Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional science today right here, right now. Hello,
and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda William, Scientific
director at Invite Health, and I've got wonderful news to share with everyone,
and that is that our Independence Day sale has started, so we're having a
buy one, get one free sale. This is I always say the time
that you want to stock up on your favorite Invite Health formulations, but at
the same time, maybe try something new. We have so many formulations that
we have introduced into our product line this year, and so I definitely encourage
you to check some of those out. So we have our two brand new
multi vitamins. We have the Immunity multi vitamin, which keep in mind it's
always good to stay on top of your immune system throughout the year. It's
not something that we should just think about during the colder months. I know
that we're into summer now, but we should always be concerned about our immune
system and making sure that we have the best immune defenses. So taking the
Immunity multi vitamin each day very good idea. It has a wonderful blend of
elderberry extract along with nucleotide complexes. So in nucleotide complexes, that's like right
up my alley. Because I love genetics and I was always fascinated. Back
in undergraduate, I took a genetics course and I was hooked. I was
like, I love this. I love the science of it. It's so
incredible fascinating to me. And that's kind of right when the Human Genome Project
was getting ready to to, you know, grow legs and take off.
So having a formulation that contains ribonucleotides, to me, is so incredibly fascinating.
And to understand how those ribonucleotides are actually working to enhance our immune system,
it's really quite spectacular, one could say, but the way it's actually
working. So you take the Immunity multivitamin which contains those nucleotides, and it
works in a way to kind of communicate this positive effect within your intestines.
It goes in and it's like, hey, we need to you know,
strengthen ourselves up. We need to kick the bad guys out, and we
need to be you know, very powerful just in the event that there's a
cold or some type of a bacterial and that comes across our system. We
want to be able to fight this off. And so having the immunity multivitamin
and take that every day, a comprehensive multi vitamin multimineral with all of those
other added nutrients, having the full spectrum Vitamin E and that having the carotenoid
blend. It's just a really great way to kick off your day. And
then you get those two added nutrients, you get the elderberry extract on top
of getting those ribonucleotides, which really give the immune system a fighting shot,
let's just say, and then we have our memory multi vitamin. I'm super
duper excited about that one because I have so many individuals who come to me
on a regular basis, maybe they call me or they send me an email,
and they have concerns. They have concerns about their brain, and you
should have concerns about your brain, but maybe you feel like you're dealing with
cobwebs. I always say, do you feel like your brain is a little
cluttered up? If so, the memory multi vitamin is going to be that
go to multi that you want to be using. It's a wonderful combo once
again of having that full spectrum vitamin and mineral complex, having the vitamin E,
those carotenoids once again to help fend off blue light coming from your light
emitting devices like your cell phone, but also it really is very beneficial when
it comes to brain health. Those carotenoids we know are very effective when it
comes to the way that the brain itself is aging. So but then we
add into this multi vitamin ginko beloba so to enhance the actual circulation and oxygenation
into the brain pretty important. And then it has lithium in it. We
know lithium does an amazing job when it comes to clearing clutter. So if
you've got a cluttered brain, we want to be able to remove that clutter,
and we can certainly see how lithium potentiates its action and doing that.
It's it's just once again, it's to me, I love the science of
it, standing that there are different enzymes that are naturally occurring in the body
that sometimes their overactivity or their lack of activity can create problems for us.
And we certainly see this to be the case. An overactivity of glycogen scinthase
kindase three. That can be your word of the day. Maybe you're going
to a fourth of July barbecue and you can say, yes, you know,
my old glycogen scinthase kinase three enzyme is a little overactive. But at
any event, we know that if we have an overactivity of this specific enzyme,
it creates problem. It's going to accelerate the aging process of your brain
cells. We don't want that to happen. So taking low dose lithium actually
can inhibit that overactivity, and in doing so it can help to clear the
brain of any excess sludge that's been building up. And where does that sludge
come from, Well, we can look at a multitude of different ways to
which that sludge can build up. Stress, folks, that's a huge one.
So stress does our brain no justice. But we also can look at
you know, foods, other environmental you know, toxins that we're exposed to.
