You'll hear from Invite professionals who are leaders in 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 all of you who are
up, bright and early, ready to kick off the very special weekend for
all of the dads and grandfather's out there. Tomorrow as Father's Day, So
Happy Father's Day to all of you out there. Today is a very special
day in history. Today is when the Statue of Liberty actually arrived in New
York Harbor, came in three hundred and fifty pieces packed in more than two
hundred cases, So that's something very special. And another very special thing is
today's my dad's birthday. So happy birthday, Dad. I will be visiting
with him later today and then of course tomorrow. It's interesting because you know,
his birthday being June seventeenth, it always falls right around Father's Day,
and my poor mom, her birthday is two days after Christmas, so it's
kind of like we celebrate you know, Father's Day and my dad's birthday kind
of conjoined, and then Christmas and my mom's birthday together. But nonetheless it's
a special day and one to be celebrated, and so happy birthday Dad.
Now today, I do want to zero in on memory because this is an
area that so many folks come to me and they have concerns about this,
and rightfully so. Mind you, we all want to have good cognitive function
as we grow older, and we know that there are many factors that can
lead us down the path of kind of memory decline, not feeling as sharp
or focused. We know there's many things that drive this, diet being the
primary one, but we also have to look at medications and that side effects
to medications can certainly disrupt our cognitive ability, our cognitive function, so we
always want to try and find that root cause. What's interesting is that oftentimes
people don't really start to target issues when it comes to brain health, until
they're already experiencing problems. You know, they're having problems forgetting things, they're
you know, having issues when it comes to focus and attention. So the
best point that I'm going to make here is to be proactive, folks.
You want to make sure that you start really zeroing in on brain health as
soon as you can. Don't wait until you forget where you set down your
car keys. And that's a common thing. And that's oftentimes not even so
much about the issue with cognitive decline as it is so much with stress.
And when folks are highly stressed out, this really affects the ability of the
brain to have good neuronal connections. So we want to take different nutrients that
we know can help facilitate better cognition. And we know that there are a
lot of different conditions out there that can lead to declining memory. We can
look at chronic disease states such as diabetes, and there is you know,
kind of this whole wing of research when it comes to diabetes dementia, and
we know that this is driven because of the excess sugar that glucose that travels
across the entire body and it creates that problem known as glycation. So not
that we need to get into the weeds with the technical terms, but what
glycation actually does is it disrupts the function of anything that it attaches to.
So we don't want to have this excess sugar that creates a problem for our
brain cells. So we have to always look at the management of any underlying
disease. We have to have better control over blood pressure. We need to
do better when it comes to our diet because we know that the diet lacking
in keynutrients certainly will affect our ability to have good brain health. And I
often say, you know, as we grow older, you can kind of
imagine this. You can imagine like two groups of folks and one group is
you know, standing in a line and they're in the skinny brain line,
and then you have another group of folks and they're in the fat brain line.
This is the one time in your life that you want to choose that
that heavier side. You want to be in that fat, full brain line
because we want to maintain our brain volume as we grow older. This is
very important and this is why we talk so often on Invite Health Radio about
diet and the Mediterranean diet. I know Jerry oftentimes talks about the Mind diet,
which is kind of a modified Mediterranean diet. This is important because we
have to have those powerful antioxidants. We have to have those good healthy fats
to be able to get into the brain to allow the brain to remain structurally
full and sound. And so we always look at diet first, we look
at these other factors. You know, are we on a medication such as
a Staton drug. The biggest problematic Staton drug out there is a torvus statin
also goes by the brand name of Lippatour. So if you are listening and
you are taking Lippatour or it's generic version which is known as a torvas statin,
or you know, someone is Father's Day tomorrow, maybe your dad is
taking a cholesterol lowering medication. Maybe this is the best gift that you can
give to him. And maybe you were thinking about getting him, you know,
a golf club or something along that line. But maybe you'll listen to
this show and say, you know what, I'm gonna ask dad tomorrow,
Dad, what cholesterol medication are you on? Because if he tells you that
he's on lipatour, or a touravas statin. You need to have a heavy
talk with him. And it matters because that particular stat and drug actually strips
the brain of much needed cholesterol. So it's interesting that as people are on
lipatour or a tour of a statin, over the course of time, they'll
start to have this mild cognitive decline that's occurring. And when this happens,
it's oftentimes kind of unbeknownst to them. They don't ever correlate it back to
their medication. They don't ever say, oh, well, maybe I'm having
some memory issues because I've been taking this cholesterol lowering medication. So because it's
not like it happens overnight. This is why we always want to be aware
of these drugs and the side effects that go along with them. So if
you know someone who's taking that particular statin drug, you want to talk to
them and say, hey, next time you go to your doctor, hey
better, yeah, call your doctor's office on Monday and say can we switch
to a different statin drug. And oftentimes, I mean, we have to
