Have you often made a New Year’s resolution only to have your progress stall and the issue being addressed return to its previous state, or even worsen? Take control of your health with a sustainable plan. Exercising and cutting calories is NOT the way to lose weight. You can’t out-exercise your fork! It has been proven that consuming foods that are appropriate for your ancestral heritage supports your body and/or mind in healing from most any chronic health issue (including weight loss). Sleep, stress, exercise/play, and toxins are addressed in your healing plan. No fad diets, detoxes, cleanses, or hunger. Eat like your life depends on it, because it does!

Serrapeptase, the Little Miracle Enzyme!
Serrapeptase has been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen) and should be taken on an empty stomach. The capsule must be a special DRcap (Delayed Release capsule) which allows the Serrapeptase to pass through the stomach to the small intestine, where the enzyme is then released. Serrapeptase is an enzyme that breaks down long protein chains into amino acids that the body needs. These enzymes roam through the bloodstream, seeking to break down hard protein (non-living tissue), fibrin surfaces, scar tissue, and granuloma, and even thin out mucous to ease conditions such as chronic sinusitis.

Maintaining Bone Health
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by weakened bones with an increased risk of fracture. In Canada, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. Osteoporotic fragility fractures are more common than heart attacks, stroke, and breast cancer combined. Medication, nutrition/diet, and exercise are forms of treatment. Physiotherapy is focused on specific exercise, which includes resistance training, balance training, aerobic exercise, and spine sparing strategies. All of these exercises are geared towards preventing falls and fractures, and maintaining strong bone health. Contact a physiotherapist for more information and for a specific home exercise program tailored to your individual needs.

Keep Your Hair During Chemotherapy
I am having chemotherapy; do I have to lose my hair? The simple answer is no. In many cases, scalp cooling can help you keep your hair. Scalp cooling has been around for over 50 years, and for the past 20 years, it has been widely used in Europe, where it is now the standard of care for the majority of cancer patients. Recently, the USA and most of the world have adopted the technology. It is also available across Canada. The success of scalp cooling depends on the type of chemotherapy, the dosage, and the individual patient. Ask your doctor if scalp cooling is right for you.
Teen Hearing Loss
Portable music players are great devices. But did you know they can produce sound loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss? Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is steadily growing amongst young adults. NIHL results from loud and prolonged exposure to noise greater than 85 decibels. The damage is permanent, but often goes ignored because it is painless and occurs gradually over time, before people notice they are having hearing difficulties. Individual MP3 players, and the ones used by cell phones, can easily reach between 100 and 115 decibels. This means permanent damage to your hearing begins after only a few minutes. When using these devices, turn down the volume and protect your hearing.