Everyone's kind of been dealing with the lovely Canadian smoke, so you know,
these are things that we have to be cognizant of. And you know,
with the Canadian smoke, just as an example, you can see that
you can smell that, but every other day there are pollutants in the air
and you're just not visually looking out and saying, oh, yeah, it
looks quite polluted today, but it's still out there. So we always want
to do what we can to offset that because we're not going to obviously probably
change the air quality, and that's an unfortunate thing. But what we can
do is we can make better choices each day to be able to fight that
off. So taking this memory multivitamin, which contains that low dose lithium,
it has the ginko to support the blood flow into the brain, and then
it has the CDP colin, which is a really fascinating way to get this
healthy fat into the brain to protect the brain structure. We want to maintain
brain volume as we grow older. We don't want our brains to shrink up,
so the CDP coline helps to do that. But it also hence the
name coline, So it works as a precursor to making a seal colinge,
and a cetal coling is our brain's primary neurotransmitter for memory. So you can
now see if you're taking that memory multi item and you're like, hey,
I'm getting this low dose lithium that goes in and declutters everything. I'm getting,
you know, really great support for the vascular system with that Ginko beloba,
and I'm getting the structural support coming from the coalinge with that side benefit
of that coaling being able to make additional acetal coling. So it's just hands
down, I'm just very very excited about that because there are you know,
this is one of those things where when it comes to your brain sometimes we
I don't know if it's a defense mechanism as humans, but we accept things
and will say, ah, you know, yeah, I do have a
lot of stress, and maybe that's why I forgot this or I dropped the
ball on this, But we shouldn't accept this because if you're already recognizing those
things, that's a pretty good indication that the brain itself is suffering this minute
damage every day, and so it's kind of that little clue to you.
So there are ways that we can offset this, that we can defend against
that, and taking a comprehensive daily multi item and that includes these nutrients as
an excellent way to really address this. And as I mentioned, it has
this wonderful full crotnoid blend in it, so you're getting lutine and xaxanthon.
We can see that both of those power crotenoids are not only just you know,
incredibly important for maintaining the health of our eyes and our vision as we
get older, to fight off as I mentioned, oxidative stress and UV damage,
but it's also very very helpful for brain health. And we can see
how levels of lutin and zeaxanthon within the retina. So when we're thinking about
the eye and we're thinking about the retina, that if we have low levels
of lutine and zeaxanthon occurring within the retina, then we are now dealing with
the likelihood that we've got very low lutine and zeaxanthon levels occurring in the brain
tissue. And that's a problem because we can now recognize that the levels of
those carotenoids are directly correlated to cognitive performance as well as for visual performance and
most folks have heard about, you know, age related macular degeneration, and
so we want to be able to fight that off. We don't want to
have a decline in our vision as we grow older. So we know that
the carotenoids are very helpful in protecting against that same thing with vitamin C.
Vitamin C manytimes, people think about that just for you know, cold and
flu season and need my vitamin C for that, But vitamin C is really
important when it comes to the protection for your retinal cells. So this is
why we always want to make sure that we're you know, at minimum taking
you know, a complete multivitamin multiminerals, so we get those exposures to those
key nutrans and those antioxidants. So it's very very important. And interestingly enough,
recently in the news has been some very interesting findings on crotenoids and why
crotenoids are so important. So we can look at a recent study that was
just published this week in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition looking at carotenoid levels in
the blood, so looking at serum carotenoid levels, So they're kind of going
through and saying, hey, how much lutine, how much zioxanthon is in
your system and directly correlating that to atherosclerosis. So you think about plaque build
up in your vessels. That's also not something that anyone should be striving to
achieve. But what they recognized was that those who had high consumption of foods
that contained a lot of carotenoids. So we're thinking in that spectrum of the
orange and yellow and red pigmented fruits and vegetables. So when you had a
high consumption of those, they had a less likely hood of having any type
of athl sclerosis. So that's pretty important. The way that the study was
designed was fascinating, and they took a group of type two diabetics, so
they're already at a much greater risk for developing the you know, hardening of
the arteries some people call it, or you know, the plaque build up
within the vessels. So with type two diabetics automatically increase risk for that cardiovascular
condition. So what they did is they said, let's just have these individuals
either be in a placebo group where they're just eating whatever they normally eat,
or let's put half of the group where they are adhering to a Mediterranean diet
and let's do this for two months, and then let's assess their serum carotenoid
levels, and then let's also do some scanning and look at levels of plaques.
