Happy Saturday morning to everyone out there. Sounds like 9 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:52.000 you're off to a chilli start to your morning, which is the opposite of 10 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.079 what I'm experiencing. It's already starting to warm up nicely down here in South 11 00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.439 Florida, and I am excited to get today's show off and running. I 12 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:06.159 have many things that I want to discuss on this Saturday morning with you. 13 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.280 Of course, I do a lot of research throughout the week, and I 14 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.400 read through a lot of different scientific journals and studies. But I was tasked 15 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.239 with a special thing to do this week, and in doing that, I 16 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.879 thought, oh, you know what, I think I'm going to talk about 17 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.319 that on Saturday show because it just kind of reinforces to me once again when 18 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:34.480 we look at the American diet and the detrimental outcomes to a standard American diet, 19 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.879 and when we incorporate in good foods, how well our body actually responds 20 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.959 to that. So in any event, I'm gonna get into digestive health a 21 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.560 bit today because I was looking through some science throughout the week and it just 22 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.920 once once I started reading everything again, I was like, why why is 23 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:05.159 it that we are still stuck at the point that we are unaware that the 24 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:12.000 way that our foods interact with our body can either help us or hurt us. 25 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.960 And of course taking the right nutrients in addition to your food so hence 26 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.639 supplementation, how beneficial that can really be. And unfortunately, there's so many 27 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.520 things that are out there that people use on a regular basis that are just 28 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.639 really not good for you. So I'm going to talk about that. Of 29 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.360 course, I always like to talk about, you know, things that are 30 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.759 happening that are relevant, And if you've listened to me before in the past, 31 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.560 you know I like sports, so it's like sports spectacular right now, 32 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.879 because you got the the winding down of hockey leading into the playoffs, you 33 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.680 got the kickoff to baseball, you have, you know, the Women's Final 34 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.280 four. I watch both of the games yesterday. Of course I watched the 35 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.159 Red Wings lose to the Rangers. But the Rangers, I mean, you 36 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.039 guys have a good team up there. You guys are looking really strong going 37 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.520 into the playoffs. And then of course I follow IndyCar racing and there's so 38 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.520 many things that I like to dabble in in terms of my sports watching. 39 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:29.520 But we know that with sports, we oftentimes have athletes who will come in 40 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:35.159 to Invite Health who are seeking out our help and support with different supplements that 41 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.479 they can take. So perhaps you yourself are an avid sports fan or an 42 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:46.000 athlete yourself and you're looking for different nutrients, please stop by an Invite Health 43 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.439 store talk to one of our nutritional experts. They are wonderful. They are 44 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.560 so well versed on so many different health topics, and that is a free 45 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.560 service, so you can take advantage of that. You can, you know, 46 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.719 by one of the stores and just have a chat with them and they 47 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:09.080 can help identify which supplements would be most ideal for your specific needs. So 48 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:15.840 today is the International Day of Sports as well as the National Student Athlete Day, 49 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.959 so I have sports on my mind. It's a big sports weekend and 50 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.399 I will be watching everything, and the Tigers are off to a great start 51 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.040 as well, so hey, you know, for those who like sports, 52 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.240 this is a very good weekend. And I know for all of you up 53 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.480 there in New York, you're probably still recovering from having an earthquake, which 54 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.680 I was absolutely surprised by, and I'm sure you were too, but you 55 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.480 know that those things they happened, but I'm sure it was quite alarming for 56 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.879 anyone that actually experienced that felt that that rattle of the earth. And of 57 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.879 course we have the solar eclipse that is right around the corner coming up on 58 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:02.279 Monday, so let me get right to it. As far as today's main 59 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.360 focus, which is digestive health, and I deal with so many individuals on 60 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:15.720 a regular basis who are seeking out supplemental support for perhaps acid reflux or maybe 61 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:23.199 they have irritable bowel. There are a variety of different ways that GI problems 62 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:29.160 can arise and present, and each person's different. And I remember many years 63 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.759 ago when someone stopped I invite and they were asking me. They said, 64 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.040 oh, my doctor says, you know, I have pancreatic insufficiency. And 65 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.120 you know, I pause for a moment, because back when I was in 66 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.560 medical school, we didn't really talk about pancreatic insufficiency. But now that I've 67 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.199 been in the natural world for so long, I recognize, Oh, what 68 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:59.680 they are actually describing is the lack of pancreatic enzymes being released from your pancreas 69 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.120 that aid in digestion. So why does that happen? Well, there's a 70 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:10.920 variety of different reasons as to why this can occur. First and foremost is 71 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.439 aging. I mean, as we get older, oftentimes many things become less 72 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:25.800 efficient and the release of digestive enzymes and adequate amounts starts to diminish. So 73 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:31.079 this is why we have offered digestive HX, and it's remained one of our 74 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:38.439 most popular formulations for so many years because what the digestive HX actually is, 75 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:46.759 it's this wonderful blend of digestive enzymes. So as we are combating aging and 76 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.639 our pancreas is making less enzymes and it becomes more difficult to properly digest and 77 00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:00.319 absorb our foods. We can take digestive HX and I'll talk about what's actually 78 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.519 