be cut to the chase on this one. Many times people don't even need
a stat and drug, but it's just kind of the the claim to fame
when it comes to cholesterol management in this country, where we should really be
zeroing in on dietary management. So so many aspects of human health really come
down to the diet and so so that's my little piece of advice. My
tip for the weekend is talk to anyone who's on a TOURVA stat and and
make sure that they switch. I remember years ago a gentleman came into the
Invite Health store in Boca and he was complaining about memory and he says,
I don't know what's going on. He says, but you know, over
the course of the last six months, maybe one year, I just don't
feel like I'm as mentally sharp, and I'm, you know, finding myself
kind of struggling with just even remembering people's names. And he goes, I
don't know, you know, if I'm not taking the right supplements or you
know, what should I do? So I sat down with them and I
said, well, you know, let's kind of walk through a typical day
for you. What do you eat every day? And you know, what's
your activity level, like, you know, what's your stress level? Like
I mean, because these are all factors that can lead into problems with focus,
attention, and memory. And then I also said, are you on
any medications and he says yeah, So he lists off his medications. He
had, you know, medication that he was on for diabetes, and then
he was also on a tourva staton and so I sat back and I said,
I think we know you know what's going on because his diabetes was actually
quite well managed, his diet was really good. He was taking you know,
his mainstay supplements each day. So I said, you know, this
is coming down to your statin drug and he says, you know, that's
so interesting that you say that. He goes because I started that medication about
two years ago. He goes, and it just seems like with every month,
my memory has gotten worse. So nonetheless, he went back to his
doctor. He's switched off of that drug. They put him on a different
drug, and he was like, this is kind of amazing. It's almost
like once he discontinued that medication, he felt like his memory was getting sharper
once again and clear. So that's key. So we always want to be
proactive to the health of our brains. So we want to kind of play
detective work. We don't want to be throwing spaghetti at the wall. We
want to play to detective because that's going to allow you to make the best
choices when it comes to dietary modifications. When it comes to stress management techniques
and being mindful, that's very, very important. You know, if you
are highly stressed out, good luck when it comes to memory and when it
comes to attention. I mean I can attest to this myself. I don't
know how many times in the past where you know, I would be commuting
home and just you know, you're sitting in traffic, you start to feel
that stress, you feel that tension building up, and then I would say,
oh, I have to go to the grocery store. And then you
run into the grocery store and you're standing there in the middle of the store
going what the heck did I come in here for? And it's not because
I was having a actual memory issue. It was stress. And so we
always have to find ways to mitigate our stress every day. So whatever technique
works for you, and maybe you don't have a technique right now, then
I encourage you to speak with one of our nutritionists and work with them on
different mindfulness techniques. I did my certification through the Center for Mind Body Medicine,
and I learned so much about how as individual humans, we all kind
of gravitate to different ways of how we manage our stress. For some folks,
you know, they want to be able to decompress via exercise. For
other folks, unfortunately, maybe they turned to comfort foods and eating or you
indulging in adult beverages. But we have to find the healthy way to be
able to decompress. I find for myself music is my therapy. I love
music, and so if I'm feeling a little, just a little stressed,
I will, you know, just kind of kick back, turn on some
of my favorite songs. And it's amazing how quickly that can actually help me
personally kind of just recalibrate everything and just have a more positive outlook. And
so you have to find what works for you. You know, maybe it's
meditation, maybe it's guided imagery, maybe it's doing yoga, maybe it's taking
a walk in the park, whatever it may be, it's important to make
that part of your daily routine because we want to be able to protect our
brain. We don't want to create access free radicals and oxidative stress and damage
that can do harm to our brain. So we want to be able to
enhance our brain function. And we know that many folks do have these concerns,
and we want to be able to protect our working memory. We want
to have good attention, we want to be able to have obviously good executive
function skills. These are all things that we can achieve through having this multimodal
approach of stress reduction, getting adequate proper sleep seven to eight hours per night,
and then of course taking different nutrients, and we have a whole wide
variety of formulations that really zero in on the health of your brain. So
I'm going to talk about those products today and why they're so incredibly beneficial,
the science behind them, how they're actually working to improve upon your memory,
and you're focusing your attention and at the same time helping the body regulate its
stress response, and all of these things are very important. So I knowing
to take a quick break, so when I get back, I'm going to
zero in on the products that are definitely brain boosting and incredibly beneficial when it
comes to the health of your brain. So stick around you are listening to
Invite Health Radio. We will be right back and here's today's special. Buy

four one seventeen and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda
Williams here with you on this beautiful Saturday morning, supposed to get a little
hot, sticky, and some thunderstorms down here in South Florida. Not that
that's a surprise. Hence it's June, so this is much to be expected.
