The Australian Government has faced calls to update its tax system to pay off its national debt. The Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers has said he won't ‘rule in or rule out' any changes to future tax plans, including raising the GST, something the treasurer has clearly said he is against. Australian Correspondent Murray Olds says, “there's no doubt, you have to have to have some reform over here.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A breast cancer patient self funding her treatment has said it's unfair she has to pay GST on the drugs that are already costing her ten of thousands of dollars. Wellington woman Amanda Broughton has stage 3 breast cancer and has had nine of 17 Keytruda infusions as part of her treatment. The drug is only funded for late stage cancers. Even after a discount from the drug company the mum of two is fundraising to cover the six figure bill hat's after. However, 15 % of that is GST, or tax, going to the government. Amanda Broughton spoke to Lisa Owen.

Abhay chats with Pramod Varma, the visionary technologist who helped architect India's digital transformation, enabling over a billion people to access digital identity, banking, payments, and verifiable credentials, fundamentally reshaping India's social and economic landscape. (0:00 - 3:41) Introduction(3:41) Part 1 - Describing what he does, transforming India into the transaction economy(20:34) Part 2 - Verbs not nouns, connecting tech to everyone, lessons in equity, personal learning(42:28) Part 3 - leading for magnitude and scale, art and aesthetics, prioritizing equity(1:00:59) ConclusionPramod is currently the Co-Founder and Chief Architect of FIDE.org leading global efforts such as BECKN Protocol and FINTERNET.He has been the chief architect of most of India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) efforts starting with Aadhaar - India's unique ID system that covers 1.4 Billion people; eSign - an interoperable digital signature protocol; DigiLocker - digital credentialing and wallet system having over 9 billion verifiable credentials and over 400 million users; and UPI - the unified instant payment system that was launched in 2016 currently doing over 18 Billion transactions a month.He also played a key role in designing and architecting India's indirect tax (GST) system, national toll collection system, digital health infrastructure, digital agri infrastructure, and digital education infrastructure.Intro:The world needs more heroes, so let me thank you first for your heroism in an effort to engage here and choose TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING as a part of your day and even a small part of your life. I appreciate you watching and subscribing on YouTube, listening on all of the podcast platforms, rating and writing reviews, following on those good old social media places, and sharing this with all your friends and family. Now if I really think about heroic feats in this digital age we live in, I can't think of a better person who effectively embodies it than Pramod Varma. Pramod is a computer scientist and for over the past decade and a half, he has been the driving designer of tech inclusion, equity, and connectivity to India's entire population. He is the chief architect behind many of India's digital public infrastructure initiatives like Aadhar - the digital identity system covering 1.4 billion people that enabled banking access from almost nothing to above 80% in just a decade, and similarly e-sign, account aggregator for open finance, and of course the UPI or Unified Payments Interface that is now processing over 18 billion transactions in India every month. Staggering is a word that comes to my mind, but still doesn't do justice to the scale and scope of work that Pramod has designed and is continuing to lead. He grew up in a small town in Kerala, earned his PhD in computer science and a masters in applied mathematics. Pramod is highly driven by curiosity and equipped with an insatiable thirst for broadly understanding humanity through art and knowledge. After journeying successfully through the early days of the internet in a variety of entrepreneurial and tech leadership roles, Pramod made a deep pivot in 2009 to volunteer on a national digital identity project, and the rest is as they say history. And for those keeping score at home, Pramod's initial success in harnessing a team to do this at scale and at the cost of about 70 rupees per person, was all open sourced and unbundled, so that you could build iterative and supplemental layers on this important foundation for years to come. He is currently the co-founder and chief architect of “Networks for Humanity” creating universal technology infrastructure for the AI driven digital economy and for the tokenization and exchange of all forms of assets across geographies and sectors. A few of the visions that he has co-created are the Finternet, an initiative to build infrastructure that empowers individuals and businesses to unify, verify, and transact their assets seamlessly, enabling billions of people to actively participate in the global digital economy, and also the Beckn Protocol, a vision for peer-to-peer, agentic native, open networks that enable exchange across the global value chains. As you can guess, while most are playing checkers, I feel like Pramod is playing 4-dimensional chess… while keeping a grounded lens on disciplined equity, education, and inclusion. We caught up to chat about it all, but with so many descriptors of his work and accomplishments, especially for people who are getting to know him, I wanted to first simply hear how Pramod tends to describe himself.Cheers to INDIASPORA for the spark!

