The Gut Brain Connection - - Bloating and Brain Fog

be speaking with you. I represent Invite Health, which makes really super high quality nutritional supplements, and that's what we're going to discuss. The best of the best. The promise you're clean, they're fresh. They're based on ingredients Houston human clinical trials that have value, that are safe that we know how much to give you. You know, once they take an ingredient and do a lot of research on it in human clinical trials, we know that it's safe.

We know how much to give, we know what to expect as benefits. So that's pretty cool, and that's what Invite does. It's all really based on science. So I want to talk about krill oil today. Krill oil is an alternate way of getting fish oils. And when I say that, well, a lot of people have switched to krill oil, and there's a number of reasons why they switched. And don't get me wrong, fish oils are great and eating fish is great. I personally take krill oil, and

there's a couple of reasons why. First of all, it's a better experience. You don't get fishburbs, and it's really easy to swallow. And the reason for that is the fish oils are super well absorbed. They're really well absorbed compared to traditional fish oil capsules, and because of that, you can get a lot more impact out of a

much smaller capsule. Now, generally when they talk about fish oils, they talk about heart health, and there's a lot to be said about that, and I will go into that briefly, but I'm going to talk about fish oils and brain health and if you look at krill a little more specifically, but both fish oils and krill do this. They help really mitigate or assuage, you know, calm down aging at a brain. They block inflammation in the brain. Really, while

you never want inflammation in the brain. Think of if you had a splinter and you couldn't remove it right away and to start to swell and get all infected and painful. Imagine having that in the brain. Well, you don't want splinters in your brain. You don't want pockets of inflammation in the brain. Fish oil and krill oils get rid of that. So it really helps slow down or even block aging in the brain and actually makes your brain work much better. And that's what we're focusing

on this morning. It reduces inflammation in the brain. But they've shown in human clinical trials that fish oils are really important for the volume of your brain. You know, your brain can shrink with age, and taking fish oils or eating fish or taking krill oil helps prevent your brain from shrinking with age. And it especially helps protect your hippocampal region from aging and shrinking and helps keep it functioning. And why is that important, Well, that's the

really trapdoor to your memory. Your hippocampus is where you store what you learn today in your brain. So if you learn somebody's name. It goes into your hippocampus, so it's really important for your memory. And the hippocampus really significantly can shrink and age and decay with with age, and fish oils and krill oil are a way to prevent that. They're really important for the size of the hippocampus.

So why would they be important, Well, your brain's made out of water and fish oils, basically, I mean that's The two fish oils that you get in both krill or fish oil capsules are called EPA and DHA. They're the most important and are the most well known. They're not the only but they are really important ones. And these two fish oils create your brain. Brain tissue has the highest content of DHA in your entire body, and DHA and EPA are the two major building blocks of

your brain. I really want to emphasize that. But if you combine these two fish oils with the other ingredients in our krill oil, because our krill ool is a little better than the other kriyllos, it makes your brain. It actually makes your brain. It creates your brain, but it also allows your brain to work to function, and it also protects your brain. So wat's in krill. There's fish oils, you get EPA, DHA, and I don't want

to diminish their importance. So if you're taking fishails, you're fantastic. It's just krill is a little bit better. You're better off of krill. Not just do you not get fishburps, Not just is it easier to swallow. So it's a much better experience. But krill has the fishays, the EPA and dha, and our krill is richer in these than other krills naturally. But you also get phosphatizes, You also get coaling, You also get seering, You also get inocetol.

You also create get ethanolamine. These create your brain cell. These create the cellular membrane of your brain cell. So what's the cellular membrane. It's the housing, It's what what's on the outside of your brain cell. And that has that has to function and with age. The cellular membrane on the outside of your brain cell stiffens, it doesn't work well. Information and energy is not flowing easily. It's

locked is resistance. So when you get a krill oil, this allows the proper flow of energy in a brain. The proper flow of information contact between brain cells. This allows you to think, This allows you to learn, This allows you to remember, This allows you to react quickly. But you also need these believe it or not, to stay strong. But this is really important for aging people like myself I'm seventy one, to stay strong and to maintain good balance. You need these for all of these things.

