So many menopause and perimenopausal clients I wor

So many menopause and perimenopausal clients I work with struggle with finding a primary care provider who can help direct their care here in Saskatchewan. I know this problem is not unique to this region because women all over the country may not know who to turn to if their family doctor retired#s as one example. There are many women I work with who haven’t had updated bloodwork in 2 to 3 years and although I can certainly help by ordering their blood work when it comes to ordering screening test, like paps or mammograms or uterine ultrasounds, it can create a real bottleneck in their care so I am now exploring different online and virtual care platforms that are not limited to this province where women will be able to access care from Nurse Practitioner and other medical professionals without leaving the province. Stay tuned as I learn more. I will share some resources with you. Let me know if this is of interest to you.#menopause #womenshealth #perimenopause

Today I had one of those full circle moments that makes you stop and reflect.

I ran into a patient who was one of the very first women to participate in our Thermography Clinic back in 2003. As I gave her a big hug and told her how good it was to see her, it suddenly hit me just how many years I’ve been supporting women’s health in this community.

For over two decades, we’ve helped women gain deeper insight into the functional changes that may be happening in their breast tissue and throughout their bodies. What I’ve always appreciated about thermography is that it gives us another lens through which to look at physiology, patterns, inflammation, circulation, and change over time, while empowering women to become more proactive and connected to their health.

But beyond the scans, the reports, and the appointments, what stays with me most are the relationships. Seeing women years later, hearing their stories, watching them continue to prioritize themselves and their health, is incredibly meaningful.

Supporting women through the many phases of life and health has truly been one of the greatest privileges of my career.#breastthermography #menopause #thermography #breasthealth health

Costco is dangerous this time of year. I went in for flowers and somehow left with a cart full of hanging baskets!

And while there are definitely some great finds and good deals at Costco… your omega-3s shouldn’t be bought in bulk.

Most fish oils are heavily processed and stripped of the naturally occurring polyphenols that help protect the oil from oxidation and support absorption at the cellular level.

The problem is, most people are guessing when it comes to their omega status.

You can’t feel your omega-6:3 ratio.
You can’t look at a label and know if your cells are actually changing.
And taking fish oil doesn’t automatically mean it’s working.

That’s why I always say:
Test. Don’t guess.

Comment TEST and I’ll send you the link to take your omega test and actually see what your cells are telling you.#balanceshot #testdontguess #omega3

If you wake up with a relatively flat stomach but

If you wake up with a relatively flat stomach but feel six months pregnant by the end of the day, you’re not alone. So many women in perimenopause and menopause are suddenly struggling with bloating, reflux, constipation, food sensitivities, and brain fog, and often get told they may have SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

Heading into Global this morning to discuss this important topic with Chantel, but this conversation goes far beyond “bad bacteria.” I’ll be sharing why I believe we need to stop looking at the gut like a battlefield and start looking at it more like a garden. Because in my experience, long-term healing is not just about chasing bugs. It’s about understanding why the terrain changed in the first place.

Hormones, stress, sleep, inflammation, motility, and the gut-brain connection all play a role, especially in midlife women. More to come after the interview.#menopause #naturopathicmedicine #perimenopause #bloating#sibo

Have you ever looked back on a moment you almost s

Have you ever looked back on a moment you almost said no to… and realized it became one of the most meaningful memories of your life?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about that.

Because when I look back on the experiences that shaped me most, they usually weren’t the moments that felt the safest, easiest, or most convenient at the time. They were the moments that stretched me. The adventures I almost talked myself out of. The conversations I was nervous to have. The opportunities that arrived before I felt fully ready.

And interestingly, psychologist Daniel Kahneman talks about the idea that humans don’t simply choose experiences. We often choose based on the memories we believe those experiences will create.

That idea really stayed with me.

Because maybe the most meaningful parts of life are rarely found inside predictability and comfort. Maybe they’re found in the moments where we trusted ourselves enough to step into something uncertain.

