Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) once seemed the answer for many challenges experienced by middle-aged women. It was thought that HRT could protect against heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer, while improving a woman’s quality of life.

We are all beautiful snowflakes.
Unique. Differently shaped by both the way we are formed (our genetics) and our environment. Impacted by our journey through the lifespan. Changeable as we age. With specific paths and specialized patterns. Unlike any other.

We’ve noticed that a well-chosen botanical or nutraceutical anti-inflammatory supplement can significantly speed up the recovery process for some clients receiving physiotherapy. While Christine works on the mechanical and structural causes of your pain, let a Naturopathic Doctor address some of the functional and biochemical factors. This synergy is one of the reasons why practitioners at KIHC work so closely together.*
Naturopathic medicine is designed to address underlying causes of discomfort by assessing the entire person. A well developed plan can take an hour or two to create. But we understand that sometimes, all you want is a little bit of targeted support with professional guidance
As a nutritionist, I get asked a lot about weight and what a ‘healthy’ weight should be. And I see a lot of angst about that particular number on the scale.
What you weigh can matter but only to a certain extent. There are many other more critical and relevant measures of good health.
Last Friday I was honoured to speak at Queen’s University as a panelist at a Preventive Healthcare conference. I encouraged delegates to more deeply consider the value of complementary and “traditional” approaches in preventing disease because, without it, our precious but over-stressed Canadian public care system won’t survive.
