Get ready for tomorrow's Nutritional Science Today right here, right now. Hello,
and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific
director at Invite Health, and happy Saturday morning to everyone. I have a
lot of things to cover with you today. I have many different products that
I want to highlight for you, and I always try to tie things I
want. I'm planning out what I'm going to talk about, and then it's
always amazing because in different studies come out, I'm like, oh, you
know, maybe I should talk about this. But I'm going to try and
cover as much ground today as I can. And I have some great formulations
to highlight for you and bring to your attention. And speaking of attention,
I actually have the the memory multi vitamin on special today, So I'm going
to talk about that too, because it's such a great comprehensive way to kick
your day off, to not only get your vitamins and minerals on board,
but to really help your brain kind of muddle through the day with all the
different stressors that we know that we can all encounter, and maybe we want
to feel like we're a little sharper or more focused, and this multivitamin definitely
can help us achieve that. So I'm going to talk about that in just
a bit. But I do oftentimes talk about the problems when it comes to
air pollution, and I know up there in New York, you guys have
had the struggles throughout the summer when it comes to the Canadian wild fires and
all that smoke that is kind of pummelled down own onto you. Now that
that's always interesting because with and you know, everyone keep your thoughts with all
the folks in Hawaii right now. Gosh, just just absolutely just devastating what's
going on there. But with wildfire, you can see that, you can
see the smoke, you can smell that. But on every other day when
air pollution levels are not so great, oftentimes we don't recognize that level of
basically contaminants that we are breathing in, and we know that this is continuing
to get worse throughout the globe. And the American Heart Association just this week
came out and they were looking at the you know, fine particulate air pollution
and really tying this in to what we've already known. And I've discussed this
in detail, even talked about a study out of Columbia University that zeroed in
on cardiovascular risk with air pollution and looking at B vitamins and why vitamins are
so cardio protective. And so I always tell all of you New Yorkers make
sure you're taking your methyl B every day, one capsule of that too,
to make sure that we have that additional coverage when it comes to our vascular
system. But I think it's important when you see such a major institution or
major groups such as the American Heart Association coming out and saying, you know,
we've really kind of peeled back the layers here. And they looked at
the data from thirty years so from nineteen ninety two to twenty nineteen, and
they were looking at the number of premature cardiovascular deaths that they could correlate to
air pollution, and they found that in that thirty year time span that that
rate of premature deaths linked to air pollution has gone up by over thirty percent.
And the reason why I want to stress this too is not because of
the doom and gloom and the scare factor. That's not what it's about,
because I always I'm a realist. I have my master's degree in public health,
I did environmental health, so I understand that you know, we are
not going to be able to change things overnight, and whether we can change
things ever, that's questionable at best too. But the one thing that I
always like to stress to folks is that we're aware of this. We know
that this exists, and in that knowledge and knowing this, what we can
do is we can make smarter choices. We can take steps to make sure
that we are protecting our body the best that we possibly can, because if
we do nothing at all, you know, if we're eating our ultraprocessed foods,
if we're stressed out to the max, we're not sleeping right, we're
not taking our invite health supplements every day, getting those powerful antioxidants on board.
We're putting ourselves into that lane where we can fall into that greater risk
category of becoming a victim to a premature cardiovascular death that's been on because of
this chronic exposure to bad air quality. So instead of looking at this in
that light of well, I guess I can never go outside because this is
the other thing is we know that also when it comes to indoor air quality,
that's not always the best either. So we have to be realistic about
this problem. And we recognize that the level of fine particulate air pollution is
continuously going up with every year. We can look at all the different factors
as to why this is, but that's not what this show is about.
The show is about what can we do? What can we do about the
information that we do know. And this is where I look at formulations such
as the greens HX and you look at this and you say, Okay,
not only is this giving you this powerful amount of fruit and vegetable extract,
but you're getting all of these power antioxidants, these little nutrients that are going
in and helping your cells clear from all of that toxic sludge basically that we
are picking up each and every single day, and I think that this is
valid to look at it in that light, because many times when we look
at the greens HX formulation, we see it in the light of detoxication,
which makes sense. This is, you know, really what that Green's formulation
is geared towards. But it goes a step beyond that, because we can
look at it as being an immune system support supplement because it does have that
probiotic blend. Of course, we're getting the natural vitamins and minerals that are
coming from those fruit and vegetable extracts. Plus look at those powerful herbal extracts
that are in this formulation that really helped to bind on to so many of
those different fine particles that we are breathing in and taking in each and every
single day. And it's not just true for those who live, you know,
right there in the city. I've talked about different studies. They did
one in rural New York where they were looking at the level of contaminants coming
in from pesticides, for example, inside of people's homes in rural New York.
