What’s the BEST #nutrition plan to be on? There are so many options out there, and each has its pros and cons: 🤤💕 • - #ketodiet is great for weight loss and hormone balancing ⚖️🥑 - #paleo is great for blood sugar balancing and consuming high nutrient density foods 🥩🥬 - #vegan is great for #environmentalsustainability and #ethical reasons✌🏻🌱 - #glutenfree / #antiinflammatory diets are amazing for reducing inflammation when we have skin conditions, autoimmune disease, or pain 🌾🤕 - #lowfodmap is a great tool when we’re #bloated or have #sibo or #ibs (see my post about this... it doesn’t treat the cause!!) 🎈 • Each diet plan should be tailored to your individual preferences, health goals, and lifestyle - regardless of the specifics on the menu. 🥦🍓🍠 • We always need to make sure you’re hitting your macros (protein, fat, carbs including fibre), and getting enough micronutrients (iron, selenium, calcium etc) no matter what #mealplan you’re on. 🙌🏻 • ❗️TIP❗️use @myfitnesspal or another meal tracking program to make sure you’re hitting all your bases.🧐 • If you’re not sure of the best meal plan for you, or you’re looking for something more tailored to your daily life or health goals, then book an appointment and I’d be happy to help! 👩🏼‍⚕️link in bio☝🏻 • #torontonaturopath #the6ix #torontohealth #torontofinancialdistrict #firstcanadianplace #keto #paleodiet #etobicoke #villageofislington #nutritionplan
Happy #FamilyDay from my family to yours! Celebrating the #love , support and #respect that truly binds any #family together. • #familyday2019 #torontofamilyday #happyfamilyday #torontonaturopath #petlove #friendship
I love myself. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my career. I love my struggles, flaws, challenges, and weaknesses. I love being in nature. I love dancing. I love getting to know new people. I love great food and wine. I love nourishing and challenging my body, and helping others to do the same. • What defines love in your life? How do the things you love shape your daily life? Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to reflect on this powerful four letter word. • Happy Valentine’s Day, wishing you more of the people and things you love most. 💕 • #valentinesday #bemyvalentine #valentine #love #torontonaturopath #firstcanadianplace #torontofinancialdistrict #etobicoke #happyvalentinesday
Most people never even think about their small intestine 🤔. Did you know that, in addition to being the highway connecting our stomach to our large intestine, the small intestine absorbs 90% of our body’s nutrients through finger-like projections called micro-villi. 🍏➡️💩. • When we have #SIBO , which is an overgrowth if bacteria in the small intestine👾👾👾, we have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients including #vitamimB12 , B1, B3, vitamin A, #vitaminD , vitamin E, and iron.😱 • This occurs because of damage to the villi (the surface that would normally absorb nutrients) and an increase in inflammatory mediators 🧨 (cytokines, for my fellow 🤓) caused by inappropriate strains of bacteria living in the SI. 🦠 • This explains why SIBO patients often feel #exhausted, #depressed, and debilitated. Some have aches and pains, headaches and more.🤕 • Understanding the full extent of SIBO is an important aspect of effectively managing this condition. 🙏🏻 Please make sure that addressing this is part of your long term care plan! 💕 • Link in bio for more info, or www.drhilarychambers.com/SIBO/ • #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #torontonaturopath #gutflora #guthealth #ibs #bloatedbelly #digestionsupport #torontofinancialdistrict #villageofislington #torontohealth #bloated
