Gary, did you know I 61 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.439 thought of you in that way? 62 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.319 I was like, are you talking about me? Really? Thank 63 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.480 you so much for having me on as a guest. 64 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.639 I really do appreciate the opportunity and delighted that you 65 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:53.040 have brought your experience, education, and life affirming ideas you 66 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.720 know to this podcast. So thank you for having me on. 67 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.319 Fantastic Thanks again, Gary. Everyone, we're going to die right 68 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:06.360 into it. Remember if Gary hadn't seen the first podcast, 69 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.040 I set this up to just be very relaxed here Gary, 70 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.279 we're just having a conversation. This is a of course, 71 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.199 people go to their primary care practitioner, but there's so 72 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.279 much information and here we get to break it down 73 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.360 and have a conversation conversation one with another. So let's 74 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:31.639 dive in nutraceuticals one oh one. So that sounds like 75 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.399 a Universe University course, doesn't it. Gary. You you get 76 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.639 a few minutes just to explain to the audience what 77 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.199 is a nutraceutical? How is that different from a vitamin 78 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.560 and mineral that they would get just anywhere on any shelf. 79 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.959 We're not gonna call any names. 80 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.639 Yeah, I would say just disclosure. Obviously you have announced 81 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.160 that I do work for a nutraceutical company that is 82 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.000 designed for health, do not make any medical claims. So 83 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.920 I'm happy to have the you know, a wonderful conversation 84 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.480 because so many people today are looking for solutions to 85 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.879 their health outside of maybe the traditional route. But yeah, nutriceuticals, 86 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.920 they're really they're products that are derived from food sources, 87 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.199 and they tend to offer additional health benefits beyond like 88 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:30.199 your basic nutritional value. So simple vitamins like vitamin A, 89 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.360 the B, vitamin C, et cetera, on their own, you know, 90 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.680 a lot of people are taking those more as a 91 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.839 foundational health they feel they need them. But a nutricutical, 92 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.319 in my mind, tends to aim to prevent or treat 93 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.240 specific diseases and obviously, you know, to ensure that we're 94 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:56.000 looking towards optimal health, you know, overall health. And so 95 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.959 they do include as an they're more suticals is kind 96 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.040 of like an umbrella term. I would still say that 97 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:11.920 it generally includes those dietary supplements like functional foods, medicinal 98 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:17.839 foods as well, but it would also tend to include 99 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.800 the vitamins and the minerals, herbal products, probiotics as well. 100 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:29.959 Right, you know, I'm sorry, Gary, please go ahead. 101 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.800 Just that I feel that a nutriceutical is sort of 102 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.519 an elevated product, and I think, you know, we're probably 103 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.839 going to get in a little deeper. 104 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.800 We are, Yeah, we are. You said something that's very, 105 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.680 very important, and it's that nutraceuticals is an umbrella term. 106 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.120 I know we've all talked about this before on the show. Gary. 107 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.319 You know people are seeing that term pop up, but 108 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.040 what does it really mean? Well, Gary just explained it everyone, 109 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.160 umbrella term. Can you just tell me what's the functional food? 110 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.560 Because I know that there are incredible functional foods out there, 111 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.720 certainly through designs for health. What's the functional food description? 112 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:11.199 Well? 113 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:18.399 Yeah, it takes many different forms, but like your greens powder, 114 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.120 your reds powder, you know where they're high in antioxidants. 115 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.879 Those would be two perfect examples that I think most 116 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.120 people are aware of. Like I come from Ireland, I've 117 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:33.960 visited the US and Canada, like I don't know, thirty 118 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.559 forty years ago and I was saying greens powders then 119 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:41.120 and it was the new big thing and you know 120 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.200 where today it's just you know, everybody's drinking greenspowders, but 121 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.039 functional foods with like for designs for health. We also 122 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.759 have meal replacements, so high quality protein powders that are 123 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:59.559 so clean along with vitamins, minerals and overall nutrients to 124 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.480 ensure or that you're meeting the needs of individuals that 125 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.559 are either living a busy life and they just want 126 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.679 to have something that they can put in a blender 127 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.879 bottle and drink for lunch. But more importantly, people that 128 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.679 might you know, after an operation and you're you're just 129 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:23.279 not feeling that you want to eat a full meal, 130 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.360 that this ensures, you know, that you have something that 131 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.480 you can drink that's going to give you, you know, 132 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.960 again a proper protein level and all the nutrients, the 133 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.200 vitamins and the minerals that your body is desiring and 134 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.240 needing at that time. And certainly people that are on 135 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.279 you know, anybody that's told to take products like ensure, 136 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.559 for example, I would look for a functional food like 137 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.879 from a nutriceutical company instead, so that it doesn't contain 138 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.240 you know, like sugar and other ingredients that again are 139 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.960 not optimal getting you to where you want to be 140 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.399 in your health as fast as fast as possible. 141 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.480 Perfect. That was again excellent, and thank you everyone.

