Food is more than fuel.

It can be comfort, distraction, celebration, protection — and sometimes the only way we’ve learned to cope.

At Natural Route Health, we’re opening up a compassionate conversation about emotional eating — especially for women navigating medical conditions where food choices can feel overwhelming or restrictive.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s not about “good” or “bad” foods.
And it’s not about ignoring medical needs.

It’s about:
✨ Healing your relationship with food
✨ Understanding emotional expression through food
✨ Seeing nourishment as support — not punishment

Join us for a gentle, insightful talk where we explore how our feelings show up in our eating patterns, and how we can build a healthier, more supportive relationship with food and ourselves.

You deserve nourishment — physically and emotionally. 🤍

Embracing Rest

Maybe the most radical form of self-love is regulating your nervous system. 🧠✨

When we live in a constant state of "fight or flight," our health, mood, and relationships take the hit. True healing starts when we stop fighting our biology and start listening to it.

Rest is not laziness. It’s recovery.

Saying no is not selfish. It’s a boundary.

Needing support is not weakness. It’s human.

If you’ve felt like your body is working against you lately, take a breath. It’s not an enemy; it’s asking for care. 💜

At NRH, we canhelp you move from survival mode back into a state of growth and repair.

Dai Mai / Girdling Vessel

Do you experience any of the following:

☑️ Bloating?
☑️ Back pain?
☑️ Abnormal vaginal discharge?
☑️ Cold feet but warm upper body?

You may have a restriction in a meridian that encircles the waist, called the Dai Mai / Girdling Vessel.

The Dai Mai / Girdling Vessel is one of the deep meridians that is formed in utero. Picture a belt around your waist - that’s the location and shape of the Dai Mai.

Our acupuncturist, Laura Burns, is trained to assess any constrictions in this meridian through pulse diagnosis (yes, she will feel your pulse and be able to know if there are restrictions in the Dai Mai!) - and then choose acupuncture points accordingly.

How does the Dai Mai get blocked or restricted?

More acute ways include:

→ Slips and falls
→ Back injuries
→ Abdominal surgeries

More common ways include:

→ Sitting at a desk too long
→ Digestive issues such as IBS

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, or simply curious to learn what your pulse has to say, our acupuncturist Laura Burns loves to share her findings and educate her patients.

Did you know that we’re one of the only clinics in the area offering dedicated Naturopathic care for children?

Supporting kids’ health is a very meaningful part of what we do. We’re also grateful that many Naturopathic colleagues in our community trust us enough to refer families to our clinic.

Parents commonly bring their children in for support with:
• frequent colds, flus, or ear infections
• digestive concerns (tummy aches, constipation, food sensitivities)
• allergies, eczema, or asthma support
• sleep challenges
• low energy or nutrient deficiencies
• anxiety, stress, or emotional wellbeing
• attention and focus concerns
• immune system support during the school year

Our approach is gentle, evidence-informed, and always tailored to the child and family — with a focus on nutrition, lifestyle, and age-appropriate naturopathic treatments.

Children at our clinic are cared for by:
✨ Dr. Alanna Kuhn, ND
✨ Dr. Ramnique Ubhi, ND

We’re honoured to support families in our community and to be a trusted referral option for children's naturopathic care 💜

Cancer care can be more than just treatment — it can be supportive, individualized, and whole-person.

At Natural Route Health, Integrative Cancer Care combines evidence-informed natural therapies alongside standard oncology treatments to support patients at every stage of their journey.

✨ Our approach may help to:
• Reduce treatment-related side effects
• Support energy, strength, and immune function
• Care for mental and emotional wellbeing
• Enhance recovery after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation
• Promote long-term health and wellness

Integrative care is not about replacing conventional treatment — it’s about supporting the whole person, body and mind, during and beyond cancer care.

💬 In session, I hear stories like these again and again:

A woman shares that s*x has been painful since giving birth. When she brings it up at her six-week checkup, the provider brushes it off with: “That’s normal—your husband will just need to be patient until you’re ready again.”

👉 The focus isn’t on her pain, but on when she can “resume s*x” for her partner.

Another client tells me she’s lost interest in s*x after years of exhaustion and stress. Instead of asking about her mental health or what intimacy means to her, she’s told: “You should try harder—your husband has needs.”

👉 Again, the solution is framed around him, not her well-being.

These are not isolated incidents. This is a systemic pattern.

⚡ Women’s s*xual concerns are too often dismissed, minimized, or reframed as obligations to men. Pain is normalized. Low desire is pathologized. And women are told to fix themselves for someone else’s satisfaction.

But here’s what I want every woman to know:

✨ Pain during s*x is a health concern, not something to “push through.”

✨ Desire is complex, tied to stress, relationships, and body autonomy—not a measure of your worth.

✨ Sexuality is about your experience, your safety, and your pleasure—not just a partner’s satisfaction.

As a therapist, I remind women: your s*xual health is not a side project for your marriage. It is central to your quality of life.

👉 We need healthcare and therapy that centres women’s voices and asks: “What do YOU want intimacy to feel like? What would healing look like for YOU?”

Your s*xuality belongs to you. Not as a duty. Not as a performance. But as an integral part of your humanity.

🎉 Celebrating a Century of Naturopathic Medicine: OAND Centennial Gala

On Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) hosted a remarkable Centennial Gala at the Toronto Congress Centre, commemorating 100 years of regulated Naturopathic medicine in Ontario.

The evening commenced with a Fireside Chat moderated by Cheryl Hickey, delving into the integration of Naturopathic Doctors into team-based care to address healthcare provider shortages and enhance patient access across Ontario.

One of our team members, Dr. Alanna Kuhn, ND, attended the gala and had the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the province. Dr. Kuhn, has been a registered member of the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, and an active member of the OAND and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors since 2013.

This centennial celebration not only honoured the rich history of naturopathic medicine but also highlighted its evolving role in Ontario's healthcare landscape. Here's to the next 100 years of growth, collaboration, and healing. 🌿
