Get ready for tomorrow's Nutritional Science Today right here, right now. Hello,
and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific
director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning to everyone. I have many things
to cover with you today, including some new studies that I think impact all
of us. And I talk often on different podcasts that I do as well
on this show about the importance of being able to detoxify our bodies. There
are many things that are out of our control in our environment that can lead
to significant shifts in our health. And we know that air pollution is one
component to that. But we also know that the foods that we eat,
ultra process foods as an example, can certainly drive up a significant amount of
I always call it just toxic sludge. So we want to be able to
zero in on that. And we have many different formulations that are geared towards
cellular detoxification, including formulations such as the daily detox powder as an example,
as well as glued to HX. So I want to talk about some studies
that have come out recently because I do think that these should resonate with you
in the sense that when you go hmm, okay. So we know all
of these different facts. We know that as Americans, just as an example,
we know that this country consumes the highest amount of ultra processed foods compared
to any other country, and unfortunately, our bad habits have spread globally.
So you have all of these other countries where ultraprocessed food consumption was just not
a thing, and now you're starting to see an uptick in their intake of
ultra processed foods. And we clearly know that ultra processed foods are not nutrient
dense. So if you are listening and you know, yeah, you know
what I do, stop by those fast food establishments or I'm getting those meals
ready to go, you know, from the frozen food section at the grocery
store. Then maybe you really need to zero in on detoxification because we know
that those foods are first and foremost not providing us the new so at bare
minimum taking the core multi vitamin would be incredibly advantageous, but also to zero
in on nutrients that can help to facilitate proper detoxification each and every single day,
because remember, our bodies are well equipped to try and clean ourselves up,
and we go through these different phases of detoxification each day. And so
when we start to break down those different phases and you say, well,
wow, those are highly reliant on vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and if
we don't have an adequate supply of these key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants,
that our body is really going to struggle. So we see this time after
time, and there are so many clinical research studies out there now, folks,
that really show just how detrimental ultra processed foods are to the human body.
We know these things, but yet people continue to consume them. I
talk about a study that came out of Florida Atlantic University, which, by
the way, they're doing really good in basketball again this year. I tried
because they're just up the road for me. I'm down here in South Florida
and FAU is in Boca. So I was like, oh, you know,
I'm gonna go check out a basketball game because I love college basketball.
They're sold out and so I was like, really for the entire season,
So that's kind of crazy. But nonetheless, they did this really wonderful study
on ultra process food consumption and they estimated that close to seventy percent of caloric
intake by most Americans is coming from ultra process foods. And then they were
drawing that linkage to you know, fatty liver disease, the increase of fatty
liver disease in this country, so we can tie it to many different problems
obesity, diabetes, clearly, you know concerns. So we need to just
do better when it comes to the foods that we are selecting to eat every
single day. You know, adherence to a Mediterranean style way of eating is
really your best bet. But nonetheless, we see these studies that are really
starting to kind of pile up in a sense. And so this study just
came out this week out of University of Washington School of Medicine. So I
really want you to hear what the findings were in this study, because it
should be incredibly alarming to you because they're zeroing in on pregnant women. Okay,
so this is important, right. We want women who are carrying a
child to be as healthy as possible. This is kind of a given,
right. But University of Washington School of Medicine, they were looking at ultra
processed foods and flates that are actually contained in ultra process foods. And you
may say, well, what the heck is a thyalate? Well, these
are these chemicals when you think about BPA's and you know, most people now
are like, oh, I want to have you know, BPA free water
bottle for example. But we know that thealates are found in pretty much every
single consumer, not only packaging, but just products that people are using,
and you know, toys that kids play with, you name it. You
can find thealates and they're just this whole swath of different chemicals that the body
doesn't know what to do with them. And we can find detectable, very
high detectable levels of palates in the blood as well as in the urine.
So we know that as Americans, we're constantly inundated with these harmful chemicals.