So we have to do better with the choices that we make every day.
How can we give our body kind of this upper hand, so that
you know, because we come into the world with our own natural antioxidants.
We come in you know, fighting equipped with you know, our vitamin E
and our vitamin C and co enzyme Q ten, glutathione, all these you
know, powerful antioxids alflopoeic acid for example. But as we're exposed to things
throughout our lives, we can't fool ourselves and say, oh, well,
you know, I still have the same amount of antioxidants you know, this
year as I had last year if I'm not doing anything to replenish those.
And this is where that Green's HX formulation can be really very helpful because we're
getting this high oak value. So the the way in which our body can
now better fight those free radicals and the oxidative stress that we are exposed to.
So that's you know, first and foremost, and then we look at,
okay, well you also get clarella and we're getting spile. Now we
know that those two little elgies work synergistically together, but they do a fabulous
job at going in and finding any of these particles and these toxins that we've
been exposed to. So whether it's the air that we're breathing or perhaps coming
from the foods that we're eating. We always want to make sure that we
have this kind of this continual, steady state of high antioxidants going into the
system. So if you're taking one scoop of Green's checks every day and we
get this powerful supply of fruits and vegetables and herbal extracts and all of these
power antioxidants, we are really kind of setting our body up to say,
you know what, Okay, we can't change the air pollution, but now
our selves have this layer of protection that they wouldn't have had previously. And
I think that this is what I always like to zero in on. You
know, we can look at this, you know, report that came out
of the American Heart Association and say, wow, you know that that's incredibly
alarming. You know, we understand that, you know, the exposure to
air pollution can lead to athro sclerosis and that plaque build up within the arteries.
But what can we do ourselves, Because we can't just walk out and
say, well, hey, go clean up the air, because that's not
going to happen, and we have to be realistic about that. But what
we can do is we can say, I'm going to do better with my
daily routine. I'm going to start to incorporate in nutrients that can help to
offset or counter balance all of what I am exposed to. And this is
where the greens can really be incredibly helpful. Now, what's nice about this
formulation is not only are we going to get this lovely supply of fruit and
vegetable extracts, but think about all the side benefits that go along with this.
We're helping to regulate inflammation because we get that probiotic blend. So anytime
we're taking anything that can give us those powerful, healthy little bacteria, that's
going to help to create balance within the intestines. So the more we have
intestinal microbial support, the more are inflammatory system will remain in check, so
we don't have excess inflammation that's occurring driving up systemic inflammation even in our vascular
system. So you can start to connect these dots and say, oh,
okay, well this makes a lot of sense. And then when you start
to isolate out the different nutrients that are contained in this, and you're looking
at the power of sulfare phanes coming from broccoli extract, for example, and
then you look at the role of things like spirollina and how this has been
studied even in the setting of type two diabetes. How they found that when
type two diabetics, we're taking spirolina extract and this was published in the Journal
of Medicinal Foods. But when they looked at this and they say, okay,
well, if we give a type two diabetics spirolina extract, what benefit
is this going to yield them? And they could see an improvement in their
lipid profile because what it was doing, it was helping with the clearing of
all the sludge and the liver, so we're always concerned about lib detoxification,
but it also helped with a better communication pathway between your liver and your gut.
So we oftentimes I know, I do talk about the communication pathway between
the gut and the brain. So if we have an unhealthy microbiome, this
can lead us down that path the feeling anxious or maybe problems sleeping, feeling
a little bit depressed or even severely depressed. So we know that there is
a strong correlation between the gut and the brain, but there's an incredibly strong
correlation as well with the gut and the liver. So looking at this study
and seeing the significant improvements when it came to these type two diabetics not only
their cholesterol management so they were now lowering their cardiovascular risk, but getting this
systemic benefit of inflammatory regulation. So it's very impressive. And so I am
looking at this study, I thought, you know, I'm going to mention
Green's HX today because this is such a simple way for us to incorporate in
these powerful nutrients that are you know, all packed into one simple scoop.
So it doesn't get much easier than this. Now, of course, we
don't want to you know, partner that up with our fast food for breakfast,
lunch and dinner, or you know, stop by the grocery store and
try and find everything that's boxed or you know, in the frozen food section.
