Hello, 7 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.960 and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific 8 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:48.520 director at Invite Health. Hopefully everyone's Saturday morning is off to a pleasant start. 9 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:55.320 Mine certainly is. I have a little tiny woodpecker that has taken up 10 00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.159 shelter in a tree in my backyard, and he's so cute. I know 11 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.439 it's a boy because I looked up the information. I really enjoy trying to 12 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.120 understand more about birds because I have so many different varieties that hang out in 13 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.840 my backyard. So but it's real tiny, and it's just it's learning. 14 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.560 It's uh, I guess what woodpeckers do, and so I I was doing 15 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:26.040 that this morning before jumping on the air here and of course watching my tiny 16 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.280 cat watch the bird but she cannot get to it. So that that is 17 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.719 a peace of mind that I have moving forward into this show. I don't 18 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.879 have to worry about worry about the bird in the backyard. Today is International 19 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.760 Rock Day. I just wanted to mention that I like to talk about, 20 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:51.439 you know, different topics that are sometimes off uh, the health related and 21 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.480 wellness that I go into on each show. But today's International Rock Day, 22 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.319 and not rock and roll music, but understanding rocks. And the reason why 23 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.319 I just mentioned this is because this is just a common topic that comes up 24 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:15.000 in my household. My husband absolutely loves rocks. It has become a joke 25 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.719 in the family. But his love of rocks I think started probably at a 26 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.960 very young age. But he collects rocks wherever we go and so and he 27 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.000 knows where they're at because then he puts them like out in our backyard and 28 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.599 he'll say, oh, yeah, this rock over here, this was from 29 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.439 you know, Pataski, Michigan, and so, and he knows kind of 30 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.800 the history of the rocks and all of that. And he took a geology 31 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.439 class in college, so he's very much into rocks, So in honor of 32 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.719 him, Happy International Rock Day. Go check out your rocks. We are 33 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.360 doing a lot of dry scaping in our yard because being down here in South 34 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.479 Florida, it's so difficult, you know, when you start to try and 35 00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.439 have grass in your yard and it's just the cost with and just then you 36 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.360 get the bugs, you know, and you get the grubs that come through. 37 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.879 So we don't want to be using pesticides because we have pets and so 38 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:14.520 so we do a lot of dry scaping and rocks seem to be the theme 39 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.800 that we go with. So International Rock Day Now today's show, I want 40 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.280 to zero in on a topic. I had someone who reached out to me 41 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:30.560 and was asking some questions about Candida and Candida overgrowth and this is such a 42 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.039 common problem that so many individuals, maybe even unbeknownst to them, are dealing 43 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.439 with, and so I thought it would be wise to go into more detail 44 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.759 on this. When people hear about, you know, fungal infections, sometimes 45 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.360 you think about the worst case scenario. Systemic fungal infection that you know takes 46 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.840 over the entire body and you know can be incredibly serious and even deadly, 47 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.599 and you know, can travel into the brain, very very scary stuff. 48 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.919 But then there's you know, the more mild form. Not that it's you 49 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.120 know, not a problem for you, because it certainly is. But when 50 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.919 we look at candida and understanding that candida is naturally occurring in the body, 51 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.160 but the problem is when our system gets kind of out of balance, and 52 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:26.079 when that happens and we start to get this slow grow of the candida and 53 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.079 it can start to take over. Oftentimes, people are thinking on two different 54 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:36.040 fronts when it comes to candida or yeast overgrowth. One is the very deadly, 55 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.360 scary, systemic infections, and that's what most doctors. Unfortunately, they 56 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.120 only think about that. They think of the worst case scenario, or they 57 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.199 think about vaginal yeast infections. And so you have a lot of men out 58 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.160 there that go, eh, you know, what is candida? Means nothing 59 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.000 to me because I'm a male, so I don't have to deal with this. 60 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.480 I mean women, on the other hand, you know, it's estimated 61 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:05.759 seventy five percent of American women will have a yeast infection at some point in 62 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.680 time in their life. And unfortunately, for many women, this can be 63 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:17.879 a recurrent problem that exists and it usually falls into that cycle of chronic UTIs 64 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:25.399 then with the comorbid fun of a yeast infection. Because you get a UTI, 65 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.959 you go to your doctor, they give you an antibiotic. It disrupts 66 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:35.800 the normal microbiome environment and this kind of leaves the door open for candida to 67 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:43.319 start to overgrow. And this can be incredibly problematic for any woman who has 68 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.600 dealt with chronic YaST infections. So then you're going back to your doctrine saying, 69 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.800 okay, now I need the medicine for the fungal infection, and then 70 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.720 next thing you know, the UTI comes back. So this is something that 71 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:02.680 we have much more control over. But fortunately, because it's not mainstream medicine, 72 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:11.480 oftentimes doctors just get people onto this this vicious cycle of antibiotic therapy and 73 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.639 then taking antifungal therapy and going back and forth between the two. Now, 74 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.920 for men, you may be sitting here going once again, this doesn't matter 75 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:26.040 to me. I'm not, you know, privy or prone to having a 76 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.920 vaginal yeast infection. But do not fool yourself, because when we look at 77 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:38.199 candida overgrowth, we know that this affects millions of individuals. It's actually estimated 78 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.920 that one in three individuals suffer from yeast overgrowth. And when you look at 79 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.120 that and you say, okay, so if I have yeast overgrowth and I'm 80 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.920 a male, well, how would that necessarily present Well, we can look 81 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.759 at you know, the next case scenario, which would be oral thrush and 82 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.959 you know, having a candida overgrowth in the mouth. But we also realize 83 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.720 that that Candida overgrowth can create a lot of problems and havoc in the intestinal 84 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:13.879 environment, and so having you know, gas and bloating and just feeling lethargic. 