An Important Day To Remember

I remember years ago sitting down to do one of those DNA kits. After spitting into a tube and rubbing the inside of my cheek with a cotton swap I sat down to fill out the questionnaire. One of the questions struck me as strange because it asked me if I wanted to know if I was genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s and other mental conditions. Being that I already knew that Schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s ran on my mother’s side, I gave it some thought and decided to say yes.

Weeks later when the results came in, I found out the results and though it was difficult to read, I did in fact possess the gene that could lead to both. Now it should be noted that this does not mean I will suffer from either, but it gave me a lot to think about. So when I found out that #GivingTuesday 2018 allows me the opportunity to support The Schizophrenia Society of Ontario, I know it was something I should share with you all.  Continue reading “An Important Day To Remember”

Your Endocannabinoid System May Be Out Of Balance

Wait, my what?

Something I very likely know nothing about is out of balance? Okay, time to panic, right?! Well, first off, take a deep breath ‘cause you’re gonna be just fine. But second, I’ve got you. ‘Cause I’m here to offer my knowledge and expertise as a certified health professional who has spent many years studying and working on the human body (get those dirty thoughts out of your head, please) and its many complex and diverse systems.

Also, I absolutely love nerding-out on science so that I can make it much easier to absorb for those of you who aren’t things like biochemists or medical doctors. And let’s be honest, you shouldn’t have to be one in order to understand what the heck is happening in your body and with your health.

Ce N’est Jamais Trop Tard!

Aujourd’hui, il fait plutôt frais à l’extérieur et sachant que le baromètre va certainement continuer de descendre, je suis tout emmitouflé au bureau. Pour réchauffer mon corps et mes pensées un peu plus, je rêve aux voyages qui me permettraient d’explorer des racoins du monde que je n’ai pas encore visité. Tandis que la plupart des canadiens vont probablement se diriger en voyage vers le sud pour éviter le froid (et oh comme je les comprend!), je pense vouloir aller quelque part de nouveau, d’inédit. Ma vie déborde de changements de nos jours – pourquoi ne pas aussi faire mon premier grand voyage solo? Et pourquoi ne pas choisir une destination que je n’ai jamais encore considérée? D’après moi, c’est toujours le bon temps pour planifier un voyage, et vous savez déjà que nous aimons tellement partir à l’aventure avec Air Canada! Continue reading “Ce N’est Jamais Trop Tard!”

The Luxury Discovery Suite Is Going To Make Life More Beautiful

We have been lucky to attend some pretty spectacular events over the years since launching Do The Daniel. With our fifth birthday around the corner, I am coming to realize that some of the most luxurious events have been my favourite ones to share with you all. A moment that I saved up, or invited to, that I have felt as though I deserved to spoil myself or the ones I love. Chances are if you’re like me, you deserve to treat yourself as well after working so hard all year long. Well my dear friends – I have the perfect idea for you to treat yourself and someone special right here in Toronto.  Continue reading “The Luxury Discovery Suite Is Going To Make Life More Beautiful”
