Book with a naturopathic intern
Fresh eyes and new ideas are always welcome when patient care is collaborative care. I love when my patients book in with my naturopathic interns so that we can get a new spin on their case. New graduates have up-to-date knowledge of research and modern medical practices that may not have been the norm when […]

How to absolutely maximize iron absorption
How to absolutely maximize iron absorption Sometimes a patient’s iron level is low and we need to hurry to get it up. This can be after an acute blood loss (an injury, surgery or flooding period), or it can within a biological phase (like pregnancy). Either way, in order to get iron levels up as […]
Easy way to sprout legumes
Easy way to sprout legumes Chickpeas are a great source of protein, fibre and minerals, but many of us have a hard time digesting them, and that makes sense!

Improve the digestibility of bread | Sourdough
Improve the digestibility of bread | SOURDOUGH I love bread. I don’t want to love bread so much, but I do. I was raised on freshly baked bread, and have worked as a baker more than once. I can appreciate that bread, though nutritious to some degree, is a filler food and nutritionally pales in […]
The Brilliance of At-Home Medical Testing
The Brilliance of At-Home Medical Testing I love the convenience of at-home sample collection and testing. When medical testing options are available for the patient to do themselves, it saves them the trip to the crowded germy testing lab, and doesn’t demand so much of their busy schedules. I think the future of health care […]

This is not because I think they are unnecessary, it’s because I’m straight up phobic about it. I’m actually a recovering needle-phobe as well. Truthfully, part of my secret reasoning for […]