85 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:19.680 This is a really common symptom that people will experience and they don't necessarily 86 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:28.279 tie that to having a candida overgrowth or any form of gut dyspiosis. So 87 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.600 if you feel like you have low energy, if you just feel like your 88 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.680 mood is off, I always say, you know, dig a little deeper 89 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:47.040 into that, because knowing the commonality or the epidemiology of Candida overgrowth, this 90 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:54.480 is something that many individuals deal with throughout their lives and it can be very 91 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:00.079 problematic. You know, muscle aches, fatigue, the mood swings, problems 92 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.360 with your sleep cycle, all of these different things, and maybe you go, 93 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.759 well, I have muscle ags because I, you know, went out 94 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.600 and I exercised a little bit. Maybe that's the reason, and that truly 95 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.279 could be, but it could be something else. It could be because you 96 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.160 have this candida overgrowth that is occurring. So trying to number one, find 97 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:28.879 a doctor that understands that this is so common and the symptoms can present in 98 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.519 a variety of different ways. It's not always as cut and dry as oh, 99 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.600 okay, it's a female presenting with a vaginal yeast infection. We have 100 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:46.679 to kind of broaden our look into candida and start to really analyze and say, 101 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.840 oh, okay, this is the reason why I feel the way that 102 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.159 I do now the positive to all of this in this kind of world of 103 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.279 you know, thinking of candida overgrowth, which gives people the creeps oftentimes, 104 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.720 but once again, this is something that's naturally occurring in the body. It's 105 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.840 just I always say, when we look at things in a very simplistic way 106 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.080 and we say, okay, well, what if I have too much of 107 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.759 something? Too much of something is not always a good thing. Having too 108 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.480 much money, oh, that's okay, But having too much candida, yeah, 109 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.960 maybe not so much. This is something that we are not seeking out 110 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.159 and then we can look at the other side of that coin and say, 111 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.000 well, what if we don't have enough of something? And so in this 112 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.039 perfect setting of candida overgrowth, this is what we're dealing with. We're dealing 113 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:48.480 with not enough healthy bacteria, not enough powerful antioxidants, not enough nutrients to 114 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.360 disrupt the candida overgrowth. And we are dealing with the other side of that, 115 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.720 which is the overgrowth of the actual candida. So what can we do 116 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.440 well, we know that just when it comes to diet alone, adherence to 117 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.440 a Mediterranean style way of eating is going to be our first place to start. 118 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.639 So avoidance of any of the the bad carbohydrates, so you know, 119 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.480 minimizing your exposure to those ye, the bad starches we all know what those 120 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.960 are, you know, minimizing your pasta intake, and minimizing having the you 121 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.720 know, pizza and all of those things. Okay, that's just a clear 122 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:39.360 first place to start. Avoiding all sugar sweetened beverages as well as artificially sweetened 123 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.759 beverages. Do not fool yourself once again and think, oh, because this 124 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.200 says it's zero calorie, it's somehow, you know, healthier for me. 125 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.600 It is not. And once you hear the word artificial sweetener, you should 126 00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.840 turn and run quickly because artificials shouldn't be going into our system. So that's 127 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.320 the first place that we should always think about. And then we want to 128 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.039 avoid other things that can create dyspiosis. So the artificial colors as an example, 129 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.039 we know that artificial colors that they pump into foods to market it to 130 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.679 us to make it more appealing, that actually creates a lot of dyspiosis in 131 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.480 the gut and can create leaky gut syndrome. And if we have an increase 132 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:35.159 in gut permeability, if we're having a loss of function within the intestinal aligning 133 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.120 that's brought on because we're drinking our you know, whatever drink that has red 134 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.440 number whatever in it and artificial sweeteners or regular sugars added into it. That's 135 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.919 a big problem. So we always want to start with the obvious, So 136 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.440 our foods are the obvious, and then we can dig a little deeper and 137 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.399 we can say, okay, well, what nutrients do we know that we 138 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:05.039 can be taking every day that can fast track us towards a healthier way to 139 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:13.279 control and regulate this candida that already is existing in the human body and both 140 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.879 men and women, and how do we regulate this? And so this is 141 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.840 where my fund gets to kick in because we have so many different formulations available 142 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.080 within our product line that are geared towards creating this balance, this homeostasis for 143 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.559 us. And in taking these different products, you can create an environment that 144 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.240 that candida can stay in check. So obvious place that we start is with 145 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:50.159 probiotic, and the probiotic for women is the number one probiotic that I turn 146 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.679 to in this