Dr. Kelly Upcott

ND Naturopathic Doctor

Windsor, ON, Canada

 

Dr Kelly Upcott obtained her Bachelor of Science from the University of Windsor before graduating from the four-year naturopathic program at The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2003.  Dr. Upcott uses nutrition, herbs, homeopathy, acupuncture, and lifestyle counselling in practice.  In addition to naturopathy, Kelly has received specialized training in Bowen Therapy, a soft tissue technique that is designed to treat a wide range of problems, including musculoskeletal injuries.  She enjoys working with families and has a special interest in chronic inflammatory conditions, digestive disorders and women’s health issues.

Dr Upcott currently divides her time between private practices in Leamington and Windsor.  Kelly has published articles in Metro and Windsor Body Magazine and holds monthly free lectures for the public on how the naturopathic approach to medicine relates to current health issues.  Dr. Upcott may be heard on Ask the Experts across Canada throughout the month, where she discusses natural approaches to arthritis.

Dr Upcott comments on the approach Zwell brings to maximizing wellness for boomers and seniors -

“The Zwell philosophy of health fits for me because as a Naturopathic Doctor I practise based on the principles of mind-body-spirit medicine. Rather than looking at individual symptoms and treating them in isolation, my approach is to look at the patient as a whole, meaning that true health can only manifest when the mind is calm and rested, the body systems perform correctly and in balance and the spirit finds joy, through connection with loved ones, mental stimulation or physical activities.”

-     Dr. Kelly Upcott April, 2010

Healthy Tidbits

Researchers found that flow-mediated dilation (FMD), a marker of blood vessel function and heart health significantly improved after resveratrol supplementation compared to placebo. These beneficial effects increased with higher doses.

A recent study of nearly 3 dozen healthy Zoomers revealed that 60-minutes of yoga, 3 times per week was able to trigger a natural “anti-anxiety” chemical in the brain called GABA,  versus the same amount of time spent walking. Those in the yoga test group had higher blood levels of the neurotransmitter GABA, which is often recommended as a dietary supplement for those experiencing anxiety and depression.

A study recently conducted states side on a group of Zoomers with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease demonstrated better balance and mobility amongst those who participated in an hour long dance class, twice per week.  Benefits lasted for several weeks after the dance classes ended and participants reported great enjoyment from partner dancing such as Tango.

According to a new study, researchers at Oxford University conducted a two-year trial with volunteers with mild cognitive impairment, characterized by slight problems with memory loss, language skills or other mental functions and found that large doses of B vitamins can halve the rate of brain shrinkage and may slow the progression towards dementia.

A recently published Swedish study, which followed over 30 thousand women during a ten year period, assessed the impact of a taking a daily multi vitamin and mineral supplement on heart disease and heart attack risk.

Of the healthy women who began the study, those taking a daily multi exhibited a 27% less change of having a heart attack versus their non-supplementing counterparts. The findings also suggest that the longer the women were taking their supplements the better the preventative effects.
