A microcurrent facial is often referred to as a “natural” facelift. This safe and painless facial helps erase fine lines and wrinkles, while firming your skin and defining your features. A microcurrent facial emits extremely low-voltage electrical currents (hence, ‘micro’ current), which mirror your own body’s electrical currents, on a cellular level to repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Cosmetic microcurrent is beneficial for improvement in the appearance of aged and slackened skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, dark circles and puffiness, enlarged pores, and muscle tone.

Cortisol May Be Destroying Your Life
If you have difficulty falling asleep before midnight, even when you feel very tired, or if you often feel like your sleep quality is poor, regardless of how long you sleep, it is likely that excessive nocturnal cortisol is interfering with your slumber. Cortisol, a kind of stress hormone, impairs brain cells’ utilization of glucose, the main fuel for the cells. When the brain’s fuel supply is interrupted by high cortisol levels, impairment of learning, memory, and mood can result. What’s more, this reduction in energy supply to brain cells weakens them, which may cause or aggravate dementia, and deteriorates the hunger centre in your brain, which can make you eat more than necessary.
A Successful New Year’s Resolution
Have you often made a New Year’s resolution only to have your progress stall and the issue being addressed return to its previous state, or even worsen? Take control of your health with a sustainable plan. Exercising and cutting calories is NOT the way to lose weight. You can’t out-exercise your fork! It has been proven that consuming foods that are appropriate for your ancestral heritage supports your body and/or mind in healing from most any chronic health issue (including weight loss). Sleep, stress, exercise/play, and toxins are addressed in your healing plan. No fad diets, detoxes, cleanses, or hunger. Eat like your life depends on it, because it does!

Maintaining Bone Health
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by weakened bones with an increased risk of fracture. In Canada, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. Osteoporotic fragility fractures are more common than heart attacks, stroke, and breast cancer combined. Medication, nutrition/diet, and exercise are forms of treatment. Physiotherapy is focused on specific exercise, which includes resistance training, balance training, aerobic exercise, and spine sparing strategies. All of these exercises are geared towards preventing falls and fractures, and maintaining strong bone health. Contact a physiotherapist for more information and for a specific home exercise program tailored to your individual needs.
