I quit social media 6 days a week. I've been doing this for almost a year (with some slip-ups along the way). It's been really impactful for my overall wellbeing and mental clarity. Read my blog post if you want to learn more about my experience.
I don’t need to tell you about the negative impacts of social media on our mental health and wellbeing. This has been a much discussed topic in the news and in the medical research world. We have enough evidence showing that social media is not harmless. What I want to share with you is my own per...

The hormone insulin has an important role to play in your mental health. Insulin resistance is common--around 1 in 3 Canadians or more may have it. It's something that everyone should be aware of even if you are not diabetic. Click to read my latest blog post about insulin resistance and depression.
What do your blood sugar, cholesterol levels and triglycerides have to do with your mental health? They’re all quite connected, as it turns out. Gone are the days of us treating mental health issues as a purely psychological phenomenon. We now know that biological factors like inflammatio

L-Carnitine has been filling up our Tik Tok and other social media feeds a lot lately. You’re seeing it light up the fitness industry with strong claims about its ability to increase muscle mass and promote weight loss.

I'm a naturopathic doctor practicing in East Gwillimbury, Ontario (which is a lovable gem of a town). My practice has a strong focus on mental health - especially anxiety. That means I also spend a lot of time helping my patients with related issues like insomnia, digestive issues, hormonal problems and skin issues.
I'm not a health extremist which means you won't find me recommending rigid diets and mountains of supplements. You will find me crafting plans for my patients that are health transforming but also reasonable, well rounded and rooted in science.
I love hiking, watercolour painting, history, spirituality and devouring fantasy books and movies (favourite author - C.S. Lewis).
My parents are from the West Indies and I was born and raised in Newmarket, Ontario. I love my Indian, Indo-Caribbean and Canadian traditions.
I've been married for 2 years to the best husband ever and we live in North York (but are thinking of moving back to York Region).
Issues that get me particularly riled up: fast fashion, unfair trade, excessive consumerism, throw away culture, unconscious racial biases and global + local gaps in health care.
I'm an introvert but I love the amazing, meaningful one on one interactions I get to have with my patients every day in my work!
