You're about to receive responsible, life changing information on health and nutrition. 5 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.239 You'll hear from Invite professionals who are leaders and targeted and anti aging nutrition. 6 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:35.119 Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional science today right here, right now, Hello, 7 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.719 and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific 8 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:46.439 director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning to all of you early birds out 9 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.920 there who are up and ready to take on the day. And I am 10 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.119 here to help you with your wellness journey because as we know, we all 11 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.359 want to age gracefully and that's always my goal. My goal is to give 12 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.519 you some insight, some tip hips and tools to navigate day to day stressors. 13 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:10.920 And everyone has stress. I'm not really too stressed out today, but 14 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.959 I will be as the day progresses. I know this because it's the Big 15 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.760 Ten Championship game. And with the Big Ten Championship Game comes my fear that 16 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.040 maybe Michigan loses to Iowa tonight. I don't think they will, but you 17 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.159 know, I always am a little bit nervous. I was a kind of 18 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.319 a train wreck last weekend for the Michigan Ohio state game. So for all 19 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.959 of you who have listened to me, you know I'm a huge Michigan fan. 20 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:42.560 I know that we're dealing with some chaos in the background, background noise, 21 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.640 but you know, I am in it for the players, and I 22 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.040 really want them to be able to pull off a victory tonight. I stayed 23 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:57.120 up late last night to watch the Pac twelve Championship, so watched the Washington 24 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.480 Huskies pull out a victory over Oregon. So it'll be interesting to see how 25 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.120 everything plays out at the tail end of this weekend with all of the big 26 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.280 games. Got Georgia and Alabama today. So for those of you who are 27 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.360 not college football fans, you're probably like, Okay, carry on, let's 28 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.520 talk about nutrition, and that's what we're gonna do. But for those who 29 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.879 who know me, you know that this is a big day for me as 30 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.560 far as football goes. And but then I'm also kind of sad too because 31 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.159 then football's wrapping up. But we have all of the the big bowl games 32 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.840 coming up, and it's always exciting. They don't have to turn my focus 33 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.719 to college basketball, so and of course there's still NFL and all of that 34 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.960 and the Lions, so I following my my Detroit Lions. But I try 35 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.439 and stay on top of not only the sports that's happening in the world, 36 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:58.240 but also science and nutrition, and every day I'm always checking out new studies 37 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.960 and things that I think are interesting that I want to share with you. 38 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.719 But there was a really interesting bit of information that came out and it was 39 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:15.719 published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. But for those who have tuned into 40 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:22.439 this show for so many years, you have heard Jerry Hickey for years and 41 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.680 myself talk about the importance of vitamin D and how vitamin D needs to be 42 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.360 looked at outside of that of just bone health. Unfortunately, in like the 43 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.599 traditional medical community, that's what the primary focus. And I can attest to 44 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:45.240 that because going through medical school myself, you learn that vitamin D is your 45 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.080 bone vitamin, and you don't really recognize that vitamin D is technically a hormone 46 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.960 and there are these receptor sites found throughout the body and with those receptor sites 47 00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:01.360 come the chemical messager system. And this is why vitamin D is so essential 48 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:10.080 in the body because it is regulating so many daily functions. So from cardiovascular 49 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.240 health, we think about the rhythm of the heart, regulating inflammation. Of 50 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:18.519 course, our immune system, and we are into cold and flu season, 51 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.600 so we always want to stay on top of that having your serum vitamin D 52 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:29.560 level tested. I cannot impress upon you the importance of having that done, 53 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:35.279 because if you don't know where your level is, that's a problem. And 54 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.399 the reason why it's the problem is because we know that ninety percent of Americans 55 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:45.560 do not get adequate vitamin D just from their diet alone. So with that 56 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:46.959 being said, I mean you can kind of say, okay, well, 57 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.639 ninety percent of Americans don't get enough vitamin D, So am I one of 58 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:58.120 the ten percent who actually has good vitamin D levels? Likely not so and 59 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.519 vitamin D there's so many complex reasons as to why your vitamin D levels could 60 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.199 be at the low end. And I always describe it as like having a 61 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.439 dollar in your bank account or having one hundred dollars. Most people would rather 62 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.800 have one hundred dollars, and we want to look at vitamin D in that 63 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:23.480 same light. If we have insufficient levels, that can be incredibly problematic. 64 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:29.079 So this is why testing your serum blood level, having your twenty five hydroxy 65 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.279 vitamin D level tested is key because if you can see your levels at let's 66 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:38.519 just say twenty seven nanograms per mil liter, then you know, Okay, 67 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.920 I need to be supplementing with vitamin D each day. Now how much should 68 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.199 you supplement what? That's always the big question. People ask me this, 69 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.759 and have asked me this for years. Hey, Amanda, how much do 70 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.439 I need to take every day? Well, here's the thing. It's difficult 71 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.759 to put a number on that because you don't know what flors are going to 72 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.759 influence the way vitamin D is absorbing. Do you also have kind of a 73 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:12.199 comorbid situation going on where your magnesium levels are low which can impact the way 74 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.759 vitamin D is being absorbed? And I actually just did a podcast, by 75 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:21.759 the way, on why magnesium needs vitamin D and vice versa, because there 76 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.360 is a very strong correlation between those two. So wherever you listen to podcasts, 77 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.920 go and check that out. It's very short, it's like ten minutes, 78 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:36.399 but I talk about why the two are so synergistic to each other and 79 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.800 they really rely on each other for their you know, functionality in the body. 80 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.639 So this is one reason why sometimes folks will struggle with having adequate vitamin 81 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.920 D is because they also have low magnesium. So at the end of the 82 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:57.720 day, we know that taking vitamin D three supplementation, that's the active form 83 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.759 of vitamin D colely calci for all as it is known. And we know 84 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:08.480 that that vitamin D is really important for so many functions, and we want 85 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.959 to make sure that we're supplementing with an adequate amount. So I'll use myself 86 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.240 as an example. I use five thousand I use every single day to maintain 87 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:23.160 healthy blood levels. Now that's me. And it doesn't matter based off of 88 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.279 your age, based off of your height, your weight, Because I get 89 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.759 