Patient Testimonial: Prolotherapy with Dr. Colin Race 🍃

“I was completely amazed how effective prolotherapy has been for my knee. Since partially tearing my ACL and MCL playing soccer years ago, my knee has felt unstable and occasionally tender. I have also been more prone to further injuries of the same knee. With only one prolotherapy treatment by Dr. Race, my knee already feels more stable, and I am able to resume physical activity, including soccer, feeling much stronger and with greater confidence. I highly recommend Dr. Race for any sports-related injury or musculoskeletal pain!”

- BJ, Vive Health Patient

What is Prolotherapy? 💭

Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment that helps injured ligaments, tendons, and joints heal naturally, restoring strength, stability, and function…not just masking pain. By stimulating the body’s healing response, prolotherapy can help you get back to your favourite activities faster and with confidence.

HypnoBirthing Class Five: Integration Of Knowledge 🍃

Class Five marked the final session of the series with Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu. It was a beautiful integration of everything parents have learned throughout their HypnoBirthing® journey. One of the dads described the experience perfectly: "Labour and Birthing 101…or even Pregnancy 101!" 👩‍🍼

This last class reinforced the practical, foundational knowledge that helps couples feel prepared, confident, and supported:

🤍 Fathers gained clarity on their role and confidence in supporting the birthing parent
🤍 Mothers strengthened trust in their bodies and their innate wisdom during birth
🤍 Couples left with a cohesive understanding of relaxation techniques, birth positions, and strategies to create a calm, positive birth experience

Class Five was about tying it all together and helping parents feel empowered, informed, and ready for the incredible journey ahead. 🙏

HypnoBirthing Class 4: A Calm & Positive Birth Is Possible 🍃

One of the biggest takeaways from class four with Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu was a powerful reminder: a beautiful, calm, and positive birth is possible. 🙏

In this session, parents had the opportunity to watch real HypnoBirthing® birth videos, seeing firsthand that empowered, gentle births aren’t just theory, they’re real experiences happening every day. 👩‍🍼

These videos allow parents to:

🤍 Witness calm, confident birthing environments
🤍 Observe different techniques used during labour and birth🤍 Explore what feels aligned and supportive for their own journey

When parents believe a calm birth is possible, they start preparing for one. Stay tuned for Dr. Charmagne’s takeaways from class five! 🙌

Alzheimer’s Awareness Month: Supporting Brain Health at Every Stage 🍃

Cognitive decline is often seen as a “normal” part of aging, but the truth is, it doesn’t have to be. With early detection and a personalized, whole-body approach, there’s real potential to slow, stop, and even improve cognitive changes associated with Alzheimer’s and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). 🧠

At Vive Integrative Health Group, our Naturopathic doctors take a comprehensive, root-cause approach inspired by the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we look deeper to understand why cognitive decline may be happening in the first place. 📝

Our Comprehensive Alzheimer’s & MCI Assessment May Include:

✔️ Advanced blood work (hormones, thyroid, nutrients, inflammation, cardio-metabolic health)
✔️ Toxin screening (heavy metals, mold, glyphosate, environmental pollutants)
✔️ Gut & microbiome testing (stool analysis + intestinal permeability)
✔️ Chronic infection screening
✔️ Cognitive screening tools like the MoCA to assess memory, attention, and executive function

Why This Matters:

✨ Early detection creates opportunity for better outcomes
✨ Personalized treatment plans support each patient’s unique needs
✨ Addressing root causes goes beyond symptom management
✨ Ongoing monitoring allows us to adjust and optimize care

Brain health is whole-body health. Hormones, nutrients, inflammation, toxins, gut health, and infections can all influence memory and cognition. When we identify these early, we can build a plan to protect and support your mind for the long term. If you or a loved one are noticing changes in memory, focus, or cognitive function, our team at Vive Health is here to help guide you with clarity and compassion.

HypnoBirthing Class 3: Strengthening the Relaxation Muscle 🍃

During class three, Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu focused on an empowering truth: the more you practice relaxation, the easier it becomes to access it. 🙏

The biggest takeaway: The mothers shared the same experience. While practicing at home using intentional discomfort (e.g., placing a cold towel on the back), they noticed they relaxed more easily each time they practiced. What once felt challenging began to feel natural. That practice carried over into class as well, where it became progressively easier to settle into a calm state during hypnosis and meditation exercises. This growing sense of ease was deeply encouraging for them. ☺️

For partners, too: The fathers appreciated seeing different types of birthing experiences and realizing that birth doesn’t have to look only one way. A key theme from the class was simple but powerful: Relaxation is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes. With practice, calm becomes easier to access. 🧘

Stay tuned for our next class recap as we continue this empowering journey toward birth! 🍼

HypnoBirthing Class 2: The Power of Partnership 🍃

During class two, Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu explored a powerful truth in pregnancy and birth: fathers and partners play an integral role long before labour even begins.🧍

The biggest takeaway: A mother’s emotional state is communicated to her baby through the placenta. When she experiences stress, worry, happiness, calm, or joy, her baby is exposed to those same neurotransmitters and hormonal signals. In other words, a baby’s developing brain is shaped, in part, by how a mother feels day to day. 🧠

Why partners matter: This is where fathers play a crucial role. How is the partner contributing to the mother’s environment? Are they helping her feel safe and secure? Supporting her in processing long-term stress? These factors matter deeply during brain development. The hormones and neurotransmitters a baby experiences in utero become a kind of blueprint for life outside the womb 🙏

Birth is never a solo journey. It’s a shared experience rooted in connection, safety, and support. Stay tuned for our week three recap as we continue this empowering journey toward birth! 👩‍🍼
