Radio. You're about to receive responsible, life changing information on health and nutrition.
You'll hear from Invite professionals who are leaders and targeted and anti aging nutrition.
Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional science today right here, right now. Hello,
and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific
director at Invite Health, and happy Saturday morning to everyone. Hopefully you are
up and at it and ready to get your day started, perhaps watching a
little football from what I just heard coming in the old Jets and Giants will
be facing off against one another. So I always get excited when football season
is upon us. As you all probably have heard me ramble on many times,
I'm a huge college football fan. So I'm getting super excited because next
week, next weekend, kicks off the college football season. So I will
be glued to my television, of course, as I am every year.
But I'm just a sports fan in general. So I have an Indie race
I have to take in tomorrow. They have their qualifying today, so I'll
be doing that. And we know that this is the last weekend in August,
which is just absolutely mind blowing to me that we have whipped through summer.
And I tell you, it's been hot here in South Florida. It's
just unrelenting. It's starting to ease up, I guess, maybe a wee
bit, but it's still incredibly hot. And my poor husband, he's just
every day battling the heat and trying to save our avocado tree. And we
have a passion fruit tree, so he is battling the heat and the human
and trying to make sure that all of our things survive. But it is
it is an obstacle. But if it all works out, I will have
wonderful sources of healthy food right in my backyard, which is a wonderful thing.
So today I'm going to cover a lot of different formulations. Being that
we were on the just kind of creeping up to fall, we have to
face the reality of what comes with fall, not only that change in temperature,
but an uptick in ragweed. Yes, ragweed, we all know that
seasonal allergies can be incredibly problematic, and if you've ever experienced, you know,
severe seasonal allergy issues, you may be looking for ways to not have
to rely on those over the counter antihistamianes, which you know can make you
feel groggy and come with a whole host of different side effects. So if
we can use things from nature that have been clinically tested and shown to be
very effective, then maybe we should be looking at those things. So I
will be covering all of that. Ragweed is just it's problematic throughout the you
know, pretty much every state. I know it's bad in New York and
the fall certainly was always horrible in Michigan. That's where I'm from originally,
and I tell you every year and just never failed. As soon as that
first week of school would start for me, I was just a big old
mess. I would just bring my box a clean X with me. You
know, that's a pretty look for a high schooler. But you know,
when I would go to class, it was just just constant, just running
nose itchy. I's the whole thing. Not fun. So I would experience
that fall in Michigan and then again in the in the spring, but the
spring, it was more of like a mold problem. I always talk about
snow mold if you want to know about snow mold. By the way,
I did a podcast on snow mold, and whenever I mentioned it, people
always think I'm just kind of goofing around. They're like, there's no such
thing as snow mold, but it's a real thing. So if you want
more information on snow mold, maybe you feel like every year around February or
March, you have some respiratory issues, not quite feeling like yourself, a
little foggy brained. Could be snow mold. So definitely check out that podcast.
We have so many podcasts that myself as well as Jerry Hickey have done,
and I think we're well over six hundred at this point in time.
So you name the topic, we probably have a podcast that has covered it,
from allergies to arthritis, heart health, memory, you name it,
We've got you covered. As you know, all of our stores are open
seven days a week, so you can always stop by any of our stores.
Any of the products that I talk about are on special, so you
can take advantage of that by going into one of the stores and speaking with
one of our wonderful nutritions. We have our natural pathic doctors. I always
encourage folks to definitely take advantage of that, and you know, I mean
they have years of experience, so definitely, you know, don't feel like
you have to navigate your dietary supplementation routine alone. It can be overwhelming.
I totally get that. I mean I myself get overwhelmed with what I should
be taking every single day. I have my regular routine that I do each
and every single day, but then I kind of switch things up and play
around with different nutrients throughout the week just to keep it fun and exciting.
So if you are looking for assistance when it comes to what you should be
taking, definitely reach out to us. Just a little fun fact today in
history, today is the birthday of Albert Saban. So for me, I
find it interesting because when you think about Jonah Salk and Saban with the polio
vaccine, and you know that Saban did the the oral polio vaccine, and
so for me, I find it very interesting because not only did I go
to medical school, but also I have my degree in public health, and
you know, you think about the just how ravaging in so many ways that
polio was and you still see you know, folks who are out there who
you know, were affected by polio. So I just thought it was interesting.