this question oftentimes too is well, you know, I'm a mail and I'm 90 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.040 sixty years old, and this is how much I weigh. How much vitamin 91 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.759 D do I need? That doesn't have any influence on that. What we 92 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.879 do know is that some folks may need a thousand I use per day, 93 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.519 someone else may need ten thousand I use per day. So if you get 94 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.759 your blood level tested and then you start to supplement. Let's just say you 95 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.759 go to Invite Health and you get our vitamin D three three thousand I use 96 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.639 and you start supplementing with one capsule per day. And let's just say six 97 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.279 months later, you go back in. Your starting point was twenty seven and 98 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.639 you go in and now your levels at forty five. Okay, so we 99 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.759 know that the three thousand I use is a pretty good amount for you to 100 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.480 be supplementing with. So that's really the best indication. But back to the 101 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.920 study Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, and this is that's why I love just going 102 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.040 through and reading all the research because it, once again it drives home the 103 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.120 point of yes, vitamin D you are so darn important. So they are 104 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:39.759 looking at an association between hair loss folks and low serum vitamin D levels. 105 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.120 So I think that this is one of those areas, especially for folks who 106 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.279 are experiencing problems with thinning hair, you know, to a certain degree, 107 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.519 alopecia, balding, male pattern balding. We know that there's hormonal you know, 108 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.919 underpinnings to that, but many folks deal with this and it can be 109 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:09.000 a frustrating thing because for a lot of individuals their hair is pretty important to 110 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:16.360 them. And looking at male hormone induced you know, balding, looking at 111 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:24.200 female pattern hair loss, we can see this correlation between low serum vitamin D 112 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.720 levels, and it was really quite fascinating in this study the way that they 113 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:37.279 were assessing this and to see that direct causal to having low vitamin D and 114 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.840 having more extensive hair loss. So once again, if you're concerned about your 115 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.559 hair, you're concerned about your bones, you're concerned about your immune system, 116 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.360 you should be concerned about knowing where your vitamin D serum level is. So 117 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.200 enough on that topic, make sure you're taking your vitamin D. That's my 118 00:09:54.279 --> 00:10:01.519 point. But we have to to always be able to d the obvious. 119 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:07.519 And there are so many things that we just clearly know at this point in 120 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.639 time through all of the decade's worth of research that we just foundationally understand. 121 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:22.000 Now we understand why the body comes equipped with natural antioxidants, we understand why 122 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:28.559 our body comes equipped with collagen for example, with digestive enzymes. All of 123 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:37.639 these things are critical to daily function. And the things that we know is 124 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.879 that as we get older, some of these levels can start to plummet off, 125 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.240 and so the response that we should have to that would be supplementation. 126 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.519 So hence, this is why you tune into this show and you hear me 127 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:58.840 talking about certain supplements. You hear Jerry Hickey talking about certain supplements and why 128 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.600 they're so beneficial. And we can take collagen for example. We know that 129 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:09.519 once we hit twenty five years old, the body's natural retainment and production of 130 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:16.279 collagen begins to go down, and with every decade it continues to steadily go 131 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.559 down. So this is the known fact. We know this, so it 132 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:26.080 only makes sense that we would want to replenish that of what is lost. 133 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.639 It's kind of like going to the bank. If you take out all of 134 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.240 the money, you don't have any more money in the bank. So that's 135 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.240 why people keep going back and depositing money. So this is what we want 136 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.240 to do when we think about supplementation. We want to be able to deposit 137 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.759 these nutrients back into our system. So collagen is a perfect example of that. 138 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.840 Digestive enzymes. This is a big one, especially right now with you 139 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.679 know, the holiday season upon us, and you know folks are eating different 140 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.240 foods and maybe you're snacking on things that you really shouldn't be eating. But 141 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:11.519 in any case, we know that digestive enzymatic release once again starts to go 142 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:18.200 down as we grow older. So this is why many times people will find 143 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.360 that once they hit you know, maybe fifty or sixty years old, they 144 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.440 start to have more struggles with eating certain foods, and so they do one 145 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.200 of two things. They either struggle through that or they just avoid that. 146 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.759 And we don't want to avoid like vegetables, for example, and that's usually 147 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:43.279 a common area where people will struggle with healthy digestion because the body itself doesn't 148 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:50.679 necessarily make an enzyme that breaks down vegetables. We mechanically break that down. 149 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:56.879 But we can recognize that if we take a formulation like digestive HX, which 150 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:05.840 includes alpha glactosi in that, and that's a very powerful digestive enzyme that helps 151 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.919 to break down those plant fibers. So as you're eating broccoli, for example, 152 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:18.360 the alpha glactosidase will mix with the broccoli to help with the enzymatic breakdown. 153 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.759 So then we're actually obtaining the vitamins and the minerals and the antioxidants. 154 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:33.039 The sulferophane that broccoli yields us and remember those cruciferous vegetables. They're pretty important 155 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:39.120 for hormonal balance for both men and women. So we want to be eating 156 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.799 our broccoli. And if you're not a fan of broccoli, I'm sure there's 157 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.000 another type of cruciferous vegetable out there that you like, maybe Brussels sprouts, 158 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.480 maybe it's kale. But there's a whole variety of vegetables that you can choose 159 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.639 from. But we want to help our body with the breakdown of those different 160 00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:01.000 nutrients. Hence, this is why the digestive HX can be incredibly supportive, 161 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.279 and the best way to use that product is to take one capsule roughly about 162 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.039 fifteen minutes prior to eating. Now there's a caveat to this if, for 163 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.240 example, you are halfway through your meal and you say, oh, I 164 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.360 forgot to take my digestive HX. I guess I won't take it. No, 165 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.320 still take it. That's fine. Still take that digestive HX capsule even 166 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.519 if you're at the end of your meal. Because we know that those enzymes 167 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:37.320 are going to aid in proper digestion and hence proper absorption of our nutrients and 168 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.000 your foods matter. You know, let food be thy medicine. I was 169 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.080 just reading a study this week where they were talking about this, like, 170 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.600 there seems to be a lot of influence of folks out there talking about eating 171 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.679 healthy. Well, yeah, we can go back in time and let food 172 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.440 be thy medicine. There's something with that.

