When it comes to individual health and wellness, probiotics are popular for many reasons, but perhaps the most consistent theme is the idea of overall health and performance. The healthiness and performance of our gut have a heavy influence on how well other bodily systems function: cardiovascular, cognition, immune, metabolic, digestive, and skin. If you are dealing with profound digestive disorders link IBS, ulcerative colitis,…

When managing an ostomy with a hernia, selecting ostomy supplies that provide both support and comfort while helping reduce the risk of complications is essential. Every hernia bulge and body type means not one thing might work for the other, but there are some helpers out there. People with an ostomy (colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy) are at higher risk of developing parastomal hernias, which occur…

Intimacy is an essential aspect of human relationships, promoting emotional connections, trust, and physical well-being. However, some individuals may experience challenges in this area due to conditions such as vaginismus, pelvic pain, or post-surgical discomfort. Thankfully, there are tools and techniques available to help overcome these obstacles. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of dilators and trigger point therapy, focusing on the intimate rose…

Have you heard about Hydrofera Blue Dressings before? I hadn’t until recently when I was having some skin issues. My fantastic nurse brought these to my attention, and the dressing has helped the area heal. It is easy to apply and manage. Whenever I find such good tips and tricks, I like to share them with the ostomy community in hopes it could help someone…

Can we all agree that aging sucks? From the ages of 35 – 65 for men (and women too), our bodies slowly change on us until one day we wake up and realize that we don’t have the vitality that came so freely in our 20’s. It would seem that every system we hold dear has tanked: * Recovery time * Strength and the ability…

Inner Good is happy to announce the addition of Xymogen to our Vitamins & Supplements catalogue.  A variety of formulas supporting a range of health categories from Men’s Health to Relaxation and Sleep. Have you heard of Xymogen?  Here’s some information about this family owned & operated brand. The Blackburn family founded Xymogen in 2003 in response to the need for natural health products that…

My permanent colostomy was placed Feb 16, 2018 as a result of cancer.  I’d never seen a stoma in person, just images I’d found online.  To be honest I didn’t research very much as I didn’t want it to interfere with my mental health.  I had a huge 8.5 hour surgery that involved more than just my stoma placement and needed my mental game to…

I never really understood the expense of medical or ostomy supplies and medications before becoming ill with cancer in 2014, When I was first diagnosed, I wasn’t working and had to cash in any savings, and I had to support myself, which only lasted so long. After that, my family had to step in, and I’m forever grateful for their help financially, as I don’t…

Have you been experiencing bladder leakage or pelvic organ prolapse (when one or more pelvic organs drop from their position)? Or are you hoping to improve other areas of your life that call upon the strength and vitality of your vagina? Then you probably know that Kegel exercises are the key to achieving your goals.  Kegel exercises are pelvic floor muscle contractions. However, are contractions…

Generally speaking, if you have fewer than three bowel movements a week, along with these more detailed observances, you are experiencing constipation. Also known as a lack of bowel motility, the condition is not something most people talk about with anyone other than their physician. However, it is far more common than many (yourself included) think. The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation reports that 25% of…

UC Davis Health reports that Ozempic works by mimicking semaglutide, or GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion from the liver. As this hormone’s levels rise, the molecules go to the brain and tell it that you’re full, which therefore reduces appetite. A reduction in appetite logically mitigates temptation to eat. You’ve seen the TV commercials for Ozempic while…

We are pleased to announce the addition of Perifit to our line of pelvic health products for women.

You’re dedicated to improving your overall health for the year ahead through natural health product (NHP) supplementation. One group of compounds that are considered critical to any wellness plan is Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) due to their positive influence on cardiovascular health. However, upon initial inspection at your local pharmacy, it becomes evident that there are more Omega-3 options on the Canadian market than…

I’ve been buying ostomy products for almost a decade now. When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, and again in 2017, I soon learned how expensive medications and supplies would be.  The first time I had to place a supply order, I got a bill for over $400.00 and almost fell over. I did not have benefits and wasn’t working as a result of…

You’ve recently been told that you’ll be wearing an ostomy bag temporarily or permanently. This is a lot to digest emotionally and psychologically for anyone. As you go down the list of things to learn, you realize the appliance will be adhered to your skin and could hurt when taking it off.  Thoughts of the time as a child when your mom or dad was…

