Note From the Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center
Welcome to Fall! We have a quick announcement, as we are closed on Thursday, September 22nd and Friday, September 23rd in honor of Dr. Paulina Caban's Wedding Weekend! Congratulations Dr. Caban!! As the weather is changing and days are growing shorter, it is common for people to feel the affects of lack of sunshine (Vitamin D producing rays) in the form of depression. Although there are many different causes to depression (including a Vitamin D deficiency), make sure you are taking the easy steps by choosing nutrient dense foods. See article below for "Poor Eating Habits Contribute to Depression." Just a reminder: we are now offering Vitamin B12 and B6 shots to help with your energy levels. Vegetarians, particularly vegans, are often Vitamin B 12 deficient. You are welcome to stop in on Monday mornings from 9:00-11:00 am to get your B vitamin shots! You do not have to be a patient to receive B vitamin injections. We look forward to seeing you soon! |
Well wishes,
Debbie, Janna, Jim, Wilma, Meghan and Dr. Caban
