Get 5 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:26.399 ready for tomorrow's nutritional Science Today right here, right now. Hello, and 6 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.880 welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at 7 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.399 Invite Health, and it sounds like you guys are off to a chili start 8 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:42.520 there in the city. I know that there's been some strange weather patterns. 9 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.679 It's been remarkably cold here in South Florida this winter. Not that I'm complaining, 10 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.560 because I know it's better than other places in the country, but it's 11 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.880 been chili. I had to bust out my sweaters many times. So I 12 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.119 am hoping that we are making a term and then of course it'll get way 13 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.079 too hot and then I'll be complaining that it's too warm, but that's okay. 14 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.760 Just want to mention that we have a few different products that are on 15 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.519 kind of a flash sell, so definitely check some of those out. We 16 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.760 have the Memory multi vitamin is on a massive discount. It's twenty four to 17 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.840 ninety five, folks, and that is just such a comprehensive formulation. Not 18 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.719 only is it a daily multi vitamin, multimineral complex, so you get basically 19 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.280 what you're getting is the core multi vitamin. So you get the advanced complex 20 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.920 of keylated minerals so that make sure that they're absorbing properly. Along with natural 21 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.439 vitamin E. You get that krotinoid blend, which is so beneficial I must 22 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.000 mention for your brain. Obviously we've always looked at krotenoids for eyehealth, but 23 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:06.640 clearly we now you fundamentally understand the science of how carotenoids are working within the 24 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.719 brain. So definitely check that product out. It has ginko below it in 25 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.439 that. If you've listened to me in the past, you know I am 26 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.759 a huge fan of ginko. I always say folks who supplement with ginko on 27 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.159 a regular basis have what is known as a beautiful brain, and the reason 28 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.960 behind that is the power of the antioxidants contained within ginko really do a marvelous 29 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:39.319 job at helping to support not only the structure of your brain cells, but 30 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:46.560 really the vascular system that runs into the brain. And as we grow older, 31 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.080 we always want to make sure that we have good blood flow going to 32 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.639 our noggin. That's very, very important. So having the ginko really leads 33 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.280 you down a path to have a healthy, aging brain. And the reason 34 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.120 why I say a beautiful brain when you look at MRIs and not that people 35 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.879 are you know, sitting around on us Saturday saying, you know what, 36 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.080 let me look at some MRIs. But you know, being that I'm in 37 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.879 the world of medicine and went to medical school, this is an area for 38 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.759 me that I find incredibly fascinating. And as a matter of fact, when 39 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.479 I was a third year, no actually a fourth year medical student, that 40 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.280 was one of my favorite rotations that I did. It was an elective rotation 41 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.560 and I did neurology, and I found it so incredibly fascinating, you know, 42 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.759 the central nervous system and just really understanding the brain itself. It's a 43 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:51.240 sad area of medicine for sure, because usually the outcomes are not always the 44 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.439 best in the people who are presenting to a neurology office usually are are having 45 00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:01.199 some significant struggles, but in any event, the science behind it is really 46 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:08.479 quite remarkable. And so when you look at an MRI and you understand the 47 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:15.480 anatomy of the brain, you start to recognize where destruction occurs just through the 48 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.680 aging process for a whole host of different reasons. You can look at diet. 49 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.199 You know, clearly, we know that diet influences brain health, which 50 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.120 is why we should be following a Mediterranean way of eating, because that leads 51 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.439 us to maintaining a nice, healthy, full brain. That's very important. 52 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.560 I always say, you don't want to be in the skinny brain line. 53 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.160 That's not the line you want to stand in when it comes to brain health. 54 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.879 But when you look at the anatomy and you can see a nice full 55 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.199 brain, and you see this optimal blood flow making its way to the brain, 56 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.720 and you say, wow, you know these folks over here, you 57 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.199 know they adhere to a Mediterranean style way of eating. They supplement with key 58 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:08.279 nutrients, healthy omega threes such as krill oil or fish oil. They're supplementing 59 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.000 with ginko biloba, and you can see the beauty of the brain. So 60 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.439 when I say a beautiful brain, that that is what I am talking about 61 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.839 and we know there are so many different factors that can lead to to problems 62 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:26.600 with brain aging, and so we always want to do our best to try 63 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.920 to avoid, you know, adding insult to injury. We know just with 64 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:38.000 the aging process alone, we have a risk of things that can start to 65 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.800 kind of go off the rails. Let's just put it that way, and 66 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.279 so we want to do everything in our power and being that we know so 67 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:53.480 much now, we can make smarter choices for ourself. Always say being proactive 68 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.879 in your own health is key to success when it comes to healthy aging. 