I've struggled with my hormones for years and have found these to be the best natural solutions and tips for balancing them out

I was diagnosed with R.A. in 2006 and it's been life changing. The pain can be debilitating at times, and it really sucks to have to rely on my husband and others to help me with little things. Like opening a bottle of water, a package of food, etc. It hurts to chop food, pull my straight leg pants up, button anything. I recently discovered these tools to make my life easier. I created this list for others who might be experiencing the same things I am. I hope you will find something on this list that you didn't know about before that can help you live a better quality of life. This space will have tools, gadgets, resources and whatever I can find that might help you.

Who knew sitting silently could be so beneficial? Check out these scientifically-backed benefits of meditation that will make you want to say 'Om' right now!

Real talk: Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and my busiest season in the chair. Pie, candied yams, caramel everything, a bottle of red wine nobody asked for — and then the first week of December is a parade of chipped teeth and 'it only hurts when I chew'. So this year I'm getting ahead of it. This is the kit I wish every patient had in their bag before the holiday: post-feast rescue tools, travel-ready oral care for the trip home, and the teeth-friendly snacks and swaps that let you enjoy the whole spread without the January root canal energy. Vulnerability disclosure: I once cracked a molar on a rogue piece of pecan pie crust at a family dinner and had to sit through dessert pretend-chewing on one side. Never again. As always, this is general guidance, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.
