and healthy living expert. I'm joined
by my co host, Melissa Chris Bell

8
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:44,280
was trained as a natural path and
nutrition specialist. She has a whole host

9
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:51,039
of other wellness certifications to include uricular
acupuncture for detoxification and relaxation, yoga and

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,920
natural healing. Melissa's spent the better
part of the last thirteen years teaching doctors

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,359
all around the world how to look
at both traditional lab testing with a functional

12
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:06,319
medicine lens, use specialty LAP testing
like nutritional genetic tests, food sensitivity tests,

13
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,959
and micronutrient tests, along with professional
grade nutraceutical supplements such as Pure Essentials

14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,439
to create their own signature programs.
A self proclaimed wellness warrior advocate, Melissa

15
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,000
is on a mission to teach you
how to reclaim your health and live your

16
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,480
best life. Undoctored a little bit
of a different format today. We've got

17
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:29,200
a lot of questions the past couple
of weeks from listeners from clients of Melissa's

18
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,159
in terms of how do we work
with supplements, what are some good rules

19
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:37,120
of thumb in terms of nutrition and
overall health questions that have come up out

20
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,000
of just even doing our first two
episodes of the show on nutrition on nutrients

21
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,079
thum Melissa first question, what is
a good rule of thumb to know what

22
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,760
ingredients to avoid when doing food shopping. That was a great question and it

23
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,840
has a few different answers. I
would say, if we're talking rule of

24
00:01:55,879 --> 00:02:00,599
thumb for something that would apply to
any human being, shop the perimeter.

25
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:05,599
That's nothing new. Steer clear of
the processed in the middle. I mean,

26
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:07,719
you're going to have to go to
the middle for a few things.

27
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,120
If you eat rice or oats,
that's in the middle. But for the

28
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,120
most part, if you are eating
in a way that will actually fuel your

29
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:21,840
body, you're looking at meat,
fruit, vegetables, right, You're reducing

30
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,080
the dairy intake, you're reducing the
grains you're reducing the processed foods, so

31
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,719
you want to make sure that you're
eating the perimeter. Eat the perimeter,

32
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:31,639
eat the rainbow. Even though we're
not having skittles, you know, we

33
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,439
still want to eat the rainbow.
We'll say, eat the organic rainbow.

34
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,599
There you go, organic, non
gmo whole foods. That's my stick for

35
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,719
clients. Sounds good, and I
know in terms of chemicals, we see

36
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:46,919
things in not just in foods in
terms of colored and processing foods, but

37
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,479
also in a lot of medications.
There are certain dyes. We had a

38
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,360
client who was in the center once
who was allergic to the red dye on

39
00:02:55,439 --> 00:03:00,520
the Thailand all capsule and they had
been taking Thailand al pm every night before

40
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,120
they're going to bed, and something
that minuscule was causing a reaction in their

41
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,240
body. So less as specifically why
should I avoid red dyes, and if

42
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,319
you want to talk a little bit
about other dyes and food colorings too and

43
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,319
why they can pose real problems.
Most of those diyes, whether it's FD

44
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,919
and C red number five or yellow
six, Blue Lake, they're petroleum based.

45
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,840
Think about what petroleum is. Is
that something you really want in your

46
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:29,520
system? It's probably not red specifically
the question mark. Very honestly, it

47
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,599
might be new information to some people. It's been happening for a hundred years,

48
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:38,000
but it's made from a specific bug, Carmine corneal. It's a white

49
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,520
bug that oozes red stuff, and
that's where it comes from. Some people

50
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,439
might be familiar with. One of
our favorite coffee places actually had to take

51
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,800
a specific drink off of their menu
last year. There was a big expose

52
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,240
about using bugs to flavor people's drinks. You know, I think they were

53
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,919
just kind of going with its natural
because it happens in nature, not really

54
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,120
thinking what the sumer was going to
appreciate or not appreciate about it. Those

55
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:06,400
colorings. The petroleum base is the
bigger issue than the bug is, right.

56
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:11,599
I have a friend and a colleague. He's a chiropractor in Indiana.

57
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,199
He was doing food and chemical sensitivity
testing on patients and this it was the

58
00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:18,839
mom of a little girl. She
hadn't done her food and chemical sensitivity tests

59
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:26,319
yet, but this practitioner had started
the child on vitamin C flushes with our

60
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,720
famous vitamin C. And for those
of you that aren't aware, you can

61
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,319
calibrate your body's need for vitamin C
by taking it in a very specific ratio.

