I have some fun information to 8 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.439 share with you today. Of course, I'm going to cover a lot of 9 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.200 ground when it comes to so many of the different products that we offer. 10 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.399 As you know at Invite Health, we've been in business now for twenty five 11 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:55.920 years.

It's very easy to navigate through the website, search for your favorite 17 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.359 formulations, any of the products that I talk about today. You can easily 18 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.640 go to the website and find those products, or even better yet, pop 19 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:33.000 into one of the stores and speak with one of our wonderful nutritional experts, 20 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.840 because every single store has a nutritionist who works at that store, and that 21 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.599 is a free service for you, So you can go in and you can 22 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.400 talk to them about whatever your health concern may be and make sure that you're 23 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.040 doing the right thing when it comes to your dietary supplement routine, because it 24 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.640 really does make a difference. I always tell folks, I have had so 25 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.159 many conversations throughout the years where people feel like they're doing the right thing as 26 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.120 far as their diet and their exercise and the supplements that they're taking, but 27 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.480 maybe they could be doing things just slightly different to get the most out of 28 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.919 their products. So definitely speak to one of our nutritionists so that they can 29 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.719 help guide you on that path to wellness. So I have many different things 30 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.800 that I want to talk about today. We know that Halloween is right around 31 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.360 the corner, so I do kind of want to highlight bugs. I always 32 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.240 talk about this during this time of year, the creepy Crawley's, and a 33 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.560 lot of times folks don't want to hear about this, but I think it's 34 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:37.719 fun and exciting and we can't be naive to the fact that as humans we 35 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.319 accumulate different types of bugs. So we want to make sure that we're doing 36 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.319 the right things as far as our diet as well as different supplements that can 37 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.520 help chase out some of those bad bugs, because we don't want to be 38 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.360 kind of overrun by those. So I will get into all of that. 39 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.639 As you know, I'm a huge Michigan fan and we have a huge game 40 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.759 tonight, so I will be tuning in. I'll probably be a little bit 41 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.919 anxious, I would say for most of the day. Maybe I'll take a 42 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.120 little elthy inane to keep my nerves calm. But we play Michigan State tonight. 43 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:17.240 Now they're saying we have like a ninety three percent chance of winning, 44 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.039 but we are playing in East Lansings, We're playing at Michigan State. And 45 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.879 this is always even growing up in Michigan, this is like such a big 46 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:32.240 event is when Michigan and Michigan State play each other, and we're going in 47 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.919 as the number two team in the country. So I'm a little nervous. 48 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.240 Michigan State doesn't have a great team this year, but you know, anything 49 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.439 could happened on any in any given games, so it should be exciting in 50 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:51.360 any event. And there's also other exciting things that are happening, which is 51 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:58.280 Today's Sweetest Day. So if you are not familiar with Sweetest Day, happy 52 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:05.280 Sweetest Day to everybody. This is definitely a Midwest holiday and Hallmark. We 53 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.479 always used to laugh at Michigan because it is it's kind of it's a Hallmark 54 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.840 holiday. And so during this time of year, people up in you know, 55 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.160 Michigan and Ohio and Wisconsin and Indiana, they all get very excited for 56 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.759 Sweetest Day because it's kind of like our fall version of Valentine's Day. And 57 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.560 restaurants run different dinner specials so you can take your your loved one out for 58 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.600 a nice dinner, and you know, people are buying cards and flowers and 59 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:38.759 chocolates, and so Today's Sweetest Day. For those of you in New York, 60 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.959 you're probably like, have no idea what that is, but it's the 61 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.439 fall variety of Valentine's Day, so maybe you want to celebrate that today, 62 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.319 So let your loved ones know Happy Sweetest Day. When I was little and 63 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.720 growing up, my uncle used to always take my cousin out for lunch on 64 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.519 Sweetest Day and they'd have, you know, kind of this father daughter day 65 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.759 out. And for the longest time, I thought it was called Swedish Day, 66 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:11.560 which is kind of funny because they were actually of Swedish descent. So 67 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.040 I was like, oh, this is something that they do because you know 68 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.560 they're they're from Sweden. But then as I got older, I realized it 69 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.439 was Sweetest Day, not Swedish Day. But anyways, so I've got some 70 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.079 exciting information to share with all of you who use our probiotic HX, because 71 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.160 a new study just came out and it's really quite fascinating. And the reason 72 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.199 why you should be excited is if you use our probiotic HX, which contains 73 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:48.800 five different powerful strains of probiotics so healthy bacteria. Two of those strains are 74 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.720 named in this brand new study that just came out. So in our probiotic 75 00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.800 HX, this contains Lactobacillis ramnosis, there's biffidobactery brevet. In this there's Biffidobacterum 76 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:08.639 animalist subspecies lactice, so you know, zero in on that lactis word. 77 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.800 There is lacto Basillis plantarum, and then there's Basilli's coagulants, which is a 78 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:20.560 registered trademark form called lactosepur which can actually allow for better absorption of those healthy 79 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:27.439 bacteria into the intestines, which is very important because the takeaway with that is 80 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.439 not all probiotics are created the same, So we want to make sure that 81 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:36.160 when we're taking a probiotic that it's actually going to make its way into the 82 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:42.279 intestines and be able to colonize, as we call it, but that those 83 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.920 healthy bacteria can actually go into the intestines, lay down and make a nice, 84 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:53.319 happy, healthy home for themselves, because in turn, that makes a 85 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.920 nice, happy, healthy home for us and for our intestinal environment, which 86 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.439 regulates so many aspects of our health. So we can never overlook the importance 87 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.600 of gut health because if we have an unhealthy gut, not only does that 88 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.480 have an impact on our immune system, but that can drive up chronic inflammation 89 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.240 in the body that can make it difficult for us to regulate our blood sugar 90 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.160 and our blood pressure. So with that last word, they're blood pressure. 