Hello, 7 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.799 and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific 8 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.399 director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning to everyone. I have many things 9 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:54.560 to cover with you today, including some new studies that I think impact all 10 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.960 of us. And I talk often on different podcasts that I do as well 11 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.799 on this show about the importance of being able to detoxify our bodies. There 12 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.000 are many things that are out of our control in our environment that can lead 13 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:19.000 to significant shifts in our health. And we know that air pollution is one 14 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.400 component to that. But we also know that the foods that we eat, 15 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:30.159 ultra process foods as an example, can certainly drive up a significant amount of 16 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.239 I always call it just toxic sludge. So we want to be able to 17 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.439 zero in on that. And we have many different formulations that are geared towards 18 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:47.280 cellular detoxification, including formulations such as the daily detox powder as an example, 19 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.879 as well as glued to HX. So I want to talk about some studies 20 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.239 that have come out recently because I do think that these should resonate with you 21 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.040 in the sense that when you go hmm, okay. So we know all 22 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.200 of these different facts. We know that as Americans, just as an example, 23 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.479 we know that this country consumes the highest amount of ultra processed foods compared 24 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.319 to any other country, and unfortunately, our bad habits have spread globally. 25 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.000 So you have all of these other countries where ultraprocessed food consumption was just not 26 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.360 a thing, and now you're starting to see an uptick in their intake of 27 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:35.080 ultra processed foods. And we clearly know that ultra processed foods are not nutrient 28 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.319 dense. So if you are listening and you know, yeah, you know 29 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.159 what I do, stop by those fast food establishments or I'm getting those meals 30 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.639 ready to go, you know, from the frozen food section at the grocery 31 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.759 store. Then maybe you really need to zero in on detoxification because we know 32 00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:00.159 that those foods are first and foremost not providing us the new so at bare 33 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:07.599 minimum taking the core multi vitamin would be incredibly advantageous, but also to zero 34 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:15.520 in on nutrients that can help to facilitate proper detoxification each and every single day, 35 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.240 because remember, our bodies are well equipped to try and clean ourselves up, 36 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.159 and we go through these different phases of detoxification each day. And so 37 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.599 when we start to break down those different phases and you say, well, 38 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:37.919 wow, those are highly reliant on vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and if 39 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:44.199 we don't have an adequate supply of these key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, 40 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.080 that our body is really going to struggle. So we see this time after 41 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:53.120 time, and there are so many clinical research studies out there now, folks, 42 00:03:53.520 --> 00:04:00.759 that really show just how detrimental ultra processed foods are to the human body. 43 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.240 We know these things, but yet people continue to consume them. I 44 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.520 talk about a study that came out of Florida Atlantic University, which, by 45 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.080 the way, they're doing really good in basketball again this year. I tried 46 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.279 because they're just up the road for me. I'm down here in South Florida 47 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.319 and FAU is in Boca. So I was like, oh, you know, 48 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.480 I'm gonna go check out a basketball game because I love college basketball. 49 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.120 They're sold out and so I was like, really for the entire season, 50 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.680 So that's kind of crazy. But nonetheless, they did this really wonderful study 51 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:40.079 on ultra process food consumption and they estimated that close to seventy percent of caloric 52 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:46.399 intake by most Americans is coming from ultra process foods. And then they were 53 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.160 drawing that linkage to you know, fatty liver disease, the increase of fatty 54 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:56.279 liver disease in this country, so we can tie it to many different problems 55 00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:01.879 obesity, diabetes, clearly, you know concerns. So we need to just 56 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.120 do better when it comes to the foods that we are selecting to eat every 57 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.519 single day. You know, adherence to a Mediterranean style way of eating is 58 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:16.040 really your best bet. But nonetheless, we see these studies that are really 59 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:21.000 starting to kind of pile up in a sense. And so this study just 60 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:27.680 came out this week out of University of Washington School of Medicine. So I 61 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.600 really want you to hear what the findings were in this study, because it 62 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:42.720 should be incredibly alarming to you because they're zeroing in on pregnant women. Okay, 63 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.639 so this is important, right. We want women who are carrying a 64 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.319 child to be as healthy as possible. This is kind of a given, 65 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:57.480 right. But University of Washington School of Medicine, they were looking at ultra 66 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.680 processed foods and flates that are actually contained in ultra process foods. And you 67 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.920 may say, well, what the heck is a thyalate? Well, these 68 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:11.000 are these chemicals when you think about BPA's and you know, most people now 69 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.639 are like, oh, I want to have you know, BPA free water 70 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.000 bottle for example. But we know that thealates are found in pretty much every 71 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:25.439 single consumer, not only packaging, but just products that people are using, 72 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.959 and you know, toys that kids play with, you name it. You 73 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.000 can find thealates and they're just this whole swath of different chemicals that the body 74 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.399 doesn't know what to do with them. And we can find detectable, very 75 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:43.600 high detectable levels of palates in the blood as well as in the urine. 76 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:48.279 So we know that as Americans, we're constantly inundated with these harmful chemicals. 