We’re so excited about our new Super bag! It’s the Super Nutritive IV Bag and it’s full of so many good things.

Here’s the breakdown:
Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, B5, B6, B12, Magnesium, Calcium, Molybdenate, Manganese, Potassium, Zinc, Selenium, and Amino Acids.

This is an awesome bag and is my new favourite for really helping you feel better faster.

It’s a great one for Fertility, Low energy, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Crohn’s & Colitis, IBS and generally feeling like crap.

I personally do really well with the amino acids and they make me feel like a million bucks.

Natural treatment for insomnia

March 20, 2015 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

We often enquire about our patients sleep as it is integral to good health. Far too often, our patients report sleep disturbance or insomnia (either being unable to fall asleep or waking in the night). So when we came across this study published in JAMA Intern Med. 2015 Feb. we had to share.

meditate to sleep

This study compared Mindfulness Meditation to Sleep Hygiene Education (the implementation of proper sleep habits like dark rooms and no TV’s).

After one year, the meditation group had significant improvement in:

  • insomnia symptoms
  • depressive symptoms
  • fatigue
  • inflammatory markers

So how do you start? Check out some of these resources and begin your mindful journey to better sleep and better health.

There is also a free online program available.

Yours in Health,

Pre-conception plan increases IVF success by 47%

June 13, 2014 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

For so many couples, naturally conceiving a child just isn’t in the cards.

While fertility clinics offer the hope of a child through IVF, there are things that IVF doesn’t offer.

IVF does not improve:

  • Chromosomes
  • Mitochondria
  • Children’s health outcomes
  • Pregnancy health

Foresight, the Association for Pre-conceptual healthcare in the UK shows that couples going through IVF are up to 47% more successful if they used a pre-conception healthcare plan prior to using ART.

At Rooted, we can help you prepare your body before IVF to help you get the most out of your experience.

May Detox – What Goes In?

May 6, 2014 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Many people decide to do a detox during the spring months but focusing on what’s going in your body is just as important as what’s going out of your body.

During a spring detox, you will most likely be looking at foods or herbs to help you with your detox. What about the other things that you intake? How about the air you breathe, the liquid you drink, and what you put on your skin?

spring detox

Quality of Air

Everything that comes into our body we must use or shuttle back out. During a detox (and really all the time) it’s another great opportunity to lessen your exposure to toxic chemicals and freshen your air naturally. We are exposed to many chemicals in our regular environment. Try starting at home by eliminating artificial air fresheners and chemical based cleaners. Try essential oils, home cooking, or good old baking soda to help freshen your air. There are also a multitude of green home cleaning suggestions and recipes you can find online.

More research is being conducted that shows us the connection between air pollution and conditions such as asthma, allergies, and even autism. Invest in a high quality air purifier for your home like Blue Air or IQ Air.

Quality of Liquid

During a detox you should still to liquids such as:

  • Purified water (not in small pastic bottles)
  • 100% fruit or vegetable juice
  • Herbal teas

We know that too much pop and sugary drinks are not very nutritious or good for our health. Give your body a break from the junk and drink clean, pure liquids your body knows how to deal with.

The quality of your water is important too. There are different opinions on which type of water is best.

City Water Thoroughly tested and treated however contains things like bromine and chlorine which can cause some issues for some sensitive people. Buy a chlorine shower filter for your shower head.
Reverse Osmosis Nothing is left in the water. Very pure, clean tasting. However, some believe the water is “dead” as nothing is left in it.
Bottled water – 500ml etc Quality of water is questionable as they don’t have as strict standards. Plastic leaching into the water is a toxin for your body – drink water in glass, ceramic or stainless steel.
Alkaline water All toxins have been removed and then it is remineralized for your benefit. Some suggest starting slowly to incorporate this into your diet.

 

During your detox I would recommend you stick to reverse osmosis water or alkaline water. See your local water suppliers like Aquamart.

Quality of Food

Eat real food – this is a great mantra for your spring detox. Eat things that have one ingredient in the label. For example: carrots, quinoa, chicken. Avoid things in a box or can or prepared with preservatives or other chemicals. You can season your own food and start from scratch.

Should I go organic?

