The Effects of Stress on Your Hair
It has been said that stress can make you go gray or cause you to lose your hair. But can it? Hair loss due to stress can occur after a traumatic life event such as divorce, death, or severe financial worries. This temporary hair loss, called ‘telogen effluvium,’ can also be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, illness, or poor diet. Hair evolves in a cycle of growth (anagen); transition (catagen); and resting (telogen). Prolonged or extreme stress can cause hair to prematurely enter telogen and break more easily. Stressful events can shock the hair cycle, pushing more hair into the shedding phase.

Homeopathy for Dental Concerns
The causes of cavities include infection, poor mineral absorption and imbalances, acidity in the mouth, and an unbalanced flora in the mouth and digestive tract.

There’s no better way to bring the body back to homeostasis than with homeopathic remedies to correct the imbalances causing the cavity in the first place.

Naturopathic Approach to Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Did you know that April is IBS Awareness Month? IBS is one of the most common digestive disorders and can sometimes be one of the most confusing. Common triggers for IBS symptoms include stress, reduced gut biome diversity, food sensitivities/intolerances, and hormones. The condition is often diagnosed by ruling out other conditions and is frequently treated with pharmaceutical medications. Another option is to use naturopathic medicine to take a whole-system approach to managing the condition. This can involve individually tailored plans featuring botanicals, supplements, and enzymes, diet changes, and stress management techniques to address underlying health factors.

Health Boosts for Spring
With April and its warm weather upon us, it’s a great time to start thinking more about your health!

To boost your energy levels and potentially help with weight loss, consider taking high-quality vitamin B12, iron, and magnesium supplements.

Move Better, Live Better!
Aging is inevitable, but loss of function doesn’t have to be. A strong foundation in movement mechanics allows you to be strong and safe in as many situations as possible. Work to build your fitness foundation from the ground up. Remember, it’s important to establish spine stabilization prior to core strengthening. If you’re an older adult, choose low impact exercise programs that can help with mobility, balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. A good program will teach you how to move well and give you the ability to do everyday activities with ease and pain free.