77 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:56.240 Unfortunately, this is up to you know, legislators to make any type of 78 00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.680 a difference in this. And while the science is out there and you can 79 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:06.040 see the harmful effects, whether you're looking at fertility issues and chemical exposures or 80 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:13.319 if you're looking at chronic disease states and tying that in with these chemical exposures, 81 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.839 we are not at a point yet in this country where folks are willing 82 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.879 to say, you know what, let's just ban that. So what we 83 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.920 need to do, as invite health radio listeners is we need to say, 84 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.600 let me be proactive in my own health and let me make sure that I'm 85 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.560 helping my body detoxify. So University of Washington School of Medicine, they looked 86 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:45.040 at how they lights this class of chemicals associated with plastics can actually shed from 87 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.959 the wrappings. And this isn't a new finding. I talked about a study 88 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.160 similar to this, probably eight years ago, and where they actually tested out 89 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.120 from different fast food establishments and they were looking at the amount of leeching out 90 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.560 of those chemicals into the actual food itself. So I mean, one part 91 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.399 is the food is not healthy, but then secondly, you have all this 92 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.279 leeching of these chemicals coming from the wrappers, so it's just adding insult to 93 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.279 injury. So what they said is pregnant women need to avoid avoid ultra processed 94 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.480 foods fast foods during pregnancy. And I was reading this study and I said, 95 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.720 Okay, well this makes sense, but the fact that they're just isolating 96 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.200 it out to just say pregnant women. It should be all humans, we 97 00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.480 should all be avoiding this. Why do any of us want to, you 98 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.600 know, be cluttering up our bodies with these harmful, known chemicals. And 99 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:48.679 this was published in the Environmental International Journal, and they were looking at the 100 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.360 amount of leeching coming out from those wrappers and the different packaging materials that foods 101 00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:00.600 are put into. They even looked at the plastic gloves that food handlers use 102 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:07.919 when preparing foods at fast food restaurants. So what the correlation was was they 103 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.000 started to test the serum blood levels of these chemicals in pregnant women, and 104 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:24.960 then they were looking at the correlation between autism and other mental development disorders in 105 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.919 infancy, so looking at newborns and then looking at their serum levels of those 106 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.399 harmful chemicals, and they could see that direct link they could see that when 107 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.159 moms are exposed to these chemicals that it crosses the placenta and actually makes its 108 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.600 way into fetal circulation. So it's an incredibly alarming study. It's not a 109 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.879 surprise to me to read this because I've been studying this for so many years. 110 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.679 Did my master's degree in public health, and when I took my environmental 111 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:03.759 health course, I was really just alarmed by how much is in our environment 112 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.519 that the public generally, for the most part, is not even aware of. 113 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.960 You know, clearly, we know that there are you know, heavy 114 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.320 metal exposures that we can all you know, get just from foods, you 115 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:24.000 know, just depending upon where foods are grown in this country or other countries 116 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.320 that are imported into the United States. And you know, it's your thing 117 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.000 about things like arsenic for example. So we know that these chemical exposures are 118 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.360 quite large, whether we're looking at thay lights and the different plastics. And 119 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.120 I talk often about nanoplastics and how they are found everywhere. I always say, 120 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.559 if you come down here to Florida and you want to take a nice 121 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.440 walk on the beach, there's the nerdles. So nerdles are these tiny, 122 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.559 little micro nanoplastics. You can't see them. They're the size of a piece 123 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.960 of sand, but yet they can absorb into the skin and make their way 124 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.039 into the bloodstream. So knowing all these things, we have to say, 125 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.840 well, what can we do better? So this is when we look at 126 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:16.159 formulations such as greens achex. Greens ahex is such a powerhouse, and when 127 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.480 Jerry Hicky formulated that so many years ago, he really hit the nail on 128 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.639 the head because not only did he combine close to forty fruit and vegetable extracts 129 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:33.799 in this wonderful herbal blend, he also put in probiotic so to enhance the 130 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:41.440 immune system and to support the microbial environment to once again help to facilitate better 131 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.559 detoxification. So it's just it's hands down, just a wonderful way to every 132 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.720 day help your body go through that cleansing process. So you look at greens 133 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.399 Achex with all of its powerful nutrients and that wonderful probiotic blend. And then 134 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:05.639 this piggybacks off of a new study that just came out showing that certain strains 135 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:13.159 of bacteria, healthy bacteria, can actually help the body remove nanoplastics. So 136 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.000 maybe you're sitting here listening and you're going, oh, my goodness, for 137 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.360 the past decade. Yeah, I'm a frequent flyer of the old fast food 138 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.039 joints. This is not good. But don't worry, because what you can 139 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.559 do is you can take that greens ahex every day, take one scoop of 140 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.039 greens achex. If you want to take two scoops, that's fine too, 141 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.200 but you want to take that on a consistent regular basis so that your liver 142 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:46.320 is getting this wonderful exposure to those key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and 143 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.279 of course those powerful herbs that can help your little tiny liver cells those patosites 144 00:12:52.720 --> 00:13:00.919 in being able to remove harmful toxins, including looking at things like BPA and 145 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.440 thy lates, those nanoplastics. So I really dove into this this week