You can go to the website and you 24 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:56.280 can actually schedule a phone call so you don't have to wait to hear from 25 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.519 someone. You can actually pick a day in time that works well for your 26 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.120 schedule and one of our nutritionists will reach out to you and give you that 27 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.080 guidance that you're looking for when it comes to whatever health topic. Maybe you're 28 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.400 trying to figure out what foods you should eat or perhaps which supplements you should 29 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.719 include. So we still have our wonderful service that we offer for free, 30 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.800 and that is to talk to one of our nutrition experts to do take advantage 31 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.680 of that, and of course stick around to all of the latest things as 32 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.680 we are making this transition into our twenty fifth year. As you know, 33 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.840 today is Saturday, and I am a huge college football fan, So the 34 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.680 Wolverines, the Michigan Wolverines are kicking off their Big ten home openers, so 35 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.599 you know I will be glued to the screen all day today watching all of 36 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.439 the football action. But I do need to to get going with today show 37 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.479 and really zero in on some nutrients that are beneficial for your health, because 38 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.599 at the end of the day, that is what is most important to us 39 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.919 at Invite. Hell. I've been doing this for many many years now, 40 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.479 not to date myself, but I've been doing this for a long time, 41 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.280 and the one thing that always stands out to me is how unique each and 42 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.000 every single one of us are. And yes, I maybe work with someone 43 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.159 who has diabetes and then I work with another diabetic, but their concerns or 44 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.960 their needs can really vary. And it's the same thing when we think about 45 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.919 joint health. So I want to really dive into this today and talk about 46 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.199 these different formulations. One in particular that I'm going to start off with is 47 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.719 our flex HX. This product is kind of one of those go to comprehensive 48 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:45.199 formulations that when I'm working with someone, I oftentimes will say, well, 49 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.919 let's add the flex HX into your routine, and they say, well, 50 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.639 you know, shouldn't I do collagen or biokirkumen. And of course those are 51 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.560 good, very good options, and the science behind those definitely relevant. And 52 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.479 we know we need collagen. Know that once we hit fifty years old, 53 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.039 we've lost about fifty percent of our natural collagen, So of course we need 54 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:11.080 to put collagen in. But what's unique about flex HX is this contains collagen, 55 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.919 so it's a comprehensive, blended formulation. So you're getting collagen, you 56 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.360 get bromelane, which is from the stem of the pineapple. And the reason 57 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:25.680 why that's so helpful when it comes to your joint pain and inflammation. I 58 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.360 always describe bromelane as like pac Man. You know, people can go back 59 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.199 to the Arcade games and think about pac Man, how it goes through and 60 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.399 gobbles up all the little dots. Well, this is how I look at 61 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:43.079 bromelane is it's a proteolytic enzyme and it has this really finite ability to go 62 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:50.720 into our body and find the even the most obscure amounts of inflammation, which 63 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:58.160 when we're thinking about joint inflammation, we know that there are certain areas, 64 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.079 little nooks and crannies your joints that are inflamed that are creating a lot of 65 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:09.600 pain for you. So having bromelaine in this formulation is definitely very helpful. 66 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.879 Before we had this product bromelaine as a standalone, we have a formulation that 67 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.000 just contains bromlane. I turned to this a lot. I advise brom lane 68 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.720 for a whole slew of different things. You can use it for digestive health. 69 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.759 You'll say, if you have a heavy meal, you feel like it's 70 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.920 not you know, breaking down well enough, take some bromelaine by all means. 71 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.639 I always say bromlane is one of those products you should always just have 72 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.199 a bottle. You know, if maybe you step off the sidewalk a little 73 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:44.240 wonky and you get a little sprained ankle, twist your your ankle a little 74 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.639 bit, Bromelaine excellent. Maybe you go in for dental work, you come 75 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:56.480 home and you're a little sore. Bromelane. It is absolutely a fabulous supplement. 76 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.800 So I always say it's a go to. You should have it on 77 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.399 your shelf even if you're not using it every day. But what's nice is 78 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:09.800 the flex HX contains bromelaine in it along with drum roll, our key component 79 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.399 to joint health collagen. So it has the hydrolyzed collagen peptides in this and 80 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:21.160 a good amount a substantial amount. You're getting five grams, which is five 81 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:30.839 thousand milligrams of hydrolyzed collagen. We know we need to have that collagen in 82 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.079 order to replenish and restore all of the collagen that's been lost through the years. 83 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:42.120 This is also partnered up with kendrouton. Now many people have heard about 84 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.160 kendrouten and glucosmine and kendraten. Well, there's a reason why. Mean, 85 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:54.800 Glucosemine is a natural compound that's found in our cartilage and especially when we look 86 00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:03.399 at the fluid around the joints. So taking glucosamine or kendriten as a supplement 87 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.240 would be incredibly advantageous. It kind of makes the same sense as taking collagen. 88 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:14.000 We know that we lose glucosamine and condriten as we get older, and 89 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.519 we know that if we use it as a supplement to put it back in 90 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.839 to replenish it. We can get an awful lot of support from that. 91 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:26.800 So we know that kendroiton is this major major component of your cartilage and it 92 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.639 helps to retain water, so it helps to retain that fluidity. And this 93 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.160 is important because you think about the gel like cushioning not just in your knees, 94 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.040 I mean think about in your back. A lot of people end up 95 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.959 with arthritis in their back the lower lumbar area. Well, it makes sense 96 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.199 think about it. We're stomping around this earth, you know from the time 97 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.160 that we can walk, and think about all of that pressure, that compression 98 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:56.199 that's occurring within your vertebrae, within the spine. So when we lose some 99 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.319 of that fluidity, that gel like cushioning, that can be a big problem. 