Wellness Series: Week 2 Recap
Our Instagram Live sessions are the perfect way to learn something new. If you couldn’t tune in or just want to revisit your favourites, here’s a recap of what you missed. Check our upcoming schedule here, and don’t forget to join us on Instagram for the latest.
Monday, April 6: Kale White Bean Salad with Tuna with Louisa Clements
 |
Spring, in a salad! With kale, crisp apple, white beans, notes of citrus, and a tasty tahini dressing, this is the perfect addition to your meal (or a meal on its own)
It’s also a pantry-friendly recipe that you can make with few ingredients. PRO TIP: kale can be tough to chew. Be sure to massage with fresh lemon juice for up to 2 minutes so that it becomes tender and salad-ready. For the full recipe, head over to Louisa’s website > |
Wednesday, April 8: Dealing with Discomfort During Uncertain Times with Kaitlyn Dinner

There are a lot of unknowns and a ton of uncertainly during this unprecedented time! And this can cause us to feel worried and anxious. However, it’s important for us to both acknowledge our feelings while also working through them.
PRO TIP: try keeping a journal of how this situation is making you feel. This is not the first, nor the last time that we will be dealing with uncertainty. It will be helpful to reference your feelings and lessons learned during this time. For more information on this topic, click here > |

Saturday, April 11: Boosting Your Immune System Naturally with Kristina Virro
 |
Having a strong immune system is important, now and always. There are many things you can do, including reducing caffeine and processed sugars, while also increasing your intake of B vitamins. Of course, this is to be used in conjunction with frequent hand washing, social distancing, and guidelines put in place by public health experts.
Kristina’s number one tip? Regulate your sleep schedule. Make sure you get 7-9 hours of shut-eye each night and make it consistent. To get the full list of tips, click here > |
