  • The Low Down on CBD for Hormones and Pain Management

    What do you need to know about CBD? How is chiropractic care beneficial for pain management? With more than 20 years of experience at the pulse of the global health & wellness industry, chiropractic doctor Andrew Kerklaan shares his knowledge about these topics and more.

    You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode154.

     

    Topics Discussed in This Episode:

    • What is CBD
    • The endocannabinoid system
    • The role that CBD plays in improving hormonal health
    • Dosing CBD
    • Chiropractic care
    • Pain management
    • How stress can manifest as physical pain

     

    Key Takeaways:

    • Movement is an integral part of us being healthy.
    • Chiropractic care is the art and science of helping someone move better.
    • You can think of chiropractic care as manual therapy. If you think of your body as levers and muscles all working together, if you have a mechanical issue, it makes sense to take a mechanical approach to help yourself improve.
    • The endocannabinoid system is a signaling system where enzymes and hormone-type molecules are used to communicate between receptors among cells and help cells regulate their function.
    • The theories around the endocannabinoid system are that it’s there to help regulate the overall function of the body. It regulates sleep, mood, digestion, immune response, nervous system function, etc.
    • If you can improve the function of your endocannabinoid system, you have the potential to help many different functions within the human body.

     

    Action Steps:

    • Do some research on the endocannabinoid system.
    • Change your stress response through activity and exercise.

     

    Andrew said:

    “You have to respect health from the perspective of taking a wellness approach. Nutrition is a pillar; sleep is a pillar; movement is a pillar… taking a natural approach to helping people improve those aspects of their health and well-being is a crucial part of being healthy.”

     

    “We could help someone feel better and be looser and have more mobility, but ultimately, they really have to do something about their stress management and stress response.”

  • Nutrition for All Stages of Pregnancy

    How can you ensure being well-nourished before, during, and after pregnancy? Doula and perinatal nutrition coach, Lindsay Taylor talks about what it means to eat well during all the stages of pregnancy, and how to use food to get empowered before pregnancy and thrive postpartum.

    You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode152.

     

    Topics Discussed in This Episode:

    • How you should nourish your body before pregnancy
    • How nutrition changes during pregnancy
    • Supplementing with folate or folic acid
    • Getting genetic testing before starting a family
    • The impact of environmental toxins on pregnancy
    • The foods we're told not to eat when pregnant
    • Supplementation before, during, and after pregnancy
    • How to support yourself postpartum through nutrition

     

    Key Takeaways:

    • We often look at pregnancy as the time when the egg is fertilized and when we get a positive pregnancy test. But there's an even earlier stage of development that's critical to a woman getting pregnant and setting the stage for that pregnancy, and that's what's happening to the egg before it's fertilized.
    • Before an egg is ovulated, there's a window of opportunity of three or four months where we can impact our likelihood of getting pregnant and how healthy that egg is.
    • New research shows that there's an increased risk of pregnancy loss with increased levels of caffeine. But it's very likely that low levels of caffeine are still okay. The guideline says to keep it under 200 mg a day, so it really depends on what you're comfortable with.
    • Your nutrient and energy needs in postpartum, especially if you're breastfeeding, are actually higher than during pregnancy.
    • What postpartum nutrient depletion basically means is that when you go through a pregnancy, for nine months, your body is going to take all the nutrients you have and preferentially give them to the baby. So oftentimes, our needs aren't met.

    Action Steps:

    • Eat as many meals as you can from home and from scratch, especially vegetables.
    • Reduce, if not eliminate, your exposure to environmental toxins. Start in your kitchen with the materials that you use and your personal care products.
    • Consider lowering your caffeine intake in the first trimester when the pregnancy is most vulnerable.
    • Supplement with prenatal vitamins and choline.
    • Batch-cook meals, and make food that you can grab and eat with one hand.
    • Prep foods that would support your healing after pregnancy.

     

    Lindsay said:

    “The wild thing about the world of eating and nutrition in pregnancy is that it's full of misinformation. Most of the advice comes from a place of fear instead of facts, and we have old-school beliefs that are circulating nonstop."