62
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:39,079
So you know, someone in generally
good health that just wants to do

63
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:44,240
better for themselves would take one teaspoon
in six to eight ounces of water,

64
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,360
stir it up, let it dissolve, litical clear, all of those fun

65
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:50,560
things, drink that vitamin C water, and then repeat that process every twenty

66
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,639
minutes until the body flushes. And
what you flush is what's been hanging out

67
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,199
causing issues. But more importantly,
the process is used to calibrate what war

68
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,040
bodies daily need is you want to
make sure that you're taking enough vitamin C

69
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,600
but not taking too much that you
end up with a bout tolerance issue.

70
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,079
There's more information on pure dash essentials
dot com about our vitamin C calibration.

71
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,920
You can also call into the office. You can also purchase the sea buffered,

72
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,600
which is the vitamin C that we're
talking about right now. It's a

73
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,920
powdered vitamin C. And I know
some people do that in place of a

74
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,399
colonic They do it as a detox. They do it after they travel,

75
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,120
if they've spent a week somewhere and
eating bad food, enjoying themselves thoroughly.

76
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:33,800
But it's a great reset. And
that phone number Melissa was talking about is

77
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,800
the number for our office. It's
open Mondays through Fridays nine to five and

78
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,439
it's two one two seven five eight
thirty two hundreds. That's two and two

79
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,600
seven five eight three two zero zero. Anyway, this particular practitioner was addressing

80
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:53,439
some food and chemical sensitivity issues with
his patient and the mother was reporting back

81
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,639
after doing these Vitamin C flushes that
it smelled like band aid and plastic in

82
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,480
the bathroom. They couldn't figure out
what was going on with this little one.

83
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,519
Did the food and chemical sensitivity test, it comes back she's reactive to

84
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,199
petroleums, so her body was holding
onto those to try and protect her.

85
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,439
And it was the result of petroleums
in the air and taking in vitamins and

86
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:23,040
supplements that had those dyes. Some
of those kids in Europe they're called goomies.

87
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,399
In America they call them gummies,
taking some of those over the counter

88
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:32,160
children's squishy gummy type supplements that had
different petroleum based dyes in them. And

89
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,480
once they cut those out and got
her on a good path of cleaning the

90
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:41,720
air and doing the regular vitamin SEA
flushes, she was able to recover from

91
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,199
that. You actually make a really
interesting point because so many of the kids

92
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,519
supplements are gummy. They're sugar,
they're colored, they look like candy,

93
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:56,160
they taste like candy. Effectively,
you're getting as much chemicals or toxicity as

94
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:58,800
you are the good stuff, and
it cancels each other. Adam, sure,

95
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,839
it's wacky in that way, just
once you're on the manufacturing side of

96
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,959
it and you understand what those are
actually made of. I just can't seem

97
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,399
to get behind it. The amount
of sugar in those little things, it's

98
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,560
pretty insane. I wouldn't say that
it's as much as drinking a cocoda.

99
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,040
I'd have to look at you know, the actual milligrams. Again, I

100
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,639
don't know them off the top of
my head by memory, but they're little

101
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,720
sugar bombs, those little gummies are, and they make them for kids with

102
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,279
melatonin. So you're going to give
a kid that sugar bomb with some melatonin

103
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,160
before they go to bed, and
it's just not what I did for my

104
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160
children. I can tell you that
melatonin is one of those things. I

105
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:35,319
know a lot of people take it
frequently, but it'll start to wear off,

106
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:39,480
it won't have that same effect on
you, because melatonin is part of

107
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,680
an actual neurotransmitter process in our system. If you were to add that regularly,

108
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,279
it's going to lose its effect.
It's great, you know, if

109
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,879
you're going across the globe and you
need some assistance sleeping on one of those

110
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,600
long, long flights, melatonin it
can benefit you. But on the regular

111
00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:58,199
probably not the thing to do.
And I know too, Melyssa. There's

112
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,720
different sleep products that you recommend are
wonderful. On the Pure Essentials line,

113
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,199
there's also a children's supplement, all
natural, non GMO, no fillers,

114
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,680
none of the bad stuff added.
And you brought up something lash So that's

115
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,519
interesting to talking about sugars and sugars
and supplements, But don't they fight for

116
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,160
the same receptors as a vitamin C. They can, Yeah, And so

117
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,639
if you load up a vitamin C
product with sugar, you're really canceling each

118
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:26,199
other out. Ultimately, that's why
Pure Essentials Sea buffered has no sugar,

119
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,639
has no flavor in it. It's
just all natural. It's food derived.