So thank you for breaking 147 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.679 down functional foods. And by the way, if anyone wants 148 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:41.360 to get a hold of me through this show, Wisdom 149 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.720 at Walk with Wisdom dot ca is the best way 150 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.639 to get a hold of me. Wisdom at walkwi Wisdom 151 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:55.000 dot ca. That's my email. I do life coaching, nutraceutical coaching, 152 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.360 and so this is one way to get a hold 153 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.120 of me and any of the guests who have come on. 154 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.960 If you have further questions, Gary's not going to talk 155 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.159 about him specifically, you go through me because I know 156 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.080 all these things that he's talking about and have used 157 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:17.399 them and love them. Gary. Next question, so you actually 158 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:22.080 covered a lot about nutraceuticals because for instance, I well, 159 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.919 one thing, maybe you can go in a little bit 160 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:29.279 deeper because you're giving everyone a foundation of what's coming next, 161 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.679 which is protocols that we're going to put together. By 162 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.480 the way, we've been talking about a specific phase of 163 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.279 youthful aging GARY, which is menopause, and I don't like 164 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.799 to leave the men out manopause, which is really anenterpause. 165 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.720 We know all of it, but I think menopause. I 166 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.960 heard that term and I love it. So a lot 167 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.759 of what we're going to talk about, we're going to 168 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.399 put together protocols eventually to help our audience get to 169 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.320 where they need to get through through through this stage. 170 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.360 One of the questions that I had is where can 171 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.360 you find a nutrireceuticle? So we talked about, you know, 172 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.240 the difference. Can someone just go in anywhere or do 173 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.720 they have to come through someone like me? Or certain 174 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:19.279 types of pharmacies, where can they find your your nutraceutical 175 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:21.120 for instance a Dfhe. 176 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.559 Yeah, So would you mind if I take a step 177 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.159 back and just maybe explain the difference. Would I feel 178 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.840 like a nutroceutical and a product that's available at a retail. 179 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.080 Store, Absolutely please? 180 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.039 Yeah, it'll just lead it lead. Yeah. So I get 181 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.720 asked all the time, why would I buy a product, 182 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:52.399 you know, from a nutraceutical product that compared to you know, 183 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.320 something that I can buy at Costco or like a 184 00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:02.840 leading high street pharmacy for example. So with nutraceuticals, what 185 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.960 I truly believe is, you know, you're dealing with companies 186 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.279 that are truly looking at the purity and the potency 187 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.879 of the individual ingredients that are going into the product, 188 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.559 and that you have the correct form. And I do 189 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.480 tend to say, like with magnesium, that's a good example. 190 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.320 If you know, I was that guy on the street 191 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.840 that didn't know anything about nutraceuticals, and if somebody said 192 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.440 you should take magnesium, yeah, I would have gone to 193 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.120 the high street store and looked at magnesium and gone, 194 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.840 this is the cheapest one. You know, it's magnesium, I'll 195 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.200 grab it. And then you know, like this is a 196 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:42.879 conversational topic. So I go and buy let's say, a 197 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.600 magnesium sitrate powder, and I take maybe a little bit 198 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.559 more because I think I need more magnesium. And then 199 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.039 magnesium citrate is going to move your bowels, so the 200 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.360 next morning you're going to be very busy in the bathroom. 201 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:59.720 So it's it's without the proper you know, indications for products. 