Designs for Health BC

It’s going to be May! Who else can’t believe how fast April has gone by?! I can’t complain though, I’ve spent most of the month catching up (virtually) with so many wonderful friends and clients, and I look forward to meeting with more of you next month!... When we have a one-on-one Zoom call, the meeting is all about what is important to you and your practice. Whether it’s learning about new products, going over treatment protocols, or brainstorming ideas to grow your business, I am here for you! If we haven’t met in a while (or ever!) please send me a DM so we can set something up. One of the biggest perks of my job is that I get to meet so many amazing individuals across BC and I can’t wait to meet with you! Have a wonderful Friday

April is IBS awareness month and to kick it off, I wanted to highlight one of my favourite probiotics Probiotic Supreme DF is a high-dose, dairy-free probiotic, delivering 15 billion organisms per dose in a caplet form and using an advanced patented delivery system to ensure delivery of the highest number of live organisms to the intestinal tract As the probiotics are meant to release over an extended time frame, effective dosing need only take place once per day. This... also ensures delivery throughout the entire intestinal tract DM me for more information about Probiotic Supreme! @designsforhealth.canada #designsforhealth #garydfh #health #wellness #April #ibsawarenessmonth

All of the power of Oil of Oregano in a gentle, emulsified form . Oil of oregano has long been used for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and intestinal cleansing benefits. Traditional formulations can be quite irritating to the gastrointestinal mucosa. To circumvent this issue, @designsforhealth.canada emulsifies the oil in olive oil. Not only does this make then Oil of Oregano more tolerable, but also increases the surface area of the essential oil particles. One study es...timated that 200mg of oil could theoretically cover the entire luminal surface of the small intestine To learn more about our Oil of Oregano, DM me or send an email at [email protected] to set up a meeting. @bcnaturopathic @bc_chiro #oiloforegano #gihealth #supplement #natural #quality #superior #guthealth #antimicrobial #antiparasitic #antifungal #wellness #dfh #dfhcanada #garydfh
