Acid – Alkaline Balance for a Healthy Body

Hi everyone, it’s podcast host, Marissa here!


On this episode, we are welcoming back Cyrus Kuhzarani from Pure Labs Vitamins. Cyrus joined us in the past to share about the rising concerns of cardiovascular disease in women and Seasonal Affective Disorder. In case you missed those episodes, listen to them here.


On today’s episode we are talking about the importance of pH balance. Typically when we hear the term pH balance, we think about chemistry class or about water, like drinking water, pools, or hot tubs. This is accurate, but there is a lot to be talked about in regards to pH balance in the body which is why we have asked Cyrus to join us again and share his knowledge on alkalinity.


In this episode you, we are covering the following topics:

11:58 – Q: When is the best time to test your pH level? 


13:05 – Q: What does the results of your pH mean?


14:48 – Q: How does someone become more alkaline? NEED TO KNOW: The number 1 acidifier


19:31 – Q: What is the top supplement to support alkalinity?

The start of a new year can come with a lot of pressure to reset, overhaul, and become a 'better' version of yourself overnight. Traditional New Years' resolutions can feel motivating at first, but can quickly become overwhelming and restricting. Did you know that 88% of people fail their resolution within the first 2 weeks? It makes us wonder why. And we think that it's because they are rooted in an all-or-nothing mindset that doesn't leave room for life's unpredictability. And our resolutions are often things we think we SHOULD do (because of pressure from others, societal standards, etc.) and not things that we actually VALUE. It’s important to ensure you are enhancing your wellness in harmony with your surroundings and your reality. At Jo Anne's Place, we believe the new year is less about drastic change and more about gentle intention. A holistic approach to the new year invited you to build healthy habits that support your body, mind, and lifestyle at a pace that feels sustainable for you. Rather than chasing resolutions, this is an opportunity to tune in, reflect, and choose practices that truly support your long-term wellbeing. If setting goals is your thing, we support that! Just remember to keep them realistic and grounded in your values. If setting resolutions isn't for you, here are some gentler ways to step into the new year:

Feeling the Holiday pressure? In the midst of Winter’s chill and the Holiday rush, your own well-being deserves space to breathe. The natural world around us is slowing down, so why shouldn’t we? Winter invites us to turn inward, and it is especially important to support your mental health during these longer, darker days. Did you know that we, as Canadians, are more prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder due to our northern latitude, which results in less sunlight during the winter? The Holiday season can be equal parts joyful and overwhelming. Schedules get busy, routines slip, and we're surrounded by comfort foods and sweet treats. Between gatherings, travel, and to-do lists, our well-being can take a back seat. Here are some simple tips to keep you grounded, nourished, and feeling your best throughout the season: *These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice.
