The Story Behind the Headlines: Lisa Learning Like You’ve Never Heard Her

You may know Lisa Learning as the founder of PureGard, the Nova Scotia company taking on ticks with natural science. She has been featured in the news many times for her products, her research, and her business.

But there is a story behind the headlines that has never been told.

Before the company, before the science, there was a mother watching her 11-year-old son unable to get off the couch. There was an emergency room doctor who rolled his eyes at her. There was a kitchen counter, a set of measuring cups, and a knock at the door from Health Canada.

In an exclusive interview with Win the Day, Lisa opens up about her Labrador roots, the fight for her sons’ health, years of rejection, and the one rule that kept her going: give yourself two days to cry, then make a plan.