Today it was his birthday, so happy birthday. I know he's no
longer with us, but nonetheless, happy birthday. Now let's carry on and
let's talk about some new things that are in the news. I just wanted
to mention this one because you'll hear me talk about the importance of Omega three
fatty acids on this show. You'll hear Jerry Hicky talk about, you know,
why taking krill oil advanced or why taking fish oil is so beneficial.
And I've talked about how they have the resolvings and the protectings and the lapoxins,
so it does so many different things to ease up inflammation within the body.
And we don't want chronic inflammation. That's not our goal. No one
ever should want, you know, be Yeah, can I be chronically inflamed?
This is what you know? No, no, no, we don't
want to have chronic inflammation. We know that that's kind of the backbone to
every single disease state. So when we look at Omega threes, we clearly
know that our diet is lacking in adequate omegathreees. Even if you're you know,
adhering to a Mediterranean diet, which I do, but I still realize
I'm not getting enough omega three. So supplementation daily with whether it be fish
oil or krill oil, incredibly advantageous. So the reason why I want to
bring this up is because we know that omega three fatty acids. They're essential,
meaning the body requires them for all of these many different functions. For
maintaining brain volume. You always hear me talk about, you know, the
shrinking brain. You don't want to be in the skinny brain line. We
want to maintain a good, full brain as we get older. So we
also know the cardiovascular benefits when it comes to omega three's how they're working to
regulate cholesterol transport even with blood glucose regulations. Certainly, if you have inflammation,
we know that those omegathrees are going to help if you have arthritis,
for example, making sure you're taking your krill oil advanced or your inflammune or
the fish oil very very helpful. But here's a study that came out of
the University of Gothenburg and it kind of caught my attention. This was in
the Lancet, which is a really large journal, and they were looking at
premies, so pre term babies, and whenever you're dealing with a PREMI there's
so many different factors that you have to look at, you know, lung
development, just their immune system clearly, which is why nucleotides have been used
so frequently, which I actually have the Immune multivitamin on special today which includes
nucleotides. So there's a whole host of different studies on nucleotide supplementation in premies
and why that's important for building up their immune defenses. But this particular study
is looking at pre term babies and Omega three fatty acids for vision health.
So I was like, oh wow, this is a really fascinating study.
It makes sense to me. But I really enjoy going through and looking at
studies like this where they're highlighting once again the importance of an essential fatty acid
and what they're actually doing. And they found that when they were giving these
pre term babies Omega threes and then they were assessing their visual acuity as they
were developing, they they found a significant improvement on vision. So that's one
of those areas once again, where when you're thinking about you know, premies,
usually people are thinking about lung development and that's where the biggest concern is.
But it's like, well, heck, you know, even their eyes
you know, may not be fully developed. In thinking about brain development,
which is why I always say, you know, when if you're talking to
a traditional doctor and they want to poo poo down omega three supplementation, like,
ah, you don't need to take that. And trust me, I've
heard it a million times. I don't know why doctors forget that these are
essential, essential fatty acids, so pretty darn important need to have them,
So we don't want to, you know, be dismissive to supplementation of omega
three's. But it's always fascinating because they're fine with DHA being put into baby
formula. They're like, oh, yeah, heck, babies need to have
that fatty acid for their brain development. But you know, it's it is
what it is really at the end of the day, when you're dealing with
that crossover between you know, nutrition and traditional medicine, and I get that.
I can you know, go back in history and and remember my training
going through medical school, and there's just no emphasis on nutrition. Is it
starting to change maybe a little bit, But I mean I was working you
know with medical students for you know, many years, and even these younger
medical students who are you know, now practicing physicians, which is very exciting.
All of my students are all now into residency. They all just started
their their residency programs in July. So I'm super excited for all of them
because I worked with them through their different struggles throughout medical school and they made
it and so now they're going to be out there. But even with them,
it's amazing how much they didn't tie in nutrition. And this is why
we do what we do at Invite Health, because we recognize that we have
to understand how the body is working, why key vitamins and minerals and antioxidants
and these essential fatty acids why they matter so much, and why probiotics are
so important. So we kind of go back to this topic of ragweed and
knowing that the fall seasonal allergy season is literally right around the corner. For
some folks, they've already started to experience it because I know in New York
kind of waxes and wanes from one year to the next. You know,
maybe it starts mid August, but for many they don't notice it until maybe
the end of September early October. But in any event, we have to
recognize how our immune system is actually reacting to these different pollens or different allergens.