So function with the fish oils, to krill oil, sel to cell connection, sel to cell communication, the proper release of NERD transmitters energy flow. So you need this to function. You need this to create your brain. You cannot create your brain. You can't create your brain with peanut fat and butter and margarine and corn oil. You need fish oils to create your brain. If you lack fish wels, your brain will shrink more than the person next to

you who's getting fish oils. So if you take I'm seventy one, If you take somebody in their seventies or eighties or sixties or fifties or forties, and they're getting fish oils whatever way they get it, I prefer crill, but I also eat fish, their brain will maintain its size. Where the person not getting fish oils, regardless of their age, their brain will shrink, so that becomes really important because

all of our brains tend to shrink with age. The fish weels keep it flexible, adaptive, functioning well, reactive, a good mood we'll talk about that because fish wels support the mood pathways in your brain, so you don't get depressed, because depression is more common in aging people. A reason for that is less fissuoils, less brain volume, the brain is not functioning well. So the fissuols make your brain. They allow it to function, but they also protect your brain.

They create prostaglandins that reduce inflammation in the brain. They create neuroprotectins and resolvins that pluck inflammation out of the brain and protect the brain from harm. But they also create the protective the protective coating on your brain cells, kind of like an armor coating. It's kind of like armor role for your brain cell. But in addition with the krill oil, you're getting a very powerful brain antioxidant called astaxanthin. It's kind of a pinkish color. It's really

good for your brain. Now, so krill oil, I know it's great for my heart, and there's heart attacks in my family. I'd rather not have a heart attack. I certainly don't want to stroke I we'll get into that in a minute. But the krill oil helps protect your brain and support your memory and your thinking and your logic. It improves your mood by supporting mood related pathways in

the brain, but it also improves brain circulation. I don't think a lot of people understand this about the krill oil, because it reduces inflammation and constriction of the blood vessels in your neck that supply to brain. So the brain gets more oxygen oxygen rich blood, and the brain gets more nutrient rich blood. And like I said, it improves your mood because it supports your mood related pathways. Now

let's talk about the heart. Krill oil is really good for the heart, so as fish oils, they're both really good for the heart. I don't think krill oil is better for the heart than fish oils, but I think krill oil is better for the brain than fish oils, so that's important. So krill oil it does this better than fish oil. Actually, it raises the good cholesterol the HDL a little bit like two points. But those two points are important because it also makes the HDL work better.

See the HDL works when it's loaded with phosphatidle searing, and the fichials in the krill push the phosphatitle searing founding krill. They're all founding krill into the HDL to prevent inflammation in your heart, So that's really an important point. Plus they give the HDL the negative charge to pull cholesterol away from your heart's arteries. So krill oil versus

fish oils fiicials don't raise HDL. To my knowledge, I've never seen a study where fiicials have raised HDL, and I've looked at a lot of studies officials krill raises the HDL, but it also makes it work properly to help prevent clogging in the arteries in the heart and also to reduce inflammation in the heart. Now that might be a major reason why krill is better than fisuois

for reducing inflammation in the heart. It reduces something called HSCRP. HSCRP, highly sensitive c reactive protein, tells you if you're clogging your arteries in your heart and if you're going to have a stroke or a heart attack. Because when HSCRP is elevated a bit. My HSCRP is in the basement. It's like as low as it can get. It's like zero point three. It's unbelievable. One is normal. So minus point three, which is unbelievable for a seventy one year

old male. Come on living in New York. Come on, that's great. So my inflammation in my heart is very low. This inflammation, if it's one, is normal. It's not charming, it's not hurting. But if it goes to two, you're clogging your heart, You're developing herding the arteries. And if it goes to three, it's making that plaque in your heart's arteries inflamed and unstable. And when it's unstabilized, if it's dc abilized, it can break off and cause a

stroke or a heart attack. So, by virtue of krill oil really doing a dynamic job of lowering inflammation in the heart, it really is blocking your risk to a degree of a stroke or a heart attack. Too horrible things. It also lowers triglycerides as good as fish wails. Fishuals are good for lower triglycerids. The krill is as good as that. Triglycerides are a different kind of fat than cholesterol. And triglycerides really damage your liver, really cloud the arteries

in your heart, and really cause a stroke. So krill is very good at lowering triglycerids. It lowers that bad cholesterol a little bit, it raises the good one and makes it work better. But we know that fishwalls, according to numerous human clinical studies, fish walls help prevent sudden cardiac death and heart seizures. So the first product that I'm talking about on this program is krill oil, and

the vit krill oil comes from the Scandinavia. It's actually fished off of the Antarctic, and it's very clean sea okay, but it's made in Scandinavia, Norway. To be exact, it's been using over thirty human clinical trials that are published in peer reviewed medical journals. These are stead of the art, gold standard human clinical trials, double blinded, placepic controlled randomized human clinical trials. So we know that our krill oil works.

