“Think all Magnesiums are Created
Equal? ... THINK AGAIN!”
By: Stéphanie Bureau, Naturopath
alcium instantly comes to mind whenever bone health is
mentioned; iron - whenever blood and anemia is the topic at
hand - sodium is typically associated with blood pressure issues
and of course potassium is inextricably linked to bananas...But
magnesium is far more of an enigma to many people. In fact,
magnesium may well be the most overlooked and unappreciated
essential mineral there is. Ironically enough though, magnesium
is also of vital importance to maintaining human health.
As the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, magnesium
is found in bones, teeth, and red blood cells, and is an essential
element required for proper functioning of the nervous, muscular
and cardiovascular systems. In fact, magnesium is responsible
for over 300 enzymatic reactions and is found in all of the body’s
tissues, but primarily concentrated in the bones, muscles,
and brain. It is required for the production of cellular energy (ATP),
to help stabilize membranes, to ensure muscle relaxation, as well
as for calcium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin C metabolism.
So important is this essential mineral in fact, that there are over
3,500 medical references to conditions related to its deficiency.
Unfortunately however, in most of the developed world, magnesium
deficiency is probably the most common nutritional deficiency.
Magnesium Deficiency
To fully appreciate the scope of this essential mineral,
one need only take a look at some of the primary indications
for which it is used therapeutically: muscle cramping or twitches,
sleep difficulties, irritability, anxiety, depression, attention
deficit, palpitations, constipation, anal spasms, headaches and
migraines, chronic pain and chronic fatigue conditions, asthma,
diabetes, metabolic syndrome, brittle bone disease, osteoporosis,
high blood pressure, hormonal difficulties, menstrual cramps,
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and reflux, among various other
conditions. Clearly, a whole laundry list of symptoms ranging from
the mild to the far more serious, which are associated with a
magnesium deficiency.
To Supplement Or Not To Supplement. . .
That Is The Question
Figuring out whether or not you may be in need of supplemental
magnesium is not always an easy feat. The fact of the matter
is that magnesium levels can be affected by a multitude of
factors such as excessive intake of alcohol, salt, coffee, sweating,
exposure to prolonged or intense stress, chronic diarrhea, heavy
menstruation, use of diuretics, antibiotics and other drugs, as
well as certain intestinal parasites. Add to this the fact that the
magnesium we do consume is often of low quantity, isn’t highly
bioavailable and poorly absorbed from traditional food sources
and run of the mill multivitamin/mineral formulations, and it’s
no surprise that so many are deficient in an essential mineral
of such importance. In fact, despite how easily it can be found
in various foods in the diet, studies have shown that between
68-75% of North American adults are magnesium deficient.
As such, supplementation would clearly be of great benefit to a
great many of us.
The Question Then Becomes: Which
Magnesium
In their natural form, minerals are unusable by our bodies,
and because minerals are inorganic elements, they must first
be converted to an organic or biological compound, a process
known as chelation, in order to be absorbable by the body.
This is naturally done as a normal physiological part of the
digestive process: when an inorganic mineral presents itself,
a chemical process gets under way, chemically bonding
the inorganic molecule to an organic one. This is chelation and
the end product is called a chelate. From here, the mineral
becomes recognizable on a cellular level, as an organic
compound, and becomes usable by the body. Unfortunately
many things can affect the efficiency of our natural chelation
process. As a consequence, many of the minerals found in your
daily supplement, often wind up being flushed out of the body
without ever having been absorbed in the first place.
Albion’s Patented Magnesium Chelate
Fortunately, science and patented technology have found a way
around this by providing an organic molecule in a highly stable
form; one that is highly bioavailable and also easily absorbed.
Albion has in fact perfected a technology that closely duplicates
the body’s natural chelation process, and is the only company
producing ‘true’ chelates with the required purity, stability and
low molecular weight necessary for optimum assimilation and
absorption. Of irreproachable quality, Albion’s organic amino
acid chelates provide complete organic mineral nutrition, giving
the body the ultimate biological advantage.
NEW Trophic Liquid Max Mag With
Albion Minerals - When Any Old Magnesium
Just Won’t Do!
Always with an eye towards the highest quality and innovation,
the good people at Trophic have just launched a brand new
and amazing liquid magnesium supplement. Offered in
a convenient and delicious raspberry-lemonade flavor,
Trophic’s NEW liquid Max Mag, offers a potent dose of Albion®

better than Trophic’s NEW Liquid MAX MAG
with Albion® minerals!

Magnesium helps to maintain bone health by regulating
the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol,
which helps to increase calcium absorption and minimize
risk of calcium deficiency. In the United States, insufficient
magnesium intake is estimated to occur in approximately
64% of men and 67% of women, with even higher levels of
insufficient intake in elderly individuals.

Magnesium glycinate (also known as magnesium bisglycinate)
is a highly water soluble amino acid chelate of magnesium
and two glycine molecules. Clinical evidence indicates that
magnesium glycinate has a significantly higher bioavailability
than magnesium oxide, and is less likely to cause a laxative
effect. Supplementation with magnesium glycinate has been
shown to decrease the severity of muscle cramping.

Probiotics
Y
ou’d quite literally have to have been living under a rock not
to have heard about probiotics. Indeed probiotics have gone
increasingly mainstream in recent years and are now not only
found in abundance in your friendly neighborhood health
food store, but are also a permanent fixture in the majority of
pharmacies and most run of the mill grocery stores. In fact,
so popular have probiotics become, that they are increasingly
added to yogurts to bolster their beneficial bacterial count, as
well as to various dairy based beverages, fruit juices, and all
kinds of healthy snacks.
Taking it one step further down the mainstream route, many
hospitals are now keeping probiotics on hand should patients
develop tricky-to-treat bacterial GI infections.
So let’s say we’re agreed - most people have probably heard
of probiotics ... the question then becomes: do most people
understand what probiotics ARE and what incredible benefits
they offer?