But we've been under a heat advisory all week. It's been incredibly hot,
you know, And I sit there and I think about all the folks
that work outdoors, and you just, you know, you hope that people
stay hydrated because it is just darn hot. And it gets hot up there
in New York too, so you know, you have to always be wise,
make sure that you are staying hydrated. All of these things definitely matter.
So let's talk about brain health, and let's talk about resveratrol. I
think risveratrol is one of the most interesting supplements out there. Obviously, you
know, when we first started learning about risveratrol so many decades ago, it
was really in that setting of anti aging. Well, clearly we should look
at brain as something that we want to have anti aging effects with, right,
But it's amazing how many clinical research trials have been conducted with risveratrol outside
of that setting of extending lifespan. And we know that It does that through
helping the end caps of your chromosomes, helps to protect those so if those
get beat up, dinged up, they start to shrink. So if they're
shrinking, that means that the cell itself is losing function. If it loses
function, then it's eventually just going to die off. So hence this is
why you get that acceleration in aging. We don't want that. We want
to be able to age very gracefully and slow that aging process down. So
there's i think over sixteen thousand clinical research trials that have been conducted on resveratrol.
So if you go through the National Institute of Health and you're just researching,
you know everything about resveratrol. I mean, there's just a wealth of
information out there when it comes to risveratral. So they started to look at
it in the setting of cardiovascular health, when it came to cardio metabolic conditions
including diabetes, even in the setting of arthritis, and clearly when it came
to its ability to blunt the effects of aging in the brain. And we
oftentimes refer to resveratral kind of as like a little housekeeper. It goes in
and it can help to declutter so if we have a lot of cobwebs per
se in the brain, this can be incredibly problematic because clouds everything up and
this is where we have those issues when it comes to focus, attention,
and recall. So we know that if we're taking a high quality, high
potent resveratral extract that this does wonders when it comes to the way that the
brain is responding in periods of stress throughout our life, as well as just
to combat the normal aging process itself. So it is far beyond that of
just that protection of those end caps. We can clearly see its benefit throughout
the entire body. Support for skin health, joint health, bone health,
brain health, lung health, and you name it. Risveratral has been studied
in that setting and shown to be highly effective. Now what's interesting is not
all resveratrals are created the same, and the main constituent of resveratrol that packs
such a powerful punch is the trans resveratrol. Now we offer an incredibly powerful
riserveratrol formulation. We have our reserveratral HX, but we also have the resveratral
max and the resveratral max. When Jerry Hikey formulated this many years ago.
I was like, wow, you know this is this is really a great
product because not only was our reseratral hx already at the top of the line.
And I remember when I came on board to Invite Health many years ago
and I saw this formulation that Jerry did, I was like, wow,
this rosveratral x. It's a liquid, which is great because resveratrol is very
prone to breaking down just in the manufacturing process because it's it's kind of it's
very finicky, so if it's exposed to air, for example, different levels
of humidity, it can break down quite quite easily. So Jerry, you
know, being a firm's this very well aware of this. And so this
is why our riseratraal Atax as well as the reserveratral max are in a liquid
form and they're made in a very controlled environment so they're not exposed to light
or to oxygen, which can degrade that trans rasveratrol you lose its potency.
So this is why not all resveratrals are created the same. Clearly because you
can walk into many stores now, many vitamin places, and you can find
reserveratrol. But you're going to have to take a lot of that resveratrol to
be able to potentiate the same benefits that we see in these different clinical trials.
So when Jerry said, you know what, I'm gonna take risveratral atax
and I'm gonna supercharge this. I'm gonna make this even stronger, and I
was like, Hey, I'm all about that because both of us understanding the
power of what riseratraals actually doing for the entire body. So our reseratral max
is giving you two hundred milligrams two hundred milligrams of trans resveratrol, which is
the highest amount of transrasveratral I have ever seen in a formulation. It is
also giving you the OPCs from grape seed extract, so we're getting that circulatory
support as well, which is key because we know that we have to have
good circulation, good blood flow into the brain. And then it's also containing
corsitin. So this is really wonderful because we know that there's a lot of
detrimental neurotoxins out there that create a lot of the inflammation in the brain and
can hinder our brain's ability to function properly. So in one simple capsule.
