July 24 marks International Self-Care Day—a perfect time to reflect on how you care for your emotional well-being. True self-care goes beyond bubble baths and spa days. It’s also about setting healthy boundaries, nurturing relationships, and seeking support when life feels overwhelming. As a counsellor and mediator, I encourage you to take inventory of your mental health. Are you bottling up emotions or avoiding conflict? Talking to a professional can provide clarity, tools, and healing. Remember, prioritizing your peace isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Let this Self-Care Day be your starting point toward a healthier, more balanced you.

Wildfire Smoke Health Risks
Wildfire smoke, a blend of PM2.5 and gases like carbon monoxide, poses severe health risks in Western Canada. It obstructs oxygen intake, irritates the respiratory system, and triggers inflammation, manifesting in eye irritation, coughing, or headaches. While most symptoms are manageable, severe cases require medical attention, especially if experiencing breathlessness or chest pain. Minimizing exposure is crucial. HEPA air filters and sealed environments help indoors. While driving, maintain closed windows and recirculated air. During smoky periods, reduce exertion, exercise indoors, and stay hydrated. Prioritize health amidst wildfires. Source: (bccdc.ca/health-info/prevention-public-health/wildfire-smoke)

Brain Injury Awareness Month
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can change someone’s life forever. If you suffer from a head injury, consult a chiropractor or physiotherapist/athletic therapist right away. Naturopathic doctors can also help by: 1. Reducing brain inflammation through gut-focused diet and lifestyle changes. 2. Recommending supplements to support inflammation, cognition, and hormones. 3. Providing IV therapy to deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream. 4. Offering low-level laser therapy to reduce chronic inflammation and support healing. 5. Using acupuncture to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and promote the body’s natural healing response. Early, integrative care can support better outcomes.
