Irene Chandroski, a Toronto resident and retired teacher, shares her inspiring story of recovery and renewal through natural health. After years of struggling with arthritis, low energy, and mobility challenges that left her dependent on medication and unable to enjoy daily activities, Irene began exploring natural remedies. She was introduced to herbal blends, dietary changes, and targeted supplements that gradually restored her strength, reduced pain, and reignited her enthusiasm for life.

In this interview, Irene reflects on the profound difference natural health products made in her ability to function and stay active in her later years. She expresses gratitude for the community that helped her learn about alternative approaches and warns that Health Canada’s proposed restrictions could strip others of the same opportunities she had to heal naturally. Irene’s story is a heartfelt reminder that for many Canadians, access to natural products isn’t a lifestyle choice—it’s a lifeline.
