Some people see "aging" as a dirty word but it is invertible. We will all age. But how quickly we age mentally, physically and physiologically differs from person to person. Even two people who are the exact same age, born at the exact same time, will age differently. We tend to think that aging is associated with a number or a change in appearance like grey hair, but aging involves much more than that. In this episode, we have asked Dana Remedios from Flora Health to dig deeper with us to talk about what is happening on an internal level of cellular aging. We are going to talk about preventive and supportive aging health, what is actually happening when we age and the importance of detoxification to slow down the aging process.

1One of the leading causes of death in Canadians is heart disease. After further research on the causes of heart disease, I found that heart disease is more common in those who were deficient in omega 3. Consuming different types of fats has become a controversial topic in regards to heart health, which is why I have asked our friends Darren Wright and Diana Gifford- Jones to join us to chat about how healthy fats that contain omegas 3's can in fact help to reduce the risks of developing heart disease.

If you have less than 1 bowel movement a day, experience an increase in food sensitivities, constant bloating, lack of focus, developing mystery rashes, frequent bruising or recurring yeast infections, your gut microbiome may be imbalanced, resulting in a compromised immune system.

Our immune system and gut health are both trendy topics right now, but I assure you, they are more than a trend.
