Sweet Potatoe Lentil Soup

Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 1 cup chopped button mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped sweet potato
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (+ more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup green or brown lentils
- 1 cup red lentils
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup almond milk (or coconut milk depending on your preference)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 - 3 cups spinach

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large stockpot or dutch oven. Add onions and garlic, and saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the celery, carrot, potato, and mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes until everything softens slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and spices and cook, about 2 minutes.
2. Add lentils and saute 1 - 2 minutes, then add the broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir to combine and until the tomato paste has dissolved. Bring the soup to a boil, cover, and reduce to simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in almond milk, lemon juice, and spinach, and stir until the spinach has wilted. Serve immediately and top with your desired toppings.
4. For garnishes, I like to do a dollop of coconut yogurt, some fresh parsley, pepper flakes, cracked pepper and jalapeno slices. A little spicy, a little creamy and so good!

Vitamin D receptors are present throughout the brain, especially in regions involved in mood regulation. Deficiency has been associated with seasonal affective disorder, depression, and cognitive decline. Sunlight exposure stimulates serotonin production, while vitamin D itself modulates inflammation and supports neurochemical balance.

In the darker months, even brief daily outdoor exposure can make a noticeable difference. For many people, supplementation may also be needed to maintain optimal levels. We encourage you to consult with Dr. Nathalie to identify the vitamin D dosage that is best suited to your unique needs.

Les récepteurs de la vitamine D sont présents partout dans le cerveau, en particulier dans les régions impliquées dans la régulation de l'humeur. Une carence a été associée à la dépression saisonnière, à la dépression et à la détérioration cognitive. L'exposition au soleil stimule la production de sérotonine, tandis que la vitamine D module l'inflammation et favorise l'équilibre neurochimique.

Pendant les mois les plus sombres, même une brève exposition quotidienne à l'extérieur peut faire une différence notable. Pour plusieurs personnes, une supplémentation peut également être nécessaire pour maintenir des niveaux optimaux. Nous vous encourageons à consulter Dre Nathalie afin de déterminer la dose de vitamine D la mieux adaptée à vos besoins spécifiques.

Did you know your body has an internal GPS? It’s called proprioception — your ability to sense where your body is in space. Every time you balance, walk, or reach for something without looking, you’re relying on it.

When spinal joints or muscles lose mobility, your proprioception can become “foggy,” affecting coordination, balance, and even how your brain perceives your body.

Regular chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion and nerve communication, keeping your internal GPS clear and responsive — so you can move with confidence, awareness, and ease.

Our days are getting shorter which also means less sun exposure and in turn decrease our levels of vitamin D. Food is one way we can get in this vitamine. Here's an image to help you get an idea of which ones you can add into your day to day food menu.
