Get ready for tomorrow's Nutritional Science Today right here, right now. Hello, and welcome to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning to everyone. I have many things to cover with you today, including some new studies that I think impact all of us. And I talk often on different podcasts that I do as well
on this show about the importance of being able to detoxify our bodies. There are many things that are out of our control in our environment that can lead to significant shifts in our health. And we know that air pollution is one component to that. But we also know that the foods that we eat, ultra process foods as an example, can certainly drive up a significant amount of I always call it just toxic sludge. So we want to be able to
zero in on that. And we have many different formulations that are geared towards cellular detoxification, including formulations such as the daily detox powder as an example, as well as glued to HX. So I want to talk about some studies that have come out recently because I do think that these should resonate with you in the sense that when you go hmm, okay. So we know all
of these different facts. We know that as Americans, just as an example, we know that this country consumes the highest amount of ultra processed foods compared to any other country, and unfortunately, our bad habits have spread globally. So you have all of these other countries where ultraprocessed food consumption was just not a thing, and now you're starting to see an uptick in their intake of ultra processed foods. And we clearly know that ultra processed foods are not nutrient
dense. So if you are listening and you know, yeah, you know what I do, stop by those fast food establishments or I'm getting those meals ready to go, you know, from the frozen food section at the grocery
store. Then maybe you really need to zero in on detoxification because we know that those foods are first and foremost not providing us the new so at bare minimum taking the core multi vitamin would be incredibly advantageous, but also to zero in on nutrients that can help to facilitate proper detoxification each and every single day, because remember, our bodies are well equipped to try and clean ourselves up,
and we go through these different phases of detoxification each day. And so when we start to break down those different phases and you say, well, wow, those are highly reliant on vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and if we don't have an adequate supply of these key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants,
that our body is really going to struggle. So we see this time after time, and there are so many clinical research studies out there now, folks, that really show just how detrimental ultra processed foods are to the human body. We know these things, but yet people continue to consume them. I talk about a study that came out of Florida Atlantic University, which, by the way, they're doing really good in basketball again this year. I tried
because they're just up the road for me. I'm down here in South Florida and FAU is in Boca. So I was like, oh, you know, I'm gonna go check out a basketball game because I love college basketball. They're sold out and so I was like, really for the entire season, So that's kind of crazy. But nonetheless, they did this really wonderful study on ultra process food consumption and they estimated that close to seventy percent of caloric
intake by most Americans is coming from ultra process foods. And then they were drawing that linkage to you know, fatty liver disease, the increase of fatty liver disease in this country, so we can tie it to many different problems obesity, diabetes, clearly, you know concerns. So we need to just do better when it comes to the foods that we are selecting to eat every single day. You know, adherence to a Mediterranean style way of eating is
really your best bet. But nonetheless, we see these studies that are really starting to kind of pile up in a sense. And so this study just came out this week out of University of Washington School of Medicine. So I really want you to hear what the findings were in this study, because it should be incredibly alarming to you because they're zeroing in on pregnant women. Okay, so this is important, right. We want women who are carrying a child to be as healthy as possible. This is kind of a given,
right. But University of Washington School of Medicine, they were looking at ultra processed foods and flates that are actually contained in ultra process foods. And you may say, well, what the heck is a thyalate? Well, these are these chemicals when you think about BPA's and you know, most people now are like, oh, I want to have you know, BPA free water
bottle for example. But we know that thealates are found in pretty much every single consumer, not only packaging, but just products that people are using, and you know, toys that kids play with, you name it. You can find thealates and they're just this whole swath of different chemicals that the body doesn't know what to do with them. And we can find detectable, very high detectable levels of palates in the blood as well as in the urine.
