Kent MacLeod, Clinical Pharmacist

Pre-recorded interview coming tomorrow!

Kent MacLeod and Dr. Erica Peirson discuss the use of critical thinking, research and general philosophies about how to best optimize the health of those with Down syndrome.

You might be surprised to hear how much they actually agree.

Amongst other things, last week Kent MacLeod, Clinical Pharmacistjoined Lianne Laing as a guest on her Living Life w Lianne Laing Podcast! And now Episode 128: Biology Of The Brain- Your "Gut" Controls Your Health - is now LIVE!

You can listen to this podcast (and her other 127 episodes!) on www.liannelaing.com/podcast, as well as Spotify, Apple / iTunes, and Omny.

Kent, the founder and CEO of Nutrichem Compounding Pharmacy and Clinic is an international thought leader and award-winning pharmacist. He has over 35 years of clinical experience delivering patient-centered health care and is globally recognized as a hormone health and nutrition expert. He lectures on the guts microbiome, hormones, mental health, Down Syndrome, paediatrics, pain management, as well as pharmacology.

In The Biology of the Brain, Kent breaks down why modern medicine is killing people instead of healing them. Instead of leaving the problem as it stands, he provides clear, actionable steps to not only heal your microbiome, but to restore your brain health and get your life back. And we aren’t talking about a bloated stomach or stomach pains, the microbiome affects every single aspect of our health (from disease, to chronic inflammation and obesity) and especially our mental health (from depression to anxiety, stress management, and sleep disorders.

Be sure to give it a listen and let us know what your favourite part was!

Adam helps to guide appropriate patients away from harmful drugs such as proton pump inhibitors, benzodiazepines, and sleeping pills through NutriChem’s deprescribing program.

Introducing you to Jana Webb!

Jana Webb is a lifelong athlete with 15+ years experience as a movement and innovator and fitness expert, TEDtalk Presenter, and creator of the popular athletic activity - ! Jana has a very special of her own.

Jana has made it her mission to share her inimitable perspective of fitness and health with the world. The creation of Jana Webb's brainchild JOGA was a fortuitous occurrence born out of a seemingly unfortunate event. Before this chapter of her life, Jana was a successful Television host and Advertising Executive, but it wasn’t until a serious car accident that inflicted some physical ailments that her acting coach suggested she try Yoga breathing techniques as a rehabilitative practice. Low and behold, a Yogi was born, but not the traditional kind; having always been somewhat of a ‘jock’ Jana was able to morph her Ishta Yoga training from Japan in such a fashion that complimented her competitive athletic nature. In 2010, JOGA: a unique blend of postures and breathing techniques was born.

So excited to have you involved, Jana!

You can catch Jana, along with our other special celebrity guests on May 7th at our Biology of the Brain virtual book launch! bit.ly/biologyofthebrain to RSVP.

Introducing you to another special celebrity appearance to expect at this Thursday's virtual book launch party - Tony Greco TG! Looking forward to having you join us, Tony!

Introducing you to one of our celebrity guests that I'm so looking forward to have involved in the virtual book launch of Biology of the Brain - Tina Corriveau Blackwell

Tina first came to me over 20 years ago as a last resort effort to regain some semblance of her life back. When I say “came to me” I mean her mother facilitated the entire meeting and Tina and I had a consult over the phone. Tina was so sick she couldn’t move from her bed let alone make her way into our clinic.

She was utterly and completely depleted. Her chronic excruciating pain from an automobile accident years prior were debilitating. Her health practitioners had been so focused on treatment of pain no one was looking at her gut health, her nutrition, her hormones. Slowly but surely she regained her strength and vitality.

The inspiring details are all in her memoir.

Tina Blackwell is a published author, international speaker and spiritual teacher. She uses her extreme experiences to help others get through their journey back to health; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Her courageous battle led her to NutriChem - and myself. Tina is an inspiration to anyone who meets her. Her entire story can be found in her memoir - Signposts: Hell, Heaven and Here.

I'm excited to announce that I and Lianne Laing are filming a podcast today! And it will be launching on her channel ( or www.liannelaing.com) on May 7th (same day as the book launch!) I will share it here for you once it is available. Very excited for you to give it a listen!

It may not be Thursday, but here is a throwback to 2018 when I came on as a guest to Lianne Laing's podcast where we talked about PPI's and what's in your medicine cabinet? Listen now!

You will be able to catch Lianne this Thursday at the Biology of the Brain virtual book party launch - she is joining us as our special host, and will be interviewing myself and my special celebrity guests! Looking forward to it.

If you haven't already, be sure to RSVP at bit.ly/biologyofthebrain

How I designed one of the first probiotics in Canada, 30 years ago probiotics were not used.

30 years ago probiotics were not used .. #CoffeewithKent

The following is an excerpt from the foreword of Biology of the Brain, written by Suzanne Somers who in this part of the foreword explains her experience with GI issues.

"For me, It all started with a misdiagnosis, a nightmare so
terrifying I have written about in two of my books. I was given 24-hour IV antibiotics for six days straight, night and day, medicine pouring into my veins for an infection I didn’t have.

Little did I know this antibiotic invasion of my body would upset the microbiome in my GI tract for years to come and it’s never been right since. In fact, at that time, I didn’t even know what a microbiome was let alone try to fix it. I had no idea of gut balance and that gut balance was the right ratio of good bacteria to bad bacteria, yet here I was taking IV antibiotics that were taking away all balance. How was that going to make me healthy? I had no idea that the gut and the brain were so intertwined, so interconnected.

Neither did any of my doctors. No one told me that antibiotics “take away’ (anti) and probiotics (pro) put back. Just that knowledge could have helped me avoid years of discomfort and unexplained weight gain. Simple probiotic replacement would have helped me rebalance.

There wasn’t a definitive instructive book. Until this one."

I hope to see you during the virtual book party on May 7th. bit.ly/biologyofthebrain
