49. Eddie Lee and April Cockshutt on The Healing Power of Zen & Tonic

April Cockshutt and Eddie Lee met at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University while April was pursuing a degree in International Business and Marketing and Eddie was pursuing a degree in Kinesiology. When April started to experience digestive issues and wasn’t seeing any improvements in her health following the advice of Western medicine, Eddie introduced her to someone in his family who practiced traditional Chinese medicine; April quickly started to feel better and that’s when she realized her true calling. At first April was working part-time practicing herbal medicine, but Eddie convinced her to pursue her passion and leave the corporate world and Zen and Tonic was born. By combining Eddie’s practice of both western and eastern modalities and April’s practice as a clinical herbalist and Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP), the two have found the perfect blend to to guide their clients toward health and provide their clients with the tools and education needed to heal their underlying issues in order to lead a life full of energy, vitality and positivity for year to come.

We are a running podcast, so we also discuss the success both April and Eddie have seen in multiple sports and how their clinic helps runners stay healthy and perform at their best!
