Welcome to Invite Radio. You're 6 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.480 about to receive responsible, life changing information on health and nutrition. 7 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.359 You'll hear from Invite professionals who are leaders and targeted 8 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.079 and anti aging nutrition. Get ready for tomorrow's nutritional science 9 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.480 today right here, right now. 10 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.640 Hello, and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor 11 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.880 Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health, so pleased to 12 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.719 be joining you on this Saturday morning, and I hope 13 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.920 everyone is prepared for what is ahead, which is the 14 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.039 time change. Yes, folks, it is that time of year 15 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.560 we will be falling backs. So I thought it would 16 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.040 be fitting to talk about different nutrients that can really 17 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.480 help to support our energy and our mood. This is 18 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:14.280 a big problem that exists for so many individuals as 19 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:20.439 we get into daylight savings. And I know personally myself, 20 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.200 I was always heavily affected by this. I don't find 21 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.159 it to be as problematic now that I live in 22 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.760 Florida but definitely growing up in Michigan, I was impacted 23 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:40.120 for days, for weeks when daylight savings would occur. I 24 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.239 like to see daylight. It's just something that I enjoy. 25 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.959 And I know I'm not alone in that. There is 26 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.719 seasonal effective disorder, which I will talk about in some 27 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.239 detail today, but there's also the wintertime blues. And I 28 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.239 know that you're thinking, oh, don't use that word, don't 29 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.200 use winter, but it is literally right around the corner 30 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.079 this time too. You know, we're now into November, so 31 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.840 we have the holidays coming up, so that can drive 32 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.599 up people's stress as well, so we kind of fast track. 33 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.000 It's like we lose the hour of light. But we 34 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.439 also generally, for the most part, as a society, we 35 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.719 have a higher amount of stress. So I want to 36 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.319 talk about nutrients that can help to facilitate better energy 37 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.960 each day, support our immune system, and improve upon our 38 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.319 mood because we don't want to walk around and be 39 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.520 all hum drum just because it's getting dark early. So 40 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.840 I will talk about all of these things today. But 41 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.759 there's been a lot of research in the past month 42 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.319 in particular, and even in this last week that Zero's 43 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.879 in on vitamin D so I want to talk about 44 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.159 some of those because, as you know from me as 45 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.479 well as Jerry Hickey on this program, we talk a 46 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.479 lot about the importance of vitamin D and how vitamin 47 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.159 D is technically a hormone and through its interactions in 48 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.639 the body, it has these different receptor sites. It's really 49 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.439 important that we understand that vitamin D is so critical 50 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.960 to so many functions each and every single day, and 51 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.439 when looking at this in the big broad picture of 52 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:33.120 vitamin D, we certainly know that vitamin D influences pretty 53 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.639 much every single system in the body. So while vitamin 54 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.520 D was always kind of just touted as your bone 55 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.919 health vitamin, we now recognize that it does so much more. 56 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.560 So I want to talk about this really interesting study 57 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.520 that came out, and oddly enough, it was published in 58 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.479 the Engineering Journal, which I found quite fascinating. I'm like, 59 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.759 why the Engineering Journal, Like why are engineers looking at 60 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.319 vitamin D? But in any event, I'm going to talk 61 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.280 about this. Now. Many years ago, I was doing a 62 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.039 radio show and I had an expert who came on 63 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.319 and we had a great conversation about the importance of 64 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.879 vitamin D. He was a trauma surgeon and he started 65 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.920 to recognize that when people were presenting to the trauma 66 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.120 unit and they had perhaps a car accident, they had 67 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:31.120 a head injury, he found that there recovery rates were 68 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.439 greatly impacted based upon their serum vitamin D levels. So 69 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.800 we got into a lot of the details of how 70 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:42.800 vitamin D is actually working as a neuroprotective agent, and 71 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.480 we also talked about it's important for muscle health and 72 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.720 recovery the immune system. So it was a very enlightening 73 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.439 conversation that we had. But this is why I always 74 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.480 stress that it's so important that you get your serum 75 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.000 vitamin D level tested at least once a year because 76 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.240 there's not a magic number. There's not a age based 77 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.600 or sex based amount of vitamin D that one should 78 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.360 be taking. Now you can look at the RDA, which 79 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.839 is the recommended daily allowance and say, well, this is 80 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.439 how much you know, the government says I should be taking. 