91 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.160 This is the study that I want to share with you because when I was 92 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.480 reading it this week, I was like, oh my goodness. Now we 93 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:36.560 already know, just through the studies conducted over the past two decades on probiotics, 94 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:43.600 that different bacterial strains, good healthy bacterial strains, have different powers, 95 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.000 like their own little superpowers. We see this with our probiotic weight formulation, 96 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:53.040 for example, that has that particular strain of biffitobacterum in it that's been shown 97 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.000 to help promote weight loss. We see this in our probiotic women that has 98 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:03.519 the four different strains of lactobacilla, which are the foremost common healthy strains found 99 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.800 in the eurogenital tract of both men and women. So we know that there 100 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:16.720 are identifiable bacteria that can either be very helpful for us or very harmful. 101 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.560 And most of the time when people think about bacterias, you think about the 102 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.839 bad ones. You think about, you know, having a staff infection or 103 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.200 a strep, you know, strep throat. But there are healthy bacteria and 104 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.440 hence we all walk around every day with a couple of pounds hanging out in 105 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.039 our intestines. They are there to keep us healthy. So this brand new 106 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.639 study just came out looking at how probiotics and different strains of probiotics have actually 107 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:56.120 been shown to improve upon blood pressure. Now what's really fascinating was that they 108 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:03.000 were able to zero in on two different strains, one of those being Biffidobactrum 109 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:11.360 lactis and the other being Lactobacillus ramnosis. So why does that matter to you, 110 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:18.279 Well, if you are taking probiotic HX, this contains biffidobactrum lactics, 111 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:26.960 it also contains Lactobacillus ramnosis. And what was really quite fascinating about this study 112 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.240 is the reason why they did it. They said, there's all this accumulating 113 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:39.679 evidence showing that the microbial environment within our intestines really seems to have a very 114 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:46.240 powerful effect on blood pressure regulation. So they were looking at the use of 115 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:54.080 probiotics in a sense as an anti hypertensive. Basically, if we use different 116 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.360 strains of probiotic, would this do anything in terms of regulating blood pressure? 117 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.360 And their study indicated this. They found that laccho Bacillus ramnosis as well as 118 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:15.159 biffidobathrum lactics had a significant ability to lower blood pressure. So it's very exciting 119 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.440 for us at Invite Health because we already have this. We already have this 120 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.320 particular product bottled up and ready for you to take advantage of. So not 121 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.559 only is it great during this time of year, because we have to be 122 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.960 honest, it's cold and flu season. I know that the weather's starting to 123 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.519 shift. We finally just got our first cold front here in South Florida, 124 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.159 which was you know, exciting. I got to, you know, break 125 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:46.240 out my colder weather clothes, which you know, lasted for two days, 126 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.759 but it got a little chilly down here. We got down to a low 127 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.080 of sixty for the overnight and the daytime high only crept up to the mid 128 00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:00.799 seventies. So it was a much needed break because it's been just incredibly hot 129 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.320 down here. So in any event, we know that this is cold and 130 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.039 flu season, So taking probiotic HX right now during this time of year is 131 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.559 very beneficial for helping your immune system. Now, what's the best way to 132 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.120 take our probiotic HX. I get this question all the time, and you 133 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.559 may hear different things from different folks as to know what their experience is with 134 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.399 probiotic and what they find is the most helpful. And keep in mind we're 135 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.120 all unique, we're all individual, so there is going to be some variability 136 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:37.519 there. But what I find is if you take your probiotic in the evening, 137 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.279 and it doesn't have to be with dinner, but if it's easier for 138 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.039 you to remember to take it at dinner time, than by all means take 139 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.840 it with your dinner. But you can also take it just before bed. 140 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.519 So our probiotics so powerful that it's not impacted by if you take it with 141 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.000 food or without food. So if you could take it with food, it's 142 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.960 not going to somehow degrade, you're not going to lose any of the pot 143 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.519 But if you take it on an empty stomach, it's not going to irritate 144 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.679 you either, So that's an important takeaway. So it's very easy. And 145 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.440 remember it's shelf stable, so you don't have to keep it in your refrigerator. 146 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:16.440 So that's another positive to our probiotic HX. So I find that when 147 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.360 you take it at night, when we're getting ready to you know, be 148 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.120 more relaxed, get ready for sleep. This is when the intestines naturally start 149 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:33.360 to have their own calming period. So if the intestinal environment is more relaxed 150 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.000 in the evening, then it makes a lot of sense to take these powerful 151 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.799 healthy bacteria in the evening so that they can make their way in. Remember 152 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.399 they're going in to colonize, to lay down and start to promote health for 153 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.759 us. So I find that using it in the evening is very advantagious. 154 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.960 However, if you want to take it first thing in the morning, that 155 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:03.320 is also completely fine. We know from the scientific studies done with our probiotic 156 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.120 HX that the absorption rate is excellent, so timing of the day doesn't necessarily 157 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:16.200 matter. But that's just my way of finding probiotics to work very effectively is 158 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.399 if you take it in the evening. So I have a lot of ground 159 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.879 to cover. I do want to talk about the bugs and the parasites and 160 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.519 Halloween focus, but I do need to squeeze in a quick break, So 161 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.120 stick around with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio. I will 162 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.000 be right back. It is cold and flu season again. Is your immune 163 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:41.080 system ready?