Extraordinary Health™ • Vol 26
101
Going Beyond The Name
If we are to start at the beginning and explore the word itself,
it would seem that the root of “probiotic” comes from the
contraction of the Greek words pro, meaning “promoting” and
biotic, meaning “life.” From there it is easy to understand that
the word basically denotes a substance that stimulates the
growth of microorganisms, especially those with beneficial
properties (such as those of the intestinal flora). In fact, in
general terms, probiotics are defined as live microbes which,
when taken in adequate amounts, confer a definite health
benefit to the person taking them. To put it even more plainly,
probiotics are what are typically referred to simply as “good
bacteria.” A little banal as far as a tagline goes, but if we’re trying
to be on point without going into much detail, that is the basic
gist of it.
I propose we peel the onion a tad further. . .
A Little History
Some Key Benefits
For most people, the word probiotic
conjures up images of thick gooey yogurt,
and while that isn’t entirely wrong, it is
however far too limiting and may lead us
to dismiss friendly bacteria as a mere
marketing gimmick or the latest
food fad.
When all is well, good bacteria should make up about 90 percent of
your gut microflora. That said, the bacterial landscape of the digestive
track is in a constant state of flux due to a variety of factors such as
diet, stress, medication, heredity, illness, and many, many more of
which we don’t fully appreciate. Though the growing body of scientific
The truth of the matter is that
probiotics have been a subject
of much interest among the
scientific community since
the beginning of the twentieth
century. In fact, it was Russian
scientist and Nobel laureate
Elie Metchnikoff who first
suggested that the gut flora
could be modified and that
harmful microbes could be
replaced by beneficial ones,
and ultimately, health could be
bolstered.
Metchnikoff proposed that
intestinal toxicity was caused
by putrefactive bacteria that
generate toxins in the large
bowel. He described how the
proteolytic bacteria, clostridia,
that exist as part of the gut
flora produce toxic substances
such as phenols and ammonia
through the digestion of
proteins. He believed that intestinal toxicity could
directly contribute to the aging process, but that this
process could be suppressed by modifying the gut
flora to replace harmful microbes with beneficial ones.
Metchnikoff’s approach proposed the ingestion of
fermented milk to help establish harmless bacteria
in the gut, decrease the body’s pH, and thus provide
an environment entirely unfavorable to the growth of
proteolytic bacteria. Metchnikoff took his hypothesis one
step further and began testing out his fermented milk
theory on himself - he later reported that his health had
greatly benefited from the exercise.
Since Metchnikoff’s early musings, solid scientific research
on the validity of using probiotics for health maintenance has
been multiplying quickly. In fact, the bulk of current scientific
research on probiotics clearly shows that live active cultures
(friendly bacteria) can help prevent and treat a surprisingly
wide variety of ailments - many of which people would not
think to associate with the gut.
evidence on the subject is already quite robust, we are still merely
starting to learn about the importance of maintaining a healthy
cohort of bacteria in our digestive tract on a regular basis to bolster
our overall health and quality of life. Let’s explore certain key areas in
which probiotics can be of particular benefit.
Digestive Health
Bad dietary habits such as consuming too much sugar nourishes
the harmful/pathogenic bacteria yeast and fungi that live in
the gut, which can actually harm you in many more ways than
merely by impacting insulin resistance. Probiotics fulfill many vital
functions which contribute to bolstering overall digestive health.
Above and beyond however, their primary role is to increase the
population of friendly bacteria in the gut, which in turn, naturally
reduces the number of harmful/pathogenic bacteria. Probiotics
are also essential to ensure the optimal digestion of food and
absorption of nutrients. In addition, probiotics help the body
produce vitamins, absorb minerals and aid in the elimination of
toxins - so are clearly of great importance to the maintenance of
overall digestive health.