You 192 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.960 can have a chat with one of our nutritional experts. That is a free 193 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.120 service, by the way, and that's I think what makes us incredibly unique. 194 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:47.080 As you were just hearing on our little break there, We've been doing 195 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:53.320 this for twenty five years and this is part of the wonderful design that Jerry 196 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:59.519 Hickey came up with twenty five years ago. Obviously, he you know, 197 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:04.720 with his background being a pharmacist master product formulator, that was kind of a 198 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.880 given. That was the you know, he is going to be great at 199 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.720 doing what he does with putting these products together and following the science and the 200 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:18.359 research behind those, but he wanted to set Invite Health apart from any other 201 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:25.960 company that was out there. And what we recognize and what Jerry recognized many 202 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.599 years ago and what I recognize today is that wellness is a journey, and 203 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:38.960 it is a journey that oftentimes is achieved when we have that additional support. 204 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.799 So having our nutritional experts who have been with us for so many years and 205 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:52.400 are just so passionate about not only our entire product line and talking about the 206 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.359 products, but really helping you identify where you can make the biggest positive gains 207 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:06.480 wellness journey. And so we recognize that it's not just about our wonderful formulations. 208 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.160 It might be that someone comes in and they're like, oh my goodness, 209 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.519 it's the holiday season and I'm always you know, stressed out to the 210 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.720 max and I can't focus and what can I be doing? Because remember stress 211 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:23.319 can lower our immune defenses. We definitely don't want to be, you know, 212 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:29.720 navigating through the holiday season with having lowered immunity, especially with all the 213 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.160 different bugs that are out there right now. So we want to regulate stress. 214 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.400 And there is, you know, clearly a defined difference between you stress, 215 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.839 which is good stress and you stress. Maybe you're going on vacation. 216 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.519 You're like, yay, I'm going away, I'm going on a cruise. 217 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:52.839 But with that still comes some negative stress components and we don't want to leave 218 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.680 an opportunity for our body to take a hit. So this is where our 219 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.880 nutritional experts can be very helpful. Maybe they're giving you some insider tips for 220 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:08.799 some stress management techniques and of course guiding you to the right products. During 221 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:14.000 the holiday season, you want to focus on two primary areas. That's going 222 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.920 to be your immune system and also your energy. So through taking formulations such 223 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:25.480 as Rodeola extract for example, this is a really good way for us to 224 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:33.160 allow the adrenal glands to have a better response to those moments of stress that 225 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.480 we can all face throughout the day. But it's also helping to create and 226 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.640 generate energy. And of course we want to take our ubiquinal each day, 227 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.559 so taking your coenzyme Q ten from Invite Health. Remember we use kanica. 228 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:52.000 That is the form that is the most widely studied of any coenzyme Q ten 229 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.799 out there, and COQ ten comes in two forms. You have ubiquinone and 230 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.559 then you have ubiquinol we want to supplement with ubique all ending in ol. 231 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.519 That's what we offer are ubiquinol sixty milligram and then are ubiquinol one hundred and 232 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:12.440 twenty milligram, which also has the nadh in that so really good way to 233 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:18.759 allow for circulatory support, brain health support, immune systems support, and energy 234 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.960 all at the same time. So that's why your COQ ten so key. 235 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:30.640 But let's talk a little bit about carnosine and why carnosine is so interesting. 236 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.039 It is, first and foremost, it's a it's a dipeptide, so it 237 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:38.680 has beta alanine and histadine in it. So it's these two amino acids that 238 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:45.720 are combined together that form carnosine. Now we know beta alanine is excellent for 239 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.559 muscle recovery, So say, for example, you start using the invite health 240 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:56.680 L carnosine plus formulation, you're going to be getting the power of beta alanine. 241 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.920 So even if we're thinking about muscle health, this is a great thing. 242 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.359 But we know many ways to which carnosine is helping to promote longevity. 243 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.880 It's protecting the end caps of your chromosomes. Those are known as your telomeres. 244 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:19.079 And this is why we look at carnosine as being an anti aging amino 245 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:26.880 acid, and rightfully so. And we also recognize that carnosine obtainment from the 246 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:34.559 diet is not very easy to achieve, and so for many of us, 247 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:44.839 supplementation of carnosine is really very beneficial. Now, what's fascinating is that they 248 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:52.160 used to always look at carnosine for its protective mechanisms as far as targeting advanced 249 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.759 collocation end products. So if you have high glucose, if you're pre diabetic 250 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.000 or diabetic, it helps to protect your cardiovascular system, the blood vessels from 251 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.920 damage. It protects your kidneys. Of course, it's going to protect your 252 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:11.400 brain. An extensive amount of research on carnosine as far as it being a 253 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:18.039 neuroprotective I'll talk about that in a moment. But what is also really fascinating 254 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:25.160 is that they started to look at it as being a powerhouse to actually protect 255 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:33.480 against athrosclerosis, so for plaque build up within the vessels. So heck, 256 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.519 if we know that carnosine's doing all of these things, it's a neuroprotective, 257 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:42.839 it's helping to support kidney function, it's regulating excess glucose in the body, 258 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.759 and it's really good for making sure we don't have plaque building up in our 259 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.880 system. Well, that might be a really good supplement to add in. 260 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.079 And it also is partnered up with routin and corstin, so you have these 261 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:06.599 powerful antioxide that are added along with that al carnissine. So those citrus