Every year the Environmental Working Group analyzes the fruits and vegetables available in the grocery store. They rank them from the most contaminated with pesticides to the least contaminated. Here are the top 12 aka “The Dirty Dozen of 2014.”

  1. Apples
  2. Strawberries
  3. Grapes
  4. Celery
  5. Peaches
  6. Spinach
  7. Sweet Bell Peppers
  8. Nectarines
  9. Cucumbers
  10. Cherry Tomatoes
  11. Snap Peas
  12. Potatoes

Quality of Skin Care

Your skin absorbs the things you put on it. For a true detox, try to limit the products you use on a daily basis. Look at your moisturizers, makeup, shaving cream etc. Women put a multitude of products on our skin, hair, face and nails every day. Take an inventory of the number of products you use and you might be surprised the actual number and the ingredient lists on those containers.

For your detox try to limit what you normally use. Try coconut oil in your hair as a smooth finisher after blow-drying. How about olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil on your skin? If you can eat it, you can also put it on your skin. My personal favourite moisturizer is by Kiss My Face, which you can find at the health food store or in the health food section at big grocery stores.

So, when does your detox start?

Did you know the amount of bread you eat during pr Did you know the amount of bread you eat during pregnancy could be linked to your baby's risk of developing diabetes?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Risk of type 1 diabetes in babies increased proportionally with maternal gluten intake during pregnancy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Women with highest intake versus the lowest had double the risk of type 1 diabetes in their offspring. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So how much should you eat? This particular study recommended less than 7 grams a day of gluten. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does that look like? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, there's about 2-2.5g of gluten in:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 slice of wheat-based bread⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
½ English muffin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
½ cup wheat-based cereal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
½ cup of cooked wheat-based pasta⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8-10 saltine crackers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
½ large dinner roll⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What should you do instead? Try other types of gluten-free grains like rice, quinoa, buckwheat and millet. Try adding more veggies to your pasta dishes with a little less noodle.
Listen, this has been hard. Being at home with the Listen, this has been hard. Being at home with the kids while trying to maintain work has been a huge challenge.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trying to keep the house clean? Forget it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of the mom guilt. It doesn't serve you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're still in survival mode. We're still living a life that is NOT normal. Cut yourself some slack. Give yourself some time-off. What about joining me for a Mom Support Group? You deserve to do something for you, too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is one of the most heart-wrenching experience This is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences. 

Leaving your child, and they are clinging to you with panic, fear, and tears.

I've worked with people of all ages when it comes to anxiety. Children, teens, women, and men.

Your child might have been born on the more anxious side. It could be part of their nature. Or it might be part of your family - a culture of anxiety. Or it might have seemingly come out of nowhere. 

Know that there are things we can do for all ages. 

Start by loving them and acknowledging how they feel. 

Then fill your toolbox with tools for them. I'm here to help you fill that box. 

DM me and let’s chat about your child.
Here are 3 questions I get asked most about acupun Here are 3 questions I get asked most about acupuncture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DOES IT HURT?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The insertion of the very fine needles you sometimes feel. Once it's in you either feel nothing at all or you feel interesting sensations like "warming," "spreading," "zinging," OR "heaviness." It usually settles down and then you may feel nothing for the rest of the treatment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IS ACUPUNCTURE COVERED UNDER MY BENEFITS?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- At our clinic it is billed as a "naturopathic visit." So if you have naturopathic coverage, then you're covered. If you're not sure, check your paperwork or give your company a quick call.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHAT HOURS DO YOU OFFER ACUPUNCTURE?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Myself, along with Drs. Sarah and Morgan, all offer acupuncture in our schedules. It's ok if you see one of us then another. We all work together well. Book online for the time that works best for you! We have daytime, evening and every other Saturday hours available.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOW DO I GET STARTED?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- You can book online for a 45 minute acupuncture intake. We'll go through your health history, pros and cons and get started with a treatment.
Why do I work with fertility? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the biggest reasons is to help give hope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Couples are struggling, devastated, and feeling helpless. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to help give them back control. To help them heal their bodies, become stronger and healthier, and to help them conceive naturally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The other reason is to help build super babies from the very beginning. There are amazing things we can do when we take care of parents health even before conception. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're struggling, you're not alone. I'm here to help.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