And there's so much research out there now showing the direct impact that probiotics
can have on immune system regulation when it comes to things like allergic rhinitis and
seasonal allergies, which is always fascinating. I know that Jerry Hickey himself,
you know, has had this issue in New York when it comes to those
seasonal allergies, and that's why he says, you know, once he formulated
probiotic HX, he was like, hands down, you know, this is
my savior here, because when you start to create this normalization within the gut
microbiome, it's amazing how in sync you can actually get the immune system to
become. So there are ample studies now looking at the safety and efficacy of
the use of probiotics when it comes to seasonal allergies. There was a really
great study that came out looking at a review a meta analysis of multiple clinical
tiles that was published in the Frontiers and Immunology. I really love that journal.
I like immunology, I like microbiology. I'm a fan of it all.
I I like little bugs and pathogens. I find them fascinating and interesting.
But this study was really quite impressive showing how the power of probiotics are
actually working. So I'm going to talk about that. I'm looking at the
clock. I know I need to take a break, So stick around with
me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio. We will be right back.

number again is eight hundred four four one, seventeen seventy and welcome back to
Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams. Happy Saturday morning to all
of you out there listening, all of you early birds. I am talking
about probiotics and the study that was in the Frontiers in Immunology where they actually
went through and they looked at twenty eight different studies that we're using probiotics,
different strains of these healthy little bacteria and looking at the correlation between symptomatic improvement
when it comes to seasonal allergies. So this is a large meta analysis.
So meta analysis is when you populate the data from similar studies. So you
can have a study maybe that was done at you know, Stanford University where
they were looking at, you know, probiotic use and hay fever. You
can have another study that's conducted at you know, Duke University where they were
looking at probiotic use and you know tree pollens. So you take all of
the data and you populated that and you pull that all together and you say,
well, how effective, you know, how safe is this? And
it was really quite interesting to see the actual benefits that folks in these different
clinical trials were getting by just supplementing with probiotics, and you know, so
that's one that kind of sticks with me. But then there was a study
done in the Foods Journal where they were looking at probiotic use as a possible
strategy for prevention and treatment of allergies. So this one kind of stepped outside
of that you know, realm of just seasonal allergies and looking at some other,
you know, more significant allergies. So I think that this is something
a point to be noted. And of course, you know, most of
these studies are going to always include the different strains that we commonly come across,
which are going to be lactobacilla's family as well as bifto bactrum, and
so it's always interesting when you see the studies. You can see the individual
strains of bacteria and then the overall improvements. So today I have our probiotic
maintain on special. Now this is a very powerful it's a fifteen billion colony
forming units. So what does that mean. The colony forming units means as
you take these capsules, that means they're going to make their way into the
harsh stomach environment and they're still going to remain viable. So it's not like
they hit the stomach acids and they just you know, break apart and start
to die off. So they're going to make their way into the intestines so
that they can be utilized to support that microbiome. And we all have to
keep in mind, I know, bugs give people the creeps. Like I
said, I love bugs. I find it so fascinating. It was one
of my probably favorite classes even an undergraduate. I took microbiology and I was
like hooked. I was like, I love this stuff. And then of
course I like genetics too, so that anything science, I'm it's up my
alley. But when you look at the use of these different bacteria and you
start to realize that every single day, each and every single one of us
is walking around with about two pounds of bacteria. And you might say,
oh, Okay, that just made the hair on the back of my neck
go up because that's kind of gross. But these bacteria are there to make
sure we survive. Where we start to get problems is when we have kind
of an overrunning of bad bacteria. So hence, this is why supplementation with
probiotic is so incredibly beneficial. So we look at the probiotic maintain and it
has this fifteen billion colony forming units of multiple strains. You have Lactobacillus acidophilis
in this, there's bifidobactroom lactus in it, bifidobactroom breve, lacto Basilus ramnosis.
All of these different strains of healthy bacteria that we know reside within the
human microbiome, and all of us are individually unique, the different types of
bacteria that are normally found within our body and the amounts. But when we're
supplementing, the idea is we want to get the most powerful strains, the
most common strains, and get those back into the system so that they can
help to recolonize the intestinal environment. So that's the takeaway here with the probiotic
maintained formulation. It also contains fructo illego saccharide. Oftentimes people shorten this to
fos, but fructo illegal sacarides are a soluble fiber, so they work in
a sense as a prebiotic. And we know that the prebiotic supports the growth
and the viability once again of those very important bacteria that reside within the intestinal
track. So we also know that having this fructo illegal sac ride can also
be very beneficial with promoting regularity and for a lot of folks out there.