and 146 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:15.360 was looking at the identifiable strains of bacteria that have been shown to really have 147 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:22.000 a powerful effect on the removal of those nanoplastics from the human body. So 148 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.720 I want to mention a couple of those, letting you know that if you 149 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.960 were using the greens HX, you're getting really wonderful coverage. If you use 150 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:37.080 the probiotic women formulation which men can use to also going to get wonderful exposure 151 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.120 to these known healthy bacteria to help remove plastics out of the system, as 152 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.120 well as the probiotic HX. So I do need to squeeze in a quick 153 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.639 break, but when I come back, I'm going to tell you about those 154 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.399 different probiotics and why it would be incredibly advantageous for you to make sure that 155 00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:01.080 you are including a good, powerful probiotic into your daily routine to get rid 156 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.759 of all of those nanoplastics. So I will be right back just after this. 157 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.840 For twenty five years, invite Health has been leading the way in wellness 158 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.879 with our extensive line of dietary supplements.

We have so many 174 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:33.240 different formulations that can really help the body when it comes to targeting all of 175 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.799 the sludge that we pick up along the way. So talking about the different 176 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:46.799 strains of bacteria that have been shown to help the body with that removal of 177 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:54.759 those nanoplastics, it really was interesting to me the power of healthy lacto bacilli 178 00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:03.159 strains, So the absorption capacity of particular strains of lacto bacillis have been shown 179 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:08.559 to be highly effective in being able to kind of bind on to those nanoplastics 180 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:15.000 that we pick up from all different consumer products out there, and food wrappers 181 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.720 and what you store your foods in, you know, things that you're touching 182 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.039 throughout the day that leach out. I mean, there's a lot of things 183 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.240 that we just don't think about as to where we can get these common chemical 184 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:33.240 exposures from. So Lacto bacillis just the general family does a wonderful job, 185 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.559 which is why I mentioned the probiotic women because that's four different strains of powerful 186 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:45.960 lacto bacilli, So we know it's wonderful for helping with the normal floral environment 187 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.279 for the vaginal tract as well as for men. You know, when you 188 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.679 think about the eurogenital health and the microbiome, it's very important, you know, 189 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.720 to maintain healthy microbes so that we are not you know, falling victim 190 00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:11.799 to a urinary tract infection or for men, prostatitis. Prostatitis becomes a much 191 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.279 more prevalent condition that men deal with as they get older, partly because of 192 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:22.559 the natural enlarging of the prostate. And it really just comes down to an 193 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.640 anatomy issue. You know, the human body is designed in its own unique 194 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.599 way, but just the anatomy of where the prostate is located, in the 195 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:37.039 way that the urethra runs through there. That is, you know, a 196 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.200 area of concern. So for men, you know, taking the Probiotic Women, 197 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.480 you can definitely do that. And it also has that wonderful blend of 198 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:51.440 garlic and time extracts, so once again powerful antioxidants and they help to ease 199 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:57.599 inflammation. So looking at the different studies and the different bacterial strains, I 200 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.200 started to, you know, kind of dive into many of our products, 201 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.640 and Probiotic Women is one of those. But also Probiotic h X, which 202 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:17.400 has the Lactobacillis ramnosis and it has Lactobacillis plantarum, and Lactobacilis plantarum in particular 203 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:25.279 was really one of those bacterial strains that they showed to be highly effective at 204 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:30.319 targeting those nanoplastics. So if you're listening and you say, hmm, I 205 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.599 don't take a probiotic right now, then perhaps go to our website Invite health 206 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.079 dot com, or stop by a store and get yourself your Probiotic HX, 207 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:44.960 or if you do have some concerns with urinary health, get that Probiotic Women 208 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.359 formulation, and as I mentioned, men can definitely take that. So I 209 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:56.799 really enjoy kind of jumping into to some of these different studies and really understanding, 210 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.880 you know, how it is that the human body does its best to 211 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.480 combat all of the things that we come across, but how easy it is 212 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:14.200 for us to get that upper hand and to really combat a lot of these 213 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:21.240 things just through dietary supplementation, making some small modifications obviously in your dietary intake 214 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.240 first and foremost. You know, ultra process foods, folks, we just 215 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:32.079 need to avoid them. You know. I used to do a regular check 216 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:37.839 in with a cardiologist on one of the programs that I did, and he 217 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:45.000 not only is an interventional cardiologist, he's also an executive chef. So he's 218 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.920 very unique in his own right. And we used to talk about this on 219 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.880 a regular basis, like why are we still consuming ultra process foods in this 220 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.759 country? I mean, we know, we know the harmful effects of those 221 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:03.720 foods. We I know that we are not just dealing with the lack of 222 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.920 nutrients in those foods, but we're also now dealing with all of the chemicals. 223 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.680 And I said, this isn't new news, this is information that we've 224 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.039 known for years and years. As I mentioned, they did a study about 225 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:23.440 eight years ago on the amount of plates that were found in food packaging and 226 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:30.480 food wrappers. So it's just it's really it's shameful. It's the best thing 227 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.960 that you can do, but yeah, it's just been linked to so many 228 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.039 things. Increase risk of you know, certain types of cancers, clearly breast 229 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:45.279 cancer, prostate cancers, increase risk in diabetes. We've clearly seen the links 230 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:52.400 between you know, low birth weight babies, as well as autism, a 231 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:59.319 lot of concerns obesity. There's a study on obesity and the linkage in men 232 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:07.160 in particular to the exposure to these common chemicals found in plastics that are everywhere 233 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:12.160 in our environment, so you know, fibroids they've linked to this, to 234 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:17.759 to thylate exposure. Obviously I had mentioned, you know, fertility issues. 