Immune Health
More Benefits...
It cannot be repeated enough: most people simply do not realize
that 80 percent of the immune system is located smack dab in
the middle of the digestive tract (in the gut that is!). As such, it
becomes evident why a healthy gut is of primordial importance
to the maintenance of optimal health. In fact, beneficial, healthy,
friendly bacteria have a lifelong, powerful effect on the gut’s
immune system and in turn, on the systemic immune system as
a whole. Indeed, throughout life, friendly bacteria play a crucial
role in the development and functioning of the mucosal immune
system inside the digestive tract, as well as aid in the production
of pathogen-specific antibodies, whenever necessary.
While we have touched upon some of the basic, most obvious
and most scientifically researched benefits of probiotics, the
healthful advantages they offer go far, far beyond. Let’s quickly
explore some (though by no means all) of the other important
benefits of friendly bacteria.
Mood and Neurological Health
If we delve a little deeper and look at some less obvious
conditions that nevertheless do point to an imbalanced intestinal
flora, we find things such as ADHD, depression and autism
spectrum disorder. While most conventional practitioners may
not make the link, many well-versed natural health professionals
are well aware of the scientifically proven link that exists between
these conditions and poor intestinal health. In fact, it is often
said that the gut is quite literally the second brain because it
originates from the same type of tissue as the brain. As such,
both the gut and brain are said to work in tandem-like fashion,
each exerting a decided influence on the other, and each having
an inextricable and profound impact on the other. This intricate
relationship between the two helps explain the link between
neurological disorders and gastrointestinal dysfunction. For
example, gluten intolerance is frequently a feature of autism,
and many autistic children will show signs of improvement (to
varying degrees of course) when they are put on a strict glutenfree, sugar-free diet. Even more interestingly, scientific research
has shown that establishing a healthy intestinal flora within
the first 20 days or so of life plays a crucial role in appropriate
maturation of a baby’s immune system.
DIGESTING AND ABSORBING CERTAIN
CARBOHYDRATES. Without a healthy intestinal flora, the
body simply cannot absorb certain undigested starches, fibers,
and sugars. In the digestive tract, friendly bacteria convert these
carbohydrates into primary sources of important energy and
nutrients, so an all-around benefit to health in general.
PRODUCING VITAMINS, ABSORBING MINERALS
AND ELIMINATING TOXINS. Probiotics help the body
produce both vitamin K and B vitamins, and assist with
mineral absorption.
PREVENTING ALLERGIES. Friendly, healthy, beneficial
bacteria train the immune system to distinguish between
pathogens and non-harmful antigens, and to respond accordingly
to each. This critical function is what prevents the immune
system from overreacting to non-harmful antigens, which in turn,
is the genesis of all allergies (seasonal, food, animal, etc...)
A Few Basics When Selecting Your Probiotics
Ok, so assuming you are now convinced of the importance of
incorporating probiotics into your daily regimen, which will you
choose? With the sheer number of probiotics on store shelves
nowadays, unless you are particularly well-versed in “all things
probiotic”, it can be difficult to know how to navigate. Indeed,
finding the right probiotic for your particular needs isn’t always
as easy as it could be. There are literally thousands of different
options on the market, all with varying potencies and ingredients
- and complex Latin names like Bifidobacterium bifidum and
Lactobacillus rhamnosus, how do you keep them straight, much
less know which to select?
Truth be told, there are many, many varying opinions
on what constitutes the ideal probiotic formulation.
Should you opt for a freeze dried formula which will
make the product shelf stable for a longer period of
time? Should you opt for this or that strain of probiotic
and then again, which particular origin is best? Should
you get dairy-free?...Of fungal origin? Or whatever else
flavor of the month?
Honestly, there is no right or wrong answer.
The bottom line is that you want a probiotic of high
potency from a respected, reliable and quality source...
and you want one that comes from as high a number
of strains as possible.
In fact, what is absolutely key when selecting your
probiotic formula is the number of strains that the
bacteria come from. Given that the gut contains
roughly 30 to 40 kinds of strains of bacteria, it
only makes sense that you should select a probiotic
formulation with as wide a range of strains as
possible, so as to reap the most beneficial impact
on your health.
Bottom Line
Probiotics offer many, many benefits to health both in terms of health maintenance and disease
prevention, as well as treatment for a great many
diseases. Don’t wait to get sick or to finally realize you
are functioning at far less than your best...look for one
of Trophic’s quality Probiotic Formulations today
and start living your most healthful life!
Introducing a revolutionary new probiotic coming
to store shelves near you (in November)!
Trophic UTiRelief
Supplying a robust 15 billion active live
bacteria from 11 different probiotic
cultures per capsule, along with
a powerful dose of cranberry extract
to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs)
and help prevent their recurrence,
Trophic’s brand new UTi Relief is
an expertly formulated, dairy-free,
gluten-free and non GMO
probiotic preparation.
UTiRelief is a carefully thought-out formula and one that truly
responds to an important need in society, given the significance of
recurrent UTI sufferers. Of note, a number
of recent carefully designed, controlled scientific studies done
in humans have concluded that cranberry juice is far more than
an old wives tale “cure” for UTIs. Indeed, cranberry juice has
scientifically shown to be effective at treating and preventing urinary
tract infections. Obviously this has important implications, when
you take into consideration the prevalence of the condition and the
associated health care costs. To illustrate, statistics show that urinary
tract infections are far more common among women than men, and
that one in three women has had a urinary tract infection in her
lifetime. In the US alone, this translates to over 8 million trips to the
doctor’s office each and every year and over $1.6 billion in treatment
costs. Given these facts, Trophic UTIRelief is clearly a game changer in
the treatment of urinary tract infections!

I’ll always go back to for the rest of my life.
EHM: You’ve also played for the Vancouver Canucks
and the Toronto Maple Leafs. What’s next for you in your
NHL career?
DB: I’m a free agent right now. Training camp begins
on September 17th, so I have about a month to see what will
happen, what will transpire. Anything can change in the matter
of a minute. You never know where you’ll end up, but that’s
something you train hard for so that when you’re given this
opportunity, you’re ready to jump on it. I’m training hard
to make sure that whatever team it may be, I’m ready to
go. I’m truly looking forward to another season.
EHM: What are your off-season hobbies?
Do you and Ashley do anything special together?
DB: We’re very dedicated to making sure that we get
our workouts in and that we’re eating healthy no matter
where we’re at. With that said, we’re able to travel a lot.
We always go to Park City, Utah. We traveled to British
Columbia to visit friends—there’s a very active lifestyle there
that we love. This summer, we were in Australia for two weeks.
Wherever we go, we try different things; we take in the culture.
There are a lot of opportunities out there that we’d like
to take advantage of while we’re young and healthy,
and before starting a family of our own. Garden of Life
plays into that a lot, since we’re able to travel with our
products. It makes it easy for us to maintain our active
and healthy lifestyle.
EHM: So, how’s the married life? (Married Ashley
Booth on June 14, 2014)
DB: I love being married. She takes good care of me,
and I wish I had this kind of support a lot earlier in my life.
But, she steals all of my Garden of Life supplements.
I have to hide them from her sometimes!
EHM: What are some of your favorite Garden of Life
supplements, and how have they helped you?
DB: There are so many products that I can’t go without.
Starting with the probiotics, the new line of Dr. Formulated
Probiotics is spectacular. I’m using them for some digestive
health issues I’ve been dealing with. I’m not a scientist
or a nutritionist, but I do know that some of the processed food
that we consume, including GMOs, additives and artificial flavors,
destroy the natural process of digestion, so we’re not getting
the optimal benefits from the natural foods we eat.
So, eliminating that possibility by taking the right probiotics,
fish oils, proteins and the other products that Garden of
Life has really allows me to get the maximum nutritional value
from the whole food I consume.
EHM: So, it sounds like you take more than just the
probiotics, right?
DB: Yes. I use the fish oils every day—those are huge for me.
I have a shake, if not two, almost every day using the RAW Fit®
and RAW Protein along with the Perfect Food® RAW Organic
Green Super Food. All of the products are amazing. Your body can
really tell when you’re using the products and sticking with
them. You just feel so much better. The quality of the products
surpasses pretty much every other brand that I’ve tried. As a
professional athlete, we’re provided a lot of supplements, but
it’s hard to beat Garden of Life. I stick with it all year round.
EHM: We have
a picture of you
kissing a giant
grizzly bear. It’s
hanging up in the
Garden of Life
office. What’s up
with that?
I thought bears were supposed to hug!
DB: I gave him a kiss! We have friends in Vancouver who raise
wild animals. They raised that grizzly bear since it was born.
Not only that, but they’ve had a polar bear for 20 years!
Hanging with the grizzly is definitely a moment in my life that
I’ll never forget.
EHM: Any words of wisdom for our magazine readers?
DB: It’s just a matter of discipline and sticking with what
you want out of life. The way you feel, the amount of energy
you have and your mood have so much to do with what you
put into your body. For us — my wife and I — we’re rarely in a
bad mood. We’re always happy and full of energy! It starts with
discipline.
Grammy’s Magic Millet
SERVES 4
Recipes courtesy of Gwen Eager,
Garden of Life Product Specialist
and Certified RAW, Vegan Chef
Millet is wonderful for building blood, so this recipe
was perfect for me after giving birth. My mom made
this recipe for me several times when she was helping
out right after Murphy was born. Thanks, Mom!
INGREDIENTS (USE ORGANIC)
• 1 cup millet
• 2½ cups water
• 1 Tablespoon Garden of Life coconut oil
• 6 Medjool dates, pits removed
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
DIRECTIONS
Heat up a pot and place millet inside, stirring frequently for
2 minutes to toast the millet. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to medium and add coconut oil, dates and salt. Cook on low,
and simmer for 20 minutes. Eat warm. Try adding ½ teaspoon
of cinnamon and/or fresh berries on top, if desired. Lasts 5 days
refrigerated. It’s gluten free, dairy free, vegan and soy free.
Crockpot Chuck
• 1½ pounds of boneless beef chuck roast
• 2 Tablespoons Garden of Life coconut oil
sea salt
• 1½ cups beef or chicken broth
• ½ cup red wine or an additional
½ cup of broth
• 1 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes
• 1½ cups chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 6 garlic cloves
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
DIRECTION
Turn crockpot on high and add in all ingredients, except the
chuck roast. Generously salt the chuck roast on both sides.
Place coconut oil in a skillet on stovetop and heat on high. Place chuck roast
in skillet and let sear for 2 minutes on each side. Next, place the chuck roast
in the crockpot, cover with lid and let cook for 6 hours. Lasts 5 days refrigerated.
It’s gluten free, dairy free and soy free.
The crockpot became my new best friend after Murphy was born
because I could make some delicious recipes that didn’t take a lot of
time. Basically, you just throw everything into the crockpot and let it
do its magic for several hours, which leaves you more time for baby!

