Dealing with Diabetic Complications?
Hyperbaric oxygen is a powerful tool to help manage and reverse the complications of diabetes by increasing the amount of oxygen reaching the body tissues. The effects of elevated blood sugars are well documented: poor insulin control, weight gain, poor wound healing, eye damage, and organ dysfunction. Hyperbaric oxygen is a safe and proven method to help control and lower blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, and improve wound healing outcomes, even preventing the need for amputation in many cases if used early enough. Most importantly, the need for a healthy diet and consistent exercise is paramount in any healing program.
Soup up Your Gut
Our intestines are responsible for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from the food and liquids we consume. In order to accomplish this, the gut lining must be semi-permeable. Sometimes this lining is more porous than it should be – a condition called leaky gut – which allows undigested food to enter the bloodstream. This causes inflammation, a potential root cause of most illness and disease including mental illness. One effective way to repair the gut lining (and warm up on a cold winter day) is to drink mineral and nutrient rich bone broth made from organic beef, chicken, or fish bones.
Spider Leg Veins
While spider veins typically don’t come with any pain or discomfort, many people are self-conscious about the appearance of them. Winter is a good time to treat them, so your legs look their best by summer time! Treatment options include sclerotherapy, with a special solution injected through a fine needle, or laser therapy. Sclerotherapy helps to reduce and eliminate the appearance of visual spider veins and is usually the best option to start with. Laser therapy tends to be more expensive, more painful, and less effective. Several visits may be required at about one-month intervals to clear those pesky veins.
Trust Yourself!
We all want to go through our lives being able to trust — to trust others, to trust ourselves, and to take on new challenges with confidence. However, sometimes we get set back, whether it be from a bad past relationship, a trauma, stress, or some uncomfortable memories that lead us to doubt ourselves. And it can be incredibly hard to let your guard down and open your life up to something new once that sense of safety is shaken. Counselling can provide a safe, neutral place to explore how to regain your trust and your confidence.

Drink Water for Immunity
One of the SIMPLEST ways to boost your immune system during cold and flu season is to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! When dehydrated, your cells become less efficient at removing toxins AND the cells that form your skin, gut tract lining, and mucus membranes (e.g., lips and mouth) form tiny “micro-cracks”, which can allow even more water loss. These tiny openings can be points of entry for viruses and bacteria and are the easiest way for them to hijack your system. So, drink more water in the winter – don’t wait until you’re thirsty, make it a habit.