And when i'm talking frozen food, I'm not talking if you're using like
a frozen organic berry, that's okay. We're talking about the process foods and
things. They have all the preservatives and the oddball chemicals that you've never heard
of before. But if you look at and read a label, you're like,
what the world is all that? So we don't want to add insult
to injury. We want to do our best when it comes to our dietary
modifications and really trying to adhere to a Mediterranean style way of eating. This
is what's going to yield us the most powerful amount of benefit. So I
always go back to Hippocrates and say, let food be thy, medicine goodness.
I wish I would have learned that in week one of medical school.
I definitely did the Hippocratic oath, and you have the donning of the white
coat, and it was such an exciting time. I look back on that,
and that's what every first year medical student looks forward to, is,
Oh, I get, say, you know, get my white coat put
on by you know, a superior doctor. And this is just it's kind
of my entrance into the world of medicine. And but we lose the fact
of what Hippocrates was really doing. And you know, yes, first thou
shall do no harm, but also let food be thy, medicine for goodness
sakes. So luckily for me, I recognize this along my journey through my
medical education, and I do recognize the importance of letting food be the driving
force for our health and then using dietary supplements, these powerful potent formulas that
we bring to you from Invite Health to help to enhance and really counteract a
lot of the negative things that our bodies encounter each and every single day.

one seventeen seventy and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda
Williams. Happy Saturday morning to everyone. Hopefully you've got fun and exciting plans
set up for your Saturday. I know what I will be doing later today.
There you have IndyCar Race, And this is always that time of year
that I start getting very excited because I know college football is right around the
corner. And for me, if you've listened to my radio shows before,
you know I am a huge college football fan. So in my Wolverines are
going in preseason. We're ranked number two in the country. So not that
I'm trying to jinx them. You know, anything can happen, but I'm
very excited about the forecast. We should be a heck of a team.
We were very good last year. Two I went to the Fiesta Bowl.
I was highly disappointed because we lost, But that's okay. I always say
there's always next year. And this is the same way I look at folks
and health. I have people who come to me who are, you know,
in their seventies or eighties, and they're like, well, I've done
everything wrong. What's the point of changing now? And I always say there
is a point because if you start to make these changes, if we can
make modifications to your diet, if we can perhaps still let's just say,
if you're very sedentary, you're more of a couch potato that and that's okay.
You don't have to beat yourself up about it. But what we can
do is we could say today is a new day, and let's make some
changes. And I always say we never give up on ourselves. This is
something that I think a lot of times we get in our own way,
and when it comes to our health, I think oftentimes we can get in
our own way. I look at being healthy as not just being free of
illness or sickness or disease, but I look at it as a comprehensive wellness,
and so I oftentimes when I'm talking on this show where others are on
my podcast, I talk about mindfulness and the power of that. You know,
the more aware we are with our body and what our body is speaking
to us, this really can lead us down the path to wellness and longevity
and feeling good and feeling energetic every day. And I use myself as an
example. I'm not going to age myself here on the show today, but
I will tell you that if I were doing the same things that I did
back when I was, you know, an undergraduate, I probably wouldn't be
able to get up and do a show at eight in the morning and have
energy to do so. But I really do find that through the changes that
I personally have made, I can see such a difference in how I feel
every day, how I manage daily stressors, because we have to be honest,
everyone has stress, and I think even maybe ten years ago, I
didn't do as well when it came to stress management. I had this wonderful
opportunity to go off and do a training program through the Center for Mind Body
Medicine, and I learned so much about myself as as far as you know,
hey, I was doing everything right in my mind. I was eating
you know, really good following a Mediterranean diet, nut I won't even say
that I was even deviating from that at all. Every day, you know,
just very good, clean, healthy foods, and I could feel that
energy coming from the foods. I've been always very good with my dietary supplementation
routine. Sometimes I changed around. You've heard Jerry Hicky talk about how he
you know, changes things around with his routine too. I like to be
creative with how I take my supplements. But I have my my core supplements
that I'm taking every single day, and that includes you know, taking the
performance multi vitamin. Some days I'll do the multi energy powder, and then
I do ubiquinal Vitamin D three, magnesium, and of course Omega three,
so fish oil, but it's what my choices. I take fish oil.
But then I get creative with all of the other new trance that I take.
So you know, on some days I'm taking my biokircum in five blocks
and other days I'll take ris veritral. So the point to this is that
while I was doing all of these things correct, I'm taking my supplements on
a regular basis, I'm eating incredibly healthy, I'm staying physically active. That
the one component that I was missing was my stress management techniques. So learning
about this it has really allowed me to I don't know, I just feel
much more, much more complete, happier, let's just say. And I
always looked at myself as being very optimistic person anyways, but this really allowing
myself to be more mindful. It has made an exponential difference in my life.
