Bread has been a comfort food and a dietary staple to many for thousands of years. I can’t imagine a life without grilled cheese sandwiches, pumpkin pie, blueberry muffins, French toast or even Éclairs. Yet more than 333, 000 Canadians battle Celiac disease. This doesn’t just mean discomfort after eating gluten. Celiac disease is also linked to anemia, joint pain, osteoporosis, ADHD, damage to dental enamel and, and, and... Enter Origin Bakery – Victoria’s first 100% gluten-free bakery. Co-owner Tara Black believes just because you can’t eat wheat shouldn’t mean you can’t enjoy all those wheat-type foods. Like Sourdough bread, biscotti, butter tarts...and yes, even Eclairs. They’re so invested in serving their gluten-free customers, they even came up with a custom-made loaf for a family whose daughter had Celiac disease. Six years later, that family still buys their daughter’s bread from Tara and the chefs at Origin Bakery. Also on the show, we meet Yarrow Willard, co-owner and certified herbalist at Harmonic Arts. There, they dispense over a thousand herbs and herb products in the interest of natural healing through plant medicine. What if you could put that prescription down and find remedies in the forest instead? That’s what Yarrow and his wife, Angela, have dedicated their lives to exploring, researching and living by. Yarrow explains natural remedies for fatigue, joint paint, depression and even menopause. When asked if his customers see results, he said they don’t realize how good they’ve been feeling until they stop taking their herbs.