contained in this formulation in a moment. But let me just go back to 79 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.439 you know why I even wanted to talk about this today. So during the 80 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:16.240 week, I was looking into a topic and that topic happened to be digestive 81 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:24.160 aids. And in doing that, I came across once again a topic that 82 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.279 I like to discuss, which is why is it that people continue to take 83 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:36.959 the over the counter ant acids? And when you look at gourd, so 84 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.120 gastro esophageal reflux disease, and you look at the statistics on this, we 85 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.000 know that this is quite prevalent here in the United States because of the foods 86 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:55.199 that people are eating, those ultra processed foods and following that standard American diet. 87 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.959 But gourd is a chronic and highly prevalent disorder, which which is completely 88 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:07.439 avoidable. But when you look at the review, and this is what I 89 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.959 did this week as I was going through and I was looking at all of 90 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.040 the epidemialogy or the statistics on how common GIRD is, and I always tell 91 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.560 folks, you know, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that, 92 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.560 you know, acid reflux and other GI issues are a problem in this 93 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.199 country. You just can look at a Sunday circular for any of your local 94 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.559 pharmacies and you will see that they dedicate you know, a good two pages 95 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.879 to all of those, you know, acid reflux medications, the anti acids, 96 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.879 things for diarrhea, things for bloating, you know, the gas X, 97 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.519 the thumbs, all of those, and you say, oh, oh, 98 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.240 yeah, this they since they advertise so much on this, this must 99 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.240 be a problem. And it clearly is that. It is estimated that it's 100 00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.200 probably upwards close to thirty percent of the US population is dealing with acid reflux 101 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.639 or falls under that umbrella of gourd. So that's a really large amount of 102 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.919 individuals. You know, when you look statistically at certain conditions, you know, 103 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.559 once you're hitting that two percent of the population, three percent, four 104 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.039 percent, then you're saying, okay, yeah, that's fairly common. But 105 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.159 when you hit thirty percent, that's an awful lot of people. So in 106 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.840 looking at the studies throughout the week and then identifying, you know, the 107 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:39.159 most common treatments that people turn to, whether that be based off of the 108 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.159 advice of their physician, or just you know, they are self medicating and 109 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.600 they go into a pharmacy and they get an over the counter ant acid something 110 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.039 like TOMS. I always pause and go, you know, why is it 111 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.440 that we're still, you know, doing this. Why don't we first and 112 00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:01.879 foremost eat better foods. Why don't we support the way that our body absorbs 113 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.320 and breaks down those foods with the help of a product like digestive HX. 114 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.279 If we take one capsule of digestive HX prior to a meal, this will 115 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:22.399 help the body be more ready to break those proteins and fats and carbohydrates down. 116 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.759 So we know that the aging process brings with that a slowing of the 117 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.120 release of pancreatic enzymes. Hence we fast forward to now there's so many people 118 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.480 being diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency and what is the common treatment for that. While 119 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.320 the doctors will say, well, we're going to prescribe you digestive enzymes. 120 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:50.440 So we've been having this product, the digestive HX for so many years because 121 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:58.120 we recognize how the physiology of this is working in the body. And so 122 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.360 then you say, okay, well we partner the up with the bad foods, 123 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.320 and we've got, you know, close to thirty percent of the population 124 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.320 dealing with acid reflux. And all of these folks are for the most part 125 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.720 running off and taking their tombs. And you look at the sales of antacids 126 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:20.399 in this country, and I mean Tombs in particular. They are the leading 127 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.720 brand of antacid tablets in the United States, and they pride themselves in this. 128 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.080 You know, they said sixty million bottles, sixty million bottles are sold 129 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.000 every single year, and so you have to go, hmm, well, 130 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.159 this is common many people you probably you know know someone who has used TOMS. 131 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:52.320 And my problem with TOMS is the quality and being in the natural world 132 00:11:52.519 --> 00:12:00.639 understanding how we can utilize formulations such as digestive HX as as well as our 133 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:07.000 formulation known as men acid, which is a nature's variety of something like tombs, 134 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.559 where we are using different botanicals to help to support and to enhance the 135 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:20.240 way in which our foods digest and to ease any of that acid that is 136 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:28.320 creeping back up into the upper GI tract. So, when we look at 137 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:35.200 our options as to what we can be taking, if we do experience the 138 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:43.200 occasional indigestion or heartburn, then we should not be using things that have different 139 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:50.480 chemicals in them. So when you break down what's actually contained in something like 140 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.320 tombs, and you say, well, why are they putting artificial colors in 141 00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:00.039 that? You know, and I go on oftentimes about artificial colors and the 142 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.360 detrimental health effects that go along with artificial colors. They basically, in a 143 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:11.000 sense, start to eat away the lining of the intestines. So if we 144 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.320 have a GI issue and then we're taking something to treat the symptoms of that 145 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:24.399 and it's actually exacerbating the condition and making proper absorption even worse because of the 146 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.919 artificial colors, then that's a big problem. And so this is something that 147 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.159 I kind of stumbled back into again this week, and I thought, you 148 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.840 know, we have these wonderful formulations. We have the mint acid, which 149 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.440 has this wonderful botanical blend. We have the digestive HX. I really need 150 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.440 to talk about these two products. And I have other things that I'm going 151 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.000 to be discussing today as well, but I just wanted people to understand that 152 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.799 if you happen to have that tombs sitting in your medicine cabinet. I want 153 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.159 you to really zero in on why it is that swapping that out for or 154 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:07.440 the min acid formulation would be incredibly advisable just for your own GI health moving 155 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.720 forward. So I do need to squeeze in a quick break, so stick 156 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.679 around with me.

