    Hi. I am dairy free. I make a fermented cashew cheese/ yogurt. I assume it is low carb. On occasion I eat vegan sliced hard cheese( like American cheese). It is processed, is it ok to eat this?

    Yes, Thank you Dr Axe. I have to try more wild-caught salmon.Maybe it’s caught mostly from Norway, I think.

    Hello,

    I stumbled across your website while scouring the internet for natural health and fitness tips and ideas. While reading through your website I became very interested and wanted to try your “Green Supefood” supplement. The problem is I live in Canada and there is shipping option for Canada. Is there a retailer in Canada that sells your product or is there another way around it. Please let me know.

    Thank you,
    Jason Gomes
