Everyday Enzymes by Dr. Liz Cruz - Product Review
I was recently sent Everyday enzymes to try out! Why do I take and recommend Digestives enzymes? There is this thing called enzyme gap may. This may not only cause digestive problems, but it can also weaken the immune system and lead to a slew of other health issues like fatigue, acne, eczema, headaches, mood swings, joint pain, etc.
These digestive enzymes are all-natural and a healthy way to ensure the whole family is getting the most out of those fruits and veggies!
Ive been using the Everyday enzymes for about a week and since I have been on prep for quite a long time some vegetables tend to cause me bloat by the end of the day. By taking the everyday enzymes regularly this hasn't happened.
A little bit more about Everyday Enzymes:
Everyday Enzymes are an all-natural supplement designed to help your body digest and absorb the maximum amount of nutrients. It supports the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This supplement can help not only with digestive issues (acid reflux, nausea, gas, etc.) but it can also boost the immune system, metabolism, and improve overall health. Everyday Enzymes may be given to young children, pets and it may even be taken during pregnancy / lactation. (In fact, expectant mothers find it helps with nausea!)
Digestive Enzymes Will Help You:
- Eliminate abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and acid reflux.
- Get the most nutrition out of the food you are already eating.
- Get off of pharmaceutical or over-the-counter drugs.
Many people suffer from minor (or major) stomach issues (like gas, bloating, acid reflux) and while taking Tums or Pepto Bismol may provide relief...it is merely helping the symptoms, not the problem. Everyday Enzymes get to the root of the problem and have been proven to be extremely effective in getting people off pharmaceutical or over-the-counter drugs for digestive issues.
A healthy stomach often benefits many other areas of health. Even if you don't have stomach problems, these supplements can help boost your immune system, fight fatigue, and even help with anxiety.
"Patients are shocked to learn that their stomach may be the cause of their other health problems," says the creator, Dr. Liz Cruz. As a gastroenterologist and a parent of four kids, Cruz is determined to keep her family feeling good and staying healthy in the most natural way possible.
"It's amazing to see people get off pharmaceutical drugs in an all-natural way. This information and these tools need to be shared with everyone now more than ever! It's never too late to change how you feel."
– Liz Cruz M.D.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND DIGESTIVE ENZYMES:
In order for your body to benefit from what you eat, you need digestive enzymes to break down the food. Proteins need to be broken down into amino acids; fats need to be broken down into fatty acids and cholesterol; and carbohydrates need to be broken down into simple sugars. At birth we are given a certain potential for manufacturing enzymes in our body, creating an enzyme “reserve.” However, if we do not continually replenish that reserve through proper nutrition, it runs out. Enzyme deficiency can cause digestive issues, a weakened immune system, fatigue, acne, eczema, headaches, mood swings, joint pain.
Dr. Cruz is on a mission to educate and help families adapt a healthy lifestyle that fits their needs.

She is the creator of Everyday Enzymes, as well as a variety of other wellness products designed to promote all-natural, holistic wellness.

An easy-to-use guide to maintaining brain and body health throughout life, The Aging Brain is based on solid, up-to-date scientific research, and the interventions discussed may help prevent progression toward dementia, even in those already showing signs of mild cognitive impairment. The recommendations also may help reduce disability and depression.
"This book isn't just for people hoping to slow the aging process,” says Jennings. "It's also for anyone who is a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to suffer from dementia. It offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.”
Jennings, who maintains a private practice in Chattanooga, TN, has authored several books, including The God-Shaped Brain and The God-Shaped Heart.

Powerful Story Shares One Woman's Struggle To Overcome Abandonment And Abuse
Raleigh, NC, August 16, 2018 ― Deja' was dealt a losing hand, and no one would have blamed her for simply accepting her fate. Her father died before she was born, and her mother chose drug addiction over her daughter. With loneliness consuming her, Deja' could have folded. Should have folded. But instead, she learned how to recycle her pain, and she began drawing from every source of positive influence that entered her life: a God-loving grandmother, a supportive godmother and a street-savvy godfather who taught her how to redirect her pain and survive in this world.
But the challenges just kept coming, and Deja' encountered countless betrayals and abuses along the way, which lead to an unhealthy marriage, and ultimately, a pattern of unhealthy relationships with men that lasted for several years. Aware that she is repeating a family cycle of poor choices, Deja' needs to rally what's left of her strength and determination to break that cycle. Will her fortitude be enough? Or will this final test break her spirit once and for all?
Overcoming the Hand You Were Dealt is the powerful new book from Kisha Taylor. Cultivated from her personal experience with abandonment, Overcoming weaves an authentic and captivating story of struggle, pain, hope and faith that culminates in a heartwarming climax of healing and restoration.
In addition to the book, Taylor's website, lifeunlimited1.com, enables her to continue her passion for women's emotional health, with courses that tap into the warrior in every woman, that cover abandonment issues and that help survivors understand why they act and feel the way they do. The website also houses inspirational items like T-shirts and mugs with messages of empowerment, and a blog with videos and messages of encouragement.
Author Kisha Taylor was born in Brooklyn, NY, and from a young age, she learned how to navigate the real world of hard knocks. She attended Binghamton University and Baruch College, where she studied accounting and psychology. She became counsel to many, sharing principles on surviving abuse, overcoming life's challenges, healthy ways of handling personal mistakes and how to not surrender to self-defeat.
She is most proud of the lives her journey has impacted, as well as the happiness, confidence and emotional health she now has, which enables her to be a testament of, "You can, if you just don't give up.”

