Is Exercise Good or Bad?
So listen, I see a skewed version of the population. A lot of patients come to me when they aren’t feeling well and they need help getting back to the best version of themselves. Often when you’re not feeling as energetic as you’d like, you’re crazy busy, or when you’ve physically got things going on... [Read More]
Digestion Lessons from Vacation
I’ve had my fair share of food sensitivities and even got rid of my own SIBO, but still continue to do some digestive maintenance. So when it came time to pack for my trip, I definitely included my digestive enzymes, knowing that we would likely be eating food sometimes that wouldn’t 100% agree with my... [Read More]
The Year Of The Gut
It’s official! 2020 has been designated (by me!), as The Year of the Gut. I see a ton of patients with digestive complaints, and my goal for the year is to help as many people as I can figure out WHY their digestion isn’t happy so we can finally get them feeling their best. What’s... [Read More]
Booze and Your Body
Alcohol is given a weird pass in our society. As someone who doesn’t drink anymore, I feel like I’ve got a more transparent view of how our society treats it. It’s social connection and it’s an acceptable way of kicking back to relax after a long day. It’s also a huge security blanket for avoiding... [Read More]
Why I’m Pro Hunting
So listen, before you’re outraged, I want to start with saying that I’m NOT pro-trophy hunting, nor am I pro-sport hunting.

“Is coffee good for me?”
Don’t freak out. This isn’t an article about me taking your coffee away. In general, I’m a moderate. I definitely don’t believe in one size fits all, and think that our bodies and their requirements are all very different. It seems that there’s a study that comes out every other month to purport either the... [Read More]
The Myth of Safety in “BPA-Free” Products
In my last blog article, we talked about the dangers of BPA products and how they may be affecting your health. Often when I mention my concerns around Bisphenol chemicals, many patients are pleased and excited to tell me that they’ve changed all their products to “BPA-Free.” They’re quickly disappointed to learn that “BPA-Free” is...

BPA: Why avoiding this chemical is MANDATORY for good health
My absolute favourite area of medicine is Environmental Medicine and any little tidbit that I can throw in at each patient visit puts a huge smile on my face. Canada led the way in 2012 by implementing a ban on BPA in baby bottles, but below you’ll soon recognize why this was just a tiny... [Read More]