You know, many years ago I used to not name 174 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.559 the brand, but I figure, well, you know, Toms, they're 175 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.320 out there and they teut uh, you know how long they've been around, 176 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:56.679 and they're the best selling ant acid on on the market. But I look 177 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.279 at it from a different angle. I look at it and I say, 178 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.320 well, what's actually in this? What's in Toms? And when you say, 179 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.840 well, why do they put cornstarch in it? And why is their 180 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.279 blue number one? Why is their red number forty? Why is yellow number 181 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:18.000 five? Yellow number six? Why are these in something that you were taking 182 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:25.159 for your GI tract When we know, we clearly understand that all of those 183 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:33.840 artificial colors create havoc for our digestive track. So but yet people are continue 184 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.480 to go out and eat the bad foods don't take their digestive enzymes, so 185 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.639 that all your body's struggling to break things down, the acid starts to build 186 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.480 up. And remember, acid reflux is generally brought on because not of excess 187 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.840 acid, but actually the opposite. It's because of a low acid environment. 188 00:16:52.919 --> 00:17:00.200 We don't have enough enzymes, we don't have enough hydrochloric acid pepsin within the 189 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.960 stomach juices, the gastric juices, and because of that, we eat these 190 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.000 different foods and the ultra processed foods with all these strange chemicals in it, 191 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.519 and the body goes, what the world is this, and then that acid 192 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:18.279 will start to go back up into the esophagus and that's that heartburn that people 193 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.240 actually are experiencing. So this is kind of an auto fix, right. 194 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.920 We just try to avoid the ultra processed foods and all those weird, strange 195 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:33.200 chemicals, and we do one thing that's incredibly proactive, which is we know 196 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.920 as we get older, once we hit forty fifty years old, those natural 197 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:45.000 digestive enzymes begin to diminish, so we start to take digestive HX, especially 198 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:51.319 with our heaviest meal of the day. For individuals who already experience GI issues, 199 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:57.319 then taking digestive HX prior to every meal would be the smartest choice. 200 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.599 But for someone who's you know, forty fifty years old, you feel like 201 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:07.839 your digestive health is pretty good, then taking that digestive HX capsule prior to 202 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.960 your heaviest meal of the day. So maybe that's your lunch, or perhaps 203 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.559 that's your dinner, maybe it's your breakfast, however you eat. So in 204 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:22.039 any event, starting to take that is being proactive to combat the issues that 205 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.319 can arise so that you don't turn into one of those statistics that thirty percent 206 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:32.160 of Americans who are dealing with gurd So we can avoid this, we don't 207 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:37.799 have to become a statistic to this. And if we do have the occasional 208 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.519 indigestion or heartburn, we eat something out of our normal pattern, or perhaps 209 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.839 you just didn't take your digestive HX and then you eat something and you feel 210 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:51.880 that that just kind of uneasy feeling after eating. We don't want to be 211 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.079 turning to Tom's. We say to ourselves, do I really need right now 212 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.920 after this meal? Do I really need blue number one? Do I need 213 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.480 Red number forty in my system? Right now. Probably not why because I 214 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:10.240 know that these artificial colors are not good for my system. So in turn, 215 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:15.440 what do we turn to? We turn to min acid and min acid 216 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.039 is this wonderful blend of DGL and I talked about DGL a couple of weeks 217 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:27.880 ago. That's the deglystronized licorice extract. Wonderful for the oral microbiome. It's 218 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:33.200 very helpful. So as you're chewing on min acid, this is going to 219 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.559 help with the microbial environment in the mouth and it actually helps to fight off 220 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:47.000 dental carries or what we know as the bacterias that can cause cavities. So 221 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:52.880 we get the side benefit of using min acid for oral health. But we 222 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:59.519 also have in this min acid we have slippery elm extract, and there's marshmallow 223 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.759 root extract, not actual marshmallows, folks, We're not thinking about the white, 224 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:08.640 fluffy sugar. We are talking about marshmallow root extract. And then there's 225 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:18.319 plantain extract. In this we have found that this combination of these wonderful, 226 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:30.559 wonderful plant based nutrients do such a great job at creating this calming and soothing 227 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.640 effect within the upper GI tract that when people start to use this, they 228 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.720 will come back in and they will say, I don't know why I have 229 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.799 been using TOMS for all of these years. I should have been using min 230 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:48.640 acid. And you start to recognize that when you were using things from nature 231 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:56.319 such as slippery elm extract such as that DGL, that have been studied extensively 232 00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:03.759 and shown to be highly effective at targeting those issues such as indigestion and reflux, 233 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.359 that it makes a lot of sense that you would want to make sure 234 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:12.279 that you always have a bottle of mint