Hey!

Ok....I guess I don't know you! I didn't see your actual name up, but thought seeing as you were from Toronto and into holistic nutrition that I might know you. I'm just about to graduate from CSNN in Mississauga.

My interest in Nutrition began a few years ago when I started experimenting with natural treatments of anxiety. I began by taking sugar out of my diet, cut down on caffeine and acohol......I also started on EFA's and 5 HTP. It made a huge difference. The last couple of years I really noticed a negative change in my moods come October, so I decided to start supplementing with Vit. D. That's really helped to take the edge off!

What else? Well, having children has definitely taken me into a much deeper exploration of nutrition for various reasons that I won't get into here. Check out the blog archives for "Oliver's Story" that will explain a lot of it!

Cheers!

I am just as new to this site, I can definitely relate to Sarah. I saw the link on facebook and had to get signed up right away. Although I don't know much about the 'nitty-gritty' of health nutrition, I understand the value of healthy living. I know that you can't get the right outcome with out the right income. I'm open-minded and I'm here to learn.
I'm currently working with the world’s largest health & wellness brand. They sponsor some of the world's top athletes like Asafa Powell & Ronaldinho. They specialize in healthy living and optimum health through Organic supplementation. Hopefully I can learn from people's experiences and expertise and maybe even help some people looking for a better way to get what they need.

What do you do?

I am a Nutrcaceutical Consultant for a line of products and health services for health professionals called Nutrmetrix Advanced Nutraceuticals. In addition I am a distributor of the same products for individuals. In addition our Transitions Lifestyle System which is a low glycemic way of eating has produced incredible results for many individuals. It is a combination of healthy eating exercising and a lifestyle change. My passion for health and nutrition stemmed from my son being diagonosed with Chrons disease at 14. After 2 years of medical care he was on 35 to 40 pills a day and going nowhere. I then put him on a regiment of digestive products from our product line and changed his diet and within 4 months he was off all his medications and thriving. He is not 18 and living a active lifestyle and is in better health then he ever has been. In addition his disease is in remission. My goals are to help everyone I can with a healthier lifestyle.

Hi Cindy,

We have him on an isotonic Digestive Enzyme Supplement with Probiotics, Strawberry Kiwi Aloe Juice, OPC-3 (Antioxidant), Complete Greens and Omega 3's. In addition we have him on a gluten free diet which we received a book called Breaking the Vicious Cycle from a personal friend who also had Chrons.
