A lactose-free protein source, Pea protein powder is loved for its taste, texture and protein content. Unlike many other plant-based protein powders, you can get a smooth texture with pea protein powder. Plus, it’s pretty taste-neutral, so you do not taste split peas in your smoothie. The pea ingredients are also a great gluten free option. Check out our selection for Vega Protein powders which are pea protein/plant based and taste great!

4 Tips to Ease Stress
Learn to say no – both on a professional and personal level. You should never take on more than you can handle. Cut down your to-do list – Analyse your schedule and prioritise your tasks by level of urgency. Limit the time you spend with people who stress you out – If someone causes stress in your life, limit the amount of time you spend with them and be more aware of your reaction to them.
Take control of the situation – Identify how you can limit stress in a particular situation e.g., if shopping makes you stressed do your shopping at a less busy time or make a list.
Fight Colds & Flus & Viruses
Your immune system needs a strong thymus and spleen to produce antibodies and specialized white blood cells that help prevent disease. Do you know how yours are functioning? Nutritional testing is a great way to find out if there is a weakness or imbalance in these immune organs. If a weakness or imbalance is identified, specific nutrient formulations designed to naturally support and strengthen the thymus, spleen and immune system can be taken. This will help you to better fight against influenza, rhinovirus (common cold), pneumonia, and COVID. Remember the old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Community Spotlight: Keto Treats Bakery
My journey to opening Keto Treats Bakery began when my son (age three at the time) began having seizures. After spending years researching what might help him, I learned that a high-fat, low-carb keto diet could play a key role in managing epilepsy. I also learned that such a diet could help me with my own inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. When life got busy, I found it difficult to keep up with the keto lifestyle and couldn’t find low-carb products readily available. Since then, I have made it my mission to provide customers with high-quality, low-carb baked goods!
Stress Handling With Biofeedback
Everyday we have an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts running through our minds. Considering that our minds can only handle 7-10 bits of information at a time, no wonder we start to feel overwhelmed, especially at this time of the year. Unmanaged stress contributes to many health issues such as lowered immunity, headaches, exhaustion, insomnia, chronic pain, and depression, to name a few. Alternative approaches such as Biofeedback testing and treatment are very effective in handling stress. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body process and handle stress better.

Importance of Sleep for Exercise
If you’re not getting enough sleep, it’s difficult for your body to perform at its best. When you’re tired, your muscles won’t operate at peak strength and you’ll find it harder to get motivated to work out. This not only means that it will be difficult to exercise at your top level, but you’ll also be more likely to suffer an injury. Adults should try to get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night if they want to perform at their best. However, if you are frequently doing intense workouts, you may need more. Listen to your body and, if you feel very tired, you’re likely sleep deprived.
Holiday Season Safety for Pets
The holiday season presents many hazards for pets. Holiday treats such as rich, fatty scraps of meat, pork and poultry bones, alcoholic beverages, chocolates, and other treats have been linked to pancreatitis in dogs. Xylitol, a sugar substitute, can cause a dog’s blood sugar to suddenly drop, potentially leading to kidney failure. Holiday plants like berries from mistletoe, holly, hibiscus, Christmas roses, and poinsettia are toxic to pets. Christmas tree water can be poisonous, and things like ornaments, hooks, tinsel, candles, lights, and electrical wiring can all pose hazards to a pet’s wellbeing. Keep your pets safe this holiday season!