acid in your medicine cabinet as opposed 235 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:17.839 to the thumbs. So the next time you experience, as I mentioned, 236 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.200 heartburn, and hopefully you don't ever experience that, but if you do, 237 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:29.240 then instead of turning to the blue number one and the red forty and the 238 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.319 yellow five, the yellow six that the tombs is providing you, you say, 239 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.880 you know, I think I'm going to use my mint acid. The 240 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:45.079 University of Maryland they broke down all of the multiple benefits that go along with 241 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:52.440 marshmallow extract and how it is that that marshmallow extract works in a sense, 242 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.400 as they call it, like a muselage. So it creates this coating along 243 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.720 the upper digi, just a tract, and this is what can help to 244 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.960 soothe and ease any of that inflammation that can occur within the upper gi. 245 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.480 It's been used in the setting and studied in the setting of different respiratory conditions, 246 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:19.240 including bronchitis and asthma. You know a lot of folks in different parts 247 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:26.279 of the world use marshmallow extract if they have the common cold that includes having 248 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:32.599 a cough, because it's that effective. It's been around for that long, 249 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:40.000 well before something like tombs came out, and we look at slippery elm in 250 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:45.440 this same setting. We know that this has been an herbal remedy throughout North 251 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:52.079 America for hundreds of years, and it helps, once again to coat and 252 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.240 soothe the throat, the stomach, the intestines, and so if we can 253 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:03.240 use a product such as man acid that contains these wonderful nutrients, then this 254 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.880 is what we should be turning to. And for me, when I was 255 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.880 researching everything this week and saying, oh gosh, there's so many Americans that 256 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:17.240 are dealing with acid reflux. You have so many folks who deal with irritable 257 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.640 bowel. We need to do better with the foods that we are eating, 258 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.680 eating whole foods, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, but goodness, we really 259 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:33.039 need to stop using products that have cornstarch and talk and artificial colors. I 260 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.400 mean, why is there talk? I always say that why in the world 261 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.799 is their talk? And Tom's I don't know, folks, I can't explain 262 00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:45.119 that one. All I know is that you will not find that ever in 263 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.200 my home. You will only find min acid. And my diet's very very 264 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:56.759 good. It wasn't in the past. I always talk about when I was 265 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.519 in medical school. Goodness, gracious, I was a train wreck when it 266 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.799 came to the foods that I was eating. But now I have a very 267 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:11.839 strong adherence to Mediterranean style way of eating, so I don't experience heartburn. 268 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.599 But I will say from time to time, and it's as I've gotten older. 269 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.680 If I go out to a restaurant, for example, you know, 270 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.680 I'm going out with family and we go out to a restaurant, and I 271 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.480 still try to order as healthy as I possibly can off of the menu. 272 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.240 There are times where you know, you just kind of feel like, eh, 273 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.000 you know, maybe that that just isn't sitting quite well with me. 274 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:41.839 So having min acid very helpful, and then thinking about just age related or 275 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:48.319 age induced loss of enzymes, and we kind of go back to that pancreatic 276 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.960 insufficiency. This is where that digestive HX comes into play, which contains betain 277 00:24:53.119 --> 00:25:00.960 hydrochloride. It has that wonderful blend of those pancreatic enzymes, so it has 278 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:10.119 the pepsin which helps to break down your proteins. So when we are using 279 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.559 liepace to break down fats and amylase to break down the carbohydrates, and this 280 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:22.960 is all contained in one single capsule of digestive HX, and digestion we know 281 00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:30.920 begins not just within the stomach or in the intestines. This is a process 282 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:38.519 that begins as soon as we smell food and we get that release of digestive 283 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:44.720 enzymes in the mouth, so we have the salivary amylase, which is once 284 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.400 again why that DGL that licorice extract that you find in man acid is so 285 00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:56.640 beneficial because it helps to optimize the oral health. So we have better release 286 00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:03.440 of those salivary enzymes to help aid in the breakdown of the foods. And 287 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:10.000 we know that as we get older, our production of those enzymes goes down 288 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:17.839 in the International Journal of Pancreatology. That's a mouthful there, But the International 289 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.759 Journal of Pancreatology all the way back in nineteen eighty eight, they actually looked 290 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:30.799 at the level of pancreatic secretion as people begin to grow older in chronological age, 291 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.799 and they could see the major shift between people who were in their mid 292 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:44.359 thirties comparing that to people who were in their mid sixties, and the significant 293 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:52.480 reduction in those pancreatic enzymes was quite profound. So this is not something new. 294 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.920 So when you hear someone say, oh, you know, my doctor 295 00:26:53.960 --> 00:27:00.799 says that I have pancreatic insufficiency, this is it's a newer diagnose, but 296 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.759 it's not something that's new. This is something that has been occurring in the 297 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:11.240 human body since the beginning of time that things become less efficient. And so 298 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:18.000 this is why including in digestive HX with that wonderful blend, having that bromolin, 299 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:25.039 having the pain, those are wonderful proteolic enzymes that aid in the breakdown 300 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.559 of proteins. They help ease inflammation throughout the GI tract. And once we 301 00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:36.319 start to do that, we are going to optimize the way in which our 302 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:41.359 nutrients are absorbing even within our intestines, and this is always key. I 303 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.440 tell this to folks often who come in and say, you know, I've 304 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.200 been using nexium or prilo sac. I use TOMS on a regular basis. 