Hello, 7 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.640 and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific 8 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:45.039 director at Invite Health. Happy November to everyone. This is an exciting time 9 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.280 of year. You have the holidays right around the corner, and of course 10 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.240 we have to face the reality of what this weekend is, which is daylight 11 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.880 savings, so we will all be falling back tomorrow and that can definitely impact 12 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.120 your mood. I speak about this every single year because I was so impacted 13 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.120 by this growing up in Michigan, and this time of year, it really 14 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.680 just it put a damper on my spirits. And I'm generally speaking a very 15 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.319 upbeat person. As you probably can tell, I usually find that this time 16 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.319 of year. I'm doing much better with it now, and probably because I 17 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.760 live in South Florida, so we get a lot more sun than I did 18 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.599 growing up in Michigan. However, today it's kind of cloudy, dreary morning 19 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.239 here in South Florida. But that's okay. The plants need the plants need 20 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.799 water. My husband's been working tirelessly on our backyard, and our avocado tree 21 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.359 is looking beautiful. We're still having some struggles with our night jasmine, but 22 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:52.319 that's okay. Our lemon trees are looking great. So all is good in 23 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.719 my backyard. But nonetheless, we have daylight savings and so tomorrow, so 24 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.640 this is one point, take advantage of all of the daylight up there in 25 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.360 New York today, because tomorrow it's going to be darker an hour earlier, 26 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:15.319 and this really can affect your overall sense of well being. And we know 27 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.840 that about five percent, they estimate of Americans experience seasonal effective disorder, so 28 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.960 that's you know, a little bit more significant. But a lot of folks 29 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:29.599 do experience kind of that fall time blues. The weather's changing, it's getting 30 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.800 colder, you're losing that hour of daylight, and this can definitely impact the 31 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.680 way that you feel, and it's not just your mental wellbeing, this then 32 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.680 will affect your physical wellbeing. I always find it interesting. I remember listening 33 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:49.919 to a really great psychiatrist many many years ago at a conference, and that 34 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.639 was his point was, you know, it's amazing how in medicine and traditional 35 00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.439 medicine, how somehow the brain has become disconnected from the body. And it's 36 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.199 really true, Like if you think about that, it's amazing how we don't 37 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.960 recognize that gut brain connection still, that power of if we have gut dysbiosis 38 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.560 or imbalance of bacteria that's occurring in the intestines, how much that can affect 39 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.680 your mood. It can create anxiety, depression, and really affect the way 40 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.120 that the neurotransmitters are released. So it really is fascinating because I even look 41 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.000 back to when I was in medical school and I'm like, you know, 42 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.319 I think he's onto something. Somehow we have disconnected our brain from the rest 43 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.680 of the body, as though the brain is just doing one thing, We're 44 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.240 carrying that around you with us, and somehow the body is functioning in a 45 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.280 totally different way, and that's definitely not the case. Everything is interconnected so 46 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.639 if you find that during this week, maybe mid week is usually when most 47 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.240 people will start to feel those effects of the time change. If you fall 48 00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:00.960 into that category and you find yourself starting to feel a little lethargic, or 49 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.080 maybe you feel like your sleep quality has shifted a little bit, maybe you 50 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.759 have you know, you're trying to stay up later, and whatever be the 51 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.759 case, you just feel like your energy levels have kind of plummeted. Definitely, 52 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.560 stop by an Invite Health location, speak with one of our excellent nutritional 53 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.560 experts and they can help give you some guidance as to what you can be 54 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.319 doing during this time of year, because there are many nutrients that you can 55 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.920 turn to that give us a heightened sense of energy as well as well being. 56 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.199 And we can look at formulations like Rodeola extract. That's kind of my 57 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.439 go to because rodeola works so quickly. So if you know that you get 58 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.959 the fall time blues, get over to Invite Health. Do it today while 59 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.120 you have that extra hour of daylight. Our stores are open seven days a 60 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.160 week and pop in and get yourself some Rodeola. What's nice about rodeola is 61 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.319 you don't have to take it on a regular base if you don't need it. 62 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:08.600 But you can see the difference with rodeola supplementation almost instantaneously. So as 63 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.360 soon as you start taking rodeola, you're going to see that difference. You're 64 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.199 going to have that energy level start to come up. And remember this is 65 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.439 a non stimulant energy, so it's not like you feel like, oh gosh, 66 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.439 you know I took this Rodeola, I feel like I drank ten cups 67 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.600 of coffee. That's not what this is doing. So it's helping to balance 68 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.800 out your adrenal glands because it's a technically it's an adrenal adaptogenic herb. And 69 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:39.360 we know probably a lot of folks who are running the marathon will be turning 70 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:46.480 to some rodeola because it's wonderful for exercise endurance and for muscle recovery post exercise. 71 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.040 But it can really get you out of a bind if you're feeling like 72 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.800 you are dragging. So in any event, if this time of year and 73 00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.360 that loss of daylight really seems to affect you, we can help you. 74 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.079 You know, taking nutrients in like your Omega three fatty acids, fish oil 75 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.720 or krill oil advanced can be incredibly supportive to the way that we are kind 76 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.639 of navigating through this time of year. And remember, you should be taking 77 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.759 in omega three every day anyways, regardless of your health issues or concerns or 78 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.800 goals. Omega threes are so key to regulating inflammation in the body. So 79 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.879 we always want to make sure that our daily routine is consistent and omega three 80 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.959 should be part of that along with coenzyme q ten. I always say anyone 81 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:43.319 over the age pretty much of thirty years old should be supplementing each day with 82 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:48.000 coenzyme q ten. We know that coq ten is naturally made in the body, 83 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.959 and as we get older, the efficiency to which coke ten is made 84 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.120 begins to plummet a bit, and then we can look at other factors. 85 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.920 We can look at, well, maybe you're on a medication that's impacting the 86 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.959 way that coq ten is manufactured. And we know that statin drugs are a 87 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:14.040 clear indication of coq ten disruption, beta blocker drugs that so many individuals take 88 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.480 for high blood pressure, So there are many ways to which coq ten levels 89 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:25.399 can start to really diminish in a much quicker rate as we are growing older, 90 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.680 and we know that we have to have coq ten in the system for 91 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.519 all cells to generate up energy. If we don't have energy being produced in 92 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:41.279 the cardiac cells, for example, this is going to affect our circulatory function. 