You are getting this high potent transversveratral partnered up with the illegal merit proanthocynodins from
the grape seed extract along with the corsetin. So it's just a powerhouse for
not just brain health, but for cardiovascular health and beyond. And I oftentimes
always go back to the study that they did back in twenty eighteen at LSU,
and this isn't brain health related, but it's just such a fascinating study.
I think it's well worth talking about whenever I can, and where the
researchers at LSU said, well, we need to find a way to allow
the heart to recover in a more expedient way after having a stent put in,
and we know that many Americans get cardiac stents put in every single year.
So what they did is they actually saturated the stents with resveratrol. And
in doing this, by delivering these powerful antioxidants during angioplasty and having the stent
that's just saturated with all of this reserveratral, they could see the increase in
terms of the healing time, but also the improved rate at which the blood
vessel itself and the surrounding tissue was healing itself. So I mean, it
just tells you the power of reserveratral So now we go back and we say,
okay, well, let's look at the reserveratral max, which has this
really high amount of the transverserveratral with the grape seed has the corsetin and it
also has MCT oil in this. And this is important because we know that
those medium chain triglycerides are a source of energy, a fuel source, a
direct fuel source for our brain. So by taking a capsule of the reserveratral
max, you're going to be super charging the brain's ability to declutter. So
does the housekeeping. It's helping to support the oxygenation in the blood flow to
the brain. It's targeting those neurotoxins that we're exposed to extrinsically from all the
different pollutants for example. And then we have the mct oil in this to
the mct oil initially was put in there to prevent any type of oxidation onegain
for another protective measure for that trans resveratrol, but MCT oil itself is a
facilitator for energy within the brain. So when people are using resveratrol max they're
like, yeah, my brain feels good and focused. And this is exactly
why we also have rosemary extract in this. We know that rosemary extract is
an excellent way to once again protect that trans resveratrol from any type of oxidation
from occurring. But it's also a wonderful way to regulate histamine. Now,
what's fascinating is that if we have excess his to me, most of the
time when people think about an antihistamine, you're thinking about sneezing and coughing and
all the allergy symptoms that can arise from having excess histamine. But we know
that just like the chronic release of histamine in the body, and this can
be coming from you know, foods that you're eating if the body's having a
hard time metabolizing. There's a particular enzyme called dimine oxidase and that's in the
intestines. So if you have a lot of inflammation that's occurring in the intestines,
sometimes the body can start to build up excess histamine. And this can
present in many different ways. For some folks, maybe they get kind of
itchy skin, for others, maybe they sneeze a lot. But for others
it maybe in the setting of brain fog, so that histamine is crossing that
blood brain barrier and it's creating these issues. So having the rosemary in this
as well helps with that regulation of histamine. So now it's like, wow,
okay, so this is giving you the MCT oil for the energy.
You got rosemary to combat any histamine that's creating havoc in the brain. And
of course you're getting that two hundred milligrams of trans resveratrol. So this is
what makes this formulation so incredibly unique. Now we have it, it's baby
brother and that's resveratrol HX, and that was our original resveratrol formulation. Still
incredibly popular. So many folks have used this product and have found it to
be so helpful when it comes to just that overall sense of well being.
And the resveratrol HX is once again it's this partnership of the transrasveratral along with
the grape seed extract along with the corsetin. So in the resveratral HX you're
getting one hundred milligrams of transrasveratrol. So it's still very very powerful, and
this once again has that protect coming from that rosemary extract, and this is
just a really great way for folks to get this comprehensive benefit that goes along
with risveratral. As I mentioned, there's sixteen thousand studies on risveratrol, and
we can see that when individuals are using this, maybe they're taking it because
they want to target brain health. Maybe folks are taking this because they're like,
hey, I know that this is very beneficial when it comes to my
circulatory system. And we know this this is coming from the French paradox,
which is, you know, one of the claims to fames once again for
trans rasveratrol is, hey, how is it that people in France have,
you know, substantially higher protective markers in the body compared to Americans. So
it's like, well, let's look at the diet and their consumption of high
trans risveratrol foods is much greater than you have here in the United States.
