Detox Week 3: Infrared Sauna

by Dr. Samina Mitha, ND on June 4, 2016 with No Comments

This week on detoxification I am talking about how to get your SWEAT ON! Skin is our MAJOR organ of ELIMINATION, but many of us do not sweat enough. This can be due to living a sedentary lifestyle or even wearing synthetic clothing that isn’t breathable! Sweating is important to … Read More

September is PCOS Awareness Month 💕 PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a common hormonal condition in women and affects about 10% of reproductive age women. I have friends and family who are affected by this condition and I also work with many women in my practice who have PCOS. Naturopathic medicine is a great option for women with PCOS because dietary changes, herbal medicine, and acupuncture can help manage symptoms and reduce associated health risks.⁣
⁣
Symptoms of PCOS include:⁣
✨ Irregular menstrual cycles⁣
✨ Hirsutism (excess hair growth on chin, upper lip, stomach, chest, etc)⁣
✨ Other signs of androgen excess (acne and/or male pattern hair loss)⁣
⁣
PCOS is also commonly associated with infertility, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity.⁣
⁣
Women with PCOS might have ovarian cysts but cysts are not a requirement for a diagnosis of PCOS.⁣
⁣
There is a lot of variation in how this condition presents in different women and it can be challenging to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. If you have PCOS or wonder if you might have it based on the above symptoms, send me a message and let’s figure it out together 👩‍⚕️ ⁣

Meal prep is the key to fuelling your body for success. I know if I haven’t planned out what I’m eating for the week my eating habits are all over the place and I don’t feel well.

Just like your weekly laundry, setting side some time for meal planning each week will help set your week up for success.

This is one of my favourite meals marinated chicken drumsticks, frozen sweet potato fries and a quick kale salad. It’s easy, quick and I don’t have to think too much about it. It’s always a request of mine each week when we are building our meal plan for the week.

Do you meal plan? Drop a 💟 in the comments.

It’s #pcosawarenessmonth and I want to share my

🌐 It's #worldpcosday and I'm incredibly excited

🌐 It's #worldpcosday and I'm incredibly excited about all the events coming up this month! ⁠
⁠
PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome affects approximately 10-15% of reproductive women. ⁠
⁠
It is important that we spread the word and create awareness for the syndrome that affects so so many women! ⁠
⁠
PCOS awareness is incredibly important because PCOS can lead to increased risk of: ⁠
- cardiovascular disease ⁠
- type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance ⁠
- infertility ⁠
- mood disorders
- and more!
⁠
One important thing that awareness creates is the opportunity for these women to not feel like they are suffering alone. ⁠
⁠
So join me this month to spread the word and create a community of women who can get the support they need and deserve. ⁠
⁠
Check out these pages to learn more and get the support you need. ⁠

Indian food wasn't a staple in my diet growing up

Indian food wasn't a staple in my diet growing up as a child. However, we had Indian food many times. I remember not necessarily liking the taste and spicy food didn't really agree with me. ⁠
⁠
Now as an adult, I really do enjoy Indian food, but still not a fan of spicy foods, I guess my body is a different breed. ⁠
⁠
The challenge I faced was coming up with ways to still enjoy Indian meals while making sure my dishes were still dairy and gluten-free. ⁠
⁠
This image is simple and easy to make Instapot "Butter" Chicken Recipe from CurryTail. ⁠
⁠
It is over cauliflower rice and I usually sprinkle some hemp seeds over top to get some added fats. ⁠
⁠
I will also eat a salad on the side to make sure I get my veggies in! ⁠
⁠
This is by no means how I used to eat Indian food as a child, but it works. It tastes good, satisfies my cravings and stays within the way my body needs to be fueled. ⁠