93 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:46.040 If we don't have adequate coenzyme Q ten in our neurons in our brain, 94 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.279 this can affect our sense of clarity, our memory, our focus, 95 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.399 our mood. So we always want to be able to zero in on this. 96 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.160 We know that as we get older, mitochondrial dysfunction it's a real thing. 97 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.120 That's a big technical term. But what the heck does that really mean. 98 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:11.040 Well, mitochondria is your little energy house inside of the cell, and 99 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:18.000 it is responsible for every day making energy. Now, as we get older, 100 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.199 the cell goes through many different changes and can get beat up and dinged 101 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:28.040 indented along the way, and the inner core of that cell can start to 102 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.200 be affected. Now, when that happens, the body struggles to technically make 103 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.000 energy. So if the cell starts to lose its functionality, it's like I 104 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.320 don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'm all beat up, I can't 105 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.320 make COQ ten, I don't know what to do. It just will start 106 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:50.799 to wither away, and this can lead to significant issues. So interestingly enough, 107 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.879 I actually want to share this with you. There was a study that 108 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.039 just came out and it caught my eye this week because number one, it's 109 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.960 an important study, but number two, I was like, well, this 110 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.200 isn't really new news. Like I'm glad that they're continuing to research this, 111 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.120 but this is something that we are well aware of. There have been numerous 112 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:18.200 clinical trials that have indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction or loss of cell energy production affects 113 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.559 so many aspects of our health and our life. And we know that if 114 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:28.840 we don't have the capacity, so say you're not supplementing with invite health ubiquinyl 115 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:35.559 coq ten each day to create more coenzyme q ten, then the body will 116 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.360 struggle. So when you're using ours, you know you're using the form of 117 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.360 coq ten that's already in its reduced antioxidant form, so it makes its way 118 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.320 into our bloodstream in its full potency, and that's really important for you. 119 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:58.360 And we use conica, So conica is the most well studied of all coq 120 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.080 tens that you can possibly take. And University of Texas they really got running 121 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.279 with the knica studies many decades ago in the setting of cardiovascular health. But 122 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.919 nonetheless, when you're supplementing with invite heuse ubiquinyl coq ten, you know that 123 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.080 that coenzyme q ten is making its way into your cells to drive up that 124 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.039 energy production kind of go in and wake up that mitochondria. But anyways, 125 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.039 there's this study that came out and I found it quite interesting because one of 126 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.840 the things that we know is that through looking at that combination, so we 127 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.919 look at the psychiatric components and the physical components. Remember the tour connected because 128 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:48.600 our brain is of course attached to our body. So we look at different 129 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:56.440 conditions and we can recognize where co q ten and loss of energy can start 130 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.039 to impact different pathways. And in the Plose one journal, which is a 131 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:09.919 really large research journal. You've probably heard me references Jerry Hicky reference this journal, 132 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:16.440 but Plose one is really large journal. And this study was looking at 133 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.679 the loss of function of sell energy production in individuals who have been diagnosed with 134 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:30.120 golf war illness. And we know that golf war illness is impacting over two 135 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:37.480 hundred and fifty thousand US veterans, and we also realize the long lasting impact 136 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:46.759 of that condition. So researchers were looking at the mitochondria in this study and 137 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.480 they said, well, it appears and this is done at Duke University in 138 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.919 combination with a couple of other research institutions out there, but in any event, 139 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.759 they were looking at the way in which the cell mitochondria of the immune 140 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.159 system, So looking at the immune cells, the way in which those have 141 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:16.720 lost their ability to generate energy, and seeing this direct causal connection between the 142 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:24.480 symptoms of golf war illness and no energy being made within that mitochondria. So 143 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.840 it's really quite fascinating because we know that if we have any type of energy 144 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.360 deficiency occurring in the body, this is going to start to affect everything blood 145 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:41.360 sugar process, your cholesterol of course, heart rate, blood pressure, and 146 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:48.039 cognition. So the researchers really zeroed in on this, and they were populating 147 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:54.799 data from the Veteran's Medical center and they could see the mitochondrial DNA damage that 148 00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.000 had occurred in all of these individuals, and through this analysis they said, 149 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.279 you know what we really need to zero in on is how do we drive 150 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.879 up energy? You know, how do we get these cells to function better 151 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.399 again. And the reason why I thought it was An interesting study is because 152 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.679 close to a decade ago there was a study that was conducted and published in 153 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.480 the Neural Computation Journal. So it's not as large as Plose one, but 154 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.720 nonetheless this was a randomized, double blind study where they took individuals who have 155 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.320 been diagnosed with golf war illness and they gave them coenzyme q ten supplementation, 156 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.360 and then they followed them over time and they were looking at their symptoms. 157 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.000 They were looking at these you know, low energy states, the anxiety, 158 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:46.399 the depression, and they found that through supplementation of co q ten this had 159 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.879 significant improvement upon their symptoms. So you have you know, over two hundred 160 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.919 and fifty thousand veterans that serve this country who are really struggling. And we 161 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.840 know that mitochondrial dysfunction or loss of cell energy production is the driving force to 162 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.200 this, and we know that there are solutions out there. We can look 163 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.960 at daily supplementation of taking ubiquitol coq ten with the NADH that we offer. 164 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.080 We can look at formulations such as ribose complex to once again drive up sell 165 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.039 energy production el CAR with ALA. So we have all of these answers. 166 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.679 We just need to get that information out there, But I just wanted to 167 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.960 connect those two studies together because it's interesting this new study just coming out saying, 168 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.120 hey, mitochondrial loss of function is making the symptoms worse in these individuals. 169 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.120 How do we regain control of making that energy? And then of course 170 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.840 there's already a study that's shown hey, COQ ten can actually do this. 171 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.200 So in any event, I know I need to squeeze in a quick break. 172 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.600 I have a lot to cover today, talking about mood, with the 173 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.559 change of time, all of these fun things that we have to cover. 174 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.720 Today's to stick around your listening to Invite Health Radio.

