How do we find mental health?

The journey to find mental well-being is often a long, winding and unexpected road.

We often think that our options are only medication and psychotherapy, and yet are often left with this inkling that there must be more.

Our minds are far too complex to be reduced to neurotransmitters and talk therapy. What about the influence of genetics, our environment, past traumas, hormones and nutrients?

The only way to mental well-being is via addressing its two most fundamental aspects: the story in the biochemistry.

My goal is to reset the bodies environment to serve as the foundation to achieve mental health. It’s a journey that takes courage and determination, but is ultimately the only way to gain autonomy over our mental and emotional state.

A healing ritual in a cup 🌿

Pu-erh tea, a fermented tea from ancient trees in Yunnan, China, has been produced there for about 1000 years. The tea helps support the body in profound ways.

This earthy, grounding tea may support:

🌱 Healthy cholesterol & lipid balance
🧠 Calmer mind & cognitive clarity
🔥 Reducing Inflammation
💚 Gut harmony, metabolism & blood sugar regulation

Each cup carries the wisdom of time — slowly fermented, deeply nourishing. Resteep, sip slowly, and let the medicine unfold.

☕️ A reminder: Pu-erh contains caffeine. Tune into your body and consult your care team if you’re on medications or have health conditions.

Pain with urination, bowel movements, or s*x? It’s not “just in your head.”

These are real, life-altering symptoms that are often overlooked, but they could be signs of endometriosis or adenomyosis.

At our clinic, we now offer the ENDOSURE TEST, a groundbreaking, non-invasive diagnostic test with 95%+ accuracy to detect endometriosis and adenomyosis without surgery.

No more years of guessing.
No more being told “everything looks normal.”
Just answers — faster.

Let’s change the narrative around these painful conditions.

First clinic in North America to offer ENDOSURE. Based in Calgary, serving patients across Canada.

Struggling to Conceive? It Might Be Endometriosis.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, and up to 50% of those with endo experience infertility. What’s even more staggering? Studies show that 25–50% of women with unexplained infertility are later diagnosed with endometriosis—often after years of unanswered questions.

This condition doesn’t just reduce the chance of conception—it can also increase the risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, preterm birth, and cesarean delivery.

The ENDOSURE TEST is the first non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis available in North America—and we’re proud to offer it at our clinic. In just 60 minutes, we can help bring clarity to your fertility journey without surgery.

If you’re facing unexplained infertility or have been told “everything looks fine,” this may be a crucial next step. Early diagnosis can change everything.

Breathe Easy During Wildfire Season 🔥🌬️

Wildfire smoke can dry out and weaken your lungs — especially from a Chinese Medicine perspective, where lungs are seen as delicate and sensitive to dryness.

🌿 Lung-Loving Foods:
– Lily Bulb (Bai He): Moistens lungs, calms cough & the mind. Add to soups or teas.
– Pears: Naturally cooling, they soothe the throat and support lung moisture.

💆‍♀️ DIY Acupressure Tips:
– Massage points around your eyes, brows, nose, and collarbone to support sinus & lung health.
– Try gentle pressure along the Lung Meridian from elbow to wrist for added relief.

🌱 Bonus: Acupuncture, cupping, and Tui Na can help chronic lung conditions. Consult your practitioner to personalize care.

✨ Protect your breath — your lungs will thank you.

Visit our website for Laura’s complete blog post outlining acupressure and acupuncture techniques to support your lung health this wildfire season.

We are proud to be the first clinic in North America to offer the ENDOSURE TEST — a non-invasive, 30-minute, highly accurate way to detect endometriosis, with no referral required.

What excites us most about this test is its potential to help the 1 in 10 Canadian women with endometriosis cut the typical 5 to 10+ year diagnostic delay down to just days.

What Is the ENDOSURE TEST?

The ENDOSURE is a Class II licensed medical device in Canada that uses Electroviscerography (EVG), a non-invasive, painless test that measures the myoelectrical activity of your small bowel, caused by the presence of endometriosis anywhere in your system — similar to an EKG for your heart.

How does ENDOSURE TEST know if you have endometriosis?

Here’s how it works—no surgery, no guesswork, just proven science:

• Your belly sends signals. Your organs communicate through tiny electrical messages, which can change with pain or inflammation.
• ENDOSURE records these signals. Soft sensors gently capture them—no pain, no poking, and no need to undress.
• Smart software analyzes the patterns. It detects disruptions that might indicate endometriosis, even before scans show anything.
• Your results are compared to known cases. The system checks your signals against thousands of confirmed cases to assess severity.
• It detects endometriosis anywhere in the body. Whether in your pelvis, spine, brain, or elsewhere, the test detects it—without imaging or biopsy

If you’re living with pelvic pain, heavy periods, fatigue, or a gut feeling that something’s not right — please know this:

You could be one of the 1 in 10 women with endometriosis—and you don’t have to wait the typical 5 to 10+ years for a diagnosis in Canada.

No surgery. No sedation. No endless referrals and waiting. Instead you’ll get:

• A rapid, non-invasive, highly accurate ENDOSURE TEST
• A 15-minute results review with Dr. Sarah Roth.
• Answers and Diagnosis — often within 1 to 3 days