Unfortunately, this is up to you know, legislators to make any type of
a difference in this. And while the science is out there and you can
see the harmful effects, whether you're looking at fertility issues and chemical exposures or
if you're looking at chronic disease states and tying that in with these chemical exposures,
we are not at a point yet in this country where folks are willing
to say, you know what, let's just ban that. So what we
need to do, as invite health radio listeners is we need to say,
let me be proactive in my own health and let me make sure that I'm
helping my body detoxify. So University of Washington School of Medicine, they looked
at how they lights this class of chemicals associated with plastics can actually shed from
the wrappings. And this isn't a new finding. I talked about a study
similar to this, probably eight years ago, and where they actually tested out
from different fast food establishments and they were looking at the amount of leeching out
of those chemicals into the actual food itself. So I mean, one part
is the food is not healthy, but then secondly, you have all this
leeching of these chemicals coming from the wrappers, so it's just adding insult to
injury. So what they said is pregnant women need to avoid avoid ultra processed
foods fast foods during pregnancy. And I was reading this study and I said,
Okay, well this makes sense, but the fact that they're just isolating
it out to just say pregnant women. It should be all humans, we
should all be avoiding this. Why do any of us want to, you
know, be cluttering up our bodies with these harmful, known chemicals. And
this was published in the Environmental International Journal, and they were looking at the
amount of leeching coming out from those wrappers and the different packaging materials that foods
are put into. They even looked at the plastic gloves that food handlers use
when preparing foods at fast food restaurants. So what the correlation was was they
started to test the serum blood levels of these chemicals in pregnant women, and
then they were looking at the correlation between autism and other mental development disorders in
infancy, so looking at newborns and then looking at their serum levels of those
harmful chemicals, and they could see that direct link they could see that when
moms are exposed to these chemicals that it crosses the placenta and actually makes its
way into fetal circulation. So it's an incredibly alarming study. It's not a
surprise to me to read this because I've been studying this for so many years.
Did my master's degree in public health, and when I took my environmental
health course, I was really just alarmed by how much is in our environment
that the public generally, for the most part, is not even aware of.
You know, clearly, we know that there are you know, heavy
metal exposures that we can all you know, get just from foods, you
know, just depending upon where foods are grown in this country or other countries
that are imported into the United States. And you know, it's your thing
about things like arsenic for example. So we know that these chemical exposures are
quite large, whether we're looking at thay lights and the different plastics. And
I talk often about nanoplastics and how they are found everywhere. I always say,
if you come down here to Florida and you want to take a nice
walk on the beach, there's the nerdles. So nerdles are these tiny,
little micro nanoplastics. You can't see them. They're the size of a piece
of sand, but yet they can absorb into the skin and make their way
into the bloodstream. So knowing all these things, we have to say,
well, what can we do better? So this is when we look at
formulations such as greens achex. Greens ahex is such a powerhouse, and when
Jerry Hicky formulated that so many years ago, he really hit the nail on
the head because not only did he combine close to forty fruit and vegetable extracts
in this wonderful herbal blend, he also put in probiotic so to enhance the
immune system and to support the microbial environment to once again help to facilitate better
detoxification. So it's just it's hands down, just a wonderful way to every
day help your body go through that cleansing process. So you look at greens
Achex with all of its powerful nutrients and that wonderful probiotic blend. And then
this piggybacks off of a new study that just came out showing that certain strains
of bacteria, healthy bacteria, can actually help the body remove nanoplastics. So
maybe you're sitting here listening and you're going, oh, my goodness, for
the past decade. Yeah, I'm a frequent flyer of the old fast food
joints. This is not good. But don't worry, because what you can
do is you can take that greens ahex every day, take one scoop of
greens achex. If you want to take two scoops, that's fine too,
but you want to take that on a consistent regular basis so that your liver
is getting this wonderful exposure to those key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and
of course those powerful herbs that can help your little tiny liver cells those patosites
in being able to remove harmful toxins, including looking at things like BPA and
thy lates, those nanoplastics. So I really dove into this this week and
was looking at the identifiable strains of bacteria that have been shown to really have
a powerful effect on the removal of those nanoplastics from the human body. So
I want to mention a couple of those, letting you know that if you
were using the greens HX, you're getting really wonderful coverage. If you use
the probiotic women formulation which men can use to also going to get wonderful exposure
to these known healthy bacteria to help remove plastics out of the system, as
well as the probiotic HX. So I do need to squeeze in a quick
break, but when I come back, I'm going to tell you about those
different probiotics and why it would be incredibly advantageous for you to make sure that
you are including a good, powerful probiotic into your daily routine to get rid
of all of those nanoplastics. So I will be right back just after this.

