In episode #28 we are learning how your home affects your health with Joel Hirshberg.  Joel Hirshberg is an expert when it comes to creating a safer and nontoxic home environment.  He is the president of Green Building Supply, a company he started in 1991.  The store has since been the go to store for all things natural home.  He helps people create beautiful, healthier homes by delivering high performance, eco-friendly products they have personally tested.  The Vision is to be the number one trusted source for eco-friendly building products.  They've worked on more than 600 green homes locally and hundreds more from coast to coast.  This green adventure results from 27 years of researching and testing non-toxic and green building products.

As visitors from St. Louis, Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago and Des Moines will tell you, the store is not only very real, but they make the trip  unquestionably worth while.

ACTIV WHEY Non-Denatured Goat Whey 

Why We Love It?

  • Goat whey has demonstrated positive anti-inflammatory effects in the digestive system. Cow whey has shown increased inflammatory effects.
  • Cow whey is considered allergenic whereas goat whey is considered hypoallergenic.
  • Whey protein is the "gold standard" for serious athletes. Goat whey is the "gold standard" of that "gold standard."
  • Goat whey is amazing for our immune systems, supporting lean muscle growth and repair, as well as optimal body composition.
  • Goat whey has the full range of essential amino acids in ratios that best support the athlete in all of us
  • It is really light and doesn't ever makes us feel bloated. That's because there is nothing added to fill up space, just the purest goat whey and flavoring.
  • Activ Whey is a goat whey protein that comes from goats that are grassfed all the way through their lifecycle. There are zero antibiotics or hormones used on the goats or the vegetation they eat from.
  • I personally know the creator and can vouch for the legitimacy of the protein and where it is sourced from.