235 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.799 So it's just we just have to do better. But we can help you 236 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.799 out and invite health. So we have all these wonderful, powerful formulations, 237 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:30.279 including glue to HX. Glue to HX is one of those formulations that I 238 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:37.480 think is just fabulous just in terms of its its main reason as to why 239 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.720 you would want to be supplementing with this formulation. It's a powder, so 240 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.359 it's very easy to take, you know, one scoop a day. It 241 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:52.480 is loaded down with very wonderful nutrients, including dimethyl glycine, and we know 242 00:21:52.559 --> 00:22:00.119 the importance of DMG when it comes to our overall health. Dimethyl Glycine is 243 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:06.480 is quite critical to not only allowing the body to produce additional glue to thione. 244 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.519 Glue to thione is kind of our master antioxidant in the body, So 245 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:18.480 dimethyl glycine is a precursor in the body to making glue to thione to help 246 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:23.000 the liver clean itself up. But in this formulation you have dimethyl glycine along 247 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:30.039 with spinach extract, there is parsley. So it's really wonderful for fluid balance. 248 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.400 So for folks who you know, maybe have some yeah, some heart 249 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:41.640 issues and maybe that pumping mechanism isn't quite up to snuff, then we ideally 250 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.720 want to make sure that we're taking nutrients that help our circulatory system when it 251 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.799 comes to proper fluid balance. So I have found that many individuals who you 252 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.200 know, maybe they started taking glue to HX because they went in and they 253 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.480 found out that they have, you know, the beginnings of non alcoholic fatty 254 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:04.240 liver diacy. They wanted to take a very powerful formulation to support liver detoxification 255 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.359 and in doing so they're like, wow, you know, I used to 256 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.480 have some mild swelling in my ankles. Now that I'm using this formulation, 257 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.640 that seems to have gone away. Well it makes sense because of that Parsley 258 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.640 extract. It really does a wonderful job. Same thing with the spinach extract. 259 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:27.200 But we can see a linkage between low levels of dimethyl glycine in the 260 00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:36.160 human body along with the development of diabetes. This was a very fascinating study 261 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:44.680 that was conducted in coordination with Harvard along with some research universities over in Sweden, 262 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.519 and was published in the Diabetes Journal close to a decade ago now, 263 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:56.079 back in twenty fifteen, where they tested out the serum blood levels of dimethyl 264 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:02.200 glycine and then they looked at a direct causal link between the low DMG and 265 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.839 the development of type two diabetes. So we know the facts on this. 266 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:15.440 We understand that dimethyl glycine is naturally occurring in the body and as we grow 267 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:22.200 older, the normal manufacturing of that begins to diminish, and we have to 268 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:29.200 have dimethyl glycine for so many different functions. It's responsible for all of the 269 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:36.240 cellular functions that are occurring. And there's over forty different chemical processes or biochemical 270 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:41.319 processes that occur each day in the human body that are reliant on dimethyl glycine. 271 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.960 So when you think about brain function, for example, dimethyl glycine plays 272 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.400 a role in this. So if you have concerns with memory, then we 273 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.119 should say, well, maybe I need to re establish my dimethyl glycine levels. 274 00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.759 So taking that glue to HX each day, I may be thinking about 275 00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:06.440 that in that setting of liver health and detoxification, but this is actually a 276 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:12.319 powerhouse when it comes to immune health as well as brain health, circulatory health 277 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.880 in general. At the same time, we're getting that wonderful effect of making 278 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:25.079 additional glue to thione. So you just can't really beat that. Another formulation 279 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:30.359 that you can turn to when thinking about ultra process foods. First and foremost, 280 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.480 try to stop eating ultra process foods. I oftentimes laugh and say, 281 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:37.160 you know, I used to always think, oh, I'm so healthy, 282 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:42.039 and I was not. I was not healthy at all. You know, 283 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:48.160 I look back when I was in medical school, I had just a horrific 284 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.440 diet and I thought it was healthy because I wasn't, you know, going 285 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.119 out getting fast foods. So I was like, no, I eat pretty 286 00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:02.720 healthy, but I really wasn't. And it wasn't until you know, I 287 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:11.440 really started to understand how the body absorbs nutrients and uses those nutrients for daily 288 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:22.920 function that I myself made this shift over to adhering completely to a Mediterranean style 289 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.039 way of eating. Now, in doing that, I found some really wonderful 290 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:32.200 effects for myself. Number One, it gave me really good energy. And 291 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.400 I always thought I have good energy. I'm kind of more Jerry Hickey and 292 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:38.640 I both are kind of wired the same, We're both a little bit on 293 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:44.640 the hyper side. But once I changed my diet, I was like, 294 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.400 oh my gosh, like I feel great all day long. So I didn't 295 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.480 realize how much the foods were weighing me down. But then I also recognized, 296 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.759 like, oh gosh, if these foods were actually weighing me down so 297 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.200 much, what's the residual effect. So this is when I really started to 298 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:07.599 make sure I was taking nutrients to help my body remove any of those harmful 299 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:12.440 