and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific
director at Invite Health. Remember our stores are open seven days week, so
you can pop on in. You can get that greens HX. Of course
we have glued to HX, the daily detox powder. We have so many
different formulations that can really help the body when it comes to targeting all of
the sludge that we pick up along the way. So talking about the different
strains of bacteria that have been shown to help the body with that removal of
those nanoplastics, it really was interesting to me the power of healthy lacto bacilli
strains, So the absorption capacity of particular strains of lacto bacillis have been shown
to be highly effective in being able to kind of bind on to those nanoplastics
that we pick up from all different consumer products out there, and food wrappers
and what you store your foods in, you know, things that you're touching
throughout the day that leach out. I mean, there's a lot of things
that we just don't think about as to where we can get these common chemical
exposures from. So Lacto bacillis just the general family does a wonderful job,
which is why I mentioned the probiotic women because that's four different strains of powerful
lacto bacilli, So we know it's wonderful for helping with the normal floral environment
for the vaginal tract as well as for men. You know, when you
think about the eurogenital health and the microbiome, it's very important, you know,
to maintain healthy microbes so that we are not you know, falling victim
to a urinary tract infection or for men, prostatitis. Prostatitis becomes a much
more prevalent condition that men deal with as they get older, partly because of
the natural enlarging of the prostate. And it really just comes down to an
anatomy issue. You know, the human body is designed in its own unique
way, but just the anatomy of where the prostate is located, in the
way that the urethra runs through there. That is, you know, a
area of concern. So for men, you know, taking the Probiotic Women,
you can definitely do that. And it also has that wonderful blend of
garlic and time extracts, so once again powerful antioxidants and they help to ease
inflammation. So looking at the different studies and the different bacterial strains, I
started to, you know, kind of dive into many of our products,
and Probiotic Women is one of those. But also Probiotic h X, which
has the Lactobacillis ramnosis and it has Lactobacillis plantarum, and Lactobacilis plantarum in particular
was really one of those bacterial strains that they showed to be highly effective at
targeting those nanoplastics. So if you're listening and you say, hmm, I
don't take a probiotic right now, then perhaps go to our website Invite health
dot com, or stop by a store and get yourself your Probiotic HX,
or if you do have some concerns with urinary health, get that Probiotic Women
formulation, and as I mentioned, men can definitely take that. So I
really enjoy kind of jumping into to some of these different studies and really understanding,
you know, how it is that the human body does its best to
combat all of the things that we come across, but how easy it is
for us to get that upper hand and to really combat a lot of these
things just through dietary supplementation, making some small modifications obviously in your dietary intake
first and foremost. You know, ultra process foods, folks, we just
need to avoid them. You know. I used to do a regular check
in with a cardiologist on one of the programs that I did, and he
not only is an interventional cardiologist, he's also an executive chef. So he's
very unique in his own right. And we used to talk about this on
a regular basis, like why are we still consuming ultra process foods in this
country? I mean, we know, we know the harmful effects of those
foods. We I know that we are not just dealing with the lack of
nutrients in those foods, but we're also now dealing with all of the chemicals.
And I said, this isn't new news, this is information that we've
known for years and years. As I mentioned, they did a study about
eight years ago on the amount of plates that were found in food packaging and
food wrappers. So it's just it's really it's shameful. It's the best thing
that you can do, but yeah, it's just been linked to so many
things. Increase risk of you know, certain types of cancers, clearly breast
cancer, prostate cancers, increase risk in diabetes. We've clearly seen the links
between you know, low birth weight babies, as well as autism, a
lot of concerns obesity. There's a study on obesity and the linkage in men
in particular to the exposure to these common chemicals found in plastics that are everywhere
in our environment, so you know, fibroids they've linked to this, to
to thylate exposure. Obviously I had mentioned, you know, fertility issues.
