When should you consider a gluten free diet?

In celiac disease, the immune system attacks the lining of the digestive track.

For people with gluten sensitivity, the immune reaction can be anywhere in the body and cause milder, very non-specific and maybe even subtle set of symptoms .

Some food sensitivity reactions can leave you feeling:

Bloated
Tired
Brain foggy
Headaches
Joint aches
Diarrhea/constipation
Anxious
Depressed

You can always speak with your health care provider to discuss if this maybe be relevant to you!

Nebulized glutathione for smoke inhalation 💨

Many people are finding that the smoke has caused lung irritation, chest constriction, asthma, coughing or wheezing.

At METALAB, our Naturopath doctors can offer nebulized glutathione, which acts as a powerful and for the lungs, protecting the whole respiratory tract from oxidative stress.

Because many pulmonary diseases and respiratory related conditions are affected by deficient antioxidant status, poor oxygenation and/or impaired host defenses, glutathione is an excellent choice to support healthy lung function.

How does it work?

With a nebulizer, glutathione is delivered as a fine mist into the upper respiratory tract and lungs through a mask that covers the nose and mouth or delivered directly into the lungs with a mouth piece. Each nebulizer treatment takes between 15-25 minutes.

Book in a complimentary consultation with her naturopaths today to see if this treatment is right for you!

WHY YOU SHOULD TRY ACUPUNCTURE WITH A NATUROPATH!

Pain relief - Acupuncture can help relieve pain in various parts of your body, including headaches, back pain, joint pain, and more. It works by stimulating the body's natural healing response and reducing inflammation.

Stress reduction - Acupuncture has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels in many people. By targeting specific points on the body, it can help regulate the nervous system and promote relaxation.

Improved digestion - Acupuncture can also help improve digestion by regulating the digestive system and reducing inflammation in the gut. This can be especially helpful for people with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

03/14/2023

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER GOING GLUTEN-FREE

1️⃣ Most of the wheat (gluten) eaten today contains amylopectin A. This is a super starch worse than sugar. Of special interest, amylopectin A is a trigger of small LDL particles. When wheat is removed from the diet, these small LDL levels reduce by 90 per cent. Amylopectin digestion may raise blood sugar and insulin levels, causing an increase in triglycerides and cholesterol and leading to fat accumulation

2️⃣ Most wheat has been sprayed with the w**d killer, glyphosate. There is growing evidence linking glyphosate to cancer, endocrine disruption, fertility and reproductive concerns, kidney disease, heart disease, liver disease, microbiome disruption and neurotoxicity.

3️⃣ Most wheat contains a preservative called calcium propionate which has been linked to mood, behavior and attention problems.

Getting that extra push of glutathione 💉💧

Glutathione is an essential molecule produced by your body. It acts as a powerful antioxidant and it’s involved in different bodily functions like the immune system and tissue repair.

PreventionIsBetterThanCure Rather than just treating illness after it has already occurred, preventative medicine can PREVENT the illness.

Think about it - if we service our cars 🚗 yearly to prevent it from conking out, why don’t we treat our bodies the same?

Preventive medicine is a central principle of naturopathic medicine to promote health and prevent disease.

Naturopathic doctors practice preventative medicine by looking at your:

🥘 Diet and Nutrition
🤸‍♀️ Lifestyle interventions
💊 Herbal medicine and detoxification
📝 Health screening and monitoring

Seeing a naturopath can detect and prevent potential health problems early on and prevent more serious conditions from developing.

CELLUSKIN - Natural Healing & Toning

The Celluskin Shockwaves cause microtears in the connective tissues while breaking down the fatty deposits (also known as cellulite).

When the minor tearing occurs, the body automatically increases the amount of to the affected area as a means of healing. When the collagen goes to work and restores/heals the tissue, the injured tissue is replaced with a denser and more frame which creates a tighter tissue.

From the outside, the visible results are a more lifted and firmer looking skin.

By applying the correct amount of pressure and number of shocks at frequent intervals, the underlying tissue can be regenerated once the enlarged fat cells (cellutlite) are broken down.

12/22/2022

INTRODUCING…

✨CelluSkin - Reduce stretchmarks, cellulite, and tighten your skin ✨

Celluskin uses acoustic wave therapy used to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

It uses energetic sound waves that create vibrations to positively affect underlying connective tissues, cells and ultimately the skin itself.