substances that I had been exposed to. So you know, paying attention to 300 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.319 daily detoxication to me is very important. Looking at formulations such as the Performance 301 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:26.400 Multivitamin is another excellent way for us to get wonderful coverage of those mineral envitamin 302 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:33.960 deficiencies that perhaps we may be getting from our dietary intake. That the foods 303 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.039 are just not as nutrient dense as they once used to be, so we 304 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.640 want to get coverage on that front. We know that we're supplementing with the 305 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:45.240 Performance Multivitamin. Not only do we get those bioactive B vitamins to help with 306 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:52.680 energy for red blood cell production, for the ability for the liver once again 307 00:27:52.880 --> 00:28:00.920 to properly detoxify. That is really key. We understand that the liver is 308 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:07.720 relying on those B vitamins on folate on B twelve, very important that we 309 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.680 have adequate amounts of those in order for the liver to properly detoxify. We 310 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:18.400 also know that B vitamins are key for our immune system. So the Performance 311 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.400 Multivitamin is giving you those bioactive bees along with natural vitamin E, but then 312 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:32.319 it also has sood superoxide dismutastes along with having rodeola extract. So I'll talk 313 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:37.160 briefly about those and why those are beneficial when it comes to sell energy, 314 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.440 when it comes to heart function, when it comes to brain function, when 315 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.599 it comes to your metabolism in general, on the flip side of this break, 316 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:49.359 So stick around with me.

I am doctor 329 00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:04.480 Amanda Williams, scientific director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning. If you 330 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:11.400 are just now joining in talking about the Performance multivitamin. This has been our 331 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:18.759 most popular multi vitamin that we offer for so many years and across the board 332 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.680 as far as who has used this formulation and continues to use this. You 333 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:30.839 know, we have professional athletes who have been using our Performance multivitamin because it 334 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:37.440 helps them with energy production as well as muscle recovery. Obviously, this is 335 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:44.640 the number one multivitamin in our product line that I turn to for folks who 336 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:52.839 have any type of heart concerns or anyone who has metabolism concerns. So what 337 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.440 am I actually saying If you are a pre diabetic, if you have high 338 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:02.079 blood pressure, if you are a type two diabetic, this should be the 339 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:08.079 multivitamin that you select. Because we know many things about individuals who have pre 340 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:12.440 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or type two diabetes. First, we know that 341 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.599 their energy levels are generally in the dumps. Why, because your mitochondria, 342 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:25.640 the inner core of your cell, it loses the ability to properly function, 343 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.960 because just think about that, like all that sugar is just kind of clumping 344 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:34.359 up on the cell surface, and so it runs your cells down, so 345 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:41.440 they just become very lethargic. So if you start supplementing with the Performance multivitamin, 346 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.000 not only are you getting in this powerhouse of those B vitamins and all 347 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:51.519 those keylated minerals so they make their way through the digestive track without being broken 348 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.960 down in the stomach acids for example. So you get all of those, 349 00:31:55.119 --> 00:32:00.200 but you're also getting Rodeola extract. And we know that Rodeola extract is an 350 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:07.720 adrenal adaptogenic herb, and it has been shown to be incredibly beneficial for not 351 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:13.000 only helping the body to offset the negative effects of stress, and we know 352 00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:17.880 a lot of folks have stress, but it also can help generate energy, 353 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:23.440 which makes it really unique. And what I love about Rodeola extract is that 354 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:29.920 it works really quickly. It's not one of those supplements where you're like, 355 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.599 well, I got to take this for the next two months before I notice 356 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:36.799 the difference, and not that there's anything wrong. If it's a formulation that's 357 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.759 like that, because sometimes we have to build up this steady state of a 358 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:46.519 particular nutrient in order for the body to really start to properly utilize that, 359 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:52.440 which is why being regular with your supplementation routine is key. I have folks 360 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.279 all the time that are like, well, I tried that. I tried 361 00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.759 it, you know, for two days, and that didn't work. It's 362 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.400 like, well, this is you know, the clinical studies show you have 363 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.480 to be on it for at least eight weeks for you to really start to 364 00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.920 see those potential benefits. But this is not the case with rodeola. Rodeola 365 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:13.839 you see those effects instantaneous, which is a wonderful thing. So you're taking 366 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.759 this multi item in every day, the performance multi item, and you're getting 367 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:23.440 all those powerful vitamins and minerals, and you are getting Rodeola extract, which 368 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.160 is great for athletes, but it's also great for folks who have a sluggish 369 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:35.839 thyroid. We know that rodeola really can benefit the metabolism. We know that's 370 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:40.799 gonna give us this nice sense of well being and help to encourage better sell 371 00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:49.480 energy production. And then this is partnered with superoxide dismutases, so SOD is 372 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:55.720 one of our natural occurring antioxidants in the body. Once again, we know 373 00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.599 that as we get older, those levels begin to diminish. Well, that's 374 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:07.239 a problem for a few different reasons. Once again, not enough SOD means 375 00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:14.480 we don't have enough of this powerful antioxidant to protect our blood vessels, and 376 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:20.800 that's very critical. So we have seen studies where they actually show that low 377 00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:30.960 levels of superoxide disputat have a direct link to an increase thickening of the carotid 378 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:36.880 artery. That's alarming, that's incredibly alarming. This is a study back in 379 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:43.679 two thousand and nine and it was published in the Diabetes Research Journal, So 380 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:49.360 they were looking at diabetics and so we already know remember diabetics, if you 381 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:55.039 have load dmg dimethyl glycine, that makes you prone to worsening of diabetes. 