305 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.720 And so we first talked about changing their foods. You know, well, 306 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.480 let's look at you know, more of an adherence to foods that your body 307 00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:03.200 can process easier. But we also have to recognize that your intestinal absorption has 308 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:08.039 been compromised. So even if you're taking a multi vitamin, the core multivitamin, 309 00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:14.359 we want to make sure that we get the most out of that multivitamin. 310 00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:21.880 So the inclusion of digestive HX actually works as a facilitator to help the 311 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:29.160 multi vitamin, your fish oil, your invite health, you biquenol with NADH. 312 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:34.720 It allows all of those to absorb much more efficiently because we are priming 313 00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:41.240 the GI tract so that we are kind of going back in time to when 314 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.400 we were twenty years old, when our absorption rates are at their peak. 315 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.920 So we know that we can achieve this. It's just setting the stage. 316 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:56.000 It's making sure we have all of the key players in place. So we 317 00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.839 have to look at the foods that we are eating, we have to look 318 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:04.119 at how do we optimize the absorption of those foods, so through supplementing with 319 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:11.039 digestive HX, and of course we want to make sure that we are also 320 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:17.200 taking other nutrients that will help aid in digestion. So when we look at 321 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:22.200 probiotics, when we look at fish oil or krill oil, advanced nutrients that 322 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:30.720 we know help to allow for a healthy microbiome and help to ease inflammation throughout 323 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:37.480 not just the GI track, but the entire system. So that's enough on 324 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:44.359 my talk on toums today. But in any event, stop by an Invite 325 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.359 Health store, go to our website invite heealth dot com and get your min 326 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:53.279 acid min Acid.

We have a lot to cover still 344 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:33.599 on today's show. It's reading a study that came out of Ohio State University 345 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:41.759 and I found it quite interesting. There's always a lot of talk about, 346 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.680 you know, pre op routines, and I get a lot of calls and 347 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.480 a ton of emails on this topic. If someone's going in for any type 348 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.640 of a surgery, oh, email me and say, you know, hey, 349 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.000 Amanda, you know my my doctor said, or you know whoever they're 350 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.559 working with at the hospital, that I have to stop all of my supplements, 351 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.119 you know, for a week before I go in for surgery. You 352 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.640 know, is this the case? You know? Do I really have to 353 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.440 stop taking my co Q ten? Do I really need to stop taking my 354 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:17.480 fish oil? So I get these questions on a regular basis, And the 355 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:21.400 truth to it is that generally, for the most part, no, you 356 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.920 really don't need to stop anything except for things that we know have a potential 357 00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:30.519 for, you know, more extensive blood thinning effects, so say natural vitamin 358 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.720 E or token triantles you'd want to give yourself, you know, forty eight 359 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:38.160 to seventy two hours prior to a surgery, of removing that out of your 360 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.519 supplementation routine. But as far as you know, taking your ZINCX, your 361 00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.599 vitamin DS, your you know, probiotics, you know, do you need 362 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:51.480 to stop taking those before a surgery? No? So, but what we 363 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.599 do know is that foods matter before a surgery. And I think that this 364 00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:00.000 is an area and I can reflect back to when I was in medical stipe 365 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:06.680 and doing my surgical rotations and when we would have pre app consultations with patients, 366 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:14.160 we never we never discussed foods leading into surgery, you know, what 367 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.680 they should be doing. The main thing was, you know, no, 368 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:21.440 don't eat or drink anything for twelve hours you know, pre app. But 369 00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:24.039 that was pretty much the only instructions that were given out. So I can 370 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:30.440 only you know, kind of assume that that's still probably the standard routine is, 371 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:32.319 you know, don't eat or drink anything for twelve hours before you have 372 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.480 your surgery. But this study out of Ohio State is really interesting because they 373 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:43.960 said that eating fatty food in the days leading up to surgery can heighten the 374 00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:52.160 inflammatory response in the brain that interferes for many weeks, they said with memory. 375 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.279 And this has always been a concern is when you have an older individual 376 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:05.000 who's going in for surgery, is the postop anesthesia cognitive issues. So after 377 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.079 you go under the knife, and ideally you never have to do that, 378 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:09.920 but you know, if you have to go in and you have to have 379 00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:15.559 a surgery done and they put you under so you have that anesthesia, there's 380 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:22.760 always that concern, especially as we get older that this can affect our memory 381 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.480 and how long can that last. It really can vary. But what was 382 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.320 interesting about this study out of Ohio State was that they were looking at the 383 00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:36.519 foods specifically, and they were saying, you know, if you're eating fatty 384 00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:40.719 foods, so hence a standard American diet, you know you're stopping buy fast 385 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.280 food the day before a surgery, this is going to lead to some issues. 