Update All patients presenting at the clinic will be asked to screen their temperature prior to their appointment. #clinicupdates #redzone #durhamregion #covidprotocols #YourHealthCollective

Your Health Collective remains open to serve Ajax and surrounding areas, as Durham Region moves into the Red Zone. Our clinic continues to have enhanced sanitation processes: rooms are cleaned between every patient visit, all high touch surfaces are cleaned frequently, we ask patients not to use the washroom facilities if possible but if used they are cleaned immediately. We are cleaning with COVID approved cleaning products All patients are sent a screening question...naire prior to their visit and are screened upon arrival to the clinic We ask that patients arrive to the clinic at the time of their appointment to reduce contact with other patients and staff, if late we may need to reschedule the appointment Everyone in the clinic must wear a mask/PPE, no services will be performed where a mask is removed (such as acupuncture on the face, facial cupping, etc.) We appreciate everyone’s cooperation, understanding, and ongoing support during this time. #covidprotocols #clinicguidelines #redzone #durhamregion #enhancedscreening #enhancedsanitation #remainingopen #PPE #ajax #health&wellness #integrativeclinic @yourhealthcollective.ca

Breathe in a big sigh of relief because there is only a little over 5 weeks left of 2020. That also means there are only 5 weeks left to use those benefits. Book in with any of our naturopaths, registered acupuncturist, manual osteopathic practitioners, holistic nutritionist, or psychotherapist online or by calling us at 905-619-3737. #endoftheyear #usethosebenefits #supportalocalsmallbusiness #integrativewellness #yourhealthcollective

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Now if I can only find the motivation to decorate the tree. #winterwonderland #firstsnowfall #november2020 #countdowntochristmas #quarantinechristmas #christmastree

Did you know there is a biochemical and physiological reason behind our cravings during stressful times?! When we are stressed, physically, mentally, or emotionally our bodies produce higher amounts of the stress hormone, cortisol. When cortisol levels are high and we eat sugar or other simple carbohydrate foods, it causes our insulin to spike. (Insulin is produced in the pancreas in response to sugar). High insulin levels cause blood sugars to plummet, leading to a further ...increase in the secretion of our stress hormone, cortisol, and increased hunger, especially for sweets and carbs. Stress eating is a real thing. #understandingthecycle #stress #cravings #cortisol #bloodsugars #stresseating

Can it be Fall for just a little bit longer? #forestbathing

Taking a moment this morning to remember the sacrifices made by the many Canadian men, women, Indigenous people, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ folks, who have fought to protect our rights and freedoms. These were/are fathers/mothers, brothers/sisters, sons/daughters, and someone special to their families, friends, community. Let us not forget their sacrifice. #remembranceday2020 #canada