So we know that as Americans, we're constantly inundated with these harmful chemicals. Unfortunately, this is up to you know, legislators to make any type of a difference in this. And while the science is out there and you can see the harmful effects, whether you're looking at fertility issues and chemical exposures or if you're looking at chronic disease states and tying that in with these chemical exposures, we are not at a point yet in this country where folks are willing
to say, you know what, let's just ban that. So what we need to do, as invite health radio listeners is we need to say, let me be proactive in my own health and let me make sure that I'm helping my body detoxify. So University of Washington School of Medicine, they looked at how they lights this class of chemicals associated with plastics can actually shed from
the wrappings. And this isn't a new finding. I talked about a study similar to this, probably eight years ago, and where they actually tested out from different fast food establishments and they were looking at the amount of leeching out of those chemicals into the actual food itself. So I mean, one part is the food is not healthy, but then secondly, you have all this leeching of these chemicals coming from the wrappers, so it's just adding insult to
injury. So what they said is pregnant women need to avoid avoid ultra processed foods fast foods during pregnancy. And I was reading this study and I said, Okay, well this makes sense, but the fact that they're just isolating it out to just say pregnant women. It should be all humans, we should all be avoiding this. Why do any of us want to, you
know, be cluttering up our bodies with these harmful, known chemicals. And this was published in the Environmental International Journal, and they were looking at the amount of leeching coming out from those wrappers and the different packaging materials that foods are put into. They even looked at the plastic gloves that food handlers use
when preparing foods at fast food restaurants. So what the correlation was was they started to test the serum blood levels of these chemicals in pregnant women, and then they were looking at the correlation between autism and other mental development disorders in infancy, so looking at newborns and then looking at their serum levels of those harmful chemicals, and they could see that direct link they could see that when
moms are exposed to these chemicals that it crosses the placenta and actually makes its way into fetal circulation. So it's an incredibly alarming study. It's not a surprise to me to read this because I've been studying this for so many years. Did my master's degree in public health, and when I took my environmental health course, I was really just alarmed by how much is in our environment that the public generally, for the most part, is not even aware of.
You know, clearly, we know that there are you know, heavy metal exposures that we can all you know, get just from foods, you know, just depending upon where foods are grown in this country or other countries that are imported into the United States. And you know, it's your thing about things like arsenic for example. So we know that these chemical exposures are quite large, whether we're looking at thay lights and the different plastics. And
I talk often about nanoplastics and how they are found everywhere. I always say, if you come down here to Florida and you want to take a nice walk on the beach, there's the nerdles. So nerdles are these tiny, little micro nanoplastics. You can't see them. They're the size of a piece of sand, but yet they can absorb into the skin and make their way into the bloodstream. So knowing all these things, we have to say, well, what can we do better? So this is when we look at
formulations such as greens achex. Greens ahex is such a powerhouse, and when Jerry Hicky formulated that so many years ago, he really hit the nail on the head because not only did he combine close to forty fruit and vegetable extracts in this wonderful herbal blend, he also put in probiotic so to enhance the immune system and to support the microbial environment to once again help to facilitate better detoxification. So it's just it's hands down, just a wonderful way to every
day help your body go through that cleansing process. So you look at greens Achex with all of its powerful nutrients and that wonderful probiotic blend. And then this piggybacks off of a new study that just came out showing that certain strains of bacteria, healthy bacteria, can actually help the body remove nanoplastics. So maybe you're sitting here listening and you're going, oh, my goodness, for the past decade. Yeah, I'm a frequent flyer of the old fast food
joints. This is not good. But don't worry, because what you can do is you can take that greens ahex every day, take one scoop of
greens achex. If you want to take two scoops, that's fine too, but you want to take that on a consistent regular basis so that your liver is getting this wonderful exposure to those key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and of course those powerful herbs that can help your little tiny liver cells those patosites in being able to remove harmful toxins, including looking at things like BPA and
thy lates, those nanoplastics. So I really dove into this this week and was looking at the identifiable strains of bacteria that have been shown to really have a powerful effect on the removal of those nanoplastics from the human body. So I want to mention a couple of those, letting you know that if you
were using the greens HX, you're getting really wonderful coverage. If you use the probiotic women formulation which men can use to also going to get wonderful exposure to these known healthy bacteria to help remove plastics out of the system, as