If you can't make it to a store, if it's 194 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:47.120 too difficult, maybe it's not close enough to your house time crunch, whatever 195 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.159 be the case, We've made this very easy for you to still have access 196 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.120 to our nutritional experts.

But in any event, 201 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.559 you want to make sure that your daily supplementation routine is geared around your specific 202 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.640 needs. And that's what makes us very unique. You know, we've been 203 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:26.160 on this radio station for many years talking about the benefits of all of our 204 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:32.599 nutritional supplementations, the wonderful formulations that Jerry Hickey has worked on and created for 205 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.039 all of these years. I you know, am working on many of the 206 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.079 formulations as well now. So we have the science part down. That's not 207 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.359 you know, an issue when it comes to the potency, the quality, 208 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.839 the way in which we formulate our products. It's all done in house obviously, 209 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.079 you know Jerry Hickey for years that was what he was doing. He 210 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.720 was, you know, behind the scenes, really creating all these wonderful formulations, 211 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:03.319 including that ubiquenyl coke ten with the NADH. So Jerry recognize the importance 212 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:11.440 of adding in that vitamin B three substrate to give additional support for the circulatory 213 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.680 system as well as helping that co Q ten make its way into the mitochondria 214 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:22.759 to generate that energy. So we have the science part down, but what 215 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:29.000 really makes Invite Health incredibly unique is the fact that for twenty five years now 216 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:34.519 we have nutritional experts who are there to help guide you. This can be 217 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.880 incredibly overwhelming, and we're talking about your health here. We want you to 218 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:45.039 achieve your wellness goals. And the fact that you can speak with the nutritionists 219 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.759 seven days a week and it's a free service that we offer is something that 220 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:56.160 I have to impress upon the importance of that because we are all individuals and 221 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:03.200 my daily supplementation routine is going to be completely different than somebody else's because my 222 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.400 needs are different. So you want to make sure that what you're doing every 223 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:15.000 day is what's fully optimizing your wellness. And this is why speaking to the 224 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:21.240 nutritionness is so important because we look at everything in totality. We look at 225 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:26.079 any underlying health issues that perhaps you're dealing with. Maybe you're a diabetic, 226 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.960 maybe you have high blood pressure. We want to understand you know, what's 227 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.960 your current activity level? You know, are you sedentary? Do you exercise 228 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.359 frequently? What's your sleep like? You know, do you wake up in 229 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.359 the morning and you feel well rested or do you feel like you're dragging. 230 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.119 We want to know what's your stress level like, because the more we understand 231 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:52.480 you, the better we can do on our end to personalize your supplementation routine. 232 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.720 So please take advantage of that. I can't stress that enough. I've 233 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.799 been doing this for so many years and it's always amazing to me how many 234 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:06.039 individuals I'll speak to who are trying really hard to do the right things and 235 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.200 maybe you know, missing a step here or there, so we are here 236 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.200 to help guide you through that. Do take advantage of that.