PROTECTING PETS FROM MOSQUITOES AND HEARTWORM
Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance, they can cause major health problems for people and their pets. While dogs and cats are not susceptible to Zika or West Nile from mosquitoes, they are at risk for Heartworm, which is spread from an infected animal to another animal via a mosquito bite. Dogs are especially vulnerable because of the great amount of time spent outdoors, but cats -- even indoor ones -- are at risk as well.
According to Patra De Silva, President of NHV Natural Pet Products, makers of veterinarian-approved and formulated plant-based natural supplements, “Heartworm is a serious disease that can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and other organs. It’s important to take the necessary steps to protect your pets.”
Patra De Silva offers these tips for keeping dogs and cats healthy:
Prevention is key. Talk to your veterinarian about heartworm prevention medication and get your pet tested yearly. Try to limit exposure to mosquitoes. Keep your pets inside at dawn and dusk, which are the most active times for mosquitoes. In addition, natural insect repellents can help keep mosquitoes off of your pets. NHV Target Spray contains a proprietary blend of herbal ingredients including lavender, neem, sweet scented marigold, Ceylon citronella oil, aloe vera and milk thistle, to repel insects and soothe skin, without the use of chemicals.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Be sure to empty water from any toys, car washing buckets, and other receptacles. Keep gutters clean and maintain pools with the proper chemicals. Change bird bath water at least once a week. Check around the base of potted plants for water that has collected. Keep trash cans covered, repair dripping outdoor faucets or air conditioner units.
Stagnant water also presents other dangers for pets, including Leptospirosis, another serious disease, so keeping your property free of standing water is doubly crucial. It’s also important to make sure your pets don’t drink from puddles, ponds or lakes when they are outside.
Heartworm is a life-threatening disease and must be treated with medication from a veterinarian.
In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms in dogs may include a persistent cough, fatigue or decreased appetite. Sometimes they have a swollen stomach. Emergency signs to look for include dark colored urine or labored breathing.
In cats, symptoms include a cough, trouble breathing, vomiting and weight loss.
If your pet exhibits any of these signs, take them to the veterinarian right away.
In tandem with medication, to help ease the symptoms, NHV Heartworms Kit provides natural support for pets. It includes Hearty Heart to help boost blood flow, Inulin PK to help repair damage from parasites, and Milk Thistle to improve liver function.
NHV NATURAL PET PRODUCTS provides veterinarian-formulated supplements derived from natural botanicals to support the health and well-being of pets including dogs, cats and small animals. In addition to the safe and effective manufacture of a full-line of Veterinarian-approved pet supplements that contain organically grown and ethically wild crafted herbs and botanicals, NHV also offers vet consultations to provide professional support and guidance for disease prevention and treatment for over 100 pet health conditions.

CMPA information session addresses physician wellness
OTTAWA, Aug. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - The Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) will host its Annual Meeting and Information Session on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The theme of this year's Information Session is "Healthier physicians: An investment in safe medical care."
Healthcare is facing a crisis of well-being that impacts patients, providers, and the sustainability of the system as a whole. Studies show that burnout—which is the most commonly reported and consistently measured form of psychological distress—occurs in a third to over a half of North American physicians.
The Information Session will extend the critical conversation around physician wellness. We know that physician burnout:
- increases costs to the healthcare system, leads to poorer quality care, and makes accessing care more difficult
- is the "canary in the coalmine" and indicates problems with the work environment
- reflects system-wide problems, highlighting the need to invest in system-wide change to improve physician wellness.
PANEL:
- Dr. Todd Watkins, Managing Director, Physician Services, CMPA (moderator)
- Dr. Carol-anne Moulton, Associate Professor, University of Toronto, and Staff Surgeon, Division of General Surgery, University Health Network
- Dr. Scott McLeod, Registrar, College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta
- Dr. Hartley Stern, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, CMPA
Location: The Fairmont Winnipeg, 2 Lombard Place, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0Y3
Date: Wednesday, August 22, 2018
Time: Annual Meeting—1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. / Information Session—3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Onsite registration is available. One-on-one interviews with panelists or CMPA representatives can be arranged.
