The Menopause Foundation of Canada reports that 95% of Canadian women experience menopausal symptoms. Our colleagues suspect the other 5 percent must be doing something special to avoid being looped into the majority. Of course, this select few may be on a dietary regime that includes consuming natural health products that ease the psychological and physiological symptoms of menopause. You suspect the same, which is…

All adult Canadians are anxious about aging to some extent. Comprised cognitive function and physical fatigue are certainly concerns. But let’s be honest, there is one thing that keeps us up at night more than other symptoms of advancing years. It’s what we see in the mirror when we awake – wrinkles.  In a survey of Canadian women regarding which signs of aging bothered them…

If you’re one of the millions of adults who experience bedwetting or nocturia, you know how difficult it can be to find products that help manage the condition while still being comfortable and discreet. It can be incredibly frustrating if you’ve tried multiple products that don’t seem to work for you. At InnerGood, we’ve dedicated many of our efforts towards carrying products that can help…

Over the last decade, you have noticed that the supplements section in your local pharmacy has significant shelving space dedicated to hair, skin, and nails vitamins. Why are these three “parts” of the body always linked together?  Physiologically, the link exists because they are all part of the ectoderm. The ectoderm is a group of cells that develop during an embryo’s third week. Simply put,…

It should come as no surprise that a primary concern among Canadian adults is the concept of aging. It even ranks ahead of finances. After all, if we had more time, we could make more money and do all of the other things in life that we planned to do.  Concerns around aging include everything from surface-level impediments (how we look) and compromised cognitive abilities…

By definition, intertrigo is a common inflammatory skin condition that is caused by skin-to-skin friction that intensifies in the presence of heat and moisture. Heat and moisture occur within the recess created when one layer of skin persistently folds over another. It typically exists under the breast, between the toes, in the groin, and between abdominal folds. The general population references this condition as a…

Prostate health gets a lot of attention during Movember. However, discussion is as quickly shaven away as the mustaches and beards that were temporarily grown to show support. Fortunately, health conscious men across Canada understand the year-round importance, and are searching for a natural means to prevent and treat a number of correlated problems, including inflammation (prostatitis), enlarged prostate (BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia), and…

Of the top 20 nations in the world where women have strong sex drives, Canada doesn’t even rank. But before you chalk this up to relaxed opinions about sexuality in Europe, please note that the USA made the cut – above France!  Canada, we can’t let them get away with it.  However, the female population in the country is not as inclined to seek pharmaceutical…

Data finds that as many as 75% of women worldwide experience chronic pain during sex at some point in their lives. While for some, it comes and goes, 10% of women in Canada experience pain during sex every single time. That’s an unacceptable statistic, no matter how you look at it. Pelvic floor dysfunction and other related conditions (vaginismus, etc.) are typically to blame, making…

Cold and flu season is upon us. While people across Canada are accustomed to hearing it, this one is unlike any before. You see, we have just spent the last two and a half years being exceedingly cautious about everything we touch, where we spend our time, and the people we spend that time with. We have been washing and sanitizing and excessively analyzing everything/everyone…

Anxiety, stress, and sleepless nights. We doubt there is a single person who has not experienced one or all of these hormonal responses to our reality over the last few years. We’ve had to contend with health, war and economic crises, along with sociopolitical unrest. It doesn’t help that the media perpetuates it 24/7/365. Simply put, you can’t block it out, but you can take…

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more common than most people realize. Approximately 5-9% of children and 3-5% of adults in Canada live with chronic neurodevelopmental disorders, accounting for around 1.5 million Canadians. Signs and symptoms of ADHD are steeped within the realm of hyperactivity and impulsiveness and can vary significantly between ages, genders, and indirectly by socioeconomic status. Pharmaceutical interventions to manage symptoms typically…

Hold on to what matters… A countrywide survey from Stats Canada found that an estimated 903,700 Canadians aged 15-years and older reported having a memory problem. As expected, a significant number of these instances are connected to memory-related conditions in seniors such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Following age-specific concerns, are other underlying conditions that can lead to compromised memory, such as a brain injury, epilepsy,…

Everyone has cringed at the thought of taking off a BAND-AID after it’s been on a while.  You rip it off quickly. As a kid, maybe your parent counted down 3-2-1!  When I first got my colostomy, I remember asking the nurse if it would hurt taking it off as a BAND-AID does. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks after an intense life-saving…

Traditional bandages and medical coverings aren’t cutting it when it comes to your wound or skin irritation. They are challenging (even painful) to apply, must be changed often, are uncomfortable, don’t provide adequate coverage, and do little to speed up healing. So on and so forth. You’ve heard that a liquid skin sealant is an answer for your wound woes. It’s true, as the right…
