About Me:

I go to four schools! I am entering my fourth year at York U in Kinesiology and Health Science to get my degree (specialized honours!), become a Certified Kinesiologist, do an Independent Study in Neuroscience - Motor Control (eye-hand coordination in elite-level male athletes) and complete the Certificate Stream in Fitness Assessment and Exercise Counselling so I can become a Certified Exercise Physiologist and Personal Trainer through CSEP. I am also attending Humber for a Fitness Leadership certificate, and the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (through CSNN) and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner through the IONC. I am a Personal Trainer Specialist through Can-Fit-Pro, an NLS-Lifeguard, and soon to be First Aid and CPR Instructor through Red Cross. I also attend the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine for prerequisite chemistry courses; I hope to start school there in 2011 to become a Naturopathic Doctor.

My aim is to heal the body and achieve total health through the foundation of a natural diet and proper physical activity.

4.0!!

Oral Contraceptives

Is anyone willing to share their experiences with oral contraceptives? I'm doing a project on them and wanted to include real women's stories (little blurbs really) about any side effects or positive / negative comments they had about OCs. So if anyone is willing to share a few lines that would be great, it's in a scrapbook format and I will only be using first names. If you can include how long you took OCs for too that would be great,

Thanks! Please give me info!! I need it by Friday March 14… Continue

Fun with Fibre

Okay so I'm totally new to this but here goes.

A lot of people have been asking me about fiber lately; they think they aren't getting enough. I'm not sure what led them to this conclusion - have they been having fewer bowel movements? Either way that's not the only problem with lack of fiber. Better than the downfalls let me talk about the positive:

In my nutrition class at York we've learned some fascinating things about it. Firstly there are two types: soluble (or fermentable / viscous) and… Continue