And fascinating study that two months of the group that was eating the Mediterranean
in foods. So what does that mean? The higher consumption of fruits and
vegetables with those powerful crotenoids and antioxidants, they had this significant reduction when it
came to the plaque build up. So your foods matter, folks. I
will say that over and over and over. But we always have to start
with the foods and then we can build upon our health with adding in different
nutrients. So now you understand if you're taking one of our multivitamins. If
you know, during this sale you say, you know what, I'm gonna
try that Memory multivitamin or I'm gonna, you know, get the Performance multivitamin,
you now realize, Hey, not only am I getting all of these
powerful vitamins and minerals, but I'm also getting this crotenoid blend that has been
shown to be very helpful for you know, brain health, for heart health.
If we can be taking something that has been shown to lessen the impact
of plaque build up. We should probably be gravitating towards that, so I
have a lot more ground to cover, but I'm looking at the time.
I know I need to squeeze in a break, So stick around with me.

You know, it's fitting that the you know, the holiday weekends fall
when they do, so I'm sure that a lot of folks out there will
be celebrating Independence Day throughout this weekend and hopefully that you celebrate your health and
put your health at the forefront this holiday weekend. Make your way over to
it Invite Health location. We are open seven days weekend. We are actually
open on fourth of July as well, so definitely take advantage. We have
our new products as I mentioned, the memory Mall TIVI itemin the Immunity multivitamin.
And you know, with the holiday we should always I always say that,
you know, holidays are a time where you know, oftentimes people get
together. You have traditions, there's things that you you know, maybe do
every year. You go to a certain place and you watch fireworks or whatever
the case. May be, but you should always be thinking, you know,
what can I do to optimize my health? So in a year from
now, I'm at a better state of health than I am now. And
you know, being proactive in your own health, it's just it's really important.
You don't want to wait until things go you know, haywire and off
the track. You want to always try and be one step ahead. And
we know that there's so many things in our environment that we have to contend
with every single day. So if we make murder choices when it comes to
our diet. And I don't like the word diet because people hear the word
diet and they think losing weight. We just want to what's our food intake?
You know every day without being you know, calorie counter, How can
I eat healthier? And I always say summertime is the best time for you
to make those changes and modifications into your diet because it's much easier to have
access to fresh fruits and vegetables, So that's a plus. And we know
higher intake of fruits and vegetable beneficial for everything. So when you identify the
foods that you would want to be consuming to adhere to a Mediterranean style way
of eating. Of course, fruits and vegetables are going to be key to
this. I was actually having this conversation with my husband yesterday. I said,
you know, it's funny, I said, I, there's no way,
because we were watching TV and there was a commercial that came on and
it was it was for this you know, summer drink and it had you
know, ice cream and sugar sprinkled on the top, and I was like,
oh goodness, gracious. But I said to him, I said,
you know, it's funny because you know, maybe when I was on high
school or early into my college years, I would have probably been all over
that. But now I looked at it and almost like like, there's no
way. But I credit so much of that to, you know, obviously
finding my way into this world, going you know, into medical school,
and always having this desire to want to understand the full functionality of the body
and not wanting to just understand, oh, this person has this symptom and
this is the medication that you give them to try to you know, subside
the symptoms. I always wanted to understand more, and that's just kind of
how my brain works. I always wanted to see you know what can we
do better and take that more preventive approach. And in doing this, I
made modifications to my own diet because I was a bad eater, let's just
put it that way. But it wasn't different than probably most Americans and especially
most college students. But I made this change, and I feel so much
better. I have so much energy, And you know, I take my
supplements on a regular basis. I do a lot of you know, changing
up of my supplements because I like to play around with different things. Like
sometimes I'll be like this week, I'm taking my grape seat extract and next
week I'm taking my risveratral, So I do change things up, but I
always have a consistent daily routine that I do, which includes, you know,
having the complete multivitamin multimineral, my omega three fatty acids, so taking
fish oil every day, taking my vitamin D, magnesium co ens im Q
ten hands down every single day. Those are going to be on my routine,
and then I play around with some of the other different supplements based on
just whatever my brain navigates towards for the week. But I really do.
I feel so much better and I have such energy now and I sleep really
good, and I do I credit that to the foods that I am consuming
and then enhancing that taking that to a whole nother level through dietary supplementation.
So you know, if folks ever, you know, feel like a little
bit like embarrassed, like, oh man, I've been going to fast food
four days out of the week, I don't want to go over to invite
health and tell them this by all means, come in talk to us.