And I always say, people don't like to talk about bowel movements, but
it's part of life. So I don't really shy away from too many things
because it's the human body and so we have to talk about that. But
there are so many folks who deal with GI imbalances. So maybe that leads
you down the path where you know you're chronically constipated, or perhaps you have
more of a tendency to have loose stool. So you know, does that
categorize you into you know, something such as irrible bowel perhaps, But we
can also look at diet and the influence of that. We can look at
inadequate mineral intake as well as mineral absorption as being you know, problematic to
this, and certainly we have to recognize that any type of imbalance in the
bacteria within the intestines will create problems when it comes to normal bowel regularity.
So when supplementing with the probiotic MAINTAIN, we get all of these powerful strains
that really help to normalize the digestive process and help to support normal regularity.
So it's a it's a fan favorite, it's was a doctor pressman formulation.
And sometimes we don't highlight this particular probiotic, but today I thought, you
know, I'm talking probiotics. We know that we've got you know, hay
fever, ragweed, seasonal allergies around the corner. It would be incredibly wise
to make sure that we are starting to incorporate in these healthy bacteria because we
know that they help to regulate those immune cells. So when you have something
such as ragweed that triggers the system and we get this uptick in release of
immunoglobulin E and our mass cells, and then we have this release of histamine,
it's that histamine release that gives you the symptoms. So the running knows
the you know, maybe the wheezing, the coughing, the itchy eyes,
running eyes, So we want to be able to address that. So the
better we have a good balance of healthy bacteria in the intestines, then we
get that upper hand. So probiotic maintain excellent choice. Now we've got many
other probiotics available in our product line. We also have the probiotic weight for
heard me talk about this multiple times how beneficial that is for lib detoxication and
to promote healthy weight loss. Now that contains a single strain of probiotic.
It has Biffido bactrum brevet B three in it and that has been studied specifically
for its ability to promote weight loss. So that's a great thing if you're
looking to shed some pounds. But then it's partnered up with the burgoson FF
and burgason FF is that combination of bergamot fruit along with artichoke. So we're
thinking Mediterranean already because we're like, oh, we've got our sitter's fruit,
we have our artichoke. But they do a wonderful job when it comes to
liver detoxification, which is key because we want to have successful weight loss,
we have to get better daily detoxification occurring. We have to open up that
communication communication pathway between the liver and the gut. So now you can start
to see why probiotic weight is so helpful because we're getting this powerful single strain
of probiotic and we're partnering it with two mighty powerful nutrients, so we get
this wonderful connection between the gut and the liver. So in turn, not
only are we improve moving upon daily detoxification and helping with cholesterol transport, but
we're also helping to lose weight. So that's our probiotic weight. So that's
on special today too. So I have the probiotic maintained. That's going to
be your comprehensive immune system support, digestive support, gut brain connection support,
probiotic, So probiotic maintain, it's kind of for all systems go. And
then we have the probiotic weight, and that is really for detoxification and to
support healthy weight loss. And remember, whenever you're trying to lose weight,
it's not about oh, I just need to lose five or ten pounds,
but it's about maintaining that. So the way that we can maintain that is
if we create this scenario in the body where we're improving upon that gut liver
connection. So that's the takeaway with the probiotic weight. And for folks who
maybe have elevated liver enzymes, maybe you already have indications that you have non
alcoholic fatty liver disease, which they're now starting to coin as metabolic liver disease.
But in any event, we know that there is a big uphill battle
when it comes to addressing that. It's unfortunate because we know that the majority
of non alcoholic fatty liver disease cases are brought on because of the standard American
diet. So it's kind of like, you know, here's the shiny object
over here. It's the bad foods, but let's not talk about it.
So that's the unfortunate thing that This is why the probiotic weights so helpful because
it does really help to counter balance a lot of the issues that arise within
normal detoxication each day, and it encourages the body to be more successful in
getting rid of all the different sludge as I like to say, that we
accumulate throughout the day, and this is stuff that can build up inside of
the body as well as extrinsically so externally, things that we are taking in
so probiotic weight. And then we also have the probotic women. Now I
always like to to put this out there into the universe that the probiotic women,
while the name is called women, does not mean that men cannot use
this formulation. The probiotic women contains four powerful strains of Lactopascillus. Now,
these are the most commonly found strains within the vaginal track, but we also
know that they are the most common strains found in the eurogenital track of males
as well. And then it partners up those four lactopascillus strains with garlic and
time extract. The reason why it has garlican time extract in it is to
not only promote healthy detoxication and enhance the antioxidant capacity, but we also know
that the microbial balance that garlican time is providing is very significant. So if
you have a male who is dealing with a urinary tract infection or prostatitis inflammation,
whether it's bacterial in nature or not within the prostate, this is kind
of that go to probiotic in our line that you want to turn to.