scenario, whether you are a woman or a man, because 147 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.240 even though the product name is probiotic Women does not mean that men cannot take 148 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.320 it. And with that being said, this is actually a very very beneficial 149 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:15.080 probiotic for men, not only in that setting of candida overgrowth, but also 150 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:22.159 if you are dealing with conditions like prostatitis or a urinary tract infection as a 151 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:28.799 male and prostatitis inflammation which can be driven because of it infection in the prostate 152 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:35.360 gland. This is an area where once again the power and the benefit of 153 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:41.200 those healthy bacteria can start to create this balance once again. So I'm going 154 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.600 to talk about what's actually in that probiotic for women, and then I'm going 155 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.120 to talk about other nutrients that we can add in that we know do a 156 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.159 very effective job at poking holes in a sense into that Candida. Now what's 157 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.960 nice about all of these different formulations is that they have a multitude of different 158 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.120 benefits. So maybe you're listening and you say, you know what, Candida, 159 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.679 that's not my spectrum. This is not something that I'm dealing with. 160 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.320 This is not something I'm concerned with. But I am concerned about brain health. 161 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.120 I am concerned about, you know, having good mood, and I'm 162 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.360 concerned about my cardiovascular health, concerned about liver health. Then these products are 163 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.799 geared towards all of those different systems. So I'm going to get into the 164 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.840 details on that, but I'm looking at the clock. I do need to 165 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.200 squeeze in a quick break, so stick around with me. I am doctor 166 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.480 Amanda Williams, and I will be right back just after this.

So probiotic for 186 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:22.320 women. That's going to be the first little part to our Candida toolbox. 187 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:32.320 And what the probiotic for women contains is for very powerful and very important let 188 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:40.200 me mention strains of lacto bacilli. So when we're looking at the normal bacteria 189 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.559 that reside within the vaginal tract or the urinary tract, these are the most 190 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.919 common strains. And this is also true in men. So this is why 191 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.440 I say that this product, even though the name says women, men can 192 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.320 use this as well. Now this is partnered up with garlic and time, 193 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.480 and maybe you're thinking, okay, so we're in the kitchen now with garlic 194 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.960 and time, but hey, we know the power of both garlic and time 195 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:12.200 extract and remarkably, when formulating this particular product, this was one of the 196 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:19.480 things that I really wanted to zero in on because understanding that the rate in 197 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:27.279 which Candida overgrowth can occur, and the commonality of Candida overgrowth that can lead 198 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.720 to all of these weird symptoms that people can have, I wanted to make 199 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:40.440 a product that was incredibly comprehensive. So having that inclusion of the lacto Bacillus 200 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.720 rhamnosis, the Lactobacillus acidophilis. That was kind of in a sense of no 201 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.880 brainer because we know which strains of bacteria needed to be included into that product. 202 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.720 But it was adding in the garlic and the time. And this was 203 00:17:52.759 --> 00:18:00.480 all based off of scientific clinical research trials, and you could compare or the 204 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:08.440 therapeutic effect of garlic extract versus metronidazol. Metronidazol is the most common prescribed medication 205 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:17.200 when it comes to candida overgrowth and yeast infections, and so in one study 206 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:22.359 they actually were even looking at bacterial vaginosis to the overgrowth of bad bacteria as 207 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.279 well as looking at the overgrowth of candida leading to yeast infections. This was 208 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.119 a randomized controlled trial and they could see that having that garlic extract did a 209 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:40.680 wonderful job at lowering the total amount of that candida and at the same time 210 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:47.839 helping to encourage healthy normalization of the microbiome. So hence this is why the 211 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.000 garlic is in this Now for men, you get a secondary benefit of using 212 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.640 this product because we know garlic is very beneficial when it comes to the health 213 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:03.640 of the prostate gland. So you are supplementing with your probiotic for women, 214 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.519 and you're a man and you're saying, you know what, that's okay because 215 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.799 I know that this has these nutrients that are very very helpful for not only 216 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:18.599 my microbial environment, but for just the daily function of my prostate. And 217 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:25.599 we know that the garlic extract has a significant impact on the candida biofilms. 218 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:33.200 This is why candy to overgrowth is so problematic. If you have, you 219 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.759 know, the say, a yeast infection, then it's obvious that there's a 220 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:41.839 candid to overgrowth. But for many others who have these kind of vague symptoms 221 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.759 and kind of that muscle aches and just the generalized fatigue, just feeling just 222 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.160 kind of icky all the time and not really being able to pinpoint like why 223 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:57.200 is this happening? This is where that garlic can be so helpful. And 224 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.720 I actually have our aged garlic extract on special today as well, So you 225 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.279 can do the garlic extract just by itself, but you can also partner that 226 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.160 up in addition to taking the probiotic for women that contains that garlic and that 227 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:21.440 time but biofilms. It's a way in which these little pathogens create a protective 228 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:26.480 barrier for themselves, so they almost become hidden in a sense. Is how 229 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.880 you can kind of think about this. They are masking themselves from the immune 230 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.039 systems. So the immune system's going in and saying, hey, something's wrong 231 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.440 here, but we can't seem to find it. Well, it's because these 232 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:45.960 bacteria, viruses, parasites as well as fungus have this