We've all been there, so we're not the in the judgment zone. I
always like to put that out there. We are there too to help guide
you through the process of getting healthy and staying healthy. But nonetheless, we're
having our fourth of July sale and it really is a great time to to
try out some of the newer formulations that we have. You know, just
over the course of this last year, we've introduced quite a few formulations for
about a year and now we've had our probiotic weight out and that is an
excellent formulation with the Biffido bactrum breve B three and that really helps to optimize
and support the way that the intestine work to give our metabolism a better shot
at dealing with the day to day stressors that can influence our metabolic right and
it creates this lovely balance, this homeostasis within the microbiome to promote healthy weight
loss. And then that's partnered up with the artichoke extract and the Bergamont fruit
extract, which initially we're studied in the setting of liver health and for so
many folks who are dealing with fatty liver disease, which is a major problem
certainly, and we know it's food induced. The ultra process foods and that
standard American diet is what drives so much of the chronic disease states that we
deal with in this country. And you certainly continue to see this uptick of
individuals who are diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver to ease. So the bergemont
extract and the artichoke that combination, this is the way that they were initially
studied. They said, okay, let's partner these two things up and let's
they're extracts because once again, we think about Mediterranean style way of eating,
we think artichokes, we think about those, you know, citrus fruits.
So they partner these two extracts and they were giving it to individuals who had
fatty liver disease, and they wanted to assess. They're like, okay,
if we give them the bergamot and the artichoke, is this going to make
an impact in terms of liver clearance? Meaning is the liver going to start
to you know, clean itself up and we get better, you know,
transport of cholesterol to improve lipid profiles. And indeed this is what they found.
But interestingly enough, in these studies that were conducted, not only did
they see an improvement in the liver enzymes and the cholesterol levels beginning to improve,
but these individuals started to lose weight. They're like, huh, and
because once again we're starting to create this normalization of the pathway for how the
body needs to function, and in doing that, these folks were losing weight.
So we on our end and invite health. We said, okay,
well, we know that bifido bactrum breve a B three, the strain of
probiotic, this very powerful bacteria. We can find a high amount of this
in individuals who are of normal weight. But yet if you take people who
are overweight or categorized as obese, you can't find this bacteria in their system.
So that tells us something in the science world. That tells us Okay,
so this one single strain of bacteria has the ability to somehow interact within
our system, within our own internal environment, to promote healthy metabolism and to
promote weight loss. So it's only fitting that we say, well, we've
got these two things over here that we're used in folks who had non alcoholic
fatty liver disease and it cleaned up their livers and improved their liver function,
and in turn they lost weight. And then we've got this bacteria over here
that can help to potentiate weight loss. Let's partner those two things together,
put it into a capsule, bring it to you so you can get all
of those benefits when it comes to liver detoxication and for healthy weight loss.
So that's the probiotic Weight also have the probiotic for women, which launched this
year as well, And that is something I always like to point out,
just because on the label it says probiotic Women, does not mean that men
cannot use this formulation. It has four strains of Lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is the
most common bacteria found within the eurogenital tract in both men and women, so
not just for women. So men, you have a high amount of these
bacteria too to try and keep everything healthy. And then this is partnered with
garlic and time. So when we're thinking about women's health, we know that
women are more prone to developing both bacterial and candida overgrowth issues, so bacterial
vaginosis and yeast infections. So we know that the combination of garlic and time
have been shown to be very effective. They've actually studied garlic in time extracts
compared to metronitisol, which is the commonly prescribed medication for women who are experiencing
these imbalances of yeast or with bacterial vaginosis, and they could see how the
garlic in time was just as effective. So this is why the probiotic and
contains that. Now for men, let's just say, you're like, you
know what I've had repeat, you know, urinary tract infections, I've got
it, prostatitis. What should I be using probiotic women? Like I said,
get over the fact that it says women on it. It's still going
to be very beneficial because we know that the garlic in the time will help
to ease the inflammation within the prostate and at the same time same time we're
laying down healthy lactovicillous to promote optimal urinary health in men. So that's an
excellent formulation. Definitely check that one out, especially for anyone you know,
men or women who have had a history of repeat urinary tract infections. This
is kind of that go to product that you want to be utilizing in your
daily routine. Now that can also be partnered up with cranberry extract. We
know that the cranberry extract that we offer does an excellent job at creating I
always say like a slippery slope within the urinary bladder. The slipperier it is,
the harder it is for bacteria to adhere to the bladder wall and create
problems aka a urinary tract infection. So if we're taking cranberry extract, which
contains powerful antioxidants and demanos, this will create this slippery slope. And once
we do that, the bacteria just kind of slough off because they can't hook
on and they get frustrated. And that's okay. They can get frustrated and
they can leave town. But we don't want them to set up shop in
our bladder. So if you have a history of urinary tract infections, you
definitely want to speak with one of our nutritionists and get on a maintenance type
of a routine, a maintenance supplementation routine to create an environment in your system
where it's going to be much more difficult for those bacteria to create havoc within
your urinary tract. So we've got a lot of different formulations that are geared
towards, you know, specific health concerns, and we have a lot of
our formulations where clearly they come with a multitude of side benefits. So maybe
you're taking you know, cranberry extract because you have concerns about bladder health,
but not maybe realizing that that cranberry extract is also very beneficial for digestive health.
