We often don't talk about #postpartum mental #wellness. When we do, it is in relation to the mum but both mums and dads can experience mood changes with the arrival of the new baby #depression #mentalhealth #calgary #BellLetsTalk http://www.suhanishah.ca/postpartum-depression/

I haven’t specified any doses or specific supplements for the vitamins, probiotics, and herbs because the therapeutic dose a person should be taking is individualized based on what else is going on - see your healthcare provider for which one you should be taking.  There are different supplements and doses for kids and adults! . Interested in strengthening your and your child’s immune system for the rest of this winter OR even to get ahead on Spring allergy prevention, 📞 📲 403-247-9301 for a naturopathic assessment or simply DM me. ————— #yyc #calgary #calgarylife #immuneboost #coldandflu #naturalhealth #yychealth #yycmoms #yyckids #kidshealth #vitaminc #hygiene #healthyhabits #guthealth #downtowncalgary #airdrie #brentwood #ivdrips #nutrition #pediatrichealth #naturopathicpediatrics
Instagram post 2242347384137290383_144693574 One of my favourite things to do is wake up in the morning and sit on my bed and daydream or do nothing for a bit. I have done this forever... in my school days, my mum and sister used to get so annoyed! . Over the last few days, I have discovered I can still do this but just have to wake up earlier. Waking up at 6AM or an hour earlier than you usually do can help get so much done! I get ready, squeeze in a meditation and read a book. It leaves me feeling more centred to get the day going rather than getting ready in a hurry and leaving the house for work. I feel more productive and have more energy throughout the day rather than all over the place. No I am not sacrificing sleep... just going to bed earlier so I get my 7-8 hours!!! Let me know ⬇️ if you are fans of waking up before sunrise too?! . ---------- #yyc #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #6amclub #productivity #energy #motivation #happiness #earlyriser #naturopathicdoctor #yychealth #corporatewellness #meditation #growth #changeyourmindset

Instagram post 2236171507082961368_144693574 I was experimental baking a few days ago and decided to make this paleo vegan pumpkin banana loaf/cake/bar.  It’s made from almond flour and coconut flour.  It tastes SO good 😋 and is very moist It was very dense though which might be the case since it is vegan, has pumpkin, and has no gluten.  I will be making this again experimenting with changing up some of the ingredients and will post the best recipe on the blog (hopefully in the near future) Totally open to suggestions for making vegan and gluten-free baked goods rise :) leave a comment ⬇️ ---------- #baking #paleo #glutenfree #vegan #pumpkin #banana #bananabread #foodbloggersca #foodblogger #yycliving #yyc #calgarylife #yycfoodie #nutrition #calgary #recipetesting #recipedevelopment #almondflour #coconutflour #grainfree #recipedevelopera

Instagram post 2232205783834482286_144693574 😴 Sleeping well is so key for functioning during the day.  If I don’t get a good night’s sleep (especially if it’s been for a few days), I don’t feel productive and I also feel more emotional and get annoyed, sad, or anxious by the smallest situations. Not being able to sleep can be because of so many reasons like 🏋️‍♂️ or 🍔 too late; having caffeine ☕ (non-herbal teas or coffee) at night; anxiety; stress or other reasons.  Sometimes a simple melatonin supplement works and other times, it involves “re-wiring” the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis & regulating your circadian rhythm and cortisol/melatonin levels. Sometimes I make my golden milk at night and add 1 teaspoon of @organictraditions ashwagandha powder to it. Last night, I slept like a baby 🛌! I ❤ Ashwagandha for its effects on lowering cortisol Hit up my website and go to Recipes—>Beverages for the turmeric golden milk recipe (you may have to scroll a bit). Make it with 1 teaspoon of ashwagandha powder! 📲 Website link in bio -------------- #ashwagandha #insomnia #sleep #mentalwellness #bellletstalk #yyc #calgary #calgarylife #yycmoms #anxiety #stress #goldenmilk #moonmilk #yycliving #canadianwinters #downtowncalgary #corporatewellness
Instagram post 2227533745893140510_144693574 IRON is one of the key minerals where requirements increase in the later part of the second trimester. In the third trimester, babe will start to store iron so if moms have suboptimal levels at this time, she can become iron deficient as the iron is passed onto the developing baby . 🤰Pregnancy can be tiring as it is and when iron levels drop, this can make you feel even more fatigued, have low blood pressure, and restless legs . 🤰Ensuring optimal iron levels preconception can help to minimize your risk of a miscarriage and premature birth . 💊 Most prenatals will contain some iron but speaking with your healthcare provider will ensure you are taking the right amount and form as some forms of iron can worsen constipation . 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Speak to your medical doctor or naturopathic doctor about optimizing your iron for pregnancy or assessing your iron status if you are feeling extremely exhausted during your pregnancy ------------ #pregnancy #yycmoms #iron #irondeficiency #fatigue #lowenergy #prenatal #preconception #fertility #calgarymoms #yyc #calgary #calgarylife #yycliving #babies #naturopathicperinatalcare #perinatalcare #healthypregnancy #canada #downtowncalgary #northwestcalgary #momstobe #preggo a
Instagram post 2225326232500062134_144693574 A quick word on exercise and cortisol.  Cortisol is your “stress hormone” and also known as the “blood sugar hormone” (glucocorticoid). Too much and too little are not good . 🙌 Cortisol is at its highest in the morning to help us wake up and get our day started by shutting off our melatonin production . 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️ Exercising in the morning is beneficial because you can get the added power of cortisol to boost your workout.  Exercise also increases cortisol which can give you more energy in the morning to power through your day.  This is also why you don’t want to do intense exercise in the evening as it can affect sleep.  Gentler physical activity like swimming, dance, or yoga is better for the evenings. 🧘‍♂️💃🏊‍♀️ . Oh, and testosterone is highest in the morning too further contributing to a better morning workout! 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️ . Plus, you may just get to see a beautiful sunrise too by waking up early If you struggle with sleep, waking up, energy, exercising, and decreased strength then there are some great testing options for looking at your hormones!
