The Road to True Grace

Bryan is taking the month of October to shine a light on some of the fantastic female business owners that we are fortunate to work with at the Sunflower Shoppe. First up, Kristina Hall, Founder of True Grace As a new mom with over 20 years of experience in the natural health industry, It was disappointing to see hundreds of products marketed toward kids that were loaded with sugar and had no mission or sustainable practices. I refused to train our children that eating healthy and getting nutrients meant consuming gummies that added up to 15 grams of sugar a day to their diets. I felt called to provide a better and easier solution to not only moms but to all people navigating through an overwhelming volume of information about health and nutrition while trying to provide the best nutrients for themselves and their families.

All Roads Lead to the Gut

Ep 111 Science is proving that good health is directly associated with having great gut health. Problems associated with bloating, indigestion, constipation, and IBS are all signs that you have a gut imbalance. Many people are told to just take a probiotic because that will make things better. That indeed does help. But what if there was even a faster way? What I mean is this Probiotics that dissolve in your stomach have to compete with your stomach acid. And stomach acid destroys a lot of the probiotic, which means a lower percentage actually makes it to its targeted area. What if you could get 100%? That's right. 100% directly to your gut? Wouldn't that make a healthier environment faster?

Everyday Parasites

Episode 110 In this podcast, we will explore the topic of parasites - what they are, how we get them, and how to treat them. Firstly, parasites are organisms that live on or inside another organism (the host) and derive their nutrients from the host. They come in many different shapes and sizes, ranging from microscopic bacteria and viruses to larger worms and insects. Some parasites can cause serious health problems in humans, while others may not cause any symptoms at all. There are several ways we can get parasites, including consuming contaminated food or water, coming into contact with contaminated soil or surfaces, and having close contact with infected animals or people. In some cases, parasites can also be transmitted through insect bites. Having good gut health is important to prevent parasites in the first place, and there are several herbs that are traditionally used for their anti-parasitic properties. **herbs should not be used as a replacement for prescribed medications without first consulting a healthcare provider.