Ostomy care or managing a unique medical condition is a challenge on its own. Mixing in travel adds complexity. Mixing in international travel to countries where English isn’t the first language takes things up a notch and often leaves people feeling like travel isn’t possible. However, with proper planning and a positive mindset, you can enjoy travel while taking care of your health needs. Recently,…

I was first told I would need to have a colostomy bag in December of 2017. My surgery happened in February 2018. I had no idea what ostomy life was all about, let alone the different brands and accessories that came along with having an ostomy.  I had struggles and wins, but I mostly struggled in the early days.  My stoma is flat and retracts,…

Many ostomates across Canada have used Convatec’s Niltac adhesive remover spray or wipes for years.  The Silesse barrier spray and wipes another staple in many ostomates’ routines.  Convatec has recently discontinued Niltac and Silesse, replacing them with the Esenta line. But don’t worry, the change isn’t as scary as you might think! Our Marketing Coordinator, Carly Allen, who has a colostomy, called Convatec to get…

Vaginal health is influenced by a delicate balance of microorganisms and pH levels. Disruptions to this balance can lead to various health issues ranging from mildly irritating to life-altering: Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Yeast Infections, Urinary Tract Infections, Vaginal Dryness, Sexually Transmitted Infections, Menstrual Cycle Changes. Simple things women can do to maintain good vaginal health include practicing proper hygiene, wearing breathable underwear, avoiding irritating substances,…

Undergoing a colectomy surgery is a big deal. It’s a life-saving, life-changing procedure that is both emotionally and physically challenging. Living with an ostomy is never in anyone’s life plans, and it is a big adjustment filled with trial and error. At Inner Good, we understand this challenge and believe that people have the fastest bounce back after surgery when they access the right ostomy…

While most people have heard of circumcision, a common surgery to remove a young boy’s foreskin, few are aware that foreskin-related problems may and cause problems throughout a man’s entire life.  Depending on the specific foreskin condition, treatments include everything from topical creams, oral medications, such as antibiotics and steroids, as well as stretching exercises and, finally surgery. This editorial highlights some of the more…

At least 10% of the Canadian population lives with incontinence. That’s over 3.8 million Canadians. So whenever you feel isolated in regards to your urinary or bowel disorder, please remember that you’re not alone. Not by a long shot. Knowing this, we at Inner Good have made it our duty to ensure that Canadians with compromised urinary or bowel function have access to the best…

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria gets into your urinary tract and may impact the kidneys, bladder, or urethra. A UTI may be present in any age, gender, socioeconomic and ethnic group, but instances are most certainly prevalent in key segments of the Canadian population, with some being more vulnerable than others. For instance, research finds that more than half of Canadian women…

As with most well-developed nations, Canada has a complicated relationship with healthy weight management. While, as a population, we pride ourselves in being an active country with a bounty of outdoor recreation at our front doors, we are not without problems in the body mass indexes department.  Prior to the global health crisis of 2020, nearly 27% of Canadian adults (about 7.3 million of us)…

Review the front label of Douglas Labs TMC (aka Tri-Metabolic Control) and you’ll find the following succession of words; “Provides antioxidants that help protect cells against the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.” This sounds fantastic, especially if you know that oxidative damage can contribute to aging and the development of health conditions including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. However, you’ve been hearing…

The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation reports that over 20 million Canadians each year struggle with digestive disorders and compromised gut health. That’s more than half of the entire population! If that doesn’t serve as a collective call to action, we don’t know what can.  Moreover, research shows that digestive disorders cost Canadians $18 billion annually in health care and lost productivity. It seems households can’t…

Health Canada reports that nearly 4 million Canadians live with diagnosed osteoarthritis. That’s almost 14% of the population. What’s more surprising is that the data encompasses those aged 20 years and older. This is not a condition that is exclusive to the elderly. Not by a long shot.  Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is a progressive disease of the whole joint…

Getting an ostomy is a life-saving procedure, but it is also a life-changing event. Whether your procedure is for a colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy, etc., living with a stoma is a big responsibility, and there is a lot of information to take in on ostomy care when you are new at it and recovering from surgery. The first few weeks can be chaotic for new ostomates…

