Dr. Joey's Newsletter - October 2016
The season of change is here. As the air starts to chill and the leaves change color, an excitement of another new season is felt. Fall is one of the best times to remind ourselves what we are grateful for and, to lay down some new goals - health and otherwise.
If you are like me, your eyes have recently been glued to the crazy political campaigning that has been going on with our American friends. Although most of what I have watched is cringe worthy, there was one beautiful phrase spoken by first lady Michelle Obama. In a recent speech, Michelle said "When they go low... we go high". Her words can really be applied to every area of life - thoughts, food, exercise, family, and friends. In this season of change, lets all focus on the positive changes we can make for ourselves and for others.
This newsletter is filled with a few of my favorite products and recipes to keep you feeling healthy and warm during the autumn months. I hope you enjoy them! And of course, I cannot close this newsletter without a quick congratulations to our Canadian Blue Jays - we are so proud! #octoberbaseball
Wishing you best health,
Dr. Joey Shulman DC, RNCP

I could see she was special. I called her my girl with kaleidoscope eyes because of how beautiful her eyes were. Unfortunately ? life threw Demi a few tough curve balls and her weight loss journey was stopped along the way. But... 11 months ago, Demi had her "aha moment" and was ready to start the program again. She showed back up at my clinic and has not looked back. I am thrilled to report my girl with kaleidoscope eyes is making it happen! This girl is strength, beauty and inspiration inside and out.
Thank you to my amazing team who has supported and guided Demi along the way. Watch out world, the future looks pretty darn bright for this one.