It’s Fall
Back on the
Rollercoaster We Go!
With the new school year already in full swing, the hot, lazy days
of summer slowly fading into memory, and work commitments
ramping up, most of us are far too busy to be thinking about
hitting the gym or taking on a healthy new “get in shape”
program. Indeed, the majority of adults have a tendency to power
through our fall commitments. . .only to suddenly awaken after
the frenzy of the holidays to ill f itting clothes and a sluggish
metabolism. This is typically what triggers our renewed
commitment to getting into shape, f inding that healthy balance
and getting back to our ideal weight. But it needn’t be this way.
L
et’s face it, we North Americans have a natural tendency
to be really active during the warm spring and summer
months, but to gradually go into hibernation mode
as fall rolls around and the temperatures start to dip. That
isn’t to say we don’t love our winter skiing and snowboarding
sessions, it’s just that we’re far less committed
to our healthy lifestyles in the cooler months. Après-ski anyone?
of all of the body’s cells. To illustrate, the human body assembles
& utilizes over 50,000 proteins for growth and to build and
repair tissues, and they are essential for the building and
maintenance of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, blood, hair,
fingernails, serum albumin, keratin and collagen. Protein also
plays a vital role in fluid and electrolyte balance in cells as well
as acid-alkaline balance throughout the body.
It’s a well-known fact that the period immediately following
the holidays is one of the most popular times to start hitting
the gym, invest in a personal trainer and start getting our bodies
back into rocking shape before the swimsuit season. But if you
think about it, it makes far better sense to start getting fit now.
As such, it becomes evident why delivering a constant supply
of quality protein to the body throughout the day is essential
and never more so than when you’re trying to shed a few
pounds, while retaining muscle mass.
Indeed, why not start getting healthier BEFORE the holiday
season and reap the many awesome benefits of a healthier
you throughout the festivities? It’s win-win no matter how
you look at it actually: the fitter you are, the easier a time
you’ll have tackling the crazy demands of your back to school,
back to work schedule, the better you will handle the many
stressors in your life, the better functioning your immune
system will be and the more easily you will fit into that
gorgeous little holiday dress!
Not to mention that if you’re already healthy and fit before
the holidays actually begin, you’ll be able to allow yourself
to indulge in all of the delicious and sinful holiday treats
without packing on the pounds. There’s just no two ways about
it - a high functioning metabolism is always a plus and leaves
you with a heck of a lot more wiggle room.
OK, so let’s say you’re convinced that you want to start getting
back into shape right away. You’ll start with a morning run;
maybe you’ll do some strength training, aerobics, zumba,
or whatever your favorite workout may be. FANTASTIC! What
a great initiative! I applaud you! You’ve got the exercise part
down. Now you’ll need to tackle the nutrition part. . . and
you know what research says: 80% of reaching your weight
loss goals happens in the kitchen.
Nutrition 101
Simply put, nutrition is the cornerstone of health. It would
only follow then, that nutrition is also at the very center
of any Getting Back into Shape Program. Indeed, it isn’t
simply a question of the number of calories that we consume,
but also of the kinds of calories that we take in. As you begin
your Get Fit Program, you’ll want to make sure you’re consuming
a clean, varied and colorful diet that is chock full of nutritious
RAW fruits and vegetable, healthy and energizing whole grain
carbs and plenty of clean and lean muscle-building protein.
(Oh yeah, and lots and lots of clean, fresh water to keep
hydrated, help flush toxins and support the functioning
of all of your major organs.)
BUT LET’S GO BACK TO THE CORNERSTONE:
PROTEIN. Protein is an essential component of one’s diet.
In a nutshell, proteins are the building blocks of the animal
kingdom. They are a major functional and structural component
Protein powders offer a wonderful solution, allowing you to meet
all of your body’s daily protein requirements, without blowing
your caloric budget on high fat / high sodium food-form protein.

