Become the CEO of Your Health

09/09/2024

I am excited to share my latest blog with all of you - The Marg & Meg Story = The OSTEOSOUND Difference.

Two years ago, I made a very difficult decision to sell my clinic so I would have more time to pursue new things.

Although I truly didn't have an understanding of what the next chapter would look like, I felt a strong pull to do more and bring my years of clinical, advocacy and entrepreneurial skills to help create legacy change in our healthcare system.

For 30 years, Wallis for Wellness was all I knew. It was the "baby" that I birthed and grew over the course of 3 decades.

When I opened the doors to the clinic, preventative and integrative health was NOT popular or trendy. In fact, my vision of breaking down the silos in healthcare to encourage practitioners to work together and focus more on prevention instead of sick care was met with a great deal of opposition.

It was this resistance that fuelled me to continue to grow my clinic, network and skills so that I would be ready to take on a bigger role one day in this preventative health movement.

Well, the time is now here!

The last two years have been a wild ride.

I have accomplished one of my big dreams which was to launch and lead a preventative health movement that would get the recognition from Health Canada.

However, what I didn't know when I took that leap of faith in 2022, was that I would have the opportunity to reconnect with an amazing friend, Megan Buhrmester would introduce me to an innovative game changing technology that would result in a powerful collaboration that is now truly changing lives!

Together we are doing our part to contribute to the important Medicine 3.0 Movement

It’s a wonderful day for a new podcast episode! Episode 88 is now available!

Margaret Wallis-Duffy is a force to be reckoned with in the wellness community. After decades of caring for patients in her own private clinic, she headed up Preventive Health Awareness Month in Canada and continues the Movement to spread awareness for the importance of preventive health and integrative health. We touched on so many topics in this interview, including not only preventive health, but also the importance of traditional and complementary medicine working together to benefit the patient, and we started digging into some of the tools that can be used as part of the wellness toolbox to help our patients heal.

This interview marks the first of many conversations to come as Margaret and I collaborate to improve brain health in Canada and the United States and beyond.

Listen for the full story! This may also be one of those episodes you want to watch on YouTube, to see the discussion and explanation of how to use the dolphin Neurostim device!

THIS!!! ❤️

Please take the time to listen to this simple yet powerful message by Stefano M. Sinicropi, MD.

I knew within the first 5 minutes of my initial in depth conversation with this talented, compassionate and determined physician that our missions were aligned.

His passion and commitment to finding ways to encourage the investment in preventative and integrative health is admirable.

I have always said that what we do or NOT do today, will determine what we CAN or CAN'T do tomorrow. 💪🏻

We are in a crisis and it is long overdue ⏰ that we shift our mindset in healthcare from this pill for an ill, sick-care system to a more proactive and preventative one.

With chronic disease on the rise and it's increased prevalence in younger people, it is important to take the time to listen to Dr. Sinicropi's day.

Remember, a healthy tomorrow begins with prevention today!

What an honour to have the opportunity to share my passion for preventative and integrative health with Dr. Stefano Sinicropi.

It was refreshing to have an in-depth conversation with a talented physician who recognizes the importance of investing in practices that enhance wellness and prevents the worsening of chronic disease.

When passionate professionals from both allopathic and complementary medicine are open and willing to learn from one another, we can improve the outcomes of the patients we have the privilege of treating. !

I can't wait until the full episode is released on Thursday.

Perimenopause and Menopause are having a moment in the media and it is LONG overdue.

This has encouraged me to re-share a 3 part Hormonal Health series that I produced and hosted 10 years ago featuring Dr. Kristy Prouse, founder and medical director of The Institute for Hormonal Health.

This series was created as a result of my own health journey and my passion for sharing education using media/social media as the vehicle.

I have learned so much from my own experience but love to layer that with my clinical knowledge and my connection to a wide team of healthcare professionals who share my vision to help educate and empower people to take action when it comes to their health.

Check out my latest blog with a link to the video series.

Part 1 - Adrenal Fatigue
Part 2 - Menopause

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We are living in very challenging times right now and so many people are struggling mentally and financially. That is why we chose to collaborate with Global Coin Solutions, an innovative fundraising partner whereby foreign currency is repatriated back to its country of origin and converted into Canadian currency that can be donated to Canadian charities.

Sadly, on Thursday March 21st, it was discovered that our charitable Globe housed at North Bramalea United Church was broken into and all the foreign and Canadian currency was taken.

Whoever took this money can only use the Canadian money however the rest of the currency has no value to them but would have been VERY valuable to us.

Sharing this story today is NOT about finding out who did this but rather a call to action to the community to ban together and gather all your foreign currency from your bedside tables and stop by either/or North Bramalea United Church located at 363 Howden Blvd or Regeneration located at 156 Main St. North or if you are in Georgetown, drop off your foreign currency at Scorpios Himalayan Healing Salt Cave & Spa.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.

I felt it was time to share my raw and real story about my journey with this devastating disease in my blog below.

Although I felt SO alone while I tried to navigate this horrible disease that hijacked my life as a young girl, the stats of the women who are suffering in Canada are staggering!

Thanks to the incredible research and work of Dr Mathew Leonardi, the future looks brighter for women suffering with this chronic disease.

We have come a long way but there is still more work to be done.

REMS on the ROAD with Marg & Meg...Coming to a community near you!

Megan Buhrmester from OsteoSound and I are excited to share with you our mission to become leaders in both bone health analysis and preventative & integrative health education in Canada and beyond.

We are honoured to introduce the game-changing Echolight REMS Bone Scan technology to Canadians and emphasize why this new Health Canada approved technology (Class II medical device) is a game changer in the arena of osteoporosis prevention and management.

REMS stands for Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS).

The novel Fragility Score (FS) parameter, obtained during a REMS scan of lumbar or femoral regions, has been developed for the non-ionizing estimation of skeletal fragility.
According to this research, Fragility Score displayed a superior performance in fracture prediction, representing a valuable diagnostic tool to accurately detect a short-term fracture risk.

Be sure to check out the video below and read the blog https://lnkd.in/gHRJKiVK
as we discussed the latest research paper published in the
National Library of Medicine (NLM) authored by Paolo Pisani.

We also shared a list of all of our upcoming REMS on the ROAD mobile pop-up clinic locations across Ontario and soon to be Canada.
If you would like to host a clinic in your community, please reach out to us.

We are now expanding of our business beyond collaborations with health & wellness clinics and into corporations as part of workplace wellness programs. If you are a business owner or perhaps hold a position in the HR or Health and Safety department in a business, reach out to us to discuss our innovative, customizable and unique workplace wellness programs (digital and in person) which include on-site bone scan clinics to suit both your company needs and budget.

After all, musculoskeletal conditions are one of the most common health issues affecting workers which can impact the health of the bottom line of your company.

We even host "Bone Boutiques" - our in the comfort of your home bone scan service for everyday Canadians.

Lastly, we are also excited to continue to bring our Good Vibrations Tour, a complimentary educational and experiential campaign to promote bone health and falls and fracture prevention to senior and retirement homes across Ontario and Canada.

We are movin & groovin to help keep our seniors safe and healthy! Next stop on our Good Vibes Tour.....The BFit Centre in collaboration with Brock University