But it's also the freshest krill oil. It's the richest clean crill oil in all of these ingredients, and it's the cleanest, cleanest, cleanest crill oil. You don't have to worry about plastic sizes of mercury or any of that garbage being in the very clean stuff. So that's why I take to Krill Oil every morning with my breakfast.

So Krillo is the first thing on special. Now, any product I speak about on this half, all of the products I speak about on this part of the show, you buy one, you get the second one half price. You buy one, you get one free. As far as recommended retail, so you get fifty percent off suggested retail on two bottles. So you buy one that suggested retail,

you can stick a bottle free. But if you include this code, you get an extra ten percent off any Invite product, even the product's not featured, even the products not on sale Jerrywor. So if you walk into the store, say Jerry Woor, if you call on the phone say Jerry Woar, use that code. Or if you go on the internet on our website invite health dot com and you place an order type in jerrywor and you get

an extra ten percent off. That's great value. I have to go to a break Jerry Hicky Invite Health dot conywhere.

medical doctor. So I got a lot of input. But I did a tremendous amount of due diligence to make this formula. And later on they did after I made the formula, they did the ARID study and they came out and said, oh, these are the ingredients you need for your eyeballs, for your brain, for protecting your aging of your eyeballs. So I was pre ARIDS study. The ARID study put on the map that these things you

need for your vision as you grow older. So you need the ingredients in Macula for healthy vision, you need it to protect your eyes, you need it for visual acuity. They've shown that these ingredients you can actually see more clearly further. You can see further more clearly, which is the opposite of what happens you after your fifties. You have better visual stamina, like if you're on your computer or your cell phone or playing a video game or

whatever you're doing. Target practice. Whatever it is, your eyes will and your brain will not get tired. That prevents your brain and eyes from getting tired, because when your eyes get tired, your brain gets tired. So visual acuity, visual stamina, stamina. But this is really important recovery from glare a lot of older people, you know recently. I love to talk about this because it was the most amazing thing in my life, other than my kids and my wife and stuff like that. Of course, you know,

the basic wonderful things of life. But the most wonderful thing I did with my wife. We drove around the country. We literally put ten thousand miles on our Honda CRV SUV and we went to about seven or eight national parks because one of them we just drove through, so I don't really consider it. So we went to seven. We really went to seven and Night and stuff, Joshua Tree and yellow Stone and I mean it was just amazing.

It was just amazing bad lands we went to. And I insisted that my wife and I take our macula every morning with breakfast so our eyes wouldn't get tired when we were driving, because you know, we drive a ten thousand miles agoa. We drove through Texas. We drove through Arizona, we drove through Utah, I mean we drove all over the place. We drove through South Dakota. I

mean we drove all over the place. It's really important because when you drive at night, the headlights blind older people and they can't drive, they can have an accident. So the ingredients and the Macula advanced protect your eyes from the glare. You recover faster, so you don't go blind, you don't get blinded when you're driving at night. But

you also need it for contrast sensitivity. So contra sensitivity would be you're walking down the basement stairs and it's not well lit and there might be something on the stairs. You'd see it better with the ingredients and Immacula advanced.

That's called contras sensitivity. Or a better example might be your driving and there's a windstorm and a branch blows down, and you could pick out that branch from the highway easier, and your headlamps in your headlights because your contrast sensitivity is better. It's kind of like if I point at a tree and I say, oh, look at that Look at that squirrel, and you go, I can't see it

well and you have regular vision. That's contrasensitivity being able to pick out that blue jay or that squirrel, and that's contrast sensitivity. But also the Macula Advanced would be very good for your immune system. These ingredients in the Macula Advanced are really needed for your immune system, and they're really needed as your daily antioxidant. If you take the Macula Advanced, you don't need another antioxidant. This is

a very complete human antioxidant. Now you're getting a lot of lutin and z is antin in here, So why is that important? Lutenant z is Antin create the phobia and your macular tissue. So the macular tissue is kind of like a catcher's mit, preventing bad things from getting to the back of the eye and damaging the little sensitive organs back there. And the phobia it looks like a little egg yolk, the phobia in your eye, that's where you really see things out of I mean, so