120
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,679
And speaking of nutrients, mol So, we had somebody write in that you

121
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:39,440
had previously mentioned some nutrients or vitamins
would require eating a quote ton of right

122
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,279
foods, even though we were designed
so uniquely. You know, our bodies

123
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,759
have all of these internal microcosms of
things that happen, you know, in

124
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,080
our mouth and our stomach, you
know, on our skin. We have

125
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,279
so much that happens naturally without us
telling our body what to do. We

126
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:01,559
just weren't designed to take the load
of stress or the amount of stress loads

127
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,519
that we are handed and our body
needs extra help. If you couple that

128
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,120
with the stress that we have,
and I'm not talking about anything traumatic,

129
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,960
I'm talking about just day to day
stuff, right. If you couple that

130
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,879
with the lack of nutrients in the
soil that our food is grown in,

131
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,720
it's just a recipe for not getting
it over the finish line. Our bodies

132
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:26,279
need a little help. We have
to have the right nutrients in there.

133
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,919
If someone wanted something specific, I
can tell you. For me, it's

134
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,759
fish, it's omega threes. It's
getting enough omega threes in that they reduce

135
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,600
inflammation. They help with my joint
aches and pains, They help with mental

136
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:43,320
clarity and such. Getting enough in
is difficult for me, mostly because of

137
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,600
the area that I live in and
getting the type of fish that I would

138
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,159
eat and getting it so that it
meets all of my criteria because I don't

139
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,759
want farm raised, I don't want
colors added. I don't want it from

140
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:01,320
areas of the world that have known
talks in their water, because what that

141
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,000
fish swims in is what's going to
be in the flesh, and I just

142
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:09,240
don't eat that much of it.
So supplementing with omega's, which is the

143
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:15,440
pure essential ultra omegas plus supplementing what
that Omega three is very very important for

144
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,759
me. I did a test.
It was an Omega three index plus test.

145
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:22,399
Pure essentials is going to be carrying
an Omega three index plus test.

146
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,200
It's just a little landset it just
a little fingerstick, drop the blood down

147
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,840
on the little car, send it
off, and the lab sends them the

148
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:33,120
results just like I did, and
tells me how much omega three was actually

149
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,840
in my blood, how much omega
six, which we all get you from

150
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:39,759
oils and seeds and those kinds of
things. We probably get too much of

151
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,919
that, And then what's the ratio, what's the healthy spot for me?

152
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:48,759
Melissa Crespell And that test will be
available soon and interesting to Melissa. I

153
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,080
know we've spoken before. But for
our listeners, not all omegas are created

154
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,440
equally, and in fact, because
it's so unregulated, a lot of them

155
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,080
are created dangerously. Can you talk
about the difference of the Pure Essentials omegas

156
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,799
and why it's a lot safer than
most of their step out there? Yeah,

157
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:11,039
definitely. So the omegas that create
the Pure Essentials old omegas plus product,

158
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:15,200
the first third and the last third
of the fish are discarded because that's

159
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,240
where a lot of the toxic chemicals
can hide out in the fish, the

160
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:24,000
body of the fish. So only
that center portion is used. Nothing farmed

161
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,720
ever, nothing, nothing, nothing. We don't want anything farmed. We

162
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:31,840
want that deep fresh cold water fish. We also want to extract it under

163
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,840
a nitrogen blanket, which has become
industry gold standard. We want to do

164
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:41,039
that because that reduces the possibility of
rancidity. And we don't put any type

165
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:46,360
of natural here's my air quotes,
natural flavorings in there, no chemical additives,

166
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,320
organic, non GMO lemon oil is
what Pure Essentials uses and that's just

167
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,360
to have a little bit of flavor
in it. Because little kids can take

168
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:01,200
this, they can bite onto it, you can puncture the gel, put

169
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,720
it on a spoon and give it
to the little one and it's going to

170
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,159
taste like a lemon oil and not
taste like tuna fish with lemon oil flavoring.

171
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,279
Or you know who knows what else
some of those other companies are doing.

