Anti-aging is more than skin deep. Work with your cellular biology to slow down aging processes from inside out.

Top 5 Daily Detox Tips (That Work!) For Better Health

I love to learn, so daily detox tips naturally fuels my curiosity for fun research.

Hence, why after 8 years of naturopathic medical education, I decided to further my training and entered into a fellowship in Anti-aging, Regenerative, and Functional medicine. As a result, I became one of a few ND’s in North America board certified in this field, and recently spent a weekend at Harvard Medical School working with some of the brightest and most progressive doctors in the business.

7 Heart Blood Tests That Can Save Your Life

If you’re like most people, the suggestion of getting your blood taken may be less than appealing to you. That being said, having regular blood testing done is an important way to help prevent further pain and anguish down the road.  Cardiovascular disease continues to remain as one of the leading causes of death in North America.  Currently, 1 in every 3 deaths is from heart disease and stroke (approximately 2,500 deaths per day).  Cardiovascular disease is also very expensive–together heart disease and stroke hospitalizations cost both the USA and Canada more than $474 billion in health care expenses and lost productivity annually.

Looking to Boost Your Metabolism? Make Sure You Do This:

How many people do you know who eat healthy, work out at a ferocious pace, and are very health conscious – but continue to struggle to stay in shape?  This is actually much more common than you may think, and I see many people walk into my clinic who are just like this.  Can you imagine continuing at this pace for a number of months or even years – and not see any results? How frustrating would that be???

There’s a great saying by Albert Einstein regarding the definition of Insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”  If this sounds like you, it’s time to change your approach.