So we know that the reserveratral itself leads us down this path where it helps
with the regulation of different markers for inflammation. It can down regulate things like
NF cappa beta, which really drives a lot of excessive inflammation throughout the cardiovascular
system, but also with neuroinflammation as well. And we always want to be
able to protect our brain cells from any form of ox dative stress or inflammation
so that the longevity effect of our brain remains, so we can stay focused,
we can have good attention, we can have good recall. So I'm
going to talk a little bit more about some of the other products that I
have on special today, but I do need to squeeze in a quick break.

hundred four four one seventeen seventy and welcome back Invite Health Radio. I am
doctor Amanda Williams. Happy Saturday morning to all of you out there. Hopefully
your weekend is off to a good start. Sounds like the weather is cool
operating it with you that you guys have the the smoke free skies. And
this is another thing too, thinking about Risveratral's the respiratory benefits, and I
was thinking about that when I saw how much horrible you know, air pollution
was occurring there and in New York. You just have to be cognizant in
the city. We know that, you know, high levels of air pollutants
exist. Most time, I always say, you don't see it, you
don't smell it. Maybe you're just so used to the smell of exhaust and
coming from cars and busses and all that that you you're just unbenounced to you.
Hey, I'm just you know, breathing this in every single day.
But we know that the resveratrol max as well as the resveratraal HX would be
really good options for that respiratory support as well. The long term effects of
resveratrol supplementation when it comes to cognitive function are you know, clearly noted through
so many different clinical research trials in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition back in twenty
twenty one, so this is fairly recent. They actually were looking at the
use of resveratrol in post menopausal women. Now, the reason why this study
and I bring this study up post menopausal women. I always say they get
the double whammy effect, and that is as estrogen levels start to plummet,
this creates an imbalance and so many things. This is why post menopausal woman,
as soon as that estrogen starts to go down, you see an uptick
in bone loss and you also see an uptick in cardiovascular risk. So estrogen
has very protective roles for women. And another aspect of this comes down to
cognitive function. And so for many women who go through menopause, sometimes they
complain a lot about brain fog, and they'll go in and they'll talk to
their doctrine. Their doctors like, ah, you're just stressed out here.
Take this ant high depress and it's like, oh no, no, we're
missing the mark here. This is not where the issue is. We're talking
about hormonal imbalances that are driving all of these symptomatic effects. So this was
a twenty four month randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial. So half
of the women in the group were given risveratrol every day for two years,
and half of the women were given placebo, and they were looking at their
improvement of overall cognitive performance over this trial. And what was really fascinating was
to see how fast. So mind you, this was a twenty four month
trial, but they're assessing these clinical outcomes along the course of this trial,
and they were seeing this significant improvement in cognitive performance. They were looking at
memory, they were looking at recall. The enhanced cognition that was occurring in
the group of women taking risveratrol was so markedly higher than the placebo group.
They were looking at these cerebral vascular functions. So remember that blood flow aspect
into the brain. And this is why at the conclusion of this twenty four
months they said, m we think risveratral here can you know, really potentiate
a lot of cognitive benefits and even reduce the risk of dementia. So there's
just another point to be noted when it comes to the power of resveratrol.
Now we have another formulation, and this is one that I really enjoy talking
about, and that is the Purple's HX. I like the Purple's HX for
a variety of different reasons. One to me the taste and the way in
which doctor Pressman formulated this product so many years ago. It really packs this
wonderful punch of powerful antioxidants. But the taste of it is so wonderful.
And so this is why we always want to zero in on what we can
be taking every day. Instead of turning to something like a cranberry juice or
a grape juice in the morning, or an apple juice or an orange juice,
we can look at the Purple's HX and we can say, well,
hey, this is packed with all of these you know, blue and purple
pigmented fruits and vegetables. It also has this wonderful amino acid blend in it
to help super charge up all of ourselves. And when we look at the
vascular benefits that go along with the Purple's HX, this is why I turned
to this one so often say. I always say, hey, if you
want to start your day off with incredible cellular support, take one scoop of
Purple's X, add that to some water, and you are off to the
races. Your blood vessels are going to be happier, your brain is going
to be happier. It really is a comprehensive cardiovascular as well as cerebral vasqueular
formulation. And the science behind how these different anthocyanins that are in this formulation
are working, once again, have been so well studied looking at studies on
blueberry extract, BlackBerry extract, black cherry extract, which are all included in
the Purple's HX. It also contains other wonderful extracts such as beetroot extract.
And certainly we know that beat root extract helps to enhance nitric oxide production.