So if anyone ever wants to talk to me about that, like,
hey, you know, Amanda, I'm doing the right things. I'm eating
right, I'm taking your supplements, I'm doing all these things. But I
still just, you know, I feel like there's something missing. And maybe
it's a simple modification that we can, you know, use each day to
overcome daily stressors, because it's amazing how stress can start to compound on you,
you know, day and day out. I actually do a podcast on
the difference between chronic stress and burnout, and so it's always good that we
recognize if we have chronic stress and where we can make those changes, because
you never want to end up being burned out. Never a good idea,
and that that word gets tossed around a lot of people say I'm burned out.
But if you're already admitting that, if you're already saying I'm burned out
or I'm really stressed out. That's your indicator, that's your clue, that's
your body talking to you. And that's when you need to reach out to
myself or reach out to one of our nutritionists and say, what can I
do because I'm taking these nutrients? Is there something I should change? You
know? Do I need to change the timing of when I take these?
Do I add something into my routine that can help me with stress management?
And it's amazing when people start using the greens HX just to kind of go
back to that how much balance they can actually feel from that, because remember,
we're getting those powerful antioxidants in, so it's helping to fend off all
of those free radicals that stress can drive up. Plus we're getting the probiotic
blend, so we're getting that support for the gut brain connection. So that's
why it's such a super comprehensive formula. Green's HX. Now let's move into
the lane of joint health. And I have so many folks who will reach
out to me and say, you know, I tried you know this product
and I didn't find that it worked for me, Or I had a friend
that told me about taking you know, glucosemin and conjroiton and I tried.
It didn't work for me. This is the challenge when it comes to joint
health is that we're all unique. And if I have a problem with one
of my joints, is that going to be identical to a problem someone else
has with one of their joints. No, of course not. So we
have to recognize, you know, number one, where's the problem occurring and
what can we do that's going to give us the best results. So there's
a lot of moving parts when it comes to your joints, and we can
look at just the main structural components and understand that well, just through the
aging process, we're losing collagen year after year after year. So this is
why supplementation with a type one three collagen is very beneficial. So you can
look at our collagen HX or collagen tablets for example that has that PEP tan
B five thousand high absorption collagen peptides. So we're replenishing the collagen that's lost,
but we also know that there's another unique collagen and in the body there's
over twenty different collagens, over ninety percent of the collagen found in the human
body is of the type one variety. So hence why dietary supplementation with collagen
HX or the collagen tablets is so effective because we're really going in and we're
refilling up all of that collagen, that type one collagen that's been lost through
the years, but there's a type two collagen. And type two collagen is
really quite fascinating because what type two collagen is is it helps to make up
the cartilage. So we have a formulation called cartilage HX. And what's nice
about the cartilage HX is if we can understand how it is that this one
simple capsule per day, so we just have to take one. There's no
point in saying, well, if one is good, two or three must
be better. This isn't one of those supplements that we have to do in
that manner one per day, folks. Because this has been so well researched
by major research institutions as the setting of multiple types of arthritis, So rheumatoid
arthritis, which we know is solely autoimmune driven, and then osteoarthritis, which
is also has that autoimmune component to it. Most time we categorize as just
wear and tear. But at the end of the day, the majority of
folks you know, have of folks who have arthritis of the osteoarthritis variety.
And so if we can help to better regulate our immune system response, this
is going to help with that targeted inflammation problem that occurs, which is why
people have the joint pain. The inflammation is what's creating that pain. So
fascinating enough, and I always go back in history to talk about, you
know, the actual findings on type to collagen because it was really interesting.
It was University of Nebraska testing out the theory of chicken soup and is there
truth to this When people are sick and they take chicken soup and then they
start to feel better, What is it in the chicken soup that's actually helping
or is this some type of a placebo effect that we've all just been going
by for years. No, that's not the case. The University of Nebraska,
the researchers are like, oh, hey, you know within this,
you know, the chicken bones and the bone marrow, we get this release
of this very unique type of collagen, type two collagen, which is different
than type one, and it's that type to collagen that really seems to be
creating this signal to the immune system. So then you have researchers over at
Stanford that you know, honed in on this and said, well, we're
going to take a look at this. So they then narrowed it down and
they really just extracted out just that type to collagen and started doing the search
and then starting to see this autoregulation of the immune system that type two collagen
was giving the body, and they're like, wow, okay, so if
we take type two collagen, we're not thinking of this in the setting like
type one, where we're actually you know, putting the collagen back in for
that structural support. But what type two collagen is doing is it's actually communicating
with the immune system saying, hey, calm down, we don't need to
be on this you know, intense inflammatory process where we're just targeting that knee
or that hip and we're just unrelenting in this. We can take a break
and we can allow the immune system to just take a back seat, and
then we get less inflammation, we have less pain. So really quite fascinating
and of course very very impressive the way in which type two undernatured collagen was
kind of discovered and now we have this well researched form. It's called UC
two. It's a registered trademark form of type two collagen. That's what's in
our cartilage HX formulation and it has this fabulous ability in terms of that regulation
of the immune system, which, like I said, ost you arthritis is
autoimmune driven as well rheumatoid. Clearly on autoimmune problem, the immune system is
attacking the joint, but in osty arthritis we're getting this excessive inflammatory response.
