Birth Control: Hormones Redefined

So many years ago, in 2005, Du wrote an in-depth examination of oral contraceptives (“birth control pills”) in the now out-of-publication “Naturopathic Medicine Today”.

Most of the information is still relevant today – but also an interesting archive of conventional approaches to birth control in a decade ago (mostly unchanged).

Read it below:

How to Meditate plus Stress-Busting Benefits

Way back in 2015 Du contributed a post to our friends at Joyous Health on meditation (one of our favourite topics and a great idea for anyone!)

Something for Nothing – The Value of Free Play

Here’s a great parenting article from 2016 Du wrote for our friends at Joyous Health on “free play”, including the vast and growing scientific support for what a generation ago would have been considered time-wasting.

A great and important read for parents.

Healthy Snacks for Kids

Du and Joyous Health can’t get enough of talking about healthy snacks for kids!

Here’s a post Du contributed in 2015: as relevant today as it was then!

The Importance of DHA For A Baby’s Brain

Here’s an article, written by Du for our friends at  Joyous Health on the importance of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the developing human brain.

Ever wondered if mercury in fish is a concern? Whether vegetarians can consume adequate DHA via flax seed oil? All will be illuminated.

Total Sun Protection from the Inside Out

Way back in 2015, Du contributed an article to our friends at Joyous Health on foods one can eat that help your skin resist/recover from sun exposure.

Maybe not the thing for today (15 days from the shortest day of the year), but something to put in your back pocket for next summer?

Enjoy.

Two views: Head lice

Back, way before 2012 (when this article was updated), Du had a telephone interview with Chatelaine, comparing conventional and “alternative” approaches to managing head lice.

Here’s what they came up with between them!

On Hair Loss, Heartburn and Balms for Bums …

Back in the mid-aughts, NOW Magazine used to contact us somewhat regularly to comment on a section they used to publish featuring a range of opinions by different healthcare professionals, on managing different, common health concerns, wittily named.

As such, our names are associated with articles titled, among others:

Ah, the folly of youth.

The Human Microbiome: the Body’s Ecosystem

Way back in 2015, Du contributed an article to Green Moms Collective on the microbiome, a “hot” area of research in “alternative”, and indeed, all medicine now!

A great introduction to this emerging concept, including techniques for fostering and supporting a healthy “ecosystem” in you and your families!

Alternatives to Halloween’s Scariest Ingredients

Earlier this year, Du contributed an article to Green Moms Collective, with alternative ideas to the particularly unpleasant ingredients found in many common Halloween treats.

Baby Food Introduction

Way back in 2016, Du and I contributed a post to our friends at Joyous Health on introducing infants to solid foods, how to know when, which foods are safest to begin with, etc.

This post was actually the product the research we did for an article I contributed to EcoParent Magazine, that turned into a bit of a “rabbit hole”, and ended up significantly  changing our approach for food introduction at the office.