69 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.120 And I'm all about out anti aging and aging gracefully. I think that it's 70 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.439 very very important. We know there's so many different medications out there that can 71 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:15.839 affect brain aging. Common medications that people are taking. The American Academy of 72 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:21.319 Neurology published a study in the Journal of Neurology, and they were looking at 73 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:28.079 people who took acid reflux medications. So these are commonly known as PPIs or 74 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.800 proton pump inhibitors. So just to kind of give you an idea as to 75 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:36.120 which drugs that would be, you think of something like nexium and this is 76 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:44.480 commonly prescribed folks I mean, the PPI acid reflux industry is huge, and 77 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:49.079 that should tell us something that if you have this many Americans who are requiring 78 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:56.120 the aid of a medication to help with their acid reflux and their heartburn and 79 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.279 their indigestion, maybe we need to look at the foods. You know, 80 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.839 why is it that this is occurring. But in any event, we know 81 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:10.519 that these are commonly prescribed and any time you were taking an acid reflux medication, 82 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.920 and they're so easily available and accessible now because it used to be that 83 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.040 some of the stronger ones were required via prescription only, but now you can 84 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:25.879 walk into any pharmacy and you can buy these over the counter. So a 85 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.560 lot of people are self medicating. They're not changing their diet, but they're 86 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.000 like, oh, well, if I take this, you know drug, 87 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.839 this will help. The problem is is that whenever you're on those for any 88 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.800 length of time, and I'm talking anything over two weeks, we're running the 89 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:47.360 risk of creating some havoc in our system. And this study that came out 90 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:56.240 was looking at how the long term use of proton pump inhibitors actually led to 91 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:05.040 a significant risk of cognitive declaine leading to dementia. So once again, this 92 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.439 is an area where we have to pause and say, you know, should 93 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:15.000 I be on this drug for my heartburn and for my indigestion for four, 94 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.920 five, six, ten years, or should I be looking at my diet 95 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.839 itself. And oftentimes what happens is people will try and make some you know, 96 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.040 dietary modifications. Maybe they talk to their gi doctor and they say, 97 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.759 oh, you know, just avoid high acid foods, and you try that 98 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.960 for a little while. You're trying to avoid tomatoes and things like that, 99 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.919 and after two weeks you're like, you know what, I'm going back to 100 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.200 the way that I'm eating. This medication seems to be working for me. 101 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:50.519 I'm not having as much you know, heartburn. It's just not the way 102 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.840 to approach this. We really need to find out what is, you know, 103 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.600 the causative reason for this. And we can link this to once again 104 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:05.120 the aging process, the lack or inadequate release of digestive enzymes that occur within 105 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.440 the human body as we get older. So supplementation with a formulation such as 106 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:16.360 digestive HX would be incredibly advantageous. I mean, I encourage anyone over the 107 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.000 age of forty to start using digestive HX at least with their heaviest meal of 108 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.840 the day, because that combination of those digestive enzymes really leads you down this 109 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:35.440 path to healthier digestion and optimal absorption. But when you are using a proton 110 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.519 pump inhibitor for you know, one year, two years, you know, 111 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.440 I've talked to folks who have been on these medications for twenty years and then 112 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.240 you look and you go, hmm, you know, is the memory issues 113 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.879 that you're having or mild cognitive impairment that you're experiencing, is this, you 114 00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:01.000 know, just relevant to just aging. And the to that is no, 115 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.159 you know, the aging brain should not be struggling because if we're doing the 116 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:13.879 right things with our diet, with getting good healthy sleep, with managing our 117 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.039 stress, and taking the right nutrients making sure that we're getting brain supporting nutrients 118 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.600 that come from formulations like the Memory multi vitamin, then we're doing really well. 119 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.840 So the Memory Multivitamin being that that's on special right now for twenty four 120 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:35.240 to ninety five, you get this comprehensive blend of nutrients that contains the genko 121 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:41.080 bloba along with those carotenoids. Of course, you're also getting CDP coaling. 122 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.399 So this is a key and very important fat that helps to maintain the structure 123 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.039 of your brain. But it also does something really unique, which is to 124 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.519 help the brain produce additional acetyl coalin. And we know that acetyl colin is 125 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.799 key to memory. So when we are supplementing with CDP holy, not only 126 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.919 do we help to maintain the brain volume, we're also helping to enhance the 127 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:16.919 ability and the capacity for new memory, for retaining old memory, so we 128 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.360 have good recall for example. And then it also contains a trace mineral known 129 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.039 as lithium. And most time when people think of lithium, you think of 130 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.840 a lithium battery, but the trace mineral lithium. The human body requires this 131 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.399 in a very small amount each day, and unfortunately we just don't get enough 132 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.879 just from dietary intake a loan. And when you look at areas of the 133 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.440 world where lithium content is higher just coming from the soil, you find healthier 134 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:54.679 brain aging and less cases of dementia in Alzheimer's. So having a supplement such 135 00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.039 as the memory multi item in that contains lithium that helps the brain clear itself 136 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.000 from debris and clutter, because we can build up an awful lot of clutter 137 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.000 just in one single day, you know, from air pollution, from stress, 138 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.840 from our bad foods that we're eating, and we want to be able 139 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.200 to remove that. We know that lithium one of its functions is to help 140 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:28.840 to remove that, and so through supplementation of the memory multi vitamin, not 141 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.000 only are we helping to support memory moving forward, but we're also helping for 142 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.960 focus and attention. So it's our number one go to product when it comes 143 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.360 to optimizing brain health. So I encourage you to check that one out. 144 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:52.840 There are so many studies that have dropped in the last week that really tie 145 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.080 together, you know, all of the ways to which the brain can be 146 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.159 affected. You know, we can clearly look at the use of proton pump 147 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.159 inhibitors and this study that came out of the American Academy of Neurology and recognizing 148 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:15.559 that long term use of those proton pump inhibitor drugs can lead to cognitive decline. 