Like I said, even though the name says women, don't let that fool
you. It will be very beneficial for men who are dealing with either chronic
UTIs inflammation within the prostate, and then of course for women, it creates
this wonderful balance within the vaginal tract for that normalization, for that normal flora.
And we always want to make sure we don't have any overgrowth of candida.
We want to make sure that we have no significant overgrowth of any type
of bad bacteria. We know that both the garlic and time extracts have been
studied in the settings of yeast infections, so in candida infections as well as
for bacterial vaginosis. So those are the two most common vaginal infections that women
can experience. Is either going to be a yeast infection or BV as it
is shortened, but bacterial vaginosis. So the probiotic women is very much targeted
towards those and then of course you're getting those powerful strains of lacto bacillus in
that formulation. So I have a lot more ground to cover. Looking at
the clock, I know I need to take a break, So stick around
with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio. I will be right
back and here's today's special by two bottles of any of today's featured items and
forty percent off a free shipping double up. That's four bottles, and also
receive today's free gift. Here's the number and write it down because you could
speak with an Invite nutritionist seventies a week. The number for Invite eight hundred
four four one seventeen seventy. The number for Invite eight hundred four four one
seventeen seventy. That's eight hundred four four one seventeen seventy. Please visit our
retail locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Nassau County and
stop buy and visit with our nutritionists. We post infoend studies on our website

radio you can hit the live chat button for answers to your questions or listen
to podcasts of our recent shows, all at Invite health dot com. It
can also follow Invite on Facebook or Twitter for today's specials. Our number again
is eight hundred four four one seventeen seventy and welcome back to Invite Health radios
of talking about probiotic women. This is also wonderful for men as well,
as I said, don't let the name fool you. It's kind of interesting.
It's like, before I formulated the Menopause Advanced formulation, I used to
work with women who were experiencing, you know, significant issues with hormonal imbalance,
and I would say, oh, well, let's turn to prostate HX
and they look at me like, you know, it's from outer space,
Like why. I was like, hello, I don't need prostate formulation.
But the prostate HX had this wonderful blend of different nutrients that could be very
beneficial for women and hormone balance. So now we have the Menopause Advance which
contains all of those nutrients. So women really get that that support. So
if you if you are experiencing problems such as low energy disruptions and sleep,
maybe you're feeling a little moody. I also always like to let people know
that the menopause Advanced, while the names as menopause, this is wonderful for
you know, women in their twenties who maybe experienced PMS. So it's incredibly
comprehensive formulation. But nonetheless, back to the probiotic for women, men can
use it as well. In the Journal of applied microbiology. They looked at
the treatment of vaginal infections with using time. So once again we start to
look and say, well, why is their garlic, why is their time
in this probiotic And this is also another fun little fact. Having the garlic
in time extract combined with those four strains of lact of Bacillus actually allows that
lackt of aacillus to have this layer of protection itself, which is kind of
fascinating. And there's been studies on that, like, hey, if you
have this, you know, strain of bacteria that maybe can you know,
have a tendency to get beat up along the way, you know, as
far as supplementation, how can we make it more viable? Once again,
and we know that garlic in time helps to protect those lactobacilla's strains, so
you're really getting this powerful punch with every capsule, which is a great thing.
But in this study they were looking at the use of time extract against
different vaginal infections and looking at bacterial vaginosis as well as looking at yeast infections,
and they found that the use of time was incredibly effective at targeting those
two issues. And we know that with garlic I mean, they've studied this
one in a head to head comparison with metronitozol. Metronitosol is the most commonly
prescribed medication for women who are dealing with bacterial vaginosis, and BV happens to
be the most common infection. Oftentimes women think it's the yeast infection, it's
often bacterial vaginosis. So they wanted to look and see if garlic extract would
have any impact on this. And so they said, well, let's use
the gold standard, which is metronetosol, and then let's use garlic extract and
let's see, you know, how these women do. And they found that
the garlic was a suitable alternative for metronetosol, which is very important because remember
when we're using a prescribed medication, we always run that risk of having side
effects. So if we're using garlic, we're looking at side benefits. Okay,
hey, this is great for the microbial balance within the vaginal tract.
