September is Recovery Month
Since 2012, a network of people in recovery, families, service providers, and entire communities have come together to celebrate RECOVERY.
WHY IS RECOVERY DAY IMPORTANT
Thousands of individuals are affected by substances use disorder and may never receive the support they need, leaving hundreds of Canadians to die each month. While there is no cure for addiction, there is a solution. Together we build awareness, challenge societal Stigma, and above all else show our community that recovery is real, attainable and sustainable.WHAT IS STIGMA
The stigma around substance use is one of the biggest barriers for people seeing and receiving treatment for addiction. Stigma is often displayed in the forms of discriminatory attitudes and beliefs, and behaviours. Stigma is a significant barrier to getting help for those with a substance use disorder, or who have used substances in the past. As a society, the words we use to describe people and their health conditions influence and reflect our attitudes and approaches to helping them. Language evolves and continuously adapts to respond to changes in society’s values and understanding of oppression in our culture.
International studies by the World Health Organization show that people with alcohol and drug use disorders are among some of most stigmatized individuals of all health conditions.
NATIONAL STATISTICS SHOW
3.3 Million people die each year due to the harmful use of Alcohol.
35,000 people die from alcohol and drug use disorders. Only 14% of people who meet the criteria for a drug use disorder receive any treatment for it.
The Importance of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is crucial for maintaining healthy nerve cells and supporting the production of DNA and red blood cells. It plays a significant role in brain function and development. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to serious health issues such as anemia, neurological disorders, and cognitive impairments. It is essential for energy production and helps reduce the risk of heart disease by regulating homocysteine levels in the blood. Ensuring an adequate intake of vitamin B12 through diet or supplements is vital, especially for vegetarians, vegans, and older adults, who are at higher risk of deficiency.

Yellow Blooms Boost Mood
Yellow flowers have a remarkable impact on mental health, offering both visual and psychological benefits. Their bright, sunny hue is known to evoke feelings of happiness and positivity, counteracting stress and anxiety. Yellow symbolizes hope and optimism, often uplifting the spirit and enhancing mood. Studies suggest that exposure to vibrant colors, especially yellow, can stimulate mental activity and boost energy levels. Flowers like sunflowers, daisies, and marigolds not only beautify spaces but also create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Incorporating yellow flowers into daily life, whether at home or work, can be a simple yet effective way to promote emotional well-being.
Balance Your Hormones Naturally
What does hormonal imbalance look like? Hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, irritability, brain fog, irregular cycle, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms. If you suffer from any of these symptoms and haven’t been able to find relief, why not try balancing your hormones naturally. Biofeedback testing and treatment help to detect imbalances and stimulate hormone-producing organs to balance the body. Another effective option is to get your body tested to see if it is lacking specific hormone-related nutrients. If you are, natural nutritional formulations can be taken to correct the hormonal imbalance and relieve your symptoms.

Are You A Mosquito Magnet?
Did you ever wonder why some people are mosquito magnets, while others are hardly bothered? One theory is based on the fact that your skin is a source of elimination. Eat too much garlic, and it will literally come through your pores. If sugars are not metabolized properly, the byproducts must be eliminated, and one of those pathways is the skin. It is believed that mosquitos are attracted to the excess metabolized sugar. Vitamin B1 is known to help the body burn sugars more efficiently, thereby reducing excess sugar coming out of the pores, and your skin from attracting mosquitos. Nutritional testing can reveal if you are lacking B1 and other essential nutrients that are making you a mosquito magnet.
DTC With Type 2 Diabetes
Living with Type 2 diabetes presents challenges that impact daily life and finances. The Canada Disability Tax Credit (DTC) provides financial assistance to those with disabilities, including Type 2 diabetes. Proper documentation is crucial for the DTC application. Applicants must have their condition documented by medical professionals, highlighting specific limitations and challenges. This increases the chances of qualifying for financial support. Receiving the DTC can help indi-viduals manage their condition and improve their quality of life. Understanding the requirements and submitting thorough documentation is key to accessing this valuable assistance.
