When people have restrictions, physically or mentally, they may be entitled to apply for a tax credit. There are different ways in which a person can be eligible for the disability tax credit (DTC). In all cases, the impairment must be prolonged. Also, the person must meet one of the following criteria: 1. Is markedly restricted in at least one of the basic activities of daily living. 2. Is significantly restricted in two or more or the basic activities of daily living (can include a vision impairment). 3. Needs life-sustaining therapy. The credit can allow a person $2,500 in tax savings each year as well as a $25,000 Lump Sum Refund. Expert help is available in applying for this substantial tax credit.

Brain Injury Awareness Month
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can change someone’s life forever. If you suffer from a head injury, you should see a chiropractor or physiotherapist/athletic therapist right away. Naturopathic doctors can also play an important role by: 1. Decreasing inflammation in the brain by decreasing inflammation in the gut through diet and lifestyle modifications. 2. Recommending specific supplements to support inflammation, cognitive function, hormones, etc. 3. Providing IV therapy, which can allow high doses of nutrients to reach the bloodstream directly. 4. Offering low-level laser therapy, which stimulates energy production to decrease chronic inflammation and support healing.
One Change at a Time
Fitness is a life long journey. It can’t be earned in one workout, gained by eating well for one week, or through one eight hour sleep. The long-term benefits only come to those who stick with the plan, adapt as life changes, and most importantly enjoy the ride. We call this building healthy habits. Imagine if you ate one apple a day and did 20-30 minutes of varied physical activity 3 days per week. Over one year that would be 365 apples and 78 hours of physical activity accumulated through your habits. Focus on making only one change every 2-4 weeks and watch your life change.

Those nutritional requirements are then used to create your own precise nutritional formula.
Shaping Reality: The Influence of Thought
Our thoughts have the power to shape our reality and ultimately determine the outcomes we experience in life. By focusing our thoughts on positive and empowering ideas, we are more likely to attract positive experiences and opportunities into our lives. Conversely, if we allow negative or limiting thoughts to dominate our thinking, we may find ourselves struggling to achieve our goals or feeling stuck in undesirable circumstances. This concept is often associated with the Law of Attraction, which suggests that we can manifest our desires and goals by aligning our thoughts and emotions with the outcomes we wish to achieve.

Digital Presence after Death
Receiving a birthday notification for a friend that has passed away is rattling and painful. Planning your own funeral is important and so is thinking about what happens to your online presence after your death. For close family and friends, your social media may be something they want to keep to reflect on times shared with you. Your social media profiles may also be used as a way for people to share condolences. Once you’ve decided what you’d like to happen to your digital footprint, consider including your wishes in your will or in a separate letter to your chosen legacy contact.