So the higher amount of nitric oxide equals better vasodilation. So if we have
vasodilation, what does that mean for us well, vasodilation is going to allow
for better blood flow, so we're getting optimal blood flow to the entire body,
including to the brain. So you have all these wonderful extracts that are
in this formulation along with touring, along with carnatines. Remember carnatine, that's
an energy producing amino acid, wonderful for muscle health, for your heart,
and of course for your brain. And then it has touring, and we
know touring is kind of that key amino acid that's so often overlooked in the
body in terms of its clinical relevance and its importance what it's doing to actually
allow for the connections within the brain as well as the regulation of heart function
every single day. So the combination of having carnentine and touring really does allow
this particular formulation, the Purple's HX to have this intense way to support not
only the health of your heart, but really in particular looking at brain health,
I oftentimes default to to a study that was done with blueberry extract and
how the utilization of blueberry X really was profound in terms of how it allowed
for better oxygenation and blood flow once again to the brain. This was a
randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial that was conducted in twenty seventeen published
in the Nutritional Neuroscience Journal. What was fascinating about this study on blueberry extracts.
This is why I always tie this into Purple's HX, because we're looking
at a high amount of blueberry extract in this formulation. This was done via
functional MRIs, and what a functional MRI is doing is it is testing in
real time the brain's response to a key ingredient. So and they do this
with pharmaceutical agents too, but in this particular study, they gave these individuals
who were over the age of sixty eight years old. They gave them blueberry
extract, just dried blueberry extract, had them drink this, and then they
put them into the MRI machine and then they were looking at brain activity.
And what was incredibly fascinating about this particular study was that the blueberry extract allowed
for these areas in the brain for recall, for focus, attention, to
really start to have this just profound neronal connection once again. And so when
you're taking the Purple's HX, you can think about this study and be like,
hey, you know, if they were putting me into an MRI machine
right now, my brain would be lighting up. And this is a wonderful
thing. And we always want to be able to choose different products that we
can incorporate into our routine, especially during the summer. We want to zero
in on our hydration. We want to make sure that we are doing the
right things when it comes to staying hydrated, and taking the Purple's HX as
an excellent choice as opposed to using a sports rank or some type of soda.
And don't kid yourself if it's called diet soda, it's not somehow healthier.
It's actually worse for you. There's a study that was conducted. Remember
working with a preventive medicine doctor many years ago, and I kept telling her
because she would tell her her diabetic patients, oh, yeah, it's fine,
you can drink diet soda. And I'm like, no, no,
no, no, no, no no no, this is gonna worsen their
insulin resistance, Like this is not good. So finally I pulled a study
and I said, okay, look at this study. Please read through this
study, and it showed that individuals who were drinking diet soda one can of
diet soda daily, and I think that they track these folks over the course
of six months that their rate of insulin resistance was significantly higher than those that
were drinking regular soda. And so she was like, oh wow, I
did. I didn't ever realize the artificial sweeteners were that bad. I'm like,
uh, yeah, it's called artificials. So if it's called artificial,
we should not be putting it into our system. So hopefully, you know,
many years later, she is not telling any of her diabetic patients to,
yeah, go ahead and drink that diet soda because we know not so
great. So the Purple's Ax nonetheless incredibly powerful antioxidant blend partnered up with that
carntine along with the touring, and anything we can do to enhance our brain
function every day, anything that we can do to enhance the circulatory system is
something that we should be definitely looking at. So even if you don't take
it every day. I always tell folks, you know, with some of
our powdered formulations, whether it be the red Zchex or the Green's Chex or
the Purples, even if you're not taking them every day, if you take
them two or three times out of the week. Trust me, that's much
better than not taking them at all. And but if you are taking the
Purple's HX every day, you just know you're like, Okay, this is
great for my heart, great for my brain. Now. I talked about
this a couple of weeks ago when I was with you, and that was
our brand new Memory Multi vitamin. So the Memory Multi vitamin is definitely very
nice to have on board as your daily multi vitamin. It is a comprehensive
multivitamin, multimineral complex, so it's our core multi vitamin. So it has
your natural vitamin E, it has those keylated minerals for optimal absorption. You
get the activated B vitamins, you get co enzyme Q ten. So I
can go on and on and on about just our core multi vitamin. So
this is what the Memory Multi is. It's the core multi but then it's
enhanced and it contains genko belobo, it has lodosed lithium, and it has
coaling in the form of CDP coaling also known as city cooling. And so
these three nutrients work synergistically together for optimal brain health every day. So we
talk about that brain aging effect and we want to be able to protect the
brain from accelerated aging. Having this combination of a very powerful multivitamin multimineral partnered
up with these three nutrients that genko Belobo, which is so well studied when
it comes to cerebral vascular support, having the lithium, which has been very
well studied when it comes to an aging brain, and helping with focus and
attention, and of course because it's a trace mineral, we're also getting other
benefits it's outside of that of just brain health. Also very beneficial when it
comes to the health of your bones. So this is just one of those
side benefits that goes along with this product. And then you have the CDP
calling so we're helping to support healthy memory and recall. We're really encouraging the
synthesis of those key neurotransmitters, the things that make us feel good, things
like serotonin for example, and supporting just overall memory function and mood by taking
this daily multivitamin. Now, there's a very interesting study that just came out
on multivitamins, and I want to share that with you, but I do
need to squeeze in one more break, So stick around with me, folks.