And for folks maybe who have had a history of H. Pylori infections,
which is the bacteria that likes to set up shop in your stomach.
That's not a good bacteria, folks. We'd never want to be dealing with
H. Pylori because what that does is it eats away the lining of your
stomach, creating ulcers and can lead to gaster cancer. So we know that
the use of cranberry extract as that same concept in the stomach, it'll create
that slippery slope. So it makes it very difficult for that H. Pylori
to addhere to the lining of the stomach and create that havoc um. But
if you are one of those folks where maybe you have a lot of belching
a lot of bloating, you always want to rule out that H. Pylori
is creating this because if it is a H. Pylori infection, you definitely
want to take the appropriate steps to you know, going in talking to your
doctor, getting on the right medications to you know, have the initial clearance,
and then making sure that you're doing the right things moving forward to avoid
the that from reoccurring. So I have more things that I need to to
talk about today as I go on and on and on, but I do
need to squeeze in a quick break, So stick around with me. You

Folks. It's July first, Isn't that just exciting you? Know what
today is. Today is Canada's Independence Day, so it's Canada Day growing up
in Detroit, and they still do it to this day. But they would
have like kind of the combined holidays, so combining Fourth of July with the
Canadian Independence Day and they do this wonderful fireworks display on the Detroit River.
It's it's just it was always so much fun. And so either you'd go
down to downtown Detroit and you'd be on the Detroit side, or you know,
if you were adventurous, you you would head over, you know,
go across the Ambassador Bridge over into Windsor, Ontario, or you can take
the tunnel, which I never liked the tunnel. I'll be the first one
to admit that it just gave me the creeps. Um didn't like going under
the river. I know that up there in New York you have the same
thing. I just am not into tunnels, but that's my own personal thing.
And put me on a bridge, I'll be okay. But we used
to go over to Windsor a lot, and that was really nice because then
you could look across the river over into Detroit and see the pretty skyline.
But the fireworks display was so cool, and they would do different fireworks where
they would have one where it would come up as a Canadian maple leaf,
which was to me, I don't know, it's just kind of cool.
And I have so many relatives that are, you know, from Canada.
I always felt like I have a little Canadian connection there. But nonetheless that
is today Today is the Canadian Independence Day. And you know what today also
is. Today is the first day of the Tour de France. So if
you are a fan of watching cycling, Tour de France just started today and
my husband's watching that right now. We love watching it. Not because we're
big bikers. We're not, but to watch the Tour de France, I
mean to see the level of athleticism of these guys who are out there biking
is first and foremost amazing. But I love watching it because the scenery.
I mean to see where they are biking through all of these beautiful little towns
and villages, and it's just the scenery alone, to me, is well
worth watching. So if you can take it in, if you've never watched
the Tour de France, definitely by all means. So it started today and
it goes all the way to the twenty third. So it's a long,
long race, but I mean, you think about it. They start today
in Spain and then they'll end up, you know, going all the way
through France and they end up in Paris for the for the final leg.
But it's really quite fascinating. And we've got some Americans, you know,
folks who are in the Tour de France. So it's and here's another interesting
thing. You know, I had mentioned that today is the Canadian Independence Day.
Today's also marks one hundred years for the Tour de France. Actually,
no, one hundred and twenty years, because the first Tour de France was
nineteen oh three. So wow, you know, it's it's amazing. I
can only imagine what the roads were like then when they were biking. That
would be quite the beating up of the body. It's just really really quite
remarkable. Oh and today is one of my favorite singer's birthdays, so Blondie,
Debbie Harry. I remember going and seeing a Blondie concert so many years
ago and it still sticks with me. I just loved it, had so
much fun. I love Blondie. But I digress. Let's talk about health.