382 00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.199 And if you are not a diabetic and you have load dimethyl glycine levels, 383 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:07.039 that makes you more likely to develop diabetes. So now we're looking at this 384 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.159 SOD study, so we're dealing with two naturally occurring antioxidants in the body, 385 00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:19.480 and if you have low blood levels of super oxide dismutase, there was a 386 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:27.400 direct correlation between the carotid artery becoming thick well, that's a big problem. 387 00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.920 If we have a thick carotid artery, that means we're not getting proper blood 388 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:39.920 flow and oxygen to our noggin. And if our brain is not getting proper 389 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.679 blood flow and oxygen, we're going to feel the effects of that. So 390 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:52.079 this is why the performance multivitamin. I always categorize this as being like the 391 00:35:52.079 --> 00:36:00.360 the ideal formulation for anyone with heart disease, anyone who has diabetes, anyone 392 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:07.559 who has concerns with heart health or metabolic health. And it's just it's such 393 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:13.800 a wonderful formula. This is I can go on and on about the Performance 394 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.280 multipim but I'll leave it at the aut I have other things that I want 395 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:21.679 to cover. So these are just areas that we we have to always think 396 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:27.159 about. We know that as we grow older, certain things become less efficient. 397 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:31.119 We see it with coenzyme Q ten production just as an example. You 398 00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:36.679 know, as we get older, our body makes less and less co q 399 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:42.760 ten, so we need coq ten. It's the primary fuel for our cell 400 00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:50.320 energy. This is why supplementation with ubiquinol is so key. And I always 401 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:55.320 say, when you look at a basic supplementation routine, regardless of your age, 402 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:01.440 everyone should be supplementing with coen enzyme q ten. It's very important. 403 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:07.840 So we have our ubiquenol sixty milligram is on a special right now, so 404 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.639 take advantage of that. Remember we use the Konica form. That's the form 405 00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:16.880 of coenzyme q ten that is the most well regarded in terms of the clinical 406 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:23.760 research. That evidence based of how the body actually absorbs that form of coenzyme 407 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:28.679 q ten. It gets into the system, and you know, if you 408 00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.599 can always go in and have your blood level tested, Folks, you can 409 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:37.639 go have a co Q ten level tested, and then you start supplementing with 410 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.039 the invite hew ubiquenol and go in even a month later, you're going to 411 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.960 see that that coenzyme q ten level is going to start to build back up, 412 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:49.920 which is a wonderful thing for you because we know co Q ten is 413 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:54.280 a antioxidant for the body, but it's also key for our energy production. 414 00:37:55.119 --> 00:38:05.280 So now I want to talk about another interesting study. Nac n acetylsysteine. 415 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:14.239 This is one of those nutrients once again that has so many utilizations. You 416 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.719 know, once again it's a precursor to making glutathione in the body, which 417 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:22.440 is key. We need to have as much glue to thione as we possibly 418 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:29.280 can to keep that liver nice and happy. But we also know NAC has 419 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.199 been you know, studied in a variety of different ways. I mean, 420 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:38.599 back in the nineteen forties, it was predominantly looked at as a mucolytic drug 421 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:45.880 and it's still to this day is prescribed by pullmonologists for individuals who have pulmonary 422 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:52.840 fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, different respiratory issues where there's a thickening of the mucous 423 00:38:52.880 --> 00:39:00.639 membrane. We know that NAC naturally helps to thin that mucus. So in 424 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:06.239 the nineteen forties this is the way that ncetyl systeine was looked at. Remember 425 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:08.880 this is occurring in the body, but if we don't have enough of it, 426 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:15.440 then you know, supplementation is certainly important. We have seen the studies 427 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:21.719 I've talked about the study on post heart attack with NAC, and they found 428 00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:24.400 that when individuals who had a heart attack, and you have a certain area 429 00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:28.679 of the heart, the heart muscle where it actually dies off, it's damage 430 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:35.800 significantly from having a myocardial infarction, that when they gave those individuals NAC right 431 00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:40.840 away that it actually allowed that heart muscle to stay viable, to stay alive, 432 00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:47.760 so that damage was not as impressionable as it would have been without NAC. 433 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.360 So that's just such a fascinating study. I mean, that just tells 434 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.880 you the power of these different nutrients. And I mean clearly we can see 435 00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:00.480 the benefits of NAC for respiratory health. To really understand like, wow, 436 00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:07.880 you can use NAC to help repair a damaged heart muscle, Like that's incredibly 437 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:13.320 impressive. So now here's a brand new study that came out in the Pain 438 00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:21.440 Management Journal. So the Pain Management Journal, they reported the findings from the 439 00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:28.440 Medical University of South Carolina where they were giving NAC. Now this was IV 440 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:37.119 NAC or a placebo during surgery. And now remember NAC is really important folks. 441 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.480 If you do ever have to go in and have any type of surgical 442 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:45.599 procedure done where you're going under anesthesia. If you've reached out to Jerry Hickey 443 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.440 in the past, if you've reached out to me and you say, hey, 444 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:51.840 I have to go in and you know having this you know, minor 445 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:54.639 operation done, what should I do? You know, leading into the surgery? 