creative way to put 233 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:52.799 this barrier up, this biofilm. And this is why so many individuals can 234 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.119 have these strange, vague symptoms and you go in and you say, I'm 235 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.480 not sure what's going on with me, and you talk to your doctor and 236 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.480 they say, oh, well, you know, maybe you're just not getting 237 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:08.240 enough sleep. And doctors generally aren't thinking along this line. And we know 238 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.440 that garlic does a really great job. I always say it helps to kind 239 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:19.039 of create these little holes. It pokes holes into those biofilms so that that 240 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:23.640 candida or any other pathogen can be more exposed and the immune system can say, 241 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.599 oh, there you are. Now I can go in and we can 242 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.599 get rid of you. And so this is why taking garlic extract in that 243 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:38.640 setting of candida overgrowth very very beneficial. It's all based off of this the 244 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:45.079 science. Now, keep in mind that when we are looking at the way 245 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:52.119 in which you know, Candida overgrowth is occurring, you know what is the 246 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.240 driving force? And this is why it's important for men to walk away with 247 00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:00.039 this concept because clearly, with women we can recognize, Okay, if I 248 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.519 go on an antibiotic because I have you know, a sinus infection for example, 249 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:11.000 this can create a significant level of disruption which can then lead to a 250 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.039 yeast infection. But for men, you know, because you're not presenting with 251 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.400 a vational yeast infection. You know, how is it that I know that 252 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.480 maybe this is where the problem is. Well, once again, if you've 253 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:29.519 been on antibiotic therapy at any point throughout your life, you have to recognize 254 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.480 that gut dys biosis has just occurred. While on the positive, okay, 255 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.960 we get knocked out whatever the you know, initial infection was, But now 256 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:45.240 we've created potentially a secondary problem. And so we also know that we cannot 257 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:56.279 be oblivious to the fact that indoor air quality and indoor mold can also play 258 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:02.039 a role in the development and the exacerbation of can data overgrowth. So this 259 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:07.119 is very important. We're exposed to mold spores and oftentimes when people think about 260 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:10.559 mold sportes, you think, oh, outside, this is something I dealt 261 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.400 with in Michigan, you know, every fall, every spring, and when 262 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:21.759 the mold spores were higher, I was just a real mess. But we 263 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:27.240 also have to recognize that indoor air quality can have an impact on our immune 264 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.559 system. And when we have a higher exposure to mold spores in our own 265 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.920 homes or in the office that you live in or I'm working, then we 266 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:45.559 are now dealing with a very good likelihood that the immune system in a sense 267 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:52.720 becomes compromised and our body's ability to keep that candida, those levels that normal 268 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:59.799 levels of candida in check become very troubled. And so this is another reason 269 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.480 to think about this. You know, it's not only the diet, and 270 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.160 you know clearly keeping sugars low and the bad carbohydrates out, but we also 271 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.039 have to say, well, what else in my environment is potentially driving this. 272 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:17.519 You know, I personally have experience with this because many years ago, 273 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:22.359 before I was at Invite Health, I was in my own practice and in 274 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:32.079 my office there was a black mold issue and the building manager kept telling me, 275 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:33.920 you know, no, no, no, everything's fine. Everything's fine. 276 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.960 And I always noticed that my office had kind of just like an off 277 00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:47.039 smell to it. But the more I was in that office, the more 278 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:53.599 strange symptoms I was experiencing, and they started to become more and more pronounced. 279 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.599 And I would leave the office in the evening and I would be driving 280 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.200 home. I started to get like a rash, and I was like, 281 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.720 what is going on? You know, why am I having this sensitivity? 282 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.200 What is this coming from? And then that rash kind of like expanded and 283 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.559 it became more like hives, and I was like, okay, this is 284 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.680 very strange. You know, I'm playing detective on myself here, going what 285 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.240 in the world is going on? And then it became brain fog. And 286 00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:27.279 I would sit there and I would be working with clients and I was like, 287 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.720 I'm like a complete space cadet, Like I'm having a hard time following 288 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.160 them, and this is not me. I'm usually very sharp. What is 289 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.599 happening? And so I told them once a guy, I said, please 290 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:42.400 come into my office and just you know, check this out again. And 291 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:48.599 sure enough they went and they pulled back it had carpet in it. They 292 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.799 pulled back the carpet that was like in the underneath my desk in the corner 293 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:59.720 of my office and just loaded down with mold. So, needless to say, 294 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.400 I'm out of that office, and shortly after that I joined up with 295 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:11.279 Invite. But it was so disturbing to me because it didn't happen overnight. 296 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:18.279 It was this chronic exposure to these mold spores that actually led to a point 297 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.880 where not only was I foggy brained, I was getting hives, I was 298 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:29.359 itchy, but I also started to experience like just almost like a numbness. 299 00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.319 And I couldn't really explain it well to people. Say, you know, 300 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.200 my like my leg feels like almost numb in a way, and they're like, 301 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.079 what do you mean. I'm like, it's weird. It's not like 302 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.480 an injury in the sense like I worked out too hard and I'm sore, 303 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.599 I you know, pulled something. It's just like it's like a paristhesis. 