Are you experiencing heart palpitations?

Palpitations can feel unsettling, and while they can be associated with perimenopause, it’s important not to automatically assume that’s the cause.

Before attributing palpitations to hormonal changes, consider and evaluate cardiovascular causes.

Dr. Emma Pollon-MacLeod, ND is joined by cardiologist Dr. Behn Banihashemi to discuss some of the cardiovascular causes of palpitations and how they may be investigated.

One of the first things Dr. Behn looks for is an arrhythmia, an abnormality in the heart’s electrical rhythm. A Holter monitor can help track the heart’s rhythm over an extended period and identify abnormalities that may not show up during a routine appointment.

A cardiac ultrasound may also be used to assess the structure and function of the heart.

If you’re experiencing new or persistent palpitations in midlife, don’t simply assume they’re part of perimenopause. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and what evaluation may be appropriate for you.

What’s something you wish more women talked about? 💭

We put that question (and a few others) to guests at Reclaiming Desire, our first Women’s Health Series event. Their answer kept coming back to pleasure, and to the fact that we rarely give ourselves permission to talk about it.

Consider this your permission. 💜

Tell us what we should cover at the next event 👇

As doctors, it’s easy to say that we love helping people.

But what’s the deeper reason behind choosing healthcare as a career?

For Dr. Owen Wiseman, ND , it starts with his fascination with understanding why people get sick in the first place.

Growing up, Dr. Owen watched his mom, a children’s nurse for decades, help kids feel their best. Seeing the difference it made for both the children and their parents left a lasting impression on him, and inspired him to want to do the same for others.

But Dr. Owen’s approach to healthcare goes beyond simply looking at what’s happening inside the body.

Our health is also shaped by the environment around us, whether that’s our home, our workplace or even our daily commute. Understanding those factors can be an important part of understanding the bigger picture of a patient’s health.

For Dr. Owen, it’s about helping patients create a healthier version of themselves, one that can still hike at 85 and keep up with their grandkids in their 70s.

Now part of the NutriChem family, Dr. Owen is excited to have these deeper conversations with his patients and help them work toward the kind of health they want for their future.

𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘥. 𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴. 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥!”

Ever heard that before? 👀

The reality is a little more nuanced, so let’s unpack it.

Dr. Emma Pollon-MacLeod, ND is joined by cardiologist Dr. Behn Banihashemi to talk about how salt can affect your health depending on your individual circumstances.

Dr. Behn explains that for patients who are older, have elevated blood pressure, congestive heart failure, or other cardiac conditions, limiting salt can be especially important.

But for younger individuals, including those 30 and under or going through perimenopause, salt may have a different role. In some cases, it can help support blood pressure and may be helpful for symptoms like dizziness and heart palpitations.

So, is salt really the culprit? Not necessarily.

As with so many things in health, it depends on you, your health, and your individual needs.

“As much as we think we’re alone in these things that we’re dealing with, so many women are saying the same thing.” 💬

That was the feeling in the room at Reclaiming Desire: Where Science Meets Sensuality, the first event in NutriChem’s Women’s Health Series.

ICYMI, we spent an evening with three amazing speakers talking honestly about hormones, mood and mental health, and desire through every stage of womanhood. We had good food and great conversation, and a lot of women realized they’re far from alone.

Thank you to our speakers Dr. Sophie Pollon-MacLeod, ND Tamilynn Edwards | ClinicalSexologist, and Tatianna | Helping Women 40+ Trust Their Bodies , our sponsors I R I S 💜 and Ottawa Treatment Centre , and every woman who showed up. Stay tuned for what’s next in the series. 🌹

Are you experiencing heart palpitations in midlife? You’re not alone.

But how do you know whether they’re related to hormonal changes or something cardiovascular?

When a patient presents with palpitations, one of the first steps Dr. Behn Banihashemi MD FRCPC FACC takes is to rule out arrhythmias, abnormalities in the heart’s electrical rhythm, through appropriate cardiac testing.

Once cardiovascular causes have been investigated, there are still a number of potential factors that could be contributing to palpitations. This is where a menopause specialist can help explore whether hormonal changes may be playing a role.

The conversation then shifts to our CEO, Dr. Emma Pollon-Macleod, ND , who discusses some of the hormonal factors worth considering, including changes in your menstrual cycle, hot flashes and night sweats.

From there, the conversation can expand to treatment options, including the potential role of estrogen, while also considering other important things to look at, such as blood pressure, iron levels and thyroid function.

Ultimately, palpitations can have many different causes. The important thing is to investigate the possible causes and work toward understanding what’s behind your symptoms.

If you’re experiencing palpitations in midlife, let’s start the conversation and get to the root of what’s going on.

What. A. Night.

Running events is no small feat… but there is nothing that beats the experience of going through something, a life change or transition, or experiencing a symptom where you feel alone and like you are broken… and then watching as not only does someone on stage verbalize exactly what you have been experiencing, but you look to your left and your right and others are nodding their heads in agreement.

No amount of posts, appointments, or others telling you that it’s “common” will create the significant shift that moment can.

That is what community does.

Hearing and discussing an intimate topic in person. Discussing a woman’s anatomy and body from a place of power and information, with zero judgment. Purely for the sake of making sure we understand our bodies.

And most women do not.

Because we didn’t receive s*x education, or really, a lesson on how our bodies actually work.

This is why we do these events.

And this one was one for the books. ❤️

We're so proud to congratulate Dr. Harsimranjeet Singh, ND, on receiving the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors Emerging Leader Award.

Across Ontario, he's built collaborative relationships with fertility clinics, presented alongside physicians at patient education events, and delivered grand rounds to more than 50 physicians at The Ottawa Hospital. But here at NutriChem, we get to see something even closer to home: the care, curiosity, and compassion he brings to every patient who walks through our clinic doors. He takes the time to listen and to understand each person's story, and he works alongside them every step of the way.

His work is helping earn naturopathic medicine a seat at the table and open doors for the NDs who come next. Watching him do that while showing up for his patients every single day makes this recognition feel especially well deserved.

Congratulations, Dr. Singh! Our whole team is cheering you on. 💚