It's also occurring. So this is why we have found such great benefit in
individuals who are dealing with joint pain when they start to take the cartilage HX
because it's working at a completely different level than say you're biokircuman five locks and
is working, or how the college and HX is working. This is working
to go in and desensitize the immune system's hot fire approach to your joints,
and it's that hot fire approach is why people have the inflammation and the pain.
So it's really a great way to kind of get an upper hand at
joint problems. And you know, you've probably heard Jerry Hicky talk about him
in his own experience of using cartilage HX, and sometimes he can feel,
you know, if he overdoes it at the gym, or if he's going
up and down a flight of stairs and he can start to feel, you
know, some pain in the knee. First thing he does is he's like,
I need to get my cartilage HX back on board and start taking this
because it helps that immune system really simmer down that inflammatory response. And the
science behind it is so profound at this point in time. The fact that
they used it in individuals who had rheumatoid arthritis and saw the benefit in such
a short amount of time, want to say short amount of time. For
some individuals, they'll notice it in the first two weeks. For others it
may take two months, it may take three months. But I would say
for the most part, if you start using cartilage HX, you're going to
see that difference within that first month. So and it's very easy to use
one capsule a day. So I want to talk a little bit more about
that, but I do need to squeeze in a quick break, So stick
around with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio. I will be

And welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams. Happy
Saturday morning to everyone. If you are just kicking off your day, I'm
talking about cartilage. Cartilage will give you that kick. It really can help
with the fluidity and the mobility within the joints. Most folks that have,
as you arth right, is the knee is the most common area. Now
you may be listening and say, hey, my knees are perfect, great,
but maybe you feel like you get up in the morning you have a
stiff hip, or maybe your lower back because you think about joints in the
back as well, maybe it's your shoulder. So we have so many different
joints and the cartilage HX is not somehow Oh I take this capsule. It's
only going to work if I have knee problems. No, this isn't the
way this works. This is Remember, it's that underenatured type to collagen that's
working to kind of desensitize the over reaction of what is going on within the
immune system that's driving up all of this inflammation. And the safety and the
efficacy of supplementation of cartilage HX has been so well studied and shown to just
be this powerhouse. There was a journal that published their findings all the way
back in two thousand and nine, and they said that type two underenatured co
religen should be actually utilized as a treatment folks, as a treatment for osteoarthritis.
And they determined this after doing this extensive clinical trial giving type two undernatured
collagen, so the cartilage HX, to individuals who have osteoarthritis and seeing that
significant improvement and the lowering of different inflammatory markers. So it wasn't just subjective
like oh, hey, we gave these people this pill and they're all like,
yeah, I feel great. They were also testing different levels, looking
at markers for inflammation and saying, wow, this is highly impressive that type
two collagen can actually lower C reactive protein mumber. C reactive protein isn't just
limited to cardiovascular health. Sometimes when you hear the words CRP C reactive protein,
we think, oh, that's just indicative of a heart condition, and
that's not the case. I've seen many folks who are you know, in
a in a pickle when it comes to arthritis, and they'll have their CRP
level tests and it comes back, you know, at fifty when it should
be you know, below one for women, in below five for men,
below point five. I should say for men and that it'll be sitting at
a fifty and they're like, oh my gosh, does this mean I'm having
a heart problem. It's like, no, you've You've got a knee problem,
is what that means. So a lot of it is you know understanding
what the test is actually looking at, and you know how to how to
fix that. And we know one of the wonderful things that we can be
doing as part of our daily supplementation Rantina's fish oil and fish oil and those
omega three fatty acids just do such a great job at creating an environment that
helps to regulate inflammation throughout the entire body. So there's a reason why omega
three fatty acids are essential. There's a reason why we are supposed to have
them in our diet, and fortunately we know that many Americans just are not
getting adequate exposure, which is why personally myself, I take fish oil because
even though i eat very healthy and I adhere to a Mediterranean diet, I'm
not going to fool myself. I know I'm not getting enough omega threes each
day. So supplementation with omega three fatty acids becomes very very essential. Now,
what's interesting about omega threes and we think about the setting of arthritis,
the more we can get a good exposure to having a good steady state of
omega three fatty acids going into the system, so that's the EPA and the
DHA. This can really help to resolve and protect our joints. And why
do I say this because we know that there are these types of pro resolving
mediators or molecules, and what we know about omega three fatty acids is that
this is what they contain, these pro resolution molecules. So think about that,
we're resolving something. So they're called lapoxins, resolvings, and protectings.