So it's just we just have to do better. But we can help you
out and invite health. So we have all these wonderful, powerful formulations,
including glue to HX. Glue to HX is one of those formulations that I
think is just fabulous just in terms of its its main reason as to why
you would want to be supplementing with this formulation. It's a powder, so
it's very easy to take, you know, one scoop a day. It
is loaded down with very wonderful nutrients, including dimethyl glycine, and we know
the importance of DMG when it comes to our overall health. Dimethyl Glycine is
is quite critical to not only allowing the body to produce additional glue to thione.
Glue to thione is kind of our master antioxidant in the body, So
dimethyl glycine is a precursor in the body to making glue to thione to help
the liver clean itself up. But in this formulation you have dimethyl glycine along
with spinach extract, there is parsley. So it's really wonderful for fluid balance.
So for folks who you know, maybe have some yeah, some heart
issues and maybe that pumping mechanism isn't quite up to snuff, then we ideally
want to make sure that we're taking nutrients that help our circulatory system when it
comes to proper fluid balance. So I have found that many individuals who you
know, maybe they started taking glue to HX because they went in and they
found out that they have, you know, the beginnings of non alcoholic fatty
liver diacy. They wanted to take a very powerful formulation to support liver detoxification
and in doing so they're like, wow, you know, I used to
have some mild swelling in my ankles. Now that I'm using this formulation,
that seems to have gone away. Well it makes sense because of that Parsley
extract. It really does a wonderful job. Same thing with the spinach extract.
But we can see a linkage between low levels of dimethyl glycine in the
human body along with the development of diabetes. This was a very fascinating study
that was conducted in coordination with Harvard along with some research universities over in Sweden,
and was published in the Diabetes Journal close to a decade ago now,
back in twenty fifteen, where they tested out the serum blood levels of dimethyl
glycine and then they looked at a direct causal link between the low DMG and
the development of type two diabetes. So we know the facts on this.
We understand that dimethyl glycine is naturally occurring in the body and as we grow
older, the normal manufacturing of that begins to diminish, and we have to
have dimethyl glycine for so many different functions. It's responsible for all of the
cellular functions that are occurring. And there's over forty different chemical processes or biochemical
processes that occur each day in the human body that are reliant on dimethyl glycine.
So when you think about brain function, for example, dimethyl glycine plays
a role in this. So if you have concerns with memory, then we
should say, well, maybe I need to re establish my dimethyl glycine levels.
So taking that glue to HX each day, I may be thinking about
that in that setting of liver health and detoxification, but this is actually a
powerhouse when it comes to immune health as well as brain health, circulatory health
in general. At the same time, we're getting that wonderful effect of making
additional glue to thione. So you just can't really beat that. Another formulation
that you can turn to when thinking about ultra process foods. First and foremost,
try to stop eating ultra process foods. I oftentimes laugh and say,
you know, I used to always think, oh, I'm so healthy,
and I was not. I was not healthy at all. You know,
I look back when I was in medical school, I had just a horrific
diet and I thought it was healthy because I wasn't, you know, going
out getting fast foods. So I was like, no, I eat pretty
healthy, but I really wasn't. And it wasn't until you know, I
really started to understand how the body absorbs nutrients and uses those nutrients for daily
function that I myself made this shift over to adhering completely to a Mediterranean style
way of eating. Now, in doing that, I found some really wonderful
effects for myself. Number One, it gave me really good energy. And
I always thought I have good energy. I'm kind of more Jerry Hickey and
I both are kind of wired the same, We're both a little bit on
the hyper side. But once I changed my diet, I was like,
oh my gosh, like I feel great all day long. So I didn't
realize how much the foods were weighing me down. But then I also recognized,
like, oh gosh, if these foods were actually weighing me down so
much, what's the residual effect. So this is when I really started to
make sure I was taking nutrients to help my body remove any of those harmful
substances that I had been exposed to. So you know, paying attention to
daily detoxication to me is very important. Looking at formulations such as the Performance
Multivitamin is another excellent way for us to get wonderful coverage of those mineral envitamin
deficiencies that perhaps we may be getting from our dietary intake. That the foods
are just not as nutrient dense as they once used to be, so we
want to get coverage on that front. We know that we're supplementing with the
Performance Multivitamin. Not only do we get those bioactive B vitamins to help with
energy for red blood cell production, for the ability for the liver once again