Save. For example, you're taking our 245 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.119 performance multivitamin, Well, you know there's thirty in a pack, so you're 246 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.440 gonna need one box each month. But let's say, for example, it's 247 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.519 our Biocircuman five locks in, which contains sixty capsules in that bottle. Well, 248 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.920 maybe you take two a day. Well, if you take two capsules 249 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.200 per day, that bottle is going to last you for one month. So 250 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.079 you want to make sure that the amount that is shipped out to you is 251 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:23.440 the correct amount. You may only take one capsule per day, in which 252 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.960 case you need to have one bottle shipped out to you every sixty days. 253 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.880 So talking to one of the nutritioness will allow you to have the proper amount 254 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.680 being sent out to you so that you're not you know, getting too much 255 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.920 and then stockpiling. Or perhaps you know you're taking three or four capsules of 256 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:48.240 the Biocurcumin five locks in per day, so you're gonna need two bottles each 257 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.200 month, so definitely talk to them so you can make sure that you have 258 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.480 your subscription plans set up the right way. It's important because you're investing into 259 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.799 your health. I always say that when you are pro active in your own 260 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.960 health and you're investing in your health, you want to make sure that you 261 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.319 are not, you know, doing things the wrong way. You want to 262 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.839 make sure that you're very efficient so that you can get the you know, 263 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:17.839 real benefit out of your daily supplementation routine. So that's just a little fun 264 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.039 fact. Another study that came out that I thought was quite interesting and it 265 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.799 was on strawberries. This was out of the University of Cincinnati. So go 266 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.960 Bearcats. As you know, it's football Saturday for me. So you know, 267 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.920 I'm a Michigan fan. You know, Michigan's in some hot water right 268 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.720 now. Oh goodness. It doesn't change the fact that I'm still a Michigan 269 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.599 fan. I hope everything works out. I don't know what in the world 270 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.279 is going on over there. But nonetheless, it doesn't change the fact that 271 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.640 you know, these are young collegiate athletes and you know, anyone up at 272 00:22:52.680 --> 00:23:00.400 the top. Whatever foolish things that they were doing and potentially illegal things that 273 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:07.720 they were doing, doesn't take away the hard work and dedication and the passion 274 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.079 that all of those athletes have, So you know, it's it's one of 275 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.200 those things where you know, I can't, you know, turn my back 276 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:19.240 on Michigan because I do have so much faith in all the players themselves. 277 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.400 And that's that's why I became a Michigan fan so many years ago. It's 278 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:27.000 not about the coaching staff, It's about the players. So you know, 279 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.839 I hope people can keep that in mind because you've seen this throughout you know, 280 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.480 Ncuba play in basketball, and it's like, you don't want to turn 281 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.640 on the players. It's not the player's fault, you know, if the 282 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:44.240 coaches are doing bad things with recruiting or whatever. But anyways, I will 283 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.559 be watching Michigan later tonight. They're playing Purdue, the Old boiler Makers. 284 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:56.160 But this study out of University of Cincinnati is looking at strawberry consumption, which 285 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:02.240 is really fascinating because you've heard us talk about fruit extracts on this show quite 286 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.160 frequently. Maybe we're talking about the purples HX and the power of all of 287 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:15.799 those anthocyanins contained in the purples that help to enhance cognition, healthy blood flow, 288 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.279 oxygenation to the brain. We know, blueberry extract has been studied and 289 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:26.119 shown to be very powerful for brain function. They've done functional MRIs where they 290 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:30.720 can actually see in real time what's happening in the brain, areas of the 291 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.000 brain that are actually working much better when it's exposed to blueberry extract. So 292 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:44.279 we understand all this, But this study is actually on strawberries and strawberry consumption 293 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:49.119 being able to reduce dementia risk. So I was like, okay, well 294 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:55.000 this is interesting because we know strawberries are you know, berries are always good 295 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.039 for us. Anytime we can adhere to a Mediterranean style way of eating is 296 00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.559 always a plug. We should be all eating at least one cup of fruit 297 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:08.680 per day and two cups of vegetables each day. Unfortunately, most Americans don't 298 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.000 do that. How do we know that? Well, University of North Carolina 299 00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:18.240 said only twelve percent, twelve percent folks of Americans are metabolically healthy. That's 300 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:25.000 just a crying shame. Thank you ultra processed foods. So try to avoid 301 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.400 ultra processed foods. Eat whole foods. But we know that strawberries. If 302 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.720 you're eating strawberries, that's really good for your teeth. I know. Jerry 303 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.759 has talked about this probably many times on this show. We know that having 304 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:44.559 strawberries in the diet can actually help break down plaque build up. The Journal 305 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.640 of Operative Dentistry many years ago looked at, you know, strawberry consumption that 306 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.480 when people are eating a lot of fresh strawberries, how beneficial that was for 307 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:59.640 you know, periodontal disease and helping to minimize plaque build up. And at 308 00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:04.680 the same time time gave you nice bright pearly whites because it the different anthosyonins 309 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:10.559 within the strawberry actually helped with like a natural polishing of the teeth. So 310 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.599 interesting. But nonetheless, this study out of University of Cincinnati is looking at 311 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:22.799 how daily strawberry consumption could actually reduce the risk of dementia. And this was 312 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.880 done through the College of Medicine, their Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, 313 00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.039 and they said, well, we know that blueberries, for sure, you 314 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.359 know, have been shown to slow the rate of cognitive decline that's associated with 315 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.400 aging, and it's you know, due in part to all of these powerful 316 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:45.759 anthoscionins that are contained in this But what about strawberries. Let's take a look 317 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.519 at strawberries and see if this helps. And you know, they looked at, 318 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.480 you know, so many of the problems that are occurring in this country 319 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:59.559 on a public health standpoint with pre diabetics and you know, insulin resistance and 320 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.960 seeing those impacts that that actually makes on the health of the brain. So 321 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.240 it's not just the cardiovascar system, but also the health of the brain. 322 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:14.599 And through their studies of giving individuals who were presenting as pre diabetics, so 323 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.200 they had elevated triglyss rides, they had high blood pressure, they had they 324 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:23.640 were overweight, and they of course had insulin resistance. So giving them strawberries, 325 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:29.759 just having them eat strawberries every day, so one cup. Remember this 326 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:32.400 is what we're supposed to be eating one cup of fruits per day. So 327 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:37.519 having them consume strawberries one cup per day for twelve weeks and then having them 328 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:42.759 do these different cognitive function tests, they saw a significant improvement. Not only 329 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.680 was it on like functional memory, for short term memory, for recall, 330 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:53.680 for the learning processing center, but what was really fascinating was for individuals who 331 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:59.480 were enrolled in this study that had mild depressive symptoms at the beginning, they 332 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.519 saw a significant improvement in that, so eat your strawberries. It's just an 333 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:10.480 interesting little take on that. But if you're interested in making sure that you're 334 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.680 getting adequate exposure to anthosignans, you know we've got you covered. We've got 335 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.400 to have our reds AcHx. REDS is loaded down with those fruit and vegetable 336 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:25.119 extracts. There's over forty different fruits and vegetables contained in the reds HX, 337 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.640 which is partnered up with those healthy bacteria, so it has a probiotic blend. 338 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.359 So it's a really good choice to have, especially during this time of 339 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.319 year, because it helps to energize the cells. It's helping with brain health, 340 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.359 memory, cognition, focus, cardiovascular health, and of course your immune 341 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.559 system. So it's cold and flu season. Anytime we can get additional probiotic 342 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.160 into our system, it's always a good idea. So I'm looking at the 343 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.599 clock. I know I need to squeeze in a quick break, So stick 344 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.960 around with me.