Let's talk about supplements folks, because we are having our sale, which
means all of our products are on spe shull, including all of the wonderful
Doctor Pressman formulations. And this is the time where you always want to try
something new, and we have so many different options now. I always talk
about in the summertime, this is a perfect way for you to try so
many of our power formulations because hydration, Okay, let me just state this.
Hydration is so important. We always want to make sure, especially during
the summer, that we stay hydrated. And it's just been kind of brutal,
you know, this intro into the summer for so many places throughout the
country with the heat, and you have to recognize that even if you're not
pushing it, even if you're not out there and you're like you know,
riding a bike or taking a run, you're still losing fluid in this heat.
So you know, it can be something as simple as you know,
maybe going from the subway back to your house, You're still going to be
having fluid loss because of the higher humidity. So staying hydrated is really very
important. And so I would say this is a great time to use some
of our powdered formulations get the oranges X the purple's HX for example. This
is a much better option than you know, sipping on a sports drink or
having a diet soda, which hopefully and if you diet soda drinkers paid attention
to the news this week, not that it should be breaking news. They've
been talking about aspartame for decades now, that it's a potential carcinogen, which
I mean, hello, the science kind of dictates that, but it's been
in the news again. M aspartame. You know that they put in diet
sodas. Is this something that I always tell folks. The best way to
figure this out. If it's artificial shall sweetener a synthetic artificial sweetener, you
shouldn't be putting it into your body. The name alone tells you this is
the same problem when you look at ultra processed foods, all of those strange
chemicals. That's what do you think that the body is supposed to do with
that? Our bodies? Like, what in the world is that? I
have no idea what these chemicals are. What are we to do with them?
Let's just load them up into our liver, aka we end up with
our fatty liver disease, So we just have to make smurder choices. But
during the summer, you know, you can use a scoop of the Purple's
hax, add that in with six or eight ounces of water. Sip on
that you're getting all of those fruit and vegetable extracts that help to fight off
UV coming from the sun, helps to support your brain connectivity. Has the
blueberry extract in that no blueberries a powerhouse for brain health. So I think
this is when I talk about being proactive, that's what you want to think
about. You know, what can I do each day that's actually going to
jetty my health forward as opposed to you know, taking me steps backwards.
So we make this very easy at Invite health by having all of these different
formulations that are geared towards supporting your overall cellular health. So this is a
good time to stop by invite get yourself your your Oranges hax or get yourself
your your Purple's hax, and the oranges is really nice too, especially if
you are going to be a little bit more active, you know, throughout
the heat of the summer, because it does a great job with muscle recovery.
So if your muscles feel a little tired or achy, a little crampy,
having the the oranges hax with all of the powerful amino acids and that
can really help with muscle recovery and energy production and takes really good too,
so and it's all natural. So this is what we want to be doing.
So all of these different products are all on special right now. I
want to talk about green tea because this is another excellent choice for the summer,
and we have our white tea as well. So these are tinctures,
so they're powerful liquid extracts. This is a really good way for you to
bolster up your antioxidant defenses, especially with the air pollution all the things that
I talk about. So green tea to me, is one of those options
that people can turn to and understanding. You know, tea has been consumed
for hundreds of years, and the research on tea showing the way that tea
is working to support pretty much every single system in the body. The way
that the tea has been studied, and it doesn't matter if we're looking at
green tea, white tea, black tea, they all have different little spectrums
of the catechins or the antioxidants that they contain. Black tea, for example,
also contains theoflavin's this very unique active constituent, this powerful antioxidant that does
a really great job for cardiovascular support. So our Green Tea HX capsules,
for example, that has the green Tea extract plus the black tea. So
it's very much so a powerhouse capsule to take for immune health, brain health,
heart health, you name it. But our liquids are really nice to
have throughout the summer because once again we're thinking hydration, hydration folks, and
we are also thinking, well, hey, I'm getting all this EGCG.
So EGCG is the epigallo catechin gay light. So that can be your other
word that you use at your at your holiday, you know, barbecues.
Yeah, I'm just sipping on my EGCG over here. But EGCG is so
unique. One of the things that we recognize with EGCG is not only is
it protecting the cells from free radicals, and that's what most people think about,
you know, oxidative stress and free radicals. But what's fascinating, and
this is why green tea itself has been studied so extensively, is that they
recognized long ago that green tea actually can turn off and it's highly effective at
doing this, by the way, but it can actually turn off something known
as h m GB one. So not that I'm trying to inundate you with
all these crazy terms today, but it's important to know what this is.