202 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.159 It's so necessary to understand what you are buying. So 203 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.000 purity and potency, you know, so it shouldn't. Each product 204 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.519 should include active ingredients at the amounts stated on the label, 205 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:19.639 without any contaminants like heavy metals for example, pesticides, harmful microorganisms, 206 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:24.360 et cetera. Again, quality ingredients, looking at manufacturing standards. So 207 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:30.480 typically you would have like three ingredients should be brought 208 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.960 into an independent lab for testing before they get anywhere 209 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.799 near the company's facilities, and if they meet, you know, 210 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.679 very high standards, then those ingredients get shipped out to 211 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:48.840 the manufacturing facilities. They should be quarantined in their lab 212 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.879 before they get access to the main building. If they 213 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.399 pass the company's standards, they would go into the manufacturing process, 214 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.799 and then the final product is tested again, because you 215 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.279 really truly need to ensure what I've just said that 216 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.759 the dosing on the label is actually showing through, you know, 217 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.879 in the finished product. So that would be a Designs 218 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.559 for Health way of looking at quality. So that there's 219 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.639 three key steps that need to need to be covered. 220 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:28.120 Clinical evidence as well, transparency. So reputable brands really should 221 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.679 have no problem talking about where ingredients are sourced from, 222 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.679 talking about their manufacturing processes, talking about why they put 223 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.279 certain ingredients in a product, and then obviously, you know, 224 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:44.879 being compliant with regulatory associations or the government, you know, 225 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.639 whether you're in the US, Canada, et cetera. So so 226 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:54.519 vitamins like what you buy in retail stores typically are 227 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.720 lower dosing and are not really designed. They're not nearly 228 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:04.200 as absorbable or what we say, bioavailable. And even though 229 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.120 you might be paying a little bit more buying a 230 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:12.639 true nutraceutical product, I truly believe you're getting so much 231 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.919 more absorbed that you know, taking a product from a 232 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.919 retail store, you're not getting the same dose. So if 233 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.120 you truly want, you know, to be cost effective, buying 234 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.440 the cheaper product is generally not the right answer. Taking 235 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.840 a good quality product, even if you need to take 236 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.759 a lower dose because you know, for you to meet 237 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.600 your budget, you know, take one every two days instead 238 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.600 of one every day, you know, but at least you're 239 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.840 going to be getting, you know, like those ingredients actually 240 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:46.600 being absorbed at a very high level. So your original 241 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.240 question was back to where can you buy them? So 242 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.159 a company like ours would tend to work mostly with practitioners, 243 00:16:54.200 --> 00:17:01.240 so naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, registered helistic nutrition so you 244 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.440 must have a license and be certified in order, you know, 245 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:10.599 to open an account. But you will find, like pharmacies, 246 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.920 people are looking for more access to these high quality 247 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.039 products that make claims, that are allowed to make claims. 248 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.359 And so we have found that working with pharmacies and 249 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.200 registered holistic nutritionists gives us an option of in some instances, 250 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.279 you know, as long as there's staff on the floor 251 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.920 that have a certification on the I mean on the 252 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.920 floor of a store obviously not lying on the floor, 253 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.480 you know what I. 254 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.079 Mean, And. 255 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.720 So you will so mostly as I said, it has 256 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.559 to be in a location where you have a certified practitioner, 257 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.039 be it a pharmacist or a registeredlistic nutritionist. 258 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.319 Fantastic, Thank you Gary. That is perfect timing. Everyone. We're 259 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.759 going to take a break and we're going to come 260 00:17:59.799 --> 00:19:46.759 back from after a short word from more sponsors.

