We are back, did you catch that…WE! I am so excited to announce that I have collaborated with the most amazing Naturopathic Doctor, Rachelle Viinberg.
You are going to love her, she is an exceptional doctor with over a decade of service as a Naturopath and mentor/clinical supervisor at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
And get this, Dr. Rachelle helped take Canada to the podium with her silver medal finish as part of the women’s 8 rowing team in the 2012 Olympic games. Pretty inspiring right?
Over and above all these incredible accomplishments she is an intelligent, empathetic, and relatable person on a mission to share her years of wisdom to help you reach optimal health. With a very similar practice style as myself, Rachelle will listen, affirm and support every step of your Naturopathic journey.
In this episode, you get your first taste of Dr. Rachelle as we dive deep into a conversation about sleep hygiene, sleep tools, and tricks and how they relate to all aspects of Lifestyle Medicine.
So glad to be back!

This episode is dedicated to all the hard-working and committed moms, care providers, mother figures and friends who continue to show up for your children, pets, nieces, nephews, neighbours every day in different ways. You inspire me!
When asked by Kardish Health Food Centres to do a podcast episode for Mother’s day, I had no doubt in my mind about who I would ask to be my guest for the show.
Amy Longard, Ottawa’s premier vegan chef, nutritionist and new mom was the first person to come to mind. During our discussions about how we want to approach this show topic, it became very clear to us. We want you the quiet and committed nurturers amongst us to feel affirmed, seen, support and inspired from our discussion.
During our conversation, Amy shares some of the lessons she has learned since having her daughter and how she maintains her well-being during this time of ultimate transition. I think you will truly connect with her message.
BONUS ALERT: You could win a Kardish Health Food Centre gift basket just by listening!

Hey busy moms, are you telling yourself you don’t have the time and energy for movement? Then you need to tune in to this episode.
Meet Leslie Roberston, busy mom of 2 young boys, wife and small business owner of Prime Personal Fitness.
Leslie was raised in a very active family and played sports from a young age. She earned a volleyball scholarship at the University of Southern Mississippi and loved the feeling of being part of a team. She started her first career as an elementary school phys ed and science teacher but found it unfulfilling and not inline with her purpose.
During these years, Leslie felt lost and struggled with weight gain, yoyo dieting and depression. It was her own path out of this struggle that put the spotlight on her next steps in life. Through finding herself again through fitness, Leslie also found her calling and made the switch to personal training. She has never looked back.
Leslie considers herself a lifestyle coach and does not just help people get fit but also shows them how it’s possible to feel good by prioritizing health and putting personal needs, wants and goals FIRST!
Since becoming a mom Leslie’s mission has become even clearer as she helps busy moms go from overwhelmed, stressed and unhappy to looking and feeling empowered, in control, energized and confident.
Tune in now!