well as the probiotic HX. So I do need to squeeze in a quick break, but when I come back, I'm going to tell you about those different probiotics and why it would be incredibly advantageous for you to make sure that you are including a good, powerful probiotic into your daily routine to get rid of all of those nanoplastics. So I will be right back just after this. For twenty five years, invite Health has been leading the way in wellness

and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, Scientific director at Invite Health. Remember our stores are open seven days week, so you can pop on in. You can get that greens HX. Of course we have glued to HX, the daily detox powder. We have so many different formulations that can really help the body when it comes to targeting all of
the sludge that we pick up along the way. So talking about the different strains of bacteria that have been shown to help the body with that removal of those nanoplastics, it really was interesting to me the power of healthy lacto bacilli strains, So the absorption capacity of particular strains of lacto bacillis have been shown to be highly effective in being able to kind of bind on to those nanoplastics that we pick up from all different consumer products out there, and food wrappers
and what you store your foods in, you know, things that you're touching throughout the day that leach out. I mean, there's a lot of things that we just don't think about as to where we can get these common chemical exposures from. So Lacto bacillis just the general family does a wonderful job, which is why I mentioned the probiotic women because that's four different strains of powerful lacto bacilli, So we know it's wonderful for helping with the normal floral environment
for the vaginal tract as well as for men. You know, when you think about the eurogenital health and the microbiome, it's very important, you know, to maintain healthy microbes so that we are not you know, falling victim to a urinary tract infection or for men, prostatitis. Prostatitis becomes a much more prevalent condition that men deal with as they get older, partly because of the natural enlarging of the prostate. And it really just comes down to an
anatomy issue. You know, the human body is designed in its own unique way, but just the anatomy of where the prostate is located, in the way that the urethra runs through there. That is, you know, a area of concern. So for men, you know, taking the Probiotic Women, you can definitely do that. And it also has that wonderful blend of garlic and time extracts, so once again powerful antioxidants and they help to ease
inflammation. So looking at the different studies and the different bacterial strains, I started to, you know, kind of dive into many of our products, and Probiotic Women is one of those. But also Probiotic h X, which has the Lactobacillis ramnosis and it has Lactobacillis plantarum, and Lactobacilis plantarum in particular was really one of those bacterial strains that they showed to be highly effective at
targeting those nanoplastics. So if you're listening and you say, hmm, I don't take a probiotic right now, then perhaps go to our website Invite health dot com, or stop by a store and get yourself your Probiotic HX, or if you do have some concerns with urinary health, get that Probiotic Women
formulation, and as I mentioned, men can definitely take that. So I really enjoy kind of jumping into to some of these different studies and really understanding, you know, how it is that the human body does its best to combat all of the things that we come across, but how easy it is for us to get that upper hand and to really combat a lot of these things just through dietary supplementation, making some small modifications obviously in your dietary intake
first and foremost. You know, ultra process foods, folks, we just need to avoid them. You know. I used to do a regular check in with a cardiologist on one of the programs that I did, and he not only is an interventional cardiologist, he's also an executive chef. So he's very unique in his own right. And we used to talk about this on a regular basis, like why are we still consuming ultra process foods in this country? I mean, we know, we know the harmful effects of those
foods. We I know that we are not just dealing with the lack of nutrients in those foods, but we're also now dealing with all of the chemicals. And I said, this isn't new news, this is information that we've known for years and years. As I mentioned, they did a study about eight years ago on the amount of plates that were found in food packaging and food wrappers. So it's just it's really it's shameful. It's the best thing that you can do, but yeah, it's just been linked to so many
things. Increase risk of you know, certain types of cancers, clearly breast cancer, prostate cancers, increase risk in diabetes. We've clearly seen the links between you know, low birth weight babies, as well as autism, a lot of concerns obesity. There's a study on obesity and the linkage in men in particular to the exposure to these common chemicals found in plastics that are everywhere in our environment, so you know, fibroids they've linked to this, to
to thylate exposure. Obviously I had mentioned, you know, fertility issues. So it's just we just have to do better. But we can help you out and invite health. So we have all these wonderful, powerful formulations, including glue to HX. Glue to HX is one of those formulations that I think is just fabulous just in terms of its its main reason as to why you would want to be supplementing with this formulation. It's a powder, so