149 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:22.480 We can also recognize where a lack of antioxidants in our diet and if 150 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:30.519 you're not supplementing with antioxidants, how this also can lead to problems with brain 151 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.879 aging. So when you're supplementing with the memory multi item and you're getting all 152 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:41.679 of these powerful antioxidants, you're getting those carotenoids, you're getting the ginkgo biloba, 153 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.759 which in and of itself has very potent antioxidants. So it's a go 154 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.120 to. If you feel like you're a little cloudy brained, then definitely check 155 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.919 that product out. I want to talk a little bit more about anticholinergic drugs 156 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.240 because an interesting study just came out, but we know that they are commonly 157 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.840 prescribed. There's a whole class of different drugs that fall into this category. 158 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.879 But I do want to talk about this in some detail, so I have 159 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.159 to squeeze in a quick break. Stick around with me. I will be 160 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:20.200 right back just after this. It is cold and flu season again. Is 161 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.639 your immune system ready?

Talking about the absorption capacity of particular strains of lactobacillis shown to be 186 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:36.600 highly effective in being able to kind of bind on to those nanoplastics that we 187 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.960 pick up from all different consumer products out there, and food wrappers and what 188 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.960 you store your foods in, you know, things that you're touching throughout the 189 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.960 day that leach out. I mean, there's a lot of things that we 190 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:53.000 just don't think about as to where we can get these common chemical exposures from. 191 00:16:53.559 --> 00:17:00.519 So lactobacillis just the general family does a wonderful job. Which is why 192 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:07.839 I mentioned the probiotic women because that's four different strains of powerful lacto bacilli, 193 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:15.680 So we know it's wonderful for helping with the normal floral environment for the vaginal 194 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.680 tract as well as for men. You know, when you think about the 195 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:26.480 eurogenital health and the microbiome, it's very important, you know, to maintain 196 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.759 healthy microbes so that we are not you know, falling victim to a urinary 197 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:40.279 tract infection or for men prostatitis. Prostatitis becomes a much more prevalent condition that 198 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:45.480 men deal with as they get older, partly because of the natural enlarging of 199 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:51.519 the prostate. And it really just comes down to an anatomy issue. You 200 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.039 know, the human body is designed in its own unique way, but just 201 00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.559 the anatomy of where the prostate is located, in the way that the urethra 202 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.920 runs through there, that is you know, a area of concern. So 203 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:08.640 for men, you know, taking the probiotic women, you can definitely do 204 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:14.720 that. And it also has that wonderful blend of garlic and time extracts, 205 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.079 so once again powerful antioxidants and they help to ease inflammation. I want to 206 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:26.839 talk about those anti coal energic medications. We know that anti coalenergic medications are 207 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:34.440 commonly prescribed and there are many different classes of drugs that fall into this category. 208 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.640 And what happens is when you were taking the anti coal energic drug, 209 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:47.480 the body cannot make acetyl coaling and this can lead to memory issues. So 210 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.319 we can look at medications like benadryl, for example. We can also look 211 00:18:52.440 --> 00:19:00.279 at dittrapan, which is also known as oxybutanin, and oxybutanin is the the 212 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:07.880 most commonly prescribed drug or medication for an overactive bladder. And I have an 213 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:15.039 interesting story to tie into this about oxybutin or hence ditchrepan, and I will 214 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.440 tell you about that in just a moment. But there was a study that 215 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:25.240 came out. It was published in the Scientific Reports Journal, and I found 216 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:30.079 this actually quite fascinating because I've known about how the anti coinergic drugs can lead 217 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.880 to problems with memory, and this has been a known thing for many many 218 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:41.000 years. Unfortunately, many doctors don't recognize that, and they are still commonly 219 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:48.480 prescribing these drugs. And I mean there's drugs for there's anti spasmodic drugs, 220 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.799 which is kind of what oxybutinin would fall under. There is clearly the drug 221 00:19:52.839 --> 00:20:02.079 class that has includes the antihistamines. There are certain anti psycho medications, antidepressant 222 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:07.079 medications, so there's a whole list of drugs that are categorized as anti coalinergic, 223 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.880 and so if you're using one of those, you need to be, 224 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.880 you know, clearly aware of this because this can lead to problems when it 225 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.400 comes to cognitive function and to your memory. So of course we want to 226 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:25.440 avoid this. But in this study that came out in the Scientific Reports Journal, 227 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:32.000 they were looking at a direct association which I found incredibly fascinating, but 228 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:41.640 a direct association between anti coalenergic medication use and an accelerated decrease in lung