Kardish at Merivale and Meadowlands in Ottawa, ON |
After attending my very favourite yoga class today (Tara's Friday YinYang at Rama Lotus), I had the great pleasure of introducing my friend, Dana, to the best healthy food store in Ottawa: Kardish. I'm a regular at my neighbourhood branch -- 20 minutes west -- and it was a treat to learn that this one was a mere four minute walk from Dana's house! She's hooked! :)
Every single time I walk into a place like this, I flash back to my San Francisco years when I first worked in Goodson's Health Food Store just a few blocks from UC campus, and then grew, produced and delivered wheat grass juice to a dozen stores in Berkeley and Oakland. 'Twas a great way to put myself through massage school. That time also instilled in me a huge respect for alternative medicine, as well as the simple wisdom of keeping life as healthy and close to nature as possible. I am so grateful that stores like this, farmers' markets, and organic foods are becoming part of more people's everyday lives.
Need a snack? If you haven't yet, give this a try: skip the Doritos and Diet Coke, and pop into your local health food store. Grab a bag of organic sesame sticks and a bottle of Alo Awaken and call me when you've touched back down. I'm excited to hear what you think!

I love Kardish. I go to the one in Bell's Corner during my lunch break. I grab the taster item of the day to munch on while I browse and money permitting buy whatever I am out of or read in a natural magazine and it seems to calm me. Just being there helps me get through the rest of the day!

P,
Do I have to order blue green algae caps online? Or does Kardish carry them? Is there a specific brand I should be on the lookout for?
Thanks

Hey Vickie, I order online at SimplexityHealth.com (Talk w/me about how to become a preferred customer and pay less than retail.)
Simplexity is the only company I trust for constant quality control. Toxic algae blooms DO happen, and this company has documented third party testing.
Kardish probably has Spirulina, which is a type of blue-green algae, and which I took for awhile in my early 20's; however, this strain (AFA) works SO much better for me.
Don't forget about Henry Rodine, who introduced us to the health and antibiotic properties of honey; joint health-promoting properties of beets; and therapeutic properties of reflexology!