100 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:05.199 This is where you're condroiting comes into play. Now, having a formulation 101 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:13.519 like flex HX that combines your hydrolyzed collagen, so we know, being that 102 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.199 it's in that hydrolyzed form, we're gonna get wonderful uptake into the system. 103 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.680 And keep in mind too, this is really good for your hair and for 104 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.160 your skin, for your blood vessels because it's collagen, right. Collagen is 105 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.480 the most abundant protein in the human body, so replenishing it is quite critical. 106 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.440 So we've got the condroitin, We've got our bromelaine. The brom laine's 107 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.720 working like pac man, going through and eating up that inflammation. And then 108 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:46.200 we have manganese and we have copper in this. And many times when we 109 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.720 think about joint health, we don't think about how our minerals impact the health 110 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.360 of our joints. Certainly we think about it with bone health. We recognize, 111 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.120 yeah, we need to have you know, boron magnesium, calcium obviously 112 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.879 for our bones. But when it comes to your joints, manganese is really 113 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.919 very important. Now not just the fact that it's a mineral, but it 114 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:20.200 actually participates as an action in the body as an antioxidant and it helps the 115 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.919 body create superoxide disney taste, an SOD. I've talked about this in the 116 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.919 past, how important SD is just for your cardiovascular system, making sure that 117 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.799 our blood vessels aren't getting all clogged up. So manganese is required for many 118 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.440 different activities in the body. We look at just our overall metabolism every single 119 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.600 day. Like I said, a lot of times we focus on magnesium and 120 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.679 we know the importance of magnesium, but manganese is very essential as well. 121 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.799 So when we look at cholesterol management body, we look at our glucose, 122 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.600 our blood sugar control, manganese has a role into this. Now, if 123 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:18.159 we have inadequate manganese in our system, this can actually result in problems with 124 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.399 our cartilage and with our bones. So we know that manganese when we partner 125 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.960 this up with our collagen, this is very important. I mean, when 126 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.600 you think about having a wound for example, in order for our body to 127 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:37.200 heal itself, we have to have an increase in collagen and this is supported 128 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.919 with vitamin C and proline and lysing, but also manganese. This is really 129 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:52.799 very important. So when we supplement with manganese, this helps that need that 130 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.600 is occurring within your joints where maybe you have this loss of collagen, loss 131 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:05.320 of cartilage. So we're once again replenishing this back into the system, which 132 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:11.480 is very critical when we think about long term health of our joints. And 133 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.559 then we think about copper in this same setting and understanding that through the activation 134 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:26.360 of copper and manganese we can really get a significant amount of targeted you know, 135 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:33.399 anti inflammatory action as well as antioxidant action. People have probably seen the 136 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:39.679 copper compression things that people were like for their knees, you know, and 137 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.200 it has the copper in it. Well, there's a reason why copper is 138 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.080 looked at in this light because we recognize that copper is needed for energy production 139 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:54.120 in the body for connective tissue formation. So when we have joint inflammation, 140 00:11:54.799 --> 00:12:01.840 utilizing copper internally in the supplementation like flex HX provides, we're getting this help. 141 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.240 We're getting this activation of energy within the joint space. We're helping to 142 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:15.039 support the collagen and the elastin which helps circulation as well. So it's a 143 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.399 very comprehensive formulation when we really start to break down what is in flex HX. 144 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.120 And this is why oftentimes it's one of the number one products that I 145 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.960 will turn to and someone says, you know, over the past, you 146 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.360 know, six months, my knee has really been bothering me. What should 147 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.159 I be doing? So I'll say, well, you know what, let's 148 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.639 let's look at flex HX because I know that we're getting this targeted approach. 149 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.720 I know that we're replenishing some of those key minerals that are potentially low, 150 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.720 so that copper and the manganese, we're getting the collagen which we know has 151 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.080 just been you know, wasting away since we hit about thirty years old. 152 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.480 It keeps, you know, going out the door. That's what happens with 153 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.720 your collagen. And then we get our condroitent and we know that that also 154 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.399 begins to diminish as we age. So this combination, along with that brommelin 155 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:13.480 coming from the stem of the pineapple to eat up all that inflammation makes this 156 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.759 a really great nutritional support formulation for your joints. So what I'm gonna do, 157 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.799 I'm and take a quick break. When I get back from that break, 158 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.000 I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the science behind these 159 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.960 nutrients. Then I want to talk about cartilage AHAX. This is another really 160 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.399 fascinating product, and the science and the research behind this dates back quite a 161 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.720 few decades now, and I want to talk about how they initially found out 162 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.759 about this and where we've gone to today with using this as a nutritional supplement. 163 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.600 So we will be right back just after this.