If you're in Auckland and waking up this morning feeling poorer, it's because you are. It's because we all are. CVs down 9%, rates are up 6% at the start of the month – that's an extra 223 bucks a year. Now the CVs aren't the market value, obviously, but the market value of our houses has also dropped. And so it's right that we feel poorer, we are. But spare a thought for Wellington – CVs down 24%, rates up 17%. No, thank you. Everyone's asking why are we paying more when our houses are worthless? The answer is just because it's how councils collect money, and they have few options to do it any other way. I saw a graph yesterday in defence of councils – this is a tax as a percentage of GDP, over the last 130 years, since the 1800s. The blue line was central government. They tax us through income, y'know, spending via GST, a whole bunch of stuff was up around 30%, peaked at about 35% of GDP. Greedy. Disgraceful. Poor. Old in orange. Your Councils basically flatlining for the last 70 years at 2% of GDP. This is why they want more options to make money, like charging rates on government buildings in their districts. Because yes, the government doesn't pay rates at present. Bit rude, isn't it? We have to. It's why Wayne Brown wants other levers to pull, like bed taxes. But here's the problem: they have a good argument for more funding streams, but they keep blowing up their sympathy with dumb, expensive, useless stuff like cycleways, and raised pedestrian crossings, and road calming measures, and food scrap bins we have to pay for. The list goes on. The problem councils have is that nobody wants to give more money to somebody who wastes it. For as long as that keeps happening, their sympathy tank is on empty.

In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast, host Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong Portfolio Manager, Terry Shaunessy, to unpack how investors are navigating a world where political theatrics, including Trump's tariff flip-flops, no longer move markets like they used to. They explore why the U.S. may need to consider a GST-style tax, why service-based economies could be the next big growth engine, and how market strategies need to adapt to volatility fatigue. The conversation also dives into the Canadian economic puzzle: a stable banking sector weighed down by real estate drag and stagnant productivity. Meanwhile, global markets are showing signs of normalization, and gold continues its quiet rally as a store of value. It's a wide-ranging, timely discussion that blends macro insight with practical takeaways, ideal for investors trying to keep their footing through the policy-induced whiplash of today's markets.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Flat Start for Markets, All Eyes on RBI Indian markets are bracing for a cautious open this Monday. Global cues are mixed—Japan's Nikkei and Topix dipped, while US indices closed steady after clocking their best monthly gains since Nov 2023. Gift Nifty hints at a flat open. The big domestic trigger? The RBI's monetary policy decision on Friday, with markets pricing in a 25-bps rate cut. Investors will also track May auto sales, foreign fund flows, and the fallout from Trump's move to double US steel tariffs to 50%. India's GDP grew 7.4% in Q4, even as FY25 growth slowed to 6.5%. GST collections stayed strong at ₹2 lakh crore+, and crude oil prices are heating up again. “Stay diversified,” says PL Capital's Vikram Kasat. “Macro resilience is intact, but global uncertainty looms.”
Before you sign that contract, make sure you're not buying someone else's hidden mess.Buying a commercial property isn't just about finding a good deal, it's about doing the right due diligence so that deal doesn't blow up later.

