Dr. Carolyn Dean/the Magnesium Miracle

30 minute video of Carolyn talking about Magnesium

Carolyn Dean wrote a book called the Magnesium Miracle. She summarizes some of her findings in the video I've linked above.
To address your foundational nutritional needs, and biochemical balance, I would start with Magnesium. 
Barbara Brennan observed that if one takes Calcium supplements they should alwasy be taken in a 1:2 ratio with Magnesium. Twice as much Mag. More recent research (see the Root Cause Protocol below) suggests that Calcium supplementation may not even be necessary.

the Root Cause Protocol
https://therootcauseprotocol.com

Investigator Morely Robbins started as an advocate for Magnesium after coming across Dr. Carolyn Dean's work.
He continued to read the scientific, peer-reviewed literature from around the world that does not seem to be given to doctors in conventional medical training. 

He discerned that all disease is caused by inflammation, better described as “oxidative stress", and the root cause of inflammation / oxidative stress is “cellular dysfunction” caused by an imbalance of 3 key minerals:
1) Magnesium, 2) Copper, and 3) Iron.

I personally follow the Root Cause Protocol supplement routine because the research and biochemistry made sense to me. I have found benefit and a cessation of symptoms by doing so. You can check it out for yourself and form your own opinion.

I'm still working on an easy way to get the blood tests recommended as a tracking tool in the RCP. You can ask your doctor and see if they support you.

Dr. Jennifer Luck & Dr. Candace Lock
Somerset Health Wellness Centre

I know Jennifer has a lot of expertise around digestive challenges, and has had her own personal journey with that.
I suspect the other ND's at Somerset Health share expertise. I've met Kandis and think she is awesome too. 

Their clinic is on Elgin Street in Ottawa.

Inherited Family Trauma, Inter-Generational Trauma & Ancestral Lineage Repair Work

Ancestral Medicine
https://ancestralmedicine.org/

The work of Dr. Daniel Foor (doctor of psychology) helps you to work with your deceased ancestors and understand the importance of these relationships and their impact on the living.
I have taken Daniel's online course in Ancestral Lineage Healing and found it to be excellent. I highly recommend it.
His book Ancestral Medicine, is a great place to start to understand how to connect with and do repair work on your blood lineages.

Hellinger Family Constellations Work/Inherited Family Trauma

Johanna Lynn
https://johannalynn.ca/

Johanna lives in Aylmer, Quebec. She offers in person sessions, online sessions, and group work.
I find the group work to be the most powerful and illustrative of this approach. I recommend you attend an in person group session if you can for your first experience. You can go to learn and observe without working on your own family the first time if you feel shy about it.

Claire Dagenais is in Montreal Quebec. She also does in person, online and group work.
https://constellationsfamiliales.ca/the-family-constellation/

Judy Melanson is in New Brunswick.
https://hellingercanada.com/atlantic-canada/

Johanna was primarily trained by Mark Wolynn.
https://www.markwolynn.com/
Mark's book, available from his website, is a great layperson's introduction to Family Constellation work. I really enjoyed listening to it on audio.

I also trust Peter & Jamy Faust of Faust Family Constellations.
https://www.faustfamilyconstellations.com/

Jamy & Peter were trained at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing and also trained directly with Bert Hellinger who pioneered Family Constellations work over 40 years ago (deceased, 2019 age 94).
They bring a unique perspective as energy healers to the work and wrote a book about it. They are outside Boston.

Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioners in the Ottawa area.
https://directory.traumahealing.org/

Not all SE practitioners have chosen to be listed on the site, so you can try googling them too.
​I am trained in Somatic Experiencing. I can do sessions online, but I like to have worked with someone in person first, and prefer not to rely solely on virtual connection.

Read Shelley's bio to find out how she became a healer.
