PMS - are you still suffereing?

When I ask patients if they experience PMS, most of them reply 'Oh just the usual stuff, I manage'. When I probe a little deeper, many of them are needing to take a day off work, they say that they don't make decisions for a week every month, that there husbands just stay clear...you get the idea. When it interferes with your everyday life, it's a problem that needs to be addressed.

PMS may include many or just one of: breast tenderness, moodiness, change in libido, irritability, weepiness, bloating, swelling of hands and feet, fatigue, and brain fog.

The good news is that just because it's common to experience PMS, doesn't mean that it's normal and that you just have to 'deal with it'.

Naturopathic Medicine has a lot to offer including: balancing hormones, correcting vitamin deficiencies, and correcting gut issues.

If you've suffered enough, call and book an appointment.

Yours in health,

Ashley's Angels

I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley and her mother over the weekend. What a story. Ashley, 3 years old, woke up one day, yellow. Within a few weeks, she was in surgery having a liver transplant. Perfectly healthy little girl before that day.

Sick Kids is an incredible hospital that saves so many lives everyday. I am especially touched by what they do because of my own son, nephews, and the many children I get to work with. I hope that I never have to take Patrick down there, but I am so grateful knowing that they are there.
To read more about Ashley's story and the foundation that has been set up to support Sick Kids, please follow the link. If you can, please help. you never know when you will be touched by such tragedy and miracle.

Yours in health,
Kerri