It’s made me start asking different questions lately.

What kind of memories am I creating with the way I’m living right now?

What experiences am I postponing because they feel inconvenient, uncomfortable, or uncertain?

And years from now, what moments will I be grateful I said yes to?

Curious if anyone else has had this experience:
What’s one moment you almost said no to that ended up changing your life in a meaningful way? #adventuretime #livelifebydesign #strongwoman💪 #storytelling #menopause

What mountain sheep and humans have in common is p

What mountain sheep and humans have in common is probably more relevant than most of us realize.

This weekend in Waterton reminded me how important community really is, especially right now when so many people are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stressed, burnt out, or like they’re carrying too much on their own.

Mountain sheep survive in herds because navigating difficult terrain alone leaves them vulnerable. Humans really aren’t that different. Whether it’s the stress of midlife, menopause, caregiving, business, relationships, loss, health struggles, or simply the pace of modern life, we were never designed to carry all of it in isolation.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned after 25 years in practice is that people often start feeling better the moment they feel seen, understood, supported, and connected to others who genuinely get it. That shift changes more than emotions. It changes the nervous system, resilience, perspective, and sometimes even the trajectory of someone’s health.

And this conversation is not just about women. Menopause may happen in a woman’s body, but it impacts partners, families, friendships, and entire households. Men need community too. We all do.

There was something really powerful about this weekend. The mountain air, the conversations, the laughter, the honesty, the slowing down, and the reminder that meaningful connection still matters deeply in a world where so much interaction has become filtered through screens.

Also, I’m fairly certain the mountain goats were supervising the retreat.

Thank you to Jody Crawford and Ava for creating a space where people could reconnect, reflect, and remember the importance of finding their herd.#menopause #womenshealth #mentalhealth #perimenopause

When the Women’s Health Initiative was halted in

When the Women’s Health Initiative was halted in 2002, everything changed.

Almost overnight, women became afraid of hormone therapy. And my office filled with women asking the same question…

‘If I don’t want to take hormones… then what do I do?’

What’s interesting is that I had just entered practice at that exact time.

So for the past 25 years, I’ve had the opportunity to get really good at helping women navigate midlife using a completely different lens.

Because what I started seeing clinically was that menopause was rarely just about hormones alone.

Women were coming in with weight gain, anxiety, brain fog, sleep disruption, bloating, inflammation, fatigue, mood changes…

But underneath it all, I kept seeing the same patterns.

The gut.
Inflammation.
Immune activation.
Poor absorption.
Microbial imbalance.
Stress physiology.
The gut-brain connection.

What many women don’t realize is that hormones do not operate in isolation.

Your gut influences estrogen metabolism.
Your microbiome influences inflammation.
Your nervous system influences digestion.
And your internal terrain influences how resilient you feel during menopause.

So this Wednesday evening, I’ll be delivering a free webinar hosted by Designs for Health where I’ll be unpacking the science behind the menopause gut connection and sharing the terrain-based approach I’ve used in clinical practice for the past 25 years.

We’ll talk about why the strategies that used to work suddenly stop working…
Why women can be ‘doing everything right’ and still not feel like themselves…
And what current research is showing us about the gut-brain axis, inflammation, immune signaling, estrogen metabolism, and symptom resilience in midlife. Comment GUT and I’ll send you the link. #menopause #naturopathicmedicine #womenshealth #gutbrainconnection

Something really fascinating happened after I disl

Something really fascinating happened after I dislocated my shoulder…

One of the things I started learning about in the rehab literature is something called cross-education.

And it basically means this:

Even if one arm is injured or immobilized… training the OTHER arm can actually help preserve strength and function in the injured side.

Researchers have shown that when you train one side of the body, both sides of the brain and nervous system are activated.

So even though my injured shoulder may not be moving normally right now… my nervous system is still receiving input through training the opposite side.