So we want to protect our joints. We want to resolve the inflammation.
So through taking fish oil every day, not only are we yielding the benefit
for brain health maintaining the brain volume because I always say, we don't want
to have little tiny brains. We want to make sure our brain is nice
and full as we age, and we want to get that cardiovascular support that
omega three fatty acids provide us. But we also want to yield that darn
benefit of knowing that they can actually lessen the inflammation that's driving up pain and
our joints. So yes, we should be supplementing with fish oil. And
if you're not using fish oil, then you can use krill oil. If
you don't want to use either one, use flax. We have a lot
of different options when it comes to Omega three's available to you. So if
you're not exactly sure as to which one you should be using, talk to
one of our nutritional experts. We've got great folks who work at Invite Health
who have been with us for so many years. We have our naturopathic doctors,
so do take advantage of that doctor Claire. She's over in the Upper
east Side location today, so you can reach out to her and say,
hey, you know which Omega three is most ideal for me, And it
may be fish oil, it may be a combination of fish oil and krill
oil. Maybe taking the inflammune formulation maybe has some respiratory concerns, So inflammune
is a wonderful option because it has the green muscle along with perilla. So
those are two powerful Omega three fatty acids that can really target the respiratory airways
in a really great job doing so. So if I have someone who has
maybe chronic bronchitis or ceo PD. Inflammina is something that I oftentimes will look
at, but I will also tell you people use inflamminia like, oh,
I don't have knee pain anymore. So it really just varies from one person
to the next. The point of all of this is that omega three fatty
acid should be part of your daily supplementation routine. Fish oil is obviously going
to be the one omega three fatty acid that gives you the highest amount of
total Omega three fatty acids. And the way in which fish oil has been
studied at this point in time in terms of cardiac regulation, for normal heart
rhythm, for regulation of blood pressure. Obviously when it comes to brain connectivity,
it's really very impressive. So all of these things that we know,
we want to be able to stave off as much things that can become problematic
as we age as possible, and this is where the omega threes can be
incredibly helpful. So I have the fish oil on special, have the cartilage
HX on special, I have the greens HX on special. Now I want
to pivot towards brain health. And when talking about brain health, we know
that there are many different nutrients. We can turn to fish oil being one.
But we have our Memory Multi Vitamin, which is a complete daily multi
vitamins, So you're getting this wonderful exposure to your activated B vitamins. I
talked about that in the beginning of today's show with the American Heart Association and
air pollution. So we always want to make sure we've got great exposure to
those powerful B vitamins. So taking the Memory Multi Vitamin is going to give
you the methyl cobolamin which is the bioactive B twelve. It's going to give
you methyl folate, which is the bioactive folic acid. So just taking a
packet of Memory Multivitamin, we're also covering another thing. We're oh, we're
covering cardiovascular health and all those darn air pollutants. So that's a good thing.
We're getting natural vitamin E and natural vitamin E is definitely something that we
know gives us a significant amount of cardiovascular protection. Does it make sure that
your cholesterol doesn't become oxidized? Oxidized cholesterol not our friend. If you want
to know if you have oxidized cholesterol, have the test done. Is your
doctor going to test it? No, they're not, but can you request
it? Yes? And what I advise that you do, of course,
So oxidized l d L that's the name of the test. Oxidized l d
L your low density lipoprotein. That's what we oftentimes consider our bad cholesterol.