While treating cellulite, this therapy also:
✅stimulates the production of collagen
✅ rejuvenation of connective tissue
✅improves skin elasticity
✅ gives a smoother and firmer appearance to the skin

To see a clear improvement, 8 treatments are necessary. These can be divided over 8 weeks, so 1 session per week.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗥𝗣 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
One of the most effective ways to stimulate hair growth is mesotherapy of the head skin with PRP treatment. With PRP, your growth factors and stem cells work together to reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicle and jumpstarting dormant hair back into the growth stage. PRP is injected into the scalp so that the growth factors can work to create and stimulate new hair follicles and revive existing ones.

PRP Hair therapy taps into the powers of mesenchymal stem cells found in human blood. Blood is drawn (similar to a routine blood test) and is spun in a centrifuge, where the PRP is separated from the rest of your blood. The highly concentrated PRP is injected into your scalp and topically applied, starting its work to stimulate the growth of hair follicles. PRP hair loss treatments once every six months is known to progressively help give rise to new hair.

🚨 TRENDING: Vitamin D can reduce severity and spread of COVID-19 🚨

Researchers performed a large-scale pharmacoepidemiologic investigation to determine the relationship between vitamin D2 and D3 supplementation and the risk of COVID-19 infection-related mortality

Overall, the study findings showed that vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 supplementation significantly reduced the risk of COVID-19 infection and death within 30 days. Therefore, the researchers believe vitamin D3 supplementation could be a valuable strategy for limiting the spread of COVID-19 infection and related death and racial differences in COVID-19 outcomes.

💧How Would IV Therapy Benefit Me?

Did you know IV Therapy is covered under Naturopathic Medicine in most extended health care?

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is an effective way to help you achieve faster and better results when it comes to your health.

By administering vitamins and minerals directly into the blood stream, we bypass the stomach overcoming any absorption limitations, which allows us to achieve significant pharmacological doses not attainable by taking supplements orally.

When this happens the cells are saturated with nutrients, promoting the healing and repair process to take place.

In this way IV therapy promotes optimal cellular function and also significantly improves the detoxification pathways by eliminating toxins from the body.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE vs. CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE 🧑‍⚕️

In functional medicine, we begin with a detailed history from preconception to the present. Functional medicine looks at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. It takes into account the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

Conventional medicine, on the other hand, looks at each organ or body system separately. It generally treats illness by masking symptoms with prescriptions, rather than getting to the root cause and healing the body as a whole.

Book with our Naturopathic Doctors to find out how root cause, functional medicine can help.

10/22/2022

Why you should consider functional medicine.

Chronic health conditions affect about 50% of all adults. Many people with chronic disease are on the autoimmune spectrum. This spectrum can range from acne or constipation, to fatigue, joint pain, to more serious autoimmune conditions such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Sadly, our current healthcare system is offering us very little to combat chronic illness including autoimmune conditions. Doctors prescribe medication to mask the symptoms and not treat the actual cause.

Functional medicine offers real solutions that can improve and influence our long-term health. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. It views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease. This is because each symptom may be just one aspect of an individual’s illness.

Chin Fat Melting Injections 💉

This client received one session of Lipolysis Injection.

Photos are taken 8 weeks apart; look at the jaw line definition!

WHAT IS LIPOLYSIS INJECTION?

Injection lipolysis is a treatment for double chin or chin fat that chemically reduces the number of fat cells around the injection site. The chemical, called deoxycholic acid, results in fat cell disruption and death.

Many of our patients see a noticeable difference in the amount of fat literally “melted away” from the very first session.

PICOSURE TATTOO REMOVAL - ONE SESSION 🖋

Client in photo has completed one session of tattoo removal with us. The picture is immediately after. After a few weeks, the tattoo will continue to flush out and lighten. 2 or 3 more sessions are recommended.

The Cynosure PicoSure™ laser has been considered the gold standard in tattoo removal

HOW IT WORKS
Picosure delivers laser energy to specifically target tattoo ink. The wavelengths from the laser breaks down the ink pigments into crystallized particles that are 100 times smaller than most other tattoo removal lasers, allowing the ink to pass through the lymphatic system and disappear from the skin.

It works on virtually any type of tattoo – including tattoos that are of black ink, multi-colored, stubborn, or previously treated.

HOW MANY SESSIONS
With PicoSure's advanced laser technology, your tattoo and tattoo regret no longer have to be permanent. PicoSure laser tattoo removal is fast and safe, with some tattoos being completely removed in as few as three sessions.