304 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.839 It's very strange. And so come to find out it was all because of 305 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:59.079 mold. Now me thinking of you knowing I had a mold sensitivity just from 306 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:06.279 outdoor mold growing up in Michigan, but I never correlated that sick building syndrome. 307 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.759 So this is just something to always keep in mind because, like I 308 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.839 said, these symptoms can become very problematic, but they can also be kind 309 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.119 of vague and hard to pinpoint. So say if I would have just went 310 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:21.119 into one of the doctors at the office and said, Hey, this is 311 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:22.839 what I'm experiencing, they'd probably be like, oh, we don't know, 312 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:27.960 because they didn't. So it took me to put on my own investigative cap 313 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.759 to actually detect what was going on. But nonetheless I knew what I needed 314 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:40.039 to do. I knew that I needed to create an environment that made it 315 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:47.279 incredibly inhospitable for that mold to continue to raise HAVOC for me. And this 316 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.279 is where I turned to el car with Ala and I turned to the Greens 317 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:59.240 HX and resveratrol and making sure that I had my probiotic on board every single 318 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:03.240 day, because I recognize that through the power of these different nutrients, I 319 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:11.640 could start to gain control once again of my immune system and my inflammatory response. 320 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.519 So, speaking from personal experiences, this is why I always know I 321 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.359 can help you out.

Got International Rock Day today. Go out and 348 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.400 pick up some rocks and it is actually something It's like people who like to 349 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:38.680 go walk the beach and pick up shells. If you start to really analyze 350 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:44.079 rocks, it is actually quite interesting to think about the history of you know, 351 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.240 where did this rock come from? And you know, thinking of the 352 00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.039 life cycle of a rock and the turnover of thumb and so kind of impressive. 353 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.880 I mean, look at Stonehenge for example. Interesting. Now let's go 354 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:03.880 back to to the products that are on special for today, So the probiotic 355 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:10.680 for women, the aged garlic fibergummy. Folks, Why the fibergummy because anulin 356 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.640 the chicory root that we use in the fibergummy not only is beneficial for overall 357 00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.480 digestive health and for our immune system blood sugar control. Fiber is key to 358 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.920 that. We know that most Americans only get about five to ten grams of 359 00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:33.359 fiber per day. You're supposed to get thirty. So yeah, we're falling 360 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:38.559 way short on our fiber intake. Why standard American diet. If we have 361 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.759 a strong adherence to a Mediterranean diet, we're going to have a much greater 362 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:49.240 exposure to the high fiber foods coming from fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. 363 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:57.200 But because people are usually not adhering to a Mediterranean diet, adding in 364 00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:05.160 this fibergummy is a really great way for us to gain control once again of 365 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.640 our fiber intakes. So I always say, much of what goes on in 366 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:15.119 the human body, we have a say soul in The unfortunate thing is that 367 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.920 many folks just kind of turn a blind eye to it and just they wait 368 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.000 until something goes haywire and then they scramble and say, oh gosh, what's 369 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:29.200 what's happening. We can try to avoid, you know, these future debacles 370 00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:35.359 by doing the right things every day as far as lifestyle modifications. But University 371 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:42.160 of Michigan Go Blue brand new study just came out and it kind of ties 372 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:47.680 into the fiber gummy here, and they were talking about how they have identified 373 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:55.400 a potential new treatment for food allergies. Now this is important because how many 374 00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.839 individuals out there deal with not just the word of the worst of food allergies, 375 00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:07.599 but food sensitivities should be included into this because many folks are reactive to 376 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:15.119 particular foods or food groups and then you think of the worst case such as 377 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:21.519 like a nut allergy. But what they were looking at was inuline, and 378 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:27.960 they said, this naturally occurring plant fiber commonly used in dietary supplements. It 379 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.920 is a prebiotic, so it's a food source for our healthy bacteria in the 380 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:39.920 gut. And they said when looking at inulin coming from chicory root, and 381 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:49.319 this was published in the Nature Materials Journal, they started to detect that this 382 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:57.000 inulin could actually prevent severe allergic reactions. When they were doing these animal studies 383 00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:02.839 in common triggers such as peanuts and whites and milk, so different dairy allergies 384 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:08.880 included into this as well. And they said inuline is widely consumed dietary fiber, 385 00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:15.440 and they know that many places such as Invite Health use inulin as a 386 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:22.559 source for this prebiotic. So when you're looking at our different probiotic formulations, 387 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:28.960 they have that prebiotic inulin fructo aligosaccharide source and that same thing with our fiber 388 00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:36.920 gummy And the main point to this is that how it is that that fiber 389 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:45.599 is working within the intestinal microbiome and how it's helping the immune system have better 390 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:53.199 regulation of its responsiveness or reactiveness to any type of allergic trigger. So just 391 00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:57.599 a really fascinating study. So I just wanted to mention that study because it 392 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:04.119 just came out this week, and it's just a point to be made that 393 00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:09.039 if you know you do not eat a high amount of fruits and vegetables every 394 00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:14.559 single day, you should be eating at least one cup of fruits per day, 395 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.519 which is usually easier in the summertime. And we have to be honest, 396 00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:23.360 