I am doctor Amanda 174 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.200 Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health. As you know, we've changed some 175 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.960 things up at Invite We have our brand new website so it's very easy for 176 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:56.200 you to search for the probiotic HX for example, get that benefit for your 177 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.639 immune system, for regulating inflammation, for mood support. It's always fascinating when 178 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.080 people start using probiotic checks, and they say, you know, I used 179 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.200 to always feel a little anxious, and ever since I started taking probiotic achecks, 180 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.840 I don't feel that way. I know Jerry Hickey always talks about him 181 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.279 using probiotic h X during this time of year, not only for his immune 182 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.480 system, but for seasonal allergies. So if you deal with hay fever things 183 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:28.399 like that, the blend of different bacteria that's contained in probiotic HX very supportive 184 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.360 for histamine regulation. And that's the pesky problem is when someone's dealing with hay 185 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.159 fever, is excess histamine that's being released in the body. That's what creates 186 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.480 the symptoms for you. So we know that these strains of probiotic are very 187 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.720 beneficial, so probiotic checks. But it is that time, tis the season, 188 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.799 and it's Halloween time. This is when I always like to talk about 189 00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:02.399 bugs because it's just fitting and we can be naive to the fact that as 190 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:10.200 human beings we come across different unfavorable things, pesky little pathogens as I like 191 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:15.279 to call them. Now, while science wise, I just find this so 192 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.720 interesting. I remember my first kind of introduction or taste of this was an 193 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:25.960 undergraduate and I took a microbiology class and I was hooked. I was like, 194 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.320 oh my gosh, this is so amazing, like to understand how these 195 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.360 bacteria are working, how they make us sick. But now that we know 196 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:40.840 so much about healthy bacteria and probiotics, now it's even more exciting for me 197 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.879 because we know that we can combat the bad things with something good. I 198 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.720 would say, use nature versus nature. Same thing like, if we think 199 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:56.679 about seasonal allergies, if something in the environment is triggering you a tree, 200 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:03.240 pollen or mold, then and why would we use some type of factory, 201 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:11.759 chemical made product when we can use nature to combat nature, Which is why 202 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.960 our black seed formulation is so helpful for folks who deal with seasonal allergies. 203 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.119 Same thing with our respiratory HX. We're using nature to combat nature. It 204 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.240 just makes a lot of sense. So I always say, whenever we're putting 205 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.400 anything in the body that's artificial or synthetic, we're just kind of running the 206 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.359 risk of our liver just being completely confused, like what am I supposed to 207 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:40.519 do with all these chemicals? So let's just turn to nature. And hence 208 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.839 this is what probotic HX is doing too. We're using powerful strains of bacteria 209 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:51.759 that actually keep us healthy. So it's a great thing. But back to 210 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:56.440 the creepy crawleys. And this is something that even when I went to medical 211 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:03.039 school, the focus once again was never on healthy bacteria. The focus was 212 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.160 always on things that make you sick. Whether we're looking at you know, 213 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.160 overgrowth of candida, we never discussed that. Well, candida is part of 214 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.279 the natural flora, so you know, we need to have some of it, 215 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.799 but too much is not good. That's never where the focus is. 216 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:25.119 Same thing when you look at different bacteria. We only looked at bacteria that 217 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:30.799 make you very sick or mildly sick. We only looked at parasites that make 218 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.400 people ill. And what's always interesting is when you talk to any American about 219 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:40.440 parasites. Right away people think of like National Geographic and something that you saw, 220 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.519 you know, maybe when you were in school or watched the show, 221 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.480 or back when people used to get the National Geographic magazine delivered to their house. 222 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.200 And you think about like the giant tapeworms that overtake the body. But 223 00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:03.000 there are many parasites out there that we can actually be infected with that maybe 224 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.400 don't necessarily make us sick to the point that you wake up every day and 225 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.240 you're like, oh gosh, something's wrong with me. But they're still there 226 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:17.039 and they're still creating havoc. So that's why I like to talk about this 227 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.319 particular topic. And I always say, just look at having a new kitten 228 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.200 or a new puppy. What's the very first thing that people do. Well, 229 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.440 they run off to their vet and they get their little new pet, 230 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:37.240 their little baby pet checked over. And what's one of the first things that 231 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.319 that veterinarian's gonna do. They're going to give them a dewormer. So why 232 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:48.799 is that? Why is it that across the country every veterinarian is very keen 233 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.839 to the fact that animals, especially kittens and puppies need to be dewormed. 234 00:19:53.519 --> 00:20:00.119 And of course throughout the country as far as agriculture, we know that our 235 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:07.119 livestock all get dewormed at different times throughout the year. They actually have a 236 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.480 map, you know, like, oh, over in this part of the 237 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.279 country, you know, normal deworming season is, you know, these couple 238 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.039 of months. So if everything around us is being dewormed, but we as 239 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.480 humans don't think, well, maybe we need to be dewormed. So this 240 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.880 is why I like to talk about this. I know it gives people the 241 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.920 creeps, and that's okay, But the reason why we have to talk about 242 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:36.599 it is because it is a reality. There was a study that was conducted 243 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.599 and I love talking about this study because it's very important. Takeaway. Why 244 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:48.599 taking probiotic HX is important, Why eating healthy, high fiber foods is very 245 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:56.920 important to encourage a healthy intestinal environment, it all comes back to this study. 