to properly detoxify. That is really key. We understand that the liver is
relying on those B vitamins on folate on B twelve, very important that we
have adequate amounts of those in order for the liver to properly detoxify. We
also know that B vitamins are key for our immune system. So the Performance
Multivitamin is giving you those bioactive bees along with natural vitamin E, but then
it also has sood superoxide dismutastes along with having rodeola extract. So I'll talk
briefly about those and why those are beneficial when it comes to sell energy,
when it comes to heart function, when it comes to brain function, when
it comes to your metabolism in general, on the flip side of this break,
So stick around with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio,
and I will be right back. Maintain muscle mass and fuel your body with

invite Health dot com and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor
Amanda Williams, scientific director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning. If you
are just now joining in talking about the Performance multivitamin. This has been our
most popular multi vitamin that we offer for so many years and across the board
as far as who has used this formulation and continues to use this. You
know, we have professional athletes who have been using our Performance multivitamin because it
helps them with energy production as well as muscle recovery. Obviously, this is
the number one multivitamin in our product line that I turn to for folks who
have any type of heart concerns or anyone who has metabolism concerns. So what
am I actually saying If you are a pre diabetic, if you have high
blood pressure, if you are a type two diabetic, this should be the
multivitamin that you select. Because we know many things about individuals who have pre
diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or type two diabetes. First, we know that
their energy levels are generally in the dumps. Why, because your mitochondria,
the inner core of your cell, it loses the ability to properly function,
because just think about that, like all that sugar is just kind of clumping
up on the cell surface, and so it runs your cells down, so
they just become very lethargic. So if you start supplementing with the Performance multivitamin,
not only are you getting in this powerhouse of those B vitamins and all
those keylated minerals so they make their way through the digestive track without being broken
down in the stomach acids for example. So you get all of those,
but you're also getting Rodeola extract. And we know that Rodeola extract is an
adrenal adaptogenic herb, and it has been shown to be incredibly beneficial for not
only helping the body to offset the negative effects of stress, and we know
a lot of folks have stress, but it also can help generate energy,
which makes it really unique. And what I love about Rodeola extract is that
it works really quickly. It's not one of those supplements where you're like,
well, I got to take this for the next two months before I notice
the difference, and not that there's anything wrong. If it's a formulation that's
like that, because sometimes we have to build up this steady state of a
particular nutrient in order for the body to really start to properly utilize that,
which is why being regular with your supplementation routine is key. I have folks
all the time that are like, well, I tried that. I tried
it, you know, for two days, and that didn't work. It's
like, well, this is you know, the clinical studies show you have
to be on it for at least eight weeks for you to really start to
see those potential benefits. But this is not the case with rodeola. Rodeola
you see those effects instantaneous, which is a wonderful thing. So you're taking
this multi item in every day, the performance multi item, and you're getting
all those powerful vitamins and minerals, and you are getting Rodeola extract, which
is great for athletes, but it's also great for folks who have a sluggish
thyroid. We know that rodeola really can benefit the metabolism. We know that's
gonna give us this nice sense of well being and help to encourage better sell
energy production. And then this is partnered with superoxide dismutases, so SOD is
one of our natural occurring antioxidants in the body. Once again, we know
that as we get older, those levels begin to diminish. Well, that's
a problem for a few different reasons. Once again, not enough SOD means
we don't have enough of this powerful antioxidant to protect our blood vessels, and
that's very critical. So we have seen studies where they actually show that low
levels of superoxide disputat have a direct link to an increase thickening of the carotid
artery. That's alarming, that's incredibly alarming. This is a study back in
two thousand and nine and it was published in the Diabetes Research Journal, So
they were looking at diabetics and so we already know remember diabetics, if you
have load dmg dimethyl glycine, that makes you prone to worsening of diabetes.
And if you are not a diabetic and you have load dimethyl glycine levels,
that makes you more likely to develop diabetes. So now we're looking at this
SOD study, so we're dealing with two naturally occurring antioxidants in the body,
and if you have low blood levels of super oxide dismutase, there was a
direct correlation between the carotid artery becoming thick well, that's a big problem.
