Talk to Vicky, RHN

Talk to Vicky, RHN "The big hurdle in most peoples’ lives to breaking the pattern of dietary choices, is familiarity. For more detailed information visit the website.

Vicky’s journey started when she noticed that certain foods were affecting her toddler’s behaviour. Through that experience, she discovered it is not trendy “diets” that bring health, but a solid foundation in nutrition which establishes a structure for lasting healthy results. Vicky is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and owns a supplement store and clinic through which she operates her nutrition practice. She works with individuals to guide them on their health journey, and teaches them how and why nutritious foods will benefit them directly. Over the years, Vicky has provided many services such as personal consultations, and hosting various talks and workshops. She is very excited about her new program “Memory Method Program”. It is for any stage of life, and she will focus on how diet can affect brain health and mobility. www.vickyhachey.com

As we age, strength training isn’t just about muscles — it’s about preserving independence, balance, memory, and vitality.

Building muscle improves blood flow to the brain, supports insulin balance, and reduces inflammation — all key factors in dementia prevention.

You can’t be too strong.

You can only be grateful you started.

What holds you back from starting a weight resistance routine?
What excuses do you keep telling yourself?
No time, no energy, no motivation, not sure what to do or how to do it?

Let me know in the comments if you been wanting to start a weight resistance routine and not sure how to begin.

My grandfather was born in the year 1900. He was too young for the First World War. The Second World War he was too old.

My father in law served during the Korean War on the Haida ship that is parked in the Hamilton harbour. He worked as the ships cook in the galley.

Today, I have nephews who are serving in the military. I am grateful for the men and women who have and are serving our country, so we can experience the freedoms we have today. 🌺

"Listen to your body when it whispers, so you don't need to listen to it scream."

This is a powerful reminder from Caroline Farquhar, my guest on this weeks episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN, 'A Total Approach to Wellness'

Those "whispers" often sound like feeling tired or run down, tossing and turning at night, or waking up groggy.

In our busy lives, we're tempted to push through. But what if we just... listened?

Honoring your body can be as simple as going to bed early when you feel run down or taking a 15-minute nap at lunch to help you focus in the afternoon. It's those little things that make a big difference.

In my recent episode, Caroline and I explore how these whispers are often signs that our stress, sleep, and immunity are deeply connected. We discuss simple, natural solutions to help you finally rest, recharge, and boost your body's defenses.

Take a moment and have a listen to Episode 043.

What's one "whisper" your body has been sending you this week?

11/06/2025

If you could take a moment to help me out.

I'd like to do a survey.

I am planning an in person women's event in the Spring with the focus on Midlife Menopause and Memory.

This will be in the Hamilton area.

First Question: Does that interest you...Type YES in the comments.

Second Question: because our time together can be packed with information. Would you prefer an evening event through the week or a Saturday morning event with light refreshments, lunch to have more discussion time together.

Please let me know in the comments if this is something that would interest you by typing YES and would an evening work best or a Saturday morning workshop style be more beneficial

I really would appreciate your response and feedback as I take next steps to bring this all together. 💕

Have a great rest of your day.

"Don't burn the candle at both ends. It's not worth it. Take a moment to stop and listen to your body. Allow some time to rejuvenate." - Vicky Hachey, RHN

This is my core philosophy, but in our busy lives, it's so much easier said than done.

When we're constantly burning that candle, our body's "whispers"—like tossing and turning or feeling groggy—can quickly turn into "screams" of exhaustion, high stress, and a run-down immune system.

That's why I'm so excited about the brand-new episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN," where I sit down with Caroline Farquhar, Medical Advisor at CanPrev. We talk about how to finally stop this cycle and how to actually rejuvenate.

We explore the deep connection between your stress, your sleep, and your immune health and share simple, natural solutions to help you find balance. We cover:
1. An instant calming technique called "VU Breathing"
2. How supplements like magnesium, ashwagandha, and reishi mushrooms can support rest and immunity
3. Why good sleep is your immune system's absolute best defense

Listen to Episode 043, out today, and learn how to truly rest and recharge.

If you’re struggling to unwind at night, the problem might be what you're watching.

Watching the news right before bed or scrolling through your social media feed can be causing you stress and difficulty to unwind.

Instead, try creating a relaxing sanctuary. My guest on the new "Talk to Vicky, RHN" episode, Caroline Farquhar, suggests focusing on:

A comfortable room temperature and cozy bedding.

Relaxing aromatherapy, like lavender.

Gentle activities like meditation, yoga, or stretching to ease you into rest.

If you're still tossing and turning after improving your sleep hygiene, you might need extra support. In the full episode, Caroline and I discuss how natural supplements can help. We explore:

The benefits of magnesium and ashwagandha for relaxation.