I 177 00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.799 am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at invite Health. We are talking about 178 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.320 the Flex HX formulation. We know a lot of people are dealing with joint 179 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.639 pain, joint inflammation that can become incredibly debilitating. So when you're using the 180 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:16.039 flex, you're getting that hydrolyzed collagen, you get the bromelaine for the inflammation, 181 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.559 We're getting the kendriten to replenish and support the cartilage within the joint space. 182 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.879 And we get those two key minerals. We're getting that copper and that 183 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.240 manganese. It's a really nice way to address any issues that may be occurring 184 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.879 with you in your joints. I wanted to talk a little bit about kendriten 185 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:43.720 because scientific research is always advancing, and this is what makes it incredibly fascinating. 186 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.279 But one of the things that we have learned through the years is that 187 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.679 glucosamine and kendriten go far outside of just that of joint support. And in 188 00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.399 the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition over a decade ago, they actually revealed their 189 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:08.120 findings from a major public health research study that had been conducted out of University 190 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:15.039 of Washington, and they did this in combination with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research 191 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:21.879 Center, and they were looking at the data from close to eighty thousand men 192 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.200 and women between the ages of fifty and seventy six years old. And what 193 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:32.080 they did is they followed these folks over the course of ten years and they 194 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.480 had them fill out these different questionnaire forms. What's your diet like, do 195 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.120 you take any vitamins? All of these different fun facts. Well, what 196 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.679 was really interesting was at the end of this study they started to see this 197 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:55.399 trend that people who supplemented with glucoseman and kendraiton had a significant lower rate of 198 00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:00.279 mortality. And I think that this is a relevant thing to talk about because 199 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.039 we have to say, what is it. You know, it's not because 200 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.400 they have better joints, right that they're living longer because they have better joints. 201 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.400 There must be something else to this. And what they found was that 202 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:19.079 the glucosamine and kendraten directly inhibit a major pathway of inflammation in the body known 203 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:26.000 as NF cappa beta. And with the use of things like kendraiten that you're 204 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.440 getting the flex HX, they were able to see that these anti inflammatory properties 205 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:38.759 that both glucosmine as well as kendraiten have that this was far outreaching that of 206 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:44.119 just targeting the joints. They were seeing this system wide, so throughout the 207 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:49.559 cardiovascular system, throughout the brain. So this is just another reason as to 208 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.559 why to say, yeah, you know what, maybe that flex HX product 209 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:59.039 of something I should look into because now seeing this science and seeing just how 210 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.680 powerful this can be. And there was a study that they did years ago 211 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.400 too, and it was in the annuals of the Rheumatic Diseases Journal, where 212 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.359 they took a group of people who had asked to arthritis of the knee and 213 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.559 they wanted to see if they gave them kendraitan, like, well, let's 214 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.119 just give them condritan. Let's see how they do versus giving them celebrates. 215 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.200 And we know celebrates that's one of the cocks to inhibitor drugs. Member its 216 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:30.640 partner was by Ox that they yanked off the market because of potential for sudden 217 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.319 heart attack and death. So thank gosh they removed that. But celebrex still 218 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:40.440 comes with its own cardiovascular risk. So they are always looking for alternatives, 219 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.960 and so in this research this is what they did. They set up this 220 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.160 trial where they took people who have arthritis in their knee. They said, 221 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:55.079 let's see how they do on kendritan versus how they do on these celebrates. 222 00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:00.799 And they were happy to report back that when we give people condritten supplementation, 223 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.240 they do really well. And you know, oftentimes people say, well, 224 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.839 how much do I need to take? And once again this comes down to 225 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:15.039 that individualized approach. I will tell you that the condritting that we have in 226 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.720 this formulation is a high absorption condritent, So it's twenty milligrams. Now, 227 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.400 if you just see a standard condritent extract out there on the market, it 228 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:29.000 may be like four hundred milligrams. But the way that this is actually bound 229 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.319 it's called dermatin sulfate, and the way that that is bound and up took 230 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:41.440 into your system is much more efficient and effective than just a standard condritten formulation. 231 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.000 So this is why when people start to use the flex HX, they 232 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.640 really start to see that difference and they're like, oh, you know what, 233 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.720 I think I'm gonna I'm gonna tell some friends about this one. And 234 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.880 we have testimonials that are even on our website, you know, talking about 235 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.559 you know, how this is the best stuff. You know, I had 236 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:06.480 an ailing knee and I was utilizing this, and you know how well that 237 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:11.079 they're doing on this. Another person wrote in saying, you know, I've 238 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.359 been taking flex HX, hearing about it on invite radio, and they found 239 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.319 that it is working for them. Just marvelously and they happen to be a 240 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.079 runner, so a lot of compression going on within their knee and their hips, 241 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:33.839 and so utilizing the flex AHAX has really given a significant benefit to them. 242 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:41.519 Now I want to talk about cartilage cartilage h X. This is just 243 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.240 a humdinger of a formulation. I love science, So anytime you can kind 244 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:52.720 of peel back the layers of you know, how something was discovered. Like 245 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.559 I love the history of Cohens. I'm Q ten that scientists just kind of 246 00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.200 stumbled upon it and was like, hey, what is this stuff? Oh 247 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.799 yeah, act actually exists in the human body, and oh it's pretty darn 248 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.799 important too. Well, this is similar when we think about how they stumbled 249 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:15.720 upon the cartilage HX. So this is a type two undenatured collagen. So 250 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.359 we look at the flex HX. That's type one collagen, that's the most 251 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:25.359 abundant type of collagen found in the body. But cartilage HX, this has 252 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.119 a really unique form and it is the type two form. Now, when 253 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:37.799 we think about how it is that researchers and do a test and maybe they're 254 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.079 focused on one thing and then they find a benefit of