Bell Hooks had a divine voice.
Her message is consistent. Love, and more specifically love for Black women, is absolutely necessary for collective moral salvation.
Her work will not be forgotten.

Therapy thoughts. My 80- year old therapist is the wisest woman I’ve ever met. She asks me questions I’ve never thought of. And she pushes me to be a better person, for myself. Not for work or external validation. Although inevitably it spills over to my practice.

I do daily health checks on Instagram a d Facebook stories. (Insta .healing_)
Sprinkle of naturopath advice + normalizing struggle + finding little ways to take care of ourselves = everyday healing.
Thank you to everyone that tunes in, does my quirky polls and commits to caring about how you feel every day.

9pm on a summer night and I’m lying in bed hiding from the world. First week at the new clinic. Today I talked to an RMT, chiropractor, acupuncturist, and two holistic nutritionists. And a spa manager.
My nervous system needs a rest and reset.
Friday night plans cancelled.
Do you get overwhelmed with lots of new people? I always need a little retreat.
But isn’t the clinic in a beautiful building? It’s an old church. Find me now at LiveWell Clinic Yorkville. I’m still in Pickering too.
DM to book appointments. I’m still getting set up but… weight loss or period pain. I’m your downtown ND.

Healing heartburn 101 
Conventional medical wisdom says if you have heartburn, take medication to neutralize stomach acid. 
Well, what if you don't want to do that. What if you desire adequate stomach acid to digest, disinfect, and help you absorb minerals? 
1. Try stimulating digestive juices before you eat. Maybe you need more, not less. Bitters, apple cider vinegar in water, and even lemon juice in water can help here.
2. Heal the stomach lining. There are herbs that help with gastritis (aloe, slippery elm, marshmallow, licorice). You can mix them up together or buy a combination product like Heartburn Essentials from Pure Encapsulations. Call Bari at BN Natural Foods, and he'll bring it in for you.
3. Digestive enzymes for large or decadent meals. Especially as we age, our enzyme production declines. Buy a full spectrum one - look for a bottle with a long list of enzymes. You may not understand them, but in this case, variety is the spice of life.
4. Eat regularly and not too much. Some of us have bodies that don't know when to expect food. This is problematic because stomach acid secretion likes to be on or off. Not constantly on - grazers, I'm looking at you. And not off and then ON - feast and famine eaters, I'm looking at you.  
Do you have heartburn? What works for you?

Do you need to charge your batteries? Here's how women relax.
I posted to Instagram stories two days ago, asking how you relax. So many of us are in fight or flight mode that we forget that we have a whole other side of us; one that exists in a state of ease, lightness and fun.
Here's what women said,
"I've been sitting outside after dinner and just look at the stars."
"Melatonin & w**d-infused gummy."
"Tea and Netflix with blue light blocking glasses"
"Hiking and being outside on a walk."
"Music and ma*****na"
"Dancing, jumping, and praying."
"Smoke w**d"
Reading my kindle. Glass of beer, if a hard day at work."
"No overhead lights and screens at least 1 hour before bed, calming "coffee house" music, journaling."

HEAL YOUR GUT. Feed your good bacteria without taking a probiotic.
A year ago, I had the pleasure of speaking with some gut bacteria researchers. They admitted that we know about 1% of what there is to know about the microcosm of bugs we have in our gut.
Fun fact: your gut bacteria weigh as much as your brain! About 3lbs.
Probiotics help some of us, but some of us don't see results. Try any one of these herbs to shift your gut bacteria, fight inflammation, and heal leaky gut.
Swipe for suggestions.

What happened to you?
So many of us feel defective like there's something wrong with us. We search for a diagnosis, a pill, a guru to make it make sense.
We can't figure out why we're stuck with the same old health challenges. Why can't I eat healthier? Why can't I stick with an exercise routine? If only I were better in some way.
We don't take a step back and look at our lives and consider what we've had to endure. The pain and loss that is so inevitable in the human experience.
This isn't about being a victim, but it is about offering ourselves deep compassion and understanding when we trip and fall.
Even if we didn't have major trauma in our lives, we have all received toxic messages around who we are "supposed" to be.
The story of your life matters. You can make a change whenever you want but often, to know where we're going, we have to be willing to look at where we've been.
"How to do the work" Book club starts June 7/21.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOURSELF? Free everyday healing journal.
What bothers your digestion?
Why aren't you sleeping?
How much alcohol are you drinking?
Our minds are so jam-packed these days it's easy to lose track of ourselves. What helps us thrive and what drains our energy.
Knowing yourself and what you need to feel well is so important.
I've created this easy-to-fill-out journal. It just takes a few minutes a day to get a handle on what's going on for you.
Here's the link :)

Being a naturopath is the hardest thing I’ve done.
There’s no guidebook, so you have to figure out so much on your own. Thankful for my ND and health care friends.
I’m not a natural at business.
You hear a lot of emotional stories. The human experience is painful.
But this profession has helped me be authentic and vulnerable.
I live in alignment with what I feel is right, even when it’s hard.
And I learn so much about humanity and how similar we all are in our trials and tribulations.
It’s been a gift.
Yesterday was my 12 year anniversary from when I first started at CCNM clinic. Time flies.
