So grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for personalized and functional medicine. Working with a team of extraordinary women to create an employee wellness program @metagenics. Launched it this week with a lunch and learn with 100 @metagenics employees on the importance of immune resilience and lifestyle strategies that support it. Overall message: start small people! Pick one behaviour you know will add to your health and wellness and do it every day. Tip #1: prioritize sleep!@soundslikesassy @milene_lara

As an ND, poop talk has always been a conversation I’ve been comfortable having...but I understand that’s not the case for everyone. So maybe you don’t want to talk about it, but it’s worth taking a look. Your poop can tell you a lot about your health and provide insight into what changes you may want to make to improve it. In a new blog post (link in bio) I ask 5 questions to help you get to know your poo:... 1. How often are you having a bowel movement? It’s not uncommon for patients to answer normal to this question without really understanding what normal is. Although this is individual, I suggest daily as a minimum goal :) 2. What colour is your poop? A shade of brown? 3. What is the shape and consistency? Check out the blog post for pictures! Yep, we went there. 4. Does it sink? Float? Greasy, sticky, and floating stool may mean you’re not digesting your food properly. 5. Does it smell? Some odour (to gas and bowel movements) can be normal, but anything gag worthy should be explored, especially if it’s ongoing. There’s a lot to learn from what’s in the toilet bowl. I hope you take a minute to look before you flush. #pooptalk #lookbeforeyouflush #naturopathicmedicine @metagenics

What's the first thing that comes to mind? Please leave a comment :)

Prioritizing sleep and time in nature, along with intermittent fasting, have me feeling like my cup is pretty full. Turns out I’m more patient, efficient, and calm when operating from a place of abundance. What fills up your cup? #fillyourcup #naturecure #sleep #IF

Today was one of those days that I completely forgot all the things I dread about winter. Instead, I was amazed by the beauty and diversity of Mother Nature. #nature #snoeshoeing #makingthemostofit

Animals are awesome. We’re kinda addicted. The newest addition to the family - our sweet Molly. #animalsofinstagram #petsarefamily

I love a theme! I can’t think of a better way to start 2021 than with a gut focus. Hippocrates had it right - all disease begins in the gut. This week’s to-dos include a blog all about probiotics and the immune system and writing up a case report on the connection between gut health and psoriatic arthritis. Happy to be back at it after a week of R&R with my favourite people. ... All the best for 2021! #guthealth #hippocrates #writer #reader #science

Gratitude. Days 21 & 22. So much to be grateful for in this single image that I’m counting it as a two-day post We expanded our homestead in the spring and have learned so many lessons in such a short time. I’m so grateful that my children are learning these lessons with us and for the compassion and work ethic having a homestead has nurtured in them. ... This is Bowen’s favourite chicken (I can’t tell any of them apart). #homestead #doublegratitude #twobirdsonestone #notreallyjustone #family

Gratitude. Day 20. Grateful for Sunday mornings spent with this gem. #games #sundayfunday #alwayscoffee #gratitude #family

I'm thrilled to be working on a pilot project that I want YOU to be a part of! * It's FREE! * Includes 15 minute virtual consultation with me to explore a habit you would like to focus on! Will you join me? PM for details.

Keeping it simple.

These are a few of my favourite things #grateful #summerloving #beachvibes

Nature’s candy. Not only sweet and delicious, these puppies provide antioxidants, such as lycopene and vitamin c, that have been shown to protect against certain cancers and support immune health. They grow well in gardens or in pots and are yummy raw or cooked. What’s not to love? #growyourownfood #happyhomesteading #colourfulfood #antioxidants #plants

How do you find balance?

Feeling like my gi system needs a reset and I love using broth to achieve this goal. I’m keeping it super simple today with a multi-variety onion and garlic soup/broth - all from the garden. #growyourownfood #happyhomesteading

Time with great friends and water is the best reset. @gillybean_4
