The most common solution given to women for menstr

The most common solution given to women for menstrual complaints is the birth control pill. This however does not correct the root cause of your symptoms but rather shuts down your hormonal system and provides you with synthetic hormones instead.
There are risks and side affects involved in starting the birth control pill that are often not adequately discussed and explained.
Common side effects include:
➡️ weight gain,
➡️ low libido and
➡️ mood swings.

There are other options to address your symptoms. At Sage Naturopathic Clinic our Naturopaths do a thorough assessment of your hormones to determine the specific hormonal imbalances in your body. From there we recommend botanical supplements and if needed bioidentical hormone replacement.

September is World Alzheimer’s month. So we’re

September is World Alzheimer’s month. So we’re sharing some research backed tips for how you can take care of your brain.
Did you know that cognitive decline diseases such as Alzheimer’s start to form about 20 years prior to symptoms appearing. So how can you help keep your brain healthy?
1. Mental activities such as puzzles, sudoku, chess, and crosswords. Try to recall information such as phone numbers whenever you can.

2. Stay active! Physical activity is vital to brain health. Exercise encourages neurogenesis (neuron creation) and also releases brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF plays an important role in the maintenance and growth of nerve cells.

3. Nutrition! Focusing on lean meats that help keep blood sugar low and a variety of fruits and vegetables… especially leafy greens, is super important for brain health. Sometimes food can’t give us enough, so supplements such as can help ensure we get adequate levels of nutrients to support our brain. Did you know that low levels of essential fatty acids is associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease? Consider taking omega-3s, B12, Curcumin, and CoQ10+PQQ, check our online store at the link in our bio for our personal favourites!

4. Sleep! This is when your brain recovers and solidifies memories. Aim for 8 hours a night and keep it consistent with sleep and wake times. Eating a big meal can also disrupt our brains ability to maximize benefits of sleep, try to have your last big meal 4 hours before bed. And our phones… try to limit screen use for minimum 30 minutes before sleep!

5. Socialize. Research shows that socialization has a big impact on mental health and our brain health as well. Share a meal with a friend, volunteer or join a class!

Keeping your brain healthy is keeping yourself healthy!

As we continue to adjust to being back to school,

As we continue to adjust to being back to school, Dr. Danielle is sharing some helpful tips to supplement for success!

Oftentimes, returning to school can be a good opportunity to reintroduce some health-supportive habits, or to start some new ones! When it comes to supplementation, being selective is always best, especially when it comes to kids. The following are 3 baseline supplements that have broad-acting effects to support general wellbeing in children, predominantly for:
⚡️ digestive,
⚡️ immune,
⚡️ mood, and
⚡️ nervous system support – all of which can play a large role in supporting your child’s health, happiness...and with back to school, their learning.

💊Probiotic
👉 Supports the health of our gut which is critical for overall health – It all begins in the gut!
👉 Helps regulate immune and nervous system function as well as mood
👉 It is hard to get the healthy bacteria we need through our diet and environment because of modern food practices and sterilization
👉 Could be multi-strain or strain-specific depending on the desired effect.

💊Vitamin D
👉 Essential in so many processes, including the modulation of our immune cells and neurotransmitter activity
👉 More time spent indoors means less exposure to sunlight which is necessary for the production of vitamin D – fall is a good time to start supplementing
👉 Always best to test and not guess to determine baseline and appropriate dosage

💊Fish oil
👉 Great source of omega-3 fatty acids which help modulate the immune system and support mood
👉 DHA specifically is crucial for brain development and function in children
👉 Typical dosage is 500-1000mg per day.