386 00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:52.000 Now, what was fascinating about this was they had this hypothesis that this 387 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:58.039 would just be you know, more implicated in older individuals, but what they 388 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:04.599 actually found was this was the same case in younger individuals who went in for 389 00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.199 surgery. So if their diet was really bad leading into surgery and then coming 390 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:17.639 out postoperatively, they were starting to see the effects on cognition or memory and 391 00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:22.119 brain function. And they said because of that neuro inflammation, that brain inflammation 392 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:29.199 that was driven up because of those foods, and this led to this activation, 393 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:34.039 this overstimulation of the immune system, which then in turn made it harder 394 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:39.360 for them to recover postoperatively. And not just in the setting of memory, 395 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:45.000 but also when you think about wound healing. But at the end of the 396 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:50.840 day they go through and it's a quite detailed study, but what their conclusion 397 00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:57.880 was was that, hmm, well, we know that omega three fatty acids 398 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:05.679 these really helpful fats. Maybe we should be looking at these as a pre 399 00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.960 op routine. And they said, with all of the evidence out there suggesting 400 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:16.280 that these you know, powerful omega threes work to offset inflammation that occurs in 401 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.519 the body, maybe what we should be telling patients is, you know, 402 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:28.000 you need to be supplementing with omega three fatty acids. So whether you're taking 403 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.559 fish oil or krill oil or flaxeed, you should be doing this leading into 404 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:38.000 your surgery, and of course avoiding those ultra processed foods. So I just 405 00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:43.920 thought it was interesting in the setting that I still get questions about this. 406 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:49.000 I still get individuals who reach out to me and say, my doctor said 407 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:53.400 I can't take my fish oil or I can't take anything prior to surgery. 408 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:57.719 And now it looks like there may be a shift in the you know, 409 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.320 traditional medical world here where they're going, hmm, maybe we should talk to 410 00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:06.719 patients about not eating a horrible diet before their surgery to get better you know, 411 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.360 surgical outcomes. And maybe we should include an Omega three to help lower 412 00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:15.199 inflammation in the body before they even go under the knife, which to me, 413 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:19.159 I think is a wonderful thing. But when we do have folks who 414 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:22.320 are going in for surgery, you know, by all means reach out to 415 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.440 us. You can shoot me an email A Williams at invitehealth dot com. 416 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:30.360 I'm always happy to you know, kind of break down your routine. You 417 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:34.320 know, this is what you currently take your surgery day is this you know, 418 00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.639 this is what you should do leading into your surgery. This is what 419 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:43.360 you do post operatively. Now postop, we always want to include things that 420 00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:49.440 we know can promote healing quicker. So we look at zinc, vitamin C, 421 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.000 and vitamin D. Those are very important. So you can look at 422 00:37:53.039 --> 00:38:00.400 our immunity HX formulation as a really great go to because it's a kind nation 423 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.599 of all three of those. So you get the vitamin C, you get 424 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:06.880 the zinc, you get the vitamin D. We have to have vitamin C 425 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:13.800 and zinc in order for wounds to heal properly, and we know that many 426 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:19.960 people kind of walk around in a state of insufficient levels of both of those 427 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.559 and clearly vitamin D. But we know that vitamin C as well as zinc 428 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:28.880 levels are usually you know, teetering on the edge of being way too low 429 00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:34.320 in the average American. So if we want to encourage proper wound healing, 430 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:39.280 we want to include after our surgery that immunity HX and it may be even 431 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:46.880 advantageous to take additional vitamin C on top of what the immunity HX is providing 432 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.639 you. And then we want to think about what else helps to encourage the 433 00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:58.079 healing process along, so we can look at a product like ATP. This 434 00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.000 is something that myself as well as Jerry Hickey for years have turned to, 435 00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:07.199 especially if someone's going in for kind of a structural surgery. So you're going 436 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.239 in for a knee replacement or a hip replacement, or you have to have 437 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:17.599 you know, your rotator cuff surgery done is taking ATP. Remember what ATP 438 00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:23.519 is, that's a denisen triphosphate And if we supplement with ATP, we're giving 439 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:31.960 our cells the direct the exact direct energy that they require in order for that 440 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:38.760 cell to function properly. So when you think about going in and having knee 441 00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:45.400 replacement or hip replacement or having to have surgery done, on your rotator cuff. 442 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:52.599 We want to make sure that the body has the ability to properly energize 443 00:39:52.639 --> 00:40:00.000 within that area, within that targeted area. So adding in ATP one cap 444 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:07.599 postoperatively very helpful, very beneficial. And you can still take your ubiquhenyl COQ 445 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.320 ten with the NADH that that's still something that you're still going to take in 446 00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:16.559 addition to taking the ATP. Now we also want to think about the anesthesia. 447 00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:21.880 How do we get rid of that anesthesia in an effective way because remember 448 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:27.679 the concern always was if you're older and you go in for surgery, you 449 00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:35.920 can have that extended post anesthesia brain fog, and how do we get rid 450 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.000 of that. How do we help the body clear that anesthesia, because remember 451 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:45.239 that's a gas, so it's going into the system and it basically finds little 452 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.639 pockets in the body that it wants to hang out. So we don't want 453 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:54.000 to have extensive tissue absorption. We don't want it going and lingering in our 454 00:40:54.039 --> 00:41:00.960 fat. We don't want that to occur because that means that the clearance of 455 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.159 that anesthesia is going to be much more difficult. So part of the way 456 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:10.800 in which we have to have adequate clearance is through the liver, so NAC 457 00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:17.280 SO n acetyl cysteine is always going to be that go to postoperatively. So 458 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:22.239 if you're working with an invite nutritionness, you're going in for surgery, you're 459 00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.159 trying to figure out your pre op routine, you're trying to figure out your 460 00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:31.280 post op routine, NAC is always going to be included in that postop recovery. 