most people enjoy having a higher intake of fruits in the summer because they're 397 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:30.159 just easier to access. But vegetables, you should be having two to three 398 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:36.320 cups of vegetables per day. This is why we have this really alarming, 399 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.599 you know study that came out of University of North Carolina so many years ago 400 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:46.000 saying only twelve percent of Americans are considered to be metabolically healthy. So we 401 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:52.599 know when it comes to our diet, we just do just a horrible job. 402 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:57.679 And you know, fiber is so critical for blood sugar regulation, for 403 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:04.960 cholesterol trans port. So taking the fiber gummy that contains this chickory root in 404 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:09.320 this inulin is a very beneficial way for us to once again gain some control 405 00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:15.840 in our system and help with the microbiome and help with better balance of any 406 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:22.679 type of pathogenic overgrowth, whether that be bacteria or that be candida. So 407 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:29.519 I encourage you to check that particular product out. And it's such a clean 408 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:36.719 source and it's gelatine free, there's no artificial colors, which is really important. 409 00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.000 I'm going to talk about the artificial colors in the last segment, the 410 00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:45.599 damaging effects that that actually creates, so we definitely want to avoid that. 411 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:52.559 Now, let's think about what else we can be doing. Al car So 412 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.639 the l car with ala, which is a fan favorite at Invite Health, 413 00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:00.360 has been for so many years. You've heard Jerry Hickey talk at lengths about 414 00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:06.519 our l car with ala formulation. I have talked about the car. LCR 415 00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:13.800 is acetyl l carnatine. It is a acetylated form of the amino acid al 416 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:16.800 carnatine. We know it's very important for energy production. It helps to take 417 00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.119 your fatty acids that are lingering on the outside of your cell and it pushes 418 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:27.679 them to the inside of the cell so it can be made into energy. 419 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.679 That's really important. That's one of the main functions. But we also know 420 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:39.159 that acetyl al carnatine, because it is acetylated, it can cross easily into 421 00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:45.280 the brain, which is why it's so beneficial for cognition and for memory and 422 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:52.840 focus because it's energizing your neurons. But it also functions as an antioxidant, 423 00:37:53.000 --> 00:38:00.880 which makes it very beneficial for targeting pathogens, poking holes in that candy to 424 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:07.920 biofilm as an example, as well as alfalopoic acid, which is contained in 425 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:15.079 this product. So alkar with ala alfalopoic acid has its own kind of unique 426 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:20.000 history to it. You know. It's when you look at the human body 427 00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.559 and what we come into this world naturally equipped with. We come with our 428 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:30.880 own big, huge bin of antioxidants, and we come into this world with 429 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:37.880 coenzyme Q ten already existing in the body. Alfalapoic acid already existing in the 430 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:45.039 body. Alfalopolic acid's incredibly important because it helps to stabilize our other antioxidant levels. 431 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.519 So it helps to keep the body's co Q ten level up, It 432 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.400 helps to keep our vitamin C and our vitamin E levels up. But we 433 00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:58.800 know, as with everything in the body, when the body is under stress, 434 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:04.639 those natural antioxidant levels can start to plummet, and just through the aging 435 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:12.639 process, those levels can start to plummet. The history of alfa lapoec acid 436 00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:20.639 is quite fascinating. It was discovered back in the nineteen thirties, but then 437 00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:25.679 it really fast tracked in terms of like published research findings in the nineteen fifties 438 00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:35.239 by a fascinating biochemist down at the University of Texas in Austin and so so, 439 00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:38.239 doctor Reid is the one who's kind of credited as being kind of the 440 00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:42.679 father of alpha lapoe casid, not that he made it. He didn't, 441 00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.840 it's already in the body, but it's that discovery. So it's kind of 442 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:51.480 interesting because that's right around the same time that coenz ime q ten was discovered 443 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:53.440 and they said, what is this molecule? You know, what in the 444 00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:59.800 world is this and the same you know, time span in the fifties they 445 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:05.400 alfhalopoc acid. So really kind of interesting when you look at the history on 446 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:13.679 that. But one of the important takeaways with alfalopoc acid is to recognize that 447 00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:21.639 the alfalopoc acid really does a wonderful job when it comes to dealing with blood 448 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:25.800 sugar control. It is a powerful antioxidant, so once again it has that 449 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:35.639 ability to poke holes into those biofilms. In the Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Journal 450 00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:42.440 over a decade ago, they looked at all the different ways that alfalopoc acid 451 00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:49.400 has these therapeutic uses in not only diabetes but other chronic diseases. And if 452 00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.800 you are a pre diabetic, if you are a diabetic, you are clearly 453 00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:59.480 going to be much more prone to candia overgrowth just because of the environment that's 454 00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:04.719 occurring in your system because candida loves sugar, it's like it's best friend. 455 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.679 So if we have excess glucose that's just kind of traversing through the body, 456 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:16.920 this leaves this door wide open for that candida to start to overtake the system. 