Spring Sale at Village Green until April 30
by Paula Gallagher | April 11, 2012
Village Green Apothecary is having a big sale on major brands. Pathway products are 30% off and the following brands are 25% off: Metagenics, Xymogen, Nordic Naturals, Thorne, Megafood, Enzymatic Therapy, Jarrow, Garden of Life and Boiron (some exceptions apply).
So now is the time to stock up on favorites.
For me, Pathway Allergy Support Plus (which I talked about a couple of days ago here), is a must have, especially this time of year.
And for those who need to take iron but fear its side-effects (like constipation), Megafood’s Blood Builder is an iron supplement made from food, that is easy on the digestive tract and contains synergistic nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin B12 to enhance its absorption.
The sale goes on until April 30. Happy shopping!
Sunday Radio Show: Anti-Aging & Telomeres
by Village Green Admin | April 8, 2012
Join us this Sunday morning as our host Dr. Kevin Passero and his special guest Dr. William Andrews discuss the anti-aging potential of telomere biology.
William H. Andrews, Ph.D., has worked in the biotech industry for 30 years, focusing the last 18 years on finding ways to extend human lifespan through work with lengthening telomeres, which are genetic structures found at the ends of our chromosomes. Short telomeres have been associated with the aging process, and preserving or lengthening telomeres is thought to be one way we might reach for “the fountain of youth.” Dr. Andrews is presently the founder, President and CEO of Sierra Sciences, a biotech company focused exclusively on developing pharmaceuticals that will induce the production of telomerase (the enzyme that re-lengthens telomeres) in all our cells.
Tune in this Sunday from 10-11am on 1500 AM (WFED) or listen live on the web. Our shows are streamed everywhere.
Last week’s show was on “Solving the Belly Blues” – applying the principles of functional medicine to the treatment of digestive issues. Click to listen.