so important. But the lieutenantcy is antin also nourish the brain. It turns out they protect your brain. We didn't notice like fifteen years ago. We know it now. So let's say you're eating things that have lutinans is anted. You're eating some corn, you're eating some spinach, you're eating some broccoli, you're eating some pistachio nuts, you're eating some egg yolk. The problem is older people like myself do not absorb

enough of these from our food. So there might be enough to get to the brain, but there's not any left of it to get to the eyes. So how do things get to your eyes through your brain? Because the brain might be a little more important than your eyes, you know. I it's hard to say, but considering that in people good vision, they get ninety percent of the brain information through their vision. But so the circulation to the brain brings the lieutenants, is antin and the zinc

and stuff like that to the brain. The brain grabs what it needs and whatever's left over it gets to the eyeballs. So when you're young, it's easy to get those things to the eyeballs because the brain has had really good absorption of these nutrients. As you grow older, less of these nutrients reach the brain and fewer still reach your eyeballs. So your brain is not shielded from

inflammation and infections and stuff as well. Well, it's never really shielded from infections and your eyes just are lacking and it really affects your vision. Your eyes get tired easier. Now this becomes very evident if you go on a computer. If you don't get the ingredients in like the macula, and you go on a computer, your eyes and your

brain are exhausted within an hour. But if you go on the ingredients in the macula, you could be on that computer two or three hours without any consequences, without feeling tired, without your eyes getting tired, without your brain getting tired. It really makes a profound difference. So besides the and and by the way, this is loaded with the ingredients you need for your brain in your eyes, and I said zinc. That's another thing. There are things

that you absorb poorly as you grow older. You absorbed them better when you were younger. That includes the ingredients in krill oiled officials. That includes zinc, That includes certain B vitamins, That includes the nutrients that work as protectors in the brain. The lutin in z is inent and that you also need for your vision. So you need extra of these when you grow older. So this is

really when you get the macular advanced state checks. You're getting good vision protection you're getting good brain protection, you're getting antioxa protection. You're getting nutrients that you otherwise cannot get enough of out of your food, even with the best diet, because it just as hard to absorb out of food. As you grow older, it gets harder and

harder to absorb these things. And you're getting immune system benefit because you get a little bit of vitamin AA, you're getting vitamin C, you're getting vitamin E, and you're getting zinc. These an NAC. These are very important nutrients for your immune system. And let me tell you about

that NAC in there. NAC is at amino acid. NAC easily gets it to your brain because your brain loves it, and it creates something in your brain that detoxifies the brain, called glue to thion, but also strongly protects the brain glut to thion levels. My friend Alan Pressman used to call this the mother of all antioxidants because it rejuvenates and resecles all the other antioxidants and it's so powerful.

Glut to Thion strongly shields your brain as strongly shields your eyes, and as you grow older, you have less and less gluetithion in your brain and eyes. That's why the NAC is in there. If you're taking the arid supplement or our synrum for the eyes, et cetera, I don't think you're getting NAC at all. You really need NAC to protect your brain and eyes. It is super

important for shielding the brain and eyes. Pardon me so so far in the two products on special as the viy krill human test and human clinical trials published in major medical journals as a great product, great for your heart, great for your brain. Needed for your vision by the way, and your immune system and your muscles and your bones. And then the Macula Advanced State checks which is good for your vision, your brain, your immune system, and as

a daily antioxidant protector. Like I said, if you take the back of Advance, you don't need another antioxidant. This will fulfill all your antioxidant needs every day. Now I put Phase two on special today. Phase two is a starch blocker, but it's real. It's been used in over twenty human clinical trials published in medical journals and scientific journals.

It comes out of the white kidney bean. But don't forget the white kidney bean has a lot of starch in it, so you can't really eat white kidney beans to lose weight. So the Phase two attaches to a starts digesting family of enzymes and the alpha malay's family. And then when you eat something like bread or what beans or carrots or peas or anything with carbs in it, you absorb less sugar for the food. Now I say this, some of you might be on those GLP one blockers.

