Low Stomach Acid
Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) is a common but often overlooked cause of digestive discomfort. Symptoms may include bloating, gas, belching, acid reflux, and feeling overly full after meals. It can also reduce absorption of key nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Contributing factors include aging, long-term acid-suppressing medications, chronic stress, zinc deficiency, stomach inflammation, and Helicobacter pylori infection. At Uptown Integrative Health, our naturopathic doctors identify the underlying cause through comprehensive assessment and appropriate testing, then create personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement plans to restore healthy digestion and improve overall wellness.

Stress Handling With Biofeedback
Everyday we have an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts running through our minds. Considering that our minds can only handle 7-10 bits of information at a time, no wonder we start to feel overwhelmed, especially at this time of the year. Unmanaged stress contributes to many health issues such as lowered immunity, headaches, exhaustion, insomnia, chronic pain, and depression, to name a few. Alternative approaches such as Biofeedback testing and treatment are very effective in handling stress. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body process and handle stress better.

You need time to replenish and grow, just as your garden does. Rejuvenate so you have clarity in making decisions, and recognize purpose and synchronicity in your life. You are upgrading into a higher version of yourself! So, invest the gift of time with yourself to support your next steps.

Help Rebuild First Steps
In 2022, our son Will suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. After 510 days in hospital and rehabilitation, he came home, but his recovery needed more than traditional therapy. First Steps Wellness Centre gave him renewed independence, confidence, friendships, and hope, through the research supported activity based therapy (ABT) clients receive. Sadly, the centre closed, leaving many families without this vital support. Today, seven volunteers are working to reopen this unique Manitoba non-profit rehabilitation centre for people living with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke, MS, and CP. Every donation helps restore hope. Please support our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/8767f9585 |
Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Seniors
Chronic inflammation can contribute to conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and cognitive decline. An anti-inflammatory diet emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods that help support overall health. Fill your plate with colourful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats such as olive oil and fatty fish rich in omega-3s. Limit highly processed foods, sugary drinks, refined carbohydrates, and processed meats, which may promote inflammation. Herbs and spices like turmeric and ginger can also add flavour and beneficial plant compounds. Combined with regular physical activity, this eating pattern supports healthy aging and overall well-being.
Denture Cleaning 101
Cleaning dentures properly helps maintain oral health and keeps them comfortable to wear. Remove dentures daily and rinse them under running water to wash away food and debris. Use a soft denture brush and a nonabrasive denture cleanser to gently clean all surfaces. Avoid regular toothpaste, as it can scratch dentures. Soak them overnight in a denture cleaning solution to help remove stains and bacteria. Rinse dentures thoroughly before wearing them again. Also clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily to prevent irritation and keep your mouth healthy and fresh.