81 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:27.759 But it's not accurate and there's many reasons why someone 82 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.199 may need a higher amount of vitamin D. Let's look 83 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.720 at the first point our diet. Our diet does not 84 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.240 give us a great enough exposure to vitamin D, and 85 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.240 people oftentimes think, oh, well, my food's fortified, so I'm 86 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.240 probably getting adequate vitamin and mineral exposure. You're not. So 87 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.519 let's just put that out there, which is why taking 88 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.720 a comprehensive multi vitamin multimineral each day is so critical. 89 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.519 And I will get into one of our multize today 90 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.079 that I have on special But if you look at 91 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:07.000 the National Institute of Health and even the Linus Pauling Institute, 92 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:14.600 that they can tell that Americans fall well sure of 93 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.000 getting the adequate amount of vitamin D in their diet 94 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:25.920 each day ninety percent failure. So that means when you 95 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.439 are eating your foods each day, you're only getting about 96 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.600 ten percent of what you should be getting when it 97 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.160 comes to vitamin D. So if the diet is technically 98 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.480 ninety percent deficient in vitamin D, well, then no wonder 99 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.560 why we have so many individuals who have, if not 100 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.600 vitamin D deficiency, they certainly have vitamin D insufficiency. So 101 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.079 insufficient levels of vitamin D is when your level falls 102 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.319 just below the baseline of normal, but it's not quite 103 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.399 to the detrimental point of being deficient, and that's where 104 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.480 most Americans are. Most Americans are sitting at this level 105 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.680 of being insufficient. And I always go back to the 106 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.879 banking analysis. It's like having a dollar in the bank 107 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.839 or one hundred dollars. You'd rather have one hundred dollars. 108 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.800 So same thing with your vitamin D. This is why 109 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.279 get your vitamin D level tested. I know this can 110 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.319 be an argument with doctors and they say, oh, it 111 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.360 doesn't matter, it does. It matters to your health, It 112 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.399 matters to your wellness. So now let's look at this 113 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.680 study that came out because I think that this is 114 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.160 one of those reinforcing facts that we know about vitamin D. 115 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.759 There's so much research out there, and as I mentioned, 116 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.040 this came from the Engineering Journal, so who knows how 117 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.720 many doctors are actually reading this one. But nonetheless it 118 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:56.360 made major news headlines and they did a meta analysis. 119 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.360 Now I really enjoy looking at meta analysis because what 120 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.319 that is in a scientific research base way is it's 121 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:11.319 populating the data the findings from multiple clinical research studies 122 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.319 that all have the basic same data points that they're 123 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:21.720 looking at. So they populated all of these randomized, placebo 124 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:26.639 controlled trials that have been published, and through this they 125 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:33.200 looked at ninety nine ninety nine different studies and they 126 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:39.399 were assessing what it meant to have adequate vitamin D 127 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.759 levels to our health. And in looking at this research, 128 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:49.720 they could see this direct correlation between vitamin D levels 129 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.080 and cardio metabolic health outcomes. So let that resonate just 130 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:59.960 for a moment, because ninety nine studies that this metaanale 131 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:04.360 else is looked at found that when people had good 132 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.720 vitamin D levels, they had a lowered risk of heart 133 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.559 disease as well as diabetes. So if you want to 134 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.720 be dismissive to the importance of vitamin D at this 135 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.720 point in time in our world, when we have this 136 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.440 much research out there that shows how it is that 137 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:29.120 vitamin D is working, you really need to take some 138 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.519 time and just do your due diligence, do a little 139 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.360 research look at vitamin D and why vitamin D matters 140 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.679 so much. Now to today's topic and talking about daylight 141 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.720 savings and energy levels going down, we know that vitamin 142 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:49.080 D also plays a role into this. In the Journal 143 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.080 of Medicine in twenty sixteen, they looked at this. They 144 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.919 