I'm sorry I said blockers. I meant agonists. They make GLP one work. You know, the injections where people are losing weight, they really do work. But this will help it. This will people want to go outside now and be in their T shirts. Take the Phase two two capsules about five minutes before two or three meals a day, and you'll absorb a lot less sugar and it'll be easier for you to get trim because being trim is good for your brain, your heart, your kidneys. It's being

trim is really good for everything. So here's what's on. Oh and by the way, that that Phase two ingredient has been stayed at the Mayo Clinic. I mean it's been stayed all over the place University of Rochester. I mean, it really works, it really and it doesn't make you nauseous. So you take the phase two that's from a fasciolamine. Vulgaris the white kidney bean without the carbs. You don't get the carbs. You take it before the meal. It blocks the absorption of the sugar, maybe half the sugar.

And this way you eat a regular meal. You absorb less sugar. And it can help you with your fat loss because it's not good to have a lot of fat, no matter what anybody says, it's not good to have a lot of fat. It's very bad for your brain, it's very bad for your heart, very bad for your kidney's, very bad for your back on your knees. Just not a good thing. Okay, So here's what's on special because

I am running out of time. Crill oil. Crill oil helps protect your heart, really helps to lower your risk of stroke and heart attack by the pathways it affects in the heart. And krill oil is really important for your brain, and it's helpful for your vision. You need these things. You need to put them back in your body because you're absorbing less from your food. Even if you eat like salmon three times a week, you're absorbing less of these ingredients from the salmon. You need to

take a Quillo oil every morning with breakfast. I recommend two capsules. There's a lot of things in there that are great for the brain. So it's beyond fishuals for the brain. It has other ingredients done good for your brain. Now, I put Phase two to help block the absorption of sugar and Macula advanced. Use the code when you call all of these things. You're getting fifty percent off suggested

retail on two bottles. But use the code get an extra ten percent off whether you call, whether you go into the store, or whether you go online and order on your computer. Jerry wor get ten percent off Jerry war Thanks for listening. Hang on for Amanda.

have many folks who deal with stress. So I'm going to talk about different formulations today that can hone in on that and give us kind of an upper hand when it comes to to better stress management, and in turn that will help to support better gi health because when we have any degree of gut dyspiosis, meaning an imbalance of healthy bacteria in the gut, this can accelerate the inflammatory process in the body, and when that happens, that can worsen any type of condition that you were

dealing with, whether that's arthritis, whether you're dealing with blood sugar issues such as diabetes or pre diabetes, if you have a heart condition. So we always want to zero in on how do we improve upon gut health, and there are many different things that we can be doing. It's a comprehensive approach. As I always say, we have to look at lifestyle modifications and the way in which our diet is driving so much of this. We have to look at you know, are we tunes to sedentary?

Are we moving enough? All of these things in totality make a big difference in how our body is reacting and responding to to stress and how we actually properly absorb the foods that we're eating. Now, ideally we're going to be you know, adhering to a Mediterranean style way of eating, which is going to incorporate higher fiber. I was just reading an article actually on a gi surgeon who treats predominantly colon cancers, and that was.

way that we need it to work. So this is why adherence to a Mediterranean diet is so important, because you are going to have a greater exposure to those fruits and the vegetables, the seeds and the nuts that yield you that high amount of fibers. So it was just an interesting little article that I was reading.

Typical American usually struggles to get ten grams of fiber per day. So when you look at the bigger, broader picture when it comes to GI issues and folks who are dealing with conditions such as irritable bowel disease and IBS, and we certainly see the rate of colon cancer on the rise, especially in individuals who.

their life. So you say, okay, well, if you've got seventy five percent of Americans who are dealing with what they recognize to be an elevated amount of stress, and then we partner this up and we say, okay, well, you know, why is obesity on the rise, Why is non alcoholic fatty liver disease on the rise, Why is

the you know, colon cancer rates on the rise. And we have to be able to tie stress in to this because remember, when the body is under stress, it makes it very difficult for us to heal and to repair.