187
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:31,519
Undoctored Melissa, We're going to change
it up a little bit. Next

188
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,240
question, I'm in my mid fifties
and even a moderate workout leaves me uncomfortable

189
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,120
for days. Are there vitamins or
minerals that can help my body recover more

190
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:43,600
quickly? Oh? Yeah, definitely, Pure Essentials. Pure Essentials has a

191
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,480
pill for that. That's what I
like to say. You know what,

192
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:48,919
Yes, I'm going to answer that
question with vitamins and minerals. I'm also

193
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:56,080
going to add this regular stretching,
regular movement will help to reduce it.

194
00:13:56,279 --> 00:14:00,240
You know, any chiropractor across this
country will tell you that the weekend war

195
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:03,360
is the one that gets hurt and
the one that they see on Mondays,

196
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,039
probably from spring to summertime. So
staying active on the regular Tai chee cheek

197
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:13,440
gong, yoga, just stretching the
body can be a benefit. So it's

198
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,200
not all about what pill can I
take to make this better? It's what

199
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,720
can I change in my routine to
support what I want to do in life.

200
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,320
So, you know, maybe changing
up the way that we view that

201
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,080
just a little bit. But as
far as vitamins and minerals go, if

202
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,360
we get to a certain age and
we're feeling some joint situations, those omegas

203
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,759
that I was just talking about can
be good for that. Pure Essentials has

204
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,159
a joint product that has glucose amine
and condroiton in it that could help with

205
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,320
some of those joint issues. Vitamin
C. I know, you know everyone's

206
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,279
gonna say, Melissa, you say, vitamin is see for everything, and

207
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,600
I'm probably going to Vitamin C.
It's like nature's vacuum cleaner, and it

208
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,639
just goes around and it just sucks
all the issues from the tissues and it

209
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,720
helps you to mobilize them, get
rid of them. It helps to increase

210
00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:05,000
your bodies own natural collagen production,
so you don't have to take yet another

211
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,919
product which you probably couldn't absorb and
use anyway. So if you use the

212
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:13,360
vitamin C for that, it's going
to help strengthen those tissues and those areas

213
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,799
that are feeling sore. For our
friend in their mid fifties, that vitamin

214
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,759
C can help to relieve some of
that as well as can magnesium. When

215
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:24,320
we're feeling sore like that, you
can take magnesium internally, but you can

216
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,240
also soak in it using epsom salts
and baking soda. Put one cup of

217
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,919
each in your bathwater doesn't have to
be super hot, but no as warm

218
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,080
as you like it. Hang out
in that tub for twenty minutes. Let

219
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,279
your skin get nice and pink.
Baking soda will help too. It's kind

220
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,559
of a dual purpose. The baking
soda is going to help to pull some

221
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,799
of the toxins from the skin,
so the magnesium then it relaxes the skin,

222
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,000
opens the pores. The baking soda
is kind of the tag team there

223
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:52,200
and then helps to pull some of
those toxins. So that can help reduce

224
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,039
some of that soreness as well.
And you can even throw a little vitamin

225
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,120
C in that bath too. For
ken, Vitamin C, corse it in

226
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,679
and magnesium are my go to the
pure essentials and it's phenomenal. I just

227
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,720
take the vitaminc out of the fridge, order a teaspoon. You know,

228
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:10,919
five personin and ta magnesium and I
know I'll be feeling so much better the

229
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,679
next morning. They're fantastic products.
Next question, Melissa, I know we

230
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,559
see a lot of products on the
market with collagen and you mentioned something in

231
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,480
that last response about vitamin C.
I don't know if it's versus collagen,

232
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,720
but can you talk about that a
little bit. Yeah, So it's really

233
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,720
difficult for our bodies to absorb collagen
when we ingest it in a food or

234
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,240
you know, when I say food, I mean like like a protein shake

235
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,399
or a powdered additive or something along
those lines. So for me, that's

236
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,360
kind of a waste. I would
rather take the vitamin C because it has

237
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,519
multi use to it and it helps
my body to produce the collagen that I

238
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:49,639
should be producing. Anyway, as
we age, there are things that just

239
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:53,240
don't happen like they used to,
and that's okay. There are supplements,

240
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:57,919
there are vitamins, There are mineral
rules that our body needs in order to

241
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,759
keep doing those things, and maybe
we need to take a little bit more,

242
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:04,759
and vitamin C is one of them. And speaking of taking supplements for

243
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,720
recovery, taking things on a regular
basis. We had somebody right in which

244
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:15,599
nutrient and supplements should be taken regularly
by most people. I would say everyone

245
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,400
could benefit from a quality multi vitamin. And when I say quality, I

246
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:26,839
mean the added junk. Look for
magnesium, steer eight, look for silicon

247
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,720
dioxide, look for titanium dioxide.
Look at the other's category underneath the supplement

248
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:37,119
fact panel and see if you have
all natural ingredients in there, or if

249
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,799
you have those big giant chemical words. Those are the words that we want

250
00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:44,359
to steer clear of. If they
don't come to you automatically, or they're

251
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,279
very difficult to pronounce, chances are
they are not very good for your body.

