The importance of liver & digestive health in the management of stress
How many of us have just gone through tremendous amounts of stress dealing with the various changes in our life due to the pandemic? And how many have had a hard time staying on track with their healthy diets and various other healthy lifestyle habits?

Stress can cause havoc on our hormones, our digestion and our detoxification pathways. Spring is a great time to reset and reboot the system while still managing and being cognizant of our various stressors. Making sure that you are keeping hydrated and getting adequate sleep are two things you can start working on.

At the Fredericton Naturopathic Clinic, we can consult with you about the best way to proceed with managing stress, helping your digestion and detoxification pathways,

and making sure you are back on track with your healthy habits.

Cupping

Have you been seeing dots? Maybe you have noticed and wondered why more and more athletes and celebrities are showing up to events with little round marks on their body. These marks may come from cupping, an alternative therapy with dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Middle Eastern cultures

By using specialized cups that create suction and are placed directly on the skin your therapist is able to increase blood circulation to specific areas of the body. This technique can be used to relieve muscle tension which can promote cell repair. It may also help realign and form connective tissue called fascia. People incorporate this modality into treatments for a number of reasons including:

Lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and migraines, knee pain,

carpal tunnel syndrome, lympathic return, relaxation and increased range of motion.

 

Let Elizabeth know if you'd like to incorporate this into your next treatment!

Naturopathic doctors are trained in the interpretation of conventional medical laboratory testing and have access to specialized private lab services as well.  Many of our patients appreciate spending time reviewing the results of lab tests ordered by their medical doctor or nurse practitioner.  This thorough review might lead to further insights into underlying health issues and / or point to further testing through a private lab.  Some of the tests commonly ordered through private labs at our clinic include: comprehensive stool analysis, IgG food sensitivities, salivary hormones, comprehensive thyroid panels, Lyme disease, heavy metals and cardiometabolic profiles among others.  Feel free to call for more information!