246 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.000 So they were looking at the seasonal prevalence of iNeST parasites in the United 247 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:07.160 States. And in this study they took stool samples. And I know that 248 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.559 gives people the creeps, but that's just you know, nothing really creeps me 249 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.400 out when it comes to human health. I have to be honest about that, 250 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.640 which is I guess that's a good thing. I went to medical school, 251 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.559 so things really shouldn't give me the creeps. But they did a stool 252 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:30.960 analysis from individuals across all fifty states, and through these stool analysis they were 253 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:37.720 looking to see the prevalence. Now, do these stool samples have parasites in 254 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:45.920 them? And what was really fascinating was the rate, the rate of parasitic 255 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:51.640 infections found. And it wasn't like it was just oh, this stool sample 256 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.400 has just one parasite. It was usually multiple. They were finding two, 257 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.000 three, four different types of parasites. So now I'm not going to get 258 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.599 into the heart of the study, but just so we have the takeaway that, 259 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.519 yes, this major study was done. It was published in the American 260 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:14.160 journal Tropical Medicine. And we know that in the United States parasitic infections, 261 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.519 yes, they are common. How do we know. We tested the stool 262 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.759 samples from people from fifty different states and we can see this. So what 263 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.680 do we do? What do we do about this? Because remember, these 264 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.079 are parasites that perhaps aren't making you feel sick every day. Maybe it's not 265 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:38.000 creating any type of gi discomfort let's just say, but maybe it is affecting 266 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:44.960 your sleep cycle, or maybe it is affecting your metabolism. Maybe you do 267 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.240 feel a little bit run down and you're not exactly sure why. So how 268 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.519 do we combat this? Well, we know that there are things from nature 269 00:22:52.559 --> 00:23:00.200 that can once again fend off nature, including our probiotic checks, including formulations 270 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:07.039 like our colon HX, which contains silium extract. We know scillium is so 271 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:14.640 wonderful for one particular reason, and that reason is sillium makes its way into 272 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:19.519 the intestines and then once it starts to kind of incorporate with those good, 273 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:25.960 healthy bacteria, this magical thing happens, and that is the production of what 274 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.720 is known as short chain fatty acids. And the short chain fatty acids that 275 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:36.319 scilium has the ability to produce is known as butyrate. That's the most common 276 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.400 one that's produced. Well, why does that matter to us? Because that 277 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:47.119 butyrate actually works as an anti inflammatory. So if we have an inflamed gut, 278 00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:52.240 if our intestinal environment is inflamed, and that's not a far stretch because 279 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.279 when we think about chronic low grade inflammation, where is that coming from. 280 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.720 It starts in the gut. And we look at all of these different disease 281 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.000 states. We look at diabetes, we look at earthritis, we look at 282 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:11.960 different cancers of course, any type of cardiovascular disease. We can see that 283 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:18.279 underpinning of chronic inflammation, which is all GI based initially, So if we're 284 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.200 taking colon h ex which contains cilium, which is now going to allow the 285 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:30.440 body to produce buterate, then we can have less inflammation in the intestines. 286 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.000 It's a great thing. Plus we're getting fiber, and we know that the 287 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:40.519 average American is only getting about five to ten grams of fiber per day when 288 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:44.160 we're supposed to get thirty. So we don't really do too good when it 289 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.440 comes to fiber intake. And that's not hard to imagine because where do we 290 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.920 get most of our fiber from and our foods is fruits and vegetables, and 291 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.240 we know that Americans just aren't keen really on eating a high amount of fruits 292 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.400 and vegetables every day. So we take the colon HX just for the cilium, 293 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.559 but then we say, oh wait, the colon HX also contains ben 294 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:15.920 tonite, and that bn tonite clay has been shown to be very powerful for 295 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:22.279 targeting different toxins any sludge, so it helps to bind to toxins and heavy 296 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:30.960 metals, but also parasites and unfriendly bacteria. So if you're taking colon HX, 297 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:37.480 this is a great way to kind of go through our own nature's way 298 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.400 of kind of deworming in a sense. So when people ask me about the 299 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.000 colon HX formulation, they say, well, how should I use this? 300 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.279 And it really depends, once again on what our end goal is. But 301 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.839 I generally will tell folks that this is an excellent product to use kind of 302 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.880 as a seasonal cleanse. So when you think about, you know, spring 303 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.880 cleaning and then in the fall time, maybe you're changing out things, you 304 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.480 know, starting to get your warm blankets out, whatever be the case, 305 00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:08.599 then this should be kind of a clue to yourself like, oh, you 306 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:12.000 know what, this is the time I should take some colon HX. So 307 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:17.240 once again, speak with one of our nutritionists because they can really help guide 308 00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:22.599 you as to the best practices as to how to use colon chex to get 309 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.319 the most out of that formulation. Now, for folks who have chronic underlying 310 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:33.319 issues, say irritable bowel for example, leaky gut, cybo infections, then 311 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.319 taking colon h X on a more regular, frequent basis may make a lot 312 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.200 more sense for you. But if we're using it more just for the ability 313 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:47.960 to bind on to unwanted things and help remove those, then doing kind of 314 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.160 that seasonal approach works really well. But we know that there are other nutrients 315 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.400 that we can turn to. We can turn to our aged garlic extract bacteria, 316 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:03.079 parasites, viruses, as well as any type of candia overgrowth. They 317 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:11.559 don't like garlic at all. So the scientific studies on age garlic extract are 318 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:17.480 incredibly impressive. I would say age garlic works in a similar fashion to caprillic 319 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:22.440 acid, which comes from coconut, and what it does very effectively is it 320 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:29.640 kind of helps poke holes or punch holes into the fungal overgrowth. But we 321 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:37.880 also know that it makes it an incredibly inhospitable environment for viruses to get into 322 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:42.720 our system and start to replicate, makes it very unwelcoming for parasites. They're 323 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:51.720 just not friends with garlic. So taking garlic extract along with your probiotic HX 324 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.960 is a really good way, once again to create this environment that makes it 325 00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:02.039 not so nice for something like a parasite to want to hang out in. 326 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.880 We can also look at grape seed extract and remember our grape seed extract that 327 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:14.200 we sell at Invite Health contains indenna grape seed. Why does that matter to 328 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.200 you, Well, this is a California sourced grape seed extract. So it's 329 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.559 very powerful, and it's very clean, and it has been used in human 330 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:29.640 clinical trials to show its uptake and its effectiveness for things like blood pressure regulation 331 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:36.480 once again, but also for creating this optimal environment within the intestines to promote 332 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:42.279 a healthier inflammatory response as well as for the support of the immune defenses. 333 00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:48.599 So our grape seed extract, which is very high in those OPCs, those 334 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:55.960 ollegomeric pro anthocynodens, along with the age garlic, along with the probiotic HX, 335 00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.160 is a really good way for you to say, hmm, okay, 336 00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.079 I take my puppy or my kitten off to the vet because they need to 337 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.839 be dewormed. What should I be doing as a human being. Well, 338 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.119 those are kind of some of the options that we have. We can take 339 00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.079 the grape seed extract, we can take that age garlic, we can take 340 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:19.039 our probiotic HX, and we can have a very optimal intestinal environment. So 341 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:22.680 I have a lot more ground to cover. Looking at the clock, I 342 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.799 know I need to squeeze in a quick break.