446 00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.000 What should I do postop? You know what nutrients do I have to 447 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.800 stop taking before surgery? We get these questions all the time, but both 448 00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:07.639 Jerry and I will always say, start taking that NAC. You need to 449 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:15.679 be taking at minimum twelve hundred milligrams of anecetyl system for a good three or 450 00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:21.559 four days before you go in to go under anesthesia, and then after so 451 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:27.159 postop, you want to be taking three caps of our NAC. So that's 452 00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:30.199 eighteen hundred milligrams. So that's fine even if you want to bump that up 453 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:31.679 to twenty four hundred, if you want to do two caps twice a day. 454 00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.400 Perfect. So you want to be taking that NAC for at least ten 455 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:45.440 days after going under anesthesia because it'll help the body remove that anesthesia. Because 456 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.760 a lot of times people they'll go under, you know, for maybe a 457 00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.679 simple procedure, they come out of surgery and they're like, I don't feel 458 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:57.880 right, like in my brain. So and we know that this becomes worse 459 00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:02.480 as we get older. Why because once again the liver is struggling with proper 460 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:09.280 detoxification. So taking NAC pre op and post op very very important. So 461 00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:16.280 now back to the study. So University of South Carolina pain Management. So 462 00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:22.280 this is an interesting little spin on this. They were looking at if they 463 00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:29.960 gave individuals who went in and had surgery an acetyl system within two days following 464 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:35.519 the surgery, if this would help lower their pain scores, and what they 465 00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:46.400 found was incredibly impressive. They found that the impact of NAC allowed not only 466 00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:53.920 for the repair time to increase, so post surgery repair wound healing, because 467 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:58.920 think about it, we're using an anti accident, right, but also the 468 00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:01.960 perception of pain. They're like, yeah, I don't have I'm not that 469 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:07.239 much pain compared to the placebo group who was And remember pain is subjective. 470 00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:16.000 But this is a really incredibly impressive study showing that something as simple as anecetyl 471 00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:23.400 system can pack such a powerful punch. Remember, NAC has been shown to 472 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.800 do so many wonderful things. You know, when you look at it as 473 00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:30.480 an antioxidant, when you look at it as a mucolytic, you know, 474 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:35.760 to thin out that mucous membrane when you look at it, to protect the 475 00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:43.639 mitochondria from damage being done from external forces, those free radicals. When you 476 00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:49.440 see how it works to target different viruses and bacterias, it's been shown to 477 00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:54.639 be highly effective against things such as influenza and H. Pylori infection, and 478 00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:00.239 H Pylori folks, you don't ever want to mess around with that. Other 479 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:07.840 study just came out drawing that link between H. Pylori infection, which attacks 480 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:14.719 the stomach, and the direct link to Parkinson's disease. So if you find 481 00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:19.000 that you're very gassy a lot of belching, don't just chalk that up as 482 00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.320 normal as bad diet. Go and get tested make sure you don't have H. 483 00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:28.599 Pylori. But we know all of the wonderful things that NAC can do. 484 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.079 So I take NAC on a regular basis. It's one of those nutrients 485 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:36.039 where I think, even if you're not taking it every single day, if 486 00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.679 you add in a capsule two capsules a few times out of the week, 487 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:47.159 you are doing so much benefit for cellular detoxification and overall cellular protection. So 488 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.599 definitely check out the NAC. I do need to squeeze in one more break, 489 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:55.360 so stick around with me.

Maybe you're feeling that mid February brain fog. 506 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:39.159 You're just kind of over those thirty five forty degree cloudy gray days, 507 00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:44.440 and you're like, oh gosh, I just don't feel focused, I don't 508 00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:49.559 feel the attention. My brain just feels tired. Get that memory multivitamin. 509 00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:55.320 I can't speak enough about the benefits of that multivitamin. It's the core multivitamins. 510 00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:00.760 You get all those powerful vitamins and minerals in that form relation. And 511 00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:06.360 then it's partnered up with ginko bloba and it has CDP coalings that key fat 512 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:12.039 to help with the neuron structure. You don't want your brain cells getting dinged 513 00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.920 up or dented up. I always say it's not ideal. I always say 514 00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:21.559 if you have like two different lines. You know, you have the skinny 515 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:24.280 brain line and the fat brain line. You want to sign up to be 516 00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:29.719 in the fat brain line. You don't want to have a shrinking brain, 517 00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:36.360 So that CDP coaling is very beneficial for maintaining that brain volume. And then 518 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.559 you have the ginko which helps to fight off neurotoxicity from all the things that 519 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.920 we're exposed to air pollution, for example, And we know that ginko is 520 00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:54.960 wonderful for maintaining the proper vascular blood flow. It's very protective to those tiny 521 00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:02.800 little capillaries and the nerves that run in through the brain. So taking the 522 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:12.000 memory multivitamin it's not only beneficial for encouraging better memory, but in particular if 523 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.599 you do feel like you have brain fog or you just struggle with focus and 524 00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:24.599 attention, this is definitely a go to comprehensive daily multivitamin multimineral enhanced with those 525 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:30.719 nutrients to help power up the brain. Remember, it also has that low 526 00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:36.920 dose lithium that's a key trace mineral. That trace mineral helps with the removal 527 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:43.880 of toxic sludge. Once again that can build up and generate neuroinflammation, so 528 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:49.960 brain inflammation and brain toxicity. So I think most folks probably look and go, 529 00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:52.760 yeah, I don't want to have it inflamed brain and I don't want 530 00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:55.559 to have a toxic brain. So turn to the memory multivitam in twenty four 531 00:48:55.599 --> 00:49:01.199 to ninety five right now. It's an excellent, excellent on that particular product. 532 00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:06.559 So I didn't mention that this is Super Bowl weekend. I didn't get 533 00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:12.519 into my sports with everybody today. And yes, it's the big Game tomorrow. 