What I’m Reading Now

We are our genes, but how can we control our genes to live our healthiest life? This book, by one of the leading functional medicine doctors in North America, helps us to figure out which genes might be causing us problems (even if you haven’t done genetic testing) and how to clear them up. If you suffer from; allergies, high blood pressure, chemical sensitivities, poor exercise recovery, hormonal fluctuations, or many other issues, this book helps you Clean your Genes through diet and lifestyle changes first and then helps you zero in on which supplements are going to turn on or off those Dirty Genes. Dr. Lynch takes a concept that is extremely complicated and makes it simple and actionable. Take your health to the next level with one!

Fat Bombs, BOOM!!

Fat bombs are something that I discovered when exploring a low-carb, high fat diet (ketogenic diet). These tasty high fat treats are designed to help quickly fill you up without spiking your blood sugar or leaving you looking for that next treat. Eating fat fills you up and it lasts a long time in your system, some people also use these as part of a short term ‘fast’ when it’s going to be a long time between meals. Fat bombs are also great when breastfeeding to help boost milk supply and add in lots of those healthy saturated fats that are key to milk production. I chose to share this lemon fat bomb recipe with you because it truly is one of the easiest recipes out there, I love when there is hardly any clean up! There are so many other flavours of fat bombs out there; chocolate, coconut and peanut butter, that there’s definitely a version for everyone!

Reflector Sunscreen

It’s officially summer! If you haven’t already started using some type of sunscreen on your face, check out the brand new Reflector from Cocoon Apothecary. It’s made with all natural, super healthy ingredients because they care what goes on your skin. I love that it’s non-whitening and spreads on so nicely without being too thick like some mineral based sunscreens. It’s really just meant for the face, although it could be used for other body parts too. Cocoon makes sure all of their products are rated 0-2 on the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, this is a company that cares about your health! We have a limited supply in the office, get yours soon!

Why Cleanse Your Liver | The Naturally Good Health Clinic

Why Cleanse Your Liver | The Naturally Good Health Clinic

It's Spring in Alberta! Time to shake off winter with our exclusive offer!

Are you tired from the long winter? Perhaps carrying around some extra weight, have low motivation, foggy thinking, feeling down, abdominal bloating, not sleeping well, or concerned about seasonal allergies, then it is time to think about renewing your health ASAP. 

We want to enhance your cleanse experience in the month of May

Join our Spring Cleansing Group— this is an exclusive offer for only the first 20 people!

We will give you a cleansing diet program complete with menu plan, online support along with a visit (in person or by phone) to review supplements and make recommendations for only $49 (regular $160 value) 

Why Cleanse Your Liver Your liver works hard for you all year, it is time to show that important organ some love. Spring cleansing is the art of giving your liver a tune-up using dietary changes, herbs, nutritional supplements and/or homeopathics to promote good health. 

Health food stores carry numerous cleanses, but it may not be the best for your system and individual needs.

As Naturopathic Doctors we are trained to assess your health and prescribe the right nutritional supplements and remedies. If you have never cleansed before or are not sure what approach is right for your body, seek a professional and get that extra help. 

Spring Clean Your Supplements

Take some time to assess your nutritional supplements. Are there some that you are not using, or are you not sure what they are for, or is it even something you should be taking? Throw out any expired bottles, and seek professional advice with these products. As Naturopathic Doctors we are able to advise you on your daily supplement regime and even simplify it. We can guide you on what specific supplements would work best for you. 

It is important to care for your body and look after your health to ensure wellness in the long term. You may feel overwhelmed with daily life and feel like there is no time to look after yourself, however, the opposite is true. If we can take the time for health, everything else goes more smoothly. 

Start Cleansing with these Simple Steps:

  • Get outside Once the snow melts and temperatures warm up, it is good to exercise outdoors. Walking 30 mins a day and getting some sunlight does wonders to reduce stress and get into the habit of movement. Explore your surroundings and see what is changing in your world.
  • Lemon water Start the day with a squeeze of fresh lemon in one glass of water. This aids in liver cleansing and digestion. If you cannot tolerate lemon or it hurts your teeth, try using liquid chlorophyll instead (1 tsp to 1 glass of water).
  • Consume greens Eat more leafy green vegetables aids the liver in cleansing. Try; dandelion, watercress, nettle, kale, Swiss chard, romaine or butter leaf lettuce. The bitter flavour is important to open the liver and stimulate the release toxins.

In the spring we can have more raw vegetables, including salads and juicing, but due to our cooler climate, you may still want to steam vegetables and make them into soups that act like a tonic for your digestive system.