The Hunolts
On a Mission to Steward Nature
with Their Organic Farming
by Jason and Branwen Hunolt
The Hunolt Family Homestead—
Proving How Organic Farming Can Heal Our Planet
Garden of Life® associate Jason Hunolt and his wife Branwen are living a dream in their dream
homestead—a lovely historical home with a few acres that includes a 3,600 square-foot organic farm
and more. Here’s a look at their progress—straight talk from the Hunolts about what it takes to build
and live out that dream.
I
t’s been an interesting first few months carving out the framework
of our organic farm that was birthed in our hearts. My wife and
I have ideas that are shared by many and pursued by few, but
we decided to embark on this adventure anyway.
Here’s a bit of a backdrop: I’m an herbalist, and a Territory
Manager at Garden of Life, whose uncompromising commitment
for organic and non-GMO food and products ignited a deeper
passion in me and Branwen to take this even more personally
and live it out daily: we wanted to set up a permaculture/
organic/non-GMO homestead consisting primarily of fruits,
veggies and medicinal herbs. We are avid organic farmers,
and completely embrace the non-GMO movement for many
reasons too numerous to list here. Additionally, we wanted
a new—or renewed—understanding of human beings’ relationship
with their mother, our Earth.
We started with a couple tasks—outside of learning how
to care for and maintain multiple landscaped acres. Our initial
foray into our organic farm venture was to test the theories
and suppositions we have apprehended over the years
and to provide an empirical structure to judge them against—
a rather daunting task.
Daunting or not, however, Branwen and I are up to the task
because it’s that important to us. We choose to heal, to honor
the Earth, to leave our mark—not only for ourselves and
our daughter, Estelle, but for generations who follow.
How Our Organic Gardening Dream
Became a Reality
After many years of having a handful of small raised beds
growing vegetables, we knew that we wanted an organic
garden—a big one. In short, the variety of vegetables that
we wanted to grow could never fit in three 8’x 5’ plots. Don’t
get us wrong. You certainly can grow a nice amount of food
in that space, but one winter squash plant can take over two
of those, if it wanted to, and we simply wanted more veggies
than just winter squash.
We say that we wanted to have a big organic garden,
but we never had the opportunity to have one until recently,
when we had a chance to purchase a beautiful historical
home with a few acres. As you can imagine, we leapt
at the chance to buy the house and the land—and to start
our mega organic garden.
Our dream was becoming reality and our imaginations
began running wild to turn the most pressing projects
into reality as soon as we moved in. That said, our top
priorities (if not essentials) were to create 3,600 square-foot
garden and make an 11’ x 12’ chicken coop.
Believe us when we say that it’s much easier said than done.
Our Garden and Chicken
Coop Adventure
Take our garden, for instance. The garden needed a rabbit fence
ASAP. Why? Apparently, the boxwoods in the landscaping were
home to a little rabbit farm, so we couldn’t plant anything until
the rabbit fence was in place. So, what we thought we needed to
tackle first became more like second and third. The rabbit fence
had to happen first.
Next up, we realized that you don’t just go create a garden
aimlessly, so we also have been putting swales in the garden
because we want to incorporate permaculture principles
to create as much of a self-sustaining and self-maintaining
system as possible.
So, what is permaculture? Glad you asked!
Permaculture is the concept of creating permanent
agricultural systems. This traditionally includes features
that allow natural resources such as water to be captured
and stored to maximum efficiency.
Now for polycultures. . . Polycultures are plants that not only
have beneficial or harmonious relationships with each other,
but also enrich the soil and support the soil and landscape
structure. They could be plants that add nitrogen, plants that
have deep roots or mats of roots that create soil stability
for slopes, or even plants whose roots loosen compacted soil,
allowing water to soak in the landscape and allowing you
to work the soil easily.
In short, everything is multipurpose. You see? There is much
more to gardening than meets the eye.
Even water has its ups and downs—literally. We have preserved
water in some cases, and lost it monumentally in others, but our
goal is to find a way to not need to irrigate our fields in any way.
So far, we are succeeding, but we have a lot to learn and only
time will tell if this will work over the long haul.
While we were scrambling to get our garden going and
chicken coop built, we were at the mercy of an exceptionally
rainy and steamy summer. You know Mother Nature—she is
going to do what she does, so you just have to work around her!
Speaking of working around. . . we also had to work around
our job responsibilities and commitments as well as family
obligations. We knew that going into this, but sometimes
we sure wished there were more hours in the day!
And then, every so often, there are setbacks because, well, life
just happens and being human gets the best of us. For example,
we lost some precious time with a window of good weather
due to Jason being very ill for five days from—of all things—
a bad case of food poisoning. Can you believe it? When it rains,
it pours. During that time, Branwen wished that she had
some carpentry skills and gigantic muscles like Jason does,
but, sadly, she didn’t get her wish, so we had to wait until
Jason recuperated.
Now for the latest on the chicken coop adventure.
The breed of chickens we purchased ended up growing feathers
incredibly fast. We have never had chickens fly so early before,
and we’ve never seen anything like it! That really upped
the ante for us to get the chicken coop livable though,
since they were quickly outgrowing their box with the heat lamp.
Happily, the almost-fully-feathered chickens are now in their
new home—the chicken coop. They love perching on the natural
branches and stumps that we fixed inside. We still have to finish
some trim and add the roofing shingles though. The next big project
is to finish the enclosed run for them to enjoy the outdoors.
That too, seems to be an ongoing endeavor, but Estelle absolutely
adores those baby chicks and cradles them when we check
in on them. It’s so cute! She learns something new every day
about organic farming.
In the meantime, our garden has been growing like gangbusters!
By early August, we had already harvested all of our French
salad radishes, and the Daikon radishes were quickly maturing.
Beets were being pulled and lacto-fermented, and the carrots
were ready too. Peas had already finished reaching their peak
by the time the dog days of summer rolled around. The garlic
was completed as well. Pepper cress had already gone to seed,
while the cucumbers were starting to really produce. The corn was
growing fast, and the sweet potatoes were thriving, while the winter
squash and watermelon plants were doing what they do best—
taking over as much land as possible while sending out flowers
galore. Our culinary herbs were happy in the August weather, and
the climbing pole beans were flowering. The tomato plants and
peppers were fruiting, and we were looking forward to harvesting
some of them soon.
We even had green and brown cotton plants that were getting
happy, and we are excited to teach Estelle about fiber and
textiles, helping her understand where her clothes, not just
her food, come from. We want to teach her to be a good steward
of the earth, and understand that she is a part of the earth,
and that we have a non-negotiable, interdependent relationship
with plants, starting from the ground up.
While we got a late start with our garden, it was nice to know
that there was still ample time left in the growing season.
August is when most gardens really start booming—the soil
is warm, the sun is hot and the electric rain of thunderstorms
acts like superfood on the plants. The truth is that many people
can start their own garden even in August, since there is still
time to plant some short-season crops, such as beets, carrots
and bush beans, for a fall harvest. Likewise, many items are
planted in the fall for next year’s harvest—onions and garlic,
for example.
All in all, we say that gardening is downright amazing,
so go ahead and get sweaty and dirty while gardening.
Not only does it help purge last winter’s funk out of your lymph,
but gardening also exposes your body to the wealth of beneficial
microbes which are all around you. Truth be told, our bodies are
meant to adapt to and incorporate the microbial world found
immediately around us by us eating food grown in the local soil.
What better way to do that than to garden?
So, from our family homestead to you: We will keep you posted
about our journey. May all of your endeavors be green!

