  • Eat To Heal Review

    I look forward to Sara Jane’s new episodes each week and the latest one with Serena Poon was no disappointment! I enjoyed hearing her personal story about her parents and how that led her to taking initiative to better her health from the inside out. For the past couple years I have made it a point to shop at local farmers markets and increase variation in my meals and this episode confirmed I’m on the right path towards living well. Thanks for your insight and expertise!

  • Disappointed

    For someone who has chosen to consume audio content from a podcast, don’t keep telling your listeners “you should be watching on YouTube”. If you wanted to have a YouTube channel, then do that. But don’t start an audio platform then choose topics that require a visual. You have lost a subscriber.

  • Please drop the vigana...

    Mostly OK podcast, and then we hear the vigana bla bla...odours... its sooooo... offputing.

    I will never recomend this podcast to a frend even with a great guest because of the uncouth advertisment...

    You need to separate your own personal product not sutable for a podcast promotion from what is can be a good podcast. Or use anothet way of exprecising it. like a personal hygine products.
