Today’s video is Part 3 in the 3-part series all about probiotics.  Part One discussed the different sources of probiotics and how to find them, while Part Two covered which types to take and when to take them.

Make it a Sweet Life Thanksgiving this Year!

One of the HH‘s favorite holidays is Thanksgiving (which is coming up on October 9th here in Canada!). Although his family did celebrate Christmas, too, when he was a kid, for some reason that holiday didn’t make its mark on his psyche in quite the same way as T-Day (I know, he was a strange kid. . . which explains a few things).

I’m also incredibly thankful that, through the diet and lifestyle changes I’ve implemented, I’ve been able to live many years relatively candida-free. When flareups do happen (as they sometimes do), I have strategies to get back to a sense of equilibrium as quickly as possible.

I clearly remember that day back in 2003 when, as a keen, bright-eyed student at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, we learned about macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. “All foods contain all three macronutrients to some degree,” my instructor said. “It’s just a matter of ratio. So, for instance, most plants are low in […]