    “We get very caught up in what we need in pregnancy [that] we sort of forget about how important postpartum can be."

  • How I've Uplevelled My Health and Well-being in the Past Year - Plant Medicine, Sleep, Sex and So Much More!

    Are you looking to level up your personal care and self-care? Listen in as I share how I’ve taken things to a higher level when it comes to my health and well-being over the past year.

    You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode151.

     

    Topics Discussed in This Episode:

    • Working inwards
    • Focus
    • Sleep
    • My favorite nighttime supplements
    • Acupuncture
    • Incorporating herbs
    • Hiking
    • Having an evening downtime
    • Playtime with my pets
    • Having more sex
    • Movement
    • Water and hyper hydrating
    • Red and infrared LED light therapy
    • Infrared sauna
    • Delegating more and hiring more
    • Plant medicine

     

    Key Takeaways:

    • Working inwards is all about getting quiet and sitting with some discomfort and feelings of fear, doubt, and overwhelm brought about by stories that you tell yourself, and then getting rid of the things that are not serving you.
    • Sleep is the most important thing you can do to rejuvenate and detox your body and reset your hormonal health.
    • There’s a big puzzle when it comes to health. There are many pieces that make it up, and sex is a part of it.
    • If you’re an entrepreneur or you’re thinking of starting your own business, the faster you can delegate things out and bring somebody on to your team, the faster your business will grow.

    Action Steps:

    • Learn to tune out the outside noise and focus. Tune in to your gut and your intuition and trust that.
    • Set healthy sleep boundaries such as committing to going to bed at the same time every night.
    • Consider getting an acupuncture treatment.
    • Have more sex.
    • Practice hyper-hydrating.
    • Consider getting an infrared sauna.
    • Delegate tasks more.

     

    Samantha said:

    “If you’re not sleeping, you’re not healing.”

    “Sex isn’t something that just begins in the bedroom. Sex is something that starts outside of the bedroom, in your everyday environment, with how you and your partner communicate with each other.”

    You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode150.

     

    Topics Discussed in This Episode:

    • Intermittent fasting
    • The root causes of SIBO and its symptoms
    • Tips to improve stomach acid
    • Why women get more bloated than men
    • Why getting the SIBO test is important and how you should prepare for it
    • What supplementation you need if you're prone to SIBO
    • How food and nutrition can impact SIBO
    • The connection between Hashimoto's and SIBO

     

    Key Takeaways:

    • SIBO stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It's not a disease in and of itself but a sign that something has gone wrong in your body. 
    • The majority of your gut bacteria is in your large intestine. Your small intestine is where you absorb your nutrients, so it isn't designed to withstand large numbers of gut bacteria. When a large number of bacteria is present there, they compete for your nutrients.
    • Research shows that the vast majority of all IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) cases are caused by SIBO.
    • Your liver is an integral part of your digestive system. When you're told "You have to heal your gut," this includes your liver too.
    • Diet is not a treatment for SIBO. Rather, it's a supplemental strategy that can help you reduce the symptoms.
    • Diets that are primarily for SIBO/IBS are incredibly restrictive. It would be ideal to find some sort of a happy medium. If you reduce your diet too much during treatment, you may risk that some of the bacteria just go into hibernation. On the other hand, you don't want to be eating things that are going to make you miserable.

     

    Action Steps:

    • Improve your stomach acid by taking fresh lemon juice. Or you can dilute a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with water and drink it 15 to 30 minutes before a meal.
    • Practice mindful eating.
    • If you're experiencing any symptoms of SIBO, get the SIBO test.
    • Supplement with digestive enzymes and vitamin D.
    • Eat like you're a pregnant person if you know that you're prone to food poisoning.
    • Space out your meals and don't snack as much.

     

    Phoebe said:

    “Everyone's SIBO is very different from one another, partially because everyone's microbiome is more unique than a fingerprint. That is true no matter where the bacteria are taking up residence. And it's one reason why SIBO can be complicated to treat."

    "People often forget that treatment is very different from healing. And oftentimes, treatment in and of itself can cause more damage and require more healing."
