Who’s the NEW mystery man coming to Brio?
Who's the NEW mystery man coming to Brio?
For years, Dr.Jeff was the solo male practitioner at the Brio Clinic. Rumor has it that another guy will be taking away some of Dr.Jeff's spotlight.
I know what some of you are thinking...
Who is the mystery man?
Is he good looking?
Does he have special powers?
His friends call him the "Italian Stallion", but at Brio he is known as Mr.Laser. He is an absolute genious (some say a little crazy) when it comes to low level laser therapy.
Mr.Laser will specialize in treating all sorts of pain conditions and injuries.
Call now to book an appointment with Mr.Laser, or to learn how Laser Therapy can help you.
Stay tuned to the next newsletter as we reveal the identity of this mystery man!

You'll see Kyra dressed as a 1920's flapper girl, in a red dress and gold headband. She was a volunteer for the Garden Party fundraiser for RoseWood Manor.

Way to go Kyra! Thanks for your community involvement.
Krill Oil Confusion
There is plenty of confusion over good quality fish oils. Which brand to purchase, liquid form, capsule form. In one of our previous blogs we attached an article indicating what to look for, in a good quality fish oil.
But a question I frequently get asked is regarding Krill oil. Krill Oil is a new omega-3 fatty acid on the scene. It is well promoted by several healthy bloggers. And while I agree with most articles of this one blogger, Krill Oil I always had a strong gut sense it wasn't something to take the place of my favorite Cod Liver Oil.
Here is a website link I found from David Suzuki's facebook group regarding Krill Oil Confusion.
For those of you who have asked me about it in the past, it is a great little article:

Healthy employees make safer decisions!
On Wednesday July 20 the Brio team hosted a table at the River Rock's Wellness Fair for their employees. It was really fun! We enjoyed speaking with people and answering health questions about Naturopathic treatments, Acupuncture, Bowen Therapy and low level laser therapy. We are raffling off a package of treatments for pain management. Also, we chose to raffle off a some delicious Raintree tea from Raintree Wellness Spa. We brew Raintree tea everyday at the clinic and our patients love it. Stay tuned...next week we will be contacting the two lucky winners!
We really enjoyed the culinary samples at the River Rock chef's table at the Wellness Fair. They had rotating chefs from their different restaurants preparing different foods. We had the pleasure of tasting crab cakes, albacore tuna, gazpacho with sambuca marinated wild prawns, just to name a few. Interestingly enough one of the chefs at Curve Lounge was telling us that they use local foods whenever possible. We love that they support our local food producers. We had the pleasure of tasting foods prepared at Tramonto and The Buffet. Lucky for everyone at the Wellness Fair the chefs included recipes with their samples. See below for the Gazpacho wtih Sambuca marinated wild prawns.
