I won’t be representing Canada in the cross country skiing events anytime soon but I will be practicing next week anyways! 😂 That means the clinic will be closed next week so if you need anything stop by or call today!

What are the supplements that Olympians can take to help their energy and performance?

As long as they are NSF certified they can take:
-Creatine
-Protein powder
-Caffeine
-Beetroot powder
-BCAAs
-Electrolytes
-Omega 3
-Magnesium
-Iron, B12, D and Calcium (these are individually tested for)

So the thing is these can all be helpful even if you aren’t an Olympic athlete as they all have benefits for the general population as well depending on your health!

Talk to your healthcare provider about what you may need to boost your daily performance ☺️

Do you want to eat like an Olympian?

That would mean you would be eating 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight along with 12 grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight.

Also you want to eat those carbs before the big event starting from anywhere between 1-4 hours before. This will help to get the energy the body needs.

Afterwards is when protein and carbohydrates are needed to replenish all of your energy stores and rebuild what you have lost and do this ideally within 15-30 minutes after.

Also if your event is longer than 30 minutes then there needs to be carb intake during it to keep your energy levels up!

And don’t forget water and electrolytes to keep you hydrated before, during and after. Here is a homemade sports drink recipe:
* 3½ cups water
* ½ cup orange juice
* 2½ tablespoons honey
* ¼ teaspoon salt.l

Phew it is hard to remember all of this to be an Olympic athlete!!! But I am so cheering them on!!! 🇨🇦

Are you as into the Olympics as I am? If so, then you need to do this Qi gong shaking to wake up your circulation and get you moving!

I hope it makes you feel as good as I feel after it (but all in the name of getting back to watching more Olympics and judging all the events)! 😂

And if you aren’t into Qi gong, then just do 10 squats or move your body in some way every hour.

Fibre food choices!

I just wanted to give you a few options and the amount of fibre in them so you can easily get your total amount in during your day!

Oatmeal 1 cup = 5 grams
Almonds 1 ounce = 3.5 grams
Chia seeds 1 ounce = 10 grams
Raspberries 1 cup = 8 grams
Cooked lentils 1 cup = 15.5 grams
Whole wheat spaghetti 1 cup = 6 grams
Green peas 1 cup = 9 grams
Broccoli 1 cup = 5 grams
Apple 1 medium = 4.5 grams
Carrot 1 medium = 1.5 grams

This can give you some idea of what to add to boost up your fibre intake!

Have you started on increasing your fibre?

Trying out Smart Sweets for Valentine’s Day!
Got these at

I love that they have lots of fibre and less sugar than most snacks. These are great to hit your fibre needs while on the road but don’t forget your veggies, nuts and seeds, and whole grains on regular days.

Taste- 3/5 (5/5 for nostalgia although way too sweet flavoured for me but you might like that)
Nutrition- 3/5 (lots of fibre)
Overall-3/5

Have you tried these yet? And do you remember the 90’s snack or drink I am remembering? If so, let me know!

I know we all love our protein but I have also always loved fibre!!!

Fibre will keep your gut microbiome happy, makes you feel fuller for longer, stabilize blood sugar, and lowers cholesterol. This all helps in lowering your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

So how much do you need to eat in a day?
Well with so many people eating so much protein, then you want a 4:1 ratio meaning if you eat 100 grams of protein then 25 grams of fibre is needed (approximately since some people’s health needs vary).

The recommended minimum needs of fibre are:
Women- 25 grams
Men- 38 grams

Now if you haven’t ever eaten so much fibre, you will want to ease into it or you will end up feeling more gassy and bloated than you want too! So slowly work your way up to your recommended amount related to your gender or protein amount.

Let’s get going on the fibre! Just don’t forget to drink your water with it!!!

I love simple but powerful tools!

Salt is so very simple but so powerful! A study found that gargling can prevent colds and flus but also can decrease the severity! 🤯

Researchers used hypertonic saline (1.5% to 3% salt). They had people gargling 3 times daily for 15-60 seconds ensuring the solution reaches the back of the throat.

The study shows a 30% to 36% decrease in getting an infection. For those who did get sick, saltwater gargling reduced the duration of viral shedding by an average of 1.9 to 2.5 days.

Salt kills the virus, decreases the amount of virus that can infect you, and thins out mucus. So this is an easy win-win! Get gargling!!!

This is an oldie but a goodie (video) for anyone dealing with sinus congestion or head congestion right now!

You can do this with all the colds and flus going around but also for allergies. So enjoy this little routine!