function, 229 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.240 in particular in older individuals. And this is a big, big, 230 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:53.119 you know, find, because if you have someone who is taking a medication 231 00:20:53.440 --> 00:21:00.160 for let's just say overactive bladder, their doctor prescribes the ox buttin in or 232 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:07.000 also known as ditchrapan, and they're taking this, they start to experience some 233 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.240 memory issues and they chalk it up just to the aging process, and then 234 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.559 they start to have some problems when it comes to lung function. And this 235 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:22.160 also oftentimes can be linked to just oh, this is just part of aging, 236 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.160 but it's not. And so to see this and to see how the 237 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:34.759 use of these medications actually is leading to an incredibly accelerated decrease in lung function 238 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:42.759 is incredibly important to understand, and they actually said that the accelerated decrease was 239 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.279 comparable to that observed in smokers. And so you think, oh, my 240 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.799 goodness. You know, I've never smoked a day in my life and I'm 241 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.200 doing everything right. I have an overactive bladder, I'm taking this medication, 242 00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.119 and the next thing I know, I'm having some respiratory issues. This this 243 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.799 is a huge issue people. I mean, we cannot avoid the fact that 244 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:11.720 obviously there's times where taking a prescribed medication is incredibly warranted, but you also 245 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.759 have to just be well aware of the side effects. And this is why 246 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.680 I enjoy talking about the Invite Health product line, because when we're looking at 247 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:29.640 a particular formulation that we have at Invite Health, you may be thinking about 248 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.960 it for one particular purpose. And we can look at bladder HX as an 249 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.799 example, and you think, Okay, I'm going to be taking this formulation 250 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.759 to help to support bladder health, but also recognizing that you get these other 251 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:51.400 wonderful side benefits that go along with daily supplementation of the bladder HX formulation. 252 00:22:52.200 --> 00:23:00.160 And bladder HX is one of the best products for folks who are experience and 253 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:07.119 sing that urgent continence or overactive bladder. This is very common in both men 254 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:14.119 and women due to hormonal changes that occur throughout your life. Clearly, women 255 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:21.559 can experience to a different degree some issues when it comes to urgent continence, 256 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.000 and that can be you know, related back to you know, childbirth for 257 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:33.000 example. But we know that bladder HX, this powerful combination of nutrients can 258 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:38.160 really help to support the functionality of the bladder itself. And I'll talk about 259 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:45.839 the science on that in just a moment, but this is an interesting way 260 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.359 to understand this particular product and the power of this product. I worked with 261 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.799 one of our customers at Invite Health many years ago, and she was one 262 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.960 of my regular customers. She would bring her blood work in, we would 263 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.039 have, you know, different conversations. Talked to her about any medication she 264 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:10.880 was on, and she didn't take anything well unbeknounced to me. She never 265 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:17.680 mentioned to me that she was actually taking oxybutin in she was taking ditcher pan 266 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:19.200 And she's like, you know, Amanda, I don't know. I just 267 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:23.759 wasn't even thinking about it. I've been on this medication and I just didn't 268 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:27.160 even like, I didn't think about it in the sense of like a high 269 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.039 blood pressure medication or you know, a medication for diabetes or cholesterol. So 270 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.359 I just never mentioned that I was on this. But she, in any 271 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.039 event, she comes to me and she's talking to me about, you know, 272 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.119 how she's got a lot of stress in her life. Her husband was 273 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:48.279 getting older, and she just felt like her her memory just was not as 274 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.240 sharp. And she just kept saying, you know, I guess it's just 275 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:56.119 because I'm getting older, but I just really feel like, in the last 276 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.480 year, my memory is really really struggling. So we dove into it a 277 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.720 little bit more because I knew she was doing, you know, pretty consistent 278 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:11.559 with her supplementation routine and her diet was pretty healthy. So we start to 279 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.160 talk in some more detail, and you know, she says, you know, 280 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.880 and then I have my bladder issues and I'm getting up in the middle 281 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:19.440 of the night, and I said, oh, okay, you know, 282 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.000 so maybe we can talk about, you know, something to help you get 283 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.119 better sleep that will help with memory. And then she says, you know, 284 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.720 I've been on that medication for a couple of years now, and I 285 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.240 said, wait, what medication. She says, oh, I'm on you 286 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.200 know ditcher Pan And I said, oh, well, and when did you 287 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.480 start that medication? She says about two and a half years ago. And 288 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:44.440 I said, now, when did you start experiencing the issues with your memory? 289 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.559 She said about a year ago. And so I was like, ah, 290 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.079 you know this is your problem. That's an anti coalinergic medication. And 291 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.400 she was like, oh, I didn't. I don't know what that means. 292 00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:57.440 And so, you know, we talked about the mechanism of action, 293 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.640 how the drug is working, and I said, you know, if you 294 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.640 were someone in my family, I would definitely say don't be on that medication. 