Malerie is back!!!!!

𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭🎉: Meet , our clinic's newest Registered Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. With recent graduation from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and qualification through the OSTCAN association, Malerie is ready to take patients for osteopathic appointments!⁣
⁣
You may or may not know this, but many of our practitioners here at NCMC also share their work and passions online, and we want to put them in the spotlight 🤗. Check out our practitioner highlights for more spotlights if you missed them before!⁣
⁣
Malerie always knew deep down that the body could self-heal and self-regulate. She has searched for years to heal the body through different modalities. Through food; attending Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. Through movement;healing from her own surgery. Then finally, osteopathy found her.⁣
⁣
Malerie treats the body as a whole; for the body is a dynamic unit of function. Osteopathy is an alternative medicine that emphasizes manual readjustment through myofascial release, post isometric relaxation and articulation. Essentially, OMPs realign the body in the center of gravity, relaxing and lengthening the tissues allowing fluid to flow in the path of least resistance and continue to heal on its own.⁣
⁣
At NCMC, 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧 is very passionate about her practice. She offers free 15 minute phone consultations so you can get clear about your challenges and health goals and determine if Malerie is the right fit for you.⁣

Do you find yourself racing to the pantry when you’re feeling down, anxious, stressed or otherwise upset?⁣
⁣
Finding comfort in food is common, but not always helpful. This coping strategy is part of a practice called 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.⁣
⁣
People who are prone to emotional eating tend to reach for food several times a week (or more often) to suppress and soothe negative feelings. They may feel guilt or shame after eating this way, leading to a cycle of excessive eating and associated issues, like weight gain, low self esteem and food anxiety.⁣

How's your p**p?!

There are two common digestive conditions that our ND .andrewhubbard.nd sees in his practice:

Functional Dyspepsia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐲𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐚: ⁣
Bloating after eating, Early fullness, Pain in upper belly, Burning in upper belly⁣
⁣
𝐈𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞:⁣
Abdominal pain associated with: Pooping, Change in p**p form, Change in p**p frequency.⁣
⁣
Both of these are “𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭” 𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴. Not because you are in a way functional having to live with these symptoms in and day out. Rather, “functional” implies a lack of an organic disease process. It means that the camera stuck down your throat (or other end) and any other tests have come back without any findings.⁣ 🧐
⁣
You may hear things like: “Theres nothing wrong with you”; “Its just your IBS”; “You need to manage your stress”⁣
⁣
This is where .andrewhubbard.nd work comes in!⁣
⁣
You will explore why you have these symptoms and more importantly how to manage them. Dig deeper, look at food, look at p**p… and yes, he can help you with that stress too. ⁣
⁣
Let's help you get functional again!⁣ 💩

Our registered Dietitian, Karissa has been asked to host a FREE webinar presented by Victoria Park Seniors Centre in Fergus.⁣
⁣
It's going to be all a bout the anti-inflammatory diet- something we thought you all might be interested in learning about too! ⁣
⁣
What is the anti-inflammatory diet and why is everyone talking about it? ⁣
⁣
Certain foods cause an increase in inflammation, while other foods are anti-inflammatory and help decrease inflammation in the body. ⁣
⁣
Eating anti-inflammatory foods can prevent health problems like heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. It can also improve symptoms of arthritis, type 2 diabetes, and irritable bowel syndrome. ⁣
⁣
When you attend this webinar you'll learn all the details of the anti-inflammatory diet and why it works. You'll also get recipe ideas and tips on how to follow an anti-inflammatory diet!⁣