Exciting time up there in New York. 359 00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:10.440 Have the marathon coming up. That is one thing I would not do. 360 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.480 I am not a runner. Definitely not my cup of tea. And this 361 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.680 is an important point to make because when you speak with our nutritionness and we 362 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.680 talk about you know, what's your physical activity level. You know, what 363 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:27.000 type of exercise do you do? I always encourage people find an exercise or 364 00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:32.079 something that you know gets you up and going that you actually enjoy doing. 365 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.759 Don't sign yourself up for something that you know you're not gonna stick with because 366 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.160 you know it may be a great idea and then you don't do it, 367 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.839 and then you guilt yourself. So find something that you enjoy doing. For 368 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.640 me, running is not my thing. I'm just not. I never was 369 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:55.440 big into running, you know, doing sprints here and there, Okay, 370 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.480 I was alright with that, but like long distance running, no, not 371 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.319 my thing. But I give people who enjoy doing that good for you because 372 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.680 you're out there and you're exercising. But you definitely want to try to identify 373 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.079 something that works for you. People always laugh when I say I enjoy hula 374 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.319 hooping, but I tell you what, that is a workout if you hula 375 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:19.319 hoop, and it's very difficult. I always say to be stressed out, 376 00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:23.240 and you know, have your mind racing when you're hula hooping, because all 377 00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:29.640 you think about is keeping that hoop on your hips. So Redshex, that 378 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.640 wonderful combination of your fruit and vegetable extracts, you get the probiotic in that. 379 00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.920 This is a really good choice to do for little ones. Maybe you 380 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.720 have concerns, maybe you have, you know, a young child, or 381 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:48.480 you have a grandchild and you are concerned about their nutritional intake. We know 382 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:53.640 that unfortunately in this country, because of our rate of consumption of ultra processed 383 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:59.680 foods being what it is, we are definitely taking in And I say we 384 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.119 not personally myself because I've been adhering to a Mediterranean diet for so many years 385 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.920 now, so when it comes to ultraprocessed foods, I don't really have any 386 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:14.920 ultra processed foods in my diet. But we know, unfortunately that most Americans 387 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:20.920 do consume at least sixty percent of their daily calories coming from those ultra processed 388 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:25.359 foods. And that's not just adults. We're seeing that impact in you know, 389 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.119 children and adolescents. So we have to do better in terms of the 390 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:34.799 foods that we're eating every day. But knowing what we know, knowing that 391 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:39.839 we're not getting adequate exposure, the redshax is a really nice addition for you 392 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.599 know, say a parent wants to take a scoop of that red zhax. 393 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.359 Add that in with some organic apple sauce or organic yogurt. It's a really 394 00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:52.559 good way to give those little ones of those key vitamins and minerals and that 395 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:58.440 probiotic because you know it's that time of year and so we always want to 396 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.559 look at different nutrients that we can turn to. Obviously, we have our 397 00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:07.119 brand new Immunity multi vitamin that Jerry Hickey formulated, So the Immunity Multivitamin is 398 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.519 a great thing to be taking during this time of year. Taking one packet 399 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.640 each day, that's going to give you the comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals. 400 00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:22.240 So those bioactive B vitamins that are so important for our immune health. 401 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.039 We's like to stress that because I feel like our poor little B vitamins they 402 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.079 get left out in the cold when it comes to the immune system. And 403 00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:37.119 B vitamins are really critical for immune function. So they're important for detoxification every 404 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:44.319 day. They're important for the way our neurotransmitters are released or feel good neurotransmitters. 405 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.799 So getting those bioactive B vitamins is part of your daily multi very helpful. 406 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.720 And then this also contains carotinoids so you get that wonderful blend to not 407 00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:59.559 only help your eyeballs from you know, staring at your cell phone all day 408 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.359 or sitting in front of a computer, but then it's enhanced. So Jerry 409 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:06.759 looked at this formula and said, well, you know what can I use 410 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.760 in this to really give the immune system an extra boost. And so we 411 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:16.119 knew for years that the nucleic acid, the nucleotide complex that we offer was 412 00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:21.000 always our go to. Myself and Jerry Hickey, both of us like, 413 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.559 you feel like you're coming down with something, you get your nucleotide complex. 414 00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:28.280 And so he said, well, I want to put the nucleic acids right 415 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.880 into the multivitamin, and I was like, that's a great idea. And 416 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:38.039 then partner that up with Elderberry extract because we know the science on Elderberry extract 417 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:43.519 when it comes to immune function, and it helps with the regulation of a 418 00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:50.920 healthier immune system response, especially the initial immune system. So the immune system 419 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.000 is in two different parts. You have the immediate and you have the delayed. 420 00:34:54.639 --> 00:35:00.039 So the Elderberry extract works really well with our immediate immune system response. 421 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.719 So this is a great choice to take during this time of year, cold 422 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:09.239 and flu season, take one packet of the Immunity multi vitamin each day. 423 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:15.719 Get that power of the elderberry extract and those nucleic acids and let them go 424 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.480 to work in helping to enhance your immune defenses. So you always want to 425 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.599 be proactive in this setting instead of reactive. Now, there are times where, 426 00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.480 of course, you can be doing everything right. You're sleeping good, 427 00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:34.079 you're managing your stress good, you're eating well, you're taking your supplements, 428 00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.840 and you can still get the common cold. We understand that that's you know, 429 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.599 that's life. But there are many things that we can do to minimize 430 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.159 that risk. And you know, taking things like green tea. The green 431 00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:52.159 TETX is a really lovely formulation, especially during the fall and the winter. 