461 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:36.079 So, and even if you're going in just for like a minor procedure 462 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.840 and maybe they don't have you fully under it's just kind of more of a 463 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:46.440 light anesthesia, it still would be incredibly advantageous to add in an acetyl cysteine. 464 00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:52.039 We know the power of NAC. Remember, NAC is a slightly modified 465 00:41:53.280 --> 00:42:01.039 version of the amino acid cysteine, and we know that cysteine is very important 466 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:06.960 for many functions in the body. So when we take an ACT, most 467 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:13.239 folks think about the way in which it helps to enhance glutathione production. So 468 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:19.159 that's the key antioxidant within the liver. So the more glutathione we have, 469 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:24.880 the better off we are for liver functionality and for detoxification. But taking glutathione 470 00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:34.840 on its own has its own problems, its own downsides. Glutathione alone is 471 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:42.079 very prone to breaking down just through the digestive process. So this is why 472 00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:46.960 the preferred way to build up your glutathione unless you're doing like an IV glutathione 473 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:53.960 is to take an AC so an acetylsystem. We know that overdoses on acetamenafin. 474 00:42:54.639 --> 00:43:00.400 The primary way that they treat people if they present to an immerent urgency 475 00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:06.280 room because they took too many acetomenafin and they're going into acute liver failure is 476 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:14.519 to give them IV NAC, So we know that NAC when we're supplementing with 477 00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:19.039 this in a capsule form, this is going to help to enhance the way 478 00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:25.039 in which our liver can build up additional glued tothione and help with the detoxification 479 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:32.159 and the removal of things such as toxins as well as anesthesia postoperatively. On 480 00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:37.519 top of all the other things that we know NAC does for us, it 481 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.119 works in a sense as an anti viral and antibacterial. We can look at 482 00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:46.360 the clinical research trials on that targeted towards H Pylori infections, which is the 483 00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:53.960 main cause for stomach ulcers as well as for gastric cancers. So if we 484 00:43:54.199 --> 00:44:00.159 are supplementing with NAC, we are yielding this higher LEFE level of protection. 485 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:07.360 And then of course when we look at different viruses influenza virus. Clearly NIC 486 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:12.239 has been studied now quite extensively in the setting of coronaviruses. But we know 487 00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:20.199 that NAC is a powerhouse of a amino acid that provides all of these multiple 488 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:27.199 benefits when it comes to our health, including cardiovascular support. So I'll talk 489 00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:30.360 about that on the flip side of this break. You are listening to Invite 490 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:37.360 Health Radio and I will be right back.

I am doctor Amanda Williams talking about NAC. Why that's so beneficial 503 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:52.639 postoperatively to help with the clearing of the anesthesia. How much should you be 504 00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.800 taking at least two capsules a day, which would be twelve hundred milligrams, 505 00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:05.400 but ideally postoperatively want to be taking probably three, so eighteen hundred milligrams. 506 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.320 And with NAC you always want to take that with food. I had mentioned 507 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:15.199 the benefits of NAC when it comes to cardiovascular health. I always default back 508 00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:21.360 to the European Society of Cardiology and the researchers they're looking at the It was 509 00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:27.440 a massive study the benefits of NAC after an acute heart attack. So obviously 510 00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:30.679 these are people who survived a heart attack, but they found that when they 511 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:37.280 gave them an acetyl cysteine after they had am I that it actually allowed for 512 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:45.960 the damaged heart muscle to repair itself, which is really just an amazing thing. 513 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:50.519 So when you're thinking about ncetyl cysteine, maybe you have seasonal allergies, 514 00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:52.440 maybe you have you know, post nasal drip. I mean, there's a 515 00:46:52.519 --> 00:47:00.480 variety of different ways that NAC can help to support your health. I turned 516 00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:05.679 to this particular product in our line for a variety of different reasons for folks. 517 00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.039 For those who do have seasonal allergies, I oftentimes will add in that 518 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:15.239 NAC. It really helps to thin out that mucus uh that people can experience 519 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:19.639 with seasonal allergies or if they have you know, something like COPD. Clearly 520 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:27.199 NAC is prescribed even by pulmonologists in the setting of pulmonary fibrosis as well as 521 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:32.119 COPD. So NAC has so many different uses. It's an excellent add on 522 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:37.599 to to any daily supplementation routine. Now, also thinking in the setting of 523 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:44.760 you know, how do we clear just toxins and things out of our system, 524 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.719 Well, we can look at NAC as one way, but we can 525 00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:53.639 also look at ind all three carbonyl. So our formulation contains not just the 526 00:47:53.800 --> 00:48:00.559 end all three carbonyl, but also DIM and these are derived from cruciferous vegetables. 527 00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:05.840 So it's a very natural way to help the body once again with proper 528 00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:10.239 detoxification, and it's been studied extensively. Ind all three carbonyl as well as 529 00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:15.880 them. These are two different chemical constituents that are derived from those cruciferous vegetables. 530 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.480 And you may say, what in the world is a cruciferous vegetable, 531 00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:23.840 Well, we're thinking about things like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, all 532 00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:29.679 of those, you know, common things that most people probably have come across 533 00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:34.800 on your plate from time to time, hopefully more frequently than not. You 534 00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:40.400 know, the inclusion of the cruciferous vegetables is very beneficial when it comes to 535 00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:46.440 not just GI health because of we look at the fiber and the but rate 536 00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:50.920 that can come from that and it can really help with the microbial environment with 537 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:58.639 the intestines, but so beneficial when we think about detoxification and the way in 538 00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:04.920 which end all three carbonyl and DIM have been studied, probably the greatest amount 539 00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:10.519 is in hormonal issues. So we know that as hormones break down in the 540 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.800 human body. So whether we're looking at the breakdown of estrogen or testosterone, 541 00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:22.039 we know that there's a pass that occurs through the liver, and the liver 542 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:27.679 helps to facilitate that breakdown. Once again, there's a variety of reasons as 543 00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:31.679 to why this clearance can be affected, and if we have a fatty liver, 544 00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:37.719 for example, but we have to make sure that the body can remove 545 00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:45.000 those hormone metabolites. Hormones in and of themselves are not our enemy by any 546 00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:50.639 means, but it's the metabolites. It's the breakdown products of those hormones. 