295 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.440 I'm obviously not going to tell you what to do, but I would, 296 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:15.839 you know, highly advise reconsidering and having a conversation with your doctor about 297 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.920 that medication. So the next week she you know, called up her doctor 298 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.839 said, you know what, I'm going to discontinue this medication. I'm going 299 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.000 to try a natural approach to my bladder issues. We switched over to to 300 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.279 bladder HX. She started using it went with a high amount in the beginning. 301 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.720 I believe we had her doing three capsules three times a day for the 302 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.039 first week, and then we scaled it back to three caps daily thereafter because 303 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.519 I didn't want her to have any you know, type of a transition from 304 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:52.279 switching from the prescribed medication. And within the first two weeks of her being 305 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.799 on bladder HX, she she called me up and she says, Amanda, 306 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:03.960 you're not going to believe that. I feel like my memory is coming back. 307 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:11.480 I feel like I'm sharp again. I don't have that same sensation of 308 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:18.400 just feeling a little off. And it was amazing to her that this medication 309 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.559 that she was on, because remember the side effect didn't happen overnight. She 310 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:29.160 started taking that oxybutant under the ditcher pan for her overactive bladder. Within the 311 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.200 first couple of weeks she started to see an improvement in her bladder health. 312 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:37.519 But it was you know, maybe six months in a year in that she 313 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.599 started to experience the memory issues, so she never correlated it back to her 314 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.759 prescription medication. So this is why it's always important that when you come in 315 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.920 and you speak with one of our nutritional experts, and remember they're available seven 316 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:56.039 days a week, you can pop into one of the stores. If you 317 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.279 can't make it into one of the stores, But you still want to have 318 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.200 a chat, by all means, give us a call. We're happy to 319 00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.559 patch you through to one of our nutritional experts and that's a free service. 320 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:11.880 But talk to them about all of the medications that you're on, any supplements 321 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.960 that you currently take, what your diet is like, what your exercise is 322 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:22.319 like. Have those conversations because sometimes you may not reveal something that's very important 323 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.680 for us to know so that we can help you help yourself the most. 324 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.839 And so in this situation, you know, she basically had this transformation just 325 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:38.079 by switching over to bladder HX, and she was getting an incredible amount of 326 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.599 support and she was like, you know what's kind of amazing. She's like, 327 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:48.440 I really feel like the bladder HX is much more supportive than the medication 328 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.720 ever was. I'm actually sleeping through the night. I'm not getting up to 329 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.039 have to use the bathroom. And I was doing that while I was on 330 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:02.200 the prescription medication. So now we have a side benefit. We have an 331 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:07.160 improvement in sleep quality, which means her brain has time to rest and repair, 332 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:14.920 which also helps to encourage healthy memory. So it was a win win 333 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.400 for her.

We're going to Invite health dot com and welcome 354 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:14.960 back to Invite Health Radio talking about Rodeola extract. And we know that Rodeola 355 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:22.039 extract is an adrenal adaptogenic herb and it has been shown to be incredibly beneficial 356 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:29.000 for not only helping the body to offset the negative effects of stress, and 357 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.480 we know a lot of folks have stress, but it also can help generate 358 00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:40.079 energy, which makes it really unique. And what I love about Rodeola extract 359 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:45.079 is that it works really quickly. It's not one of those supplements where you're 360 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.400 like, well, I got to take this for the next two months before 361 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.400 I notice the difference, and not that there's anything wrong if it's a formulation 362 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.839 that's like that, because sometimes we have to build up this steady state of 363 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:02.839 a particular nutrient in order for the body to really start to properly utilize that, 364 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.440 which is why being regular with your supplementation routine is key. I have 365 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.279 folks all the time that are like, well, I tried that. I 366 00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:13.799 tried it, you know, for two days, and that didn't work. 367 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:15.480 It's like, well, this is you know, the clinical studies show you 368 00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.440 have to be on it for at least eight weeks for you to really start 369 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.400 to you know, see those potential benefits. But this is not the case 370 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:29.559 with rodeola. Rodeola you see those effects instantaneous, which is a wonderful thing. 371 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.440 So you're taking this multi item in every day, the performance multi item, 372 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.319 and you're getting all those powerful vitamins and minerals, and you are getting 373 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.880 Rodeola extract, which is great for athletes, but it's also great for folks 374 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:51.440 who have a sluggish thyroid. We know that rodeola really can benefit the metabolism. 