Nervous System Regulation: Your Autonomic Nervous System 🍃

Part 1/2 series with Dr. Shelby Garn:

Many health concerns, from digestion and hormones to sleep and energy, are deeply connected to the nervous system, yet it’s often overlooked in treatment. 🩺

Dr. Shelby Garn explains in her latest blog that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates automatic functions such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, hormone signalling, and the stress response. When stress, poor sleep, inflammation, or illness keep the body in fight-or-flight, the nervous system struggles to shift into rest-and-digest mode. 🙏

Low vagal tone can show up as:

😟 Anxiety
🍽️ Digestive issues
💤 Ongoing fatigue
😡 Poor stress tolerance
⏰ Slower recovery

Research continues to show that healing is limited when the nervous system isn’t supported, regardless of the quality of the treatment plan. With the holiday season approaching, nervous system regulation matters more than ever. 🎄

Patient Love at Vive Integrative Health 🍃

“I’ve been going to Vive Integrative Health for more than four years, and it has been a life changer for my physical health. I have seen improvement in areas that I saw as impossible to heal (SIBO, hormone-related issues, and so on), and even my mood has improved. I love how my health is seen from Vive’s holistic point of view, and every treatment I receive, I am able to see the results right away or a couple of months later. The best part is that I know the root cause of the issue is addressed.”

- Vivian, Vive Health Patient

We believe in whole-person care that looks beyond symptoms to uncover and treat the root cause so that you can experience real, lasting change. 🙏

Case Study: Laser Therapy 🍃

Can chronic pain really improve when everything else has failed? For one woman in her 50s living with years of severe back pain, even after multiple surgeries, the answer was yes. 🙏

In her latest case study, Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu shares how photobiomodulation (PBM) helped a patient go from waking with extreme pain every morning to experiencing consistent, manageable relief…and even sleeping better along the way. 💤

Through a personalized treatment plan that included red/infrared light therapy, anti-inflammatory support, and gentle ergonomic changes, her pain gradually decreased to a level she described as “nothing compared to before.” Today, she’s maintaining her results and feeling genuinely hopeful again. ✨

Photobiomodulation is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that may support pain reduction, inflammation, circulation, and healing… especially for those who feel they’ve tried everything. If chronic pain is affecting your daily life, this therapy might be worth exploring. 📖

November is Eczema Awareness Month 🍃

Eczema affects up to 15–20% of Canadians at some point in their lives, with about 17% diagnosed with atopic dermatitis — the most common form. This condition often follows a relapsing-remitting pattern, meaning symptoms can flare for a time and then subside, sometimes disappearing for weeks, months, or even years. 📅

For both children and adults, eczema can be incredibly challenging. The constant itch can be overwhelming — a deep, persistent sensation that demands attention and often leads to scratching until the skin becomes raw or even bleeds. The open, irritated skin can then sting, ache, or become prone to infection, creating a painful cycle that affects not just the skin, but also sleep, confidence, and quality of life. 😩

Yet, there is hope. While there isn’t a single cure for eczema, there are many effective ways to manage it and dramatically reduce flare-ups. Identifying your unique triggers, supporting your skin barrier, keeping well-hydrated, and making small but consistent lifestyle changes can all make a real difference. ✨

If you’re feeling lost or discouraged, know that you don’t have to navigate this alone. Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu understands eczema firsthand and can help you discover what your skin needs to calm inflammation, restore balance, and achieve lasting relief — so you can feel comfortable in your own skin again. 🙏

Functional Lab Testing & Fertility 🍃

Conventional fertility testing often focuses on structural issues and basic hormone levels, but many couples still struggle to conceive without clear answers. Functional lab testing provides a deeper, system-based evaluation to identify the underlying factors that may be impairing fertility. 🧪

In her latest blog, Dr. Patti Yik outlines how advanced testing can uncover root causes such as:

🧬 Hormonal dysregulation, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and DHEA metabolism (DUTCH Panel)

✨ Nutrient deficiencies impacting egg quality, s***m parameters, mitochondrial function, and hormone synthesis (Organic Acids Testing)

❤️ Chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation, which may interfere with ovulation, implantation, or early pregnancy

😷 Toxin and environmental exposures, including heavy metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals

🧫 Gut microbiome imbalance, leaky gut markers, bacteriology, and food sensitivities that can influence immune activity and hormone metabolism
