Nadie's favorite

A health advisor at our Aylmer branch, Nadie joined the store 6 years ago, under the former management of Sol Épicerie Santé. Passionate about nature, medicinal plants and ecology, her energy and good humor are infectious. Today, she presents her favorite combination of two products: EstroSense and Bourse à pasteur tincture.

Why EstroSense and Bourse à pasteur?

They saved my life! In addition to being celiac, I suffered from severe anemia and heavy periods. I had iron prescriptions, but my body was having trouble assimilating it... Taking the Shepherd's Purse tincture and EstroSense together helped solve my health problems at source.

Can you tell us more about the characteristics of these products?

Shepherd's purse is an astringent to be taken during menstruation. This tincture enabled me to reduce heavy bleeding by at least two-thirds.

EstroSense, on the other hand, is a formula based on plant extracts that helps maintain hormonal balance, removes any harmful estrogen and also detoxifies the liver.

What advice would you give to people interested in these two products?

For EstroSense, you can start with 1 or 2 capsules a day and then gradually increase the dosage. As for the Bourse à pasteur tincture, always take it with the bottom of a glass of water, and keep it in the mouth for one minute before swallowing.

(If you'd like to be sure that these products are useful in your situation, or if you're familiar with any of the above symptoms, don't hesitate to talk to our health advisors for further recommendations).

Let's talk about diet. Do you have a favorite meal of the day?

The breakfastwithout hesitation! A little olive oil, some pumpkin or sunflower seeds, lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs from the garden that I have on hand, for example tomatoes, chives... I crack my eggs on top and it starts my day off perfectly!

What does healthy eating mean to you?

Fresh, unprocessed food, ideally local and organic. I buy mainly in bulk, drink lots of herbal teas, and eat plants, seeds, nuts, fruit and vegetables - in short, anything natural!

And I always try not to waste anything, to reuse all leftovers, that's a watchword for me.

Tell us about your healthy habits. Do you have any to share?

Doing things you enjoy, and doing everything to avoid stress! I ride my bike as much as possible, I do yoga, I enjoy nature...

And I spend time with my friends. Lately, it's become a ritual: one friend at a time for several hours over a cappuccino! These are great moments, and they're good for you!
