Winter Recipe
| Did you know that one serving of quinoa
fills 48 percent of our daily magnesium needs? |
from Quinoa Revolution Quinoa boasts the highest nutrition profile of all grains (because it's not a grain!) and is the fastest to cook, a prerequisite for almost everyone these days. Most important, whether nutritious food is eaten for boosting health, preventing illness, reaching top athletic performance or for pure pleasure, it should taste good. "I recommend the whole cookbook (Quinoa Revolution), I'm completely in love with it." Dani Foster,

Greetings,
Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season. For many of you it's back to school, back to work, nose to the grindstone. Don't forget to plan your own healthy maintenance for the year to help avoid those sudden injuries or acute flare ups. I can't tell you how many patients have hobbled into the office for care after simply bending over to tie their shoes or picking up their kid. Your practitioners will recommend a treatment plan for you to help keep you in the best shape possible. I also included some popular smart phone apps to help with any healthy New Year resolutions you may have set.
Our complimentary seminars have returned! Our first one features:
Healthy Weight Loss
Dr Shalviri, Naturopath and Dani Foster, Registered Acupuncturist, have teamed up and designed an 8 week program that combines gentle detoxification, body composition analysis, weekly nutritional
counselling and acupuncture, and more.
The seminar is on Thursday Jan 31 @ 6.45pm. They will talk about the program as well as tips for achieving healthy weight loss. Please RSVP if you'd like to attend. We expect this one to fill up fast!
*Everyone who attends the seminar will be given a free Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis (body composition analysis), an important tool in setting health goals, which can be booked at a later time.
Cheers, Monica
Office Manager and Wellness Coordinator

Healthy Weight Loss
| |
By Dr Asal Shalviri, Naturopath
This is the time of year when many of you have made New Year resolutions with getting active or losing weight being the most common one.
There are many different paths to weight loss. While some are healthier than others, most weight-loss plans either don't work or offer only minor, and usually temporary, benefits. There are plenty of "rules and counting" diets, diet drugs, high-protein programs, canned shakes, and other fads that might enable you to lose some weight for a period of time. The problem that all these diet programs share is that you can't stay on them forever.
Effective and permanent weight management is the result of lifestyle and
dietary modifications, hormone balance, effective detoxification, sufficient amounts of quality sleep, and functional stress management.

Active Patient Care and Chiropractic
|
Chiropractor, Dr Ryan Flatt comments:
I recently came across an article on Active Patient Care, and why corrective exercises are a key element of patient care. The excerpts that follow are from this article. In my experience in practice I found that patients, who actively participate in their care, tend to recover faster and have fewer recurrences of injuries. My goal in treating any injury is to help improve and maintain freedom of movement while improving function to meet each patient's needs.
Exercise has been shown to be the superior approach when it comes to resolving many of the musculoskeletal conditions we as chiropractors see on a daily basis. Yet even with an abundance of evidence to support active care,exercise is currently being underutilized as a treatment option for musculoskeletal conditions.
Please click to read the full article.
Our Chiropractors offer complimentary consultations to answer questions and to help if you unsure as to whether this is the correct course of treatment for you at this time. We accept ICBC claims and are able to directly bill ICBC for your treatments once we have confirmed your claim is open. Please contact Reception for more information or to book in. 604 535 7705.

My favourite album of all time would have to be...
Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughn...and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
If I could have any meal cooked for me it would be...mmm spaghetti
In my free time I like to...play dodgeball 
A motto I live my life by is...if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball
In 5 years I see myself...still working with the best chiropractors in the lower mainland
My favourite season is Spring or Fall...because it isn't to hot or too cold
If I could change one thing about myself it would be...my tendency to procrastinate
If I could jump on a plane and go anywhere in the world my first stop would be
...South East Asia
I started a career in massage therapy because...I like working one on one with people in a positive environment
