Dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD) affects 2.5 million Canadians and is the leading cause of adult blindness.

Medcan now offers MacuMira, the first and only non-invasive microcurrent treatment approved by Health Canada for dry AMD.

When you choose Medcan as your MacuMira provider, you receive the support of an expert optometry team to administer the treatments and guide you through the process, starting with a complimentary consultation.

This week, we were thrilled to be part of an event that brought together some of the city's top women founders and executives, hosted by BeUninterrupted.

This year's annual summit took place at the stunning Art Gallery of Ontario and centred on the theme, The Art of the Possible.

The message was clear: the future will not be shaped by those who simply adapt, but by those who anticipate, lead, and create what comes next.

Among the highlights was a panel discussion featuring Medcan’s General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer, Rosie Kogan, on Designing Your Next Chapter, where the group explored optionality – what it means to build a life where you have the ability to choose what you want.

“When it comes to optionality, I see it as being highly dependent on your health,” Rosie shared.

When your health is strong, you have the energy to do more of what you want to do. When it isn't, you may find yourself spending more time managing your health and less time doing what you love.

Thank you to all the women who stopped by to connect with our Medcan team. We were grateful to hear your kind words about the work we do and the impact proactive health continues to have on people’s lives.

What should you ask your doctor at your next checkup?

Medcan’s Dr. Scott Gledhill joined hosts Rick and Faiza on Breakfast Television to answer this question.

Because while there was once a time when your doctor’s office might call to remind you about your annual physical, today, preventive care looks a little different.

As Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health recommendations evolved, routine physicals for healthy adults were replaced with a personalized approach.

Nowadays, preventive screening remains important, but it is done based on age, s*x, medical history, and risk profile.

That makes it more important than ever to understand your risks, know what tests may be right for you, and build a strong relationship with your physician.

Later this month, Medcan's General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer, Rosie Kogan, will take the stage at this year's Be Uninterrupted Summit: The Art of the Possible.

As professional women come together to explore the leadership questions that will define the next decade, Rosie will join the Designing Your Next Chapter panel to discuss how the new success criteria is ‘optionality’ – the ability to have the freedom and flexibility to design a life aligned with your values.

Her conversation will explore how intentional decisions today can create more opportunities tomorrow and how women leaders can create greater optionality across career, wealth and life – and the critical role health plays in shaping those choices.

Did you know? Creatine is the most extensively studied sports performance supplement in the world.

If you’ve heard of creatine, you probably associate it with bodybuilders or athletes. Or lately, you may have seen it on your social feeds as a top longevity supplement. As research expands, creatine is having a major resurgence.

But here’s the real question: is it just hype, or is there evidence behind it?

We asked Medcan’s Clinical Director of Food and Nutrition, Leslie Beck, RD, and Medcan Clinical Director of Sports Therapy, Dr. Andrew Miners, to go beyond the buzz.
