Repost @DrSamanthaND ——— You’ve probably heard that optimal vitamin D levels are critical for immune health and bone health, but did you know vitamin D also plays a role in hair growth and loss? A research review found that vitamin D is closely involved in multiple cell signaling pathways of growth and differentiation of hair follicles. Studies have shown an inverse relationship between serum (blood) vitamin D levels and many conditions of hair loss. This means lower serum vitamin D levels correlated with higher occurrences of condition of hair loss. These are conditions of non-scarring alopecias such as telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and trichotillomania. Alopecia is a disease that develops when the body attacks its own hair follicles (where hair grows from), causing hair loss and patchy baldness anywhere on the body. Book with any of our Naturopathic Doctors to learn how to test your vitamin D levels, as well as to assess other important factors that may be contributing to your hair loss. Saini, K., & Mysore, V.

Repost @DrSamantha.ND ___ Don't forget to think about your immune system while you are busy settling into September. Over the next 6 weeks, it's very smart to think about assessing your baseline vitamin D status before heading into winter. It's wise to set up your core and rescue herbal regime. Consider IV vitamin C, zinc and other nutrients as a great monthly prevention for supporting overall health and immunity. Remember that your healthy, active lifestyle supports your body in fighting and infection so best to stick with healthy nutrition year round. You may want to consider booking a seasonal reset visit to build your resilience this season for your personal care plan. #immunity #immunesupport #oakvilleNaturopath #vitaminD #healthynutritions #herbs #vitamins #optimalhealth #healthoptimization #stayhealthy #fluseason #oakville #bronte #burlington #brontewellness #brontewellnessboutique #oakvilleND #brontenaturopath

Are you taking thyroid medication and feel like it’s not working❓ Over the years, studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology have suggested that patients do better when prescribed both T4 and T3. . The Endocrine unit at the University of Catania Medical School further studies patients who were given levothyroxine and they found that free T3 levels were significantly lower with treatment. 20% of patients had low free T3 and T4 despite normal TSH levels.

Once upon a time, we opened an office overlooking the water in Bronte. It was a tiny place we loved with spectacular view of the inner harbour. COVID, our patients and staff having their cars towed and paid parking led us to find our new centrally located office here at Wyecroft Road & Dorval in Oakville. It's been over 3 years now and we are so grateful for the beautiful space we were able to curate, the ease of access to the highway and our easy free parking. We don't have views of the water but we have created our own views and a little bit of bling🌟 Thank you for supporting the Bronte Wellness team and being a part of our family on the journey🙏. #gratitude #oakvillenaturopath #brontenaturopath #naturopathoakville #brontemassage #oakvillemassage #oakvillecounseling #oakvilleosteopath #brontewellness #brontewellnessboutique #oakville #bronte #milton #mississauga #burlington
