Hair Loss – The new Epidemic

Hair Loss – The new Epidemic

Debbie Smrz2026-04-28T11:19:53-04:00March 2, 2020|

Hair Loss – The new Epidemic The average adult head has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs and loses up to 100 of them a day; so, it’s possible what you are experiencing isn’t even hair loss after all. (1) That being said, the number of young people coming to see us for hair loss has risen at an alarming rate, and the ‘that’s what happens when you age’ answer just isn’t’ going to cut it. Nor should it, as many of these women are in their 20’s. Plus, if you know me, you know I believe that just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal. Aging doesn’t HAVE [...]

Why are kids today so Anxious?

Why are kids today so Anxious?

Debbie Smrz2026-04-28T11:21:03-04:00January 23, 2020|

Why are kids today so Anxious? You might not want to hear the answer. Anxiety, depression, brain fog, ADHD – the statistics show that brain health issues are on the rise. What was considered pathological anxiety in the 50’s, is considered a ‘normal’ level of anxiety today? Why is our brain health faltering at such an alarming rate? Neuroinflammation is inflammation in the brain. We think of brain trauma such as concussions causing inflammation in the brain; but the lifestyle, diet, pollutants, bacteria, viruses, and stress can all cause subtle shifts in brain inflammatory cells, resulting in neuroinflammation (1). What’s more, a 2017 study shows [...]

by Dr. Wendy Zhou, ND Naturopathic Doctor Put Vitamin D on the counter to prevent SAD As winter approaches, many people struggle with their energy levels and balancing their mood.

Why We Test For Vitamin D Famous for its role in calcium and phosphorus balancing in the human body, Vitamin D has been one vitamin/hormone that has been widely studied in recent years. Researchers in recent years have been [...]

How to support your energy and mood

How to support your energy and mood

Debbie Smrz2026-04-28T11:20:59-04:00November 8, 2019|

Vegetarians, you have GOT to read this Possibly the quickest and may help support mood and energy is a B12 injection. As a matter of fact, B12 is probably my number 1 favorite . Many people may notice changes in mood (anxiety and depression), energy, brain fog, memory, and overall wellbeing, sometimes after only 1 short. This seems remarkable, as according to blood work, most Canadians have enough B12. And here lies the possible problem, are Canadian ranges set too low? Japan and many European countries certainly think so. Japan and many countries throughout Europe believe anything below 405pmol/L is not sufficient. In Canada, anything above 220 pmol/L [...]

Stressed, Anxious, Fatigued??? – Magnesium can help

Stressed, Anxious, Fatigued??? – Magnesium can help

Debbie Smrz2026-04-28T11:21:40-04:00October 25, 2019|

by Dr. Debbie Smrz, BSc, ND Naturopathic Doctor Magnesium is known as the ultimate relaxation mineral, widely touted (and with good cause) to help with sleep, anxiety, muscle tension, blood pressure, fatigue, mood, headaches, energy production, digestion and even focus. How can one mineral have so many effects? Magnesium is the 6th most abundant mineral, and the 2nd most abundant cation in our bodies, and chances are – you are not getting enough, even if you eat a well-balanced diet. Although the RDA of magnesium is 280mg/day and 350mg/day for females and males respectively, the optimal daily intake is 600-800 mg/day. Furthermore, if you’re [...]

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

by Dr. Debbie Smrz, BSc, ND Naturopathic Doctor What is Magnetic Field Therapy? Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) uses rapidly changing electromagnetic fields to stimulate and promote cellular viability, support blood flow, and ease pain and swelling. It is a localised service that can be universally applied to any affected part of the body. Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) works by providing additional energy into the cellular energy production system. This is beneficial as it allows for a higher exchange rate of Ions crossing the cell membrane, promoting cell health and more efficient division. What [...]

Getting Your Health Write! by Dr. Daniel Soubhi Sima’an BSc, ND Naturopathic Doctor Perhaps one of the most meaningful forms of introspection is journaling. From childhood diaries to historical records, putting the details of your life on paper can be an extremely important and meaningful experience. This can be a particularly helpful tool in terms of medical care as well. A couple of salient applications include monitoring weight, dietary changes as well as monitoring symptoms of a particular condition. In my personal and clinical experience I have found great success and fulfillment. In monitoring how much I eat, what I eat and also monitoring how [...]

3 Secret Weapons to Staying Healthy this Fall

Debbie Smrz2018-03-28T14:43:53-04:00October 3, 2017|

Your 3 Secret Weapons for Staying Healthy this Fall: 1. Probiotics An estimated 80 percent of your immune system is located in your gut. A robust immune system, supported by your flourishing inner ecosystem (healthy bacteria), is your number one defense against ALL disease, from the common cold to cancer. 2. Vitamin D As the days shorten and the angle of the sun to earth makes it impossible to get all the Vitamin D naturally, it is critical to ensure your Vitamin D levels are optimal through supplementation. Not only does Vitamin D support immune health, but low Vitamin D levels are linked to Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD) – [...]

by Dr. Debbie Smrz, BSc, ND Naturopathic Doctor Your body lives at one with nature more closely than you think. Our superchiasmatic nucleus (SCN), strategically positioned in the hypothalamus of our brain detects light and dark, and then, like the floor manager of a factory, decides which workers (systems) should be most active; and barks orders as to speed and efficiency. People come into my office and say “I don’t want to take anything that might change my bodies natural rhythm”. Honestly, if you use light bulbs in your house, you have already tampered with you bodies natural hormone and endocrine system. For optimal living, and [...]

How to beat the Blues, stay focused and keep your mind sharp at any age.

Does our brain really shrink when we’re pregnant? Is it an inevitable sign of aging that we get cloudy thinking and memory loss? If your grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease does that mean you’re most likely going to get it too? Is it normal to feel sad and anxious on a fairly regular basis? The good news is that with proper nutrition and supplementation most, if not all of our brains ‘hiccups’ can be corrected. Regulate Blood sugar Levels Hypoglycemia can cause aggression, brain fog, lower intelligence and decreased concentration. Worse of all, almost everyone one of us, especially our children start the day in just this state. Sugary [...]