it's very easy to take, you know, one scoop a day. It is loaded down with very wonderful nutrients, including dimethyl glycine, and we know the importance of DMG when it comes to our overall health. Dimethyl Glycine is is quite critical to not only allowing the body to produce additional glue to thione. Glue to thione is kind of our master antioxidant in the body, So dimethyl glycine is a precursor in the body to making glue to thione to help
the liver clean itself up. But in this formulation you have dimethyl glycine along with spinach extract, there is parsley. So it's really wonderful for fluid balance. So for folks who you know, maybe have some yeah, some heart issues and maybe that pumping mechanism isn't quite up to snuff, then we ideally want to make sure that we're taking nutrients that help our circulatory system when it
comes to proper fluid balance. So I have found that many individuals who you know, maybe they started taking glue to HX because they went in and they found out that they have, you know, the beginnings of non alcoholic fatty liver diacy. They wanted to take a very powerful formulation to support liver detoxification and in doing so they're like, wow, you know, I used to have some mild swelling in my ankles. Now that I'm using this formulation,
that seems to have gone away. Well it makes sense because of that Parsley extract. It really does a wonderful job. Same thing with the spinach extract. But we can see a linkage between low levels of dimethyl glycine in the
human body along with the development of diabetes. This was a very fascinating study that was conducted in coordination with Harvard along with some research universities over in Sweden, and was published in the Diabetes Journal close to a decade ago now, back in twenty fifteen, where they tested out the serum blood levels of dimethyl glycine and then they looked at a direct causal link between the low DMG and the development of type two diabetes. So we know the facts on this.
We understand that dimethyl glycine is naturally occurring in the body and as we grow older, the normal manufacturing of that begins to diminish, and we have to have dimethyl glycine for so many different functions. It's responsible for all of the cellular functions that are occurring. And there's over forty different chemical processes or biochemical processes that occur each day in the human body that are reliant on dimethyl glycine.
So when you think about brain function, for example, dimethyl glycine plays a role in this. So if you have concerns with memory, then we should say, well, maybe I need to re establish my dimethyl glycine levels. So taking that glue to HX each day, I may be thinking about that in that setting of liver health and detoxification, but this is actually a powerhouse when it comes to immune health as well as brain health, circulatory health
in general. At the same time, we're getting that wonderful effect of making additional glue to thione. So you just can't really beat that. Another formulation that you can turn to when thinking about ultra process foods. First and foremost, try to stop eating ultra process foods. I oftentimes laugh and say, you know, I used to always think, oh, I'm so healthy,
and I was not. I was not healthy at all. You know, I look back when I was in medical school, I had just a horrific diet and I thought it was healthy because I wasn't, you know, going out getting fast foods. So I was like, no, I eat pretty healthy, but I really wasn't. And it wasn't until you know, I really started to understand how the body absorbs nutrients and uses those nutrients for daily function that I myself made this shift over to adhering completely to a Mediterranean style
way of eating. Now, in doing that, I found some really wonderful effects for myself. Number One, it gave me really good energy. And I always thought I have good energy. I'm kind of more Jerry Hickey and I both are kind of wired the same, We're both a little bit on the hyper side. But once I changed my diet, I was like, oh my gosh, like I feel great all day long. So I didn't
realize how much the foods were weighing me down. But then I also recognized, like, oh gosh, if these foods were actually weighing me down so much, what's the residual effect. So this is when I really started to make sure I was taking nutrients to help my body remove any of those harmful substances that I had been exposed to. So you know, paying attention to
daily detoxication to me is very important. Looking at formulations such as the Performance Multivitamin is another excellent way for us to get wonderful coverage of those mineral envitamin deficiencies that perhaps we may be getting from our dietary intake. That the foods are just not as nutrient dense as they once used to be, so we want to get coverage on that front. We know that we're supplementing with the
Performance Multivitamin. Not only do we get those bioactive B vitamins to help with energy for red blood cell production, for the ability for the liver once again to properly detoxify. That is really key. We understand that the liver is relying on those B vitamins on folate on B twelve, very important that we have adequate amounts of those in order for the liver to properly detoxify. We
also know that B vitamins are key for our immune system. So the Performance Multivitamin is giving you those bioactive bees along with natural vitamin E, but then it also has sood superoxide dismutastes along with having rodeola extract. So I'll talk briefly about those and why those are beneficial when it comes to sell energy, when it comes to heart function, when it comes to brain function, when it comes to your metabolism in general, on the flip side of this break,
So stick around with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio, and I will be right back. Maintain muscle mass and fuel your body with Invite Health's brand new Plant Protein powder.