457 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:24.000 And we know that alphalapolic acid, this very powerful and key endogenous antioxidant, 458 00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:31.920 does this wonderful job at helping the body better regulate all of these different 459 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:37.119 scenarios that can occur. So whether we're looking at glycation, excess glucose that's 460 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:43.199 doing damage to our nerves, for example, or if we are looking at 461 00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:49.840 biofilms that are created because of excess candida. This is why we always like 462 00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:55.440 to include in a formulation such as el car with ala. When you are 463 00:41:55.519 --> 00:42:04.880 looking at regulation of energy production, we are looking at our antioxidant capacity in 464 00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:10.159 the system. All of these things make a huge difference, and we know 465 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:15.719 that alcar with ala. Oftentimes we talk about this in the setting of memory 466 00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:23.239 and focus and attention. But keep in mind for individuals who have candida overgrowth, 467 00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:31.199 for example, we can clearly see that one of the common complaints is 468 00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:37.599 that brain fog and that people can't usually put their finger on it, like, 469 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.679 why do I feel kind of cloudy? Why do I feel like I 470 00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:47.119 have a difficult time focusing, paying attention, staying on task? Is it 471 00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:55.039 because there is this kind of low grade systemic overgrowth of candida that's occurring that's 472 00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:01.639 now affecting or clouding the actions of your neurons. So this is why taking 473 00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:08.679 al faalapoic acid is so incredibly beneficial. And don't forget your omega threes as 474 00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:15.360 well. Real fascinating study that was conducted just a couple of years ago looking 475 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:22.039 at the anti biofilm activity of essential fatty acids against candida, and this was 476 00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:28.639 published in the Infection and Drug Resistance Journal, But they were looking at the 477 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:37.039 utilization of things like vish oil when it comes to disrupting that biofilm. So 478 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.920 oftentimes, if we're just doing the right things, So I'm going to default 479 00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:44.480 back to this again. If we're just doing the right things, if we're 480 00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:49.920 adhering to a Mediterranean diet, if we are avoiding those sweetened beverages, if 481 00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:55.599 we are avoiding those bad carbohydrates, if we are taking our nutrients every day 482 00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:00.440 from Invite health, including our omega three whichever you know, Omega you were 483 00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:06.960 selecting to use, whether that's fish oil, krill oil. If we're doing 484 00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:09.400 all of these things, we're taking our l car with ala because we have 485 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:16.159 concerns about our memory as we grow older. We are doing such wonderful benefits 486 00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:23.719 for our system to better regulate and control candida that oftentimes people start to do 487 00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:25.840 this and they go, oh, you know, I'm feeling so much better, 488 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.760 And maybe they had no idea that the reasons why they were feeling so 489 00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:37.639 sluggish and just kind of icky was because of candida for many years. But 490 00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:42.280 now that you're on this routine and you've made these lifestyle modifications, you're feeling 491 00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.119 good, and that's fine. If that's what it comes down to, maybe 492 00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:51.000 you never will know that it was a candida issue. But now that you're 493 00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:54.920 on this routine at Invite Health, you do feel like your energy is back, 494 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:59.679 You feel like your focus is back. This is what our goal always 495 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:01.840 is. So I do need to squeeze in one final break. I have 496 00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:07.719 a couple more products that I want to mention, the greens, the organic 497 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:14.360 greens plus as well as the methyl B both of which are very important. 498 00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:17.960 Once again, when we are thinking about a healthy microbiome, and I'm going 499 00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:22.320 to talk about the science why that actually is. So stick around with me. 500 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:27.400 I will be right back just after this.

Or go to invite heealth dot com and 514 00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:37.039 welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams talking about this 515 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:44.360 fun topic today of Candida overgrowth, and it's so common, you know, 516 00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:51.039 estimated one in three individuals are dealing with some degree of candida overgrowth. It 517 00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.960 can present in so many different ways, and unbeknownst to you because you're never 518 00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:58.320 gonna go to your doctor and they're not going to test for this and try 519 00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.119 to figure it out unless you're seeing a function doctor. But we know that 520 00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:06.000 there are so many things that we can be doing, so we start with 521 00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:10.679 our foods. We start with regulating our stress. That's always key as well, 522 00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:16.639 because while Candida of course loves its sugar, it also loves a high 523 00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:24.360 stress environment. Why because the more cortisol gets involved cortisol is our primary stress 524 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:30.440 hormone, the more that's going to disrupt our insulin regulation. So then that 525 00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.079 makes Candida even happier because it's like, oh, thank you, because now 526 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.760 your insulin isn't working properly, which means we're going to have higher levels of 527 00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:43.199 glucose circulating, which makes Candida very very happy. So we always want to, 528 00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.679 you know, make those lifestyle modifications. It's very important to think about 529 00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:53.000 it that way. Organic greens Plus. This is a very popular formulation for 530 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:58.960 those who maybe just don't like the taste of the greens HX, and that's 531 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:05.760 understandable. Not everybody likes the the earthy herbal taste of greens ah ex. 532 00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:12.519 Everyone's palate is different, which is why we offer the organic greens Plus as 533 00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:19.440 well. The Organic Greens Plus has a kind of a mild vanilla almost in 534 00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:24.880 a light cinnamon taste to it, very very tasty. It's actually my favorite. 535 00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:30.760 I love the Organic greens Plus loaded down with fruit and vegetable extracts, 536 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:37.679 has a powerful probiotic blend in this which helps to enhance our microbiome. And 537 00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:43.559 then it has chlorilla and spirollina. I oftentimes talk about the chlorilla and spirollina 538 00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:49.880 as being their own little unique superfoods, and they're the tiny little algaees. 