 There are some super exciting things going on around here lately! Like, really exciting!
My regulations are changing. As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario, I'll soon be regulated under the Regulated Health Practitioners Act rather than the oh-so-outdated Drugless Practitioners Act. Yay! This is a great thing, but there's a few things that are changing. I've been spending the last couple of weeks nose-deep in an exciting piece of literature: The Compendium of Therapeutic Choices. It's riveting. Even my cat thinks so, as you can see. It has pharmaceutical treatment options for just about every major health condition out there, and I'm learning them all. With this new regulatory structure comes new responsibility. I'm required to learn all of these drugs, in far greater detail than our pharmacology classes ages ago, to continue to provide the best care I can. This may or may not result in me being able to prescribe these to you as the actual scope has yet to be finalized. What does this mean for you? Hopefully not much will change. All of this studying will allow B12 injections, optimal fertility support, and awesome winter immune support, to name just a few. Another impact is with labs. I'll be limited to Ontario-based labs only, which causes a bit of a blip specifically for my food sensitivity testing. I try to keep my prices (your expenses) as low as I can, so losing lab choice will impact cost and will result it almost doubling of these tests. This one, clearly, I'm not happy about! Access to specific tests (hormonal testing, for example) will also not be possible.

It's official! NDI Canada is happening! I am SO excited for this one! As you may know, I have been involved with Natural Doctors International for quite some time and they are such an awesome organization. We've had this move coming down the pipes for a couple of years now and I'm so excited to announce that NDI is now a registered non-profit organization in Canada! We have our charitable status application on the go, so hopefully soon we'll be able to provide you with tax receipts for all of your awesome contributions to this great cause. To learn more about NDI, check out ndimed.org. That's about all I have going on lately. The veggie garden and pollinator garden are also both done and ready to bring some nourishment and happiness this summer! Thanks for all your support over the last 5 years and here's to many more!