number again is eight hundred four four one seventeen seventy and welcome back to Invite
Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams talking about the Memory multi vitamin,
our brand new formulation that contains the Ginko beloba so well studied for its ability
to enhance healthy blood flow to the brain, very powerful anti accidents and helps
to even fight off any of those free radicals that start to build up and
accumulate. We know that the lithium is working wonders when it comes to the
clearance of crud as I like to say that builds up. One of the
things that we know lithium can do is it inhibits the activity of this enzyme
known as glycogen synthase kinase three. So that's a big long word, but
the glycogen synthase kindase three, we know that one that's overactive in the body.
It creates a lot of problems in terms of accelerating our aging process.
So we want to be able to tamper that down. We know that the
lithium helps to do that. So the Memory multivitem and incredibly comprehensive. Having
that CDP coline in that you partner that up with our krill oil advance,
you get an extra boost of coline because that has the phosphatidal coline. In
that I do have the krill oil Advanced on special today. As you know
the importance of omega three's each day as part of your supplementation routine incredibly important.
We use a very high potent, clean sourced antarctic krill, so when
you look at the spectrum of what's actually contained in our kuryll oil, you're
actually getting a very high amount of those total omega three fatty acids along with
that naturally occurring phospho lipid known as phosphatital coline. So that helps to make
a ceo cooline which is great for memory. And then it also contains naturally
occurring as to xanth and that key carotenoid that supports your eye health as well
as brain health. So the krill oil Advanced should be part of a daily
supplementation routine. If you're not doing that, then using fish oil obviously,
But we definitely always want to zero in on this. So I had mentioned
that there was a new study talking about the use of multivitamin multimineral formulation.
This was published in the Nutrients Journal, and they were zeroing in on men
which is interesting. Tomorrow's Father's Day and they said that older men need more
nutritional content that their diet is not providing them. So I looked at this
kind of in a sense with a grain of salt, because I was like,
well, everybody needs more nutrients than what their diets providing. Even if
you're eating healthy, you're still going to be likely falling shy on key nutrients.
But nonetheless, they they took a group of men over the age of
sixty five years old, and they had half of the group not take anything,
and the other group was taking a multi vitamin multimineral supplementation. And what
was fascinating about this is they were having them assess their food intake, so
keeping a little food diary, and then they looked at all of these different
indicators for cell health and for inflammation in the body, and they found that
the individuals who were taking the multivitamin multimineral complex each day had significant improvements on
their nutritional biomarkers. So they were even looking at vitamin status, clearly the
mineral status, but also looking for those markers for inflammation, and they said
that there's definitely a connection between vitamin status and the way in which the body
is responding to inflammation. So it just kind of goes without saying a multivitamin
multimineral should be added into anyone's daily routine, regardless of your age, regardless
of what your health concerns may be. And so it's just really identifying which
one of the health multi vitamins is most suited for me. And this is
when you want to speak with one of our nutritionists so that you are taking
the right nutrients for your specified needs. The memory multivitamin definitely is kind of
one of those really comprehensive ways to address those underlying concerns. So, like
I said, if you have a lot of stress in your life and you
feel like that stress is affecting your cognitive ability, then you want to be
taking that memory multivitamin. We want to make sure that the cells of the
body are getting nourished with all of those key vitamins and minerals and then enhanced
with that ginkobloba, enhanced with that lithium, so we can get rid of
that crud. We can help to support good blood flow to the brain,
good oxenation to the brain. We're supporting the actual cell membrane with that CDP
coaling in that that very important membrane. Fat kind of takes me back.
