Oh stress. We can’t get away from it! In fact, some stress is actually a good thing - it keeps us alert, helps us perform, and it feels good!

But when we take on too much, or we aren’t balancing it with rest it can spiral into chronic stress and burnout (which certainly does not feel good).

One of the best methods for preventing burnout is to know your signs of stress and intervening before it becomes chronic.

I’ve been deep in habitual burnout, but I’m managing now! Where are you on the burnout spectrum? Let me know below 👇

Hi 👋 I'm Dr. Jenna!

My mission is to help you live a life that you love. I want you to shed the pressure and stress in your life to become your best self. I want you to feel awesome in your body, have a clear mind and have abundant energy.

How do we do that?

🌟 We start by optimizing the foundational pillars of health - nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, digestion, breathe and community.

🌟 We get you a proper assessment. As we discuss your primary concerns, we complete a physical exam and run bloodwork and other diagnostics as indicated. Now we understand more deeply where your body is at and where your symptoms may be coming from. This gives us a wonderful starting point for treatment.

🌟 Finally, we get clear on how your heart is. And I don't mean the beating heart in your chest (that's addressed in the previous step). We explore your purpose, what brings you joy and what your real life looks like, outside of your work and obligations. I want you to connect with yourself, and explore what is serving you well in your life, and perhaps what is not.

I believe that wellness is so much more than eating the "right food" or having the most optimized supplement regime. It's about exploring your inner self, living in your integrity and doing what truly brings you joy. It's about meaningful connections, to others, to nature and to yourself.

The space we share also therapeutic. Here, you are seen and heard, supported and encouraged to rise to your best self. We have meaningful conversations, we cry sometimes, and we laugh a lot.

It's fun. And it's difficult sometimes. We don't get it right all the time. But the journey towards your best health and best self is something I want you to say YES to.

You deserve it.

And I'd be honoured to walk the journey with you.

🎉🌱 It's Naturopathic Medicine week! 🌱🎉

I believe that every person can benefit from a naturopathic medical approach to their healthcare, and here's why:

🌿 Addressing the root cause: naturopathic doctors are trained to take an array of seemingly unrelated symptoms and putting the pieces together. Once the root cause is identified, interventions are directed here so your body can move through the disease process and heal.

🌿 Individualized care: each person has a unique journey that lead them to this point in their life, and unique goals of where they want to go. Your treatment reflects this and is individualized to you.

🌿 Optimization of health: not only will you receive treatment to address the root cause of your concerns, but you gain insight into you health and well-being as a whole. This may includes lifestyle interventions for better sleep, choosing the best food for you or managing stress.

TRANSITION

🌿 September 1 always feels like a unwelcome guest in my home. It shows up unannounced, dressed in drabs, bringing gifts I do not wish for. Return to school, routines and dark rainy days. I am forever in denial that the warm weather and lightheartedness summer offers must come to an end. This season change seems especially difficult this year, perhaps because 2020 has already felt like a blur of transitions and pivots. The fatigue of always adapting is setting in.

I've spent the last few days reflecting on what I'd like this season to be. How can I welcome it into my life, rather than my usual pushing away. Setting intentions and goals has always helped me focus and to ease the anxiety of changes. For the first time in what seems like a lifetime, I am not returning to school and have the freedom to create my own routine. I am now one month into my naturopathic medical practice (!). I'm prioritizing creating connection with those around me. My intentions for the fall are to continue to cultivate and grow these things. My goals include: creating content for IG and launching my website, re-instating a movement routine and reeling in the food and alcohol indulgences of the summer (yes, even NDs indulge). Furthermore, my goals include spending more time in nature and connecting with myself. I can feel myself leaning in and trusting where this next season will take me. I invite you to do the same.

🌿 So, welcome September 1. I look forward to redefining our relationship and seeing what we can create.

How do you manage transition periods in your life? If you are unsure, book an appointment with me and we can create a strategy together!

Ladies, this one is for you! The women wellness exam aka breast and PAP exams.

Honestly, I think that women wellness exams are one of the highest forms of self-care that you can do. An act to take care of your body, learn more about it and prevent disease.

BREAST EXAM:
While self or clinical breast exams are no longer recommended for detection of breast cancer, it is still recommended that women (and men) become familiar with their breast tissue. Regular self-examinations get you acquainted with your healthy tissue and how it changes throughout your menstrual cycle. This way, if there are changes you will be the first to know! Most lumps aren't cancerous, but always consult with your health care provider for further evaluation. Having a clinical breast examination can be helpful to learn proper technique for self-examinations and to confirm that the tissue is normal and healthy.

Mammograms are recommended every 3 years for women 50-74 years old with no known risk factors for breast cancer, and annually for women 40-74 years old with risk factors.

PAP EXAM:
I think the PAP exam is an example of our medical system nailing prevention and early detection of disease. Cervical cancer is largely caused by an HPV infection. The PAP test examines cervical cells for signs of dysplasia or cancer. A women's lifelong risk of developing cervical cancer is 1 in 168 (!). However, since the implementation of PAP exams, death rates have decreased by up to 75%. Cervical cancer is generally a slow developing cancer, leaving us with time for early detection and intervention.

PAP exams are recommended every 3 years for women 25-69 years old who are or have been sexually active. If you have any risk factors or have had an abnormal test result, your recommendations change - please consult your health care provider.

Yes, this exam has a reputation for being awkward and uncomfortable, even painful - but it doesn't have to be! We aim to create comfortable, empowered and educational exams for you. I invite you to practice this act of self-care as recommended. I offer women wellness exams in clinic - you can book online through the link in my bio.

VIRTUAL CARE:

Video and phone visits are available! To help increase accessibility during these times (& always), you can book an appointment from the comfort of your home, or whatever space you choose!

🌿 Why book a virtual appointment :
- no need to travel to the clinic
- fit an appointment in your already busy schedule
- access to care, anywhere in BC
- practice social distancing
- jumpstart your health anytime, anywhere!

I'm in clinic Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I'd be thrilled to see you in whatever appointment type is best for you.

Did you know, naturopathic doctors can perform acupuncture?

Using Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, various ailments can be addressed:
- anxiety and depression
- fatigue
- pre-menstrual syndrome
- peri-menopausal symptoms
- digestive concerns
- addiction
- and so much more

Furthermore, using acupuncture needles, we can address musculoskeletal concerns including:
- muscle pain and tightness
- generalized body pain
- headaches
- bonus: we can add cupping to your treatment for even more relief

More bonus! Acupuncture treatments are typically 25-40 minutes, which means you get a chance to lie down for some quiet time in the middle of the day. Quiet time to reflect, meditate, have a cat nap? This opportunity for a rest is therapeutic in itself. 💚

Acupuncture is one of my favourite treatment modalities! Let's find out how it can benefit you.
