Greetings! My name is Dr. Rivet and I’m new to the Vitalia Healthcare team but a veteran to naturopathic medicine, this year I start my 20th year in practice! I’v practiced privately in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver, taught at both naturopathic schools in Canada (and one in the states), lectured across Canada, did research, wrote a book, and even healed myself of my own personal health story. So with that in mind I want to share with you what I think is important in keeping yourself healthy.

April Special
Spring is around the corner and you may have already noticed some trees budding and spring flowers making their ascent. Or, you may have already noticed itchy ears and nose accompanied by sneezing. Our seasonal allergies on the West Coast start as early as February, with Alder trees being the first to release pollen. Late winter and spring allergies are usually related to trees and shrubs while late spring and summer are often grass pollen allergies. Environment Canada has pollen counts and charts available on their website for more information.
Cellulite Treatment
There is a strong negative connotation that comes with the concept of cellulite. These small to large dimples that can be found mostly on females after puberty are thought to be a sign strictly of poor dieting and obesity, but are really far more complex then that. In reality, cellulite can be a side effect of hormonal factors, genetics, gender, and a high-stress lifestyle. Essentially, cellulite is formed through enlarged fat cells, higher levels of toxins, water retention, poor circulation, and fibrosis within connecting tissue.