something else. This 255 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:48.039 is basically the history of type two collagen. So you had researchers at University 256 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:53.880 of Wisconsin and University of Nebraska and they were looking at bone broth. They 257 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.519 said, okay, we've always heard that, you know, if someone sick 258 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.599 with a common cold they have chicken noodles soup that this can help. So 259 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:07.000 what is it within the soup that's actually yielding this help? And what they 260 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:14.960 found in doing this study was that they could see this very unique form of 261 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.319 collagen. They said, hmm, okay, well, this collagen is working 262 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.359 in a way that we've never seen collagen work, and that way is it's 263 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:29.599 regulating the immune system. So it's not like it's just replenishing collagen like this 264 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:36.240 type to collagen is actually working as an immune regulator. So then you have 265 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.960 other researchers that say, well, wait a minute, if this is regulating 266 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.480 the immune system, then this would probably be really good for people who have 267 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:49.319 like rheumatoid arthritis, or folks who have even osteoarthritis, because remember it was 268 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:55.720 always thought that osteoarthritis was solely just wear and tear. Like you know, 269 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.359 you're a football player and you know you ran track and field or whatever. 270 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:06.119 Be the case that your joints began to break down because of just overuse. 271 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.279 Well to a degree, yes, this is definitely true in os to arthritis, 272 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.799 but we also cannot overlook the fact that it is an immune component to 273 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.079 this. It's the immune system that's driving up all of that inflammation, which 274 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:25.160 is what creates the pain in your knee. So if we can use this 275 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:30.160 really unique form of collagen that helps our immune system calm down so it's not 276 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:36.640 going into this full attack mode driving up inflammation and driving up pain within our 277 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.599 joints, then that's pretty darn impressive. And hence this is where the cartilage 278 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:49.000 HX formulation comes to really show its real potential. And you can go back 279 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:56.079 in time and you can start to look at the science of how they've studied 280 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.640 this and how they've looked at this in terms of its clinical effectiveness in the 281 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.200 setting of osteoarthritis as well as in the setting of rheumatoid arthritis. And honestly, 282 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.759 the very first studies that were done, we're in the setting of rheumatoid 283 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.960 arthritis because this is an autoimmune condition, and when the researchers said, oh, 284 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:22.599 hey, we know that this type two collagen helps to regulate the immune 285 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.240 system. We need to use this in people who have autoimmune conditions, so 286 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.920 hence you fast forward and they say, okay, well it's working in them, 287 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.599 let's see if it's going to work in everybody else who's got joint pain 288 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.119 and inflammation. And sure enough, this is what they have found. So 289 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.519 the form that we use is the type that was actually used in the human 290 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:47.240 clinical trials in both rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis. So it is you 291 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:51.319 see, two is the name of it. So it's a registered trademark form 292 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:56.720 of this very unique type of collagen. So it's different than type one collagen. 293 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:04.000 This is type two and it's undenatured state. This is so important because 294 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.880 if we can do things to auto regulate our immune system, then we don't 295 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:15.200 have to be reliant on continuously using end sets, which is what most people 296 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.319 use when they have arthritis. They're taking the leaves, they're taking the advils, 297 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:25.480 they're taking ibprofen on a regular basis, and we know the long lasting 298 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.759 harmful effect that those end sets, those non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs can have 299 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.119 on your kidneys. Just to mention one area, we know that there are 300 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:45.359 many other systems that are impacted with chronic overuse of non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. 301 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:52.599 So if we can do something using this UC two, this registered trademark 302 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:57.400 form of collagen that has been shown to basically go in and desensitize the immune 303 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.640 system to prevent all of these pro inflammatory, you know, autoimmune attacks within 304 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.240 the joint, then this is something that's pretty darn powerful. And hence this 305 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:14.759 is where the science really takes over. Because it's one thing to assume this 306 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:19.319 in say a lab setting, it is another thing to actually replicate it in 307 00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:26.759 human clinical trials. And this is why the UC two has been shown to 308 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.839 be so powerful and so effective. Now let me just give you one of 309 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.480 the studies that came out back in two thousand and nine. This was in 310 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:41.440 the International Journal of Medicinal Sciences where they were looking at the safety and the 311 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:48.240 advocacy of using type two under natured collagen and the treatment of osteoarthritis of the 312 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.680 name. So they took a group of individuals who have all been diagnosed with 313 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:57.400 osteoarthritis. Then they gave them type two under natured collagen, which is our 314 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.240 cartilage HX formula. They had them do this for three months, so ninety 315 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:11.839 days. At the end of that trial, they had significant improvement in their 316 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.119 joint mobility, in the lessening of inflammation, and they said enhancement of their 317 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:22.240 overall daily activity, so hence it was improving their quality of life, and 318 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:27.720 that's really very important. No, you can go back to the studies that 319 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:37.599 proceeded that in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center where they were using the cartilage HX, 320 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:42.799 that type two undernatured collagen in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. So you're 321 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:48.759 taking people who have significant joint destruction that's occurring, and when they gave them 322 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:55.920 the type two underenatured collagen this U see two that we have in the cartilage 323 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:03.880 HX formulation, they had these really positive effects and they said there are no 324 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:11.440 side effects. This is a very novel therapeutic agent that they should be considering 325 