I was, you know, adhering to a Mediterranean diet. I'm taking my supplements every single day, and I'm exercising, not.

or breathing techniques, guided imagery. For example, I find that music therapy for me is kind of.

their stress. And the unfortunate answer to that is not many. Of course, all of you who listen to Invite Health Radio, you hear from Jerry Hickey, you hear from me, and we talk about the importance of incorporating in nutrients like elthianine and the power of elthianine, that very potent amino acid that's derived from green tea, and how that works to allow the body to enhance the GABBA release. So

GABBA is your calming neurotransmitter. And the scientific studies on elthianine are so incredible impressive, and the Nutrients Journal in twenty nineteen they were looking at the impact of althianine supplementation on stress related symptoms and cognitive function. Because remember, as I mentioned, if you have a high amount of stress, oftentimes this will affect your attention, focus, memory. I would say,

if you're incredibly stressed out. Try walking into a grocery store and then pausing for a moment and say, what did I come in here for. So that's kind of one of those perfect examples of you know how stress in that immediate time can affect our cognitive abilities. So you take chronic stress and you can see how detrimental that can be when it comes to memory, focus and attention, not to mention how it's affecting your GI tract and

driving up inflammation throughout the entire body. So so in this randomized placebo controlled trial, this was double blinded, which is always important. We always look for the type of study when they're testing these things. And they took a group of individuals who were quote unquote healthy, but now we know, okay, seventy five percent of Americans are dealing with stress on a regular basis.

But as researchers do, they always want to convince themselves of a prior study, and through doing this analysis, they could clearly see that the lthenin had this very not only protective measure, but the ability to promote overall mental health quality. So levels of depression and anxiety were starting to drop in those groups.

knows what's precipitating that. You know, it could be something happening at work, something happening in your personal life. But in any event, we know that we can turn to elthenine.

by one of our stores. We're open seven days week. We are there today, so you can stop by a store. You can go to our website invitehealth dot com, or you can give us a call and you're gonna hear the number to call during this break, So stick around with me.

welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams, and we are talking about elthening this really interesting study that came out show me that just in one month, these individuals were, you know, coming back and saying, oh my goodness, you know my sleep quality has improved. And here's just a little fun tip on the invite health lthening. If sleep is your issue, take elthianing before bed so

are LTHENINGE. There are one hundred milligrams per can, so you can take two if you need to take three, but a half an hour before you're ready to go to sleep. It really helps to kind of set that tone and allows the body to release more gabba. So that's your calming neurotransmitter, and it can really improve the quality of sleep that you will get. And you can take it during the day. But I said, what I

love about it is it's one of those nutrients. It's not that you have to take it, you know for months and months and months before you say, well, you know, I think this is working. You take it today, you're going to notice it today. So that's always a great thing to have because there's many different things that can pop up throughout your day that can drive up your stress, and you know, it's one thing if it's the normal stress response. I always say stress comes in two different forms.

You know, you have good stress, which is known as you stress, and then you have bad stress, which is distress. We don't want bad stress, chronic regular stress that can lead to burnout, and once we hit burnout, that's very difficult to kind of climb back from. So we have to to realize that the body is supposed to have a stress response. When you think about fight or flight for example, that's the perfect way to look at the body's self regulation of stress. But many folks go not

from you know, fight or flight. They're just in a constant, you know, stress cycle, and that is not ideal. So we have to be able to regulate that HPA access, which is your hypothalmic pituitary adrenal access. And we have to be able to to regulate how cortisol, which is that main stress hormone that most folks think about, but we know that there are other you know, hormones that are released and you know this can affect blood pressure

as an example. You know, if we are stressed out and that's affecting our epinephrin or our nor epinephrin or our eldosterone levels, this can affect our cardiac function. So regulation of the stress is so key, and you know, I mean there can be physiological reasons for you know, stress levels going up. You know, is it because you have low blood pressure or even low blood sugar. We know that that can create that lighter fight response in the body. So this is why the body is programmed

this way. However, that chronic stress, that's when we shift away from acute stress, which is kind of good. I often describe, you know, the use stress or good stress as maybe you're excited because you're going on a trip, or you know, maybe you're getting ready to go on a rollercoaster and you're kind of nervous, but you're also excited about it. So that's good stress.

heavy in protein. You go out with some friends and you have a big steak dinner as an example, you get home, you're like, oh gosh, this feels not so great. Take your bromolane. Bromolane is a protealytic digestive enzyme and it will aid in breaking down the protein.

uncomfortable bromoline. Bromoline is so wonderful for targeting that type of inflammation and has been studied and shown to be just as beneficial as taking a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug, which we know those come with a whole slew of side effects. So when you're looking at your ibuprofens and the likes, when we can turn to bermolaine. So this is why you should always have bromolaine on hand. I can't tell you how many times I have turned to bromoline,

and once again it's quick acting. How much should you take it really depends, you know, in the setting of kind of a acute injury, you'd likely want to be taking a thousand in to three thousand milligrams per day just kind of just depends on the person. I mean, I know myself, if I take a thousand, I get very good coverage with that. I have other folks where, you know, they find two thousand milligrams is their sweet spot. If you're using it for a digestive enzyme, usually five

hundred to a thousand is sufficient. So but always just reach out to one of our nutritional experts and they can give you some guidance on that. But so brom lane and theening two things you should always have on board. We can see how you know. Elthenine reduces not only the psychological stress response, but also the physiological response to stress. And this is important because remember the two are completely connected.