If we have a thick carotid artery, that means we're not getting proper blood
flow and oxygen to our noggin. And if our brain is not getting proper
blood flow and oxygen, we're going to feel the effects of that. So
this is why the performance multivitamin. I always categorize this as being like the
the ideal formulation for anyone with heart disease, anyone who has diabetes, anyone
who has concerns with heart health or metabolic health. And it's just it's such
a wonderful formula. This is I can go on and on about the Performance
multipim but I'll leave it at the aut I have other things that I want
to cover. So these are just areas that we we have to always think
about. We know that as we grow older, certain things become less efficient.
We see it with coenzyme Q ten production just as an example. You
know, as we get older, our body makes less and less co q
ten, so we need coq ten. It's the primary fuel for our cell
energy. This is why supplementation with ubiquinol is so key. And I always
say, when you look at a basic supplementation routine, regardless of your age,
everyone should be supplementing with coen enzyme q ten. It's very important.
So we have our ubiquenol sixty milligram is on a special right now, so
take advantage of that. Remember we use the Konica form. That's the form
of coenzyme q ten that is the most well regarded in terms of the clinical
research. That evidence based of how the body actually absorbs that form of coenzyme
q ten. It gets into the system, and you know, if you
can always go in and have your blood level tested, Folks, you can
go have a co Q ten level tested, and then you start supplementing with
the invite hew ubiquenol and go in even a month later, you're going to
see that that coenzyme q ten level is going to start to build back up,
which is a wonderful thing for you because we know co Q ten is
a antioxidant for the body, but it's also key for our energy production.
So now I want to talk about another interesting study. Nac n acetylsysteine.
This is one of those nutrients once again that has so many utilizations. You
know, once again it's a precursor to making glutathione in the body, which
is key. We need to have as much glue to thione as we possibly
can to keep that liver nice and happy. But we also know NAC has
been you know, studied in a variety of different ways. I mean,
back in the nineteen forties, it was predominantly looked at as a mucolytic drug
and it's still to this day is prescribed by pullmonologists for individuals who have pulmonary
fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, different respiratory issues where there's a thickening of the mucous
membrane. We know that NAC naturally helps to thin that mucus. So in
the nineteen forties this is the way that ncetyl systeine was looked at. Remember
this is occurring in the body, but if we don't have enough of it,
then you know, supplementation is certainly important. We have seen the studies
I've talked about the study on post heart attack with NAC, and they found
that when individuals who had a heart attack, and you have a certain area
of the heart, the heart muscle where it actually dies off, it's damage
significantly from having a myocardial infarction, that when they gave those individuals NAC right
away that it actually allowed that heart muscle to stay viable, to stay alive,
so that damage was not as impressionable as it would have been without NAC.
So that's just such a fascinating study. I mean, that just tells
you the power of these different nutrients. And I mean clearly we can see
the benefits of NAC for respiratory health. To really understand like, wow,
you can use NAC to help repair a damaged heart muscle, Like that's incredibly
impressive. So now here's a brand new study that came out in the Pain
Management Journal. So the Pain Management Journal, they reported the findings from the
Medical University of South Carolina where they were giving NAC. Now this was IV
NAC or a placebo during surgery. And now remember NAC is really important folks.
If you do ever have to go in and have any type of surgical
procedure done where you're going under anesthesia. If you've reached out to Jerry Hickey
in the past, if you've reached out to me and you say, hey,
I have to go in and you know having this you know, minor
operation done, what should I do? You know, leading into the surgery?
What should I do postop? You know what nutrients do I have to
stop taking before surgery? We get these questions all the time, but both
Jerry and I will always say, start taking that NAC. You need to
be taking at minimum twelve hundred milligrams of anecetyl system for a good three or
four days before you go in to go under anesthesia, and then after so
postop, you want to be taking three caps of our NAC. So that's
eighteen hundred milligrams. So that's fine even if you want to bump that up
to twenty four hundred, if you want to do two caps twice a day.
