It is useful to review your year before a new year starts. We have had the winter solstice so the days will start to get longer again. This is a positive. We have to look for small victories and positive things to focus on. What we can be grateful for?! Reviewing your year and making a note of what good things happened and where you grew in a positive way. Write these things down and affirm yourself. The world is still coming out of a pandemic so it will take some time to get back to normal. Because I am a naturopathic doctor I am focused on optimizing my health and the health of all my patients. What did you do for your health this past year that was a positive? Before we start the new year, reflect on the good things you did for your health this past year. Maybe you consistently ate more vegetables; maybe you ate more plants and less meat. Maybe you ate less sugar and limited dairy and gluten because you know they upset your system. Focus on what was positive about your health care last year. Be proud of the fact that you exercised consistently last year. How can you improve your health moving forward? I know I need to do more regular yoga and weights. My partner got me 5 pound barbells for me which are a little easier than the 10 pound barbells I have. My plan is to be more consistent with doing weights in my condo. I walk to work and back approximately 4 days a week for about 25 minutes each way. I exercise every day for at least 30 minutes to ensure that I sleep well. I meditate for at least 20 minutes a day. This helps me stay calm and assuages my anxiety. I choose to intermittently fast over night for twelve hours to give my glympathic system time to do its job overnight. The glympathic system cleans out your system overnight and keeps your whole body running smoothly. I am proud of what I have done this year in my commitment to my business. I want to improve my patient numbers this year and so I will reflect on what I have done well this year with an eye on what I can improve on in this next year. I need to drink more water. That is something I can definitely improve this year in terms of my health. Hope everyone had a good holiday. Until I post again, be well and enjoy your loved ones.
Living in Balance with MS
I am really grateful that I can live in balance with MS. I talked to my Mom today and she asked me how I am feeling. I said I am feeling great. I am in stable remission and it is because I take such good care of myself. I went for lunch with my sister a couple of weeks ago and I was saying how good it feels to be in stable remission to her. I know how I feel and how much energy I have. I walk to work and back when I have clients. That is 25 minutes each way in the winter with ice and snow to contend with. I have had bad flares in the past so I also know how it feels to be sick. Staying well is much easier when I do a few things. I avoid sugar like the plague. I have a dairy free dark chocolate square for a treat. I know that I must be perfect with my diet to be able to work full time. The other most important factor is that I eat a diet low in saturated fat. I keep my saturated fat under 25 grams/day. Even eating one meal that is higher in saturated fat can set you back so do not cheat with fast food or tempura! I eat a vegan diet that is flexible. If my partner cooks chicken, turkey or clean fish I will eat it. I try to eat as many vegetables as possible (7-8) servings to improve mood! Iexercise every day at least 30 minutes daily and I have added some free weights to my regime to help preserve my bone density. It is harder in the winter months because of the darkness but just know we are approaching winter solstice on December 21/2022 and the light will start to return with a more optimistic outlook accompanying it. Have a great November! I have an Emotional Freedom Technique and counseling special for $99 for the hour. Come in and see me at Parallel Wellness! 4032321283
Why I love using Unda’s for acute conditions like cold, fever, sore throats, etc
I love being certified in Biotherapeutic Drainage. It is a type of specialty where the underlying goal is to support physiology while gently eliminating toxins. It is my most effective medicine when treating acute conditions which are very prevalent right now due to the time of year. It is not suppressive medicine which conventional medicine largely is, rather it treats the cause and works on supporting systems in your body to create optimal health. I spent the last two days transferring some of my biotherapeutic drainage notes that I have done on webinars over the years so they are in one place- my computer. I was entering a lot of notes on treating pediatric conditions so it was a review of that for me. One common option that is seen in North America is treating a fever with Tylenol in western medicine. I use Unda 2 and Unda 15 to treat a fever- it is highly effective in treating a fever and helping the temperature come down in an acute situation. There are other single homeopathic medicines for acutes that work well. Belladonna 9 ch is a good remedy to have on hand in the winter if you have kids. You can take five pellets if your child has a fever that is on the high side. Take the dose every 20 minutes for three times to see if you can get some relief. Unda’s are combination homeopathic medicines that originate in Europe. They have a long tradition of use and they are highly effective. One of my favorite sets to use in patients that are catching a cold is Unda 2, 15, 5, 710. Typically five drops six times a day is utilized in an acute condition. This set has saved me from catching a cold numerous times. I would way rather prevent a cold then treat one that has set in. Unda medicines are easy to tolerate and do not have negative side effects. They open your emunctories so you can safely eliminate toxins from your body. Another favorite set to have on hand is Unda 2, 37, 312, 15- this is very effective for treating sore throats in the winter. If you are interested in options for highly effective medicine, this cold and flu season, make an appointment with me at Parallel Wellness in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Be well, Dr. Robin Vinge, ND