I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite 358 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.720 Health. Happy Saturday morning to everyone. I know it's a little a little 359 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.279 chilly up there in New York, little drizzly, but hopefully the weather will 360 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.119 will change. I'm sure people have big plans. Now. You know, 361 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.480 it's sweetest day, so you are welcome, you know, So go out, 362 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:02.960 get your love one a nice car, maybe some flowers. Better yet, 363 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.279 go over to invite. Don't get yourself some probiotic chex. I always 364 00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:11.279 say no better gift to give than the gift of health. And I always 365 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.119 like to talk about that during the holiday time because I'm so into wellness and 366 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.559 I have so many folks who reach out to me, whether they call me 367 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:23.519 or they email me, and they're always trying to encourage someone that they know 368 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.559 to you know, be healthier. They'll say, well, you know, 369 00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.920 I have a friend in the in my neighborhood and you know they got a 370 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.480 lot of you know, problems with their knee. You know, which products 371 00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.839 should they take? And I always say, you know, I can give 372 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:42.759 you a lot of different advice, but the person who you know needs to 373 00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:45.440 be taking the supplement. They need to be on board with that. So 374 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.200 I always think it's great talk to your friends, talk to your co workers, 375 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.119 talk to your you know, family members about you know, getting healthy 376 00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:57.000 and staying healthy. But they have to to want that. I always say, 377 00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:04.000 you have to be proactive your own health in order for any type of 378 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.880 a routine to work. So you know, always keep that in mind that 379 00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:13.240 giving the gift of health is a wonderful thing. But do encourage them to 380 00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.160 definitely reach out to one of our nutritionists because sometimes you may say, oh, 381 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.839 you know, you should be taking this, you know, bio Curcumen 382 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.319 five locks and because it's great for your knee. Yet I started using it 383 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:27.559 and I don't have any knee pain anymore. And maybe your coworker, your 384 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.079 friend is like, eh, I'm not exactly sure. But that's when you 385 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.920 follow up with them. You say, but you can talk to a nature 386 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:37.240 pathic doctor about this. They can explain it to you. So let them 387 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:43.160 know the resources that we have available at invite And remember we we now that 388 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:47.920 we've changed everything on our website, it's very easy to search for those products. 389 00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.039 And we have our media back up on our website, so I know 390 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:59.200 that there was some concerns with that, so we have our streaming back up 391 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.240 on the website. We have our blog back up on the website, so 392 00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:10.160 all of that education is there at your fingertips again, so definitely go to 393 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:15.119 to invite health dot com and check that out.

So if you have questions about any of the 396 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.000 changes that we've made, definitely reach out to us, talk to one of 397 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.759 our nutritions. You can call and talk to our customer service team. They're 398 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.920 there to help you, you know, through some of our changes that we're 399 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.480 making. And remember our stores are open seven days a week, so no 400 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:45.480 excuses, you can pop into a store. So we have a new product, 401 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:52.880 our plant protein, and this is a very exciting addition to our product 402 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.960 line because we've had so many folks through the years who have asked us about 403 00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.640 this, you know, for whatever reason, you know, maybe it's dietary 404 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.160 restriction base where they didn't want to use the way protein isolate that we offered, 405 00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:08.320 and they said, oh, you don't have a plant protein. So 406 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:14.559 now we do. Now we have a plant protein, and I'm telling you 407 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:21.639 this stuff packs the punch. Every scoop of our plant protein contains twenty grams 408 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.960 of protein. And many times people say, you know, when I think 409 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.119 about protein, I think that that's only coming from animal sources and that couldn't 410 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:35.079 be you know, farther from the truth. So when we're looking at our 411 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:40.159 brand new plant protein, we have this powerful blend of brown rice protein. 412 00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:45.320 There's pea protein in this pumpkin, so tis the season once again. There's 413 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:51.719 pumpkin protein in this. There's flax in chia, which that should kind of 414 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.000 make your your ears pain a little bit because flax seed as well as chia 415 00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:05.800 seed are both excellent sources of omega threes. So just think about that for 416 00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:10.320 a minute. You're using the plant protein for muscle support, for energy, 417 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:17.440 but you're also getting vitamins, minerals, antioxidts, and omega three fatty acids. 418 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:23.280 So we're very excited that we have this brand new plant protein. If 419 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:30.400 you are looking into maybe using this as a pre workout or a post workout. 420 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.280 Maybe you don't work out at all, but you're just concerned about maintaining 421 00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.960 muscle mass as you grow older, this is a wonderful option for you. 422 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:45.840 So very clean, very powerful, twenty grams in every single scoop. So 423 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:52.280 for any of you vegans out there, vegetarians, we've got you covered. 424 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:57.840 Now. What's interesting is there's always the concern that, well, if it's 425 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:02.239 coming from a plant, it can't be as powerful as weigh protein, not 426 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:08.480 the case at all. The research done on plant proteins and really looking at 427 00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:16.119 their nutritional quality is incredibly impressive, and we can see how the hemp protein 428 00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.639 there's hemp protein in this as well, and the brown rice protein and the 429 00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:27.760 pea protein in particular, they have this really high amount of branch chained amino 430 00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:34.599 acids. So that includes things like valene, leucine, isoleucine. Those are 431 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:38.719 very important when we think about that muscle mass management and I call it muscle 432 00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:44.079 mass management because we know that as we get older, we are more prone 433 00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:49.400 to loss of muscle mass. So thinking about this like, oh, if 434 00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.239 I'm a vegan and I want to maintain my muscles, this is a really 435 00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:58.199 good way for me to do this because the amino acid spectrum that is derived 436 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:04.360 from these plant proteins is incredibly powerful and so you don't feel like you're going 437 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.719 without somehow because you're not using the way iceland. But we still have our 438 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:13.639 way protein and we