Microplastics

This "wellness article" is a little more discouraging than usual- but keep reading there is hope and practical suggestions at the end! "Plastic never goes away — it just breaks down into finer and finer particles."This quote is from Desiree LaBeaud, MD, a physician...

Give Peace a Chance Part 2

Years ago, I stayed with a friend who lived in a quiet neighbourhood. They had a “water feature” in their backyard and I LOVED sitting in that tranquil space, listening to the trickling water. I returned to Toronto and immediately purchased an outdoor fountain so that...

Give Peace a Chance: Spending Time in the Eye of the Storm

At risk of sounding like a grouchy old codger, (I know, I’m probably too late), I’m noticing that people younger than me are regularly streaming TV shows and podcasts onto portable devices. This technology allows them to watch while they prepare food, eat, take...

Shall We Dance?

Jane and I recently started Zumba classes at the community centre. For those who don’t know, Zumba is a form of dance class that is a high-energy, full-body work out. There are also “Zumba Gold” classes, which are less intense and designed for seniors and...

Belief and Reality- the Brain Science Behind it

When Sleep Won’t Come

I have written previously that if I have a super power, it is the ability to sleep well most of the time.  This is an incredible gift, as sleep is so important for your health and well being, and I don't take it for granted.  I have written two...

Remembrance!

On the 11th of this month, our nation has set aside a time for Remembrance - to honour the armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.  We have done this since the end of World War 1 in 1918.  Last month, we celebrated Thanksgiving, an...

The Power of Reminders

Visual reminders can be extremely helpful.  Seymour Simons had a  song in 1931 "Tie a little string around your finger (so you'll remember me)" .  The Marvelettes picked up the theme in 1993 with  a song by the same title, but Solomon had spoken of...

Meet the Doctor

I thought, as I start a blog with our new website that includes an “article of the week”, I should begin by letting you know about me, the doctor....