375 00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.799 We know that's going to give us this nice sense of well being and 376 00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:01.640 help to encourage better sell energy production. And then this is partnered with superoxide 377 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:10.000 dismutase, so SOD is one of our natural occurring antioxidants in the body. 378 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:16.400 Once again, we know that as we get older, those levels begin to 379 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:22.240 diminish. Well, that's a problem for a few different reasons. Once again, 380 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:28.519 not enough SOD means we don't have enough of this powerful antioxidant to protect 381 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:35.400 our blood vessels, and that's very critical. So we have seen studies where 382 00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:44.240 they actually show that low levels of superoxide dismutase have a direct link to an 383 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:52.279 increase thickening of the carotid artery. That's alarming, that's incredibly alarming. This 384 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.079 is a study back in two thousand and nine and it was published in the 385 00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:02.839 Diabetes Research Journal. They were looking at diabetics, and so we already know 386 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:09.480 remember diabetics, if you have low dmg dimethyl glycine, that makes you prone 387 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:15.719 to worsening of diabetes. And if you are not a diabetic and you have 388 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:22.079 low dimethyl glycine levels, that makes you more likely to develop diabetes. So 389 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:27.079 now we're looking at this SOD study, so we're dealing with two naturally occurring 390 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:32.840 antioxidants in the body, and if you have low blood levels of super oxide 391 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:40.760 dismutase, there was a direct correlation between the carotid artery becoming thick. Well, 392 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:47.079 that's a big problem. If we have a thick carotid artery that means 393 00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:53.400 we're not getting proper blood flow and oxygen to our noggin. And if our 394 00:34:53.719 --> 00:35:00.400 brain is not getting proper blood flow and oxygen, we're going to feel the 395 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:07.400 effects of that. So this is why the performance multivitamin. I always categorize 396 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:14.199 this as being like the the ideal formulation for anyone with heart disease, anyone 397 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:22.360 who has diabetes, anyone who has concerns with heart health or metabolic health. 398 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.440 And it's just it's such a wonderful formula. This is I can go on 399 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.639 and on about the performance multiviamin, but I'll leave it at the X. 400 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.440 I have other things that I want to cover. So these are just areas 401 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.079 that we we have to always think about. We know that as we grow 402 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:45.000 older, certain things become less efficient. We see it with coenzyme Q ten 403 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:49.719 production just as an example. You know, as we get older, our 404 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:55.119 body makes less and less coq ten, so we need coq ten. It's 405 00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:04.800 the primary fuel for our cell energy. This is why supplementation with ubiquenol is 406 00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:09.559 so key. And I always say when you look at a basic supplementation routine, 407 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:16.079 regardless of your age, everyone should be supplementing with coenzyme q ten, 408 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.239 it's very important. So we have our ubiquenol sixty milligram is on a special 409 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.920 right now, so take advantage of that. Remember we use the Konica form. 410 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:32.039 That's the form of coenzyme q ten that is the most well regarded in 411 00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:38.360 terms of the clinical research that evidence based of how the body actually absorbs that 412 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:44.519 form of coenzyme q ten. It gets into the system, and you know, 413 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.599 if you can always go in and have your blood level tested, folks, 414 00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:52.760 you can go have a co q ten level tested and then you start 415 00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:58.039 supplementing with the invite how ubiquinol and go in even a month later, you're 416 00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:01.800 gonna see that that coenzie on q ten level is going to start to build 417 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:05.079 back up, which is a wonderful thing for you because we know co q 418 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:10.039 ten is a antioxidant for the body, but it's also key for our energy 419 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:17.280 production. And we look at the bladder HX formulation and we can start to 420 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:23.039 break down what's actually contained in this and why it's just so powerful. And 421 00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:28.320 as I mentioned, Jerry Hickey formulated this so many years ago with the thought 422 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:32.039 in mind that we have just a whole host of individuals who will pop by 423 00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:35.880 an invite stores, you know, shoot us an email, give us a 424 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:39.599 call, and they talk to us about their their bladder health issues. So 425 00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:44.519 whether that's an overactive bladder, which we know, you know, one in 426 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:50.599 six adults deal with, and we know that this problem continues to get worse 427 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:54.119 as we get older, you know, but you have increase in urinary frequency 428 00:37:54.159 --> 00:38:00.800 that can happen. Obviously there's urinary incontinence that can occur, all brought on 429 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.119 by you know, it can be stress and continence, hormonal changes. In 430 00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:12.199 any event, the combination of what's contained in bladder HX really allows the bladder 431 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:17.039 to regain much of its functionality. So you start to look at the pumpkin 432 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:23.519 seed extract, which I find fascinating because pumpkin seed water soluble pumpkin seed extract 433 00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:30.079 actually works in the body in a sense to mimic the action of testosterone. 434 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:36.079 And the reason why that's really important is because we know that the bladder itself 435 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:44.239 has a tendency to lose testosterone content, and when it loses its testosterone content, 436 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:49.199 it gets weak. And this happens in both men and women. So 437 00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:53.400 as we know women going through menopause, men going through andropause, there's going 438 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:59.920 to be a steady decline in testosterone in the system. So if we're so 439 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:06.320 supplementing with pumpkin seed extract, we are now getting this benefit of kind of 440 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:12.840 rebuilding or strengthening the bladder itself. So hence we have the pumpkin seed extract 441 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:19.599 in this along with isoflavone extract. In the isoflavone, this is a powerhouse 442 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.320 when it comes to the actual urder. So if you think about your bladder, 443 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:28.039 and let's just think about a balloon, for example, and if we 444 00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:32.440 had a straw coming out of that balloon, that would be your urder. 445 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.119 So we think about the you know, the urder coming from the kidney and 446 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:43.440 then through the traverses through the bladder and out through the urethra. Well, 447 00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:47.039 one of the things that happens in both once again men and women through the 448 00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:53.960 aging process and hormonal fluctuations is that the urethra itself can start to kind of 449 00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:59.440 shrink. And when it does that, it's like if you've ever had a 450 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.519 raw that is broken, maybe it has a hole or something in it, 451 00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.840 it makes it very difficult to drink whatever it is that you're trying to drink. 