Let’s get growing, Kingston! Loving Spoonful launches Urban Agriculture

Written by KIHC on February 5, 2021.

This excerpt is from the Loving Spoonful newsletter. We’re sharing it with you because, though challenging to see at first, our individual health is intimately tied to the health of our community and environment. Supporting local programs such as this one is part of our mandate and responsibility to you.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inequities and vulnerabilities in our food system – as well as the limitations of the “food charity” model for addressing food insecurity. Loving Spoonful has been thinking about these questions for a long time, since well before this current crisis:

Almond Flour Biscuits (gluten-free)

Written by Dr. Sonya Nobbe, ND on January 23, 2021.

These gluten-free biscuits continue to be one of our favourite family treats! They take about 5 minutes to prepare, are really forgiving with measurements, and the clean-up is pretty quick too.

The Fantabulous Five Fs of Healthy Hormones

Written by Trish Krause, Certified Holistic Nutritionist on February 28, 2020.

Adapted from Trish’s blog: Bite out of Life

So, we’re going through the ABC’s of Healthy Hormones and well, it seems I got a tad carried away with “F”…We have a whopping four of them as well as an ‘F’ recipe, so I’m counting it as five!

Today, we’re talkin’ Fibre, Fluids, Ferments, Fitness and for fun (see how I did that? LOL), the recipe of the week is Figs, Flax ’n Ferment. Phew.

To many, my ‘F’s’ are just a random list of ‘healthy things we should all be doing’ (and you’re not wrong!) but perhaps more importantly, they also relate to the removal of toxins – which is vital when you are looking at a healthy hormone system.

Have you tried the Snowflake diet?

Written by Trish Krause, Certified Holistic Nutritionist on February 1, 2020.

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.

Yep – snowflakes and humans have a lot in common. Which is why when I am asked “what diet is the best diet?” as a certified holistic nutritionist and wellness educator my answer is “the Snowflake diet!”

Fasting Mimicking Diet

Written by Dr. Angela Hunt, ND, MSCP on February 1, 2020.

Often when patients come to see a Naturopathic Doctor they ask, “What should I be eating”? They recognize that what they consume each day has a profound impact on how they are feeling and their overall health. However, when and how much they are eating may be just as important as what they are eating. What if one of the most impactful things you can do for your health is to actually eat less?

Why Your Waist Measurement Matters So Much More

Written by Trish Krause, Certified Holistic Nutritionist on November 10, 2019.

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.

Natural Prevention Urgently Required

Written by Dr. Sonya Nobbe, ND on November 10, 2019.

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.

The Ritual of A Cup of Tea

Written by Dr. Angela Hunt, ND, MSCP on December 1, 2018.

The Healing Power of Tea

I love tea. One of my favorite daily things to do is to make myself a cup of tea and take a moment to slowly sip it. However, when I first started practicing as a Naturopathic Doctor I gave little respect to the humble herbal tea. It was when I did a residency at a first nations health clinic in downtown Toronto that I truly learned the healing power of a cup of tea. In naturopathic medicine we often use tinctures, which are alcohol extractions of plants.
