Hello! I am SO excited to bring you an AMAZING interview on pelvic floor and IBS I had with Renae Hunter from Evidence Sport & Spinal. A new physiotherapy clinic opened up on south east Calgary, and I was THRILLED when I found out they had a pelvic health expert & physiotherapist coming in. So I called Renae up, and we chatted. I thought I had a good basic understanding of how the pelvic floor played a role in IBS - but she has taught me SO much more - and I'm SO excited to share it with you! What does the Pelvic Floor Do? The muscles of the pelvic floor help control bowel movements. Coordination deep abdominal muscles, alongside full relaxation of the pelvic floor are key for moving...

As you may have heard recently, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the ketogenic (keto) diet and its ability to manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – but does it really work? Today I’m here to unravel the mystery of the keto diet and if it’s something you should be considering to manage your IBS. What is a Keto Diet? A ketogenic diet is low in carbs but sufficient in protein and high in fat. It’s commonly used as a diet to manage patients with epilepsy to reduce seizure frequency1 – BUT you’ve probably more seen it around the internet touted as the ‘if paleo didn’t work – you should try this’ kinda diet. (cough cough FAD cough cough). If you’ve read our previous post about why you...

Let alone, you had no idea where to find them in the store! ½ cup of a head of radicchio? 1 cup of polenta? 1 TSP of caraway seeds? Or edible flowers? What?

With September RIGHT around the corner, I've been getting a ton of questions, and noticing a lot of parents feeling a bit stressed about packing school lunches. Parents often times struggle with foods coming back uneaten, feeling pressure to produce 'Pinterest-worthy' lunches, and generally, just feeling overwhelmed with providing balanced nutritious lunches. I was LIVE on Breakfast Television Calgary to give my TOP TIPS for packing Smart School Lunches, and tackling those top stressors! You can watch the replay here: Tip 1: Have the RIGHT equipment Have a variety of tupperware, plastic bags, and thermoses, ice-packs, and insulated lunch bags to keep hot foods hot, and cold foods cold. Often times, if foods are mushy, or at the wrong temperature, they can be unappealing! I find packing foods in individual...

Have you heard of NuPasta before? NuPasta is an incredible new product on the market that has a ton of very cool nutrition qualities - and I was so excited when they asked me to create a recipe for them! What is NuPasta? NuPasta is created from the root of a konjac plant, which has unique qualities that make it the perfect gluten free pasta that is high in fibre and low in starch. Konjac is common to Japanese cuisine - and resembles a yam - however it's very low in starch - which makes it much different! Why is NuPasta awesome? When it comes to pasta, our portions in this day and age are often humungous. For many of my clients with nutrition issues, like PCOS (polycystic ovarian...