From hidden clauses in leases to unapproved mezzanines, strata red flags, dodgy inspections, and misunderstood GST rules, this is the checklist most investors don't follow and regret later.Whether you're buying a tenanted warehouse or a strata unit in a body corporate, this episode could save you thousands, and a whole lot of legal pain.Why reviewing every single lease matters more than you thinkWhat building inspectors miss (and why you need a commercial specialist)How strata reports could leave you holding debt you didn't know existedWhy valuations can get messy if you don't work with your valuerListen to the full episode hereApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-top-10-costs-of-commercial-real-estate/id1651353540?i=1000598368324Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6CpbcXztdKJIL23lagJp3O?si=U-wzPQILQfqtj7aN6TNKtgSHOW CREATED BY REVOLVE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY PODCASTHOSTED BY: Mish DanielPh: +61 401 313 573Website: www.revolvecommercial.com.au Email: sales@revolvecommercial.com.au YouTube: @mishdaniel-revolvecommercialLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/michelline-daniel-commercialFacebook: www.facebook.com/revolvecommercialFacebook Group: Revolve Commercial Group - www.facebook.com/groups/revolvecommercialInstagram: @revolve.commercialTikTok: @revolvecommercialLearn about the ‘RED FLAGS'Download your FREE Due Diligence Book!Use code DD100 to get it for free - revolvecommercia.kartra.com/page/creStart building your wealth on your next Property like a PRO!#Wednesday Night FB Live with Mish Daniel sales@revolvecommercial.com.auWhat's Included:★ Wealth Grow Plan - Generate your personalised, FREE 12-Month Wealth Growth Plan - in just 8 questions!★ Picks Every Month - Grow Your Own Portfolio With Our FREE VIP Investor Pic's of the month★ Due Diligence Checklist - This guide will teach you how to avoid the pitfalls and traps of your commercial property purchase including: buying a dud, legals in disorder & losing thousands.★ Be constantly informed & up to date on all the latest commercial real estate trends ★ Blogs - Dive into the latest industry trends, property insights, investment opportunities, and market analyses, all delivered with a conversational and engaging style and stay informed.★ Case Studies - Explore successful projects, investment strategies, and market developments, all presented in an engaging and conversational style

This week in Canadian real estate, we saw a rare move toward improving housing affordability—but is it too little, too late?The federal government has announced a GST rebate for first-time home buyers purchasing new homes valued up to $1.5 million. Homes under $1 million will be eligible for a full GST rebate—as much as $50,000—while homes between $1 million and $1.5 million receive a partial rebate. The government claims this will help reduce upfront costs for young Canadians and spur new housing construction. But when you consider that only 10–20% of Canada's roughly 300,000 annual first-time buyers purchase new homes, this measure will actually benefit just 30,000 to 60,000 people nationwide. A step in the right direction? Yes. A scalable solution to affordability? Probably not.And while tax relief is welcome, the bigger issue continues to loom: the soaring cost of construction. Since 2017, Canada's Building Construction Price Index has jumped 90%, nearly doubling costs in just eight years—largely driven by pandemic-era supply chain shocks and inflation. This means even with incentives, developers are unlikely to hit federal housing targets, and pre-sale markets will remain fragile as margins thin and feasibility erodes.We also take a deep dive into Canada's residential mortgage debt, which now totals over $2.42 trillion—including $2.07 trillion in mortgages and $350 billion in HELOCs. That's nearly $370,000 in average mortgage debt across the 6.5 million homes with outstanding loans. With an average amortization of 20 years and today's fixed rates around 4.14%, the average monthly mortgage payment comes in at $2,256. That's barely more than Canada's average rent of $2,109, showing how thin the line between renting and owning has become for many households.Meanwhile in the U.S., delinquency rates on car loans have hit record highs—over 6.5% of borrowers are now more than 60 days behind. It's a stark indicator of mounting financial stress, and one that could spill over into the broader economy, potentially triggering interest rate cuts and even recessionary pressure stateside. A U.S. slowdown almost always influences Canada, especially when it comes to monetary policy.We also zoom out and look at G7 home price trends, and the results are jaw-dropping. Since 1985, Canada leads the G7 in inflation-adjusted home price appreciation—up 360%. That's even after an 18% national correction from peak pricing. For comparison, the UK is up 340%, the U.S. 220%, while Japan's prices have actually fallen 30%. The data paints a picture of just how extreme Canada's housing market has become over time—and how hard it may be to “normalize.”And finally, we preview next week's Bank of Canada interest rate decision. As of May 26th, odds are now sitting at 70% that there will be no cut, despite growing calls for relief. With inflation data holding steady and economic signals mixed, the BoC remains cautious.In our mini market update: Vancouver has just crossed 18,000 active listings—the most in 12 years—while May sales are on track to be the lowest ever recorded for the month, even as prices spike. Median prices are now within 1% of all-time highs, and average prices are up over $50,000 in just 30 days. It's a paradoxical moment: high supply, low sales, rising prices.