looked at how vitamin D three makes an impact on 145 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:02.000 an individual's energy levels and your self perception of feeling 146 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:07.120 fatigue or just feeling lethargic, just no energy. And through 147 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.960 this particular study, they did a once again a randomized, 148 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:17.000 double blind, placebo controlled trial, and they were looking at 149 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:23.000 the impact of daily supplementation of vitamin D three when 150 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.200 it came to treating fatigue. And so these are individuals 151 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.399 who had low serum blood levels of vitamin D three, 152 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.799 which is twenty five hydroxy vitamin D. That's the name 153 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.440 of it, So if you do have the blood test 154 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.720 on that's the test name. It's called twenty five hydroxy 155 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:47.000 vitamin D. So they enrolled all these individuals who have fatigue, 156 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.120 have low vitamin D and then they started to give 157 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.840 them vitamin D supplementation. Now, remember there's a placebo group, 158 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.360 so there's a group of folks who were tired, you know, 159 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.919 feeling lethargic, have no energy. They got just the sugar 160 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.080 pill and then the other group was given vitamin D 161 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.720 and then they assess this over the course of one month. 162 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.080 That's the duration, just one month, and in that one 163 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.240 month of taking vitamin D they could see a substantial 164 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:23.639 change in these individuals energy levels. So do not be 165 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.399 dismissive to the role that vitamin D plays and the 166 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:34.360 importance that vitamin D has. I am fascinated every day 167 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.720 when I go through and I look at all of 168 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.759 the different research studies that come out, and you know, 169 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.600 just this week there was a really fascinating study that 170 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.000 was published in the journal of the American Medical Association 171 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.919 Ophthalmology WING where they were looking at curcumen being incredibly 172 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.679 helpful in the setting of age related macular degeneration. So 173 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.000 for all of you invite help listeners out there who 174 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:06.000 are taking our Biocurcuman five locks in formulation that contains 175 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:11.879 BCM ninety five. That's that registered trademark form of Kirkuman, 176 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.559 meaning it's a higher absorption form of Kurkuman than you 177 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:21.600 can find in a standard tumoric extract. You are winning 178 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.600 when it comes to your eyehealth. So this was a 179 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.679 fascinating study once again where they could draw this correlation 180 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:34.840 between Kirkman intake and the protection that that led for 181 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.159 eye health. And we know that age related macular degeneration 182 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:44.440 is a significant problem and is the primary cause for 183 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.919 going blind and losing your central vision.

Happy Saturday morning to everyone. Have 238 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.000 a lot of sports going on. I'm sorry for you 239 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.480 Yankees fans. I'm sure some of you are still feeling 240 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.600 the effects of that loss, but hey, Alesia made it 241 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.000 to the World Series. I'm a Tigers fan, so I 242 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.639 got over my baseball blues a couple of weeks ago. 243 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.919 But for you Yankees fans, I'm sure it's still resonating. 244 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.759 But there's always next year. As I always say as 245 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.399 a sports fan, we have the New York City Marathon 246 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:49.399 happening tomorrow. For any of anyone participating in the marathon, 247 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.519 or if you know someone who is going to be participating. 248 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.480 Make sure that today, before they get ready for their 249 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.399 run tomorrow, that they they head over to Invite Health 250 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:07.799 and they get the greens achecks. They get themselves some 251 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.640 energy achecks. But the greens is really important because it 252 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.240 also has that probiotic in it. And we know that 253 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:20.200 there is this really pronounced window after someone runs a 254 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:25.680 marathon where their immune system takes this tank and so 255 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:31.079 they're the viral exposure at that point in time for 256 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:37.319 respiratory infections is really high in marathon runners. This is 257 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.000 oftentimes something that they don't, you know, talk about when 258 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.400 they're showing the marathon. But because of the amount of 259 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.880 stress that the body is going through, the immune system 260 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.599 really takes a hit in this twenty four to forty 261 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.319 eight hour post running that marathon. So say someone runs 262 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.799 the New York City marathon and then they're around a 263 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.680 bunch of people and someone's sneak, they're more prone to 264 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.680 coming down with that virus. So you want to make 265 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.480 sure that you are supporting the immune