And that can help reduce some of the strength loss that normally happens after injury or immobilization.

I found this so encouraging because when you’re injured, it’s easy to feel like everything has to stop.

But the body is incredibly adaptive.

And this is such a good reminder that recovery isn’t only about the injured area itself.

It’s about supporting the whole system:
• nervous system
• inflammation
• muscle activation
• circulation
• sleep
• nutrition
• movement

And as somebody who teaches root-cause medicine and whole-body healing, I love seeing modern rehab science validating how interconnected the body really is.

So if you’re dealing with an injury right now… don’t automatically assume you have to become completely inactive.

There are often smarter ways to support healing while still supporting the rest of the body.#menopause #womenshealth #gutbrainconnection #mentalhealth #shoulderdislocation

When it comes to gut health, people often want a clear test or quick answer.

And while testing can sometimes give us helpful information, it’s not always definitive. In many cases, we’re looking at patterns: your symptoms, your digestion, and how your body is responding overall.

Things like bloating, gas, constipation, or irregular digestion are often signs of an underlying imbalance.

So rather than focusing on identifying one specific issue, the goal is to support the gut as a whole, essentially “weeding the garden” and creating a healthier environment.

That’s where real, lasting change happens.

Parasite cleanses are everywhere right now, and it

Parasite cleanses are everywhere right now, and it’s one of the most common things I get asked about in my practice.

But instead of asking “Do I need a parasite cleanse?”, I encourage people to start with thinking about their guts like a garden.

If the environment is out of balance (dysbiosis), it becomes easier for unfriendly microbes to take hold.

So if you’re dealing with bloating, gas, constipation, or irregular digestion, the focus shouldn’t just be on eliminating one thing. It’s about improving the overall health of your gut environment.

Support a healthy foundation first. Everything else follows.

Last year I attended this retreat at a time when I really didn’t have the time… or the bandwidth … I was preparing my mom’s celebration of life. And I was sad and heartbroken and exhausted. But I had committed to attending… so I went. And it changed my life in a way that’s hard to put into words. But what it gave me was the strength the re-enter my life and show up for my moms celebration of life in a way that didn’t seem possible. If you’re at a place in your life where you’re feeling at a crossroads and wonder what life might look like with a new perspective… come spend the weeknd exploring some new concepts. Because if you think this is the worst timing for you , it might just be the best timing.💗💗#menopause #gutbrainconnection #mentalhealth #perimenopause

Did you know losing teeth can have ripple effects

Did you know losing teeth can have ripple effects for your health, even 10-15 years later?

Every tooth lost can shift your oral microbiome, and believe it or not, that imbalance is linked to an increased risk of heart disease.

Dental health is about so much more than just your smile. It affects your whole body. Take care of your teeth now, and your heart will thank you later.

Check out the full video with Dr. Seema on my YouTube channel for more insight and tips to support your oral health.

We often think of a sauna as a way to unwind, but in midlife, it can be so much more.

As circulation naturally slows during perimenopause and menopause, supporting blood flow becomes essential. This is where sauna fits in.

It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what works for your body.

Because while there’s no shortage of advice online, true results come from understanding your unique biology and building a plan around that.

Curious if sauna could be a fit for you?
Start by experiencing it for yourself! Ask about it at your next appointment, or book online or through the app.

Dry mouth can often get brushed off as just an inconvenience, but it's so much more than that.

Saliva is more than just moisture. It’s your mouth’s first line of defense. It protects your teeth, helps you digest, and keeps your entire oral ecosystem healthy. When it drops, especially during menopause, the effects can add up, and they’re not always easy to reverse.

Noticing these kinds of changes early makes such a difference. Hormones, stress, even hydration, they all play a role. And for many women, menopause just amplifies patterns that have been quietly building for years.

In this conversation, I sit down with Dentist Dr. Seema Agarwal to go even deeper into what’s happening in the mouth during menopause and what you can do to support your oral and overall health.
