Hormone Therapy and Medical Weight Loss for Newfoundland and Alberta
What an AMAZING day in Gander! 💙
A huge THANK YOU to every single woman and man who came out to see me today at OT Medical for an InBody Body Composition Analysis.
You kept me going NONSTOP from 12 p.m. until after 6 p.m. — and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! 🙌
I had hoped to see as many of you as possible during those six hours, and Gander, you definitely showed up! ❤️
The InBody analysis is such an incredible tool because the number on the scale only tells us a tiny part of the story. Being able to look at things like muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat and overall body composition gives us so much more useful information — especially when we’re working toward weight loss, improving our health, or simply trying to understand our bodies better.
I hope every one of you walked away from your short visit with me today with at least one piece of information or advice that helps you move forward on your wellness journey.
I was so impressed by all of you, and I truly cannot thank you enough for the kindness, conversations, smiles and LOVE you showed me today. 🥰
And a very special thank you to Heather at OT Medical for arranging today and making it all happen. 💕
Funny enough, I only managed to get ONE picture all day! 😂 No social media content, no photo shoots — because you kept me way too busy! And honestly, that is exactly what I wanted. I would much rather spend those six hours talking with you than taking pictures. ❤️
Gander, thank you for welcoming Bird Island Wellness with open arms. Today reminded me exactly why I love doing what I do.
Until next time! 💙

🐾 The dogs are making a little cameo in the background… but the InBody 570 is the star of this reel! 😂❤️
Want to know what’s really going on with your body beyond the number on the scale?
The InBody 570 gives us a detailed look at your body composition, including:
✨ Body fat percentage
✨ Visceral fat
✨ Skeletal muscle mass
✨ Muscle balance throughout the body
✨ Body water
✨ And so much more!
I’ll be in Gander on September 27th with my InBody 570, offering wellness check-ins and giving you an opportunity to learn more about YOUR body.
And Gander doesn’t have to be the only stop! 🚗💨
📍 Where should I bring the InBody next?
If you’re anywhere in Newfoundland and would love to have Julie Kane from Bird Island Wellness come to your community, workplace, gym, pharmacy, wellness centre, or event with the InBody 570, reach out!
I’d love to take this on the road and bring wellness check-ins to communities across Newfoundland. ❤️
Because health isn’t just about what you weigh — it’s about understanding what your body is made of and using that information to support your health.
Gander — I’ll see you September 27th! 🙌
💙 Wellness Wednesday with Bird Island Wellness 💙
Tonight’s Wellness Wednesday was really about something at the heart of everything we do at Bird Island Wellness: taking the time to truly listen to our patients.
Your medical history matters. Your symptoms matter. Your story matters.
That’s why our initial visits are so comprehensive. We spend the time talking about your medical history, your current symptoms, your concerns, and your goals. We want to understand the whole picture — not just one lab result or one symptom.
I’m incredibly proud of the standard of care we’ve created at Bird Island Wellness. I truly believe that taking the time to listen, ask questions, and understand what is happening in someone’s life and body is where great healthcare begins. ❤️
I also have to give a HUGE shout-out to Roots, Rants and Roars! What an incredible weekend for our community. Unfortunately, Saturday’s events had to be cancelled because of the weather, but it also highlighted something we’ve been thinking a lot about with the Bird Island Wellness expansion — the need for a beautiful, versatile indoor venue on the Bonavista Peninsula where large community events can continue even when Newfoundland weather has other plans. 🌊💨
We also talked supplements tonight!
🐟 Carino Omega-3s — a Newfoundland product from a local company based in D***o. I love when we have an opportunity to support local while supporting our health.
✨ Collagen — another favourite we discussed tonight and something that is readily available at Costco. Our natural collagen production declines as we age, and collagen is an important structural protein throughout the body, including our skin, bones, joints, tendons and connective tissues. Think of it as part of the framework that helps hold everything together.
And don’t forget — GANDER, I’m coming to see you! 🙌
📍 September 27th at OT Medical
I’ll be there with my InBody machine, offering FREE InBody body-composition analysis. Come say hello, meet me in person, and learn a little more about your body. I would absolutely love to see you!
Finally, thank you.
To every single patient who has trusted Bird Island Wellness with their care — you have made this practice what it is. Watching this little Newfoundland business grow into something that reaches and helps so many people means more to me than I can put into words.
And to Heidi,
My Practice Manager — you truly are the best thing since sliced bread. 😂❤️
Thank you for everything you do behind the scenes, for our patients, and for Bird Island Wellness.
We are growing. We are dreaming bigger. And most importantly, we are continuing to build a place where people feel heard, supported, and cared for.
Thank you for being part of this journey. 💙

🌱Wellness Wednesday 🌱
09/12/2026
A trail winding along the coast of Elliston. Five incredible food stops. Chefs cooking in the landscape. W**e and b**r tastings. Live music along the way. A dessert picnic waiting at the end. And a few hours to wander, taste, and take it all in.
It’s one of those Roots experiences where the food and the place are completely intertwined.
We’re proud to have Bird Island Wellness as the presenting sponsor of The Hike this year. With their own connection to wellness, nature, and this corner of Newfoundland, it’s a partnership that feels like a natural fit for a day spent outside experiencing everything this place has to offer.