Perfect. So you want to be taking that NAC for at least ten
days after going under anesthesia because it'll help the body remove that anesthesia. Because
a lot of times people they'll go under, you know, for maybe a
simple procedure, they come out of surgery and they're like, I don't feel
right, like in my brain. So and we know that this becomes worse
as we get older. Why because once again the liver is struggling with proper
detoxification. So taking NAC pre op and post op very very important. So
now back to the study. So University of South Carolina pain Management. So
this is an interesting little spin on this. They were looking at if they
gave individuals who went in and had surgery an acetyl system within two days following
the surgery, if this would help lower their pain scores, and what they
found was incredibly impressive. They found that the impact of NAC allowed not only
for the repair time to increase, so post surgery repair wound healing, because
think about it, we're using an anti accident, right, but also the
perception of pain. They're like, yeah, I don't have I'm not that
much pain compared to the placebo group who was And remember pain is subjective.
But this is a really incredibly impressive study showing that something as simple as anecetyl
system can pack such a powerful punch. Remember, NAC has been shown to
do so many wonderful things. You know, when you look at it as
an antioxidant, when you look at it as a mucolytic, you know,
to thin out that mucous membrane when you look at it, to protect the
mitochondria from damage being done from external forces, those free radicals. When you
see how it works to target different viruses and bacterias, it's been shown to
be highly effective against things such as influenza and H. Pylori infection, and
H Pylori folks, you don't ever want to mess around with that. Other
study just came out drawing that link between H. Pylori infection, which attacks
the stomach, and the direct link to Parkinson's disease. So if you find
that you're very gassy a lot of belching, don't just chalk that up as
normal as bad diet. Go and get tested make sure you don't have H.
Pylori. But we know all of the wonderful things that NAC can do.
So I take NAC on a regular basis. It's one of those nutrients
where I think, even if you're not taking it every single day, if
you add in a capsule two capsules a few times out of the week,
you are doing so much benefit for cellular detoxification and overall cellular protection. So
definitely check out the NAC. I do need to squeeze in one more break,
so stick around with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio and

Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, So just listening to that last little
ad on the immunity multivitamin. Just as a side note, folks, that
immunity multivitamin that is on a special and the memory multivitamin, the memory multivitamin
is twenty four to ninety five. Maybe you're feeling that mid February brain fog.
You're just kind of over those thirty five forty degree cloudy gray days,
and you're like, oh gosh, I just don't feel focused, I don't
feel the attention. My brain just feels tired. Get that memory multivitamin.
I can't speak enough about the benefits of that multivitamin. It's the core multivitamins.
You get all those powerful vitamins and minerals in that form relation. And
then it's partnered up with ginko bloba and it has CDP coalings that key fat
to help with the neuron structure. You don't want your brain cells getting dinged
up or dented up. I always say it's not ideal. I always say
if you have like two different lines. You know, you have the skinny
brain line and the fat brain line. You want to sign up to be
in the fat brain line. You don't want to have a shrinking brain,
So that CDP coaling is very beneficial for maintaining that brain volume. And then
you have the ginko which helps to fight off neurotoxicity from all the things that
we're exposed to air pollution, for example, And we know that ginko is
wonderful for maintaining the proper vascular blood flow. It's very protective to those tiny
little capillaries and the nerves that run in through the brain. So taking the
memory multivitamin it's not only beneficial for encouraging better memory, but in particular if
you do feel like you have brain fog or you just struggle with focus and
attention, this is definitely a go to comprehensive daily multivitamin multimineral enhanced with those
nutrients to help power up the brain. Remember, it also has that low
dose lithium that's a key trace mineral. That trace mineral helps with the removal
of toxic sludge. Once again that can build up and generate neuroinflammation, so
brain inflammation and brain toxicity. So I think most folks probably look and go,
yeah, I don't want to have it inflamed brain and I don't want
to have a toxic brain. So turn to the memory multivitam in twenty four
to ninety five right now. It's an excellent, excellent on that particular product.
So I didn't mention that this is Super Bowl weekend. I didn't get
into my sports with everybody today. And yes, it's the big Game tomorrow.
I'm sure everyone will be watching. I of course will be watching.