432 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.920 And with that you can take that either cold or warm, so and or 433 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.599 hot because I get that question, you know, well, if I make 434 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:06.360 it as like hot tea, is that going to somehow disrupt or degrade the 435 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:08.559 power of the green t extract? And no, it's not going to. 436 00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:16.039 So our green TTX is a powerful amount of EGCG, and EGCG is the 437 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:22.840 main caatekin that has been researched and shown to be so clinically effective when it 438 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:28.280 comes to immune function. And we know all of the other ways to which 439 00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:30.280 green tea is beneficial too, and I'll get into that in just a moment. 440 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:35.559 But the green TTX this is a great choice. And the way I 441 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:40.880 advise taking it is you do two full droppers into about four to six ounces 442 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:45.000 of water, and like I said, drink that room temperature cold or hot, 443 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.519 doesn't matter. And if you want to do that twice a day, 444 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.840 you can certainly do that. So two full droppers, though, is what 445 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.280 my advice is. And you want to add that with water because I have 446 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.519 folks who say, oh, can I take that straight? It's very bitter, 447 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.199 So I mean you can, but it's very bitter. So you want 448 00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.719 to, you know, add it in with some water so that you sip 449 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:09.519 on it as though it's just a nice, healthy beverage that you know, 450 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:15.480 you're swapping out something like a sugar water that perhaps you are drinking, you 451 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:19.079 know, any of those coffees with the you know, whipped cream and all 452 00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.559 of that. That's not doing anything for your immune system. It's not. 453 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:28.559 But the green TETX will. And we know that there is extensive research that 454 00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:34.239 has been conducted over the past probably four decades now and really fast tracked in 455 00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:38.960 the last two decades on green t extract and green tea in particular, so 456 00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:45.280 widely consumed throughout the globe, I mean tea's you know, tea consumption is 457 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:50.880 global. But looking at the medicinal benefits of tea and so you have these 458 00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:52.559 researchers. They always want to get under the hood. They want to know 459 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.280 more about this, like how the heck is this stuff actually working. And 460 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:01.360 one of the things that we found through through all of the different scientific research 461 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:08.199 was that one of the most unique functions of green tea and the EGCG itself, 462 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:13.719 which stands for epi gallo catokin gayelate. If you want to make that 463 00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:20.119 your word of the day, so epi gallo katokin gaylate. That is what 464 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:24.840 EGCG is. But one of the most unique functions that they recognized about the 465 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:36.519 EGCG was that it was highly effective in turning off this component, this molecule 466 00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:45.639 known as HMGB one. So HMGB one stands for high mobility group box one. 467 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:49.880 But what does that actually mean for all of us? What do we 468 00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:53.679 really need to know about HMGB one. Well, we know that HMGB one 469 00:38:54.559 --> 00:39:04.199 is going to be a powerful releaser or cytokines so inflammation. So even if 470 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:09.119 we're thinking about sinus issues and why when people get sinus congestion, well, 471 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:14.920 it's because of this over release of cytokines that is occurring. And this is 472 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:21.880 all powered up because of HMGB one overload. So Green Tea can come along 473 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.840 and turn that switch off and say no, we've had enough of your cytokine 474 00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:30.719 release. You need to play nice. And so when people are supplementing with 475 00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:38.760 EGCG, they start to see these significant differences, which is why Green Tea 476 00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:45.320 extract has even been studied and shown to be highly effective for folks who are 477 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:52.400 dealing with arthritis because it can turn off that inflammatory switch in such a powerful 478 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:58.639 way. So it's been studied in ra so rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis. 479 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.519 We have our green capsules as well. So maybe you're not a fan 480 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.159 of the liquid, that's okay, we've got you covered. I remember are 481 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:10.960 Green Tea capsules that packs a very high amount of total EGCG. But then 482 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:19.039 it's actually enhanced once again because it's partnered up with theoflavins and the theoflavens are 483 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:25.119 a primary caatekin that is derived from black tea, So it's a primary antioxidin 484 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:30.079 that's coming from black tea specifically. So if you really want to you know, 485 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:37.440 pack a punch with targeting inflammation, the Green Tea HX capsules very good 486 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.199 option. Now, how many of those should you take a day, Well, 487 00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:44.440 it really kind of depends. For the most part, most people will 488 00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:49.920 take one capsule per day of the Green Tea HX. There are times where 489 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:54.920 we will advise taking two. It really once again, it's a personalized approach 490 00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:02.960 to supplementation. For men who are using Green extract for prostate support, there 491 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.079 are times where we may say take two, you know, one in the 492 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.480 morning, one in the evening for general wellness. For the you know, 493 00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:16.960 targeted aspect for inflammation, generally one capsule per day. But once again, 494 00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:21.880 you want to talk to one of our nutritionness. But in any event, 495 00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.840 we know that if HMGB one, if this you know switch is turned down 496 00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:31.159 and we have all of this inflammation that's occurring. This has been linked to 497 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:38.320 several different chronic disease states. So we can look at conditions such as diabetes, 498 00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:45.760 heart disease, inflammatory bowel issues such as Crohn's disease, alternative colitis, 499 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:52.000 asthma. All of these have a linkage to HMGB one overload. So that 500 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:57.599 HMGB one switch is turned on and we have no way to turn that off. 501 00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:02.199 Then that's a big problem because we're gonna have a very difficult time overcoming 502 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.960 that level of inflammation. But yet we know that EGCG can go in and 503 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.960 say, oh, heck, I left this light on, let me turn 504 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:15.079 that off. And this is why we look at green tea in the light 505 00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:20.960 that we do, because it does have so many powerful effects to it, 506 00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:23.719 and it's not just oh, well, green tea for its medicinal benefits. 