- S U P P L E M E N T S -

This call to action isn’t just got supplements. Any natural health product in Canada is at risk. These include natural deodorants and toothpastes, vitamins, herbal products and so much more.

I am not apposed to allopathic medicine. There is a time an place for everything, especially in sickness - but preventative health care should be considered a priority, and by using natural products free from carcinogens, endocrine disrupters, and other toxic ingredients should be our first line of defence (and encouraged by our government)

Sadly the opposite is what is happening here. They are imposing more red tape and restrictions on natural health products that will eventually bankrupt or move them out of Canada.

We need to step up.

Message your MP to save our supplements and natural health products.

Immune system and allergies.

“If you have a perfectly working table, and begin piling bags of sand on it, it may be able to hold the weight. If you continue to pile sand on, and the last one, a bag of purple sand makes the table collapse, is it simply that the table wasn’t designed to hold purple sand?”

I love this analogy comparing our immune system and allergies. If we continue to eat foods that increase inflammation, and don’t align with optimizing our health we will eventually become ill. It isn’t necessarily the last food we ate, but an accumulation of various foods.

Learning what does not support us and making meal plans around this awareness will allow us to pause and heal, and with enough repair, enjoy these foods again with limited effect.

“Humility allows you to see your own strengths and weaknesses clearly, so you can work, learn, and grow.”

—————————

Growth and development is such a personal journey to everyone. There are times it will feel like it’s one step forward, two steps back. There will also be parts of the journey that feel like you are moving backwards followed by a giant leap forward.

No matter which direction you’re going embrace each part with humility. Stay humble so your growth will continue 🙏

Six and a half years ago we started our journey into better understanding the benefits and risks of eating certain foods.

Eczema, discomfort and pain were the symptoms that triggered us to dig deeper into the why.

other less common symptoms of food intolerances could be:

❕depression
❕dizziness
❕lethargy
❕sinusitis
❕anemia
❕bloating
❕diverticulitis
❕heartburn
❕acne

We were fortunate enough to be muscle tested for potential intolerances, which we followed, and saw major improvements almost instantly.

Are you curious if the foods you are eating potentially contributing to underlying symptoms?

I would love to help support you on your journey to learning more.

Family investment available.

Sleep is one of the most under rated immune supports.

But what exactly happens when we sleep 🤔

When we sleep, our bodies produce a protein, which target infection and inflammation, creating an immune response. Our bodies also produce T-cells during sleep, which are white blood cells that play a critical role in our body's immune response to infectious diseases.

What are some habits that can help increase sleep?

💤Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends.

💤Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature
Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom.

💤Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime.

💤Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.

💤 After outings or days we have been around a lot of people, we take Immupro to help us get an extra deep rest.

What steps do you take to make sure your sleep is helping you heal?

One of the top recommendations for habit changes to improve your health is to drink water.

This is also one of the most simplest acts that I struggle with most!

But the benefits are countless; so this is a reminder for you, and i to drink more water 💧 ♥️

Are your clean clothes really clean?

The high fragrance in these laundry soaps have tricked us into thinking that our clothes are more clean, but in fact we are toxifying them. The University of Washington did a study where they found 25 volatile toxins, volatile organic compounds that are hazardous to us, just coming from the air vents, the off-gas of what has been soaked into our clothes.

Of those 25 toxins, there are 2 main that are known carcinogens; acetaldehyde and benzene. These are classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, which means that not only do they pose serious personal heal risks, but also public and environmental health.

Symptoms that may be related to these 25 toxins can be dizziness, drowsiness, headaches or lightheadedness as an acute affect, the long term harm can be far more significant, many being linked to the increase in cancers.

These toxins then get mixed in with our clothes and remain there, but when our clothes get damp, when we sweat (usually from areas closely linked to our lymphatic system; our immune system) these toxins them become absorbed into the portals to our vital organs.

I am absolutely not suggesting that we all skip the laundry routine (while as a mom of many it would be nice some days!) These days there are plenty of options for the laundry room that do not put your health at risk.

While you can google organic laundry detergent, and research the ingredient list to ensure it’s safety; I have been using Thieves from Young Living for 7 years and have been loving it, and feel at ease knowing that my kids clothing are truly clean.

They are always watching us. From our intentions to our outward actions.

We have grown a passion for a naturally rooted lifestyle based on living as close to nature as possible. They are watching.

Our lifestyle is carrying over into their lives, and their play. One has made a guide to gardening, while another has harvested our savoury because… it’s time.

I’m honoured to see their love of Mother Earth growing stronger through our example

Big emotions.

We have been working through some emotions that are bigger than her over the past 7 years. There are moments I am at an absolute loss, but I’m always hopefully we will get through it.

We went through various supports, doctors and therapists alike all suggesting labels over tools (there is no shame or judgement in giving a name or diagnosis, but our main focus was in search of tools).

Over the course of these 7 years, our answers have come in ways of natural support. First and foremost is listening. Listening to her needs, her words and encouragement for her to listen to herself. (She is one of the most self aware humans I know.)

Grounding music and meditation is another support she has found helpful. Experimenting with different versions that she had connected with.

Outside! Limiting the screen time and being in nature is where happiness is truly found!

These incredible plant-based tools used consistently have been her favourite and most empowering tool that she defaults to. They all have their own incredible benefits, and ways of supporting her so she can spend her days happy and free from those heavy emotions.

Sometimes their plans are much bigger than them...

His goal was to make his blue monster truck green. Instead his fingers became green and sticky 🤦‍♀️.

No sweat. Lemon takes care of it in a hurry, sans chemicals (no paint remover needed thank goodness, because I don't think we even have any!)

So, no more green hands, walls and door k***s and creativity and adventure still intact