I like to watch the commercials. I usually get a kick out of at
least a few of them. I don't have to express my saddened way that
the Lions lost the forty nine ers that I was really hoping. I would
be really upbeat today knowing that the Lions would be playing in the super Bowl
tomorrow. But that's not the case. But that's okay. There is next
year. We still had an excellent season. So but I know a lot
of folks will be watching the game, probably snacking on foods that are not
the healthiest, maybe partaking in some of those adult beverages. So if that
sounds like you, make sure that today you prepare yourself by going and getting
your NAC. Remember, NAC is a wonderful supplement to be taking if you
are going to be partaking in those adult beverages. Really can help with the
libertytoxification. You know, It's it's a complex series that happens if you consume
alcohol. There's different enzymes that get activated, and so you have you know,
alcohol dehydrogenase, and then you have a setyl eldehyde that can actually build
up. So when people say that they have like a hangover, what that's
due to is this byproduct that occurs because of the way that the alcohol is
being broken down in the liver, So you get a settle eldehyde build up
and that just kind of clouds up the brain. So if we want to
try to avoid that, taking an acetyl cystein is a very good thing to
consider. If you're going to to be partaking in those bad foods, for
example, those ultra process foods, and maybe you tell yourself that's just one
day, that's fine, but make sure you take your greens achex or that
glue to HX. Very important to support that detoxification because we know certain facts.
We know we have a lot of chemical exposures, Like if I could
just go around and you know, take urine samples from every single person in
this country, or let's just say in New York, we're gonna see high
levels of those stalates, and we want to minimize those exposures. Remember your
probiotics, those lack of bacilla strains in particular, very beneficial. So if
you're taking probiotic HX or the probiotic women. Of course, greens Achax is
a wonderful blend of probiotic in that as well. So these are all things
that we want to think about. But memory multivitamin that's on special. I'm
super excited for you on that one, uh, Valentine's Day, that's right
around the corner. And I always say during this, you know, very
special holiday that give the gift of health. You know, people are used
to paying for overpriced roses. And I say that because when I was in
high school, I worked at a floorist and I loved it. But my
job was, you know, all the flowers would come in off the truck
and I was the one responsible for cleaning all of them, you know,
removing all of the thorns. So I'd leave and I'd hit my hands would
be all cut up. But always at Valentine's Day there was the big price
increase in the roses. So oftentimes people want, you know, to give
chocolates and give roses, but give the gift of health. There's nothing more
lovely to give out on Valentine's Day than something like the cocos HX. And
you can do so many wonderful things with HX. You can make little fun
macaroons, you can make a lovely, tasty, little hot cocoa. You
can add it in with some yogurt and make a nice little chocolate moose.
So we have a lot of creative ways that you can use that formulation.
Remember it's packed with powerful flavanols. And so maybe you know someone who has
ringing in the ears tonight, is they should be using coco h X those
powerful flavanols. Maybe you have someone who has problems when it comes to blood
sugar balance. Coco HX has been shown to be very helpful in helping with
insulin sensitivity. So if you have insulin resistance, for example, and your
body isn't responding the way that you want it to. Whenever you eat you
get this rise in blood sugar and the insulin isn't coming up to match that,
then taking coco x an excellent choice. It's powerful antioxidant and very clean
source. By the way, because not all cocoa, I'm sure a lot
of you have heard you know, you gotta watch out for cocoa and cadmium
exposure, so you don't have to worry about that. With invite help because
remember our formulation is not sold as a food formulation where there's less regulation.
Ours is a supplement and so our sourcing are tracking the way in which it's
tested for heavy metals, any type of a contaminant. You know that when
you're using coco X you're getting the purest form of cocoa extract that you can
get your hands on. It's just it's such a great product. Great for
circulation, great for brain health. That's what's always fascinating is to see the
multiple studies now that have come out showing the effectiveness of coco when it comes
to memory and focus and blood pressure and blood sugar. So it's just a
powerhouse. It's the best way to celebrate Valentine's Obviously you can use things like
REDSHX or Purple's HX both are very good options as well. But if you
want to give out a sweet treat for Valentine's Day, we definitely have you
covered. Remember we have our nutritional experts. They are available for you to
