living well supplements

why I believe in these products… Integrative medicine is the gift of combining both conventional medicine with alternative practices such as Naturopathic, Ayervedic and Chinese medicine. When the brilliance of these modes of healing are used together optimal health is eminent and simple.

My role as a Naturopathic Physician is to provide people with suggestions and guide them on making healthy lifestyle choices, including guidance on nutrition, herbal supplements, hydrotherapy techniques and more. I love the philosophies of Naturopathic Medicine as it provides a platform for supporting the body’s own ability to heal and fight off illness. I try to inspire people to respect and support their bodies.

I have selected supplements for this site that help support the body to be strong, healthy and maintain vitality. I use supplements that work with the body and avoid products that may create more work and disruption of the body’s rhythms and systems. When needed, I recommend herbal immune supplements to stimulate the immune system.

Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Oil

Fish oils have a multitude of health benefits. Cod liver oil contains vitamin A and D, which are both essential for supporting the immune system and EPA and DHA, which are important as anti-inflammatories and aid in neural development.

For more information please refer to their website for all of its benefits.

Probiotics

Probiotic means "pro life" and is the friendly bacteria found in your intestinal tract. The intestinal tract is full of good and bad bacteria. The good bacteria (acidophilus) keep the bad bacteria (yeast and fungi) under control and in balance. Seventy-five percent of the immune system is located in the digestive tract, and the friendly bacteria keep the body healthy. Stress, poor eating habits, disease and antibiotics may decrease the friendly bacteria. This leads to an imbalance of the baterica which may create problems like gas, bloating and poor absorption of nutrients which in turn can lead to many more severe health challenges.