VEGAN STAR
Emily Deschanel
Makes No Bones About Her Health
by Rhonda Price
When Emily Deschanel casually tosses around words such as phalanges, manubrium and scapula,
it’s because she’s learned a thing or two while playing Dr. Temperance Brennan on FOX Television’s
longest-running comedy-drama, Bones. Entering its 11th season in October, the show is based on the career
of forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs, and premiered on September 13, 2005. After filming
more than 200 episodes in a decade, her character, nicknamed “Bones,” has scrutinized enough skeletons
to name nearly all of the 206 bones in the body. When we spoke with her recently, she was happily
multitasking at home while feeding her two-month-old son in between interviews.
I’ve
“I’ve looked at a lot of gross, dead bodies on the show over the
years,” Deschanel laughed. “I’m definitely more aware of the fact
that there are a lot of things which are not good for your bones.
For instance, if your body doesn’t get proper nutrition, it will
actually leach what it needs from the bones and cause problems.
Once, when I was filming a scene, my character was supposed
to offer someone a soda to drink. I said we couldn’t do that because
soda is not good for your bones!”
In real life, Deschanel’s ancestral bones trace back to French,
Swiss, Dutch, English and Irish descent. Born in Los Angeles,
the 39-year-old actress and producer is the daughter of Academy
Award nominated cinematographer Caleb Deschanel and actress
Mary Jo Deschanel, and bears a striking resemblance to her
younger sister Zooey, the star of the comedy sitcom New Girl. After
graduating from Boston University’s Professional Actors Training
Program with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater, she made her
feature film debut in 1994 in It Could Happen to You. Following
notable appearances in Cold Mountain, The Alamo and Glory Road,
she was named one of “six actresses to watch” in 2004 by Interview
Magazine. She won the lead role on Bones in 2005 and has been
a hit with millions of fans ever since.
On the show, Deschanel has a great relationship with co-star
David Boreanaz, who plays her husband, FBI Agent Seeley Booth.
The duo solve murders and unexplained deaths from clues gleaned
from the victims’ skeletal remains, but it’s the dark comedy and
affection between the two stars that set the show apart from similar
crime shows. Off the set, life is much less dramatic for Deschanel,
who is married to actor and writer David Hornsby and lives
in Los Angeles with their two young sons. While raising a family
and working can be daunting, she is committed to several
causes and is an outspoken supporter of how vegetarian and vegan
diets can help the environment. With the season premiere of Bones
coming up in October, we talked to her about why she thinks
the show has been successful for so long and how life has
changed at home with a new baby.
Extraordinary Health
Magazine: Congratulations
on the recent birth of your
second child! How does life
change with a two-month-old?
Emily Deschanel: It changes
a lot. The balancing act
you do with one child and working is multiplied by about
50 times! I’m breastfeeding, so I’m trying to schedule that
every two hours during the work day. There are a lot of new
challenges, but I don’t mind. My son is so cute!
EHM: Is there such a thing as achieving balance with your
career, motherhood, marriage and your personal interests?
Do you have any tips for others striving to do this?
ED: I’ve realized that you simply can’t do everything, at least
not every day. For instance, maybe you can’t exercise one day
because you need more time with your kids. When I’m not able
to be with my sons, I like to leave some reminders for them.
I write notes to my oldest son, Henry, and put them in his
lunchbox, or I’ll leave a note for him to find near his bed when
he wakes up so he’ll know that I’m thinking about him.
EHM: You’ve been a vegan for most of your life. Are you raising
your kids vegan?
ED: They are not 100 percent vegan, and neither is my husband.
The kids are about 99 percent vegan, and that’s because I let
them eat eggs occasionally with their dad. I think it’s a great way
to feed your babies. Henry loves veggies, and he’s totally into it.
Someone gave him candy at a party not long ago and he asked,
“Why did they give this to me? I don’t eat candy!” So, I’m really
proud of him because nutrition is important to me, and I love it
when I have these victories. I know it can sometimes be tricky
to feed kids, but I openly offer healthy vegan options and
cultured vegetables to them all the time.
EHM: Describe your diet for us. What are your favorite foods?
ED: I have a very alkaline diet. I love to drink green juices and
eat lots of salads. I also like to make a habit of eating as many
different colors of vegetables as I can. As for treats, of course,
there’s fruit and you can even get vegan chocolate. For Easter,
I buy little chocolate vegan bunnies and give them to everyone.
ED: I don’t sit a lot. I try to stand or walk more because
it’s so much better than sitting around. During the day,
I’ll do little bursts of exercise such as 30 squats, and then
I’ll try to keep moving all day long. I’ve learned it’s not good
to avoid exercising entirely just because you don’t have time
for a full workout at the gym that day. I focus on getting
in a few minutes of exercise here and there when I can!

