As the temperature starts to rise, and the weather entices us to get outside and become more active, it is more important than ever to drink enough water. We lose huge amounts of fluid and electrolytes through our bodies’ cooling mechanism of perspiration. So, drink up! A nice alternative to those high-calorie sports drinks is to add a tiny pinch of natural sea-salt and a shot of lemon juice to our water bottle.
In our continued efforts to improve our services to you we have started to collect your feedback through regular online surveys. Visit our website www.lifewisehw.com

Lifewise Walking Club - Starting in June!!!
Julia Pilliar (Certified Kinesiologist)
The human body was designed to walk. Increased sitting time at work, in the car, and at home has reduced the amount of time we spend on our feet, causing muscular imbalances and weaknesses which, if not rectified, may lead to chronic pain and injury, not to mention excess weight and obesity. The Lifewise Walking Club is a social and informative way to improve your cardiovascular efficiency and increase your caloric expenditure (i.e. weight loss!) in an environment where you will have fun learning about your body and other aspects of fitness.
Weekly topics include foot care and proper biomechanics, assessing your cardiovascular efficiency, the importance of stretching and strength training, nutrition and hydration, common injuries, and others.
The instructor will provide handouts each week about the topic of focus as well as maps of various routes and distances within the neighbourhood so that you may go the distance outside of group walks towards greater wellness.
If you are thinking about becoming more active for the summer, the Walking Club is a great place to start. If you are already active and want to add a different dimension to your weekly routine while learning more about health and meeting new people, the Walking Club is for you.
Registrants who sign up with a friend will receive a FREE PEDOMETER, and at the low cost of $25 for a 5-walk punch card that you can use at any of the 3 sessions during the week, this club is a great value.
Check the Lifewise Health & Wellness website for Walking Club walk times and drop in to sign up and receive your complimentary T-shirt.

Warm Welcome to Dr. Joy Simon!
Since graduating from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2004, Dr. Simon has gained valuable experience and insight in treating a variety of conditions and patients in several practices around Toronto. She is certified in acupuncture, through the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute – bringing another dimension to her practice.
Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Physical and Health Education, and a Bachelor of Science from Queen’s University, and as a former elite level athlete and 2005 World Masters Games gold and silver medalist, Dr. Simon has a passion for all things health and fitness.
Through school she worked as a personal trainer, educating her clients about the benefits of an active lifestyle and the importance of proper technique while helping them achieve their fitness goals. She incorporates this philosophy into her practice; actively involving her patients in their own healthcare decisions and treatment through open dialogue and education.
Dr. Simon has also become a Registered Trigenics Physician. TRIGENICS is a neuro-kinetic assessment, treatment and training system which relieves pain and increases strength and movement. It is used by manual medicine physicians such as osteopathic and chiropractic doctors as well as physiotherapists integrating resisted exercise neurology, muscle nerve treatment, and bio-feedback breathing. The addition of Trigenics to her practice has helped Dr Simon effectively treat stubborn conditions in everyone from the arm chair athlete to serious athlete, aiding them to improve strength, flexibility and performance both on and off the athletic field. With all these tools Dr. Simon excels in treating a wide range of injuries, from stress and tension related headaches, repetitive strain disorders, chronic low back pain, arthritis and sports injuries.
Dr. Simon will be available for chiropractic appointments at Lifewise on Wednesdays and Fridays. She is scheduled to begin treating on June 30th. – please give her a warm welcome!
