Show Notes:
Today I am joined by naturopathic doctor, Catherine Multari to discuss common challenges faced by First Responders and Front Line Workers when it comes to nutrition, and strategies to benefit our brains to support sustainable health through nutrition and supplementation. And yes, we go WAY beyond “salad good, junk food bad” and work to make our conversation applicable to real people with real lives and the need for convenience in the midst of the chaos.
Catherine Multari is a licensed naturopathic doctor. She has been practicing in Port Moody, BC for two years. Previously Catherine was an elite athlete competing in the sport of rowing for team Canada on the international stage. Her experience as an athlete highlighted the importance of health basics- sleep, nutrition, supplementation and visualisation. Following her athletic career, Catherine has spent the last 7 years diving deep into the basic pillars of health and transitioning to a clinical role- where she now helps patients of all ages and backgrounds build a health foundation that can figuratively wither any storm. To connect with Dr. Multari, email [email protected].
During this episode we talk about common presentations of First Responders and Front Line Workers in Dr. Multari’s office – including inflammation, feeling exhausted, fatigued or lethargic, struggling with racing thoughts, and a general sense of feeling not healthful or experiencing a full, rich and connected life. We talk about ways our nutrition choices can add to this picture, creating a vicious cycle, and ways to step out of the cycle. We also discuss common supplementation needs for those in high stress jobs, and the ways these benefit your brain so you can keep doing what you do to the best of your ability.
