Hello Dr Claire - new sub here. I love watching your videos as I need to get better educated on diet. I have autoimmune issues and really struggling with chronic fatigue because of chronic inflammation. Finding the path forward is really tough and I had to find a new GP who better aligns with my current needs.

Welcome! We are so happy to have you here! I know that navigating diet with an AI disease can be tough. I hope you are able to find a GP who can support you! I also find the book The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen Cookbook very helpful for patients with AI. The AIP diet is not necessary for every AI condition, but the recipes in the book are very helpful! Thank you so much for the comment! 💚

Hi Dr. Claire!! I’m new to the channel and really love what you are cultivating here so far. I really appreciate the emphasis on whole foods while still being accessible for the “average” person. Also so happy to see a Canada-based KZfaqr 💛 I was wondering if you have ever considered doing a video about your journey to naturopathic medicine. I have considered this as a possible educational and career path for several years on and off, but have felt hesitant due to the many misonceptions of the field (from those who may be misinformed thinking that the practice is not evidence-based). I would love to hear you talk about this journey in the future if possible (attending naturopathic medicine school) if you’re comfortable sharing it with us!! I think it could help some out who wish to explore this path professionally or just to debunk some “myths” about the profession😊

I could definitely add a little section at the end about misconceptions/ myths about naturopathic medicine cause there are a lot. Thank you so much for the comment!💚

Would blending or mashing the staches remove any of those resistance starch benefits? I'm thinking potato and leek soup for meal prep lunches this week. Thankyou
@drclairelockridgend4 ай бұрын
Hey, so mashing or blending starchy foods can break down their structure, reducing resistant starch content. With that being said, you are still getting lots of benefits from potatoes and veggies! You could keep it a little chunky if you wanted to keep some more of the resistance starch benefits (but I know that a nice creamy potato soup is ideal) Hope that helps (also, that sounds like an amazing meal prep lunch😋)

I was wondering if you have advice/could make a video about how to support hormone levels when menstruating.

Hello and welcome; we are so happy to have you here! So there are a lot of things that contribute to low mood before the period, progesterone and serotonin specifically play a role in that! For diet, I tell patients to focus on eating a high-fibre diet and a high-protein diet. Proteins are made up of amino acids, some of which are essential for hormone synthesis. Nutrients like calcium, magnesium and B6 can be especially important for PMS symptoms! Limiting things like caffeine and sugar during that time can help too. Overall eating a very nutrient-dense, fibre-rich and protein-rich diet though the month is very important! Hope those tips help!

I find your content very repetitive. I love your channel pls consider this as feedback, but the resistant starch part is included in the last three videos with the same content. Also, the Mediterranean food doesn't look Mediterranean at all and looks actually sad (I'm a Mediterranean). I suggest "Taboule" restaurants in Toronto. A falafel shouldn't have sesame at all, and i feel from the color of it that they've been using the same frying oil for ages. For Mediterranean, I suggest you try Greek, Turkish, or Lebanese cuisines

Thank you so much for the comment and for the feedback! It's tough because I really do eat the same things on a weekly basis, and I do find these foundational tips (like resistant starches) so helpful.

hello! i started watching your videos for healthy meal ideas. i think that your content is great but there are times when i can detect an unhealthy mindset, which may be very triggering to individuals. for example, when you had the coconut water, you said you didn't like it due to the added sugar. you also really demonized sugar in this video. i think that a), you could have just said that you didn't like the coconut water period and not mentioned why to avoid a triggering comment, and b), everything in moderation can fit into a healthy diet -- diet culture demonizes sugar, so you're really playing into that. you also mention frequently that you include all of the macro + micro nutrients. i am not denying that, but you really don't eat a lot of carbohydrates - not enough at all. i don't know what your needs are of course, but i know the baseline needs. eating a few chunks of sweet potato every day for your carbs is nowhere near enough for any body. i hope you take this into consideration. i am not against you, i am just trying to make you aware of unhealthy habits that support diet culture (even if that is not your intention or that you are unaware that you're doing it).

Thank you so much for the comment. This is a health-focused channel, so I like to talk a lot about health and healthy eating! I said in the video that I consume sugar, but it is something I stay mindful of! I have a lot of people asking me why I make certain food choices, so I always like to give the rationale. For example, I do try and stay away from sweetened coconut water because, for me, if I am going to have sugar (which we know is not the best for us), I would rather have it in another form! In terms of carbs, I have also had people leave comments telling me I eat too many, so I find it best to listen to my hunger cues and body when it comes to how much I eat! My content is here to help educate people about food so they can make the best choices for them!