EHM: What other things do you do to stay healthy?
EHM: Can you tell us about your involvement with the Farm Sanctuary
and why it’s important to you?
ED: I’ve been a fan of the organization for years and joined their board
about a year ago. Everything started when I decided to become vegan
22 years ago after visiting their sanctuary in New York. It was life-changing
to see animals growing up in a healthy environment. I like to take Henry
so that he can experience these animals and see that they have their
own personalities—even the chickens! It’s very eye-opening to go there
because they also do a great job of educating about the dangers
of factory farms and where our food comes from.
EHM: Do you believe leading a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle can help
save the planet?
ED: Absolutely. Some people don’t seem to realize that factory farms
do more harm to the environment than all of our transportation vehicles
combined. There are a lot of discussions about the importance of fuelefficient vehicles, but people can do more for the earth by becoming vegan.
EHM: Bones is one of the longest-running shows on television.
Why do you think the show has resonated with audiences for so long?
ED: I believe it’s because it’s not just a procedural show. The tone changes
all the time and people are really interested in the characters. I can think
of several other shows that are more focused on solving the crime instead
of the people who are solving it. Bones is fun to watch because people fall
in love, break up and experience difficulties, but it also has a lightness to it.
Sometimes, it seems like an action thriller, while other times it feels more
like a comedy with a few dead bodies thrown in!
EHM: Do you watch other crime shows at home?
ED: Not really. I’m a huge Downton Abbey fan!

QUELL™ WEARABLE THERAPY
If you’ve ever wished you could “wear” pain relief therapy
whenever you needed it, then Quell™ Wearable Therapy could
be just what you’re looking for! Using Transcutaneous Electrical
Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technology, Quell is said to relieve
nerve-related pain in as little as just 15 short minutes.
How? You strap on the passport-sized device to the back
of your calf, turn it on, and then it sends electrical pulses
to your nerves, signaling your brain to release pain-soothing
opioids. The company says that Quell can diminish pain
due to conditions such as sciatica, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid
arthritis, knee injuries, sprains and even
labor pains. All that and there is an
accompanying app which gives feedback
concerning your therapy sessions,
the device’s battery life and your sleep—
all of which Quell tracks using a built-in
accelerometer. To learn more, go to

Quelques bénéfices clefs des probiotiques
2015, c’est assez certain que pas mal tout le monde a entendu
parler de probiotiques, mais est-ce que la majorité des gens
comprennent vraiment tous les bénéfices que ces derniers
offrent? Explorons les probiotiques...
Il est estimé que quand nous sommes en santé, les bonnes
bactéries devraient représenter environ 90 % de notre microflore
intestinale. Ceci étant dit, les caractéristiques bactériennes
du système digestif ne sont bien évidemment pas stables - elles
sont au contraire changeantes et évoluent constamment en
fonctions d’une variété de facteurs tels que l’alimentation,
le stress, les médicaments, l’hérédité, la maladie, et plusieurs
autres dont nous ignorons l’impact.
Bien que les preuves scientifiques sur l’importance d’une flore
intestinale saine pour le maintien de la santé sont déjà très
robustes, nous n’avons encore qu’effleuré le sujet et il reste
énormément à apprendre sur les implications de maintenir
un bon équilibre de bactéries dans notre système digestif.
Quelques notions de base lors de la
sélection de probiotiques
Supposons que vous êtes convaincu de l’importance
d’intégrer des probiotiques dans votre régime quotidien afin
de maintenir votre santé. Quelle formule choisirez-vous?
À vrai dire, avec le vaste choix de probiotiques disponibles sur
le marché aujourd’hui, à moins d’être particulièrement bien
renseigné, il peut être difficile de savoir comment naviguer
et faire un choix éclairé. En effet, trouver le bon probiotique
pour vos besoins particuliers n’est pas toujours aussi facile
qu’il pourrait l’être. Il existe littéralement des milliers
de différentes options sur le marché, avec chacun des
concentrations et ingrédients différents - et des noms latins
complexes comme Bifidobactérium bifidum et Lactobacillus
rhamnosus - comment choisir en effet!
À vrai dire, il existe plusieurs différentes opinions sur ce qui
constitue LA formule probiotique idéale. Devriez-vous opter pour
une formule lyophilisée qui rendra le produit plus stable
Trophic UTiRelief NOUVEAUTÉ !
Fournissant un solide 15 milliards de bactéries actives
et vivantes, provenant de 11 souches différentes de
probiotiques, ainsi qu’une puissante dose d’extrait de
canneberge pour traiter les infections des voies urinaires (IVU)
et aider à prévenir leur récurrence, le tout nouveau UTiRelief
de Trophic est une formule à découvrir! Exempt de produits
laitiers, de gluten et d’OGM, UTIRelief est une formule gagnante,
qui répond vraiment à un besoin important dans la société,
étant donné la quantité de personnes qui souffrent d’infections
urinaires récurrentes. En effet, il est à noter que plusieurs
études in vivo récentes - soigneusement conçues et contrôlées ont scientifiquement démontré que le jus de canneberge
était des plus efficace dans le traitement et la prévention
des infections des voies urinaires.
et permettra de le conserver plus longtemps? Devriez-vous opter
pour telle ou telle souche de probiotique, et ensuite, quelle
origine particulière est la meilleure? Devriez-vous sélectionner
une formule sans produits laitiers? ... Une formule d’origine
fongique ... ou quelconque autre saveur du mois?
À vrai dire, il n’y a pas de bonne ou de mauvaise réponse.
Ce qui importe est que vous sélectionnez un probiotique qui est
hautement concentré, qui est fabriqué par un laboratoire fiable,
respecté et reconnu pour la grande qualité de ses produits ...
et provenant du plus de souches possible. En effet, ce qui est
absolument essentiel lorsque vous choisissez votre formule
probiotique est le nombre de souches desquelles les bactéries
proviennent. Étant donné que l’intestin renferme environ 30 à
40 types de souches de bactéries, vous devriez sélectionner une
formule probiotique avec un éventail aussi large que possible de
souches, de manière à récolter le plus d’impact bénéfique sur
votre santé.
Répondant justement à tous les critères ci-hauts, Trophic vous
propose une toute nouvelle formule probiotique innovante à
découvrir!
Évidemment, ceci a des implications importantes, lorsque l’on
prend en considération la prévalence de la maladie et les coûts
de soins de santé associés. En guise d’exemple, les statistiques
démontrent que les infections des voies urinaires sont beaucoup
plus fréquentes chez les femmes que chez les hommes, et
qu’une femme sur trois a eu une telle infection dans sa vie.
Aux États-Unis seulement, cela se traduit par plus de 8 millions
de visites chez le médecin chaque année et plus de 1,6 milliard
$ en traitement. Clairement un problème de santé de taille!
Qu’attendez-vous?
Les probiotiques offrent clairement de nombreux avantages
pour la santé - à la fois en termes de maintien de la santé
et de prévention de la maladie, ainsi qu’en tant que
véritable traitement pour un grand nombre de conditions.
N’ATTENDEZ DONC PAS DE TOMBER MALADE

Le glycinate de magnésium (aussi appelé bisglycinate de magnésium)
est une forme chélatée de magnésium et de deux molécules de
glycine, un acide aminé, et il est entièrement soluble dans l’eau.