system and the 266 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.920 greens AHX helps to re energize. It has all of 267 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.079 those fruits and vegetables, has forty fruits and vegetables and 268 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.599 that along with different herbs. You get chlorilla and spiralina 269 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.319 to help to optimize sell detoxification, and you get the 270 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:30.559 probiotics which helped to go in and recolonize the microbiome 271 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.640 of the intestine. So taking a couple of scoops if 272 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.160 you're running in that marathon of the greens AcHx would 273 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.759 be incredibly advantageous. So that's just a little tip for 274 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.559 anyone who is going to be participating in that. You 275 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.480 can also use the reds HX as well, also has 276 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.160 that wonderful probiotic blend in that and you get a 277 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.759 powerful amount of carotenoids with the reds HX. The carotenoids 278 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:01.640 that is coming from those orange and red pigmented fruits 279 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.039 and vegetables and very helpful for the health of your 280 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:09.519 eyes as well as for your brain and brain connectivity. 281 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.359 We always want to stay sharp. That's something that I 282 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.279 think is quite important. So I want to talk about 283 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.720 seasonal effective disorder. But just one other thing on vitamin D. 284 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.400 This was a study that was published just at the 285 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.759 end of the month of October in the Diseases Journal. 286 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.640 I have this whole catalog of different studies that I 287 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.359 always want to talk about on this program, but I 288 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.599 only have a limited amount of time. But this one 289 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.799 I thought was interesting. I just wanted to mention this 290 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.319 because this, once again was a meta analysis. They were 291 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:52.079 looking at seventeen randomized controlled trials of men between the 292 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.559 ages of twenty years old and seventy two years old, 293 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.680 and the association here that they were looking at was 294 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:08.119 vitamin D levels and testosterone and they could see this 295 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.440 direct correlation. Guys, so listen to this one because maybe 296 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.039 you're out there and you're like, I'm losing muscle mass 297 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.480 or I just don't have the same libido or drive 298 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.559 that I once used to have. Listen to this study. 299 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.759 If you have low vitamin D levels, this will have 300 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:33.079 a direct impact on your testosterone production. So think about 301 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.799 that just for a moment. Say you're walking around and 302 00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.960 you have absolutely no idea what your vitamin D level is. 303 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.160 You've never had a blood test done, so how do 304 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.359 you know should you be supplementing with vitamin D. The 305 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.240 answer would be a resounding yes, of course you should be. 306 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.839 How much do you take? It really depends, Like I said, 307 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.720 there's a lot of different factors that can influence how 308 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.880 vitamin D is absorbed. If you have low magnesium status 309 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.119 in your body, you're going to have a more difficult 310 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.359 time absorbing vitamin D. This is why taking vitamin D 311 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.640 and magnesium together oftentimes very good idea because we know 312 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:13.119 that about seventy five percent of Americans don't get adequate 313 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.720 magnesium from their diet. We know ninety percent of Americans 314 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:21.200 do not get enough vitamin D. So this is a 315 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.039 critical point because a lot of times men struggle with 316 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.119 this as they're growing older, and even men in their 317 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:31.440 thirties and forties where they can see some of the 318 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.480 effects of having low testosterone, and we always have to 319 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.559 look at sometimes the obvious. So if we can address 320 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.519 the vitamin D, many times this can help to autocorrect. 321 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:46.359 So just a little fun fact there for you now, 322 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:54.079 seasonal effective disorder. We have to be able to understand 323 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:59.480 that this is a real deal thing. Many times people 324 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.960 don't about it, and you might be one of those 325 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.759 people out there listening right now, where you know you 326 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.640 kind of have this sense of dread because you know 327 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.000 tomorrow you're gonna get up and by the time it's 328 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.480 dinner time, it's going to be dark, and you try 329 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.640 and tell yourself this okay, and then come Wednesday of 330 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.880 next week, you go, oh gosh, you know, I just 331 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:24.559 feel like my energy levels are down in the dumps. 332 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:31.880 This is real seasonal effective disorder winter blues. It exists. 333 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:39.519 The statistics on this is I always say, not exactly 334 00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.000 accurate because there are so many individuals. I look at myself. 