The cholesterol and of itself is not bad. We have to have cholesterol in
our system. It's a key membrane. Fat helps maintain our brain volume,
definitely important for all of our hormone function in the body. So cholesterol in
and of itself not our enemy. That's why we come equipped into this world
with cholesterol. But we know that oxidized LDL very problematic, and we know
that natural vitamin E does a great job at protecting that cholesterol from that oxidative
stress and damage. So we're taking our memory multibie anymore. We're like,
okay, we're getting all of these cardio vascular benefits. Oh hey, let's
add in we're also getting those crotenoids. We're getting that wonderful exposure to luten
and zeaxanthin to help our eyeballs through the day from all of the blue light
coming from the sun, coming from your cell phone. And we know that
lutine and ziazanthon very beneficial for brain health because those two carotenoids do a great
job crossing the blood brain barrier and help to support the free radical potential damage
that can be occurring within the brain. So we're getting all this in a
daily multivitamin and then we step it up a whole notch. We say,
well, let's now add in let's add in Genko belobo. Why genko because
genko is probably the most widely studied extract out there when it comes to circulatory
support, and there's one area of circulation that we always want to make sure
that is working at its peak, and that is our cerebral circulation. So
we want to make sure that we get Genko blobo in. So it's not
only helping with all of our vessels throughout the body, but including into the
brain and it helps with proper you know, blood flow, oxygenation, and
being that we're not dealing with a synthetic agent, we're dealing with something from
nature or also gaining the power antioxidant from ginko, So it helps to fight
off oxidative stress in the brain, helps to protect those neurons from damage.
We don't want to have dinged up or dented up brain cells. That's not
really ideal. We don't want our brain to shrink. That's not ideal,
and we don't want to have dinged and dented brain cells. So we take
these appropriate steps. We say, well, how do we avoid shrinking brain?
We take our fish oil. How do we avoid dinged and dented up
brain cells. Well, we make sure we're getting some ginko beloba. We
make sure that we get some cdpak holing. That's another key fat for your
brain cells. And luckily for you, the Memory multi vitamin contains that powerful
membrane fat, that cellular membrane fat, which also helps to the body create
more acetalcoline. So acetocoline's that main neurotransmitter for memory. So taking the Memory
multi vitamin, we get this trifecta of nutrients that are added in to this
already powerful multi vitamin to help to enhance our brain cell's ability to fight off
inflammation free radicals and clear the brain of crut. And I'm gonna tell you
a little bit more about that, but I do need to squeeze in a
quick breaks a stick around with me. You are listening to invite health Radio.

one seventeen seventy. And welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor
Amanda Williams have some very special products for you. Today talked about the cartilage
ahax, the fish oil, the greens ahax. Now we're onst the memory
multiviemin so you get the power of the game Coobe loba. You're getting that
CDP colin, that very important fat that helps the body release additional aceeal colin,
which is great for our memory. And then it has low dose lithium.
And we know that the low dose lithium. Lithium is a trace mineral,
and we know that there's other trace minerals that the body relies on,
things like chromium for example, for blood sugar. But we look at lithium
and we know that lithium has this absolutely remarkable ability to target the overactivity of
a particular enzyme. And this enzyme is known as glycogen sinthase kinase three.
It's not the test on this will be next week. No, the glycogen
sinthase kinase three is important for different cellular functions. So it's not like this
is an enzyme that just pops up in the body and we're like, oh,
what the heck is this? This exists and it does serve a function.
However, with many things in the body. Sometimes if we have too
much of something not good, like if we don't have enough of something may
not be good. So in the setting of glycogen sinthase kase three, if
we have too much of this, that is a problem for us. We
know that excess glycogen kinase three is linked to a lot of different health problems,
including cardiovascular disease, including metabolic disorders such as diabetes. So we want
to always keep this enzyme in check. We need it to do its job,
but we don't need too much of it. And looking at how lithium
can actually turn that off. Say hey, you're a little hyper right now,
we need you to just cool your jets. That's what the lithium is
doing. And they could see this. They could see that when people had
this exposure, this low dose exposure to lithium on a daily basis, that
it was helping with their cardiovas, their function, it was helping with their
neurological function. These people were feeling more sharp, more attentative. And they
could test this out through looking at different markers, looking at the telomere length,
which we know if our telomeres are shrinking down, that's shortening the lifespan
of a cell not a good thing. So they could see, hey,
this low dose lithium every day is actually protecting the end caps of our chromosomes,
which is going to make this cell over here live longer. Okay,
sign me up for that, because this is I'm always about anti aging,
So anything that can extend life, I'm all about that. So we can
see how lithium is doing this. It's actually protecting the internal components of your
cell, that DNA that resides within the cell, that is responsible for that
cell's function. So if we're taking this now in a multi vitamin. We
have the memory multivitamin, that's like, hey, it's given me this key
fat for this very important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It's given me the ginko beloba,
so I get the vascular support throughout the body, and it's giving me this
lithium which is helping not only for the memory, but also for cardiovascular health.
