Important Clinic Reminders & Updates
|
|
What a summer - hot, hazy and humid! Now that it is coming to a close, we can anticipate the nicer days and cooler nights that Autumn usually heralds in, along with all the beauty and glory of Fall colours to look forward to.
For many September is a time of change, change in schedules, change in daylight and for some change is a stressor. What if we could 'change' our thinking to view
Change
as an inevitable force that encourages a sense of growth and anticipation instead?
Enjoy the 'excitement' and promises of
fresh beginnings
that September ushers in!
We have lots of news and changes of our own to share with you this letter so we'll get straight to it.
Please read on for important Clinic Updates. As of September:
NEW FRONT DESK HOURS:
Monday - 10am-6pm | Tuesday - 9am-5pm | Wednesday - 9am-7pm
Thursday - 9am-6pm | Friday - 8am-2pm | Saturdays by arrangement
If you have any questions or need to order supplements, please call the clinic during these hours or after-hours please leave a message and we will get back to you the next business day. Thank you - we look forward to seeing you soon.

Practitioner`s Corner - Change & Updates

Goodbye
Dr. Jilan Koch
B.Sc., ND
As many of you are aware, Dr.Jilan Koch will be leaving her practice at Pursuit Health Orangeville at the end of this month. In order to regain a better balance between her personal and professional lives, she has made the difficult decision to practice Naturopathic Medicine solely at her Newmarket clinic. We have been fortunate to benefit from her professional expertise over the past seven years, and she will be greatly missed by practitioners and patients in this community.
At Pursuit Health, we are dedicated to help you continue your journey to wellness through Naturopathic Medicine. We have two experienced ND’s, both of whom are dedicated to providing continuity of care.
Below is a summary of their specialties and the unique services they offer. Unless you have made arrangements to follow Dr. Jilan to Newmarket, your files will remain here at the clinic, and we still have all your supplements needs available from our dispensary.

Goodbye
Kate Pugh
RSW / MSW
To my dear and courageous clients,
Thank you for your patience over the past three months during my sick leave. I had hoped returning to work would have been possible but it is with a heavy heart that I must leave Pursuit Health Clinic at this time and refrain from providing counselling services for health reasons.
I have treasured my time with Harmony/ Pursuit over the years and the amazing/ resilient people I have come to work with.
If you believe you would continue to benefit from counselling support, I encourage you to visit
www.psychologytoday.com
and review other local therapists to find a good fit. I wish you physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.
Sincerely,
Kate Pugh MSW RSW
We wish Kate every success and health going forward. We are endeavouring to find a professional therapist to join our team that will be able to continue to fulfill your Counselling needs.

Introducing Our Newest Service
:
Custom Made Orthotics
|
Many of our patients have been asking about help with their foot pain. Now Dr. Cynthia is pleased to be able to offer Custom made Orthotics.
It is a logical extension to our other
in-house services to help you obtain and maintain optimum health. We comply with Custom Orthotic guidelines that Insurance companies today are enforcing.
When you are assessed/fitted for your New Orthotics you can expect:
- to be prepared to take your socks and shoes off.
- bring in your old Orthotics
- bring in the footwear you will be wearing your new Orthotics in.
- have a mold/cast (negative) of your foot taken
- a 50% deposit
(covered by most extended health insurance, please read your coverage to determine eligibility in some cases you may require a medical professional to prescribe the Orthotic and then we will be able to move forward.)

Massage is more than a feel good treatment, it's a proven, multi-purpose therapy that is getting more respect and a second look by medical professionals as an interdisciplinary approach to pain management.

T
his Month's Tip:
Don't Mess with Stress!
Stress is actually a normal part of life and in the old days it served a useful purpose
Fight or Flight!
Today Stress can motivate us at work or to run the last mile of a marathon, but it was never meant to be a chronic condition. If you don't get a handle on your stress and it becomes long-term, it can seriously harm your health.
Everyone deals with stress differently, the only commonality is not to let it overwhelm you. Stress can lead to weight gain, take its toll on your heart and create mental health issues. The bad news is stress is a part of life, the
good
news is you can learn how to change the way you view things and how you react and/or find other outlets to cope with stress.
Plenty of Rest, Relaxation and Hydration.
Rest and Refresh Supplements
:
Try to get at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Products with
Magnesium Bis-glycinate
, the preferred source of magnesium, the easiest absorbed and gentle on your system.*
As far as supplements, the general consensus is the go-to
B-Complex
with folic acid and Biotin. Ask your health care practitioner what's best for you.*
Registered Massage Therapy "...
Brush aside any thoughts that massage therapy is only a feel-good way to indulge or pamper yourself. To the contrary, massage can be a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being, whether you have a specific health condition or are just looking for another stress reliever..."

Chiropractic: Stay Well Adjusted - Stay Loose!
Stress can cause the body mechanisms to lock up, relieve the symptoms of stress: proper alignment reduces pressure on the bones, relaxes the muscles and increases circulation, reducing pain and creating a sense of well-being. Please note that some links take you to another website page.
*never make changes to your diet, supplementation or lifestyle without consulting your healthcare practitioner .
