Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

We'll end the month drinking shots. Oh, yeah, we are. Hi, Lynn.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Hello.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

I remind you that you are a naturopath at La Boite à Grains, but not alcohol shots.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

No, no, no, no, no.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

So I guess one of the shots is going to be ginger.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

That's right.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

What exactly are wellness shots? It's a real development at the moment, they're everywhere.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes, yes, it's gaining a lot of popularity. Then what I brought you today, in fact, comes from the Greenhouse company. They produce shots in a 60 ml format with different compounds that target different benefits. So different benefits, so energy, immunity, detox, and so on. And all their ingredients are really special. All their ingredients are 100% organic.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Okay? Yes, it's a big portion. Do we drink it straight up? Yes. Or we can dilute it. Which is better?

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

In fact, there are two. So we're going to talk about the Fiery Ginger shot. So it's really ginger when you're not used to consuming ginger. Yes, I can suggest diluting it. The equivalent of about a quarter of a cup there so go ahead and take a shot of this it's strong.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Well, that's amazing. You could say that. Yeah, it's vinegarier than I thought.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Because it's fermented.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

That's it, that's it. There's a bit of a kimchi feel to it.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Because it's fermented, then there's orange in it. There's turmeric, obviously pepper extract and then there's fiber. There's citrus in it. It's all organic.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

But it's good. I just wasn't expecting it.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

That's surprising. I admit it.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

And that's for the immune system.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

This is the beginning of the flu, when you start to feel a little something coming on. I suggest taking a shot directly or diluting it in water, and even taking maybe two a day. That'll clear it up pretty quickly.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

I'll save the other sip for tomorrow.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Half. Fill the rest with water.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

I loved it. I loved it for real. You're Mrs. Ginger. Why is that?

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Because I really, really, really like it. Then sometimes, just after I've eaten, if I've had a big rest, a dirty meal will help stimulate the production of digestive enzymes. So that means all the food will break down more easily in the stomach. It empties faster. So there's no heaviness after the meal.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Or I can tell you that when I have the beginnings of a heart attack, ginger is like a miracle in the background.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

But I love it for that, because I often have people tell me in winter Lynn, I'm cold, I'm cold from morning to night. And I tell them, listen, when you take ginger, it activates all your circulation, and then it warms you up. You can find yourself walking around outside in a little sweater instead of a big coat. Yes, yes, it works pretty quickly. And I often tell my customers to be careful too, not at the end of the day, because you could end up being warm all night when you sleep. And indeed, yes, that's what happens.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Yes. So in the morning, when you get up, when you're cold, it goes away.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

During the day, in the afternoon or whatever, because yes, it will actually warm up the body because it activates the circulation very, very much.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

You brought another one called the Pick Me Up.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Pick Me Up is the one that contains yerba mate, which is a traditional South American tea known for its energizing and antioxidant benefits. So it's made with yerba mate. Then there's apple, lime, a little hibiscus and green tea. There are lots of good compounds like that. Still 100% organic, we agree.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

It smells of fruit. I'll try it. The air is much sweeter.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

It's very soft. He's really, really good. And he'll boost your energy. Yes. And when it boosts your energy, it prevents you from having coffee crashes. And it'll improve your concentration. Okay, uh, then you don't have the palpitation and nervousness that you get when you drink coffee because it's not caffeine, it's mate.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

I didn't know that.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes, no, no, it's worth discovering. It's rich in antioxidants, and it'll also help your digestion. Okay, to do all the digesting of all the foods you can eat that have even the slightest bit of fat in them.

I find it has a very mild taste. You can drink it on its own, without having to mix it. Then there's a taste, a much sweeter taste than green tea.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

So these shots here Lynn, we take one or two a day. How do you buy it? How does it work?

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

À La Boite à Grains we've got the bigger boxes if you like, or the bigger contents for the ginger shots, and then the smaller contents, it's just little one-off shots like this that we've got for the Pick Me Up.
