Enviromedica CEO - Jared Ramirez: Do You Need a Probiotic?

So, do you really need a probiotic? Yes, everyone absolutely needs probiotics every day. In today’s modern world, there is so much going against us and we are overloaded with toxins. On top of that, we are a very heavily medicated society and our guts are simply out of whack. Things that affect our gut are: processed foods, pollutants in the air, chemicals in our products, and stress. This being paired with prescription medication or antibiotics will put your body into a state of confusion and gut dysfunction.Jared Ramirez is the CEO of Enviromedica, a company whose products reflect symbiotic combinations that occur in nature. Today he joins us to talk about the need for probiotics. Our gut is full of micro-organisms, so many in fact that it is still being studied. But, one thing we do know is that a full-spectrum probiotic, like Terraflora made by Enviromedica, can fight off bad bacteria and strengthen your gut health and gut function. Terraflora is a combination of spore form probiotics and food-based prebiotics. Jared joins us today to talk about his inspiration for creating Enviromedica, and how Terrflora is helping people all over the world.

Is your HEC in Check?

Tina Bernet Allen is a top personal trainer in the DFW area. She has so much experience training people to feel and look their best. In today’s episode, we continue our talk with Tina about HEC. HEC stands for hunger, energy, and cravings. These are all influenced by our hormones. We cover things like blood sugar, differences in fasting for men and women, and when you should eat after a workout. This topic is so important because it helps us to understand the signs and signals from our bodies. And then, respond.  Tina and the team break down the fact that no diet and lifestyle is a one-size-fits-all and you should talk to a professional for the best personalized advice.
