Let's Talk About It! with Dr.Michelle Willis ND Laser Therapy Provides Hope for Women With Pelvic Floor Prolapses... Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common problem affecting almost 50% of women who have had children! A prolapse can often feel like there is a bulge in the vaginal area. There are different types of prolapses- depending on what organ is falling into the vagina. A Rectocele: is when the rectum is prolapsing (falling into) the vagina & symptoms include: - a sensation of rectal pressure or fullness - a feeling that the rectum has not completely emptied after a bowel movement - difficulty having a bowel movement - needing to push on the rectum via the vagina to have a bowel movement Symptoms occur because a pocket of the rectum pushes into the vagina. Laser Solutions: ProlapLase is a (painless) vaginal laser treatment that is proven to be very effective in treating POP. The even greater news is that research shows that the average treatments can hold for three years & possibly longer. The vaginal laser treatment works by creating a photo thermal heating effect on collagen in the vagina, which shares a wall of tissue with the rectum. This thermal effect causes restructuring and regrowth of the collagen in the tissue wall. This results in thickening, tightening and strengthening of the vaginal & rectal wall: thus supporting the rectum to return to its original position. This simple non-surgical in office procedure is highly effective, pain free and safe. For more information call Dr. Michelle Willis ND at Integrated Health Clinic at 604-888-8325 to book a screening

Top 7 Causes of Hair Loss in Women By Dr. Michelle Willis ND By far the number one cause of hair loss that I see in my practice is low iron. One of the reasons why this affects seniors is because one needs an optimal level of stomach acid to absorb iron. It is common to have a decrease in stomach acid as you age. Also many people are taking a prescription for heartburn, which may decrease your absorption of iron. Another issue I see, with iron and hair loss, is that the n...Continue reading

Tired of Being Tired? Here are 7 common causes of fatigue commonly found in seniors; By Dr. Michelle Willis ND... 1. Low Iron: Many people have suboptimal levels of iron: Ferritin (your storage iron) should be 65 or above. If it is lower than this then fatigue, breath hunger, heavy legs &/or hair loss can all occur. Low iron is common in seniors, partly because to absorb iron we need optimal levels of stomach acid. As we age our stomach acid levels can drop. Or sometimes people have heartburn so are put on acid lowering drugs which can then lead to lower iron levels. 2. Low Hormones: For women Estrogen, DHEA and Testosterone provide us with energy! If your hormones are low your energy can be negatively impacted. For men it is mostly Testosterone & DHEA that impacts the energy. As men age they tend to shunt their testosterone to estrogen which can also impact the energy negatively and increase the size of the breast tissue. 3. Low Thyroid: Sometimes people do not convert their storage Thyroid (T4) to their active form of thyroid (T3). We need zinc, selenium, iodine, progesterone and iron in order to do this effectively. Synthroid is a form of T4. 4. Adrenal Fatigue: Chronic stress & malnutrition can lead to lower levels of cortisol. If you get dizzy when you stand, get sick often or cant clear flus very fast - low cortisol may be the issue. Sometimes adrenal fatigue will present as low energy all day followed by feeling better after 8 pm. The adrenals thrive with vitamin C, B5 and herbs called Adaptogens along with stress management techniques. 5. Insomnia: This is basic but most people need 8 hours of sleep & if you are not sleeping through the night due to low magnesium, low melatonin, adrenal fatigue or low hormones for example then your energy will often be very low. 6. Blood sugar problems: Type 2 Diabetes can also cause fatigue: A meal that has sugar in it or not enough protein can cause a big lull in energy for the day. So focus on really high fiber food, lots of protein, lots of vegetables, nuts and seeds & healthy fats. Skip the refined foods that are processed & avoid sugar and sweets. Try having fresh fruit as a treat instead. 7. Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies: A whole foods diet is amazing for the body. That means eat everything in its whole form: ie, meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains (like brown rice, quinoa, millet). Take you time to chew your food & you can always add in a basic digestive enzyme too. A basic Multi Vitamin/ Mineral supplement can really help also. You can live super optimally in all decades of your life. Finding the cause of your fatigue is the first step to living your best life. Ever step you take toward your health will have a huge impact on your life. You are worth it. Dr. Michelle Willis ND 604-888-8325

How Looking Better Helps your Health By Dr. Michelle Willis ND I always try to teach my patients how to attain health by eating good food, drinking clean water, enjoying exercise and making decisions that support their emotional & spiritual wellness. But over the last few years I have seen the great benefit of looking better. It was a bit of a shocking revelation as I previously had viewed aesthetics as being a shallow line of work!... It all started when I purchased a laser to treat Incontinence. The added bonus was that it was also great at making skin look younger and healthier. I started to see the impact of looking younger when I watched my patients look at themselves after I finished lasering them. The joy & happiness that they exude is really quite incredible. Its like a whole cascade of blissful neurtransmitters get released! I now believe in supporting peoples beauty as Im quite sure it improves their health, just a little bit. When we look in the mirror and love what we see this sets off positive emotions. Positive thoughts create positive nerotransmitter release like serotonin (the happy hormone). When we are out and about and receive a compliment this also helps our mood. Ive always like this Mark Twain quote, I can live for 2 months on a good compliment The laser treatment that I offer is called 3D Smoothlifting by Fotona. It is a 3 step laser treatment that tightens your skin from the inside out & increases your own innate production of collagen. This creates a subtle, very natural, younger look over a 2 month period. The treatment tightens the entire face & neck and lasts about 18 months with a healthy diet and lifestyle. The other beauty of my laser is that I can tighten skin anywhere on the body! Helping people improve their quality of life so they can experience as many positive emotions & moments as possible is what I enjoy.

Vaginal Atrophy is when the vaginal walls become very thin. This will cause tearing & pain with intercourse & day to day discomfort (like dryness, itching & irritation). The most common cause is low estrogen. Vaginal Atrophy can affect women of any age - but is extremely common in any woman put on an Estrogen Blocking Drug - due to Hormonal Cancers, such as Breast Cancer. It is also very common in Menopausal Women. Renovalase is a Vaginal Laser Therapy that has been clini...cally proven to eliminate the need for long-term estrogen administration. It is also safe & effective in women who currently have Breast Cancer. RenovaLase is a non- ablative photo thermal treatment of the vaginal canal which stimulates the fibroblasts to thicken the vaginal mucosa, in addition to increasing the collagen (stretch & strength) and vascularization (blood flow) to the vaginal wall. For best results 2-3 treatments are necessary. For more information on RenovaLase call Dr. Michelle Willis ND at 604-888-8325

Do you ever have to pee again right after you pee? You may have a Cystocele. A cystocele is common in women who have had babies. When the vaginal wall is over stretched or weak, the bladder can fall toward the vagina which makes a pocket. So when you sit down to pee it feels like all the urine is out. But when you lean over and stand up the pee can move - which is why you really do have to pee after just peeing! There is an effective laser therapy called ProlapLase that can help this. It is painless and there is no down time after treatment. For more information on ProlapLase call Dr. Michelle Willis ND at 604-888-8325