know that the way protein islet and the wonderful spectrum of 439 00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:19.599 amino acids contained in our way is a great way to support your muscle, 440 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:24.320 support your immune defenses, and help with b vitamin status. It's always default 441 00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:29.760 back to that study that was conducted over in Australia where they were giving individuals 442 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.360 way protein islet and then one of the interesting finds that they looked at was 443 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.960 like, hey, their B twelve level was starting to come up and their 444 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.239 fo L eight level was coming up. We know that when you're looking at 445 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.039 all of these different amino acids, whether it's source from whey or whether it's 446 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:52.760 source from a plant protein, that each one of those amino acids has its 447 00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.320 own functionality in the body, which makes it so much fun to talk about 448 00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:01.280 because if you have tripped to fani, what is trip tofan going to be 449 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:06.079 utilized for. Well, we know that the trip to fan helps to make 450 00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:12.519 serotonin, which is our feel good neurotransmitter, but it also helps with the 451 00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:19.239 manufacturing of melatonin, so getting exposure to that. Having arginine on board, 452 00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:23.480 we know rginine is the amino acid that helps with the promotion and the release 453 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:30.119 of nitric oxide, so for vascular support. So that's why we always want 454 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:38.519 to break down a protein powder and understand how functionally it's actually working to help 455 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:45.519 to optimize detoxification every day, helps to support the production and release of your 456 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:51.599 healthy neurotransmitters. So this is why when people start using whether it's the plant 457 00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.960 protein or our way protein isolate, they have this general sense of well being 458 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:04.400 because you're getting all of those power amino acids into the system. So though 459 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:12.960 different pathways, different functions are working much more effectively. So the science is 460 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.760 out. We know plant protein definitely packs a punch. Our plant protein in 461 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:22.559 particular does just because of the powerhouse blend that we're actually using. You can 462 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.800 see a lot of different plant proteins out there on the market. Maybe it's 463 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:30.719 just a p protein blend, maybe a little bit of brown rice protein. 464 00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:37.480 But the fact that we are using all of these different protein sources, including 465 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:43.039 coming from the hemp, and we know hemp itself has a lot of anti 466 00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:49.199 inflammatory properties to it, getting that flax in the chia for the omega three 467 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:54.159 component to that. So this is why we look at our plant protein and 468 00:39:54.239 --> 00:40:00.320 we say, oh yeah, this is definitely a real powerhouse. And this 469 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:06.920 is something that for individuals who maybe are on a restricted diet for you know, 470 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.199 a particular health condition for example, and they're concerned that maybe their protein 471 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.400 intake every day is not where it needs to be. This is a really 472 00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:22.280 good way to get that twenty grams of protein on board. And you can 473 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.199 fancy this up however you want. You know, you can put it into 474 00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:29.760 a blender and add berries into it and with a you know, a milk 475 00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:36.639 alternative, whatever tickles your fancy on that one. But this is definitely an 476 00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:40.119 excellent choice. And when it comes to protein, this is just a caveat 477 00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.360 to this because I always have concerns about, you know, kidney health, 478 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:45.800 and I have a lot of folks who come to me and say, well, 479 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:50.119 can I take plant protein if I have chronic kidney disease? And yes 480 00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.239 you can. Can you take way protein if you have chronic kidney disease? 481 00:40:52.480 --> 00:41:01.039 Yes. The key takeaway is with protein intake, we don't want to overload 482 00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:07.400 the system with protein all at one time. And this is why many Americans 483 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:15.039 end up with chronic kidney disease is because they consume way too much protein all 484 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:20.360 at the same time. Now they'll have fifty sixty grams of protein at one 485 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.679 sitting. Well, that's a lot for your kidney to be able to filter 486 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:30.800 through. So we want to space this out and the average protein intake for 487 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:37.880 just a typical adult is roughly about fifty to sixty grams of protein per day. 488 00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:42.760 Now we can, you know, calculate this based off of your weight 489 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:49.320 to be you know, exactly precise, but just as an average about fifty 490 00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:53.599 to sixty grams of protein every day. So that should be dispersed throughout the 491 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:57.360 day. So we're thinking, like, you know, twenty in the morning, 492 00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:01.760 twenty at lunch, twenty in the evening. So if we don't have 493 00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:07.400 a high protein intake in the morning because maybe you had a bagel for example, 494 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.280 which I don't encourage people to do, but let's just say that that's 495 00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:15.519 your your routine, and then at night you just kind of overdo it with 496 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:20.840 the protein. That's very taxing on the kidneys. So once again, speak 497 00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:24.280 to one of our nutritionists so that they can help guide you as to you 498 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:30.000 know, how do I space out my protein intake throughout the day, because 499 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.519 we have to have protein, but we want to do it the right way. 500 00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:37.280 So, and I've worked with so many folks who have chronic kidney disease. 501 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:42.000 I remember I had a gentleman many years ago who this was before I 502 00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:46.400 was with Invite Health, but he came into my office and he had stage 503 00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:51.159 four chronic kidney disease, and he was kind of teetering on that border where 504 00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.599 his nephrologist was like, listen, buddy, you know you're getting pretty close 505 00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:59.920 to maybe requiring dialysis here. So he came to me to talk about diet, 506 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.119 nutrition and you know what he should be doing. So I gave him 507 00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:07.440 a task for him and his wife to keep a food diary for the course 508 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.880 of a week and then come back to my office and we would sit down 509 00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:15.840 and we would calculate out how much protein he was actually taking in. So 510 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:17.360 I want to tell you about the rest of this story, but I'm looking 511 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.639 at the time and I know I need to squeeze in one final break, 512 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:24.280 so I'm going to pause that story. We'll come back, we'll talk about 513 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:29.519 that. Then I'm going to talk about some more formulations that are beneficial during 514 00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:32.840 this cold and flu season and just for overall immune health. So you are 515 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.280 listening to Invite Health Radio, stick around. I will be right back just 516 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:43.320 after this.

