Trust Your Mommy Gut

April 3, 2019 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Your Mommy Gut. The little voice inside you or pit in your stomach that whispers, I want to do things differently.

Have you ever had that feeling? Where you just didn’t think something was right? Or something wasn’t right for you?

The thing is, there are a million different parenting decisions we make every week… what to feed them, how to react or not react to their behaviour, what time to put them to bed, how to respond to their cough or cold or fever. The list goes on.

It’s a hard job making all of those decisions!

And sometimes you want to do things differently than everyone else.

And you know what? That’s ok.

Your superpower is your Mommy Gut. Your intuition that tells you “You know what? This is what feels right for me. This is what feels right for our family.”

Sometimes you will ask for others opinions or advice. Sometimes you will take it and sometimes you won’t. But what I want you to do this week is sit quietly with yourself and the decisions weighing on your mind.

What DO YOU want to do? How DO YOU want to react? What FEELS RIGHT to YOU?

Trust your Mommy Gut. It’s there for a reason.

You’re doing a great job.

And if you want to ask for a little help or a little non-judgmental advice. I’m here for you

I’m pregnant! Week 19

January 19, 2015 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Hey there,

I thought it would be great to share my journey with you as I go along. It would be fun to share any new information I learn during my pregnancy with you if you are also going on a pregnancy journey.

I’m in the good phase now. Ask Kerri or my husband how I was at the beginning. I was not very fun to be around at times! Grumpy and bitchy Whitney. I think I remember at one point saying “remind me never to get pregnant again!” So, I wasn’t very happy I guess. I was very tired, nauseous and grumpy.

But as quickly as it came on, it went away.

Now I’m in the good phase. I’m loving being pregnant. Baby is starting to make itself known with some movements, which is very exciting!

I haven’t started my 2nd trimester teas yet but I should really get on it. I’ve been fairly faithful with my supplements.

I’ll talk to you soon with more updates. If you are pregnant let me know how you are doing!

Talk soon,

Whitney

Myer’s Cocktails – Who Needs Them Most?

August 9, 2012 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

A Myer’s Cocktail is a combination of vitamins and electrolytes given intravenously in high therapeutic doses. The name came from Dr. John Myers MD who pioneered the use of these IV vitamins in this combination. There can be slight variations in the number and quantity of vitamins used. The formulation that we use has Magnesium Chloride, Calcium Gluconate, B-Complex, Vitamin C, Dexpanthenol (B5) and Pyridoxine (B6). Myer’s Cocktails can be a very attractive treatment modality and has become very popular treatment for patients in our clinic.

Common uses for Myer’s Cocktails include:

  1. Patients who come to us very ill, especially those that have been having chronic bowel issues and malabsorption.
  2. People with poor immune function who tend to get sick easily or have chronic sinusitis.
  3. Chronic issues such as Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  4. Athletes commonly do a Myer’s Cocktail before and after a marathon to help speed recovery
  5. Cancer treatments and protocols often use high dose Vitamin C
  6. Hives of unknown origin will often respond well to Myer’s Cocktails

Dosing

For patients who are quite ill or run down, we typically recommend doing a Myer’s Cocktail every 7-10 days for 3-4 treatments to get their levels back up. We would then recommend that patients follow their intuition. Patients can usually tell when they need another cocktail. It is common for patients to do one every month or two until they feel like they are back on track and then they may do one every 3-4 months for maintenance and then on as as-needed basis if they start to feel run down, get fatigues, or start to get upper-respiratory infections.

Booking

Please email or book a free meet the doctor visit online to find out more about Myer’s Cocktails and if they are the right treatment for you.