We know it's very specified for its antimicrobial properties, and we also know that
garlic extract is a powerful antioxidant, so we're getting all all of these benefits
system wide. So this is why we have the the probiotic for women.
So that's the the probiotic trifecta that's on special today. So you've got the
probiotic maintain, that's your everyday use probiotic, the fifteen billion colony forming units
along with that fructo illegal sack ride in it. So that's for all systems
ago and then we have the probotic weight and we have the probiotic women.
So now back to hay fever and ragweed and all of that fun stuff,
because I really want to make sure that people have the information that they need.
So we know, taking probiotic maintain, that's one component to this.
But let's just say you were like how I was in Michigan, and it's
fascinating once they moved to Florida, I didn't have I don't get any allergies
down here, which is a great thing. But keep this in mind too.
I'd completely change my diet and of course I take a ton of supplements.
Now, so is that really the thing? If I, you know,
was eating a standard American diet the way that I used to when I
was an undergraduate, and you know, not taking any type of vitamins or
minerals or probiotics every day. Would I, you know, be triggered by
certain things down here in South Florida. Perhaps, yes, I'm not exactly
sure, but you know, I definitely adhere to a Mediterranean diet and then
I'm very regular with my supplementation routine. So but I want to talk about
black seed extract because I tell you what, this is the product that I
turned to when folks are dealing with the ickiness of seasonal allergies who are just
kind of over it. But the reason why I turned to this is because
not only the science behind it, how it's working, but looking at the
effectiveness in terms of the timing how quickly the black seed extract can start to
give you that shift in how you feel. And I said, most folks
are running out to you know, Dwayne Reads and are getting the over the
counter antihistamines. They're feeling groggy, and they're like, I have dry mouth
now all of those things. And I experienced that, you know, back
in the day when I was in Michigan. You take the different antihistamines and
that would dry you out, make you feel tired. We don't want to
do that when we can use things from nature that have been clinically studied and
shown to be highly effective. So our black seed formulation that Jerry Hickey formulated
so many years ago and it remains to be our powerhouse when we think about
allergies and immune system regulation. Is a combination of black Cooman extract along with
rosemary extracts. We're getting the power of that marenic acid. And then it
also has cortceps, so the cortceps mushroom and we know the immuno modulatory benefits
of mushroom extract and cortceps is a powerhouse when it comes to how it helps
to regulate the immune system. And then of course remember with mushroom extracts,
we always get some ergo calciferol, which is vitamin D two. So not
that you need to know what the technical name of vitamin D two, but
just you know the takeaway with that, as hey, I'm taking this black
seed extract, I know that this is a good source of vitamin D.
So while it's the plant based form, so you get D two, it
will convert in the liver and the kidneys into D three, which is the
active form of vitamin D. So that's our little fun you know, learning
lesson on vitamin D today. But now now back to to the black seed
formation, this particular formula. I have had so much success with folks who
have dealt with a multitude of different allergens. And I have a gentleman in
Florida who works in like a mold remediation. He has his own company,
and he was constantly, you know, around mold and using the proper safety
equipment. But this is you know, it's mold spores. Hello, so
we know that they're going to be lingering. And so I was talking to
him. I said, well, you know, I think it would be
incredibly advantageous for you to be taking this product every single day, just based
on you know, what your what your job is. And he started to
use it, and he came back a week later and he's like, oh
my gosh, Amanda, I cannot believe the difference of how I feel.
He goes, I didn't realize, you know, how much the mold was
affecting me, and so he felt like he the airways had opened up.
He's like, I feel like I'm getting you know, better breadths and also
the brain fog. So we have to always realize that with different allergens,
different pollens. It can affect brain connectivity. So we're using black seed with
rosemary and cort aceps, which regulates the immune system response, helps to tamper
down histamine release. Rosemary's very good at doing that, and then we have
that black seed which really eases inflammation. So when you're using this formulation,
not only do you get the respiratory benefits and the immune system benefits, but
think of all of the other side benefits that go along with rosemary extract as
well as black seed, both of which have been studied for their support for
blood glucose regulation, which is always interesting when you look at the way in
which different nutrients are either highlighted or used in a product formulation. We know
that rosemary has very powerful anti hyperglycemic effects. In the Nutrians Journal back in
twenty seventeen, they talk about this. They're like, you know, we
look at a lot of different herbal extracts. We look at different minerals,
trace minerals, for example, chromium, vanadium, different antioxidants, and how
they work to create balance with our blood sugar each day. But they said,
you know, we're looking at all these studies where rosemary extract is being
used, and in many of these studies, we're looking at these clinical outcomes
that we weren't expecting. So maybe they were using rosemary extract to target someone's
hay fever and the ragweed allergy, but they started to look at their blood
and said, well, hey, in this study, it actually helped to
lower their blood glucose and improve insulin sensitivity. So they started to look at
this in a much more detailed way and found that there are these you know,
powerful as they describe it, anti diabetic effects of rosemary extract because of
its polyphenolic constituents. So we're thinking about you know, rosemary. A lot
of times we zero in on the rosemarinic acid. That's that powerhouse that helps
to regulate that histamine, but there are other active constituents that are derived from
rosemary that pack this punch when it comes to blood sugar regulation as well.