We can't look and say, okay, I'm stressed and I feel that stress in my brain or like, emotionally I'm feeling stressed out. If you're emotionally feeling stressed out, that means you are also physiologically feeling that stress. And we know that the althenine that is derived as mentioned from green tea, really has this nice ability to target the

physiological effects of stress. And in the study that was published back in two thousand and seven, so going back in time a little bit here, but the Biological Psychology Journal looked at how the althenine actually helped with even

regulating heart rate and blood pressure. So althenie, they said, could have this very powerful anti stress effect, not only in terms of how someone's emotionally feeling about how their body is physiologically responding to that, and certainly it goes even beyond and once again that.

the gut. So within the intestines to help your good, healthy bacteria produce higher amounts of those short chain fatty acids like butyrate, which can help to work as an anti inflammatory. So this whycillium, for example, cilium fiber, why that's so helpful because it allows the body to produce more butyrate. So butteric acid works as a natural anti inflammatory in the body, and we can see how althenine

is doing the same thing. So if you're dealing with stress and irritable bowel and goodness gracious, if you have IBS and it's affecting your life because you're like, I can't leave the house because you know, I may feel like I have to run to the bathroom that I'm sure cannot be a fun experience, and it's going to drive your stress level up.

food source for those five strains of healthy bacteria. So when you're taking probiotic chacks, you can rest assured that the potency and the viability the live bacteria, they are going to be thriving because they have that food source.

dealing with conditions such as irritable bowel, alterative colitis, leaky gut, this probiotic hax this should be part of your staple routine. But also keep in mind that there's such a strong connection between the gut and the brain. So if you have high levels of stress, if you're one of those seventy five percent of Americans who says, yes, I have a lot of daily stressors that impact the way that I feel, can affect my digestive health, can affect my

cognitive health. Taking probiotic HAX each day can really give you this wonderful balance to help better regulate that communication pathway between the gut and the brain. And that's always what we are seeking. So we add in that probiotic HAX. We know that that's going to help to support healthy digestion each day, it's going to help regulate inflammation.

I feel better, I feel like I have better bowel regularity. I feel mentally clear. I feel like I'm not sneezing as much from the pollens that are in the air. So probiotic HX definitely a go to. I also want to talk about our digestive HX. I'm looking at the clock. I realize I do need to squeeze in a quick break, so but when I get back, I'm to talk about digestive HAX and why this product is so important, especially as we get older.

welcome back to Invite Health Radio. I am doctor Amanda Williams. Happy Saturday morning to everyone. Got March Madness wrapping up.

many years ago. My brother's team. My brother played at MISSOO at University of Missouri, and throughout a good portion of the season they were ranked number one, but they went into the tournament and they were ranked third, and they lost in the first round to you know, just one of those teams that you're not supposed to lose to.

like that type of stuff. Now digestive HX, this is our go to This is a power blend of digestive enzymes to help support the way in which your body breaks down the foods that you're eating. Now, this certainly matters because as we get older, unfortunately, our natural production of those digestive enzymes begins to diminish. And I often talk about how, you know, maybe five years ago there was this big trend and you know, traditional doctors being like, oh,

you've got pancreatic insufficiency. Uh, what is pancreatic insufficiency? You're pancreas isn't making enough digestive enzymes. Is this something that's known?

as they were getting older. And then they compared it to people who were in their thirties, and they compared that to people who were in their seventies and they could clearly see that people in their seventies are not making the same amount of enzymes as people who were in their thirties, which is why for many folks and when they get to a certain age, they may find that some of the foods that they used to enjoy

eating they don't enjoy them as much. Or they say, you know, I used to enjoy eating a salad every day, but now I find that that's it's harder on my gut. After I eat a salad, I just I don't feel so good. Well, we certainly know that raw vegetables in particular are one of the bigger problems for folks who

are already dealing with enzyme deficiencies. But the other issue is is that when you look at your vegetables, it's not like the body has a particular enzyme known as cellulase to break down the cellulose.