252
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,440
So a good quality multivitamin the fish
oil, I can't get away from

253
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,960
it. It just does so much
for us. A good quality Omega three

254
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:03,119
magnesium is always a good one.
It's alkalinizing inside our body. Our body

255
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,079
needs those buffering minerals just because of
the acid that gets produced in our system

256
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,240
for many reasons. For the food
that we eat, the amount of water

257
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:14,519
that we might not be drinking,
or the amount of coke, sodas or

258
00:18:14,519 --> 00:18:18,839
other sugary soft drink type drinks.
Those create acidic effects in our body.

259
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,839
I would say that magnesium is super
important for those reasons. Specifically, our

260
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,119
bones are where the minerals are stored. If we don't have magnesium to buffer

261
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,039
in our system, our body's going
to go looking for it, and it's

262
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:33,960
going to go to where it's stored
and it's going to rob the bones from

263
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,720
that, which then creates another situation
somewhere else down the line. So I

264
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:42,799
would say the magnesium vitamin C because
we can't produce it ourselves. Our body

265
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:48,880
does not make vitamin C. It's
not possible. So getting enough vitamin C

266
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,640
in for your body is going to
be different than from my body. So

267
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,359
getting that vitamin C in there is
also important. Figure out the vitamin C

268
00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:00,279
calibration would be important as well.
And I know our practice in the city,

269
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,920
we used to see a lot of
women coming in seeing they need calcium,

270
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,880
are taking calcium, and it was
like they could never take enough,

271
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,680
and really it was a magnesium deficiency
because you need the magnesium in order to

272
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,599
absorb the calcium. So to your
pointless, everything is a system to look

273
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:21,200
at your body from that perspective.
Magnesium is so critically important, definitely,

274
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,599
and you know Honestly, people don't
want to take I don't even want to

275
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,559
take tons of vitamins and minerals in
the supplement form, you know, So

276
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,920
finding the supplements that work for your
body, that meet your criteria of organic,

277
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,720
non gmo, enzyme rich, whole
food derived, you know, finding

278
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,920
that core that gives you the energy
and the vitality that you're looking for.

279
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,240
That's your core, that's your foundation
pack, and Pure Essentials can help with

280
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:51,079
that. With the Pure Essential Essential
Starter pack, there will be other supplements

281
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:55,599
that you're going to need for certain
periods of time to address whatever situation you

282
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,000
might have going on. Someone might
naturally just decrease in their vitamin D throughout

283
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,720
the winter. Maybe they live in
an area where there's not a lot of

284
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:04,799
sun, so they might need to
take vitamin D for that period of time.

285
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:11,359
Other people might have a gene that
prevents them from converting vitamin D from

286
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,640
the sun, so they'll always have
to supplement. I'm one of those people,

287
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:17,000
you know, It's the way that
I was made, So the vitamin

288
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:21,440
D is part of my core supplement
regimen as well. So taking a look

289
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,400
at specifics blood tests that can be
run all but five states in our country

290
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,359
allow you to order your own blood
work, so you can walk into a

291
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000
lab and you can say I would
like to check my vitamin D please,

292
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,039
and they'll do it for you,
checking your blood work. Instead of just

293
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,039
taking supplements that you read about somewhere, you know, do what's right for

294
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:44,559
your body. That's such an important
point that everybody's a unique biochemistry. Everybody

295
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,079
is different. What's healthy for one
person may not be healthy for someone else,

296
00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:51,880
so they get properly evaluated. To
figure out what's great for you is

297
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,319
so important. It's just to optimize
our health. And we are here on

298
00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:59,279
this show because of Pure Sounds.
That's something I've taken for years. Melissa

00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:02,680
has worked with it for years as
well, recommends it to clients, which

300
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,200
leads us to our last question.
We had somebody right in asking us our

301
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,119
pure essentials vitamins from a natural source, nature, identical, synthetic, strictly