534 00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.320 I'm sure everyone will be watching. I of course will be watching. 535 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.480 I like to watch the commercials. I usually get a kick out of at 536 00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:27.679 least a few of them. I don't have to express my saddened way that 537 00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:31.119 the Lions lost the forty nine ers that I was really hoping. I would 538 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:37.000 be really upbeat today knowing that the Lions would be playing in the super Bowl 539 00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:39.039 tomorrow. But that's not the case. But that's okay. There is next 540 00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:44.360 year. We still had an excellent season. So but I know a lot 541 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:50.000 of folks will be watching the game, probably snacking on foods that are not 542 00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:55.840 the healthiest, maybe partaking in some of those adult beverages. So if that 543 00:49:57.039 --> 00:50:01.440 sounds like you, make sure that today you prepare yourself by going and getting 544 00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:09.159 your NAC. Remember, NAC is a wonderful supplement to be taking if you 545 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:15.480 are going to be partaking in those adult beverages. Really can help with the 546 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:21.679 libertytoxification. You know, It's it's a complex series that happens if you consume 547 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:30.199 alcohol. There's different enzymes that get activated, and so you have you know, 548 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.119 alcohol dehydrogenase, and then you have a setyl eldehyde that can actually build 549 00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.840 up. So when people say that they have like a hangover, what that's 550 00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:44.039 due to is this byproduct that occurs because of the way that the alcohol is 551 00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:47.239 being broken down in the liver, So you get a settle eldehyde build up 552 00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:51.719 and that just kind of clouds up the brain. So if we want to 553 00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:57.719 try to avoid that, taking an acetyl cystein is a very good thing to 554 00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:02.760 consider. If you're going to to be partaking in those bad foods, for 555 00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.840 example, those ultra process foods, and maybe you tell yourself that's just one 556 00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:12.760 day, that's fine, but make sure you take your greens achex or that 557 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:21.199 glue to HX. Very important to support that detoxification because we know certain facts. 558 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:25.039 We know we have a lot of chemical exposures, Like if I could 559 00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:30.840 just go around and you know, take urine samples from every single person in 560 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.880 this country, or let's just say in New York, we're gonna see high 561 00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:42.039 levels of those stalates, and we want to minimize those exposures. Remember your 562 00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:47.199 probiotics, those lack of bacilla strains in particular, very beneficial. So if 563 00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:53.719 you're taking probiotic HX or the probiotic women. Of course, greens Achax is 564 00:51:53.760 --> 00:52:00.239 a wonderful blend of probiotic in that as well. So these are all things 565 00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:04.639 that we want to think about. But memory multivitamin that's on special. I'm 566 00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:08.760 super excited for you on that one, uh, Valentine's Day, that's right 567 00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:15.480 around the corner. And I always say during this, you know, very 568 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:22.360 special holiday that give the gift of health. You know, people are used 569 00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:28.559 to paying for overpriced roses. And I say that because when I was in 570 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:34.280 high school, I worked at a floorist and I loved it. But my 571 00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:37.800 job was, you know, all the flowers would come in off the truck 572 00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:39.519 and I was the one responsible for cleaning all of them, you know, 573 00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:44.000 removing all of the thorns. So I'd leave and I'd hit my hands would 574 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:50.159 be all cut up. But always at Valentine's Day there was the big price 575 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:55.760 increase in the roses. So oftentimes people want, you know, to give 576 00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:04.159 chocolates and give roses, but give the gift of health. There's nothing more 577 00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:10.400 lovely to give out on Valentine's Day than something like the cocos HX. And 578 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:15.840 you can do so many wonderful things with HX. You can make little fun 579 00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:22.639 macaroons, you can make a lovely, tasty, little hot cocoa. You 580 00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:30.440 can add it in with some yogurt and make a nice little chocolate moose. 581 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.400 So we have a lot of creative ways that you can use that formulation. 582 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:37.920 Remember it's packed with powerful flavanols. And so maybe you know someone who has 583 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:43.119 ringing in the ears tonight, is they should be using coco h X those 584 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:47.280 powerful flavanols. Maybe you have someone who has problems when it comes to blood 585 00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:54.519 sugar balance. Coco HX has been shown to be very helpful in helping with 586 00:53:54.679 --> 00:54:01.159 insulin sensitivity. So if you have insulin resistance, for example, and your 587 00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:07.000 body isn't responding the way that you want it to. Whenever you eat you 588 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:12.159 get this rise in blood sugar and the insulin isn't coming up to match that, 589 00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:20.840 then taking coco x an excellent choice. It's powerful antioxidant and very clean 590 00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:22.920 source. By the way, because not all cocoa, I'm sure a lot 591 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.679 of you have heard you know, you gotta watch out for cocoa and cadmium 592 00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:30.440 exposure, so you don't have to worry about that. With invite help because 593 00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:36.679 remember our formulation is not sold as a food formulation where there's less regulation. 594 00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:43.440 Ours is a supplement and so our sourcing are tracking the way in which it's 595 00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:47.320 tested for heavy metals, any type of a contaminant. You know that when 596 00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:53.480 you're using coco X you're getting the purest form of cocoa extract that you can 597 00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:58.679 get your hands on. It's just it's such a great product. Great for 598 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.159 circulation, great for brain health. That's what's always fascinating is to see the 599 00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:09.320 multiple studies now that have come out showing the effectiveness of coco when it comes 600 00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:15.760 to memory and focus and blood pressure and blood sugar. So it's just a 601 00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:21.119 powerhouse. It's the best way to celebrate Valentine's Obviously you can use things like 602 00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:28.360 REDSHX or Purple's HX both are very good options as well.