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.599 with all people who have not just rheumatoid arthritis, but also osteoarthritis. So 326 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.359 when it comes to your joints, we know that there are millions of Americans 327 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.400 who suffer from joint inflammation and joint pain, and maybe they just keep running 328 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:32.279 down to their local Walgreens or cvs and they're grabbing their advil. But there's 329 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.799 a better way to address this, you know, going to that root. 330 00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:40.200 Cause we know that we have loss of collagen. We know that we have 331 00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.720 our immune system that gets overreactive and wants to generate all of this inflammation which 332 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.759 is what we experience as the pain. So if we take a multi modal 333 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:56.960 of approach to joint health, So this combination of using flex ahax along with 334 00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:02.759 Cartila JEX and just one capsulate, you can't get easier than that with cartilage 335 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.000 X one capsule a day. Why do we say one capsule day? That's 336 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.039 the science on it. There have been shown that when you use consistently one 337 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:17.960 capsule a day of the cartilage CHEX, you are going to be yielding those 338 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.759 benefits that all of these scientific studies have shown time and time again. So 339 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.880 I'm gonna talk a little bit more about why joint health matters, and then 340 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:32.240 I'm going to talk about some weight loss formulations.

I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at invite Health, 356 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.839 and happy Saturday morning if you were just now joining us. I've been talking 357 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.599 about the importance of joint health. We know that there are millions of Americans 358 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:55.200 who suffer with joint pain and inflammation on a regular basis, And there are 359 00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.720 so many different things that you can be doing. And keep in mind, 360 00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:03.359 exercise is important when it comes to maintaining your joints. A lot of times, 361 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:10.279 when people start to experience more significant levels of arthritis, they become less 362 00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:15.839 and less mobile. And studies have shown that actually maintaining that strength and that 363 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:25.200 tone and that flexibility is important in stopping the worsening or the exacerbation of the 364 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.839 destruction within the joint. But then we can look at adding in formulations such 365 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.119 as the flex HX, the cartilage AJAX, which is just so incredibly unique. 366 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:40.680 The science behind cartilage ahax is just so impressive. So what else shall 367 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:45.839 we be doing? Oh, we can't overlook omega three's. And so this 368 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.240 is why I want to talk about krill oil today. And I talked about 369 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.039 this a couple of weeks ago. Krill oil in the setting of brain health 370 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:59.279 and why krill is just such a power house when it comes to our heart 371 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:02.160 and our brain because it has those different components to it. So when we're 372 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.240 looking at fish oil, for example, we're getting the high amount so volume 373 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.880 wise, we're getting a high amount of omega three's krow, you get less 374 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:15.799 total omega three, but it's more unique in the sense that it has other 375 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.039 nutrients that are already added into it that naturally are just occurring. So you 376 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.759 get coline, so the phosphatidal coline in this we know that this is key 377 00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:30.359 for making acetal colin, which is your memory neurotransmitter, which is why it's 378 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.200 so good for brain health. But it also has asked to xanthon, and 379 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:40.279 that asked to xanthin is a powerful crotnoid which is incredibly helpful when it comes 380 00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:44.759 to the health of your brain, to your heart, to your eyes, 381 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.480 and certainly to the joints, because we know that joint destruction, just like 382 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.599 loss of bone, so much of that is linked to oxidative stress or free 383 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.279 radical damage. So this is why you, of course want to have a 384 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.880 good comprehend tens of omega three into your daily supplementation routine. And people many 385 00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.759 times will ask me, well, what's the difference, like should I be 386 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.640 using fish oil or should I be using kryll oil, And there are differences, 387 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.160 there are variables, and there are times where it may be advisable to 388 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.000 use both that maybe that you're going to get more benefit from krill. So 389 00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:24.079 once again it's an individualized approach to this. Like my mother, for example, 390 00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:29.960 she has always struggled with having elevated triglycerides. She kind of always fell 391 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:36.039 into that metabolic syndrome class with having struggles with blood glucose, having high triglyst 392 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:40.720 rides and elevated LDLs, And so for years I've had her on combination of 393 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:46.039 fish oil and kryll oil, and she does really well with that in terms 394 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.680 of regulating her triglyst ride levels and her total cholesterol. And of course I 395 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.759 know the benefits that she's getting beyond that of just for cholesterol support. I 396 00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.359 know that it's helpful for her joints. I know that it's really wonderful for 397 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:04.720 her brain. Remember, our brain contains so many of those essential fats and 398 00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.400 we want to maintain those fats in our brain as we grow older. So 399 00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:14.159 this is why omega threes should be part of your routine. Now. My 400 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.119 dad, on the other hand, he uses mainly krill oil, and the 401 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:24.199 reason why he does the krill is because of the added support that he finds 402 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:30.199 to be so helpful for his joints. So now his cardiovascular profile is really 403 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:35.480 quite excellent, and when it comes to his cholesterol levels, to his triglyss 404 00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.440 ride levels, and his blood sugar has always been really in a good, 405 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:45.920 good shape. So for him, where he notices the benefit of taking krill 406 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:51.239 oil is for his knees. And he was an athlete his whole life and 407 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:57.960 to this day still exercises on a daily basis, so he finds that when 408 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.760 he started taking krill many years ago that he was like, Wow, this 409 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:08.480 stuff is really helping me when it comes to my knees. Now there's a 410 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:13.480 reason why that is, and we can look at how it is that krill 411 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:19.280 is uptaken into our system, which is why when you look at early research 412 