Did you know that the entire month of May is dedicated to Better Speech and Hearing? During May, the hearing care industry makes a special effort to educate the public about hearing loss. Helen Keller once said that of all her sensory deprivations, she most missed her ability to hear. She noted that while blindness kept her separate from things, hearing loss separated her from people. Hearing impairment not only affects your ability to understand speech, but it also has a negative impact on your social and emotional well-being, as you struggle to carry on meaningful conversations and avoid activities.

Why Should I See a Naturopath?
Seeing a naturopathic doctor (ND) offers a holistic, personalized approach to healthcare, focusing on treating root causes and promoting overall wellness. NDs emphasize prevention, combining natural therapies like nutrition, herbal medicine, and stress management with patient education. They are particularly beneficial for chronic conditions, such as hormonal imbalances or digestive issues, and can complement conventional treatments to enhance recovery and reduce side effects. NDs prioritize non-invasive, natural remedies and empower patients to take control of their health. For those seeking a preventative, integrative, or alternative approach to care, licensed NDs provide a valuable resource for achieving long-term health goals.
Understanding Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy focuses on simple movements and the connection between body segments, rather than traditional yoga postures. It involves neuromuscular patterning and repatterning through basic movement. The human experience is an ongoing interplay of cause and effect, with unique responses to external events. Throughout life, we may encounter injuries, illness, or emotional challenges, often affecting both body and mind. A Yoga Therapist works with you to create a personalized practice that supports recovery, enhances ease, and fosters meaningful transformation, helping you navigate physical, emotional, or mental struggles toward healing and well-being.

Allergy Season Is Back
Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
Let Us Help You Quit!
Are you finally ready to get rid of your cigarettes, for good? No matter what other programs you have tried and no matter how long you have smoked, all you need is a strong desire to quit. At Smartchoice Laser, we apply a low-level laser to your body’s natural energy flow points to stimulate the release of endorphins in the body. These same chemicals are raised artificially when you smoke. Laser treatment causes the body to feel effects similar to what you get when you smoke, relieving the physical withdrawal symptoms. For most people, physical cravings will be significantly reduced or completely eradicated.

Everyone gets bad breath from time to time – but bad breath that doesn’t go away could mean you have an oral health issue. The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene, other causes can include dry mouth, and certain medications. When you don’t brush(clean) your natural teeth and/or dentures regularly, this can cause plaque and tartar to form on your teeth(both natural and false). If you’re struggling with bad breath that doesn’t go away, it’s important to see your denturist. They will be able to evaluate your oral health and determine what steps to take next.