We're going to 527 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:44.480 invite health dot com and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor 528 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:49.719 Amanda Williams. Now, let's go back to this story. So I have 529 00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:54.159 this gentleman and he came in kidney function not great at all. His GFR 530 00:44:54.639 --> 00:45:00.679 level was sitting in the the low twenties. And just as an indication, 531 00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:05.239 once you get to the point where you need to have dialysis is when your 532 00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:09.800 kidney function the GFR which is the filtration right drops down below fifteen. And 533 00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:14.000 so he was in the low twenties, so this is kind of danger zone. 534 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:19.000 And his creatine, which is the waste build up, was in the 535 00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:24.119 threes and it shouldn't really be above like one point two. So he was 536 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:28.880 not in good shape and he was feeling horrible, you know, no energy. 537 00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.400 Uh. Just so I pulled all his blood work. He was dealing 538 00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:40.079 with, you know, iron deficiency issues and because the kidneys just weren't you 539 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:45.400 know, properly dealing with the red blood cell production, and so he was 540 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:49.519 just really in a bad spot. So I give him and his wife this 541 00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:51.880 task, and I say, okay, go home, and you know, 542 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.000 every time you eat, you know, write down what you're eating, you 543 00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:59.400 know, try to be as specific as possible. They came back a week 544 00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:01.320 later. We sit down and it took quite a while because you know, 545 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:06.000 I was very particular about it, and we went through we added up how 546 00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:10.559 many grams of protein each day he was eating, and he had on most 547 00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:16.639 days about ninety grams of protein that he was eating. And part of it 548 00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:21.559 was too because he was in the morning he would have a you know, 549 00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:23.920 bowl of cereal, plus he would drink you know, a full glass of 550 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:28.320 milk, which you know, gave him another you know, ten grams of 551 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:32.960 protein right there, and so he never realized and he had gone and talked 552 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:38.480 to the renal dietician who obviously never discussed this with him. So so we 553 00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:42.639 go through and he was alarmed. He was like, oh my goodness. 554 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.840 I said, yeah, based on your current kidney you know, function, 555 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:52.119 you really shouldn't be getting more than about forty forty five grams of protein each 556 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:54.599 day. So he was like, wow, so I'm getting like at least 557 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:59.840 double that on most days and I'm like, uh yeah. So we changed 558 00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:06.039 up is his diet and this was the amazing takeaway with this whole story. 559 00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.320 So one month later, so we changed his diet and now he's starting to 560 00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:13.039 feel better because now he's eating healthier and all the fund that goes along with 561 00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.679 that. And they were very particular. I mean, they kept their food 562 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.920 diary to a tea and they'd come back and they'd see me every week and 563 00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:24.199 they they get their blood work done or he gets his blood work done and 564 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:28.119 he comes in and he goes, You're never going to believe this. He 565 00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.599 goes and my nephrologist says, what are you doing? Like what happened in 566 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:35.960 the course of this last month, because this is something's wrong here in a 567 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:40.159 good way. And so his kidney function had gone from the low twenties to 568 00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:46.519 the mid forties. And his GFR, which was in the above A three, 569 00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:50.480 I mean, his cratny level which was above A three, had dropped 570 00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:53.400 down to one point five. So it was still too high, but it 571 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:58.039 was and he was like, I can't believe this, This all happened because 572 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.599 of my diet. I was like, hey, you know, let food 573 00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:05.280 be thy medicine. If that's not the screaming to you, I don't know, 574 00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:07.679 you know how else to explain it. But this is why protein intake 575 00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:13.800 is so important, because we understand that the body needs protein. We must 576 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.679 have it for all of these different functions, not just for muscle mass. 577 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:21.360 We're thinking immune system, for our mood, for you know, detoxification, 578 00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.760 all the reasons why we need protein. But we don't want to overdo protein. 579 00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:30.199 So if you know that you have, you know, a little declining 580 00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:36.480 kidney function, make sure you pay attention to how you space your protein out 581 00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:39.360 throughout the day. So it's just the key takeaway because you never want to 582 00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:45.840 fall into that category where every year your kidney function is getting worse, and 583 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:47.599 you talk to your doctor and they say, oh, well, that's just 584 00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.000 part of aging. It's not so, you know, in the traditional medical 585 00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:57.320 field, that's usually the default is that that's just part of aging. No, 586 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.159 we don't have to feel horrible as we get older. I mean, 587 00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:04.920 we have to face the reality we're all getting older, but we don't have 588 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:08.639 to do this in the most difficult way possible. We don't have to go 589 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:15.639 through life with no energy and feeling anxious and feeling on edge and feeling bloated 590 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:22.840 and having achy joints and not sleeping good. That's not normal and we shouldn't 591 00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:25.599 accept it as normal. So that's why invite health. We really take that 592 00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:32.559 full wellness approach. We look at all those identifiable areas in your life that 593 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.519 