Affordable housing continues to dominate the national conversation—and yet, no level of government seems to have cracked the code. In today's episode of The Vancouver Life, we're taking this issue into our own hands. Following our most-commented video ever, where we introduced a series of bold ideas to bring truly affordable, ownership-based housing to Canadians, we're back with more. Many responded with sharp criticism, valid points, and even better ideas. It inspired us to expand on the original concept, now tentatively called The Dan Plan, and crowdsource even more solutions from our community. With over 10,000 viewers tuning in weekly, if even 1% of you contribute, that's 100 new ideas we can compile into a living document—and present directly to government contacts with the goal of influencing real policy change.The 'Dan Plan' includes removing development cost charges and developer profit margins by having government step in as the builder, offering 0% interest construction loans, and fast-tracking approvals. For buyers, it proposes radical affordability measures: zero down payment, no GST, no property transfer tax, and even no annual property tax for qualifying homes. These changes, if implemented, would reduce the barrier to homeownership by a huge amount—immediately. This isn't about building a few thousand affordable rentals years from now. This is about creating affordable homes people can own and build wealth with today. And while the plan isn't perfect, it's meant to start a conversation—and we want you to be part of it. Share your ideas in the comments, and we'll refine and present the best of them to government officials.In addition to the affordability push, we highlight a rare real estate opportunity happening right now in Surrey. The Belvedere, a just-completed concrete high-rise, is offering homes at 25% below their original list price. Despite showing “sold out” online, approximately 70 units are being released under this promotion, with prices starting at $721 per square foot. Appraisals are reportedly coming in $90,000 higher than the discounted prices, making this one of the most compelling condo deals in the Lower Mainland. Financing is expected to be smoother with these valuations, and we anticipate a swift sell-out. To learn more or get access, visit condoday.ca or reach out to us directly.We also unpack a massive week in Canadian real estate data. Housing starts jumped 30% in April to 279,000 annualized units—the strongest print since June 2023—but nearly all of that growth came from purpose-built rentals. Condo and single-family home starts, by contrast, have fallen to decade lows. This unusual dynamic points to a likely plateau in rent prices and suggests that condo values may face future headwinds due to increased supply and moderating rents.Whether you're passionate about housing affordability, curious about the current market landscape, or just looking for a rare real estate deal, this episode delivers insight and opportunity. And if you believe Canadians deserve affordable homes they can own, now is the time to raise your voice. Drop your ideas in the comments—we're listening, compiling, and taking action. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
Woolworths claims supermarket competition is intense in New Zealand despite conceding the top two players still have about eighty percent of the market. It claims contrary to popular misconceptions, New Zealand's grocery prices are cheaper than those in the UK and Australia, but the snag is only taking GST out of the equation. Woolworths has released a paper with its take on competition in response to government moves to crack down on the supermarket duopoly. Woolworths New Zealand interim managing director is Pieter de Wet spoke to Lisa Owen.