bioflavonoides 262 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.880 really pack a powerful pot. We know so much about corsotin as far as 263 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.960 its regulation of histamine build up in the body. If you have excess histamine, 264 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.759 this is what creates you know, sneezing and all the you know, 265 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:23.039 running nose things like that. But we also can see how corsotin is very 266 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:30.200 effective at binding on to things like heavy metals and different pollutants that we come 267 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:36.960 across each day. So carnosine is found everywhere in the body where there's these 268 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:42.680 very high energy demands. So hence this is why it's been studied so extensively 269 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:48.799 as far as its neuroprotective properties, because we find an awful lot of carnosine 270 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.680 in our brain as well as in our heart, so hence the protective measure 271 00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:57.640 against plaque build up. It all starts to make a lot of sense, 272 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.960 and at the same time time, maybe we are using carnisine just because we 273 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.319 know it's a powerful anti aging nutrient. That's one of the reasons why I 274 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.119 started using carnisine many years ago. Looking at the science of things like rizveritrol, 275 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:19.279 clearly we know what risveratrol is doing with the activation of sirtuin for promoting 276 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:26.160 so longevity, but we also can see that this natural amino acid is packing 277 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:32.920 this very powerful punch as well. So for me, I'm always looking for 278 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.440 nutrients to add in alongside with my healthy diet that I eat. I adhere 279 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:44.000 very strongly to a Mediterranean diet, and I encourage all of you to do 280 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.559 so. The Mediterranean diet. I always I always say that I don't like 281 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:56.680 using the word diet because I think in our society we correlate diet with just 282 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:03.759 calorie restriction or removed moving things. We shouldn't look at diet in that light. 283 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.880 We shouldn't look at diet as trying to lose weight. We should look 284 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:15.319 at diet as being what we're eating every day, and we can either choose 285 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:21.400 to eat unhealthy. Hence, the ultra processed foods that make up the majority 286 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:27.079 of the calories of which most Americans are consuming each day, or we can 287 00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:33.640 choose to eat, you know, fruits and vegetables and have foods that have 288 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.440 good amounts of healthy fats to keep our brain volume nice and full as we 289 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.079 get older. So I don't really like using the word diet, but in 290 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:49.039 any event, I have a very strong adherence to a Mediterranean diet, and 291 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:55.519 I didn't always. Clearly that was not the case many years ago, and 292 00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:02.640 I think I paid the price for that. Now I feel so much better. 293 00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.079 I mean, my energy levels are really good, I sleep really good. 294 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:11.359 I don't have aches and pains. And you can recognize how food does 295 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.839 that. That really interesting study they took a group of college students and they 296 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:21.920 had them just eat like burger fries and shakes, and then about an hour 297 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.519 after they consume that meal, they tested their blood levels for markers for inflammation, 298 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.720 and you could see how the white blood cells, the immune system itself 299 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:37.599 was becoming hyper reactive to those foods. So it's not a food allergy, 300 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.559 so I don't want to implicate that, but what we do recognize is that 301 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.319 the immune systems like, oh goodness, what in the world is happening here? 302 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.240 And it tries to protect the body. Well, do that day after 303 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:51.720 day after day, year after year, you're gonna end up having some problems, 304 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.759 whether that's non alcoholic fatty liver disease, whether that's you know, metabolic 305 00:26:55.799 --> 00:27:00.000 syndrome and diabetes. So we can make better choices and let food be thy 306 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.119 medicine, and then we can add in nutrients such as the el carnosine plus. 307 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:11.599 And what's fascinating about the el carnosine plus is they started to recognize that 308 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:19.079 one of its roles was to actually make your white fat cells mimic the action 309 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.160 of brown fat cells. So brown fat cells are what generate up thermogenesis or 310 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.200 that natural fat burning. And this is why when you look at you know, 311 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.480 little babies and they have the little fat roles and you think, oh, 312 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.319 that's so cute, but then that burns off and then as we become 313 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.240 adults, we you know, transition from that brown fat into white fat. 314 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.119 Well, the white fat is what stores and this is you know, the 315 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:52.759 major problem. So to see that carnosine actually helped to promote that conversion of 316 00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.400 white fat into brown fat is incredibly impressive, which is why they started to 317 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.559 recognize in all these studies like, oh, we're testing carnosine for folks who 318 00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:11.240 add myocognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease, and we're recognizing that they're actually losing weight 319 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.279 in these studies. So of course you take that data and then you set 320 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:22.400 up another study and you say, okay, let's test carnisine just for its 321 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:29.119 weight loss benefits. And what's fascinating is that carnosine similar to carnatine. Remember 322 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:34.559 those are two different amino acids. They both have this action to promote healthy 323 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.240 weight. So it's just it's one of those side benefits. I talk about 324 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:45.759 that often when I'm describing different products that many products you may be using for 325 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.240 a particular reason, and unbeknownst to you, you're getting all of these wonderful 326 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:55.519 side benefits that go along with that. And carnosine is that perfect example of 327 00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:03.559 an anti aging supplement that has all of the powerful mechanisms to support our brain 328 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:08.559 health, for memory, for healthy weight, and of course for making sure 329 00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.039 we're not building up plaque in our vessels, which I think is pretty darn 330 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.799 important. So I'm gonna talk a little bit more about this, but I 331 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.519 do need to squeeze in a quick break, so stick around with me. 332 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:25.480 You are listening to Invite Health Radio.

