“I had a non-emergency condition that required quick medical attention. I saw a pamphlet for a partnership between Avee Health and the Medicine Shoppe stating that I could access a doctor fast. I called the Medicine Shoppe and they told me that a BC trained physician would call me within 30 minutes. The call came in 20 minutes; I described my condition; the doctor diagnosed it and sent a prescription to the Medicine Shoppe for me to pick up or have delivered free of charge. The prescription was ready for me in under an hour. I highly recommend this amazing service.”

Recent research (2025–2026) indicates that acrylic resin dentures release microplastics (MPs) into the mouth during daily cleaning, brushing, and eating. The quantities during normal wear are relatively low. While this exposure is currently considered minimal compared to other environmental sources, denture wearers should follow professional recommendations to maintain and replace dentures regularly to help prevent excessive wear and material degradation. I recommend: avoid overly aggressive brushing, ensure regular repair, maintenance and replacement of the dentures to help reduce the rate of material degradation and subsequent particle release. Call Accura Denture Clinic for all your denture needs.

What if pain isn’t just about injured tissues, but how the brain interprets signals? Emerging science shows that pain is shaped by the brain and nervous system, not just the body. Persistent pain can continue even after healing, as the brain develops protective patterns that keep signalling discomfort. Neuromovement® offers a different approach. Rather than focusing on fixing the body, it works with the brain’s ability to change—known as neuroplasticity—to create new, more efficient patterns. This reframes pain from something “broken” to something changeable, opening the door to reduced pain, improved movement, and greater ease in daily life.

May is the perfect time to reset your metabolism by supporting your body’s natural rhythms. Focus on simplifying: eat whole, colourful foods, prioritize protein at every meal, and hydrate consistently. As the days get longer, get outside early—morning light helps regulate cortisol and improve sleep quality. Gentle movement like walking, strength training, or yoga build lean muscle and balance hormones. its important to slow down your meals—digestion begins in a calm state. May isn’t about restriction—it’s about alignment. When your body feels safe, nourished, and supported, fat loss, energy, and clarity follow naturally. Acupuncture helps balance the body and supports digestion.

Let’s shed some light on an area of the body that is often neglected – your lower legs or feet!
