In this episode, I talk with Tony about how to boost your immunity! We felt it was particularly important to talk about this time of year due to the fact that sickness seems to dominate in the colder months. I share some tips and strategies to boost your immunity and decrease your chance of sickness year round. We both share that by incorporating The Beauty Detox principles that we have not gotten sick in years...
Next, my very special guests are the Founders of Pitaya Plus, Chuck Casano and Ben Hiddlestone. They share the rich history of the pitaya fruit (aka Dragon Fruit). I have talked about the benefits of pitaya for years and include this superfood in some of my smoothie creations and at Glow Bio! Chuck and Ben talk about sourcing pitaya in Niragua and what inspired them about this super food.

About Chuck Casano
A native to Long Island, New York, Chuck Casano completed his Bachelor’s degree at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, with a double major in communications and Spanish. He implemented the latter earning his MBA at IE business school in Madrid, and subsequently working for an NGO in Nicaragua, where he fatefully discovered the Pitaya fruit. Sensing opportunity, Chuck founded Pitaya Plus with co-founder Ben Hiddlestone as a conduit to bring a healthy, wholesome product to the United States and fill a niche within the burgeoning health food market.
Beyond this, Chuck saw an opportunity to create a sustainable business benefiting the supply chain, from farmer to consumer. By opening the U.S. market to local farmers in Nicaragua and worked to create jobs and teach sustainable farming practices in the developing country. Chuck’s passion for Pitaya goes beyond the fruit itself, giving him a venue in which to make a positive impact on the communities, and further develop the local community relationships he’s cultivated.
About Ben Hiddlestone
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Ben Hiddlestone completed his Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design at Newcastle University in Australia. He first discovered the pitaya fruit on a road trip from San Francisco to Panama in 2005, and in 2009, was re-introduced to the fruit by long-time friend Chuck Casano.
The development of their company has given Ben the opportunity to produce something that is both sustainable for consumers, but also healthy, organic, and non-GMO verified with a single ingredient. Beyond the company’s Western influence. They have created opportunities to give back to developing countries’ local communities, stimulating their economies with job creation and community re-building.