335 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.559 For example, when I lived in Michigan, I definitely was 336 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.400 someone who could be categorized as having seasonal effective disorder, 337 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:53.839 but I was never diagnosed with the X. I never 338 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.319 went and sought that out. I just struggled through the 339 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.200 fact that I was bummed out that we didn't have 340 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.640 as much daylight. So there's so many individuals who deal 341 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.119 with this, and we know that in the Midwest and 342 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.000 in the Northeast the prevalence rate is much greater than 343 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.240 you find in southern states. So knowing this and knowing 344 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.680 that you can have you know, upwards of ten percent 345 00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:24.200 of the population who is really impacted by this. You know, 346 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:30.359 feeling a sense of just kind of hopelessness is oftentimes 347 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.319 how people will describe this time of year, like I 348 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.880 just I just don't want to do anything. I feel 349 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.839 down in the dumps. We don't have to succumb to this. 350 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.759 We know that there are so many different things that 351 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:50.680 we can turn to, and when looking even at vitamin D. 352 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:55.079 Once again, we have seen studies in the Journal of Nutrients. 353 00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.640 They looked at the role of different vitamins, including vitamin 354 00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.680 D and the prevention and treatment of seasonal effective disorder. 355 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.920 So I know I've talked quite a bit about vitamin 356 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.039 D today, but it just reinforces why vitamin D is 357 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:15.039 so important and why we should never overlook vitamin D 358 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:20.319 and daily supplementation of vitamin D three. So D three 359 00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.519 is the active form, because sometimes people will ask me 360 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:25.759 that one what's the difference between vitamin D two and 361 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.160 vitamin D three. D two is plant based, so that's 362 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.319 what comes from things like mushrooms, eggs for example, that 363 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:38.400 has vitamin D two and then it converts in the 364 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.599 liver and then in through the kidneys. Not to get 365 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.720 too technical on that, but there's a conversion that happens 366 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:49.799 from ergo calcipherral, which is vitamin D two into coally calcipherral, 367 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.839 which is vitamin D three. So when we're supplementing, we 368 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.240 ideally want to take that active form, so D three, 369 00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.240 but we know that you know, just depression overall is 370 00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:07.599 definitely a concern, and they are estimating that globally unipolar 371 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:12.920 depression will increase by the time we hit twenty thirty. 372 00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:18.079 Now here's a little interesting fact. You know, we're just 373 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.680 not even six years out from that time. We also 374 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:27.680 know that they are forecasting that the rate of obesity 375 00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:35.079 and diabetes will increase in that same time span. It's 376 00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:40.960 estimated that more than fifty percent of the American population 377 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:46.279 will be clinically obese by the time we hit twenty thirty. 378 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:52.000 And we know the correlation between obesity, diabetes, other chronic 379 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:57.720 disease states, and mood disorders including depression and anxiety. So 380 00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.839 through this study that published in the Nutrients Journal, they 381 00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:06.079 found this direct evidence that supports the role of B 382 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.799 vitamins and vitamin D in preventing and treating depression. So 383 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:16.519 I have our methyl B on special today. The methyl 384 00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:20.119 B is the bioactive B vitamin complex that we offer 385 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:26.200 that has methycobolomin has methyl folate. You get trimethyl glycine, 386 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.160 which will help your body produce additional gluet to thione, 387 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.640 which is key because if we make more glue to 388 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.160 thione we're helping our liver detoxify. Now, your B vitamins 389 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:43.359 play a very critical role in many different functions in 390 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:47.880 the body, keeping our nervous system healthy, turning our foods 391 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.480 into energy, helping with our vision with our immune system. 392 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.079 We know that most people will look at vitamin B 393 00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.000 B twelve in particular and say, okay, it's for energy. 394 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.759 Even during this time of year with daylight savings, taking 395 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.839 one capsule of methyl B can really help to facilitate 396 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.799 better energy production within the red blood cells and also 397 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:17.240 gives us a layer of cardio vascular protection because we 398 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.960 know that the combination of vitamin B two, which is 399 00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:25.759 ribal flavin B six and B twelve, along with folate 400 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:34.440 are really important for modifying homocysting, and homocysting is a 401 00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:40.400
