January 26, 2021. Short Fasting Update! And Q&A

The photo was taken about 30 minutes after the […]

Stress. What is it? How does it affect us?

Many years ago, Holistic Health Practitioner, Elite Athlete Coach and corrective exercise specialist Paul Chek identified six types of stressors that harm our body.

The TDEE formulas are derived from an average of people following a typical westernized/modern diet. This kind of diet is high carbohydrate and made up of at least 70 to 80 percent of plant foods (keep in mind that almost

Microbiome and Gut Bacteria Made Simple

Your microbiome, or ‘gut flora,’ (microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites and fungi) is solely governed by what you eat. If you, for example, stop eating harmful fiber and starches (carbohydrates,) the bacteria that feed off it will die and be replaced by other bacteria that enjoy what you are now eating.

The importance of Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is known as the energy vitamin and if there’s one vitamin that older people are frequently low in, it’s vitamin B12. In one study, 15% of adults older than 65 had clinically low levels – and most researchers and nutritionists think the number is much higher. As we get older we make less stomach acid and you need a protein found in the gastric juice called intrinsic factor in order to absorb
