There’s a system in your body that’s cleaning you up around the clock . . . and it’s doing it without the one thing your blood has to keep things moving.

Which means it’s counting on you. And most of us have no idea how much we’re helping it, or not helping it, every single day.

So today, we’re breaking down the lymphatic system, why it can get stagnant without you noticing, and what you can do about it before cold and flu season hits.

We’re covering:

• What your lymphatic system actually does, and why it matters so much heading into winter
• The muscle nicknamed your “second heart,” and how to use it to get your lymph moving
• 7 simple ways to support your lymph, including a few that cost literally nothing and take less time than boiling a kettle
• Why the way you breathe could be helping, or quietly working against, your lymphatic system
• The personal stuff: what Kyle actually uses and loves (a vibration plate, dry brushing, and a health food store favourite he’s relied on for years)
• Today’s feelgood thing

High protein. Stevia-sweetened. No added sugar. All natural. Food labels are everywhere, but do they actually mean what we think they mean?

In this episode of feelgoodery, Kyle decodes the most common food label claims in Canada, explains the “health halo” effect that tricks all of us, and covers what to watch for (and what not to stress too much about) next time you’re in the grocery store.

In this episode:

• What “high protein” really means in Canada (the protein rating system), and why high protein doesn’t mean low sugar
• Why “stevia-sweetened” products are allowed to contain other types of sweetens - and which type are used, and which are the biggest bloat offenders
• Egg labels decoded: conventional, enriched colony, free run, free range, organic and omega-3, and what they actually say about how hens live
• Why “no added sugar” isn’t the same as low sugar, and the one word that means no sweeteners at all
• Why gluten-free can be harder on your blood sugar, and the hidden corn issue
• What “all natural” actually means according to the CFIA
• Why “light” olive oil isn’t lower in calories
• “Product of Canada” vs. “Made in Canada”: which one supports Canadian farmers
• Canada’s new front-of-package “High in” nutrition symbol, and a quick system for reading any label
• Kyle’s beet, lemon and ginger reset drink

We know oral health matters, but most of us don’t give it the respect it deserves . . today might change that.

Because on this episode of feelgoodery, Kyle sits down with Dr. James Goolnik, one of the world’s leading holistic dentists, to talk about what your mouth can reveal about the rest of your body, why some early cavities don’t have to end with a drill.

PLUS - which popular oral care trends are actually worth it (and which are marketing BS).

In this episode:

• What holistic dentistry is, and how it differs from regular dentistry
• Why Dr. James says your dentist can spot signs of over 57 health conditions in the mouth - and how he’s spotted pregnancies before his patients knew
• How stress and poor sleep show up in your mouth (clenching, grinding, and the signs you can check yourself when you wake up)
• Sleep apnea warning signs, and why to check your overnight oxygen on your wearable
• How early tooth decay can be reversed - and why snacking frequency matters as much as sugar
• Can you rebuild enamel? Hydroxyapatite toothpaste, nano vs. micro, and why you shouldn’t rinse after brushing
• Is sparkling water bad for your teeth?
• Receding gums, CoQ10, and whether red light devices for the mouth actually work
• How to choose a toothpaste: abrasiveness (RDA), whitening, charcoal, fluoride and hydroxyapatite
• Should you wait 30 minutes to brush after eating?
• Rapid fire: charcoal toothpaste, oil pulling, mouth taping and tongue scraping (and why he says to scrape before bed)
• The one small change that can make the biggest difference to your oral health
• Today’s feelgood thing
