I had the pleasure of hearing Canadian astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield speak this week. There are so many nuggets of wisdom that have been rolling around in my brain formulating themselves into this article. Even though it was fun and surreal to hear about his crazy adventures up in space, and being the first Canadian to walk [...]
I get a lot of patients ask me about allergy testing. They say, “I just want to know what I’m allergic to.” I hear that. Why wouldn’t you want to know about the foods that are essentially poison to YOUR body? Especially if they are generally considered health-promoting foods. The wrong foods can turn you [...]
I’m going to tell you two stories about car trouble, which will segue into one of my favorite deserts, which will hopefully give you some giggles (because laughter is incredible medicine) and also seamlessly transition us into today’s topic. Sound good? This past weekend I went to my local health food store to buy some [...]
In the last two weeks I’ve had two people apologize to me for sexually inappropriate things they had said to me. Both men. One was four years ago, and the other was eight. I’m not talking yesterday.

A couple weeks ago, at a salsa dance event the organizer gave a little goodbye speech. He was leaving for some travels for several months.

Recently I met a new patient, who has been struggling for a long time with some very serious health problems. When she came to me and said, “You’re my last hope.” And I bought into that. At first. For about a week I thought, “Gosh. I’m her last hope.” But the more I’ve been thinking [...]
I’m not sure if it’s true where you are, but I’ve notice the air in the mornings has a hint of fall. There is more moisture, a sweeter smell, and chill that wasn’t there last week or the one before. I haven’t been creating a lot of new content over the summer. I had lots [...]
If you’re not getting any sustainable benefit from your medical doctor or other practitioner, read on. You’ve been investing a lot of time, energy and money but you’re still in pain or you still haven’t reached your goals of say having normal bowel movements or getting pregnant. (To be clear. I’m not dissing any of [...]
I’ve been thinking about favours a lot lately. As I’ve been moving clinics, I’ve been asking a lot of people – especially my giant husband for bucketfuls of help. I’m so grateful for everytime he or anyone stepped up, but I’m also grateful for the folks who declined with thanks. I’ve written before about figuring [...]