invite Health dot com and welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, scientific director at Invite Health. Happy Saturday morning. If you are just now joining in talking about the Performance multivitamin. This has been our most popular multi vitamin that we offer for so many years and across the board as far as who has used this formulation and continues to use this. You know, we have professional athletes who have been using our Performance multivitamin because it
helps them with energy production as well as muscle recovery. Obviously, this is the number one multivitamin in our product line that I turn to for folks who have any type of heart concerns or anyone who has metabolism concerns. So what am I actually saying If you are a pre diabetic, if you have high blood pressure, if you are a type two diabetic, this should be the multivitamin that you select. Because we know many things about individuals who have pre
diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or type two diabetes. First, we know that their energy levels are generally in the dumps. Why, because your mitochondria, the inner core of your cell, it loses the ability to properly function, because just think about that, like all that sugar is just kind of clumping up on the cell surface, and so it runs your cells down, so
they just become very lethargic. So if you start supplementing with the Performance multivitamin, not only are you getting in this powerhouse of those B vitamins and all those keylated minerals so they make their way through the digestive track without being broken down in the stomach acids for example. So you get all of those,
but you're also getting Rodeola extract. And we know that Rodeola extract is an adrenal adaptogenic herb, and it has been shown to be incredibly beneficial for not only helping the body to offset the negative effects of stress, and we know a lot of folks have stress, but it also can help generate energy, which makes it really unique. And what I love about Rodeola extract is that
it works really quickly. It's not one of those supplements where you're like, well, I got to take this for the next two months before I notice the difference, and not that there's anything wrong. If it's a formulation that's like that, because sometimes we have to build up this steady state of a particular nutrient in order for the body to really start to properly utilize that, which is why being regular with your supplementation routine is key. I have folks
all the time that are like, well, I tried that. I tried it, you know, for two days, and that didn't work. It's like, well, this is you know, the clinical studies show you have to be on it for at least eight weeks for you to really start to see those potential benefits. But this is not the case with rodeola. Rodeola
you see those effects instantaneous, which is a wonderful thing. So you're taking this multi item in every day, the performance multi item, and you're getting all those powerful vitamins and minerals, and you are getting Rodeola extract, which is great for athletes, but it's also great for folks who have a sluggish thyroid. We know that rodeola really can benefit the metabolism. We know that's gonna give us this nice sense of well being and help to encourage better sell
energy production. And then this is partnered with superoxide dismutases, so SOD is one of our natural occurring antioxidants in the body. Once again, we know that as we get older, those levels begin to diminish. Well, that's a problem for a few different reasons. Once again, not enough SOD means we don't have enough of this powerful antioxidant to protect our blood vessels, and
that's very critical. So we have seen studies where they actually show that low levels of superoxide disputat have a direct link to an increase thickening of the carotid artery. That's alarming, that's incredibly alarming. This is a study back in two thousand and nine and it was published in the Diabetes Research Journal, So they were looking at diabetics and so we already know remember diabetics, if you have load dmg dimethyl glycine, that makes you prone to worsening of diabetes.