507 00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:30.400 No, we actually know the mechanism of action to which green tea is working, 508 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.960 kind of like we can see the mechanism of action of how theoflavins are 509 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.920 working. They gave theoflavin extract to individuals and they found that through consumption of 510 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:45.679 theoflavin extracts, it actually lowered C reactive protein levels. So for folks who 511 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:54.039 are dealing with higher CRP levels and cardiac related conditions, that the theoflavins actually 512 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.719 lessened that inflammatory load, which is very important. So I remember, if 513 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.440 you want the benefit of both, you use the capsules that's the Green t 514 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:08.079 HX gives you the EGCG plus the THEA flavins. Or you can use the 515 00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:13.599 liquid tincture that we offer, which is the Green Tea TX, and that 516 00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:16.280 you take two full droppers, add that in with about four to six ounces 517 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.960 of water. Sip on that once or twice a day. Gives you really 518 00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:25.559 nice coverage when it comes to enhancing your immune defenses. So I have a 519 00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:29.440 few more things that I want to talk about when it comes to Green Tea 520 00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.760 and some other supplements available at Invite Health that I do need to squeeze in 521 00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.559 one last break, So stick around with me.

But back to 541 00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:17.840 Green Tea, so we know we now understand the mechanism of action. The 542 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:24.280 British Heart Foundation, they had a fascinating study that they did in twenty eighteen 543 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:32.039 showing the benefits of EGCG when it came to cardiac function, hence the British 544 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:40.119 Heart Foundation. But they could see how the EGCG was actually minimizing the plaque 545 00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:47.599 build up within the circulatory system. So so many studies conducted on green tea. 546 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:57.000 The American College of Nutrition, their Division of Preventive Medicine at Harvard was 547 00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:07.360 looking at the association between EGCG and individuals who were dealing with insulin resistance type 548 00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:15.000 two diabetes systemic inflammation, and they could see a direct correlation between the consumption 549 00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:22.639 of green tea and improvement on those inflammatory markers. So once again it makes 550 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:27.239 sense. We know the mechanism of action. We can now see how it 551 00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:32.039 is that the EGCG coming from green tea is actually working, and it does 552 00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:39.360 wonders. So study after study continue to impress upon that green tea extract can 553 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:45.280 really help with the reduction of inflammation in every single system in the body. 554 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:51.880 The Nutrition Research Journal in twenty twelve talked about this. They did a double 555 00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:55.880 blind placebo control trial where they took a group of individuals who were overweight. 556 00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:00.599 This was men and women overweight that had high levels of it inflammatory markers, 557 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:06.000 so they had elevations in glucose, they had elevations and C reactive protein, 558 00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:13.559 tumor necrosis factor alpha and giving them just green tea whaila. So it's it's 559 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:17.360 always fascinating to me when you can see studies on things that come from nature 560 00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:22.199 and how beneficial they are. I mean, we know the cognitive benefits studies 561 00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:28.000 that have been conducted with green tea extract when it comes to cognitive function and 562 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:31.400 improving memory, and this is something that we should all have concerns about. 563 00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:36.400 You know, we should all be thinking about the aging process of the brain 564 00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:42.719 and what we can do better in terms of our diet and lifestyle modifications to 565 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:46.320 improve the quality of brain function. Because remember, the brain is attached to 566 00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:50.119 the body, so we don't want to isolate it and think, ah, 567 00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.800 this is separate, you know, just because I have a sore knee that 568 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:55.639 has nothing to do with my brain. No, everything is interconnected. So 569 00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:02.360 if you have arthritis which is driving up inflammation within your joints, that inflammation 570 00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:09.280 can be affecting the brain as well. We don't want to have unchecked neuroinflammation 571 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:15.280 occurring. So this is why your omega threes are very important because omega threes 572 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:21.920 help to regulate inflammation and they have those resolvins in those protectings, those pro 573 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:28.760 resolution mediators in them. So daily supplementation of that is very, very helpful. 574 00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:30.800 I know in the last show I talked a bit about an acetyl systein, 575 00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:37.880 but NAC has also been shown to be very helpful for the aging brain 576 00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.679 because it's helping to heighten the level of glutathione production, so helping to protect 577 00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:47.880 the brain cells from the effects of aging. And we know there's many things 578 00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:52.920 that can influence or accelerate the aging process. We don't want our brains to 579 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:58.239 be shrinking down as we grow older. We want to maintain brain volume. 580 00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:00.360 So I know a lot of this is dietary driven, which is why they've 581 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:07.199 done studies showing brain volume in individuals who you know, adhere to a Mediterranean 582 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.360 diet versus those who eat predominantly a Western diet. And you can see the 583 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:15.880 Western diet folks have, you know, shrinking brains where someone who has a 584 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.960 Mediterranean diet nice full brain. Well, we need a nice full brain for 585 00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:23.079 the brain to function, and we need to make sure that we've got nutrients 586 00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:28.519 that can help to promote energy within the brain. So we look at formulations 587 00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:34.719 like the l CAR with ALA. We all have heard the many ways to 588 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:39.960 which acetyl L carnatine and alfalopoic acid are important in the human body. We're 589 00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:45.000 talking about these are endogenous nutrients. The alfalopoic acid is one of the key 590 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:52.960 antioxidants in the human body. It also helps to stabilize alfalopolic acid helps to 591 00:49:52.079 --> 00:50:00.400 stabilize our other antioxidants, so it works kind of as like a protector for 592 00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:05.360 vitamin E, for vitamin C, for coenzyme Q ten, for glutathione. 