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.