You have the fat brain line, you have the skinny brain line. So
part of what helps us stay in that fat brain line is our omega three
fatty acids. Are taking Krill Oil Advanced and also taking that memory multivitamin which
contains that CDP colling. So it's a very powerful way to address some of
those things trouble focusing. Maybe you're just feeling just mentally fatigued, and that's
a big concern that a lot of people will come in and talk to about,
Like I just feel like my brain is tired. So if you're having
these issues, the Memory multivitamin so easy to take. Everything is in one
simple packet and it is a powerhouse plush. You get those activated B vitamins,
which are also incredibly beneficial when it comes to neurotransmitter production for cellular detoxication.
So anything that we can do to declutter the body, remove any harsh
toxins, and at the same time create an environment that we have better neuronal
connection is always a good avenue that we want to travel down. Now,
finally I have something that's not necessarily in the scope or the realm of brain
health, but definitely very important. And so since tomorrow's Father's Day and there's
a lot of dad's out there, grandfather's out there, Oh, maybe complain
a bit about, you know, having some knee pains, some hip pain,
maybe their shoulder is sore, whatever be the case. The hyaluronic acid
and Devil's Claw extract I have that on special because we know that hyaluronic acid
is a very important substance found within the connective tissue. So when we're looking
at the joint spaces and that synovial fluid that's that gel like cushioning that's made
up of hyaluronic acid, we know that just through aging process, wear and
tear, that that synovial fluid can start to lose its ability to protect the
joints from that impact. So by taking hyaluronic acid with Devil's Claw, this
really allows the body a better means to be able to protect from further damage
and having the Devil's Claw extract and that really zeroes in on the discomfort and
that's usually what most people are complaining about. You know, if someone has
a swollen knee but there's no pain associated with it, well, yeah,
it may bother them that their knee is swollen, but that's not what they're
complaining about. So we have to always look at the pain aspect, and
we know that this is what drives most people to seek out different options when
it comes to arthritis. So the hyaluronic acid and Devil's claw combination is a
very good way for you to address these concerns. So maybe you do get
up in the morning and you feel like you've got that stiff knee. Maybe
you're going up a flight of stairs, or you're getting in your car and
you have to drive and commute to work and you go to get out of
the car and you're like, oh gosh, I'm all stiff. If this
is you, if you're hearing that where you know some one who experiences that
highaluronic acid and devil's claw is a really great way to help lubricate the joints,
so creates that nice slippery effect and that's what we want. And then
you have the Devil's claw, which is so incredibly impressive. And University of
Maryland I remember reading years ago they kind of went through and they were explaining
what devil's claw is and this powerful way in which the act of constituents that
are coming from the Devil's claw was used to treat pain, to zero in
on liver health conditions, kidney problems, and they said it was used for
hundreds of years and in particular in Europe, they were finding that individuals would
use the dried root extract coming from the Devil's claw for so many aspects of
inflammatory conditions and issues with pain. So we look at arthritic pain and that's
what most people will complain about. Having this Devil's claw partnered up with that
lubricating highaluronic acid is a really excellent way for us to be able to health
support the joint. And this is a clear reason why when people start using
this product, they use that hyaluronic acid with the Devil's claw, they're like
wow, like this is really wonderful. And the side benefit that goes along
with this product, remember there's always a side benefit. The side benefit is
the enhanced improvement that you will see in your skin. So if you look
in the mirror and you're like, oh goodness, I have more fine lines
and wrinkles, where are these things coming from? First, we want to
make sure we're taking our collagen and our vitamin C, but we also want
to look at highaluronic acid because we want to allow for good hydration and that
plumping effect to occur. So taking this, maybe you're taking it specifically because
you have a lot of knee painter, you have shoulder painter, you have
tennis elbow, but understanding that this is also going to make its way into
the system to allow for better hydration and appearance of the skin. And another
interesting thing about the Devil's Claw as a just a point to make as a
side benefit, also very beneficial when it comes to regulation of appetite because it's
working within the hormone pathway with grillin and in the Close one journal they talked
about this. So once again side benefit, you're taking this hyaluronic acid with
Devil's Claw. It's helping to support joint health, skin health, but also
for metabolism as well. So what over quite a few things today, what's
on special Risveratrol max, Risveratrol HX, the Purple's HX, Kryl Oil,
Advanced Memory Multi and the hyaluronic acid with Devil's Claw. If you happen to
have questions for me, certainly reach out to me a Williams at invite health