So hm GB one and what that actually stands for is high mobility group box
one. So and you may be thinking, what does that matter, Amanda,
why do we care about HMGB one. Well, we want to think
about what HMGB one is doing, because HMGB one is something that regulates the
release of those chemical signals that drive up inflammation, things like cytokines. So
if green tea and the EGCG can actually kind of go in like you walk
into a room in your house and you flip the light switch off. You
say, well, I'm not sitting in here right now. Why am I
powering light into this room? Let me turn this off. This is what
green tea can do in the body, is it switches that off and it
says, sorry, we're not going to be releasing all of these excess cytokiness.
And hence, this is why when you start to look at green tea
studies, and you go, oh, well, no wonder why green tea
has been shown to be effective in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. No wonder why
green tea has been shown to be beneficial for respiratory conditions like chronic bronchitis and
asthma, And no wonder why green tea is so beneficial when it comes to
neuroinflammation and vascular inflammation. Because it can actually this is how it's working.
It actually turns this switch off, which is super duper important because one of
the things that we recognize in the scientific world is that if we have high
levels of HMGB one in the system, if we have high levels of this,
then we know all of the ramifications for this. We see all of
the different diseases that are correlated with high levels of HMGB one, asthma,
athlesclerosis, looking at cancers, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, Chrome's disease,
alterative colitis, All of these things are linked to having too much of this
HMGB one switch being on and just all of these inflammatory cytokinds being released into
the body. So through taking green tea in this tinctured form that we offer.
Not only are we addressing our hydration components. So we take two full
droppers of green Tea TX, add that in with about six or eight ounces
of water. You can drink that hot cold, you can put some ice
cubes in there for the summer. But we now recognize that we're getting these
powerful catechins that can go into the body and say, hey, we're going
to turn this switch off. We're gonna lessen our inflammation. We're gonna power
up our antioxidant defenses at the same time to fend off the Canadian smoke,
for example. And we know that the green tea is also potentiating this powerful
immune system support. So the studies on green Tea have pretty much traversed across
all different systems. So I want to talk about some of those studies,
but I do need to squeeze in a quick break, So stick around with
me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio. I will be right back.

Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Manda Williams. We are having our Independence
Day sale that means you can stop by any of our stores. You can
speak with one of our health experts. We have our naturopathic doctors. Available
that you can speak with, and I definitely always encourage people take advantage of
that, especially during the sale. Maybe you're interested in a particular product that
I'm talking about or something that you've heard, you know, Jerry Hikey discussed
in the past, but you're not exactly sure, like, okay, sounds
really but is this going to be the right product for me? Talk to
one of our nutritionists. It's a free service. Take advantage of that.
You don't have to be, you know, by yourself when it comes to
trying to figure out your supplementation routine each day. And it may be that
you you know, are using the Green TTX plus the Green Tea capsules.
Maybe you have concerns with prostate health. For example, we have seen the
studies done, really fabulous study done back in two thousand and nine at Louisiana
State University in the setting of prostate health and prostate cancer, and they were
looking at different serum biomarkers in men and finding that there's this potential role for
EGCG in the prevention of prostate cancer. So that's a study that always just
sticks with me. That's why you'll hear Jerry Hickey, you know advise folks
men to take green tea h X for example, maybe in the morning or
take it at night before bed. We do understand the benefits when it comes
to green tea supplementation and the health of the prostate. But Washington State University,
probably about seven years ago, they came out with some really fascinating studies
on the use of EGCG in the setting of rheumatoid arthritis. So now when
you see a study like this, you go, oh, well, that
all makes sense now because what that green tea is doing is it's turning off
that switch. It's turning off that inflammation switch. So yes, you see
a study out of Washington State University saying, hey, we gave green tea
to folks with rheumatoid arthritis and we could see this significant improvement. So it
really is quite fascinating. I mean the British Heart Foundation, for example,
they talked about the utilization of green in EGCG in particular as a preventive measure
for cardiovascular disease. And once again we think, what's some of the major
issues when it comes to cardiovascular health, and it comes down to inflammation.
So the use of green tea extract can help to potentiate this benefit once again,
so we have the green TTX, we also have the white TTX.
