It's all about moderation!

During the holiday season there seems to be an over-abundance of baked goodies everywhere I go. Yes, even naturopaths indulge on occassion. During this time of year I try to be even more diligent with the majority of my meals, knowing that my sugar intake is a little higher at the moment. I use lunch as a great opportunity to get my veggies - I make a yummy salad to bring to work daily, and throw some lean protein on there for added energy (usually in the form of beans or raw nuts/seeds). I also have a high fiber, whole grain cereal for breakfast (with soy milk) which keeps my insulin steady until lunch. As a naturopath, I believe that giving my body what it needs 90% of the time takes the guilt out of the holiday indulgences!

Homeopathic Flu Shot!

Homeopathic Flu Shot is now available at Vitality for Life!
Protect you and your family this winter season with this naturopathic alternative in a safe and non-invasive way. This homeopathic therapy is gentle enough for babies, seniors and people of all ages. The homeopathic flu shot contains a specific mix of two well studied homeopathic combinations, shown to improve the killer activity of white blood cells by 41% (thus boosting the immune system). This blend helps fight cold and flu symptoms and flu-like infections, and also helps shorten the duration and intensity of any flu symptoms.

Vitality for Life is now offering the homeopathic flu shot, and for those afraid of needles (or for young children), a 30 second immune mouthwash is also available!

As a naturopathic doctor I recommend three injections or gargles during cold and flu season. Call the clinic today to reserve a time to drop in! I've already injected my husband, and have given both boys the gargle (my sons are 10 months and 3 years old)...I'm really excited that we have this natural alternative available.