Woolworth's says Kiwi shoppers are getting a good deal from supermarkets. The supermarket giant's blaming GST for New Zealand's grocery prices rising higher than Australia and the UK. They say food prices could rise as much as six percent if the government was to intervene. Woolworths interim managing director Pieter de Wet talks to Heather du Plessis-Allan about the claims.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
How much of what we hear about Australia’s housing crisis is actually true, and how much is just media hype? In this episode, we’re joined by Cameron Kusher, a property economist who’s here to speak without corporate filters, and he doesn’t hold back. We talk about how the media often gets housing stories wrong, oversimplifying complex issues just to chase clicks. The real concern? That these headlines shape government policy, leading to short-sighted solutions that don’t actually fix anything. Cameron walks us through what’s really driving the supply issue: rising construction costs, GST on new builds, financing hurdles, and why “just build more” isn’t as easy as it sounds. We also chat about the missing piece in most political conversations: renters. There’s been decades of underinvestment in social and affordable housing, but that rarely gets the spotlight. We cover everything from tax reform to built-to-rent models, university responsibilities, and what role governments should be playing. If you’ve ever felt like the housing conversation is stuck or too focused on band-aid solutions, this one’s worth a listen. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:02 - Who is Cameron Kusher? 01:38 - What frustrates Cameron the most about how media covers the housing market 04:21 - How could governments better assist the housing market? 12:44 - How biased is property media? Can we trust it? 15:26 - What do major networks get wrong about the property market? 17:30 - Why immigration is so hard to reduce and what does it means for housing 22:08 - Will falling inflation and interest rates increase housing approvals? 26:31 - Are planning reforms in NSW and VIC actually working? 33:35 - How much housing supply is considered enough? Can we sustain it? 42:14 - Could tax reform like land tax replace stamp duty? 46:14 - Do bold buyer incentives help or hurt the housing market? 48:37 - Are young people really locked out of the housing market? 51:53 - Is ‘giving while living’ the new Bank of Mum and Dad? 53:55 - Will downsizing boomers actually free up family homes? 57:46 - Are Australians becoming comfortable with lifelong mortgage debt? 1:00:06 - Cameron Kusher's property dumbo About Our Guest: Cameron Kusher is a seasoned property economist and one of Australia’s most respected housing market commentators. With more than 20 years of experience working in the Australian property sector., he has held senior research roles at CoreLogic and REA Group, where he served as Executive Manager of Economic Research. Cameron’s expertise spans residential and commercial property markets, focusing on data-driven insights into housing trends, affordability, and policy impacts.

The Canadian federal election on April 28, 2025 presents three distinct approaches to the housing crisis: Liberal Platform (Mark Carney): Offers a middle path with both government intervention and market incentives, including a new federal housing developer (Build Canada Homes), MURB tax incentives for rental construction, and GST cuts for first-time buyers up to $1M. Conservative Platform (Pierre Poilievre): Proposes a free-market approach with significant tax cuts, including capital gains tax deferral for reinvestment, GST elimination on homes under $1.3M, and reduced government involvement in housing. NDP Platform (Jagmeet Singh): Advocates for a housing revolution with massive public spending, stronger regulations, and more tenant protections, including rent controls and restrictions on large-scale investors. The election is notably polarized, with polls showing over 80% of votes concentrated between the Liberals (45%) and Conservatives (37%), while the NDP sits at 8% support.

In this week we cover some of the most consequential turning points in Canada's housing narrative to date including the breakdown of the Federal Conservative and Liberal housing plans. New home construction is collapsing at a national level—plummeting in cities like Vancouver by as much as 36% year-over-year—just as Canadians are being asked to decide who should lead the country through the next era of growth, or decline. We begin with the Bank of Canada's latest rate decision: after seven cuts in the last 12 months, the BoC held steady at 2.75%, citing uncertainty caused by the ongoing U.S. tariff war. Governor Tiff Macklem emphasized that monetary policy can't fix trade disputes but must focus on maintaining price stability. Although unemployment is rising and growth is slowing, the threat of inflation led the Bank to pause further cuts. At the same time, bond yields are surging, which could soon push mortgage rates higher, adding yet another affordability challenge for buyers.Inflation data offered a brief reprieve, coming in at 2.3% for March—cooler than expected—thanks largely to lower gas prices. Shelter costs remain high but are decelerating, and rents continue to trend downward. National home sales, however, paint a more sobering picture. Volumes fell 5% month-over-month and 9% year-over-year, making this past March the slowest on record since 2009. Despite that, prices have only dipped modestly—just 2.1% year-over-year by HPI, and 3.7% by average price—suggesting the market remains surprisingly resilient even as sentiment erodes.But it's the housing start data that really underlines the problem: Canada posted the lowest monthly housing starts in six years, and it's getting worse. Toronto's