And if you are not a diabetic and you have load dimethyl glycine levels, that makes you more likely to develop diabetes. So now we're looking at this SOD study, so we're dealing with two naturally occurring antioxidants in the body, and if you have low blood levels of super oxide dismutase, there was a direct correlation between the carotid artery becoming thick well, that's a big problem. If we have a thick carotid artery, that means we're not getting proper blood
flow and oxygen to our noggin. And if our brain is not getting proper blood flow and oxygen, we're going to feel the effects of that. So this is why the performance multivitamin. I always categorize this as being like the the ideal formulation for anyone with heart disease, anyone who has diabetes, anyone who has concerns with heart health or metabolic health. And it's just it's such
a wonderful formula. This is I can go on and on about the Performance multipim but I'll leave it at the aut I have other things that I want to cover. So these are just areas that we we have to always think about. We know that as we grow older, certain things become less efficient. We see it with coenzyme Q ten production just as an example. You know, as we get older, our body makes less and less co q ten, so we need coq ten. It's the primary fuel for our cell
energy. This is why supplementation with ubiquinol is so key. And I always say, when you look at a basic supplementation routine, regardless of your age, everyone should be supplementing with coen enzyme q ten. It's very important. So we have our ubiquenol sixty milligram is on a special right now, so take advantage of that. Remember we use the Konica form. That's the form of coenzyme q ten that is the most well regarded in terms of the clinical
research. That evidence based of how the body actually absorbs that form of coenzyme
q ten. It gets into the system, and you know, if you can always go in and have your blood level tested, Folks, you can go have a co Q ten level tested, and then you start supplementing with the invite hew ubiquenol and go in even a month later, you're going to see that that coenzyme q ten level is going to start to build back up, which is a wonderful thing for you because we know co Q ten is a antioxidant for the body, but it's also key for our energy production.
So now I want to talk about another interesting study. Nac n acetylsysteine. This is one of those nutrients once again that has so many utilizations. You know, once again it's a precursor to making glutathione in the body, which is key. We need to have as much glue to thione as we possibly can to keep that liver nice and happy. But we also know NAC has
been you know, studied in a variety of different ways. I mean, back in the nineteen forties, it was predominantly looked at as a mucolytic drug and it's still to this day is prescribed by pullmonologists for individuals who have pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, different respiratory issues where there's a thickening of the mucous membrane. We know that NAC naturally helps to thin that mucus. So in
the nineteen forties this is the way that ncetyl systeine was looked at. Remember this is occurring in the body, but if we don't have enough of it,
then you know, supplementation is certainly important. We have seen the studies I've talked about the study on post heart attack with NAC, and they found that when individuals who had a heart attack, and you have a certain area of the heart, the heart muscle where it actually dies off, it's damage significantly from having a myocardial infarction, that when they gave those individuals NAC right away that it actually allowed that heart muscle to stay viable, to stay alive,
so that damage was not as impressionable as it would have been without NAC. So that's just such a fascinating study. I mean, that just tells you the power of these different nutrients. And I mean clearly we can see the benefits of NAC for respiratory health. To really understand like, wow, you can use NAC to help repair a damaged heart muscle, Like that's incredibly impressive. So now here's a brand new study that came out in the Pain
Management Journal. So the Pain Management Journal, they reported the findings from the Medical University of South Carolina where they were giving NAC. Now this was IV NAC or a placebo during surgery. And now remember NAC is really important folks. If you do ever have to go in and have any type of surgical
procedure done where you're going under anesthesia. If you've reached out to Jerry Hickey in the past, if you've reached out to me and you say, hey, I have to go in and you know having this you know, minor operation done, what should I do? You know, leading into the surgery? What should I do postop? You know what nutrients do I have to stop taking before surgery? We get these questions all the time, but both
Jerry and I will always say, start taking that NAC. You need to be taking at minimum twelve hundred milligrams of anecetyl system for a good three or four days before you go in to go under anesthesia, and then after so postop, you want to be taking three caps of our NAC. So that's eighteen hundred milligrams. So that's fine even if you want to bump that up to twenty four hundred, if you want to do two caps twice a day. Perfect. So you want to be taking that NAC for at least ten
