SPRING DETOX PROGRAM

A detox is like an oil change for your body! This spring, take our 4-Week Detox Challenge. A medically supervised program unlike anything you will find on the health food store shelf; our Spring Detox Program will guide you through safe and effective options to support the organs of elimination and detoxification. A cleanse can minimize allergies and sensitivities, improve digestion, clear and brighten the complexion, deepen our consciousness and commitment to a healthy lifestyle and act as a jump start for weight loss or dietary change.

The program is on offer from April 20th through May 30th, and can be done as individual one-on-one sessions or in a group setting. Related products will be on sale for 20% off during this period – or purchase a detox kit (3 unda numbers, 1 castor oil pack, 1 custom 100ML herbal tincture and 1 package of Change of Season Soup) for $90 + gst (a 22% savings!). **NOTE:  The program involves a cleansing diet.  If you would like additional assistance, we can offer a customized meal plan with recipes.  Read more below, or click here to learn more about our Nutritional Consultations Service.

Naturopathic Doctors Jennifer Baer & Jaty Tam will be giving a lecture at Pine Villa on Sunday June 14th:

Heart Smarts: Why Naturopathic Doctors are uniquely suited to treat the epidemics of our time.

Join licensed Naturopathic Doctors Jennifer Baer and Jaty Tam as they present safe and effective options in the treatment and prevention of: diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, obesity and overweight, heart disease, arterial disease and stroke.

Do you know your 10-year risk for developing heart disease? Learn how a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) can assess your risk and develop an individualized program for you. NDs work in conjunction with your Medical Doctor, are uniquely trained to recognize and understand drug interactions, and are able to make safe prescriptions of herbs, supplements and other therapeutic products or therapies to patients that are currently taking prescription drugs.

Visit us on Sunday June 20th for the Upper Village’s Spring Fling! 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

We will be available on the street near the clinic (look for our booth) or up in the clinic itself (1068 Eglinton Ave W, 2nd floor) to meet with you.