pre-sale condo market has all but collapsed. Sales are 88% below the 10-year average, and unsold inventory now sits at a staggering 78 months of supply! That's 6 years! Developers are pulling out, projects are being cancelled or converted to rentals, and there's zero profit margin left in many builds. As construction slows, a severe future housing shortage feels inevitable as the roller coaster continues.Finally, we break down the election housing platforms of both the Liberal and Conservative parties. The Liberals plan to double annual home construction to 500,000, reintroduce tax incentives for rental construction, and create a new government housing agency—yet offer little in the way of realistic execution given Canada hasn't built more than 270,000 homes in a single year in over four decades. Meanwhile, the Conservatives propose slashing GST on new homes up to $1.3M, punishing cities that fail to meet housing targets, and offering financial rewards to those that exceed them. They aim to unleash supply by freeing up federal land and cutting red tape, though critics argue their platform lacks implementation details.If housing affordability matters to you—and it should—then this episode is essential listening. We examine not only the data but the direction each political party is trying to take Canada. With construction grinding to a halt, affordability still out of reach for most, and developers hitting pause across the country, the decisions we make now will define the housing market for the next generation. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
Once considered one of the most powerful politicians in Australia, Arthur Sinodinos' (AO) career well and truly speaks for itself. From being one of former Prime Minister John Howard's closest advisors, to taking on the role of Ambassador to the United States during both the Trump and Biden administrations, Arthur is a Greek-Australian with rare, and incredible insights into the world of domestic and international politics and diplomacy. Arthur sits down with Tom and Nick for a wide-ranging discussion that covers gun-control in both the USA and Australia, his time in Parliament, as well as a story on Donald Trump's reaction to meeting Arthur's wife in the Oval Office. But while Arthur's time in politics has ended, his protege, Fiona Douskou's is just beginning. Fiona joins the conversation as she seeks election at the next Austalian Federal Election to the Seat of Barton.

Jeremy Au sits down with Jeffrey Lonsdale to unpack the US-China trade standoff, the Taiwan flashpoint, and how Southeast Asia is adapting to global shifts. They explore how tariffs are reshaping supply chains, the risk of trade wars escalating, and the difficult position countries like Vietnam and Singapore now find themselves in. The conversation also looks ahead at how governments, investors, and founders should think about resilience in a volatile world. 1. Tariffs as a political and economic tool - Trump uses tariffs not only to protect US industries but as a form of domestic consumption tax, shifting behavior and revenue like a GST or VAT. 2. Escalation breeds popularity - Politicians in countries like Canada, Mexico, and parts of Europe gain domestic support by opposing Trump era tariffs, encouraging confrontational stances. 3. Two futures for the US economy - A positive outcome involves cutting red tape and reindustrializing; a negative one sees trade wars, inefficiency, and geopolitical instability, especially if China moves on Taiwan. 4. China-Taiwan conflict would ripple globally - Supply chains are tightly linked—any flashpoint could halt key components, expose Western dependency on Chinese manufacturing, and cripple downstream industries. 5. Southeast Asia's mixed upside - Countries like Vietnam and Indonesia benefit from the “China plus one” shift, but they're also at risk if rerouted exports from China trigger new US tariffs. 6. Neutrality may not last - Singapore's attempt to stay neutral could break down in a Taiwan crisis; facilitating trade with China could be interpreted as taking sides. 7. Southeast Asia's long-term growth hinges on reform - Vietnam and Indonesia need policy upgrades, power reliability, legal trustworthiness, and governance improvements to fully capitalize on global shifts and avoid investor skepticism after scandals like eFishery.

She was trapped inside her young body unable to find answers from every elite professional she sought for help. She became hyper focused on finding answers to her own physical pain and complicated health issues. Anna was driven by the desire to feel young, healthy and vital in her body. This instigated her to buck the medical and fitness systems and go rogue. Anna took a 25 year deep dive into the body's most complex and holistic system and along the way created a revolutionary new science based solution to health and wellness, the ability to use motion for much more than fitness- to remodel, recover, and restore function, health and vitality for the human body. Certified in Pilates, Fascial Fitness with additional extensive study in the fields of physics, biomechanics and myriad movement methods (Yoga, Gyrotonics, Bartineiff, Laban, Applied Kinesiology, Tai Chi, Qigong) as well as manual body work techniques (Barral, Rolfing, Reiki, Rosen Method, dry needling). Anna created GST from the best of all her studies filling in the gaps from her own discoveries and research. Anna is a member of the Fascia Research Society. As the founder and CEO of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians, and celebrities, and has been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal. Throughout her career Anna has had the pleasure of working with and helping over ten thousand people find lasting change by restoring their bodies and reclaiming an ageless vital life.