452 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.480 So we think about the urethra, and if that has a narrowing or 453 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:19.760 any type of dysfunction occurring, then it's hard for the bladder to have proper 454 00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:28.280 unfilling. So hence we look at the isoflavones and we recognize how those isoflavones 455 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:36.920 are actually working to reestablish the normal structure of the urethra. So pretty fascinating 456 00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.480 science here. So far. We've got the pumpkin seat extract that's helping to 457 00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:45.360 kind of rebuild the strength of the bladder. Then we use the isoflavone to 458 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:52.079 rebuild the actual urethra itself. And then we have the three leaf caper in 459 00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:58.719 this, so the three leaf caper, we have the the horsetail silica extract 460 00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:04.719 in this all to one's again help the rebuilding or the restructuring of the bladder 461 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:09.480 function. And when you are using Bladder HX, you were going to start 462 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:17.280 to yield these benefits of improvement when it comes to your bladder health and understanding 463 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:24.199 the science of this, looking at the different clinical research trials has led to 464 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:31.559 a significant improvement in so many individuals who use this particular formulation. Now what's 465 00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:38.000 fascinating was that many years ago there was a clinical research trial that was conducted 466 00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:45.000 utilizing the pumpkin seed extract that we use along with those isoflavones. So combining 467 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:50.920 those two, remember this is two of the key nutrients in bladder HX, 468 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:58.800 and they found that when they combined those two and they gave this to individuals 469 00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:05.559 who were experiencing problems with increased urinary frequency, having urged in continence, stress, 470 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:09.320 and continents of the bladder, that they started to supplement with this combo 471 00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:16.320 of pumpkin seat extract and isoflavones, they started to get significant improvement in a 472 00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:22.760 very short amount of time. So where they started to see the initial improvements 473 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:29.519 was at four weeks, and then by twelve weeks they had basically gone from 474 00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:31.920 let's just say you were at zero and we're trying to get to one hundred. 475 00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:37.239 So by twelve weeks these folks were already at eighty. And so for 476 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:44.199 anyone who has ever struggled with any type of bladder issue, and now you 477 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:49.920 understand that taking the prescription medication the oxybutant and for example, can lead to 478 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:54.519 problems with memory, then obviously we would want to try to avoid this at 479 00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:59.639 all costs. So if we're looking at the bladder HX, and we know 480 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:04.400 it cans that pumpkin seed extract to help to strengthen the bladder. We know 481 00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:08.000 all of the wonderful things that NAC can do. So I take NAC on 482 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:12.559 a regular basis. It's one of those nutrients where I think, even if 483 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.719 you're not taking it every single day, if you add in a capsule two 484 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:21.280 capsules a few times out of the week, you are doing so much benefit 485 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:28.519 for cellular detoxification and overall cellular protection. So definitely check out the NAC. 486 00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.480 I do need to squeeze in one more break, so stick around with me. 487 00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:36.199 You are listening to Invite Health Radio and I will be right back. 488 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:40.199 It is cold and flu season again.

I am doctor 500 00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:50.199 Amanda Williams. Just talked about the bladder HX formulation, the science behind how 501 00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:55.480 that is actually working with that pumpkin seat extract, the isoflavones having that horsetail 502 00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:02.880 silica in that formulation, and it's in incredibly impressive and we've had so much 503 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:08.159 success with that particular product. So by all means, if you are dealing 504 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:15.719 with any type of bladder health issue, check that product out. Now. 505 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:21.920 I want to move on to some other things that are in the news. 506 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:29.639 There is an awful lot to say about coenzyme Q ten and the importance of 507 00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:36.719 maintaining healthy co q ten levels as we grow older and we understand that co 508 00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:42.280 Q ten, especially in the ubiquanoul form, is one of the primary ways 509 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:46.639 for us to generate up cellular energy, which is key because we want to 510 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:52.119 make sure that our cells continue to have an energy source as we grow older. 511 00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:59.400 An interesting study came out just this past week looking at how damage to 512 00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:02.000 the cell membranes. If you just say, if you drew a circle and 513 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:07.599 that circle lost its uh, its actual structure, then that would be an 514 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:14.280 example of that cell membrane damage, which can then lead to a problem with 515 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.400 the inner core of the cell. So the inner core of the cell is 516 00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:22.960 known as your mitochondria. That's where the energy is produced. So we don't 517 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:31.000 want to ever have mitochondrial dysfunction occurring. If that happens, that's a huge 518 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:37.400 problem. So damage to the cell membrane leads to accelerated aging. So there's 519 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:45.000 a whole host of different supplements that are touted as being the go to's when 520 00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:51.599 it comes to kind of anti aging supplements. Risveratrol topping that list. So 521 00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:59.440 we have our risveratrol Max which contains the trans risveratrol extract along with OPCs or 522 00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:06.800 ollegal proanthocynodens that come from grape seed extract along with corsetin. And corsetin is 523 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.239 an excellent choice, especially, say, if you're one of those individuals where 524 00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:15.159 you're constantly turning to benadryl. No, no, no, let's not do 525 