Prevent and Treat Iron Deficiency
1.85 million Canadians suffer from iron deficiency*.
To ensure that you aren’t one of those, speak to your healthcare provider to ensure that you are meeting your iron needs. Iron is found in specific food sources, however if you are not meeting your iron requirements, iron supplements are available. There’s a once daily dosing option with the highest amount of elemental heme iron, and better gastrointestinal tolerability available. You no longer have to suffer from the well-known side effects of iron supplements or take 2-3 capsules a day. Cheers to the Power of One.

Get your Hearing Checked!
Most people with hearing loss can be helped by daily use of properly chosen and properly fitted hearing aids. Current hearing aid technology is very sophisticated and effective. A trial period of several weeks with hearing aids allows you to experience amplification. Your hearing care professional will coach and explain the process as you go. If you suspect hearing loss, reach out to your local Hearing Care Professional for help with your hearing and have your hearing tested. We recommend that all adults over fifty years of age should have a baseline hearing test. Contact us for a complimentary hearing test and consultation.
Choosing a Personal Trainer
Over 50 and looking for a personal trainer? Make sure they ask you the following questions: What are your fitness/health goals? What’s your exercise history? Do you have any injuries, physical limitations, or medical conditions? Have you ever had a joint replacement? Have you discussed fitness with your physician? Be sure to ask them about their qualifications, certifications, and experience. Do they have expertise training people who have health issues like your own? And – this is really important – do you like this person? Can you see yourself enjoying time with them, or interacting via computer for virtual training?
Dealing with Emotional Inflammation
Unprocessed emotions such as grief and worry can often lead to what is termed “emotional inflammation”. When an emotion is suppressed for any reason, it can lead to physical ailments such as depression and anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and even pain throughout our body. Accepting these emotions and learning to process them can be difficult and we often numb ourselves chemically or behaviourally. However, we can incorporate positive changes into our lives to help process emotions. Homeopathy can help with the physical symptoms, as well as learning to accept, process, and release emotions from our physical body, allowing ourselves to heal.
Tips for a Healthy Home
While we are mindful about nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods, clean water and activity, consider the health of our homes. The presence of mould and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can cause a myriad of health complaints such as headaches, nausea, respiratory issues, organ and central nervous system damage. Indoor air pollution can be five times higher than outdoor air pollution! The best ways to reduce harmful air quality in our homes are to eliminate mould, prohibit smoking indoors, increase ventilation and ensure home improvement projects use materials with low or no VOCs.

Better Breathing Behaviours
Did you know your breath learns? Breathing behaviours can serve us well in certain circumstances, like fast, full breathing when we are in danger so that we can move to safety. But what if that becomes your primary state of breathing, even when you’re not in danger? That breathing habit can have long term consequences on your health by mimicking, creating or exacerbating disease due to long term reduction in O2 to your brain and body. Effective behavioural counselling with a Certified Breath Behaviour Analyst can help you identify and correct dysfunctional breathing behaviours so you can breathe in healthier ways.