we can make small, tiny, little modifications to that can improve the way 594 00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:44.920 that you feel every day. So whether it is you say I have stress 595 00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.639 up to my neck and I'm just stressed out all the time, we can 596 00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.360 help you with that, not only through the different nutrients that we offer, 597 00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:59.280 and we have so many formulations that really zero in on supporting that HPA access, 598 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:04.400 which is the hype thalmis pituitary adrenal access. So whether we're using something 599 00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:08.800 like elthianine or we use the adrenocerine formulation. That's for folks who have a 600 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.880 little bit more of that chronic stress. We want to use something a bit 601 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:20.440 more powerful, so we'll use the adrenocirine along with the althianine. But magnesium 602 00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:27.239 can be very helpful and for so many Americans being deficient or insufficient in terms 603 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:32.039 of your daily intake of magnesium, sometimes just adding in magnesium citrate or magnesium 604 00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:37.719 glycinate can be so helpful. So in any event, don't accept, you 605 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:43.320 know, feeling no energy and feeling stressed out and all of the aches and 606 00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.679 pains as just part of life and part of it. It's not so, 607 00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.679 and we can help you. So definitely reach out to us. Like I 608 00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:53.599 always say, it's a free service, So do take advantage of that. 609 00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:58.280 I mean, you can go in and you can talk to a naturopathic doctor. 610 00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:02.960 I mean, these are wonderful ladies who have gone to school for so 611 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:13.480 many years and have this really strong background in nutrition and dietary supplementation and understanding 612 00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:19.320 how these nutrients are working when you start to use them, and what you 613 00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:22.960 should expect from them. And I think that's part of the problem, is 614 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.360 say, if you just kind of wander into any old vitamin store and you 615 00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:30.679 buy a particular product, and then you're like, I don't know what is 616 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.639 this supposed to do for me? What am I supposed to feel? How 617 00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:37.840 is this? How do I know if this is working? So when you're 618 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:44.119 using any of the Invite health formulations, you've got your partner, You've got 619 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:47.679 your nutritionist who can explain this to you, who can say, yes, 620 00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:52.400 if you start using the altheneine today, you're going to start to see the 621 00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:59.360 difference today. But there may be a different product where you start using it 622 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:05.199 and maybe you don't necessarily see the change overnight. Maybe you're on it for 623 00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.119 a month and then you're like, oh, now I can see a difference. 624 00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:12.400 So to set that expectation, it's always important to talk to one of 625 00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:17.679 our nutritionness. So staying in the world of fall health, we can think 626 00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:24.480 about different nutrients that can help power up our cells energize us. And it 627 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:30.599 stays kind of in that arena of the color changes that happen during this time 628 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:37.119 of year. So the oranges, hax and the reds achax are both excellent 629 00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:43.719 options for you during this time of year because they are both loaded down with 630 00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:49.920 vitamins and minerals coming from those fruit and vegetable extracts. Now, the reds 631 00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:53.840 HAX, that's great because you're getting forty different fruit and vegetable extracts plus the 632 00:52:53.880 --> 00:53:01.360 probiotic, so you're getting that wonderful probiotic blend. We have the Oranges HAX. 633 00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:06.639 Now, the oranges HX. Weren't thinking in that field of longevity. 634 00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:13.000 This is really great because not only do we get all of the orange pigmented 635 00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:17.880 fruit and vegetable extracts in this, and this is very helpful for skin health 636 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:23.400 and for eye health, all those powerful carotenoids, but this also contains anostol. 637 00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:28.960 An anocetol is kind of in its own right like a little b complex, 638 00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:32.480 and that anostol can really help with the cell to sell communication in the 639 00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:37.960 brain. So during this time of year, as we're starting to lose hours 640 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:42.079 of daylight. Right now, it's happening in minutes, but you know, 641 00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:45.519 fast forward a couple weeks, we're gonna have daylight savings and it's going to 642 00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:51.760 be darker earlier. That can affect your mood. So taking the oranges HAX 643 00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.719 with all these power carotenoids to help to support the brain cell to have that 644 00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:04.039 anocetol in there along with touring and tourine is one of the most abundant amino 645 00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:09.039 acids in the human body, and it has really been touted as an anti 646 00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:15.719 aging amino acid, and rightfully so, because we can see how tourine is 647 00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:22.199 working across multiple systems. It helps with blood glucose regulation. It certainly is 648 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:28.320 very beneficial for the central nervous system, so for brain health as well as 649 00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:35.920 other excitable tissues such as your heart, so we're thinking cardiovascular benefit, blood 650 00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:43.599 glucose benefit, regulation of cholesterol, as well as detoxification. So when you're 651 00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:49.760 taking one scoop of oranges HX during the fall, you're getting the power of 652 00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:53.039 those carotenoids to help your eyes, you get the power of the anocetol to 653 00:54:53.159 --> 00:54:58.800 help our brain so that we feel better, and of course we get that 654 00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:04.559 touring which is going to help support all of the excitable tissues and all those 655 00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:08.960 cells in the body, help to support circulatory system, and it also helps 656 00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:15.199 to protect the endcaps of your chromosomes.