00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:23.719 done on krill oil, much of that was outside of that scope of just 413 00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:29.480 looking at cardiovascular and brain health, and a lot of it was primarily focused 414 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.960 on its help for arthritis. Because we know that when it comes to just 415 00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:37.320 conventional medicine, you know, regular doctors. I know I always kind of 416 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.400 beat up regular doctors, and I don't mean too because there are some really 417 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.800 good functional medicine doctors out there, But myself, I know, just going 418 00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.360 through medical school and going through my training, there's just not a lot of 419 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:54.719 focus on the importance of diet and exercise, and when we're deficient in something, 420 00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.880 why replenishing or replacing that is so critical. And certainly when you look 421 00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:05.599 at omega this is essential. Omega three fatty acids are essential, and we 422 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.719 know that conventional medicine they just prefer when you look at treatments for arthritis, 423 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:12.679 well let's just give you an end set, or let's give you celebrates or 424 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.360 you know, gosh, now they're even giving people immuno modulatory like immuno suppressance 425 00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:23.239 for arthritis, which is very scary. But we now can see that krill 426 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:31.559 is very targeted towards the joint damaging molecules and that inflammation that occurs within the 427 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.199 joint spaces. And the reason why is because of the way that the krill 428 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:45.480 is absorbed into our system and taken into those small spaces like within your knees 429 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.719 or within your hands. A lot of times people will experience problems with arthritis 430 00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.360 within their hands. So as you get older, if you start to see 431 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:59.840 these issues, maybe start to consider krill oil as your go to Omega three. 432 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.079 On top of the fact that you're getting that brain support with the phosphatitle 433 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:08.079 colline and you're getting that asked to xanthem. So it's kind of the triple 434 00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:14.920 threat of omega three's. One could say, now understanding how it is that 435 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:22.840 krill in combination with other nutrients such as flex HX and cartilage HX, why 436 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:30.159 this approach is so effective. And when I've had people use this type of 437 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.280 routine, they come back and say, wow, you know, I really 438 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:37.679 can see this noticeable difference. And because, like I said, we're hitting 439 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:42.400 the problem within that joint space, the destruction, the loss of collagen, 440 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.800 the loss of cartilage, the loss of the fluid cushioning, and all of 441 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.840 that inflammation and oxidative stress. So if we can use different nutrients that are 442 00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:59.400 all working synergistically together, so they're working together to yield that same positive benefit. 443 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:05.840 This is why this combo, this three nutrient combo flex achex, cartilage 444 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:14.079 ahex along with krill oil advanced is just incredibly beneficial when it comes to the 445 00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.320 health of your joints. So I want to talk about some of the science 446 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:22.079 behind this. And we know that krill has been studied for you being able 447 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:27.119 to lower triglyst rides. We've seen multiple research trials saying, hey, when 448 00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.599 people start using Krill oil, you know, say you're using our Krill Oil 449 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.840 Advance, you take two capsules a day, go in and you have your 450 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.960 cholesterol levels check and you're like, oh wow, look at my cholesterols coming 451 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.679 into a healthier range. So we've seen all of those different scientific studies, 452 00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:47.000 but when it comes to krill and joint health is where it really gets quite 453 00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:53.840 impressive. And the rate, the quickness or the speed, the rapid ability 454 00:38:53.880 --> 00:39:00.079 of krill to support the joints is what really has made me go to kryll 455 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.360 as that number one Omega three. When it comes to the health of your 456 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:08.199 bones the health of your joints, we know that there are so many people 457 00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:15.280 who are dealing with a combination of both osteoarthritis plus maybe osteopenia or osteoporosis. 458 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:21.760 And this is why utilizing the krill oil that we know takes into the joint 459 00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:28.039 space really nicely and it helps to resolve a lot of that destruction, and 460 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.239 it also helps to ease so much of that inflammation. We know it's the 461 00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:37.760 inflammation that is driving up that significant amount of pain that people have. Now. 462 00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:39.199 Interestingly enough, there was a study that they did. It was a 463 00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:45.760 double blind, placebo controlled trial where they had people take Krill oil and these 464 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:51.559 were folks who had osteoarthritis and they had very high CEA reactive protein levels. 465 00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:54.880 So we know CEA reactive protein is a marker in the blood for inflammation. 466 00:39:55.119 --> 00:40:00.760 And when they gave them three hundred milligrams of krill oil and then they had 467 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:07.079 them do this over the course of two months, they started to see these 468 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.599 levels dropping dropping, dropping, And what was interesting is the initial drop they 469 00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:17.360 saw it after two weeks. Just in two weeks, so CRP levels started 470 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.360 to come down by upwards of thirty percent just in the first two weeks of 471 00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:27.880 being on krill oil. So I go back to this because I had a 472 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.280 neighbor many years ago who came over and said, hey, you know, 473 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.400 would you mind looking at my blood work for me? I said, sure, 474 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:37.800 no problems. So I was looking through all of her her labs and 475 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:42.360 she had autoimmune thyroid issues, so she had Hashimoto's thyroid and she also had 476 00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:45.400 severe arthritis, and her creat to protein level was just off the charts. 477 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:50.199 It was like in the fifties. And she says, well, my doctor 478 00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.840 said, they weren't really sure about that it might be my heart, now 479 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.800 could it potentially be her heart, of course, but her other markers for 480 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:02.480 cardiovascular health looked to be pretty pretty good. So I said, well, 481 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:07.480 you know you have autoimmune condition. You have you know, hashimotos, which 482 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.679 can clearly create systemic inflammation, but you also have significant arthritis. You know, 483 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.760 what do you take on a regular basis? And she didn't really take 484 00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.559 anything. She said, I take just a basic multi vitamin. So I 485 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:20.639 told her, I said, okay, let's get you on some krill oil 486 00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:24.000 and let's have you on krill oil Vitamin D because you have an autoimmune conditions. 