Shoulder pain can affect sleep, work, and everyday movement, yet many people are unsure why it happens or when to seek help. Physiotherapist Trevor Donald is hosting a free interactive workshop called Shoulder Pain Secrets on Wednesday, April 29 at 7 pm to help people better understand this common issue. Attendees will learn why shoulders hurt, how the shoulder is designed to work, and when pain should not be ignored. The session will also explore shoulder problems from a physiotherapist’s perspective and share simple exercises and practical tips to improve movement.

Allow the newness of this time to build momentum for change, and if you need a little help, I’m here.
Pure Water for Better Health
Clean drinking water is one of the most important foundations of good health. While municipal water is treated for basic safety, substances such as chlorine, heavy metals, hard minerals, fluoride, and even microplastics can still make their way into your home’s supply. The water you drink and bathe in every day can affect far more than taste. High quality purified water supports better hydration, healthier digestion, clearer skin, and stronger hair. It can also help protect plumbing and appliances from mineral buildup. A simple water quality test can reveal what is in your water and help you choose the right filtration system for safer, better tasting water at home.
Naturopathic Approach to IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common digestive disorders and can also be one of the most confusing. Common triggers for IBS symptoms include stress, reduced gut biome diversity, food sensitivities or intolerances, and hormonal changes. The condition is often diagnosed by ruling out other digestive diseases and is frequently treated with pharmaceutical medications. A naturopathic approach focuses on supporting the whole digestive system by addressing underlying factors. Strategies may include dietary changes, stress management, digestive enzymes, and targeted botanicals. Formulas such as Choice Nutrition’s Pro Choice Herbals Intest-Aid contain ingredients like L glutamine, marshmallow, slippery elm, and white oak bark to help soothe and support the intestinal lining and digestive health.
