Improve Your Focus & Concentration Naturally
Very often the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. Alternative approaches such as Biofeedback testing and treatment are highly effective in improving focus and concentration. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body better function in times of overload, overwhelm and fatigue.
Optimize Your Eyes
What many people may not know is that not all progressive lenses are the same. Sure, there are your conventional ones, but now there are also lenses equipped with computer technology in the surface region of the lens. Not your average pair of glasses! Talk about high quality. This is called Freeform Progressive Technology. Freeform lenses can sharpen vision, provide brighter colours, and reduce glare caused by light sources at night. Many leaders in the vision industry see free-form technology as the revolution of vision.
Living Amidst Uncertainty
With so much uncertainty this fall, not knowing how our lives, schools and work will unfold and become impacted, sets the stage for a very different “fall experience” than we have experienced before. Nothing as we know it is quite the same. It is natural that loss, disappointment and anxiety will bubble up when our routines and structure changes without our consent. Adaptability, resiliency, an openness to surrender and welcoming in a great sense of humor are amongst the many tools needed to navigate the unknown. Reaching out and allowing room to grieve what can’t be, so we can open up to the creativity that can be.

Back-to-School Vision Care
Along with the usual back-to-school preparations, children’s vision should rank high in importance. It is not unusual for the refractive status of eyes to change up to age 18, but these changes are more likely during the early growth years. Young kids might not readily notice problems at a time when 80% of what they learn is through the eyes. In addition, eye muscle imbalances can affect reading and concentration, both of which are important for academic success and a confident student. Arrange for a professional and comprehensive oculo-visual assessment, including ocular health, for your child soon!
Laser Therapy for Quitting
Quitting smoking can be difficult and those who are looking to kick the habit can often use all the help they can get. Low level laser therapy (soft laser) can be a safe, affordable, and effective tool. Laser therapy sessions can help you quit smoking by addressing all three parts of addiction: physical, psychological, and detoxification. For the physical aspect, laser therapy helps stimulate key neuro-chemical pathways to produce endorphins and curb nicotine cravings. Laser therapy sessions can help with relaxation and allow you to focus on the psychological reasons for nicotine cravings, and as part of the sessions, detoxification techniques can also be discussed.

Supports for Postpartum Depression
Nearly 75% of new mothers experience “baby blues” during the transition time after giving birth. It’s often a two-week period of feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious, and tired. If the symptoms don’t go away after two weeks, mothers are often experiencing postpartum depression. There’s no single cause – it can be physical, hormonal, social, psychological, and emotional. With the help of a healthcare professional, new moms can discuss different support options, from counselling to medication in some circumstances. Friends and family can also play an important role, helping with chores, providing encouragement, and giving mom a break from baby here and there. Anyone in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm or harm towards their baby are encouraged to call Southern Health/Santé Sud crisis line anytime at 1-888-617-7715.
