This month marks The Wellness Center’s 15th year in business! I can’t believe how quickly the years have passed. I have personally grown with the business and continue to grow. Like in business our own personal health journey is filled with trial and errors. As I get older, I realize how important having good health has on the quality of your life. When we are healthy, we have the energy to get things done, feel good and are generally happier. Many times when we don’t feel good, we tend to normalize our symptoms.
For me, I suffered from chronic constipation for over 30 years, the type that would not only hurt but would plug up toilets consistently. I just figured this was the way my body was and there was nothing I could do. It was quite embarrassing when I would accidently back up bathrooms. It wasn’t until I had this annoying dry cough that wouldn’t go away that I saw Dr. Binder our Naturopath. She said that the dry cough could be related to acid reflux which can be due to food sensitivities. I decided to do a food allergy test and found out that I am sensitive to dairy products. I cut out dairy and lo and behold my cough went away, but so did my constipation also! It is a small adjustment that I made to my eating habits, but it makes a daily difference in my life.
When you get sick, you are reminded by how important our health can be. Do you get sick often? If so, your immune system may be compromised. Sometimes we don’t know what “normal” is. Many of us live with daily or weekly headaches and think this is “normal” let me be the first to tell you that it is not. Getting sick frequently more than 3 times per year is also not normal when you have a strong immune system.
Good health certainly is a journey and not a destination. If you have been thinking about getting a food sensitivity test or just a general health assessment to see how you can improve your immune system. I highly recommend you book a 30 minute consultation with Dr. Stevens one of our Naturopaths.
We have a special through March 2016, save $35 off your initial appointment, plus receive your consultation on us (total savings of $70).
Celebrating your health!
