Feeling a little off lately?

The bloating. The brain fog. The fatigue that makes everything feel just a little harder than it should.

We’ve run this every spring and fall for 17 seasons — because it helps people feel better.
Lighter. Clearer. More in tune with what their body needs (and what it doesn’t).

‼️ 20% off for the first 50 to register
💌 Daily email + video guidance from Dr. Leizl, ND & Health Coach Laura Hulub
🌿 Professional-grade supplements

If you’ve reached a point where your body isn’t responding like it used to—despite your best efforts—it might be time to ask different questions.

Join Functional Medicine Health Coach Gloria Vaughan for a free in-person workshop:
3 Overlooked Causes of Weight Loss Resistance in Women Over 40.

She’ll share a clinical, results-based framework to help you understand what’s really happening in your body—and how to move forward. No extremes. No guesswork. Just a practical approach rooted in physiology and real-world results.

Gloria has maintained a 30 lb post-menopausal weight loss for over 7 years and has supported hundreds of women using this same method.

The reality? Most conventional doctors aren’t trained in menopause care. Many openly admit they’ve received little to no education on supporting women through this major life transition. The result? Misinformation, confusion, and too many women suffering in silence.

🔊It’s time to break that silence.

That’s why we’ve partnered with local, women-led businesses to bring you The (M) Factor Screening—a powerful community event designed to educate, empower, and start real conversations about menopause.

✔️ Bust myths around hormone therapy
✔️ Gain tools & support for managing menopause naturally and effectively
✔️ Help raise funds for the Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region

Bring a friend, sister, or colleague—any woman in your life who could benefit from this important conversation. Menopause is a universal experience, and the more we talk, the more we learn and grow together.

Let’s ensure every woman in our community has access to the knowledge and support she deserves.

🔥 Menopause is a silent health crisis. Let’s change that.

For too long, women have navigated menopause alone—whispered symptoms, unanswered questions, and solutions that don’t feel tailored to their lives. It’s time to shift the conversation.

Join us for an exclusive screening of The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, a documentary recognized by top film festivals that finally brings real conversations about menopause to the forefront. After the film, a panel of expert practitioners who work with women every day will guide the discussion, offering insights and real strategies to help you feel your best.

🎟️ Your ticket includes:
✨ An evening of real conversations, expert insights, and strategies to help you thrive in midlife
✨ A chance to have your questions answered by experts who work with women every day
✨ Door prizes from our incredible local sponsors
✨ The opportunity to be part of something bigger—proceeds support Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region

👏 A huge thank you to the local businesses helping bring this conversation to Waterloo Region!

This weekend, amidst all the reminders to show love to others, we invite you to take a moment for yourself—to pause, reflect, and connect.

Tomorrow morning, we gather.

If you’ve ever been curious about Women’s Circles or simply needed a space to reconnect—with yourself and with others—this is your chance ✨

A Women’s Circle is more than conversation. It’s a space to slow down, share in a supportive environment, and expand the healing of connection. If you’ve been craving meaningful conversation and a moment to breathe, this is for you.

🔸Saturday, Feb 15 | 10 am - 12 pm
🔸In-Person at Functional Medicine Uptown | 109 Erb St. W, Waterloo

No experience needed—just an open heart. Guided by Aileen Sandoval, a facilitator with 20+ years of experience, this gathering is about presence, support, and restoration.

As a Karma Class, all proceeds will support Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region, directly helping women in need.

Take these two hours. Step into something meaningful. You might be surprised by what you find.

It is with deep sadness that we share the heartbreaking passing of our dear friend and colleague, Jennie Wiebe, and her beloved daughter, Zoe.

Jennie was a bright light in our FMU family—her kindness, wisdom, and warmth rippled far beyond our office and into the lives of so many. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and cared for, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

We hold Jennie and Zoe in our hearts and honour the profound impact they had on all of us. Our thoughts are with Jennie’s family, friends, clients, and all who loved them during this unimaginable time.

All of us at FMU are sending love to those who are grieving this profound loss 💛 If you feel called to share a memory of Jennie, we would love to hear and remember her together.
