  • I'm thrilled to be joined by the remarkable Dr. Beatrice Seguin, the visionary Founder of "This Time of the Month." Together, we’ll explore the invaluable role of community during the menopause journey and how it can transform this natural phase of life into an empowering experience.

    Menopause is a significant transition that can bring about a range of physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Dr. Beatrice Seguin brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to our discussion, highlighting the profound benefits of having a supportive community during this time. We’ll delve into the common challenges women face during menopause and how shared experiences and collective wisdom can provide comfort, understanding, and strength.

  • In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Daniela Steyn and Dr. Ashley White delve into the critical role of protein in maintaining optimal health. By supporting muscle growth, boosting metabolism, aiding in weight management, and facilitating tissue repair, protein plays a vital role in overall vitality.

    Dr. Daniela Steyn, Founder and CEO of Wellness MD, Associate Professor at McMaster University and a Hospitalist Doctor at Oakville Hospital, brings a wealth of expertise. She completed her medical training in South Africa and furthered her education at the College of Family Physicians in Canada, the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, and Harvard University. Dr. Steyn’s mission is to empower individuals to live their best lives through healthy lifestyle choices and food as medicine. You can find more about Dr. Steyn and Wellness MD by sending us an email at [email protected] or by visiting the Wellness MD website here: https://www.wellnessmdhealth.com/

    Dr. Ashley White, an obesity medicine specialist, takes a unique approach called “The Shift.” Combining behavioural, medical, and nutritional interventions, she helps patients achieve sustainable weight loss. Dr. White’s qualifications include additional training in coaching, clinical hypnosis, addiction, and therapy. You can learn more about her clinic, The Shift Weight Loss Clinic, and her work here: https://www.theshift.clinic/clinic

    During their discussion, the doctors address the crucial question: How much protein should one consume? While individual needs vary based on factors like age, activity level, and health status, a general guideline is to aim for approximately 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. However, Drs. Steyn and White emphasize that personalized recommendations are essential. Consulting a healthcare professional ensures that protein intake aligns with specific health goals.

    But how much protein is too much? Excessive protein consumption can strain the kidneys and potentially lead to health issues. It’s crucial to strike a balance. Remember, protein isn’t just a macronutrient—it’s a cornerstone of well-being. So, whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or simply someone striving for optimal health, prioritize protein in your diet and consult experts like Dr. Steyn and Dr. White for personalized guidance.

  • What do you truly want in life? To be strong, healthy, and capable of not just caring for yourself but also for those around you, right?

    This week, I had an eye-opening conversation with the incredible Dr. Doriana Parkin. We discussed the essence of weight loss and its connection to self-care, debunking the myth that it's all about spa days and pampering (though those are lovely too).

    Dr. Doriana Parkin is a working mom of 3 and knows what it feels like to be overwhelmed & exhausted. To have no time for yourself. To be too busy to fit exercise into her day when juggling work, extracurricular activities, cooking and taking care of family members.

    She struggled with weight and body issues as a teen, dieting and hating how she looked until she realized that she needed to eat in a way that wasn't overly restrictive, and that her self worth wasn't related to her weight.

    We talked about two common misconceptions when it comes to weight loss. One is that weight loss starts in the gym. It doesn't, weight loss starts in the kitchen! The second is that in order to lose weight, you have to starve yourself. You don't! what you need to learn is how to eat more food volume for fewer calories.

    For 15 years in the medical field, Dr. Doriana counselled patients on how to make healthy decisions, and now she's focused on helping as many busy women as possible take back control of their lives and health.

    Her goal is to give women the empowerment they’ve been lacking so they feel confident making food choices, figuring out how to easily incorporate fitness and self-care into their daily life.

    Dr. Doriana can be found at drdoriana, on IG, Facebook, Linked In and TikTok

  • Join me for a fascinating conversation that provided invaluable insights into how we can all make better choices to live a life of optimal wellness.

    In this episode of the Wellness MD podcast, Susan Salenger joins me, Dr. Daniela Steyn to discuss health management. We discussed the ways in which women are taking control of and managing their health, as well as areas where they may be mismanaging it.

    Susan Salenger is the author of the book Sidelined. In Sidelined, Susan explains why women are misdiagnosed more often than men, and why their symptoms often go unrecognized or even disputed. This book teaches readers how to take charge of their health, make informed decisions, and leave their appointments with answers instead of just questions.

  • In this episode of the Wellness MD podcast, Life Coach Caroline Elisabeth joins host Dr. Daniela Steyn to discuss how our habits serve (or not serve) us.

    Our habits form the foundation of our daily lives and often determine our success or failure. It's important to recognize when we need to shift our current patterns and behaviors in order to reach our goals. By examining what no longer serves us, we can identify new strategies that are more productive and effective in helping us reach our highest potential!

    Caroline is a certified life and health coach. She works with women ready to delete old habits and thoughts, and step into the brilliant life they desire and deserve through her private coaching practice, Build Your Brilliance, and 90-day program, Unleash Your Brilliance.

    In this podcast you will learn:

    1. How to achieve your goals
    2. What you should be aware of when it comes to your habits
    3. How to shift your long time habits
    4. What a habit loop is
    5. How to ensure long time success
