The human gut is more complex than previously thought and has a huge impact on whole-body health.  A healthy gut contributes to a strong immune system, heart health, brain health, improved mood, healthy sleep ,effective digestion and it may help prevent some cancers and autoimmune diseases.
       Today, we begin a series of discussions with Sara Lodge, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.
Sara has over 13 years of experience in the health and wellness industry and runs her practice with a holistic approach, keeping the entire body in mind.
        Each episode, we intend to focus on a specific gut related area- today we discuss the gut/hormone/weight issue.
        We  touch on menopausal weight gain, is there a relationship between the 'gut microbiome' and weight gain,  is there a hereditary factor in your gut bacteria and much much more.
         Along the way, Sara gives tips on how to improve digestion and decrease bloating, and shares her opinion on a few foods that are marketed as " good for you foods".This may be a bit eye opening!

        Please join us for this very entertaining and informative conversation!

Comparing yourself to others is real and it is an affliction that can block us from reaching our potential and rob us from understanding our own uniqueness.  It can affect every area of our lives - if we have no authentic self identity because we are always wanting to "be" like someone else, then our choices in life become altered, our true passions never realized and eventually lead to depression and anxiety.
        Social media is multiplying the severity of this situation due to unrealistic images that young people see and believe are real.
         Today, the ladies discuss the aspect of body image and as Susan describes, is the single most detrimental influence on her life!!  
        Women are encouraged to live up to unrealistic standards of beauty, especially as they age.  It is time to stop judging each other- but mainly YOURSELF - free yourself of this ego based burden and start living an authentic, joy filled life!!

           Let us know how " Comparisonitis" has affected your life- leave us your comments!

In today's episode we focus on the mind/body connection with respect to healing and pose the question-Is the human body capable of facilitating it's own healing, with our guests Dr. Akbar Khan and Dr Doug Andrews, both from Medicor Cancer Centres in Toronto.
      We    discuss the book Radical Remissions by Dr Kelly Turner, in which she investigated thousands of so called 'miracle cures' and the nine factors that were common to all cases, which Dr Khan and Dr. Andrews corroborate siting examples from the clinic.
       This is a broad topic and we barely skimmed the surface but our goal at Lunch With A Healer is to pique your interest, open your minds and perhaps recognize that it is time for 'conventional' practitioners to take a more holistic view of medicine, incorporating the mind/body/spirit connection in their treatment modalities.

Dr Akbar Khan is a graduate of the University of Toronto faculty of medicine in 1992.  Through his work in pain and symptom management of cancer patients he developed an interest in non-toxic cancer treatments. Dr. Khan has gained international recognition for his work with non-toxic cancer therapies. In 2006 he co-founded Medicor Cancer Centres in Toronto.  In 2018 he received the title of 'Integrative" Medical Doctor and in 2018 founded Sano Via Wellness, a health and wellness division of Medicor.  Dr Khan regularly publishes in peer reviewed medical journals and lectures internationally.
Dr Doug Andrews is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto in 2002.  He is presently the director of naturopathic medicine at Medicor Cancer Centres .  He is also the director of naturopathic medicine at Sano Via Wellness- the private integrative wellness division of Medicor.

In Part 2 of our interview with Fitness Coach and Culinary Nutritionist Ms Marla Shoom, we focus on nutrition, specifically for women over the age of 50.
         As Marla pointed out in our last podcast, fitness over 50 is a "whole new ballgame" - the same holds true with respect to nutrition.
          Marla addresses  nutritional deficiencies that she observes with her own clients and presents simple advice that revolves around 'BALANCE'.
           Marla believes in abundance, not deprivation.  But it is necessary to understand what and why we eat (or don't eat) to then create a sustainable, generous meal plan specific to our unique body type. LISTEN , LEARN AND ENJOY!