This is a pretty comprehensive multivitamin. Maybe I should add that to my
routine. Yes, So it's a brand new multivitamin that we offer, very
easy to use. I have folks who say, well, I'm already taking
your performance. So why would I switch and I would say altra day the
days. One day, take the memory multi itemin the next day, take
the performance. That's totally fine to do it that way. So then we're
still building up a nice steady state of these nutrients. So once again you
can talk to one of our nutritionis about that. But speaking about anti aging
and telomere length, there is one thing that we know has always been the
go to in the world of dietary supplementation for anti aging, and that is
resveratrol. So we have our resveratrol AX as well as our resveratrol Max.
These are both liquid formulations. The absorption rate is significantly higher than that of
what you would get from a powdered capsule. So the fact that we manufacture
and make our resveratrol AX and the resveratrol Max in a very controlled and regulated
environment, this is done for a specific purpose. We recognize that resveratrol can
be kind of finicky and while we know it's power, it can be easily
degraded through the digestive process, but also just from the just the processing of
resveratrol, it can start to break down in oxygen. So as soon as
it's exposed to high oxygen, then we can start to lose some of that
trans resveratrol potency. We don't want that to happen, so we go to
great lengths to make sure that our riseratral hx and risveratrol max. The only
difference between the two is the strength. Reseratral max is much stronger than the
reserveratral hx. Both are for the most part their identical formulations. It's just
the milligramed is different. They both contain trans rasveratrol. They both contain grape
seed extracts that you get the OPCs, those oligue americ proanthocyanidins, and you
get the corstin. So it's their powerhouses anyway that you slice it up here.
But we know that the way that we do this and putting it into
that liquid allows you to gain all of the benefits that we know go along
with risveratrol, which at this point in time is kind of running for that
number one spot of being one of the most widely studied nutrients out there when
it comes when we think about like food based nutrition and when you start to
look at how risveratrol Initially it was like, okay, hey, this is
activating certuan. Certuan is linked with longevity, so it can activate certuan one.
It's kind of like looking at the lithium. It can downregulate glycogen synthas
kynas three, which protects the end caps of the chromosomes. So we can
see how risveratrol is actually activating something to protect those end caps. Then they
started to look and say, well, we've been doing all these studies on
risveratrol and giving these folks risveratrol, testing their telomere length, seeing that they've
been lengthened. But at the same time, now we're really analyzing their blood
and we're saying, wow, they're getting all of these cardiovascular benefits. They've
got better cholesterol profile, their HDL levels, that good cholesterol has gone up.
They're looking at markers for inflammation. See you're active protein levels coming down,
NF cappa beta levels coming down. And so we can now understand why
resveratrol is really touted as not just this nutrient that you can supplement with for
anti aging purposes. It is really a full blown systemic support nutrient, and
we look at every single system to which resveratrol has been studied now for heart,
for blood pressure, for folks who have irritable bowel. I can't tell
you how many folks have come to me that say, hey, you know
I've was diagnosed with you know, Krohn's disease or alserative colitis, and I
say, you need to be taking our resveratrol max because we know how that
resveratrol can work within the intestine to lessen that blunting inflammatory problem that's occurring.
So this is one of those products where if we're thinking about brain health,
yes, let's think rosveratrol. Let's take that reserveratral max at night. We
say it kind of goes in, cleans out the cobwebs for the day.
Maybe we're thinking about resveratrol just for cardiovasclar functions, then sure you can take
the riserveratral max or the reserveratral hx first thing in the morning to help with
blood pressure regulation throughout the day. And we know it's been studied and shown
to be effective in that setting. So we have so many different ways that
resveratrol and the grape seed polyphenols that are in this formulation and that corsitin.
Remember, corsitin does a great job. We've talked about the American Heart Association
and the air pollution. We know corsitin's one of those go to nutrients that
we can turn to that helps with cellular detoxication. So I always like people
to understand that using our riseratral h X or that resveratrol max, you're not
just getting the power of trans resveratrol in and of itself would be great,
but you're getting these other nutrients partnered up to really enhance your circulatory health,
your cognitive health, your kidney health, your liver health, your intestinal health.
So the resveratrol max and reseratral HX are both on special today. They
are partnered up on special with the greens AHX. Can't say enough about the
power of greens, the fish oil, having the memory multiviemin and that cartilage
HX. If you happen to have questions for me, as I always say,
don't be shy or bash will definitely reach out to me. A Williams
