Last year, I was invited to speak at a gathering of women hosted by Ally Pyle of the Pyle Group. The goal was simple but powerful: to teach women the importance of investing. I’ve always believed that when women have money and their health, the world shifts. So, let’s talk about both. What good is a solid financial plan if your health doesn’t let you enjoy it?

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are among the most common autoimmune conditions, especially in women. Here's how naturopathic medicine can support individuals with Hashimoto's and Graves' Disease.

The idea that sugar feeds cancer is one of the most common and concerning myths people encounter. The truth, though, is more nuanced and more reassuring.

When I opened Peterborough Centre of Naturopathic Medicine back in November 2013, my goal was simple but ambitious: to move local healthcare forward.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Health Awareness months are meant to be a time we come together to honour those affected and shine a light on prevention and treatment. Every year, the conversation grows louder around risk, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer.  But there’s still a myth that needs dismantling: the idea that estrogen is something to be feared.

A few months ago, a patient told me she had uploaded her blood work into ChatGPT and asked it to recommend how to improve her health based on her results. 

Fruit has somehow ended up on the “questionable foods” list for people with diabetes. Here's the truth about fruit and diabetes.

Perimenopause is a natural transition every woman experiences, yet so many of us feel caught off guard when it begins. This stage, which...

We ended the summer by spending the week camping at Missinaibi Provincial Park. Mike and his parents have gone to this park annually for years, and this year we got to share it with the kids. This provincial park is like nothing I’ve seen before. It’s 501km long, contains over 215,000 acres and is part of a historical trading route with a river that flows out to James Bay.

I’ve always been a bit of a gadget person. If there’s a new piece of equipment, a modern tool, or a device promising better results, I’m curious. But I’m also naturally skeptical. When lasers for pain and injury recovery first hit the scene, I’ll admit—I didn’t buy into the hype.

In high school and university, I was that girl. The one who hit the tanning beds. Who laid out in the sun for hours, chasing the “perfect” golden glow. Sunscreen? Forget it. I told myself the fewer things I put on my body, the better. I wore barely any makeup, washed my face with water, and didn’t believe in moisturizer

Creatine is having its moment in the social media spotlight. Once seen as the domain of bodybuilders and high-performance athletes, it's now gaining traction among women, older adults, and even those recovering from cancer.

Let’s be honest: our culture has long made it more acceptable for men to talk about sex, explore their pleasure, and ask for what they want. However, when women feel sexually empowered—if they want sex and are enjoying it—it ripples out into every area of life. Good sex (if you want it) is grounding. It’s energizing. It gives you the confidence to move through the world more boldly, more authentically, and more freely.

A steady and scheduled regimen of intravenous vitamin therapy has been proven to help people achieve stronger immunity, increased energy levels and a much-needed support for conventional medical treatments

So many of us spend years being “the reliable one.” The helper. The peacekeeper. And while kindness is a gift, constantly saying “yes” when we really mean “no” leaves very little room for what actually energizes us. It often leaves us feeling physically and mentally exhausted, resentful, and irritable.
