PCOS Is Multifactorial & Manageable

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is more than a hormone imbalance. It’s a multifactorial condition shaped by genetics, insulin resistance, inflammation, and reproductive hormone shifts. That’s why symptoms can look so different, irregular cycles, acne, hair thinning, weight changes, fatigue, or mood fluctuations. The good news: each factor offers an entry point for healing. By supporting ovulation, balancing androgens, improving insulin sensitivity, and calming inflammation, women with PCOS can see real progress in energy, skin, cycles, and long-term health. At Uptown Integrative Health, we take the time to create individualized treatment plans that address the many layers of PCOS – helping women restore balance and feel empowered in their bodies.

Help, Hope, Healing for Everyone

Counselling is for everyone, at any age. It supports individuals, parents, children, and families facing challenges. Parenting guidance builds positive relationships and healthy developmental skills and strategies for healthier forms of communicate between parents and their children. Anger management teaches strategies to recognize triggers and respond calmly, managing your emotions and reactions. Even children who cannot fully communicate to a counsellor can express themselves through play, art, and other creative activities for the counsellor to understand their needs. Some schools offer free in-school counselling upon request for children and students. Help is available to create a safe, supportive environments for everyone, whether at work, school or home.

Everyday Heroes of Health Care

We recognize and honour those who dedicate their lives to helping others in times of crisis. Today, we pay special tribute to healthcare professionals—standing on the front lines every day.

Foster Animals, Save Lives

Fostering is a rewarding way to help animals in need without a lifelong commitment. By opening your home, you prepare shelter animals for adoption, free up kennel space, and prevent overcrowding. Fosters must be 18+, have landlord approval if renting, and complete orientation training. We provide training, supplies, and medical support. Once certified, you’ll be notified when an animal needs a foster home—simply reach out to arrange pickup and help save a life.

Thermography and Breast Health

October is breast cancer awareness month, and preventative health care and early detection are important factors when it comes to breast health. DITI (Digital Thermal Imaging) or Thermography is a non-invasive assessment tool using an infrared camera. This helps to visualize inflammation and dysfunction in the body to assess problems in the vascular, muscular, neural, and skeletal systems. For breast health, DITI can help create a baseline of healthy breast activity, and yearly DITI follow-ups can help detect potential physiological changes and abnormalities. Since DITI looks for changes in physiology, it can be a great secondary measure alongside mammography.

Clean Furnace – Healther Air

Regular furnace cleaning is crucial for your health, furnace efficiency, safety, and cost savings. Safety is paramount, as dust or soot buildup can lead to fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks. It also improves indoor air quality by reducing the circulation of allergens and pollutants. Routine maintenance prevents costly breakdowns and aligns with warranty requirements and ensures the air you are breathing in is clean. Overall, it provides peace of mind that your heating system is reliable, efficient, and ready to keep your home safe and warm when needed, making it a wise investment.

Giving your Product/Service a Voice

Not every product or service is easy to Promote. Some require more than a catchy slogan or a quick visual Ad—they need context, explanation, and definition. That’s where the power of an editorial comes in. Unlike a traditional visual advertisement, an editorial allows you to provide information, health benefits or tips, and the ability to explain why your product/service matters, or how it can solve a problem, alleviate pain, or assist with a situation. Readers engage with editorials differently than they do with Visual Ads. They’re not just being told to buy something—they’re being educated and informed beforehand.

These rights are protected under The Saskatchewan Employment Act. When workers speak up and employers listen, everyone benefits. Safety is a shared responsibility—and it starts with knowing your rights. Together, we can make Saskatchewan workplaces safer.”