547 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:55.079 And so INDOL three, carbonyl and DEM have been studied extensively in that direct 548 00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:00.599 setting for things like breast cancer, prostate cancer. Working with anyone who has 549 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:07.920 concerns about breast health or prostate health. Adding in ind all three carbonyl with 550 00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:13.079 DIM, even if it's one capsule a day, it gives you that peace 551 00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:17.079 of mind that it's allowing the liver to do better at helping with the breakdown 552 00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:24.000 and the removal of those harmful metabolites. And that's key. And we can 553 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:30.440 see how these have been studied at string cancer Prevention Center there in New York 554 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:37.239 looking at women who have breast cancer and giving them end all three carbonyl in 555 00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:45.559 addition to whatever their current treatment regimen was to allow for better breakdown and removal 556 00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:47.880 once again. And how do they test this, Well, they can look 557 00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:54.000 at urine metabolites. They can see how good that indul three carbonyl and that 558 00:50:54.079 --> 00:51:00.880 DIM does at helping the body with the clearance of that that's a particular product 559 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:07.760 in our line that sometimes it doesn't get enough highlighting of, but it really 560 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:13.400 is. It's such a great natural food based sourced you know, you think 561 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:19.320 about those cruciferous vegetables and we think about getting this powerful amount of both the 562 00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:23.320 ind all three carbonyl and DIM, and it really is just a wonderful thing. 563 00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:29.840 So for anyone who has a past history of breast cancer or a past 564 00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:35.599 history of prostate cancer, I would certainly advise that ind all three carbonyl and 565 00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:40.519 DIM be part of your supplementation routine moving forward, for sure, because we 566 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:45.280 want to make sure that we have healthy cell division that is occurring in the 567 00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:53.000 body and healthy cell division that oftentimes can be disrupted because of those hormone metabolites 568 00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:58.360 in particular, really looking at the breakdown of estrogen, and this happens in 569 00:51:58.559 --> 00:52:02.519 men and women. The way that the estrogen breaks down can be detrimental, 570 00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.519 So keep that product in mind when you're thinking about liver health. And of 571 00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:12.679 course we have our you know, daily detox formulation, we have the detox 572 00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:19.440 powder, so many different nutrients that we offer when it comes to healthy cellular 573 00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:29.039 detoxification and antioxidants they're just key to this. The higher antioxidant amount that you 574 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:32.239 take each day, the better off your body can do with fighting off all 575 00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:37.360 of those different free radicals, whether it's free radicals that come from the environment 576 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:42.519 or if it's free radicals that are building up just inside of our body. 577 00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.960 So we can look at formulations like red z HX for example, just loaded 578 00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:51.719 down with that, you know, forty fruit and vegetable extract plus the probiotic 579 00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:57.360 that's an excellent choice. Of course, using the daily detox powder, you're 580 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:02.400 getting a power punch of antioxi in that as well. One other thing that 581 00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.079 I do want to to just mention, because as we are into a little 582 00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:13.719 bit of warmer weather now into the spring, is to not forget that exercises, 583 00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.960 key folks and maybe you're a little reluctant to get out there because you're 584 00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:22.119 like, well, you know, I just don't have energy, or my 585 00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.159 knees bother me, whatever be the case. We have so many formulations that 586 00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:31.320 can help with the energy production. Taking products like active HX, which has 587 00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:37.880 the HMB which is hydroxy methyl butyrate, really is a wonderful way to encourage 588 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:44.159 healthy you know, muscle support gives your muscles that energy. Maybe you go 589 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:46.639 when you take a walk around the block and you feel a little bit winded, 590 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:52.079 taking active HX before that walk can be so helpful. So think about 591 00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:57.360 that as we know enter further into spring here. As well as all of 592 00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:02.000 our collagen formulations, we have the collagen HX, which is partnered up with 593 00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:07.719 the Boswalia extract. Remember that Boswalia helps to ease inflammation. We also have 594 00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:15.440 the collage x HA, which is very comprehensive because it includes hyaluronic acid. 595 00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:21.719 There's glucosamine in that. We know that glucosamine has been looked at as an 596 00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:29.199 anti inflammatory pain reliever. The studies on glucosemine are so impressive at this point 597 00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:32.480 in time, and so if you really want to have this comprehensive, complete 598 00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:38.280 way to support your joints. The collagex HA is a really good way to 599 00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:45.559 do this because you're getting the hydrolyzed collagen, you're getting powerful antioxidants coming from 600 00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:52.199 tumeric and GrapeSEED extract. You're also getting that hyaluronic acid along with the glucosemine. 601 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:57.119 So very easy for you to take either one of those formulations, whether 602 00:54:57.159 --> 00:55:02.239 it be the collagen HX or the college x HA one scoop a day. 603 00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:07.880 You can add that into a warm liquid if you'd like, such as coffee 604 00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:14.639 in the morning. The college XHA really blends lovely into your morning coffee, 605 00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:19.079 just FYI, So check that product out.