days after going under anesthesia because it'll help the body remove that anesthesia. Because a lot of times people they'll go under, you know, for maybe a simple procedure, they come out of surgery and they're like, I don't feel right, like in my brain. So and we know that this becomes worse as we get older. Why because once again the liver is struggling with proper detoxification. So taking NAC pre op and post op very very important. So
now back to the study. So University of South Carolina pain Management. So this is an interesting little spin on this. They were looking at if they gave individuals who went in and had surgery an acetyl system within two days following the surgery, if this would help lower their pain scores, and what they
found was incredibly impressive. They found that the impact of NAC allowed not only for the repair time to increase, so post surgery repair wound healing, because think about it, we're using an anti accident, right, but also the perception of pain. They're like, yeah, I don't have I'm not that much pain compared to the placebo group who was And remember pain is subjective. But this is a really incredibly impressive study showing that something as simple as anecetyl
system can pack such a powerful punch. Remember, NAC has been shown to do so many wonderful things. You know, when you look at it as an antioxidant, when you look at it as a mucolytic, you know, to thin out that mucous membrane when you look at it, to protect the
mitochondria from damage being done from external forces, those free radicals. When you see how it works to target different viruses and bacterias, it's been shown to be highly effective against things such as influenza and H. Pylori infection, and H Pylori folks, you don't ever want to mess around with that. Other study just came out drawing that link between H. Pylori infection, which attacks
the stomach, and the direct link to Parkinson's disease. So if you find that you're very gassy a lot of belching, don't just chalk that up as normal as bad diet. Go and get tested make sure you don't have H. Pylori. But we know all of the wonderful things that NAC can do. So I take NAC on a regular basis. It's one of those nutrients where I think, even if you're not taking it every single day, if you add in a capsule two capsules a few times out of the week,
you are doing so much benefit for cellular detoxification and overall cellular protection. So definitely check out the NAC. I do need to squeeze in one more break, so stick around with me. You are listening to Invite Health Radio and I will be right back. It is cold and flucy, and again,

Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, So just listening to that last little ad on the immunity multivitamin. Just as a side note, folks, that immunity multivitamin that is on a special and the memory multivitamin, the memory multivitamin is twenty four to ninety five. Maybe you're feeling that mid February brain fog. You're just kind of over those thirty five forty degree cloudy gray days, and you're like, oh gosh, I just don't feel focused, I don't
feel the attention. My brain just feels tired. Get that memory multivitamin. I can't speak enough about the benefits of that multivitamin. It's the core multivitamins. You get all those powerful vitamins and minerals in that form relation. And then it's partnered up with ginko bloba and it has CDP coalings that key fat to help with the neuron structure. You don't want your brain cells getting dinged up or dented up. I always say it's not ideal. I always say
if you have like two different lines. You know, you have the skinny brain line and the fat brain line. You want to sign up to be in the fat brain line. You don't want to have a shrinking brain, So that CDP coaling is very beneficial for maintaining that brain volume. And then you have the ginko which helps to fight off neurotoxicity from all the things that we're exposed to air pollution, for example, And we know that ginko is
wonderful for maintaining the proper vascular blood flow. It's very protective to those tiny little capillaries and the nerves that run in through the brain. So taking the memory multivitamin it's not only beneficial for encouraging better memory, but in particular if you do feel like you have brain fog or you just struggle with focus and attention, this is definitely a go to comprehensive daily multivitamin multimineral enhanced with those
nutrients to help power up the brain. Remember, it also has that low dose lithium that's a key trace mineral. That trace mineral helps with the removal of toxic sludge. Once again that can build up and generate neuroinflammation, so brain inflammation and brain toxicity. So I think most folks probably look and go, yeah, I don't want to have it inflamed brain and I don't want to have a toxic brain. So turn to the memory multivitam in twenty four
