IBS Awareness Month 🍃

Do you find yourself declining plans because you’re worried your stomach will act up? Or dreading an upcoming trip because eating out hasn’t gone well in the past? 💭

You’re not alone. Dr. Shelby Garn explains:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder with a wide range of symptoms: abdominal pain, bloating, urgency, and changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or both) despite no identifiable structural disease. 🧬

IBS is typically categorized into subtypes:

▫️ IBS-D (diarrhea predominant)
▫️ IBS-C (constipation predominant)
▫️ Mixed type

It’s also considered a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning other potential causes have been ruled out. IBS often involves a combination of factors, such as:

✨ Altered gut motility
✨ Microbial imbalances (dysbiosis)
✨ Digestive enzyme insufficiency
✨ Immune system imbalances in the gut
✨ Disruptions in the gut-brain connection

Common triggers can include stress, food sensitivities, hormonal shifts, and past infections. The good news? There are many ways to support your gut. Management is highly individualized and may include targeted nutrition strategies, stress support, and foundational therapies tailored to your specific symptoms and subtype. 🩺

If digestive concerns are impacting your daily life, we’re here to support you:

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month 🍃

Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurological condition that affects movement and can also impact cognitive function over time. At Vive Integrative Health Group, we’re continuing to explore the growing research around why this condition develops and how we can better support those living with it. 🧠

Emerging evidence suggests Parkinson’s may be influenced by multiple underlying factors, including:

✔️ Gut health and the digestive microbiome (such as SIBO and “leaky gut”)
✔️ Mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced cellular energy production
✔️ Environmental toxins and chemical exposures
✔️ Stealth infections that may impact neurological and immune function

Our focus is on supporting resilience from the inside out: nourishing the nervous system, optimizing mitochondrial function, and exploring underlying drivers that may be contributing to imbalance. 🙏

From Fertility to Pregnancy: Now What? 🍃

That long-awaited positive test is just the beginning of a new chapter. While so much focus goes into getting pregnant, what comes next, supporting your body through pregnancy and preparing for postpartum, is just as important. ✨

In her latest blog, Dr. Patti Yik shares how to thoughtfully transition into this next phase with confidence and care. From nourishing your body with key nutrients, to staying active, managing stress, and preparing for postpartum support…it’s all about creating a strong, sustainable foundation for both you and your baby. Your health doesn’t stop at conception, it evolves. 🙌

If you’re newly pregnant (or planning ahead), this is a must-read resource to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way. 🙏

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 🍃

Dr. Jennifer Yee is sharing insight into autism to help foster greater understanding, compassion, and support for individuals and families in our community. 🧩

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition, not a disease, and exists on a spectrum. Every individual’s experience is unique, but many may navigate differences in communication, social interaction, sensory processing, and behavioural patterns.

✨ Early awareness matters: Parents and caregivers are often the first to notice signs such as speech delays, reduced eye contact, or challenges with social engagement. It’s also important to recognize that cultural differences and environments can influence how these signs appear.

🩺 Diagnosis & support: In Canada, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is diagnosed using DSM-V criteria, often with a collaborative healthcare team. Early diagnosis can open the door to meaningful support.

🙏 A whole-person approach to care: From a Naturopathic perspective, support focuses on improving quality of life by addressing common co-existing concerns. Care is always individualized, meeting each person where they are, and supporting their unique needs and goals.

At Vive Integrative Health Group, we believe in supporting the whole person, and their support system too. Read Dr. Jennifer Yee’s full blog to learn more about signs, diagnosis, and how we can support individuals on the autism spectrum: https://vivehealth.ca/autism-calgary-naturopath/

Colorectal Cancer Awareness 🍃

Colorectal cancer is no longer just a concern for older adults. Dr. Colin Race shares that diagnoses in individuals under 50 are increasing. Many contributing factors trace back to the gut microbiome, reinforcing just how essential it is to care for our digestive system. ✨

At Vive Integrative Health Group, we’re here to support you at every stage…from prevention and education to walking alongside patients navigating a cancer diagnosis with compassionate, integrative care. 🙏

It’s Liver Health Month 🍃

Feeling more fatigued than usual, noticing digestive discomfort, or experiencing unexplained skin changes? Your liver might be asking for a little extra support. 🙏

Dr. Shelby Garn shares why this powerful (and often overlooked) organ deserves your attention. Even if you don’t drink alcohol, your liver is working hard every day to process the thousands of environmental toxins we’re exposed to…from food and water to air and personal care products.

The good news? Your liver responds incredibly well to simple, consistent lifestyle habits:

✨ Nourish with leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, berries & healthy fats
✨ Stay hydrated and keep things moving (daily movement matters!)
✨ Prioritize restful sleep to support overnight detoxification
✨ Reduce processed foods, refined sugars & alcohol
✨ Support stress management with mindfulness practices

And don’t forget, eggs are a liver-loving superfood, rich in choline to support detox and fat metabolism 🥚

Supporting your liver isn’t about extreme cleanses. It’s about sustainable, everyday choices that help your body do what it’s designed to do! Read Dr. Shelby’s full blog to learn more: https://vivehealth.ca/liver-health/

World Down Syndrome Day 🍃

Today, we are proudly wearing mismatched socks, because this day holds a very special place in our hearts. World Down Syndrome Day is a celebration of the beautiful lives, unique perspectives, and meaningful contributions of individuals with Down syndrome. The date (3/21) represents the tripling of the 21st chromosome, an extra chromosome that makes the world a more vibrant and special place. 🙏

Mismatched socks carry a powerful message. Their shape resembles chromosomes, and wearing them is a fun, visible way to spark conversations around inclusion, acceptance, and celebrating differences. 🧦

Today and every day, we honour and support a world where every individual is valued, included, and given the opportunity to thrive. 💙