487 00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:28.280 We know you need that vitamin D. And let's have you on some 488 00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:31.000 magnesium. So we put her on a comprehensive, little daily routine that she 489 00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:35.119 could stick with, and she did. And after three months she went back 490 00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.760 and she had her levels tested, and she came back and she goes, 491 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.119 you're not going to believe this. My doctor was amazed. My c react 492 00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:45.679 of protein level is all the way down to a four now, and I 493 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:47.480 was in the fifties and they were so concerned that it was my heart and 494 00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:50.880 now it's all the way down to a four. And I said, okay, 495 00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:53.599 you know, and it's likely that your CRP level will always tend to 496 00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:59.719 be, you know, just slightly over the elevated range because of having this 497 00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:06.360 morbid condition of having arthritis along with thyroid. But to this day she still 498 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.760 is using her Krill Oil, the Krill Oil Advanced. And that's important because 499 00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:15.920 we want to make sure that we're always doing what we can to avoid adding 500 00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.320 in salt to injury is always the way that I describe it. We don't 501 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.079 want to create havoc in our body when we don't need to. So, 502 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:27.360 you know, your diet certainly matters.

First. 531 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:30.199 We always want to think about the foods that we're eating. Now, 532 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:36.119 you know, I'm making sure that we have high fiber foods, antioxidant foods, 533 00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:38.039 so fruits and vegetables. That's what I'm talking about here. We want 534 00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.599 to make sure that we are doing some type of exercise. I would say, 535 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:45.840 find something that you like. Do not set yourself up for failure and 536 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.719 say I'm gonna go ride my bike, you know, five miles a day. 537 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.280 When you don't enjoy riding a bike, don't set yourself up for failure. 538 00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:58.000 Find something that you actually enjoy doing. Now, a couple of little 539 00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:02.199 tips. We have a really wonderfu formulation called trim HX that I want to 540 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:07.360 discuss in some details today. This is a combination of five HTP, which 541 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:12.599 is five hydroxy trip to fan which is the your precursor to making serotonin. 542 00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:17.079 Why does that matter? Well, serotonin is our happy neurotransmitter, and it 543 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.079 also really can help to regulate our satiety center in our brain. So for 544 00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:29.320 those who have a tendency to maybe have that afternoon or late evening urge to 545 00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:35.360 want a snack, having some five HTP on board can definitely be beneficial. 546 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:40.559 So this is partnered up with grains of paradise. Now, this is such 547 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:49.280 a unique nutrient and the science on the grains of paradise is so incredibly impressive 548 00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:54.320 when it comes to its anti inflammatory activity, but more importantly, the way 549 00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:59.679 that it can make your white fat cells want to act more like brown fat 550 00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:04.079 cells. Now, why does that matter Because when you're baby, so baby 551 00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.320 fat. People always say, oh, look at that little baby and look 552 00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:08.800 at their little you know, fatty wrinkles on their arms. That's the brown 553 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:14.559 fat. Now that rapidly can burn off. White fat. On the other 554 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:17.480 hand, yeah, it's a little tougher, And this is where we run 555 00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:22.559 into the problem because it's hard to get white fat to want to act like 556 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:29.039 brown fat and have that thermogenic ability, the ability to burn off. So 557 00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:34.000 when we look at the technical term we talk about lippolasis or the breakdown of 558 00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:37.280 that fat. Well, what we have seen from the scientific research that's so 559 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:43.880 impressive with grains of paradise, which is found in the trim HX formulation, 560 00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:49.400 is that with the supplementation of grains of paradise, they have found that it 561 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:55.719 can actually reduce body fat by making your white fat act like brown fat. 562 00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:00.679 And that in and of itself is enough to have most people say hmm, 563 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:02.920 okay, well, that sign me up for that. But when you think 564 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:08.559 about what's happening when we're carrying around access weight and access fat cells, we 565 00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:14.519 get this localized inflammation. So we also want to be able to address that. 566 00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:20.039 And this is why that grains of paradise is so impressive as well as 567 00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:24.920 so effective when it comes to weight loss and managing healthy weight, because not 568 00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:30.840 only is it creating this thermogenic or this fat burning ability, it is also 569 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:37.440 targeting the inflammation around those fat cells. When they have done the clinical research 570 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:42.800 trials, they have found that the grains of paradise contain an awful lot of 571 00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.239 these ginger roles in them. Because the grains of paradise is part of the 572 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:52.320 ginger family and it's these active constituents that are contained within the grains of paradise 573 00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:57.760 that really help with this activation of that brown fat cell. So where you 574 00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.800 do have some residual brown fat cells, it really helps to activate those. 575 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.719 And then for the white fat cells, it allows them to try to mimic 576 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:10.719 the action of the brown fat cells. Within four weeks of supplementation of the 577 00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:15.320 grains of paradise. And this is a study that was published in the British 578 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:19.079 Journal of Nutrition back in twenty thirteen. What they found was that within four 579 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:24.400 weeks of using grains of paradise in men who were overweight, they started to 580 00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:30.960 see the significant shift in their fat distribution. That's pretty impressive. So now 581 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:35.440 you say, okay, so now you're partnering that up with the five HDP. 582 00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.000 And we know that the five hydroxy trip to fans certainly is very geared 583 00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:45.280 towards making sure that our satiety center, that we're feeling happy, that we're 584 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:50.159 not down and out and wanting to go and snack on everything that we come 585 00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:52.599 across in our kitchen. You know, the best thing is not to bring 586 00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:55.719 those things into your house. But I understand people have weak moments, but 587 00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:02.079 we can look at the actual science high five HTP and start to understand why 588 00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:09.760 it has been so effective when it comes to weight loss as aid in a 589 00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:16.599 sense for the mood regulation, because so much of weight management comes down to 590 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:22.400 not only being able to generate the ability to burn off at but also with 591 00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:28.079 the regulation of our different hormonal pathways. Now, if we're really stressed out, 592 00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.800 that's not a good thing, and over time that's going to impact your 593 00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:37.119 mood. So this is hence why five HDP can be so incredibly effective. 