This is a simple and super tasty Whole30 compliant meal, taco salad!

🥙Sauté some ground beef or ground turkey (or cooked black beans if you’re vegan)with onions, garlic and spices: cumin, paprika, chilli pepper flakes, chipotle powder, salt and pepper.
:
🍅Make tomato salsa with diced heirloom tomatoes, red onion, lemon and lime juice and salt. Or if you don’t have time, pick up a jar of your favourite salsa.

🥬Place a bed of chopped romaine lettuce in a bowl, top with pea shoots, ground beef/turkey, tomato salsa and some guacamole.

So we’re 3 weeks into the new year and you’ve been doing really well with your resolutions by going to the gym, eating healthy and trying to get a good night's sleep. However you still feel tired, your body is aching and sometimes you feel light headed.. If this sounds like you, you might be suffering from Adrenal Fatigue.
🍃
Adrenal fatigue may be clearly diagnosed and well-treated at @toronto.naturopaths.

It is a term applied to a collection of nonspecific symptoms, such as body aches, fatigue, nervousness, sleep disturbances and digestive problems, but is not commonly recognized in conventional medicine.
🍃
Your adrenal glands produce a variety of hormones, particularly hormones your body uses to respond to stress. Adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease) refers to inadequate production of one or more of these hormones as a result of an underlying disease. Adrenal fatigue is a mild form of adrenal insufficiency caused by chronic stress in which your adrenal glands are unable to keep pace with the demands of your stress load.

Untreated adrenal fatigue may manifest as feelings of depression.
🍃
At Toronto Centre for Naturopathic Medicine, the goals of adrenal fatigue treatment are to reduce your reactivity to stress, improve the capacity of your adrenal gland to respond to stress and prevent recurrence of symptom episodes.

If you think you are suffering from adrenal fatigue, send us a message to schedule your complimentary meeting with one of our Naturopathic Doctors.

When doing a whole food cleanse such as the Whole30, you will need to stay on top of your snacks.

Most snacks are made with highly refined sugar, processed grains, and a lot of low quality oils.

Our snacks are usually a simple trail mix of raw nuts, raw seeds, dried fruit and dried coconut. That’s all. No preservatives such as sulfites, added sugar or added artificial or even “natural” flavouring.

Snacking doesn’t get easier than this.
Enjoy!

Healthy is an outfit that looks different on everybody.

Get outside!

Many think of January as a time to hole up at home and watch Netflix, but cold temperatures aren’t a reason to not enjoy the outdoors.

Bundle up, go for a walk or run, enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate at a café, breathe deeply of the refreshing, crisp air, and don’t miss out on half the year in Canada!

With our Metabolic Detoxification service, we help you clean from the inside out.

Anyone can benefit from periodic metabolic detoxification: we are all exposed to potentially harmful chemicals daily; we are not all genetically “efficient detoxifiers” (some of us are as much as 1000 times less efficient at detoxification than others); and research demonstrates that detoxifying efficiency can be improved using a metabolic detoxification program.

Completing a metabolic detoxification program may be ideal for you if you:
🌱Have been diagnosed with a health condition that may be related to exposure to toxic substances (e.g., fibromyalgia, infertility, obesity, hyperactivity) 🌱Frequently experience non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, poor concentration, headaches , abdominal bloating, constipation or muscle aches
🌱Work (e.g., farmer, painter) or live (e.g., old home, urban environment) in an environment where you are exposed to high levels of potentially toxic substances
🌱Are a “smoker”
🌱Are planning to become pregnant
🌱Have a score of greater than 15 on completion of a “Metabolic Screening Questionnaire” (a measurement tool for symptoms such as fatigue, poor concentration, headaches, abdominal bloating, constipation, muscle aches, etc. that may be related to inefficient metabolic detoxification)

Send us a message to learn more or call us to schedule your complimentary appointment with one of our ND’s.
