Time to show those varicose veins who’s boss! The heaviness, itching, swelling, and undesirable knotted appearance— varicose veins can be an inconvenience on the best of days, and a real pain on the worst. When the veins that keep blood flowing from the legs to the heart become weakened, blood starts to collect, the pressure builds, and veins take on the characteristic appearance. There are a variety of medical procedures that target varicose veins, but many find them intrusive or painful. What’s more, treatment won’t prevent new varicose veins from forming. Thankfully, there are options for natural relief. Flora’s CircuVein is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of varicose veins in just 2 months, while alleviating the swelling and heavy sensation. This award-winning vegan and gluten-free formula supports healthy circulation, while protecting and toning vascular blood vessels. It contains the bioflavonoids diosmin and hesperidin, naturally sourced from Spanish oranges. So, go ahead and show those varicose veins who’s boss with CircuVein…a natural solution.

4 Easy Steps to Banish Yeast by Lisa Kilgour, Nutritionist
If there’s one word that strikes fear the most in my clients it’s the “dreaded C-word”: Candida. Mostly because it’s so common; most of us have a friend or colleague who has been put on a six-month, incredibly restrictive Candida cleanse. You know the type: you’re constantly in the kitchen preparing food and you feel like you’ll never eat anything enjoyable ever again. It’s a very hard six-month sentence. Candida is just one type of yeast that can overgrow in your gut. You can also have an overgrowth of other bacteria or parasites, so we don’t like using the word Candida. I like to call it what it is—a gut bacteria imbalance. Whether you have a Candida overgrowth or just an imbalance in your gut bacteria, the solution is the same. The only difference is Candida can be much more stubborn, so you might need to work at it a bit harder.

Symptoms of a Gut Bacteria/Yeast Imbalance • Bloating + smelly gas • Athlete’s foot • Nail infections (thick, yellowed nails) • Brain fog
• • • •
Irregularity Yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis Exhaustion Intense sugar cravings Kind of sounds like all of us, doesn’t it? The truth is, gut bacteria imbalances are common. Two rounds of antibiotics in your life, certain medications (like birth control), and/or a diet that contains refined sugar and flour is all you need.
4 easy steps to rebalance your gut bacteria 1. Kill off the yeast, the “bad guys”. For 2-4 weeks, use
an anti-microbial like oregano oil, colloidal silver, or raw garlic.
2. Seed your gut with great bacteria. Adding lots of good quality
bacteria to your gut will help to grow a great new colony. Flora’s Super 8 Plus Probiotic is specifically formulated to help with gut bacteria imbalances, including yeast.
3. Feed your gut bacteria with plant-based fibre. The #1 best
way to create a strong and balanced ecosystem in your gut is to feed it with a variety of plant-based fibres from fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and beans.
4. Kick it up a notch with fermented foods. These are like a magic fertilizer for your gut bacteria. 1 tbsp. of unpasteurized sauerkraut, 1 cup of organic kefir, or a scoop of fermented greens powder is all you need!
