Dr. Natasha Turner has made a name for herself as one of Canada’s leading naturopathic doctors and natural health consultants. She has developed a successful clinical approach for creating hormonal balance to gain strength, lose fat, and live younger and longer.
In our interview last week, she shared that her passion began with a very personal story.
Last week I interviewed Julia Ross, the author of The Mood Cure. She mentioned that we have an epidemic of anxiety and depression in the country. A recent survey shows that almost 50% of us over 14 years of age significantly suffer from one or the other. It’s enough to impair our function.
A study just came out showing that 1 in 10 adolescents and adults is on an antidepressant drug. That’s millions and millions of people.
Dr. Carolyn Dean was my guest on last week’s teleclass. In the forefront of health issues for over 30 years, she is uniquely qualified to discuss the challenges women face today in maintaining hormone balance. During the interview We talked about hormones requiring magnesium for their processing.

If I don’t eat dairy, how do I get enough calcium? You get lots of calcium from various vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables such as kale, as well as broccoli and sesame seeds. Calcium is readily available in many foods. Better yet, these foods are alkaline producing, so the body can actually use the calcium it gets from them.
Dairy products actually do not provide sufficient calcium. The countries with the highest dairy consumption are also the ones with highest osteoporosis levels! Dairy is one of the most acidic foods on the pH scale and calcium is the number one mineral the body uses to buffer against excess acidity.
There is just never enough calcium in any dairy product to offset the acid-producing effect it has. So you actually end up losing calcium when you eat dairy products, not gaining it! Shocking, right? Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to drink your milk in order to get your calcium.
Here are foods high in calcium that don’t come from a cow: Read More

Most of us women can attest to feeling the effects of our cycling emotions. Rather than reaching for a glass of wine or a decadent (and heavy) piece of chocolate cake, ease your swirling emotions by brewing up a pot of this uplifting and aromatic tea. It’s easy to make and it’s caffeine and calorie-free so it won’t load you down like a rich dessert or glass of alcohol. The recipe is compliments of Brigitte Mars from her book Sex, Love & Health.
All of the ingredients can be bought at your local health food store. I recommend buying them in bulk to ensure freshness and to save money.
Bring the water to a boil. Add the burdock and dandelion root, cover and simmer for twenty minutes. Remove from heat and add the remaining herbs. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain. Drink 4 cups every day.
