Ever notice a week before your period you’re irritable, anxious, exhausted… but wired? Then suddenly, your period hits and you feel like yourself again?

That’s not just “stress” or being moody. PMS and PMDD are real, physiological conditions. For some women, hormonal shifts trigger nervous system sensitivity affecting mood, energy, and even confidence.

You don’t have to accept “two good weeks a month” as normal.

What is Collaborative Care? (And why your body appreciates it.)

At Natural Choice Medical Clinic, collaborative care means you’re not passed around like a clipboard. You’re supported by a team that actually talks to each other.

Your naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage therapist, acupuncturist, osteopath, counsellor, and even the admin team work together to keep your plan in focus.

Why this matters:
• Fewer gaps in care
• Clearer answers
• Smarter, more efficient treatment
• A plan that fits your real life, not just one symptom

Oftentimes our patients come in feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Collaborative care removes the guesswork. One team. One direction. You at the centre.

Because healing works better when everyone’s on the same page. (And yes, we actually read the page.)

Signs of microbiome imbalance!

Changes in the balance of microorganisms in the gut (also called dysbiosis) can show up in a variety of ways.

Gut-related symptoms may include:
▪️Gas
▪️Bloating
▪️Smelly stools
▪️Loose stools
▪️Constipation
▪️Bad breath

And sometimes it affects the whole body:

▪️Brain fog
▪️Skin rashes
▪️Anxiousness
▪️Fatigue
▪️Aching joints

This isn’t an exhaustive list and your symptoms may look a little different, because every person is unique.

The good news? The microbiome can often be corrected, protected, and supported with a functional medicine approach. The key is testing first, then building an individualized plan that actually fits you (not just a generic probiotic aisle guess).

If you’re dealing with ongoing gut symptoms and want to get to the root cause, we’re here to help.

Waking up exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep?
Have brain fog that makes simple tasks feel complicated?
Low mood or irritability for no clear reason?
Getting sick more often than usual?

This could be due to low Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels which is incredibly common (especially in Canada)!

Low Vitamin D can feel like:
Fatigue
Low mood
Muscle or joint pain
Weakened immunity

Low B12 can feel like:
Brain fog
Numbness or tingling
Poor concentration
Feeling physically weak

Vitamin D and B12 injections deliver nutrients directly into the muscle, bypassing digestion for better absorption. This help boosts levels quickly.

How injections at Natural Choice Medical Clinic work:

If you already have recent lab work with your D and B12 levels, let us know when booking your Initial Vitamin Injection appointment. This helps speeds up the process to but if you don't have labs, don't worry! Dr. Nikki can order testing for you.

Once levels are determined, Dr. Nikki will create an injection schedule for you to boost levels.

Why You Shouldn’t Stretch Sciatica (At Least Not Yet)

When sciatica flares, stretching often feels like the “go-to” solution but it can actually make things worse.
Sciatica is nerve pain, not tight muscles. Treating it like a tight hamstring can slow recovery.

Why stretching backfires early on:

Nerves are already irritated; stretching adds more stress.
Pain doesn’t always mean tightness, nerve irritation can feel like muscle tension.
Aggressive stretches can increase inflammation and prolong symptoms.

Stretches to avoid early on:
Hamstrings, figure-4/piriformis, deep glute stretches, long “nerve stretches.”

What helps instead: gentle nerve mobilization, or “nerve flossing.” Small, controlled movements help the nerve move without aggravating it.

If your stretches cause shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or lingering soreness, stop. Your nerve just needs a smarter approach.

Menopause can feel like a mystery novel you didn’t ask to read... here’s how to flip ahead to the useful chapters:

5 tips to help you navigate a menopause diagnosis:

1) Track your symptoms
Jot things down. Patterns matter, and they give your provider real clues instead of vague guesses.

2) Talk to someone who gets it
Menopause has nuance. A knowledgeable professional can help separate “normal changes” from “something else is going on.”

3) Consider lab testing
The right tests can offer insight into hormonal shifts and help guide a more personalized plan.

4) Ask your mother (yes, really)
Family history can hint at timing and symptom patterns. Turns out, Mom may have some useful intel.

6) Don’t settle for a mislabel
Being told “it’s just stress” or “that’s normal” can delay real progress. The right care helps you move forward sooner.

Did you know we have several naturopathic doctors who focus specifically on supporting women through perimenopause and menopause? You don’t have to white-knuckle this phase of life.

When you’re ready to feel like yourself again, we’re here.

On Monday!

You know that moment when your doctor says,
“Your numbers are a bit high, but nothing to worry about yet”?

Not high enough for medication.
Not low enough to ignore.
Just… borderline.

Borderline cholesterol.
Borderline blood sugar.
Borderline weight changes that don’t respond the way they used to.

And you’re left wondering what to do with that information — if you’re supposed to change something now, or just wait until it becomes “official.”

We see this all the time.

People who are doing their best — eating reasonably well, staying active, juggling work, family, stress — yet feeling more tired than they should. Weight feels harder to manage. Energy dips mid-afternoon. Labs slowly creep in the wrong direction, even though nothing dramatic has changed.

Oftentimes our patients say:
“I don’t feel sick… but I don’t feel well either.”

That’s where metabolic health lives — in the space before a diagnosis.
And it turns out, that space matters a lot.

Metabolic health influences:
• How your body uses energy
• How well you regulate blood sugar
• How your heart and blood vessels age
• How resilient you are long-term

It’s not about chasing perfect numbers or extreme protocols.
It’s about understanding what your body is quietly asking for now — so you’re not forced into reaction mode later.

That’s exactly why we’re hosting our upcoming live practitioner-led webinar on metabolic health.

We’ll talk about:
• What metabolic health actually means (in real-life terms)
• Why “borderline” labs deserve attention, not panic
• How blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, and family history fit together
• Practical ways to improve health span and longevity — at any age

If you’ve ever thought:
“I want to be proactive, I just don’t know where to start,”
this conversation is for you.

No judgment. No scare tactics. Just clarity, context, and a better understanding of what’s happening inside your body.