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.159 that. Let's use corstin. So we have the corsetin combined in the rizveritrol 526 00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:24.280 max, but we also have the standalone corsetin that's partnered up with some vitamin 527 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:30.480 C. The excellent choice for folks who deal with seasonal allergies. It's a 528 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:38.079 really nice alternative to using a traditional anti histamine which also have that anti colinergic 529 00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:42.960 effect. We don't want to do that, so corsetin is going to be 530 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:47.159 your go too. But in this study, we know that damage to the 531 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:52.880 cell membrane is going to lead to loss of function of the cell. And 532 00:47:53.119 --> 00:48:00.840 in understanding that, understanding that the fragility of the cell membrane, we can 533 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:07.239 take steps to protect the cell itself. So one thing that we do is 534 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.320 we change our diet and we make sure that we're getting in nutrients that are 535 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:17.480 cellular supportive, that are anti inflammatory, so hence the Mediterranean diet. And 536 00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:22.880 then of course we make sure that we're supplementing with the key nutrients that the 537 00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:28.840 body needs, that your cells need each and every single day to generate up 538 00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:36.360 energy, which includes ubiquinol. Now we have our ubiquanol with NADH. There's 539 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.679 been a lot of information out there, probably in the last couple of months 540 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:50.639 where people have this heightened interest in NADH NMN. So NMN has kind of 541 00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:53.599 taken over in the last couple of months, and so we get a lot 542 00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:58.239 of questions about this, Well, hey, do you guys have an NMN 543 00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:05.400 supplement, Well, we don't because we have NADH, and what NMN is 544 00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:13.280 is this is a precursor to making NADH. So it makes sense that if 545 00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:19.440 what we're trying to achieve is to drive up sell energy and to protect our 546 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:24.199 natural coenzyme Q ten, we would use NADH. So hence, when you 547 00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.519 look at our formulation, this is why we partner the two up. We 548 00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:36.360 have that ubiquenol, the conica ubiquenol partnered with NADH. And this is a 549 00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:44.000 interesting area of science because when you start to understand how niasin, which is 550 00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:50.639 vitamin B three, how this works in the body for cellular metabolism as well 551 00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:55.000 as for cell energy production. This is what leads us into this world of 552 00:49:55.599 --> 00:50:06.159 NMN into NAD into NADH, and it happens through these natural pathways in the 553 00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.599 body. There's two different pathways. One is called the Denovo pathway. Not 554 00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:15.320 that you necessarily need to know that, but we know that that is kind 555 00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:20.159 of off of the backbone of the amino acid trypta FAN. So if our 556 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:25.039 diet includes foods that are high in triped to FAN, like pumpkin seed extra 557 00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:30.280 for example, or pumpkin seeds themselves, this would be a great way for 558 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:36.800 us to make sure that our body can naturally make that NAD and then hence 559 00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:42.079 the NADH. But we know that dietary intake, especially in this country, 560 00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:50.000 is always going to be lacking in the nutrients that can provide adequate production of 561 00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:55.920 NAD. So not to get super technical, because these these are very complex 562 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:01.800 biochemical pathways, but basically what we want to walk away with understanding because you 563 00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:06.360 may hear your friends or coworkers say, oh, you should be supplementing with 564 00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:09.239 NMN, and just so you understand, you can say, hey, you 565 00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:14.719 know what, I don't need the NMN because I'm already taking invite health. 566 00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:20.679 You biquin all with NADH, and that NADH is the end goal of what 567 00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:24.039 we are trying to achieve, and so I don't need to take the NMN 568 00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:30.519 because I'm already taking the most powerful the NADH. So what those stand for 569 00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:34.760 is you start with vitamin B three, which is niacin, and then you 570 00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:43.039 have the different substrates, so you have the nicotinic di nucleotide, so that 571 00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:49.719 would be your NAD. And so when we are utilizing these formulations that ubiquin 572 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:54.440 all with the NADH, what we're doing is we are protecting that core of 573 00:51:54.480 --> 00:52:01.079 the cell, that mitochondria. We are giving that mitochondria a way to generate 574 00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:09.039 up cell energy so that every single day we are giving our cells the ability 575 00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:15.400 to live longer. So when you think about anti aging, oftentimes people don't 576 00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:22.960 throw ubiquinol or coenzyme q ten into that category, but we really should be, 577 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:30.559 because without adequate coenzyme q ten, without adequate NADH, the cell itself 578 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:38.920 struggles to maintain its actual viability over time. So I just wanted to mention 579 00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:44.280 that because I've had quite a few folks reach out to me in the past, 580 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:49.639 I would say, I don't know a month really inquiring about NMN, 581 00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:57.800 which is nicotinamide mononucleotide. So what we use in our formulation is nicotinamide adenine 582 00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:02.400 dinucleotide. That's the end goal. Remember there's two different pathways to which vitamin 583 00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:09.239 B three niacin is working to generate energy. We know that NADH this is 584 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:14.440 that end goal. This has been shown to be the most effective way to 585 00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:21.960 generate up additional mitochondrial energy and it helps to enhance our natural co Q ten 586 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:29.079 levels. So when you're supplementing with invite health ubiquenol with NADH, you are 587 00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:35.800 super charging every single cell in the body. You are giving that assist for 588 00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:39.440 where the body starts to struggle through the aging process. We are coming in 589 00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:44.880 and we're saying, don't worry, We've got you covered. So definitely check 590 00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:47.760 that particular product out.