Gary's here 268 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.359 to give us the expertise on a lot of what 269 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.519 we use to get through that, which is nutraceuticals, and 270 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.559 he has some of the best. There are many companies, 271 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:31.720 but I really like a lot of what Gary has 272 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:37.039 from his nutraceutical company. Now, Gary mentioned so many things 273 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:42.759 in the last section. Please email Wisdom at walk with 274 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.119 Wisdom dot Ca and I will be able to answer 275 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.640 any of your questions. Bruce again is joining us, and 276 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.480 it's really Bruce and I that's going to help to 277 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.559 really decipher put toget us. Some protocols do more one 278 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.720 on one. So Gary, thank you again for coming back 279 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:06.160 what Bruce and I talked about, which was so incredibly 280 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:12.680 brilliant because of the stage menopause, menopause, it's so huge. 281 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:16.440 Then there's the Perry stage, and you know what I'm 282 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.519 going through. Everyone, I go to everybody I know and 283 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.279 these brilliant men in my life with their wisdom and 284 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.759 go help me. I'm really hot. Now Gary has heard 285 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:27.799 way too much information about this stage. So this is 286 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.359 what Bruce said to me, which was amazing, and we 287 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.559 started there. You have to deal with the gut. We 288 00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:37.319 want to go to the symptoms. Of course we're having 289 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.799 the hot flashes, weight gain, all of that, but if 290 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:43.359 your gut isn't in a state where it helps to absorb, 291 00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:47.000 break down all this information a pardon me, break down 292 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.559 all these nutraceuticals. It doesn't matter how bio available, et cetera. 293 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.839 You've got to start foundationally. So what I wanted to 294 00:21:54.920 --> 00:22:03.759 ask you is about nutraceuticals for digestive support within the 295 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.720 context of we're going to go to menopause. Menopause, but 296 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:12.039 what do you see is amazing in general for people 297 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.359 for gut health from designs for health. 298 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.279 It's a really good question. Thanks for asking it. Yeah, 299 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.799 whether it's hormones or brain health or performance or whatever, 300 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.240 the gut is central. And if the gut is off 301 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.720 a little bit, you'll definitely feel it. You know, whether 302 00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.920 you're sluggish or you know you're not sleeping well, or 303 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.279 skin issues, it does. It truly affects everything. So I 304 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.599 would definitely say most of us will have some sort 305 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:49.720 of an inflamed intestine. We most of us might not 306 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.640 even notice anything, you know, wrong, but generally you know 307 00:22:53.680 --> 00:23:01.200 that that dyspiosis or that inflammation of the gut could 308 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:05.160 show itself, you know as again pain in the gut 309 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:09.960 that could ultimately, you know, cause nausea and stomach. There's 310 00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.759 a thing called leaky gut where you know, food is 311 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.720 sort of getting trapped but not being absorbed. You know, 312 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.200 the nutrients, et cetera not able to be absorbed. So 313 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.519 products that like Designs for Health you know, would offer 314 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:28.799 and that I regularly, you know, will use myself. You 315 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.359 cannot get away with something simpler than like eld ludamine powder, 316 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.680 and that's you know, a wonderful you know, it will 317 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.720 help to take down the inflammation. So whether you're looking 318 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.640 to take down the inflammation in your stomach or in 319 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:46.519 your gut, generally, you know, you could be taken anywhere 320 00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.920 from like fifteen hundred to five thousand milligrams per day. 321 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:54.640 But our big formula at Designs for Health is GI 322 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:56.000 Revive powder. 323 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.920 So it's yes, it's sorry I had to say that 324 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.440 aimen to that. This is sad to say that A 325 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.480 to that, Yes, everyone gr revive And I know because 326 00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.359 I've used Gary's products and I've Bruce and I have 327 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.400 dealt with thousands really of patients if they're coming from 328 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.440 their natural path or medical doctor customers. And we also 329 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.680 have our own coaching practices. As you know, Gary, we've 330 00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:22.880 dealt with a pleasora of people across the board. And 331 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.960 I know your GI Revive I had to jump in. 332 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.880 Is really a great foundational resetting your gut product and 333 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.599 why does it work so well well? 334 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.559 But i'd even going into the ingredients. I always talk 335 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.240 about the fact that number one, we talk about delivery systems. 