Dr. Jordan Morton, Naturopathic Physician

I was featured on a podcast recently! Dr. Wayne Phimister from Vancouver had me on his podcast "21st Century Pain Solutions" and it was a blast. If you've ever been curious about what I do as a naturopathic doctor, take a listen here. My practice is primarily treating chronic pain and sports injuries (though I'm always keen on getting my patients to eat more plants and generally be healthier), and I've been spending lots of time in the past year learning more about prolotherapy, PRP and regenerative injections from one of the best in the business, Dr. Tyna Moore. Have a listen on spotify, itunes or wherever you listen to pods. If you have any questions let me know!

From Joe Average looking to decrease blood pressure, to Kyrie Irving (one of the best players in the NBA), people are switching to a plant-based diet for numerous reasons.

Give this one a read.

One interesting aside from this: "According to research firm GlobalData's report, 6 percent of U.S. consumers identify as vegan, up from just 1 percent in 2014. In the United Kingdom, veganism rose by 350 percent from 2006 to 2016, largely from the country's younger demographics."

There's a huge shift in people making more conscious meal decisions for themselves, the planet and the animals. This is a beautiful thing. Be a part of it, choose veg.

The Secret (but Healthy!) Diet Powering Kyrie and the NBA Chicken wings are vanishing from the locker room. Superstars are slimming down—and speeding up. If 'skinny ball' has arrived, could the performance-enhancer sparking a revolution be... veganism?

Eat more plants, take processed crap out of your diet, get moving and find a way to relax. Canada isn't quite this high, but we do have about 1 in 5 adults living with high blood pressure. Yikes.

46% of Americans have high blood pressure under new guidelines High blood pressure should be treated at 130/80 rather than 140/90, according to new guidelines from the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.

Naturopathic Doctors have been using and advocating acupuncture for years, it's great to see others catching up and as this article says, "I think it's fair to say that acupuncture is here to stay. It's going to be a permanent addition to our tool box."

Acupuncture works outstandingly for a variety of musculoskeletal problems as this article states, but it goes beyond that. Digestion, mental/emotional issues, immunodeficiencies and much more. Acupuncture is an integral part of an ND's practice that gets used constantly because of its wide-ranging effects.

Quiet mornings with my mat, this book, coffee and the breath has become one of my favorite things.
Whether you're a yogi or not, The Radiance Sutras is a beautiful read to start your day with.

"The tongue is made of truth and flame.
On it dance the triple fires of spirit, body, soul.
Trace this dance from the depths of your core,
Rising upward through the crown of your being.
Every offering of breath and food
Feeds this holy flame.

Touch the tip of the tongue
To the roof of the mouth, lightly.
Inquire into the luminosity above.
Breathe out with a quiet h a a a a.

You are an altar to the flame of life.
Throw yourself into the throbbing intensity.
Become this dance,
Absorbed in radiant splendor."

Gotta love seeing this- med schools are coming around to the idea of nutrition and lifestyle as a vital part of medicine. There's so much we can do with simple tools like that to help people tremendously.
Nice to see Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine get a shoutout here too. Naturopathic Doctors have been advocating this for well over a hundred years... about time lifestyle medicine finally started making its way up to the forefront.

Did you get caught up in the hype that a diet high in carbs is associated with a higher risk of mortality while a diet high in fat is associated with a lower risk? Or how about that after 3 servings of fruits, vegetables and legumes there is no more benefit? Lots of people did and fair enough, the PURE study sounds incredible- 12 years long, 225,000 people in 25 countries- but there are things worth mentioning about how these results were drawn and what the actual conclusions were.

David Katz, MD does an excellent job in the article I've linked to, but here are a few highlights from it:

- The headline could have been "very poor people with barely anything to eat get sick and die more often than affluent people with access to both ample diets, and hospitals." Eating more carbs does not always happen by choice. A low calorie diet that results in malnutrition is likely extremely high in carbohydrates. This does not mean that incidence of mortality is due to high carbohydrate intake.

- The study did not differentiate between carbohydrates- ie jelly beans, whole wheat bread, rice, leafy greens, and white sugar were all seen as equals.

- Lowest levels of heart disease, stroke and all mortality are seen in groups eating more fruits, vegetables and legumes but when education, health care, employment and a better socioeconomic situation are controlled for, the benefit disappears. The multivariable model the study used showed that since those things happen together most of the time- it’s no longer possible to attribute a benefit to just one of them.