I am doctor Amanda Williams here 345 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.119 with you on a Saturday morning. It's December, folks. Goodness, you 346 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.200 know It's always hard for me to determine times of the year when you live 347 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.759 in South Florida because yeah, it's still gonna be I think eighty five degrees 348 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.559 today, So I'm not rubbing that in. If you guys are you know, 349 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.240 struggling with colder temperatures up there, That's not what I'm trying to do. 350 00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.960 But it does throw me off. Sometimes I'll turn on like the Weather 351 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.319 channel, I'm like, why is this snowing? And you know different, 352 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.559 Oh, because it's December, so that makes sense. But nonetheless, I 353 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.920 am here with you today talking about all of our wonderful formulations. Remember, 354 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.640 you can stop by any of our stores or open seven days a week. 355 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:19.960 We have our nutritional experts who are there to help guide you in your process 356 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.759 of wellness. If you can't stop by a store, that's okay, you 357 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.319 can give us a call. We're happy to patch you through to one of 358 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:32.640 our available Nutritionness and you can also go to our website, invitehealth dot com 359 00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:37.480 and you can sign up to have a free nutritional consultation with one of our 360 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.920 Nutritionness So you just pick the day in time that works well for you and 361 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.079 one of them will give you a call. And you can talk about whatever. 362 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.000 You can talk about carnoissine. You say, hey, I hear this 363 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.759 el carnoissine plus it's very important. Amino acid does all these wonderful things, 364 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:59.680 and yes it does. We know that carnisine has been studied for years and 365 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:05.519 years as far as it's a natural antioxidant. It's an amino acid, and 366 00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:12.279 it has these very powerful mechanisms by which it helps to promote longevity. And 367 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.680 in the Journal of Rejuvenation Research, that's a fun one, huh, Rejuvenation 368 00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:22.160 research. Back in twenty ten, they looked at carnosine as having all of 369 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:28.920 these different properties to it. This neuroprotective dipeptide is as they described it member 370 00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:34.720 has beta alanine plus histadine in it, and how it has these really powerful 371 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:42.400 features to it to allow the brain as well as our skeletal muscles to have 372 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:52.160 a enhanced circulatory flow as well as providing the antioxidant benefit to fight off free 373 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.440 radicals, because we know that in the brain, well anywhere in the body, 374 00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:00.200 your free radicals are going to create an extensive amount of oxidative stress and 375 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:08.000 when that occurs, it damages those cells. And once we get cellular damage. 376 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.480 It can be hard to bounce back from that if we're not doing the 377 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.759 right things. So if we're adding insult to injury with the foods that we're 378 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:22.240 eating, if we're eating the burger frying shakes, that's not helping to you 379 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:30.519 know, allow those cells to repair themselves. So supplementation with carnosine can really 380 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:36.680 provide a significant amount of support. Now remember that is partnered up with the 381 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.079 routin and that coarsetin, so it's not like you're just getting carnisine. You're 382 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:49.240 also getting these very powerful citrus bioflavonoids that have been studied extensively once again for 383 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:54.839 their ability to protect the brain and protect the cardiovascular system. Anytime we can 384 00:33:54.880 --> 00:34:01.319 take a dietary supplement that is doing cross functional action for us, that's a 385 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.720 great thing. Like I said myself, I started using carnissine many years ago 386 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.440 for the anti aging properties to it, and then along the way you start 387 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:15.119 to say, oh, well, hey, it has this nice finite ability 388 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:22.280 for natural fat burning. It does a wonderful job for circulatory health and making 389 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.559 sure that the vessels are not building up plaques. So you can look at 390 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.960 why taking the el carnissine formulation is so beneficial. We have a lot of 391 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:40.559 folks who deal with diabetic neuropathies turning to the el carnissine. To me, 392 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:47.000 is one of those products that I often will look at because of its power 393 00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:52.599 to regulate those advanced glycation end products. And not that we need to get 394 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.199 super technical, but at the end of the day, if we have too 395 00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.800 much glucose, too much sugar just spinning around the it's going to find a 396 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:05.800 home somewhere. So where does it find a home? While it can hook 397 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:10.440 to the nerves and create damage, can hook to your kidneys and create problems. 398 00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:15.920 It can hook to your eyeballs and create issues such as cataracts. So 399 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:23.000 we know that if we can take a amino acid such as al carnosine that 400 00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:32.480 is a very powerful anti glycation amino acid with its beneficial effect of being a 401 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.960 powerful antioxidant on top of that, well heck yeah, it makes a lot 402 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.599 of sense that the L carnosine would be something that we would want to include 403 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:47.519 in to a daily routine. So just think about that particular product understanding that 404 00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.599 we're also getting the corsetin so it even helps with the histamine regulation. Maybe 405 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.320 you're still dealing with some lingering seasonal allergies. Adding in that al carnosine quite 406 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:02.079 beneficial. But let's talk holidays stress folks. I've had a lot of folks 407 00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:07.119 reach out to me recently and this is that time of year where you do 408 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:14.639 start feeling like your energy levels are starting to dwindle down and what can you 409 00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.480 do? So I already mentioned rodeola extract. That's just a quick go to 410 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:24.679 the reason why I talk about rodeola so frequently is because it works so quickly 411 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:31.000 and for many individuals who want something, like most Americans, they want that 412 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:37.280 quick fix. Rodiola is just a go to because you are going to see 413 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:45.440 the benefits of rodeola supplementation pretty much the first time you start taking rodeola. 