✨ Wellness Wednesday with Bird Island Wellness ✨
Tonight we talked about a few things that I think we need to talk about MORE — especially as we age. ❤️
❤️ Let’s talk about libido.
I shared a patient story tonight about a woman who had been struggling with low libido — something that can have a real impact on confidence, relationships, and quality of life. After starting an individualized hormone replacement therapy plan, she described the change as life-changing.
Low libido affects both women AND men, particularly as our hormones change with age. Yet so many people are embarrassed to bring it up. We need to normalize these conversations. You deserve to feel good, connected, and like yourself again. ❤️
🩸 Iron matters, too!
I also talked about Ferosom, an iron supplement I often recommend for patients who have difficulty tolerating traditional iron supplements. It’s from a Canadian company based in Ontario 🇨🇦 and can be a great option when iron supplementation is needed.
📣 And a BIG Bird Island Wellness update…
We are getting very close to reaching the maximum number of patients we can currently accommodate. If you’ve been thinking about becoming a patient, please don’t wait too long to reach out. We want to continue providing the time, attention, and individualized care that every patient deserves.
And finally… a HUGE shout-out to Heidi! 💕👏
Heidi is the person behind so much of what happens at Bird Island Wellness. She responds to patients, helps with scheduling and appointments, keeps things organized, and does countless things behind the scenes that most people never see.
Thank you, Heidi. You are such an important part of Bird Island Wellness, and I appreciate everything you do for our patients and for me. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined me for Wellness Wednesday and to everyone who continues to support Bird Island Wellness. This little Newfoundland business continues to grow because of YOU. 🏡🌊

❤️ Advocacy. Access. Community. ❤️
Tonight, I’m talking about something that matters deeply to me: Access to Healthcare in Newfoundland & Labrador.
Nurse Practitioners are highly trained healthcare providers who are ready and able to care for patients across our province — but we need a system that allows NPs to bill MCP and be a bigger part of the solution.
So I’m asking you to use your voice. 📣 Reach out to your MHA, ask questions, and advocate for Nurse Practitioners. This isn’t just about NPs — it’s about patients. It’s about families waiting for care, rural communities needing better access, and finding practical ways to strengthen healthcare in Newfoundland & Labrador.
And on a happier note… I’m coming to Gander! 🥰
📍 OT Medical – Gander
📅 September 27
⏰ 12:00–6:00 PM
I’ll be there offering FREE InBody analyses, chatting about wellness, hormones, body composition and your health goals — and most importantly, getting a chance to meet some of you in person! ❤️
If you’re in Gander or the surrounding area, please stop by and say hello. I would absolutely love to meet you.
Healthcare is stronger when communities speak up, providers work together, and patients have more ways to access the care they deserve.
Let’s keep moving healthcare forward in Newfoundland & Labrador. 🌊❤️
Hair loss is far more than an aesthetic issue — it can have a profound impact on overall well-being.
As a Nurse Practitioner at Bird Island Wellness, I want people to understand that hair loss affects much more than appearance. For both men and women, it often carries a significant psychological burden, negatively affecting self-image, confidence, mental health, quality of life, relationships, and social competitiveness in both personal and professional environments.
The numbers are significant. Studies show that approximately 50% of men experience noticeable hair loss by age 50, while nearly 40% of women experience visible hair thinning by age 50. Overall, millions of individuals worldwide struggle with hair loss, often silently, while dealing with the emotional impact that comes with it.
Hair loss can be influenced by many underlying factors including hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation, genetics, and aging.
Too often, people are told to simply accept it as part of getting older — but in many cases, hair loss is a sign that the body is telling us something deeper needs attention.
At Bird Island Wellness, we believe in looking beyond the symptom and identifying the root cause, because health is not just about how you feel physically — it is also about confidence, mental well-being, and quality of life.
✨ Hair health matters.
✨ Your symptoms deserve attention.
✨ There is often more to the story.
