The countdown is on to those hectic holiday weeks and we want to help you get the most happy you can out of your holidays. We’re talking about calling on the power of your habits. This is going to be your greatest asset. The power of your habits can help you step-by-step get to those health goals and help you feel the most vital, the most energy that you can, especially through this holiday season. And while we’re at it, let’s not forget about another resource that is available to you – your extended health benefits. 

Most of those extended health benefits will expire at the end of the year. So definitely do use them within this season and before they expire, December 31. 

Hi, I’m Dr Annie Savage. I’m one of the naturopathic doctors here at Bay Wellness Centre. We are located in downtown Vancouver and we are currently offering both in person appointments as well as telemedicine visits.  

In our last post, we talked all about stress, your stress hormone cortisol specifically and how stress can affect you. We looked at how stress can deplete your energy, affect your fertility and your ability to interact with your friends and family in a nice and kind way. Check out the full post and help yourself to great tips to get you through the holidays with more joy and less stress. 

Habits help you to better health and wellness  

Today, we’re talking all about habits. You’ve probably already figured out that despite our best intentions, our new habits are quite difficult to form. This is because we work mostly on autopilot throughout our days. We do a lot of things without thinking. So when we want to create new habits, it does take that extra mental energy to change the behaviors that we are used to.  

At the Wellness Centre, we work very closely with you to help you change and develop those new habits. We want to give you a step-by-step, easy to follow and guided plan so that you never feel like you’re lost or alone.

Your process to progress at Vancouver’s Bay Wellness Centre 

The way that we do this is by having an initial appointment with you. In our hour long meeting we can get all sorts of information from you. We want to know what’s going on with you. The symptoms that you’re currently dealing with and your whole health history and your family history is what we listen for. We also ask you questions about your previous medical history as well as diagnoses, and any blood work that you’ve had done recently. We take all of these things into account as well as your job, your exercise levels, your stress levels, how you’re sleeping at night and from this all we put together a plan with you so that you feel like you’re in control of your health.  

What habits do you find that you need the most help with?  

Is it your sleep routine? Are you taking a very long time to fall asleep or waking up throughout the night? 

Is it your exercise routine? Do you find that you don’t exercise at all or that you do exercise very much on a program or a plan and then you fall off the wagon?  

What about your diet habits? Do you need some help with figuring out what exactly is the best option for you? When is the best time of day to eat? What is the best diet for you?  

Good health and all these things can be difficult to figure out because there are so many factors within each of them. 

We can help you determine what’s best for you and give you a step-by-step guided plan so that we can achieve your health goals together. For now we have one valuable strategy to share that you that can help you right away with your holiday invitations! You can reduce stress around the holidays as it pertains to your diet by having healthy snacks before you actually go out. That way you have some healthy food in your stomach before you get to that party and so you don’t overindulge on those desserts and those treats. Reach out for support now. We are booking up for the end of the year. So use those extended benefits before they expire. Together, we can help you get a plan in place for your mental health, your well-being, as well as your physical health.
