It’s our last episode before Remembrance Day, so we take a moment to honour our veterans including our own late parents. Kathleen looks at the side effects of popular weight loss drugs, and a natural alternative that mimics their actions. Peter talks about this week’s guest, those who will be on the show over the following weeks and our featured author.

Kathleen’s Deep Dive

Kathleen quoted from a report by Dr. Mercola on the dangers and side effects of using Ozempic and similar drugs for weight loss. These drugs were originally designed to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, but are now widely prescribed for losing weight.

The report lists the side effects of taking the drugs and notes that there have been 162 fatalities in the USA, an increase of 40% in six months.

This Week’s Health Recommendation

Our recommended health product of the week is Dr. Morse’s GI Broom which is a powerful herbal laxative and lymphatic puller. It functions to promote the removal of buildup from the intestinal wall using psyllium husk and cascara sagrada, while also stimulating the flow of interstitial fluid from the gut lining into the lymphatic circulation and elimination with the help of chickweed, mullein, plantain, and aloe resin. GI Broom supports the body’s natural cleansing and detoxifying process. The GI Broom should not be consumed within 2 hours of meals, other herbs or supplements.

All Herbs in our Formulas are Organic, Wildcrafted, or Consciously Cultivated.
