Getting to the Root Cause of your Health Issues is very important. You cannot heal and get better if you do not know why you got sick in the first place. In functional medicine we treat the root cause through testing but also evaluating 🤔 your overall lifestyle. Healing is a journey but their is hope no matter how hard it might seem right now.

Remember to take care of you! This is for all the women out there doing it all. Working full time, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, buying the groceries and all the other things. You need to care for yourself as well, we cannot give from an empty cup. Fill yourself up. It is not selfish!! Find a few things you enjoy - dance, yoga, meditation, walking, exercise, time alone and do them a few times a week, without feeling guilty 👊Do not forget your needs, wants and desires they matter 💜

Feeling Fatigued? Sometimes feeling fatigued or tired is normal if you didn’t get enough sleep or are getting over a cold but it shouldn’t be happening on a daily basis. If your feeling fatigued or tired on a regular basis or need multiple coffee’s to make it through the day your body is giving you a sign. We shouldn’t ignore these subtle signs. When ignored they usually manifest into bigger health issues. Ensure you are supporting yourself in your daily activities and find the right practitioner who can support you in your health journey.

Get Outside - I know it is winter 🥶 in many places but even when it is cold and there is snow on the ground you should still do your best to get outside. Even if just for 5 mins. Being in nature even viewing scenes of nature has so many health benefits. It reduces feeling of stress, anger, and fear. It helps increases your feel good 😊 hormones. It contributes to your overall well-being, reduces blood pressure and heart rate. It just makes you feel good. routine

Being Grateful is an amazing practice. Just say Thank you to the universe, God, yourself or others. Write a few things down you are grateful for upon awakening or before retiring at night. Even on your darkest days you have something you can be grateful for. Have a blessed Monday everyone 💜

Do you mediate ?

I meditate every morning for about 15 mins and it has really helped me stay in the moment, stop my racing thoughts and Center my mind. Even if it is for only 15 mins a day.

It is the one routine I have stuck with over the past 2 years and in this current world we all need routines that help ground us.

It’s easy and does not take too much effort on your part. It is best if you do it as soon as you wake up or before you sleep your brain is in a more open state at those times.

I personally use guided meditation on YouTube mostly but some other ways to meditate are staring at a candle flame for 5-15 minutes, you can listen to soft music and just close your eyes, you can just sit quietly in a room, you can even do a walking meditation in the park or in the forest. You are working on present being in the now.

Here are some of my favourite guided meditation I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. https://youtu.be/EZcitzcC0IY

Gluten - it’s a love hate relationship for most of us especially as we get older. My challenge to you this week is to notice how much gluten you and your family eat on a daily basis. Then plan a week or two where you cut out all gluten really pay attention to how you feel. If you decide to add it back in again really pay attention to how you feel. You might just decide to become gluten free!!

Sleep is very underrated in our society especially when it comes to your health. When you do not sleep well or constantly sleep less then 7 hours it causes a cascade of health issues;

Some of the signs of sleep deprivation are;

* Difficulty concentrating
* Irritability
* Anxiety
* Moodiness
* Weight Gain
* Inability to handle stress
* Decreased memory
* Increased Pain