to ninety five right now. It's an excellent, excellent on that particular product. So I didn't mention that this is Super Bowl weekend. I didn't get into my sports with everybody today. And yes, it's the big Game tomorrow. I'm sure everyone will be watching. I of course will be watching. I like to watch the commercials. I usually get a kick out of at least a few of them. I don't have to express my saddened way that
the Lions lost the forty nine ers that I was really hoping. I would be really upbeat today knowing that the Lions would be playing in the super Bowl tomorrow. But that's not the case. But that's okay. There is next year. We still had an excellent season. So but I know a lot of folks will be watching the game, probably snacking on foods that are not
the healthiest, maybe partaking in some of those adult beverages. So if that sounds like you, make sure that today you prepare yourself by going and getting your NAC. Remember, NAC is a wonderful supplement to be taking if you are going to be partaking in those adult beverages. Really can help with the libertytoxification. You know, It's it's a complex series that happens if you consume
alcohol. There's different enzymes that get activated, and so you have you know, alcohol dehydrogenase, and then you have a setyl eldehyde that can actually build up. So when people say that they have like a hangover, what that's due to is this byproduct that occurs because of the way that the alcohol is being broken down in the liver, So you get a settle eldehyde build up
and that just kind of clouds up the brain. So if we want to try to avoid that, taking an acetyl cystein is a very good thing to consider. If you're going to to be partaking in those bad foods, for example, those ultra process foods, and maybe you tell yourself that's just one day, that's fine, but make sure you take your greens achex or that glue to HX. Very important to support that detoxification because we know certain facts.
We know we have a lot of chemical exposures, Like if I could just go around and you know, take urine samples from every single person in this country, or let's just say in New York, we're gonna see high levels of those stalates, and we want to minimize those exposures. Remember your probiotics, those lack of bacilla strains in particular, very beneficial. So if you're taking probiotic HX or the probiotic women. Of course, greens Achax is
a wonderful blend of probiotic in that as well. So these are all things that we want to think about. But memory multivitamin that's on special. I'm super excited for you on that one, uh, Valentine's Day, that's right around the corner. And I always say during this, you know, very special holiday that give the gift of health. You know, people are used to paying for overpriced roses. And I say that because when I was in
high school, I worked at a floorist and I loved it. But my job was, you know, all the flowers would come in off the truck and I was the one responsible for cleaning all of them, you know, removing all of the thorns. So I'd leave and I'd hit my hands would be all cut up. But always at Valentine's Day there was the big price increase in the roses. So oftentimes people want, you know, to give chocolates and give roses, but give the gift of health. There's nothing more
lovely to give out on Valentine's Day than something like the cocos HX. And you can do so many wonderful things with HX. You can make little fun macaroons, you can make a lovely, tasty, little hot cocoa. You can add it in with some yogurt and make a nice little chocolate moose. So we have a lot of creative ways that you can use that formulation. Remember it's packed with powerful flavanols. And so maybe you know someone who has ringing in the ears tonight, is they should be using coco h X those
powerful flavanols. Maybe you have someone who has problems when it comes to blood sugar balance. Coco HX has been shown to be very helpful in helping with insulin sensitivity. So if you have insulin resistance, for example, and your body isn't responding the way that you want it to. Whenever you eat you get this rise in blood sugar and the insulin isn't coming up to match that, then taking coco x an excellent choice. It's powerful antioxidant and very clean
source. By the way, because not all cocoa, I'm sure a lot of you have heard you know, you gotta watch out for cocoa and cadmium exposure, so you don't have to worry about that. With invite help because remember our formulation is not sold as a food formulation where there's less regulation. Ours is a supplement and so our sourcing are tracking the way in which it's
tested for heavy metals, any type of a contaminant. You know that when you're using coco X you're getting the purest form of cocoa extract that you can get your hands on. It's just it's such a great product. Great for circulation, great for brain health. That's what's always fascinating is to see the multiple studies now that have come out showing the effectiveness of coco when it comes to memory and focus and blood pressure and blood sugar. So it's just a
powerhouse. It's the best way to celebrate Valentine's Obviously you can use things like REDSHX or Purple's HX both are very good options as well. But if you want to give out a sweet treat for Valentine's Day, we definitely have you covered. Remember we have our nutritional experts.
