoods #cleanfood #cleanfoodcrush #stressresilience #positivemindset #enjoyyourlife #liveyourbestlife #decreasehealthrisks ##livelonger #guthealth #mitochondrialhealth #metabolism #metabolichealth #metabolismmatters See more

#FoodieFriday Shiitake mushrooms are considered medicinal since they contain special healing compounds that are being studied for many health conditions, including cancer. If your shiitakes come with stems, remove them and discard, since the stems have a woody, unpleasing texture. If you can’t find shiitake, substitute them with cremini or white button mushrooms. Shiitake Scallion Soup... 2 cups chicken broth 1 cup shiitake mushroom caps 2 green onions, thinly sliced 1-2 cloves of fresh crushed garlic 14 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon tamari Place the broth in a small saucepan along with the mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the tamari and serve immediately. #resetrestoreradiate #kitchenerwaterloo #kwawesome #drk #weightloss #wellness #metabolichealth #guthealth #naturopathicmedicine #functionalmedicine #preventivemedicine #eatclean #wholefoods #healthylifestyle #healthiswealth #stressresilience See more

#wellnesswednesday Using your passion to inspire you through health goals and habits can motivate you to stick with it, and do a better job, according to research. Pain gets you to the starting line, passion gets you to the finish line. Running towards something is fun and exciting - that's passion. Running away from something is scary and stressful - that's willpower.... Find some time to reflect on what it is behind the pain or frustration that you are passionate about. What would better digestion, hormonal balance, less pain, more energy (to name a few) mean to you and your life? Get curious and take your thought processes beyond what is wrong. What could happen when things improve? #resetrestoreradiate #kitchenerwaterloo #kwawesome #fmuptown #drk #weightloss #functionalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #healthylifestyle #healthiswealth #lifeyourbestlife #positivemindset #loveyourself #selfcare #passionoverwillpower #wholefoods #cleaneating #feelgood #preventativemedicine

#WellnessWednesday Did you know that being happier can make you healthier? "Happiness is a broad term that describes the experience of positive emotions, such as joy, contentment and satisfaction.... Emerging research shows that being happier doesn’t just make you feel better it actually brings a host of potential health benefits." A study of more than 7,000 adults found that those with a positive well-being were 47% more likely to consume fresh fruits and vegetables than their less positive counterparts. #resetrestoreradiate #kitchenerwaterloo #kwawesome #happiness #positivepsychology #drk #weightloss #functionalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #passionoverwillpower #positivemindset #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthiswealth https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/happiness-and-health

Another Functional Medicine Dr.’s way of talking about how important functional testing is not only for ‘gut related issues’ but also autoimmune issues.

Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raises your risk for heart disease and other health problems, such as diabetes and stroke. The term "metabolic" refers to the biochemical processes involved in the body's normal functioning You can prevent or reverse metabolic syndrome by making lifestyle changes, including: losing weight. exercising regularly. eating a healthy, balanced diet to keep your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels under c...ontrol. But what happens when you are doing all of those things, but your risk factors are still present? We need take a deeper look at root cause. The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centred, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