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…

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…

Data varies on how many women experience pain during penetration when having sex. One study reports that 10 percent experience it every single time. Another finds that 57% of sexually active women have experienced pain or discomfort during intercourse to the point that they could not enjoy themselves and/or had to stop. The same study finds that 18 percent experience intermittent pain that makes sex…

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…

One of the biggest concerns you may have before or after receiving an ostomy is regarding your sex life. How will it be impacted? We’re not going to leave you dangling. You can have sex—lots of it. Little needs to change, no matter how adventurous your bedroom (or kitchen floor) escapades may be. Now that you’ve breathed a sigh of relief let’s nip your concerns…

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…

For the uninitiated, a liquid skin protectant (or skin sealant) is a formulation designed to protect vulnerable wounds on the body. A liquid skin protectant may need to address complications include wound exudate (leaked fluid from blood vessels into nearby tissues) or other forms of excessive moisture that may come from incontinence and similar concerns. A liquid skin protectant forms a transparent protective coating on…

All of the above equates a call to action to find a more natural…

Approximately 75 percent of women experience pain during sex at some point in their lives. While for many the issue is temporary, it’s unfortunately persistent for a large number. A recent study finds that for one in ten women – sex is painful each and every time. For the chronic sufferer, the physical pain and discomfort quickly escalate into deeper relationship issues with their partner/s….

Welcome to Part 2 of Keys to Finding the Right Fit by an Ostomate!  Part one was published on January 28th, 2022, so feel free to give that a read first if you haven’t already.

When you get told you’ll be getting an ostomy or possibly 2 ostomies, it’s a lot to take in.  You realize that your body is about to physically change in a variety of ways and it’s scary.  Most people have never heard of an ostomy let alone know what it looks like and how to live with it.  You can prepare for some things prior…

Let’s be honest. Men have received most of the attention when it comes to advice on which supplements to take for libido-related issues. Solutions for erectile dysfunction and so forth. But did you know that studies have consistently shown that around one-third of women report low sexual desire? That number grows significantly for postmenopausal women, although those of all ages can exhibit a lack of…

In the most simple sense of description, hydrophilic substances are those that attract moisture. It’s this property that make hydrophilic dressings ideal for wound management. They are especially critical to the management of persistent pressure ulcers and venous stasis ulcers (non-healing wounds in the lower extremities) but can also be employed for dermal lesions, first-and second-degree burns, partial-and full-thickness wounds, and even superficial wounds and…

Canadians have been experiencing unprecedented levels of stress over the last two years. But even before the world got flipped upside down, one-quarter of the country reported feeling significantly stressed on most days. When feeling anxious, cognitive function is compromised, which can impact performance at work and even during enjoyable activities. It also has a direct impact on one’s ability to fall asleep and quality…

There are all sorts of digital bells and whistles to buy on Amazon that purport to support brain function. There are also apps with puzzles, games, and trivia that claim to do the same.

There are a variety of other reasons why you may not have had a great experience with…

Canadians are more conscious about what they put into their bodies to boost physical health than ever before. The public now knows that whole foods are only one part of the equation and have turned to natural health products (NHPs) to complement their dietary regimes.

There’s a lot of positive commentary about the health benefits of turmeric. But what’s at the core of these benefits, is the key active ingredient of the golden-toned root of the ginger family. This ingredient is curcumin. Curcumin is most heralded for its inherent anti-inflammatory properties. With inflammation interconnected to the development of so many health conditions, the demand for curcumin supplements has escalated across…

Over the last five years, the popularity of turmeric has skyrocketed among the health and wellness community. Never mind that it’s the staple ingredient of numerous natural health supplements, as you now find it as an incentivizing flavor in gourmet ice cream shops, patisseries, and on the menus of restaurants throughout Canada. But you’re here because you’ve been hearing about the above-mentioned health benefits, namely…

Approximately 25% of Canadians aged 15 and older live with some form of chronic pain. That’s an estimated 7.63 million people who suffer through work, studies, activities, and social life.

In response, Canada turns to the natural health product (NHP)…

Tired of looking for this sign? Approximately 10 percent of the entire Canadian population suffers from urinary incontinence, with up to 15 percent living with an overactive bladder.

Medihoney is a portmanteau used to reference medical honey, namely manuka honey (aka leptospermum scoparium). The medicinal applications of manuka honey were originally discovered in Australia and New Zealand where bees have pollinated the native manuka bush for centuries.