414 00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:50.719 So this is why it's always an excellent choice. But we know that there's 415 00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:58.519 detrimental effects to stress. Obviously, it can accelerate our aging process. We 416 00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.960 know that can dis up your digestive health. This is why usually when people 417 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:07.000 say that they feel a lot of stress, they describe it in their belly, 418 00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:12.960 and you know they have the they feel off. We also know it 419 00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:17.199 can create brain fog. Well, why is it creating brain fog. When 420 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.320 people are stressed out, they oftentimes have a hard time with focus and attention. 421 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:28.440 Maybe you're trying to do all your holiday shopping and you show up at 422 00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:31.079 the department store and you're standing there and going, what did I come in 423 00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:37.239 here for? Because you're so stressed. So we know that the influence the 424 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:43.920 multiple pathways to which stress is affecting us, and so it's beyond that of 425 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.719 just cortisol. You know, most time we think stress, we think cortisol. 426 00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:52.039 Hence, this is where that rodeola is very helpful because it addresses that 427 00:37:52.280 --> 00:38:00.800 adrenal gland over expression of cortisol. But we also know that stress can really 428 00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:07.079 play a negative effect on our neurotransmitters. And so when we start thinking about 429 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:12.159 the brain fog, you now, how is it that stress is having an 430 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:19.440 influence on limiting the amount of say acetylcholine that's being released from our brains. 431 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:25.599 Number acetylcholine is key for memory. We also know that gabba is our calming 432 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:34.440 neurotransmitter. We have serotonin, so stress can affect all of these. We 433 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:38.480 know it can definitely affect our blood pressure and our blood sugar levels. So 434 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:45.880 if we don't address the stress. You can now start to see how different 435 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:51.159 systems in the body can kind of go haywire. And while they're going haywire, 436 00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:57.000 now your immune system is kind of opened up for any type of pathogen. 437 00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.639 So you're out there doing your holiday shopping, you're heading over to invite 438 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.360 health, making sure that you're getting stocked up on your immunity multi vitamin, 439 00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:08.880 your immunity HX, the green TTX for example. You know your immune system 440 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:14.719 routine that you do each year, but we don't want to have the stress 441 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:19.920 build up to the point where the immune system is in a sense struggling. 442 00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:24.199 So this is why we always want to zero in on managing stress and having 443 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:31.639 good techniques to achieve this. So whether that's utilizing different nutrients such as rodeola 444 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:37.199 extracts such as elthianine, that powerful amino acid that we offer that comes from 445 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.360 green tea, by the way, So it's always fun to talk about where 446 00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:46.800 these nutrients are sourced from because we know green tea and the power of EGCG, 447 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:52.320 how it helps to regulate inflammation, helps to enhance our immune defenses that 448 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:59.400 can target different viruses, which is why people use our green TTX especially during 449 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.760 this time year that liquid tincture that we offer, but we can also use 450 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:08.920 this tiny little amino acid that is derived from the green tea. The elthienine 451 00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:15.039 and elthenine is a natural promoter of GABBA, so it helps keep us calm. 452 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:22.079 So the calmer we are, the better we regulate our stress. The 453 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:24.559 better we're regulating our stress, the better we support our immune system. You 454 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:30.920 can see how it's kind of this this balancing effect in our system. So 455 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:37.119 we want to utilize these different formulations so that we're getting the most out of 456 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.880 them. And this is why it is always so important to have that conversation 457 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.920 with one of our nutritionness that you know, how should I be taking this 458 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:50.159 product, what's the best time of day for me to use this? How 459 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.920 many capsules should I take? Because maybe on the bottle it says take one 460 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:59.400 capsule twice a day, but maybe for your specific needs, you're taking two 461 00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:04.199 capsules twice a day. So you want to talk to one of our nutritional 462 00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:09.679 experts so that they can personalize your supplementation routine. Like I said, being 463 00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:15.719 that this is cold and flu season, if you are not already taking additional 464 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:22.039 nutrients to support your immune defenses. I encourage you to head over to Invite 465 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.199 Health this weekend, or go to our website invite health dot com and check 466 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:31.880 out all of our many immune health formulations. You can clearly use our new 467 00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:39.559 Immunity multi vitamin that's going to give you that comprehensive blend of those key vitamins 468 