593 00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:13.440 So taking alfhalopoic acid has this finite ability to not only generate up a higher 594 00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:19.679 antioxidant capacity just from the alphalapoec alone, but it helps to encourage the stabilization 595 00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.920 of your other antioxidants, which is why it makes it such a great formulation. 596 00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:28.719 And then that's partnered with acetyl l carnatine. Now, what makes l 597 00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:35.679 CAR so interesting is we're taking the amino acid carnatine, but we have this 598 00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:39.440 acetylated group to this, and once you have that acetylated group to it, 599 00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:45.480 it has this really easy path to make its way into the brain, so 600 00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.199 it has to cross the blood brain barrier. So that's why when you use 601 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:53.440 acetyl L carnatine versus just straight L carnatine, you get all of these brain 602 00:50:53.599 --> 00:51:00.320 and cognitive benefits. And there are so many studies that have been conducted at 603 00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.760 this point in time on acetyl carnatine when it comes to memory, when it 604 00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:09.199 comes to nervous system health, and of course it's still the amino acid carnatines, 605 00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:14.119 so we know what that function is. So if we're taking it because 606 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:16.800 we want our muscles to recover, because maybe you're running the New York City 607 00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:21.960 Marathon and you want to recover quick, so we can turn to the l 608 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.239 CAR even for that benefit as well, because it's going to help to generate 609 00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:34.119 up greater ATP production. So once again we're trying to avoid mitochondrial dysfunction. 610 00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:37.320 Talked about that study with golf war illness, and one of the areas that 611 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:43.239 they recognize is that loss of function within the cell. So we know that 612 00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:49.320 el CAR really can help to encourage better energy production, which is important for 613 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:52.000 you, important for me, it's important for all of us. We need 614 00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:58.239 to be able to make sure that the carnatine itself, which one of its 615 00:51:58.559 --> 00:52:02.760 jobs is to grab onto the fatty acids, the healthy fatty acids that are 616 00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:07.559 kind of hanging out outside of the cell, and it helps to drive them 617 00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.639 to the inner core of the cell, to the mitochondria. And now the 618 00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:14.519 mitochondria says, oh, thank you so much, I'm going to make energy 619 00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.800 with that. So we know that if we take the acetylated form, we 620 00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:23.159 can now drive energy into our neurons, into our brain cells. So this 621 00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:29.360 is what is so incredibly fascinating. And then you start to look at the 622 00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:36.159 multiple clinical research trials done on al CAR and how it's working to activate the 623 00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:40.079 brain, how it's working to promote better focus and cognition, and of course 624 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:45.000 it works as a protector for the nerve fibers as well, so if we're 625 00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:51.599 dealing with any level of nerve pain or neuropathies, l CAR with ALA is 626 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:58.800 quite healing and it allows for better function once again, and then of course 627 00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:02.360 you look at, you know, the other side benefits. Always talk about 628 00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.199 side benefits of nutrients, but one of the nice things about al car is 629 00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:13.840 that it works as a natural thermogenic agent, so it helps with fat burning. 630 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.800 So It's always amazing when people start using our l car with ALA and 631 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:20.599 maybe they're like, well, I just had concerns about brain health, or 632 00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:23.400 I had concerns about, you know, just my memory, so I started 633 00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:29.280 taking l CAR with Ala, or maybe you're dealing with some diabetic neuropathy, 634 00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:31.840 so you start taking el car with Ala. And then they come back and 635 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:35.960 they say, you know, I feel like since I started taking this product, 636 00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:38.679 I am you know, losing a little weight. And this is something 637 00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:45.599 that we know about acetyl alcarnatine is that has these natural thermogenic properties to it. 638 00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:49.079 Now, what's the best way to take this product? Well, being 639 00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:52.760 that it's an amino acid, the rule of thumb is we generally want to 640 00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:58.280 take our amino acids on an empty stomach, So getting up first thing in 641 00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:00.920 the morning. And this is fine if you you already have your green TETX 642 00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:05.360 on board, or if you're drinking some coffee, you can still take that. 643 00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.920 We're just talking about away from food, so you can, you know, 644 00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:12.400 sip on your coffee or your green TTX and take your l CAR with 645 00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.760 Ala. Generally speaking, we'll do two, so two tablets first thing in 646 00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:20.679 the morning, about a half an hour at least before you eat any food. 647 00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:23.400 Now, say, for example, you're like, I have to get 648 00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:25.639 up in the first thing I have to do is eat. Well, that's 649 00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:30.760 okay too. You can wait, you know, for about an hour after 650 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:34.320 you eat. Then take your al car. Now, do we have some 651 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:38.760 individuals who will be taking two capsules twice or two tablets twice a day? 652 00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:44.559 Of course, and once again it's that personalized approach. I have some individuals 653 00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:47.760 where I have them taking one tablet three times a day, where I actually 654 00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:52.000 separate it out. But ideally you want to take this away from food, 655 00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:58.199 So a good half an hour before you eat or at least one hour after 656 00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:00.639 you eat, because we want and yield the benefits. We want to be 657 00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:08.760 able to allow that powerful blend, the alphabopolk acid, the acetylelcrnatine to do 658 00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:15.159 what we know it can do.
