AI can build a meal plan in seconds. But is it healthy?
Artificial intelligence can suggest recipes and grocery lists, but it cannot replace the guidance of a registered dietitian who understands your health needs.

Oscars night snacking doesn’t have to mean reaching for junk food! As you settle in to watch the red carpet and award‑winning moments, try swapping sugary or salty treats for healthier alternatives. Our PCN dietitian, Evita Basilio, shares tips on choosing nourishing options that let you enjoy the night without overindulging. 🍴
If you’re looking for more personalized guidance on nutrition and diet, talk to your primary care provider or connect with a PCN registered dietitian for expert support.

Ramadan is a time of reflection, fasting, and spiritual growth. But it can also bring challenges for those managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease or weight management. That's where your primary care team can make a difference!

If you’re navigating fasting during Ramadan and have a chronic condition, talk to your primary care provider about meeting with a PCN registered dietitian who can help support your wellbeing during this sacred time:

Women represent a significant proportion of family doctors across PCNs, reflecting the invaluable contributions they make to primary care, patients and communities.

We asked a member, “What advice would she give a young woman considering a career in medicine?”

"I would encourage any young woman considering medicine to pursue it. It’s a meaningful career and a privilege to practice. Just don’t let it become the only thing that defines you. Keep fostering your hobbies, relationships and life outside of medicine along the way. Stay well-rounded. This will serve both you and your patients as it will make you a happier person, and therefore a better doctor.” — Dr. Lama Mouneimne, PCN family doctor

On Canadian Women Physicians Day, we invite you to join us in recognizing and celebrating all women family doctors. We appreciate the care they provide, the relationships they build, and the way they show up for patients and teams.

Feeling a little off today? ⏰ The time change can disrupt your body’s internal clock, leaving many people feeling tired or low on energy. As you adjust this week, small habits can help your body get back on track.

Try keeping a consistent bedtime tonight, getting outside for some daylight, moving your body during the day and limiting caffeine later in the afternoon. These simple sleep hygiene habits can help restore your energy and support better sleep.

Taking care of your sleep is an important part of your overall health. If you need support, start the conversation with your primary care team.