00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:45.679 and minerals. Remember, the immune system isn't running solely on vitamin C, 469 00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:52.960 zinc and vitamin D. The immune system is heavily reliant on natural vitamin E 470 00:41:53.639 --> 00:42:01.679 and magnesium and of course B vitamins. Taking the Immunity multivitamin is a really 471 00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:06.960 good way to get yourself into a regular rhythm throughout cold and flu season, 472 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:12.440 to give your body the exposure to those key vitamins and minerals. Remember we 473 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:17.119 use the bioactive B vitamins and our formulations. You're getting methyica bolomin which also 474 00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:23.920 helps with energy production. You get methyl folate which helps with detoxification and with 475 00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:30.639 your neurotransmitter production. And then of course you get the full spectrum natural vitamin 476 00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:36.480 E in that formulation. And then Jerry Hickey added in to enhance this product 477 00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:42.719 beyond what it was already great. He added in elderberry extract along with the 478 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:49.719 nucleic acids. So you've heard us talk for years about our nucleotide complex and 479 00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:54.039 the many benefits that go along with those nucleic acids. They are helping to 480 00:42:54.360 --> 00:43:00.719 allow your GI system. Remember the intestines, we're seventy percent of your immune 481 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:09.320 system is located. The nucleic acids work to facilitate a healthy immune response within 482 00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:15.519 the intestines. So we're taking this as part of a daily multivitamin. We 483 00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.400 go over to Invite Health and we're taking our immunity multivitamin every day, taking 484 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:24.880 one packet. We're getting this wonderful exposure to all of these nutrients that both 485 00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:30.639 the innate which is your immediate and your adaptive, which is your delayed immune 486 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:36.119 response require. So each day you're getting this lovely steady state of these nutrients 487 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:40.840 in on top of getting the elderberry extract, which has been studied extensively shown 488 00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.239 to shorten the duration of the common cold and influenza. But heck, we 489 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.800 don't even want to get the common cold or influenza. So if we're taking 490 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:54.199 the elderberry proactively, then this is going to give us this layer of protection 491 00:43:54.840 --> 00:44:00.800 partnered up with those nucleic acids, so it's a fabulous multi vitamin.

I am doctor Amanda Williams. We are into 516 00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:15.159 December already. Goodness, it's like it's going to be twenty twenty four before 517 00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.440 we know it. And we want to get to twenty twenty four without getting 518 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.679 the common cold, not getting you know, covid, not getting the flu, 519 00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:28.400 and this new pneumonia that's out there. Goodness, there's always something. 520 00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.719 It's always those pesky pathogens out there. And I remember, you know, 521 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:37.480 because I'm growing up in Michigan. This is the time of year where everybody 522 00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.760 is just coughing and creeping, and it didn't matter where you went. You're 523 00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:45.079 like, oh gosh, everyone's sick. And I know it's starting to happen 524 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:50.960 up there in New York where everyone's kind of starting to get the cough and 525 00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.840 the runny nose and the sinus congestion. You want to try to avoid that 526 00:46:55.039 --> 00:47:00.079 from happening in the first place. So this is why we have such an 527 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:06.920 extensive line of immune health supplements, why we have these nutrients that are partnered 528 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.199 up together. So the immunity multivitamin definitely an excellent choice to use during this 529 00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:17.360 time of year. Adding in that green TTX. Remember that's that liquid tincture 530 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:22.719 form. You don't take that straight up. Just as a side note to 531 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:25.360 that, the best way to use the green TTX because it's very powerful. 532 00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.760 I've had people do it. I'm like, oh goodness, that's very very 533 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:35.440 bitter. But you use two full droppers, so not a single drop, 534 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.119 but the full dropper. As much as you can get into that little squeezer 535 00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:44.280 and you add that in with about four to six ounces of water, just 536 00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:49.000 depending on what your taste bud's like, and you sip on that. And 537 00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:52.239 what that's going to allow to do is it allows the EGCG, those powerful 538 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:58.960 catkins to coat the back of the throat. So if you're out there doing 539 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:02.880 your holiday shopping and someone's coughing and creeping, then you're not going to be 540 00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.239 as alarmed by that ACU. You're like, you know what, that's okay. 541 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.360 I got the power of the green TTX, you know, hanging out 542 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.159 in my system right now, which gives me this added layer of protection. 543 00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:19.159 So and if you partner that up with the immunity multi vitamin so many different 544 00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.280 nutrients, colostrum is a really excellent choice. I just had someone who reached 545 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:28.800 out to me last week who's just getting over on COVID, and that was 546 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:30.599 one of the questions, was like, well, what should I take post 547 00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:37.159 COVID? And so colostrum was one of the first nutrients that I had advised 548 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:42.519 because colostrum, remember that is when you think about breastfed babies, why that's 549 00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:47.719 so important because they're getting all of those powerful immunoglobulins coming from the breast milk. 550 00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:53.199 So when we're using colostrum in encapsulated form, this is what we're getting. 