We call it “Vitamin D,” but this compound is in fact a steroid hormone with specific activities in every cell in your body. Known as the sunshine vitamin – our bodies can produce it given regular and effective doses of sunshine. The challenge over the winter months is not getting enough. Babies who are breastfed, children, shift workers, people who have undergone surgical menopause, experience chronic inflammatory conditions, have osteoporosis, malabsorption and the elderly all have specialized needs. Before you start treatment though, it’s important have a simple blood test to determine your needs. Ask your pharmacist about it today.

Riverstone Dental Clinic’s goal is to treat patients in the safest and most natural way possible while still providing all the modern dentistry you would expect of a dental office and provide a lifetime of healthy smiles. We are fluoride-free and do not support the use of Amalgam (mercury) fillings. Holistic dentistry is not a dental specialty but a philosophy of practice that promotes health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease. It is a less toxic approach at fixing oral issues in order to better a patient’s teeth, mouth and overall health.

Does it feel like you’re just putting one foot in front of the other? Living like this can feel disruptive and unfulfilling. The first step to living a more mindful life is becoming aware of how your subconscious perspectives, actions and reactions, affect your relationships, families and life experiences. Some of the beliefs you have created from past experiences may no longer lead you to the happiest outcomes. With heightened emotional wellness and through a method like EFT/Tapping, it is possible to gently and easily discover your non-serving subconscious perspectives and beliefs and shift to consciously living life to the fullest.