336 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.240 So that's as simple as saying it comes in the 337 00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:47.359 form of a tablet, a capsule, a powder, a liquid, 338 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.200 a soft jail. So GI Revive is a powder. It 339 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.960 can be mixed in water, so you're not adding anything 340 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.279 inflammatory that is going to make your inflamed gup even worse. 341 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.039 It stays very watery, which is nice. It has a 342 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.079 peach flavor, so most people are going to like drink 343 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.200 it and go, oh this is not bad. This is 344 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:15.440 actually going to help heal me. But overall, I think 345 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.400 if you look at the formula, it's heavily biased towards 346 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:24.599 anti inflammatory ingredients, and those are going to as you 347 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:26.640 drink it. You know, I always like to have the 348 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.640 patient think about the how it's mode of action, how 349 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:35.559 it's working on them, and as you drink it, you know, 350 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:39.839 those inflammatory ingredients are crossing the intestinal barrier and they're 351 00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:44.319 starting to heal the gut from within. But while that 352 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.400 is happening, it doesn't happen overnight, but it's relatively fast. 353 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.680 That inflamed gut is still going to be sore, and 354 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.200 when stool is passing, et cetera, it's still going to 355 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:59.839 cause that pain. So you want mucilaginous ingredients and that's 356 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.119 one of the big pieces of this ingredient, this formula 357 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:08.160 as well. So those mucilaginous ingredients coat the intestinal lining 358 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.480 and so as students passing it, just it takes the 359 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.640 edge off and it really starts it sort of calms, 360 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.200 you know, the gut lining. And then I'm. 361 00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:24.480 Jumping about the mucilogenous ingredients and this is something that 362 00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:28.640 I'm building on. So Bruce and I had talked about 363 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:33.160 this and the women know, especially for us girls, usually 364 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:39.160 we are constipated boys, yeah, you get there, but across 365 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.200 the board from a very young age, women are constipation constipated. 366 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.799 So that's what I found Gary and I can talk 367 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.839 to This is that it just softens the stoolents so 368 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.240 many women and men, but certainly the girls, especially going 369 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.039 through the change metopause and having that IBS or constipation. 370 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.480 This is a great ingredients, So please continue mucilaginous ingredient. 371 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.119 And I interrupted, no, Well. 372 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.519 The last thing I would say is we do have 373 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.880 prune and pectin in the formula, and those are there 374 00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:16.839 to help with regularity, and so it's sort of it 375 00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:20.799 seems to just bring into balance the IBS and IBD. 376 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.000 So it doesn't make if somebody has diarrhea, it doesn't 377 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.880 make it any worse, it doesn't, you know. But if 378 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.000 it's constipation, it tends to just regulate as opposed, you know. 379 00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:36.759 So I always say, you know that this is one 380 00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:41.599 of my biggest selling products. And the nice thing about 381 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.799 it is it literally is one tub will work. You know, 382 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.680 it'll be like a one month supply. But most the 383 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.000 majority of people just need one tub and then they 384 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.839 can a lot of people might buy a second one 385 00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:58.000 just in case they have a flare up, but it's 386 00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.079 not something you need to be on long term. That's 387 00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:01.759 the nice thing. 388 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:05.759 That is the nice thing. And so one thing that 389 00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:11.400 I I know that I say to patients, clients, customers, 390 00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:14.920 They ask, well, how long is this going to take 391 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.359 to work? And this is everybody knows this. Now you 392 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:23.599 get to hear it here, Gary, I have little words 393 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.359 of wisdom or little stories or little sayings, and one 394 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.400 of my sayings is the bell curve of life. So 395 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.880 everything falls on a bell curve. So when someone asks like, well, 396 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:35.319 how long is it going to take to work? And 397 00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:37.400 as you say, you don't have to do it for 398 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.559 a long period of time. It really depends on you. 399 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.880 And so ten percent will go, oh, my gosh, I 400 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.720 was fixed in seven days. Ten percent will say, you 401 00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.519