551 00:48:53.239 --> 00:49:00.800 We're getting these powerful amino globulins and vitamins and minerals and antioxidants that help 552 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:07.079 to promote a very powerful immune system response in the presence of any type of 553 00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:14.639 you know, virus or bacteria. So supplementation with colostrum is very helpful not 554 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:19.880 only to enhance your immune defenses, but what's really nice is post COVID in 555 00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:23.199 particular, because a lot of folks are still dealing with the COVID long haulers, 556 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:28.039 but you can get this with you know, the common cold where you 557 00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.559 start feeling a little bit better, but that you still kind of feel like 558 00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:36.159 your energy levels are down. Colostrum is excellent for promoting energy, which is 559 00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:42.679 why a lot of athletes use colostrum as part of their supplementation routine because it 560 00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:47.920 helps the body create energy and it helps with muscle recovery. So after you've 561 00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:52.800 been sick, you know, if you have a cold, if you have 562 00:49:52.840 --> 00:50:00.320 the flu, and you're past that initial phase of the real nasty symptoms and 563 00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.039 you go on to feeling a little bit better, but you still feel like 564 00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:10.159 you're getting tired, then taking colostrum is a really good choice for you. 565 00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:15.079 Now, of course, we have many nutrients that help with energy production. 566 00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:21.599 I mentioned are ubiquinol. This is also something that's very good to have on 567 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:27.679 board anytime we're you know, dealing with an illness recovery. It doesn't matter 568 00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:31.559 if it's a viral infection or if it's you know, you go in for 569 00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:40.000 surgery, whatever is putting stress on the body. Taking your ubiquenol is really 570 00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:45.119 very important. And remember the form that we use, the conic of form 571 00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:51.760 is the form that has been the most well studied. It is sourced in 572 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:57.000 Texas. That's where we get that from. Just an excellent way to make 573 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:01.800 sure that your coenzyme Q ten that your supplement with is actually getting absorbed and 574 00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:07.440 the fact that we have the NADH and that really quite beneficial to Actually, 575 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:15.119 just this week a study came out showing another important side benefit of NADH and 576 00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:19.599 that they found. This was published in the Aging Cell Journal, but they 577 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:27.960 found that NADH, this vitamin B three substrate not only beneficial for cholesterol management, 578 00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:34.280 but they actually found it was very helpful for prevention of hearing loss. 579 00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:42.320 So it's kind of the hair cells. They are very prone to different degrees 580 00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:47.880 of damage and they could see that through the addition of NADH, it led 581 00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:52.199 to this layer of protection for the for the hair cells, so quite impressive 582 00:51:52.280 --> 00:52:00.000 there. This is why we have the NADH added in with our ubiquenol one 583 00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:07.000 and it's study after study that continue to show us why you know, taking 584 00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:13.920 NADH is so beneficial. We have it in our product to help the ubiquinl 585 00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:19.719 stay in the inside of the cell for a longer sustained period of time. 586 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:24.079 And that's important for you because we know the role that co q ten is 587 00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:32.199 playing for making ATP and so through the action of NADH, this allows for 588 00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:38.440 that ubiquinol to really stay at a high steady state for an extended period. 589 00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:45.280 So this is why it's our most popular coq ten formulation that we offer is 590 00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:50.039 the ubiquenol with the NADH, So definitely check that one out. And it 591 00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:55.800 is of course part of what should be everyone's standard daily supplementation routine. Every 592 00:52:55.840 --> 00:53:01.119 single day we should all be taking a comprehen multi vitamin multimineral. So right 593 00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:06.320 now, maybe the immunity multivitamin would be your go to need to be taking 594 00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:12.280 those omega threes, fish oil, krill oil. We have the Inflammune that's 595 00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:19.000 a really excellent choice during cold and flu season. Number the Inflammune HX formulation 596 00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:24.039 that we offer. That's a partnering of four different that's always interesting, four 597 00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:30.159 different omega threes. So you get the green lip muscle which is yielding you 598 00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:38.199 three powerful omega three fatty acids, so it has epa dha plus eta, 599 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:45.159 and then you get the perilla extract and the perilla seed extract is giving you 600 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:51.199 ala. So that's the plant based form of omega threes. So in combination, 601 00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:58.079 you were getting these four powerful omega three fatty acids that helped to lessen 602 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.639 inflammation in the body, which is very key for folks who maybe are prone 603 00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:08.599 to chronic bronchitis and as soon as the weather starts to change, the temperature 604 00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:12.760 starts to go down, you start to feel it in your airways. So 605 00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:17.320 adding in Inflammune is very helpful. And the fact that it has that perilla 606 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:23.440 extract we know also is wonderful for regulation of histamine. So if you're dealing 607 00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:29.440 with seasonal allergies, maybe now that you're going to be spending more time indoors 608 00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:32.440 and that forced heat coming in. We always have to have concerns about that 609 00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:40.599 too for our airways. So taking the Inflammune formulation is a really wonderful Omega 610 00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:45.519 three option for you during cold and flu season, and you also get the 611 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:51.519 side benefit.

We're like, wow, 613 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:57.400 you know, I had, you know, some knee pain and I started 614 00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:01.480 using Inflammune and it's like over not. And yes, we expect these things 615 00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.400 to occur because of the absorption rate of that powerful New Zealand source.