So perhaps you are using the black seed extract because you don't want to be
dealing with the wheezing and the seasonal allergies and the running nose and all of
that, but you also have to realize why, heck, this is also
really good for my joints, and this is really good for my blood sugar.
So should I be running out to Dwayne Reeds and taking that antihistamine or
should I be running over to Invite Health and getting that black seed formulation that
has the rosemary and that coretu SUPs mushrooms. So I think the answer to
that one's pretty simple. Of course, I'm biased because I am such a
science junkie and I love, you know, understanding how these different nutrients are
working to promote, you know, overall wellness. Even rosemary extract has been
studied for how well it works for regulation within the central nervous system, which
those studies I found really quite fascinating when they started to look and say,
well, rosemary has been shown, you know, to have these anti inflammatory
properties, analgesic properties, so for pain relieving, but also it is very
good for you targeting anxiety and supporting healthy memory. So once again we're using
this combination formulation that Jerry Hickey designed many years ago. And while you may
be thinking I'm going to take that because I don't want to deal with ragweed
season, you are also going to get the benefit throughout the entire body.
So best way to take this if you are you know symptomatic with you know,
sneezing and all that fun stuff that goes along with seasonal allergies. You'd
want to do two caps twice a day for two weeks. I always go
to the two by two by two rule for leading into allergy season. If
you're taking two caps a day, that's usually good to kind of start priming
the system so that you're going to be less reactive or if you're reactive at
all to any of those different pollens. But you can work with one of
our nutritionists so that we can design your supplementation routine based off of you know,
your current situation. It's always wise to do that. So I need
to squeeze in one final break, so stick around with me. You are

I am doctor Amandalams here with you on this Saturday morning, the last
Saturday of August. Maybe that brings joy for some folks. I guess I'm
not as affected by the seasonal changes now that I've lived in Florida for so
long, because goodness, at halftime, you can't figure out what season it
is down here, it's always just hot. But in Michigan it used to
really affect me as soon as you get to that, you know, just
before Labor Day and you're like, oh, no, summer's coming to an
end. And you know, I think the only thing that ever kept me
positive back then was well, I played tennis, so I fall was tennis
season, but you know, knowing that it was football season kept me on
the positive and upbeat. But as I mentioned, I was always dealing with
the lovely effects of ragweed. So now we've got our ways to deal with
this, so we can be taking our probatic maintain. We can take the
black seed with roseman arian cortus ups, and then we can take the immunity
multi vitamin, So the immunity multivitamin member that's our core multi vitamin, so
you get all of the power of those activated B vitamins, which is critical
for your immune system. A lot of times we overlook what those B vitamins
are doing when it comes to immune system regulation. So B vitamins are required
for both the innate and the adaptive immune system. So innate that's your initial
and then you have the adaptive, which is the delayed. So we always
want to make sure that we're covering all of our bases when it comes to
the immune system. So the immunity Multi contains the power of those activated B
vitamins. You get that wonderful spectrum of natural vitamin E. And then of
course you get wonderful crotnoids, and we know that crotnoids are very beneficial for
immune system regulation, so not just for your eyes, definitely beneficial for your
brain as well as the immune system. And then it has the nucleotides,
so nucleotide complex along with Elderberry extract. I don't have to probably go into
too many details on the power of Elderberry I think at this point we all
know Elderberry extract. There's a reason why folks turn to Elderberry when they start
feeling a little under the weather, because it's just so helpful when it comes
to how the immune system is reacting to common cold, for example. So
the immunity Multi being that this is a newer multivitamin in our product line,
I always, you know, tell folks you can kind of rotate our different
multis. Maybe you already use the performance and then you're looking and going,
well, the immunity sounds pretty good. We can rotate these. You know,
one day you take immunity the next day you take the performance back and
forth like that. But the immunity multivitamin I also look at as being kind
of that multi that you definitely want to start having into your routine in the
fall. So being that fall is kind of right around the corner or in
the end of August, here, this would be a wise time to start
with daily supplementation with the immunity multime to really drive up those immune defenses with
