Helping dogs live longer and happier lives. Fresh food, delivered. Human-grade dog food—that's what Kabo brings to dog owners. In this episode Vino walks us through the brand, and reveals the correlation between healthy eating and activity from humans to pets. The #1 health issue with pets is obesity (like humans) and is driven by overeating (like humans). Listen to learn more about how Kabo can help your dog live a longer and happier life!     

My guest this week, Dr. Julia Carroll is a Board Certified Dermatologist and an expert injector promising natural results for her clients.

“Northern Nutritionist was built on a literal dream. My vivid dreams pushed me to enrol at The Institute Of Holistic Nutrition and become a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. Nothing could make me happier then helping my clients reach their highest health.” Kristen Morton shares her life story of overcoming Melanoma Cancer twice and working through traumas all while abusing partying as a numbing distraction.  After her first diagnosis, she ended up spending the summer living and working in Waterton, Alberta. Surrounded by mountains, Morton of course, climbed as many of them as she could. At this point, deep down, she still felt very fearful and lost. After realizing how impactful that summer adventure had been on Morton's wellbeing, it allowed her to reconnect and come home to herself. Climbing mountains connects you to your highest self; your crown chakra. This is where the mountain is derived from in her logo. The arrow portrays that she will help you on your journey to truly reach your highest self. The more you are connected to your crown chakra, the greater you will feel in charge of what you feed yourself - in lifestyle, diet, mindfulness and beyond. Join us on this episode as we talk all about stress, acne, digestion and cancer with Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Kristen Morton. 

“Naturally, some people are really good at math, or really good at sports, I’m really good at fucking feeling crystal energy! I don't know, I don't know why I signed up for this shit and I don't know why I was born, but apparently this is what I’m really good at.” Getting raw and real about what wellness actually means in a world of "wellness gurus." Listen to the ups and downs of a 12-year fitness and wellness specialist honouring herself with the healing power of crystal energy, chakras and Ayurveda. 

"Our bodies require some oxidation, we require some inflammation, if we didn't have any, we wouldn't recover from injuries," says registered dietitian Eric Williamson. He explains why we should avoid dichotomous thinking when it comes to what we eat, and instead focus on creating consistent routines, “foods are not good or bad, they're on a spectrum, we need to consider the situation, we need to consider the person.” In his coaching practice (called Unlocked Fitness and Nutrition), Williamson primarily sees people for fat loss, muscle building and sports performance. Listen to hear our conversation on fad diets, The Game Changers debate, and how we can all better grapple with healthy lifestyle choices.