302
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,559
synthetic, food based or by a
culture of fermentation process. Well, listen,

303
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:17,440
you want to answer that. I
want to answer that, and the

304
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:22,279
answer is yes, except for the
part that says strictly synthetic. Here essentials

305
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,160
supplements are all natural. They are
from natural sources. Meaning some of its

306
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:33,039
herbs. There's two different answers for
the food based. So there's food based

307
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:37,200
and there's food derived. So there
is a supplement company out there that does

308
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:41,440
food based supplements, which means that
that food is dehydrated. It's then you

309
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,519
know, processed, it's crushed,
it's pulverized, and that becomes the capsule

310
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,200
or it's put in the capsule,
or it becomes the tablet. Or supplements

311
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:56,119
can be food derived, meaning you
get this from this food, or from

312
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,440
this herb, or from this berry. You can look at the Pure Essentials

313
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,720
labels and I can tell you that
what's on that label is actually in that

314
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,519
bottle. The newly formulated products that
are coming out that have the mushrooms in

315
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:11,759
it, So we'll have a big
launch for those products when they come out.

316
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,960
But they say fruiting body, or
they say powder, or they say

317
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,359
mycelium. We put on our label
exactly where the food comes from, so

318
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,119
you can trust what's in the bottle
is actually written on the bottle. And

319
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,640
we do have one product that'll be
coming out later this summer that is from

320
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,519
a fermentation process, which is our
probiotic. Also looking forward to that,

321
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,519
we're using because they are non toxic. It's a low risk, high gain

322
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:40,640
approach. It's more of a holistic
look at lifestyle, at solutions of keeping

323
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,559
our bodies lively of healthy at any
age. So, Melissa, thank you

324
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:48,920
for answering these questions. It's a
great show. If you are eating in

325
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,960
a way that we'll actually fuel your
body. You're looking at meat, fruit,

326
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:57,880
vegetables, right, you're reducing the
dairy intake, you're reducing the grains,

327
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,039
you're reducing the cessed foods. Eat
the rainbow, We'll say, eat

328
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:06,480
the organic rainbow. There you go
organic, non gmo whole foods. And

329
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:10,960
I know in terms of chemicals,
we see things in not just in foods

330
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,759
in terms of colored and processing foods, but also there are certain dyes.

331
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,279
Most of those dyes, whether it's
FD and C red number five or yellow

332
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:23,160
six, Blue Lake, they're petroleum
based. Think about what petroleum is.

333
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,599
Is that something you really want in
your system? It's probably not red specifically

334
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,400
the question mark. Very honestly,
it might be new information to some people.

335
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,319
It's been happening for a hundred years, but it's made from a specific

336
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,880
bug, Carmine corneal. It's a
white bug that oozes red stuff and that's

337
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,960
where it comes from. Some people
might be familiar with. One of our

338
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,640
favorite coffee places actually had to take
a specific drink off of their menu.

339
00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:53,319
Last year there was a big expose
about using bugs to flavor people's drinks.

340
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,440
You know, I think they were
just kind of going with its natural because

341
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:02,400
it happens in nature, not really
thinking what the consumer was going to appreciate

342
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,440
or not appreciate about it. Those
colorings, the petroleum base is the bigger

343
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,440
issue than the bug is, right. I have a friend and a colleague.

344
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,759
He's a chiropractor in Indiana. He
was doing food and chemical sensitivity testing

345
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:18,839
on patients and this it was the
mom of a little girl. She hadn't

346
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,279
done her food and chemical sensitivity tests
yet, but this practitioner had started the

347
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:29,079
child on vitamin C flushes with our
famous vitamin C. And for those of

348
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,279
you that aren't aware, you can
calibrate your body's need for vitamin C by

349
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,319
taking it in a very specific ratio. So you know, someone in generally

350
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:42,359
good health that just wants to do
better for themselves would take one teaspoon in

351
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:47,079
six to eight ounces of water,
stir it up, let it dissolve litical

352
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960
clear all of those fun things,
drink that vitamin C water, and then

353
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,039
repeat that process every twenty minutes until
the body flushes. And what you flush

354
00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:59,920
is what's been hanging out causing issues. But more importantly, the processes use

355
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:03,720
to calibrate what your body's daily need
is. You want to make sure that

356
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,359
you're taking enough vitamin C but not
taking too much that you end up with

357
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,480
a bowetolerance issue. There's more information