539 00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:55.480 The reason why they're their own little unique superfood is because they are packed with 540 00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:04.639 essential fatty acids. So they have alphalapoeic acid in it, they have B 541 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:10.480 vitamins, they have minerals, so they are very very complete in terms of 542 00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:15.679 what they actually provide you. Now. Interestingly enough, usually when people are 543 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:22.920 thinking about the Organic Greens Plus we're thinking in that setting of detoxification, which 544 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.079 is a good place to think because every single day our body has to go 545 00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:35.039 through different phases of detoxification to rid ourselves of all of which we come in 546 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:44.079 contact with in our environment, and thinking about air pollution not only outside but 547 00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:51.679 inside as well, thinking about different pesticides that are perhaps on foods that you 548 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.199 are eating, different chemicals that you come in contact with. So every single 549 00:49:55.239 --> 00:50:00.000 day your body is trying to keep up with this and go through these different 550 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:07.159 phases of detoxification, which is heavily reliant, by the way, on our 551 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:15.000 body's natural antioxidant system. So this is why we partner our l car with 552 00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:20.679 ALA. We want to make sure that we have adequate antioxidants to turn to, 553 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:24.480 and so we start to look at the organic greens. We say, 554 00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:29.159 okay, this has the chlorilla and the spiralina, which are both very very 555 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:35.719 helpful for our tiny little hepatocites, the little itty bitty liver cells. But 556 00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:43.079 what's really fascinating is once again these side benefits in the close one journal. 557 00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:47.119 You've heard me refer to this journal before in the past. Jerry has referred 558 00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:55.920 to this journal. This is a huge journal and they looked at the effect 559 00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:09.159 the activity of Spirala when it comes to Candida. Now what's really interesting about 560 00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:15.400 this is, once again we start to look at the Spirialena and the Chlorala 561 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:19.360 because they're kind of cousins to one another, and we say, okay, 562 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:22.760 so they have all these natural antioxidants. They have you know, es central 563 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:28.000 fatty acids, so your omega three fatty acids, they have vitamins and minerals. 564 00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.119 Is this the reason why it's so effective against this, you know, 565 00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:39.000 fungal overgrowth. And it's this multitude of all of these different reasons. But 566 00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:46.960 what they were able to see was just how powerful Spirillina actually is when it 567 00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:58.239 comes to the Candida species and the fungicidal activity of spiralina. So you start 568 00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:04.800 to take your scoop of the organic greens plus every single day, and this 569 00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:10.559 is helping the body with having a greater ability to fight off free radicals and 570 00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:20.119 oxidative stress. And it's poking holes once again into those biofilms that have been 571 00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:27.079 created from whether that be a parasite or from candy to overgrowth. But this 572 00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:32.000 is a really nice way to enhance our body's ability to have once again better 573 00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:38.079 communication pathways between your gut and your liver, and your gut and your brain. 574 00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:44.440 So when people are using the Organic Greens Plus formulation, they're like, 575 00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:47.599 I feel really good. Well, there's a reason why, because we are 576 00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:53.199 creating all of this balance in the system. We are driving out the bad 577 00:52:53.280 --> 00:53:00.679 stuff and we are replenishing with all of these powerful nutrients from natural sources, 578 00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:07.599 natural herbal extracts, plant based extracts, fruits and vegetables, as well as 579 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:14.719 that powerful probiotic blend. And it's incredibly tasty. So hands down, this 580 00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:20.000 is definitely a go to is the Organic Greens Plus and it's a lovely thing 581 00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.480 to include in during the summer because we're always trying to increase our hydration. 582 00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:30.079 Remember, most Americans walk around in a chronic state of dehydration, and you're 583 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:37.360 supposed to get ten cups of water per day. Most folks get about two. 584 00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:39.360 And then you wonder, why do I feel sleepy? Why do I 585 00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:45.239 feel tired? It's because you're dehydrated. So if you're dehydrated on top of 586 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:49.199 having a candy to overgrowth, now we're really in for it. And you 587 00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:52.079 say, oh, well, this all makes sense, right, So we 588 00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:57.079 start to take our organic greens. Plus it increases our fluid intake, and 589 00:53:57.159 --> 00:54:01.639 we're using the powerhouse nutrients in there to create balance and regulation. And then 590 00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:08.639 finally I have the methyl B on special Today. The efficacy of B vitamins 591 00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:17.280 as a ADJUVNCT therapy for the treatment of candida has been shown time and time 592 00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:22.559 again. This is once again one of those areas where if you were to 593 00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:24.559 talk to a traditional doctor and you say, oh, hey, you know, 594 00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:31.800 taking activated B vitamins that's pretty important for my body to regulate its response 595 00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:36.199 to candida overgrowth, they'd probably look at you like you're from outer space, 596 00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:37.960 and that's fine. They can continue to look at you that way. But 597 00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.679 what we look at is the science, and we know the power of those 598 00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:46.880 B vitamins, and so using the bioactive B vitamins that are contained in methyl 599 00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:53.639 B lead you down this path to once again having greater control over the way 600 00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:59.840 that the body is responding every day. Those B vitamins are a critical role 601 00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:06.559 in the way that your body detoxifies. In the absence of having enough of 602 00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:14.159 those B vitamins available, we now struggle with those different phases of metabolic detoxification. 603 00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:19.719 So if you are dealing with any type of a chronic candida condition. 604 00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:24.280 Adding in methyl B can create this homeostasis once again and really help with the 605 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:29.480 improvement when it comes to mood. So a lot of individuals will deal with 606 00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:35.719 some low grade anxiety or depression. Having that methyl B formulation creates an awful 607 00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:39.880 lot of balance on top of the fact it's so incredibly beneficial for the immune 608 00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:45.599 system and your heart.
