As with most well-developed nations, Canada has a complicated relationship with healthy weight management.

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…

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…