Also keep in mind when using either one of those, whether you're using the
green tea tincture or the white t tincture, one of the side benefits that
goes along with those is going to be thermogenesis. So the ability for those
t extracts to actually communicate with your fat cells and it finds the fat cells
and it says, hey, you're a little too big and puffy. We
need you to go away. Time for to go nightnight. So that's good,
we want to get rid of those fat cells. And at the same
time it communicates and says, but just because we're getting rid of these fat
cells doesn't mean we're making space for new ones to come move in to town.
So what does the green tea and the white tea do is it creates
an environment where the generation of new fat cells becomes very difficult. So hence
this is why we look at both green tea and white teeth as being beneficial
when it comes to that fat burning component. So in the studies on this
are quite impressive. So I would definitely say, you know, if you
want one of those comprehensive nutrients that you can have in your supplementation routine.
Green tea or white tea TX. Sipping on those throughout the summer months yield
you a whole heck of a lot of benefits religen. Let's not overlook collagen.
I oftentimes talk about, you know, a typical daily routine, and
how that typical daily routine would include a complete multi vitem and multimineral. Taking
ubiquinol and we offer conica, so that is the high absorption form of ubiquinol,
taking vitamin D, taking magnesium, and taking an omega three fatty acid.
So whether you're using our fish oil or you use our krill Oil Advanced,
remember our krill oil is a high amount of both the EPA and the
DHA, the actual omega three's, but it also contains the phosphatital coaline in
that, so you're getting that other membrane fat And you get asked as anthon
a natural crotnoid. Already talked about the benefits of crotenoids today, so we
want to make sure that we include these in. But collagen, too is
something that is incredibly benefit official to have as part of your daily supplementation routine.
Why why does collegen supplementation matter so much? And it's not because it's
trendy, and trust me, it is I've been in this industry for a
very long time, not as long as Jerry Hikey, but we both recognize
that. You know, the trendiness of collagen kind of started to take off
maybe about five years ago, and now you see, you know, commercials
for different collagens and things like that. But why is it that collagen is
so important? Because we know that structurally speaking, when we're thinking about our
bones, when we're thinking about our tendons or ligaments, we think about our
vascular system. Collagen is the backbone to this. And we know something about
the human body. We know that once we hit about twenty five years old,
our natural ability to produce collagen effectively starts to diminish, and it goes
down with every decade. So by the time you're you know, middle aged,
and there's different you know, categories as to what people think is middle
aged, but let's say fifty, so you're gonna start to get to the
point where you've lost about half of your collagen. Now, most people just
chalk this up as normal aging and say, yeah, well I'm more wrinkled
now because you know I've got sun damage and you know, I'm just getting
older. But we know that there's something that we can do to blunt that
effect. We can replenish the collagen that we've been losing for the past decades.
Now, not all collagen has created the same And I get this question
a lot, you know, because a lot of the collagens that are out
there on the market, you know, and they're, oh, this is
for the health of your hair, and that's the way that they're marketing it.
Well, yes, of course collagen is going to be beneficial for your
hair. But what we want to be using is a collagen that has actually
been used in studies and shown to be highly effective. And that is what
our collagen formulations actually are doing for you. So when you're using the collagen
HX, which also contains Bosuelia extract and silica, or if you're using our
collagen tablets, you know that you are getting this high absorption collagen, these
peptides, these collagen proteins that can actually make their way through the digestive juices
not be broken down. Because think about collagen's protein, so it's not going
to be broken down. It actually makes its way into the bloodstream so that
that collagen can then be dispersed throughout the body to support the health of your
joints and your skin, and your hair and your nails. And this is
what makes our formulations so incredibly unique, is what we're using. It's called
peptan B five thousand, and the peptan B five thousand to me, is
the most impressive of any type of collagen peptide that you can possibly use.
The sign behind it, the efficacy of how those collegen peptides are working is
so impressive, and the spectrum, the amount of amino acids, the percentage
of those amino acids that can actually make their way into the system, hands
down is the most powerful natural bioactive formula that you can be using. So
that's our collagen tablets and the collagen HX. Definitely include those in one of
those into your daily routine so that you can help to replenish that lost collagen.
So we have a lot of different products. Definitely stop by one of
our store locations, go online, give us a call, and make sure
that you take advantage of our fourth of July Independence Day, buy one,
get one free sale. If you happen to have questions for me, definitely