The difference between CanPrev's Sleep Restore (with ashwagandha, no melatonin) and Sleep Reset (with melatonin) to help you find the right fit.

Is your anxiety a racing mind that won't shut off, or is it a physical feeling, like heart palpitations?

It's a key distinction, and it can change how you find relief. In the new episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN," I share the simple way I explain the difference to my clients:

"Thinking" Anxiety (racing thoughts): GABA can be helpful to quiet the mind.

"Physical" Anxiety (heart palpitations): L-Theanine can help calm the physical sensations.

My guest, Caroline Farquhar (Medical Advisor at CanPrev) , confirms this simple breakdown. We discuss how these supplements are non-habit-forming and perfect for those high-stress moments—like a big meeting or interview—when you just need to settle your nerves.

Listen to Episode 043, out today, to learn more about how to balance stress hormones and understand the deep connection between stress, sleep, and immunity.

If your blood sugar shoots up after a meal, it's a major sign that your cells aren't able to receive that sugar effectively. This is a key indicator of insulin resistance, and as bestselling author Julie Daniluk explains, "If you're insulin resistant, you are inflamed".

Why is this so important? Those constant insulin spikes encourage your body to store fat around your vital organs (like your liver, pancreas, and heart), which is the most dangerous type of fat and can accelerate aging.

This isn't about fearing all carbs—it's about understanding how processed carbs impact your body.

In the new episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN," Julie Daniluk and I discuss two simple ways you can get a clearer picture of your metabolic health:

1. Use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): It gives you real-time data on how specific foods affect your blood sugar.

2. Check Your Waistline: Use it as a guide. For women, the goal is a waistline below 35 inches, and for men, less than 40 inches.

We're always told that exercise is the answer, but what if your intense workout is actually fueling inflammation? It’s true. While movement is essential, exercise can also be a source of "mechanical pain" if we aren't careful.

In the brand-new episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN," bestselling author Julie Daniluk breaks down the three types of pain that cause inflammation. When it comes to exercise, she warns that if we don't properly warm up, cool down, and (most importantly) treat injuries, that mechanical pain can compound over time, leading to issues we nurse for decades.

But that's just one piece of the puzzle. We also dive deep into the other two types:
1. Chemical Pain: Caused by nutritional deficiencies and excesses.
2. Emotional Pain: How our emotional health impacts our physical healing.

Have a listen to Episode 42 to learn how all three types of pain are connected to your gut health, hormones, and overall inflammation.

Have you ever felt more inflamed or tired after a workout? Let's talk about it!

10/22/2025

Did you know inflammation can be life-saving?

It's your body's natural, powerful response to fight off an infection. The redness, heat, and swelling are all signs that your immune system is doing its job.

But here’s the problem: that response is supposed to be short-term, resolving in 7-10 days.

When "stealth infections" (like Candida, H. pylori, or Lyme) are flighting under the radar, your body stays in that inflamed state, and you never quite get well. This chronic inflammation is the silent driver behind so many of the issues we face, from fatigue and brain fog to hormonal imbalances.

So, how do you turn off the fire?

In the brand-new episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN," I'm joined by anti-inflammatory expert and bestselling author Julie Daniluk. We dive deep into the connection between gut health, hormones, and inflammation and share practical ways to heal your system with anti-inflammatory foods and natural remedies.

"What you eat shapes how you think, move, and feel. The right foods don’t just fuel your day—they nourish your brain, strengthen your bones, and balance your blood sugar." - Vicky Hachey, R.H.N.

This is the foundation of a total approach to wellness. Food isn't just fuel; it's information that can either promote health or drive inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is often the silent spark behind fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalance. But the good news is, it's reversible!

In the new episode of "Talk to Vicky, RHN," I'm joined by bestselling author and anti-inflammatory expert Julie Daniluk. We dive deep into how to use simple, science-backed habits to heal. We discuss:

1. How to balance your blood sugar with protein, fat, and fiber
2. The top foods that cause and reduce inflammation
3. Julie's favorite natural swaps for cravings
4. How gut health, hormones, and inflammation are all connected

“No one in their final decade ever said, ‘I wish I had less strength.’” — Peter Attia, Physician, Bestselling Author of Outlive,The Science and Art of Longevity

Strength is the currency of longevity.

As we age, strength training isn’t just about muscles — it’s about preserving independence, balance, memory, and vitality.

It doesn't always have to be this super heavy weight lifting training.

It does have to be weight resistance and it does have to be consistent.

Building muscle improves blood flow to the brain, supports insulin balance, and reduces inflammation — all key factors in dementia prevention.

You can’t be too strong.

Can I be stronger than I am today?.....Absolutely.

And the best time to start is now. 💪🧠