the nucleotides along with the Elderberry extract. So it's a really great formulation,
easy to take. As with all of our multi vitamins come in the individual
packets, I don't have to, you know, go on and on about
the importance of you know, taking a multi vitamin every day. I think
that that's pretty well known that, you know, regardless of what you're doing
in your diet, if you're trying to eat very healthy and adhering to a
Mediterranean style way of eating, you're still going to be lacking adequate nutrients each
day. This is I supplementing with a comprehensive powerhouse multi itemins such as the
immunity multiviemin very helpful. And remember we have the keylated minerals in that as
well, so they can make their way through the stomach acids without breaking down,
so that we actually can use them properly in the system. So that's
the immunity multiviemin The red zchex this is another one that I always think is
a nice one to add in during the you know, the entrance to fall
because of the carotenoids in this plus having that probiotic blend once again, so
it helps to create this nice balance within the microbiome. It's heightening up your
body's ability to drive up your antioxidant defenses. Antioxidants are key to fending off
different allergens. So taking a scoop of red zhex each day, which has
almost forty fruit and vegetable extracts that wonderful probiotic blend in that allows the immune
system to have a better grip once again at you know, if it is
ragweed, if it is a tree pollen, if it's mold, whatever be
the case. And at the same time we also have to realize, well,
there's other pathogens out there, different viruses. So having the red ZX
whether you just add that in, I like taking it with yogurt, adding
in a scoop of that mix it in with some plain yogurt. I think
it's very tasty that way, and then add in some fresh berries on top
of that. But you can just take it, you know, straight up
with water. You can make a smoothie with it. Take a scoop of
that red ZHX, knowing that you're getting that good coverage helping to support detoxification
and at the same time enhancing the immune system response. So red ZX I
always like to include into that fall routine along with the black exeed extract,
the new immunity multivitamin, and that probiotic Maintain, and then finally I have
the College x HA on special. Not that this necessarily ties into seasonal allergies,
but we know that if we have chronic inflammation that's occurring, it can
make us more prone to being reactive to seasonal allergies. And we know that
college x HA this wonderful blend of hydrolyzed collagen peptides along with hyaluronic acid,
it also contains glucosamine, and you're getting some tumoric extract and that it does
a really wonderful job at easing inflammation, that systemic inflammation that's occurring within the
joints. So if we can lessen joint inflammation, at the same time,
we're helping to repair and rebuild lost collagen through the years. Were once again
we're helping to create this nice balance for the immune system. So, as
I mentioned, many times, people won't look at collagen in that setting,
but if we're dealing with arthritic conditions that already tells us the body is inflamed.
We want to be able to mitigate that. We want to lessen that
inflammatory load and by putting collagen peptides back into our system so that we can
help to replenish all of that collagen that's been lost throughout the years. Remember
you start losing collagen in your mid twenties, and with every decade thereafter you
continue to lose collagen. So as far as like daily supplementation, taking college
x H a really good idea because not only are we helping to put the
collagen back, and we're also getting that hyaluronic acid, which is very helpful
for the geli cushioning within your joints as well as the hydration effect for your
skin. So when folks are you know, getting older, and you look
in the mirror and you go oh goodness, am I seeing fine lines and
wrinkles? I don't like that? Then this is why this particular product,
having that combo of the collagen peptides along with that high luronic acid, can
really be very helpful not only for joint health, but for vascular health,
for skin health, and we're lessening inflammation, which in turn helps to support
the immune system in a much more efficient way. So that's the college XHA.
It's very easy to use. Once again, you just take a scoop
of that. A lot of folks like to add it in first thing in
the morning with their coffee. You can definitely do that. You can add
it in with some you know, yogurt if you want to do that as
well. And whenever you feel like a little confused, like well, how
should I use this product? The best time of day I should use this
this is when you want to reach out to one of our nutritionists. They
are there to help you help yourself, and that's always very important to remember
and to realize. And it's a free service, so definitely take advantage of
that. So let me run through what's on special today. Got the probiotic
women, the probiotic weight, the probiotic, maintain the Red's Achex, the
black Seed with Rosemary, the Immunity multivitamin, and the College x h A,
