OTHERS GROW SLOWLY AND WARM US FOR MANY YEARS.<\/h3>\n<p>My love for naturopathic medicine is of the second type.<\/p>\n<p>In my youth, I wanted to become a medical doctor. The plan was to graduate from high school, do my undergrad work in psychology and biology, and, in medical school, specialize in pediatrics. But life intervened, as it so often does. Through my studies I became aware of what you might call my \u201cpractice preferences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text &#8211; Unfortunately, the type of medicine &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>My desire was to treat people holistically, using preventative methods and to spend the time necessary to build real relationships with the people I would be advising and treating.\u00a0Unfortunately, the type of medicine I was to enroll in was nothing like that, as it was all based on business terms such as \u201cvolume\u201d and \u201cefficiency\u201d, and very much a \u201creactive type of medicine\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it wasn\u2019t right for me, and I knew deep in my soul that it would never be right for my patients. So, my hot-burning passion for medical school underwent a quick cooling. I \ufb01nished my undergrad work and took a break.<\/p>\n<p>For a year I pondered and struggled, wondering what was next for me. Never did I doubt how much I loved medicine. Never did I lose my commitment to serve others and try to make a difference in their lives. But how could I do work that was truly meaningful, if this factory model of medicine was all that was available to me?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Image &#8211; Tall Tree&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FollowYourPassion_Image1.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.15&#8243; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Dr. Marita has a successful practice&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Dr. Marita has a successful practice at Tall Tree Integrated Health Centre in Victoria, British Columbia<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#a23393&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;One day, my mom came to me, excitedly, saying, &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>One day, my mom came to me, excitedly, saying, \u201cI think I may have found what you\u2019ve been looking for!\u201d She handed me an article she found in the newspaper. It outlined the profession of naturopathic medicine. My mother was exactly right. That day, I found what came to be my lifelong passion. As soon as I could, I applied for admission to a naturopathic medical school.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky are those who love their jobs, and I\u2019m one of them. Each Monday I look forward to the start of a new work week, savouring the challenges it will bring. A large part of what engages me is the opportunity to work with women and their individual, yet shared health concerns. Women are multitaskers, nurturers, over-achievers, mothers, caregivers, sisters, friends, and listeners. But these many roles come with a price: burnout. Not a day goes by that I don\u2019t see women whose health concerns trace back to one central truth: they are absolutely exhausted by the demands of their everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p>The costs of \u201cdoing it all\u201d are countless: sleepless nights, unrelenting stress, bouts of anxiety, hormonal ups and downs, and a malaise-like feeling of having lost the vibrancy of living. My patients talk of having lost track of themselves and who they really are, simply by giving everything to everyone except\u00a0themselves.\u00a0\u00a0They yearn to feel better, yes, but they also dream of feeling whole and priviledged again.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#a1cd3a&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Now, you might think the continual parade\u00a0 of hurting and frustrated women I see would get me down, but it doesn\u2019t, and here\u2019s why: I know there are things that can be done to help! During visits, I dig deep into each woman\u2019s lifestyle \u2013 her family history, habits, current situation, stressors, diet, and her sleep quality. I also gather information on her medical history, including hospitalizations, injuries, and accidents that have occurred along the way. I take my time with each woman because\u00a0I know that the more information I receive, the greater understanding I will have of my patients\u2019 problems and how to solve them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-32212 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks.png\" alt=\"Quotation marks\" width=\"227\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks.png 600w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-440x440.png 440w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">LUCKY ARE THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR JOBS, AND I\u2019M ONE OF THEM.

It continues with cooking healthier food, reclaiming control over stress and re-establishing a pattern of satisfying sleep. These, I\u2019ve seen, are often the biggest steps one can take toward feeling better and managing chronic health issues for the long term. The results can be sudden and striking. I\u2019ve seen women reduce chronic pain, reverse pre-diabetic conditions, and see substantial improvement in stress-related maladies such as low mood, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and low thyroid symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>As a practitioner, I\u2019m also concerned about the impact our environment has on our hormones. Every day, within an hour of waking, millions of women put 168 different chemicals on their bodies \u2013 body care products, cosmetics, and household chemicals, to be speci\ufb01c. Then they begin to ingest pesticides from food and GMOs, any of which can chemically alter hormone production. I have seen \ufb01rsthand the\u00a0effects that toxins have on women.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#a1cd3a&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Infertility, anxiety, depression, exacerbated menopausal symptoms, hypothyroidism, and horrible periods are just some of the major trends in women\u2019s health that I\u2019m seeing. As research continues to show the connection between environmental toxins and women\u2019s health issues, my hope is that empowerment and encouragement will help women make more educated purchasing decisions to improve the environment, balance their hormones, and stay healthy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-32212 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks.png\" alt=\"Quotation marks\" width=\"216\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks.png 600w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-440x440.png 440w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">I TAKE MY TIME WITH EACH WOMAN BECAUSE<br \/> I KNOW THAT THE MORE INFORMATION<br \/> I RECEIVE, THE GREATER UNDERSTANDING<br \/> I WILL HAVE OF MY PATIENTS\u2019 PROBLEMS AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM.<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#a23393&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;FINDING THE PATH TO HEALTH AND PASSIONATE LIVING&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#a23393&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>FINDING THE PATH TO HEALTH AND PASSIONATE LIVING<\/h3>\n<p>In my clinic, I\u2019m not always the one with the answers! Early in my practice a patient was describing horrible hot \ufb02ashes that were depriving her of sleep \u2013 that is, until she tried<br \/> a herbal formula she found in her local health food store. Not long thereafter I heard from another patient who used another herbal formula to guide her through a period of great stress, helping her sleep better, feel calmer, and cope better. Not content to take their word for it, I researched the products my patients used and found they both came from the WomenSense\u00ae line from Assured Natural. Since then, these products have been my go-to when I\u2019m seeking nutritional and herbal support for my patients. Indeed,<br \/> I began using it in my clinical practice and saw huge positive results for low energy, difficulty sleeping, reduction of belly fat, and other menopausal symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#a1cd3a&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-32212 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks.png\" alt=\"Quotation marks\" width=\"231\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks.png 600w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-440x440.png 440w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/womensvoice.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WV_Vol6_FolowYourPassion_Quote_Mrks-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">FOR MANY OF MY PATIENTS, THE ROAD TO HEALTHIER, HAPPIER LIVING BEGINS WITH STARTING (OR RE-STARTING) AN EXERCISE ROUTINE.