Des études cliniques ont démontré que le glycinate de magnésium a
une biodisponibilité nettement plus élevée que l’oxyde de magnésium
et qu’il est moins susceptible d’avoir un effet laxatif. Il a été démontré
que la prise de suppléments de glycinate de magnésium diminuait la
gravité des crampes musculaires dans les jambes.

Si vous pensez que tous les magnésiums sont égaux...
vous ne connaissez pas Max Mag de Trophic!
Qu’est-ce que le magnésium?
Le calcium nous vient en tête instantanément quand l’on parle des
os; nous pensons automatiquement au fer lorsqu’il est question
du sang ou de l’anémie; nous associons naturellement le sodium
à la pression artérielle, et bien sûr le potassium aux bananes...
Mais le magnésium par contre, est une énigme pour plusieurs
d’entre nous. En fait, le magnésium est fort probablement le minéral
essentiel le plus méconnu et négligé qu’il est. Paradoxalement,
le magnésium est également d’importance vitale pour le maintien
de la santé.
QUELQUES FAITS : le magnésium est le quatrième minéral
le plus abondant dans le corps. Il se trouve dans les os, les dents
les globules rouges, et est un élément essentiel requis pour assurer
le fonctionnement des systèmes nerveux, musculaires et cardiovasculaires. En effet, le magnésium est responsable de plus
de 300 réactions enzymatiques et est présent dans tous les
tissus de l’organisme, mais principalement concentré dans
les os, les muscles et le cerveau. Il est nécessaire pour la
production d’énergie cellulaire (ATP), pour aider à stabiliser les
membranes, pour assurer la relaxation des muscles, ainsi que
pour le métabolisme du calcium, du phosphore, du potassium
et de la vitamine C. Ce minéral est si important qu’il y a plus de
3 500 références médicales à des conditions liées à sa carence.
Néanmoins, dans la plupart des pays développés, la carence
en magnésium est probablement la carence nutritionnelle la plus
courante - chose fort inquiétante.
La carence en magnésium
Pour pleinement apprécier la portée de ce minéral essentiel, il suffit
de jeter un coup d’oeil à quelques-unes des principales indications
pour lesquelles il est utilisé thérapeutiquement : crampes ou tics
musculaires, troubles du sommeil, irritabilité, anxiété, dépression,
déficit de l’attention, palpitations, constipation, crampes anales,
maux de tête et migraines, douleur et fatigue chronique, asthme,
diabète, syndrome métabolique, maladie des os de verre,
ostéoporose, hypertension artérielle, troubles hormonaux, crampes
menstruelles, syndrome du côlon irritable (IBS) et reflux gastrique.
Clairement, il existe toute une gamme de symptômes allant de
léger à beaucoup plus sévère, qui sont associés à une carence
en magnésium.
Avez-vous besoin d’un supplément de magnésium?
Évaluer si vous avez besoin d’un supplément de magnésium n’est
pas toujours aussi évident qu’on le penserait. En fait, nos niveaux
de magnésium peuvent être affectés par toute une panoplie
de facteurs tels que la consommation excessive d’alcool, de sel,
de café, la transpiration, un stress prolongé ou intense, une diarrhée
chronique, une menstruation lourde, l’utilisation de diurétiques,
des antibiotiques et autres médicaments, ainsi que certains
parasites intestinaux. Ajoutez à ceci le fait que le magnésium
que nous consommons de source alimentaire ou fourni par le biais
de formules “multi » est souvent de piètre qualité, peu biodisponible
et mal absorbé, et il n’est pas surprenant de constater que tant de
gens soient déficients en un minéral essentiel d’une telle importance.
En fait, malgré le fait que le magnésium est présent dans divers aliments
de notre alimentation, les études ont démontré qu’entre 68 à 75% des
adultes nord-américains en sont déficients. La supplémentation s’avère
donc nécessaire pour plusieurs d’entre nous.
Mais comment choisir son supplément
de magnésium?
Dans leur forme naturelle, les minéraux ne sont pas utilisables
par le corps, et puisque les minéraux sont des éléments
inorganiques, ils doivent d’abord être transformés en un composé
organique (ou biologique), un processus connu sous le nom
chélation, afin d’être absorbé par le corps.
Le corps effectue ce travail naturellement; c’est en effet une partie
physiologique normale du processus digestif : quand un minéral
inorganique est ingéré, un processus chimique se met en branle,
liant chimiquement la molécule inorganique à une molécule
organique. Ceci est la chélation et le produit qui en résulte est
un chélate. Dès lors, le minéral devient reconnaissable au niveau
cellulaire et devient utilisable par l’organisme. Malheureusement,
de nombreux facteurs peuvent influer sur l’efficacité du processus
de chélation du corps. En conséquence, un grand nombre
de minéraux que l’on retrouve dans notre supplément quotidien
finissent souvent par être évacués du corps sans jamais avoir
été absorbés en premier lieu.
Le chélate de magnésium Albion
La science et la technologie brevetée se sont alliées pour offrir
une molécule organique sous une forme très stable, hautement
biodisponible et aussi facilement absorbée. En effet, Albion a
mis au point une technologie qui reproduit presque parfaitement
le processus de chélation naturel du corps - c’est en fait la seule
compagnie au monde qui produit de «vrais» chélates avec la pureté,
la stabilité et le faible poids moléculaire nécessaire à l’assimilation
et l’absorption optimale. D’une qualité irréprochable, les chélates
d’acides aminés Albion fournissent une alimentation minérale
biologique complète, donnant au corps l’avantage biologique ultime.
