Naturopathic Treatments for Seasonal Allergies: Stop the Suffering!

Naturopathic Treatments for Seasonal Allergies are sought by many patients. The term Seasonal Allergies is often misunderstood as just Seasonal Rhinitis. This is the typical sneezing, itchy eyes, ears, nose & throat, stuffy nose, runny nose, itchy skin, post-nasal drip, mucous in the throat, sinus congestion, sinus headache and even sinus infections (Acute or Chronic Sinusitis).

Actually, Seasonal Allergies manifest in other ways, including Anaphylaxis, Hives (Urticaria), Asthma, Eczema (Dermatitis), and Migraine Headaches. In fact, many of these patients suffer all year, although worse seasonally. These conditions plague millions of North Americans, who ritually take antihistamines, decongestants and steroid medications to cope. Learn how to treat the causes of these conditions, and resolve the symptoms naturally.

Food Allergy Testing Surrey Vancouver Burnaby
There are various types of Food Allergy Testing, however blood testing is not commonly done due to lack of coverage in Canada’s healthcare system. Most people think that Food Allergy Testing need only been done if the reaction is a sudden, throat-closing type of reaction. Actually, 80-90% of allergic reactions in the body are not immediate. In fact, almost 33% of the industrialized world suffers from Allergies. Food Allergies have been self-reported by 2.5 million Canadians & 15 million Americans. Research reviews have highlighted this alarming prevalence of food allergies in 15-20% of babies (Ho et al. 2014). This makes food allergies a growing concern in our healthcare system, as they are quickly undermining our health. Read on to understand how food allergies manifest in the body.

Contact Dr. Jiwani, Licensed Naturopathic Physician to schedule your FREE Initial Consult (approx. 30mins) to review your health and determine if you are a candidate for testing.

Let’s celebrate Women EVERY DAY🤗

"I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see." - Chelsea Clinton

Girls are the future. They are inventors, artists, builders, makers, and more. With your little one, talk about what makes them unique and strong as young women. Ask, "who is the strongest woman you know and why?" Encourage the girls in your life to love and believe in themselves on International and every day.

Something I still need to master, definitely my goal for this year… More 😴

A recent study published in the journal "Sleep" suggests that the simple act of wearing an eye mask to block out light while sleeping can improve cognitive function the next day.
As sleep studies continue to demonstrate, good sleep is vital for the healthy functioning of our brains and bodies. For example, too little sleep or a lack of quality sleep can negatively impact our alertness during daily activities. Studies also demonstrate that one driver of disrupted sleep is ambient light.
The sleep-wake cycle is regulated by the earth’s cycle of light and dark, with the morning sunlight signaling us to be alert and the darkness of night signaling us to fall asleep. But sunlight is not the only source of light that can impact our sleep — ambient sources of light like streetlights and light from electronics can also reach our retinas and affect our sleep.

Happy Halloween!
Scared of your kids on sugar?

Recipe: Dr. Jiwani’s Keto Chocolate Fudge (Low Carb Dairy-Free)

The holiday season is my favourite time of year. Dr. Jiwani’s Keto Chocolate Fudge (Low Carb Dairy-Free) is the perfect treat with that delectable melt-in-your-mouth chocolatey goodness that only fudge can bring. Now you can enjoy a sweet treat that is full of healthy good fats without the dairy & sugar.

Fudge is essentially candy made of sugar, butter & milk (dairy). The nutrition in 100 grams of Fudge includes 75 grams of carbohydrates as sugar and about 400 calories.

Dr. Jiwani’s Keto Chocolate Fudge (Low Carb, Dairy-Free) is a healthy twist on the classic fudge that you grew up enjoying over the holidays. I knew I had to adapt a version catering to patients with various modified diets, due to the concern of Sugar, Butter & Carbs for Allergy-Free, Vegan, Paleo, Keto, Low Carb, Diabetic & Candida Diets.
Happy Halloween Everyone!

Mammograms Miss 25% of Breast Cancers
Breast Self-Exam: Healthy Breast Care includes Monthly Self Checks for Breast Cancer Detection
Breast Self-Exams should be taught to young women in high school given that 25% of all Cancers are in the Breast. The thought of Breast Cancer is enough to send a shudder through most of us, especially considering that it’s the most common cancer worldwide in women. In North America, one in eight women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer, the second leading cause of Cancer death among women.
Teach Your Daughters Monthly Breast Self-Exams
Do I Really Need to Self-Exam?
Healthy Breast Care should include monthly Breast Self-Exams (BSE) for all women, especially for those who are high risk for Breast Cancer and for those who do not wish to undergo mammograms. For women under 50 years old, the sensitivity of mammography is less, to the effect of missing 25% of Breast Cancers. This is a critical reason that women should perform monthly self exams. Women with breast implants as well as men should also perform self-exams.