594 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:43.599 University of Michigan they talked about this how five HDP actually works for appetite reduction 595 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:47.239 as well as weight loss, and they found that giving people five HDP anywhere 596 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.119 in the range of five hundred to eight hundred milligrams per day over the course 597 00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:57.199 of twelve weeks, they started to see this average of about eleven pounds of 598 00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.719 weight loss. So now you look and say, okay, so you have 599 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:05.480 a product called trim achus that combines up the grains of paradise, so making 600 00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:08.679 our fat cells want to burn off, helping the inflammation around that fat, 601 00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:14.320 and then we partner that with that five hydroxy trip to fan, which is 602 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:20.599 a one two power punch. When it comes to targeted weight loss, especially 603 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:24.119 when we're trying to do it in a more finite window, taking the trim 604 00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:30.280 ahex is an excellent choice. Now, how would you take this? This 605 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.239 is often a question that comes up like, Okay, yeah, I'm interested 606 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:37.000 in this product, but how do I take it? Well, I advise 607 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:42.800 that if you are looking for that more rapid benefit coming from the trim achex 608 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:47.360 is that you would take one capsule three times per day, so one at 609 00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:52.920 breakfast, one at lunch, one at dinner. So this is my advice 610 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.159 too. Are you going to yield a benefit if you just take it twice 611 00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:58.920 to day? Certainly you are. But if we want to kind of fast 612 00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:02.960 track that, I would go one with each meal. Now the other thing 613 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:08.639 is the phase two. Now, why is this such a fascinating find? 614 00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:13.960 The old phase two? We're using white kidney being extract. This has been 615 00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:19.079 studied so extensively over the past two decades in terms of its multiple benefits not 616 00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:23.000 only for weight loss, but also for blood glucose regulation, for healthy cholesterol 617 00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:28.079 support. When we think about the Mediterranean diet and all of the wonderful things 618 00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:30.760 that go along with this, this is one of those positive foods that we 619 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.199 can look at, we can say oh okay, yeah, because the high 620 00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:38.760 fiber, wonderful vitamins and minerals, powerful antioxidants in the way that the enzymes 621 00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:45.639 within the Phase two is actually working very impressive. Now, there are numerous 622 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:52.480 clinical research trials that have studied our Phase two formulation that we offer at invite 623 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.599 Health. Our Phase two has been studied and I think at this point in 624 00:51:55.599 --> 00:52:02.079 time, maybe twelve or fifteen different clinical research to show how effective it is 625 00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:07.559 in blocking carbohydrates. So the more bad carbs that perhaps you're having in your 626 00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:12.000 diet, we want to be able to block those so that they're not converting 627 00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.079 into sugars and then being stored as a fat. That's never a good thing. 628 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:20.239 So what we can see from these clinical research trials is an improvement across 629 00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.880 many different markers, so not only for the weight loss component, but also 630 00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:28.840 for an improvement when it comes to blood sugar, when it comes to maintaining 631 00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:35.360 healthy cholesterol. All of these things are very key. Just this year they 632 00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:40.599 went and they did a meta analysis looking at the Phase two formulation and finding 633 00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:45.639 just how impactful this is because it's blocking something called alpha amalyas when we think 634 00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:49.440 about the way our carbohydrates to say, you're going out to a restaurant. 635 00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:51.760 You know you're gonna have pasta, you know you're gonna cheat, and you're 636 00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:53.159 like, listen, I'm having my pasta, I'm having my bread. I 637 00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:58.000 don't care. This is what I'm doing. This is my advice, take 638 00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:02.079 your phase two before you have that meal, because at least we can impede 639 00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:08.559 a lot of that harmful uptake of those carbohydrates by adding in that Phase two. 640 00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.599 So this is really important. I always tell folks if you're going to 641 00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:17.280 be using Phase two, always keep a bottle with you on hand for those 642 00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:21.400 emergency situations like, Hey, I'm going to a restaurant. I didn't know 643 00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:24.039 I was going to. I'm probably going to order something that's not that healthy 644 00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:28.159 for me. Let me take my Phase two. So what we can see 645 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:32.280 from this meta analysis that looked at all of the different clinical trials that assess 646 00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:38.000 the effectiveness of the phase two formulation that we offer at invite, what they 647 00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:45.760 were able to conclude was a statistical significant difference in body weight and body fat 648 00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:51.559 in those who supplement with phase two, and so phase two best way to 649 00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:54.199 use that is with your high carb meals, so I would always advise trying 650 00:53:54.199 --> 00:54:00.400 to sneak that in about fifteen minutes before you sit down for a star archie 651 00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:04.119 intake of food. But you can certainly take it even if you're not having 652 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:07.280 a high card meal as well, and you're still going to be yielding those 653 00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.880 other benefits that go along with that. Well, we covered some ground today, 654 00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:15.239 We've got our joints covered, We've got our weight loss plan in hand, 655 00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:20.320 so definitely go check out our brand new website, invitehealth dot com. 656 00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.840 Remember you can schedule a phone consultation with one of our nutritional experts.
