    Feeling Fatigued: 5 Reasons Why Feeling Flat Out Exhausted Isn’t Normal

 

Am I Experiencing Burnout? Three Things That Can Help You Get Your Life Back.

Whether you call it burnout, a meltdown, exhaustion, a nervous breakdown, overwhelming fatigue, or one of the 288 synonyms listed, one thing is clear, you are persistently tired. You wake up tired, you work tired, you parent tired, you go to bed tired and then you can’t sleep. When you finally do fall asleep, it […]

 

Can Normalizing Our Health Cause Harm?

Why Normalizing Our Health May Cause Us More Harm Than Good? We are all guilty of having the words – “but it’s always been like that” cross our lips, when we are justifying a health concern that someone has just pointed out is unusual, or ‘not normal’. How many times have we, or someone we […]

It’s Time to Pack the Fear of Fat Away

Why do we all fear fat? A little while ago, I saw a newscast that was sharing how exciting it was that ‘scientists’ have figure out how to make avocados low fat, have increased shelf life, and ripen faster. My question, why would we need low fat avocados? I also have other questions. What are […]

Bloating is definitely not normal! ⁠ ⁠ About a Bloating is definitely not normal! ⁠
⁠
About an hour after eating, our food should move into the small intestine.⁠
⁠
If that time for you coincides with pants feeling too tight, being suddenly tired, and the belly bloat, it is time to investigate further. ⁠
⁠
One of the most common reasons for belly bloating - is fermentation in the intestinal tract that develops gas - for some people this is exclusively bloating, others this triggers diarrhea, constipation, skin rashes, rosacea, and so much more. ⁠
⁠
Bloating after eating - definitely not normal. Curious about your symptoms and what digestive areas you should investigate?⁠
⁠
Check out my Gut Health Checklist linked in bio. This helpful tool can help you to narrow down what might be the cause of your bloated belly and so much more. ⁠

But is it normal?⁠

What if something we thought was normal was a sign that we ignored for a decade or more?⁠

Some common ones I see: not eliminating your bowels everyday, heavy menstrual cycles, bloating...all not normal.⁠

Is your B complex making you sick? It might be if it contains folic acid, the synthetic form of "folate", or vitamin B9 which is involved in mood, energy production, DNA repair and other tasks of "methylation".
‍
Ok, are you lost already?
‍
Methylation is a process in the body that does a bunch of things. Many of us have a genetic variation in an enzymes called MTHFR, yes, I know what it looks like, that help us make folate.
‍
Changes in our genome can affect this pathway and our health. Researchers have become particularly interested in the connection between MTHFR Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, or SNPs, and mental health. There is a link between these genetic variations and increased risk for depression, anxiety, autism and other mental health conditions.
‍
Dr. Christina Carew @healingme.nd is a naturopathic doctor and she's going to explain this all to us today. Christina is the co-host of a made-for-NDs course called Methylation 101 and has some amazing analogies for making sense of these pretty complex, but important concepts.
‍
She is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic medicine and focuses on chronic disease management: lyme, autoimmune disease, and environmental medicine. Dr. Christina practices in Toronto and King City and is a wealth of information.
‍
I'm so excited for this episode: methylation is something I bore my patients with in my practice a LOT as I see the connection between their mood symptoms, brain fog, and digestive concerns. As Dr. Christina says, that mental spinning, rumination, obsession and addictions can all be symptoms of impaired folate metabolism and impaired methylation.
‍
This is such an exciting topic and I'm so happy to interview someone who can lay it all out for you.

About a year ago, a patient said this to me in an About a year ago, a patient said this to me in an appointment and it resonated. ⁠
⁠
Each of us seeking out good health for ourselves, means that we provide examples for others. ⁠
⁠
Good health for ourselves, may mean extra space at a doctor’s office or hospital for someone who needs it. ⁠
⁠
Health for ourselves may mean more days or years with family members and friends.⁠
⁠
Health for ourselves may give us more energy, time and space to create change in the world, to teach others, to invent. ⁠
⁠
We are all connected directly and indirectly to one another’s energy, actions and behaviours.⁠
⁠
If we all lived our lives like BW suggested, could we make our world a better place to be for ourselves and everyone around us?⁠

We are strong and powerful when we unite together to move the world in a positive direction. 

I am so thankful to be surrounded by so many amazing and brilliant women who are my greatest supports, ambassadors and teachers. 

It’s time to dig in and help the world and one another heal. 

Thanks for the tag @nicolerayna72 💫
We have all said it....if only I had a little more We have all said it....if only I had a little more time.

Perhaps this wasn’t the wish we had in mind. (To be honest, mine looked a little more like winning the lotto). However, this is the way that our wish showed up. So, what will we do with it?

I don’t know about you, but the last 6-8 months have felt like a runaway rollercoaster. Where our opportunities to get off felt few and far between, and our momentum was simply creating more speed.

This feeling is familiar. I have felt like this right before 911, the North East Blackout, as well as countless Ice Storms and Weather events…. It almost feels like the universe has some course correcting way to shift us back and force us to slow down, reconnect with nature, reignite relationships and force us to find new ways to experience joy.

So instead of finding discomfort in being asked to slow down, (note: for me this feels very uncomfortable and unnatural), let’s take this opportunity as a gift and open ourselves up for some much needed healing, space to be creative and time for rest. 
I’m going to use these next days and weeks to share with you some of the things my family  has decided to do to recharge and reshift our focus and I look forward to hearing about your own. 
We have all asked for a little more time... now that it is here, how will we use it... #

💫This picture was taken by our Shaman guide James who lead us on a hike up bear mountain a 2000ft elevation gain in the Arizona foothills at the base of a vortex cluster in the Red canyon. ⁣
⁣
⁣
💫This image was our one stop on the way to the peak. We stopped inside, what he referred to as a birth canal of the mountain, because of its unique shape.  It service to those who visit is a birth place for new beginnings. ⁣
⁣
⁣
💫This cave is a large space at least 15 ft wide and high, that eroded over time they believe by water. Sitting inside the majestic cave provides you with a birds eye view of the world. You could literally sit there all day and never take it all in.⁣
⁣
⁣
💫 He asked us...why are you here? What do you want? ⁣

💫 What a big question... what do I want? My mind went blank. All I could do was look at Rod and smile. I had nothing I needed to ask universe for.⁣

💫 I am grateful to have found a wonderful partner that continues to stand by me through life’s twists and turns. ⁣