so the movement of that food. But the problem is is that that action also can start to kind of diminish as we get older, which is why for many individuals, as they get older, they find that having steamed vegetables or cooked vegetables is much easier for them to digest

as opposed to raw. So if you fall into that category, if you're listening and saying, oh, yeah, you know what the last time I was, you know, eating some raw broccoli, I did notice I didn't feel as good afterwards, then this is why, and so we have to be able

to address that. And this is where digestive HX can be very helpful because we added into this formulation a very powerful enzyme known as alpha galactic sidease, and the alpha galactusidease enzyme works to break down those the outer membrane of those vegetables, which is key because then that makes it easier for perhaps our slowed peristalsis to work more efficiently. So when you're taking digestive HX, and the way that I advise taking it is about fifteen minutes

prior to eating. Now, let's face the reality here, seventy five percent of Americans are dealing with stress.

you know, acid reflux, feeling bloated after a meal. This product, the digestive HX, This helps to support that proper digestion, having the amylase to break down the carbs, having the liepase to break down the fats, the proteases in this it also contains bromline, so we have bromline added into this formulation and digestion itself. I would say it starts from when we see the food, we smell the food,

which is why mindful eating is really important. And when I say mindful eating, put everything down, pause, give your body ten or fifteen minutes to actually enjoy your foods and think about what you are about to eat.

of enzymes in our mouth. So the different salivary analysis for example, and salivary lie pace, and then we start chewing our food, and then we go down into the stomach, and this is where we hit those different gastric juices and the hydrochloric acid pepsin, and then we go into the small intestines where we have these other enzymes that are working to enhance the way that are our body

can actually absorb those nutrients. So if we're adhering to a Mediterranean diet, for example, which is loaded with all of those wonderful vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, we want to be able to absorb those and this is where digestive HX can be so incredibly helpful because it actually is allowing

your full enzymatic process to work much more efficiently. So if you're dealing with irritable bowel, if you're dealing with alterative colitis, or if you have a chronic GI related issue and you're not taking a digestive enzyme each day before your meals, this is a place that can make

a huge difference in how you are feeling. And we also know that each one of these different individual enzymes that are contained in the digestive HX also do a really lovely job once again with the immune system response, regulating inflammation, and helping to support once again that gut

brain connection. We certainly know that dietary supplementation with a comprehensive enzyme blend, which is what's found in digestive HX, can really facilitate a high amount of healthier digestion and better absorption of your foods as well as your supplements. So maybe you're taking our core multivitamin every day, we want to make sure that we're enhancing the way in which those vitamins and.

taking digestive HX, they're taking probiotic HX. Maybe for some folks who have more of that acid reflux and heartburn, we add in min acid. And I want to tell you about the men acid formulation because it's really a wonderful go to for those occasional times where you do experience heartburn or indigestion. But I do need to squeeze in one more break, so stick around.

product line for many, many years. A much cleaner option, I will just say, as opposed to, you know, having to turn to the common thing, which is like tombs.

support that upper GI tract. If you're feeling kind of that burn up in the esophagus, this is a really comforting way to address this. And knowing in your mind, I'm using things from nature. I'm not putting chemicals into my system. I don't have to have concerns with you know, the artificial colors and artificial flavors any of that. So

you know, min acid definitely is a go to. I want to also mention I have the green TTX on special, and the reason why I put that on special is, you know, we can clearly see the power of EGCG when it comes to gut health and the way in which EGCG can support the healthy stress response, because when you're using the green TTX, you're going to be getting some natural health the inine coming from each one of those dropper folds, so you get the power of the

EGCG plus you get some lthanine, and this has been studied in that setting of really helping to regulate the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal access and in the Journal of Medicinal Foods in twenty eighteen they looked at this. They looked at the the overall effect of EGCG on behavioral and cognitive impairments when folks are under higher amounts of stress,

and the mechanism of how EGCG was working. So one of the things we know it's doing is it's a powerful antioxidant, so it's fighting off the oxidative stress or the free radicals that can be worsening that stress response. And at the same time it's helping to lower inflammation because remember with EGCG, it actually can turn off this

switch which is known as HMGB one. Not that we need to know the technical details of that, but that's a major regulator of inflammation in the body, and we know that the EGCG from green tea can help turn that off. So we're helping to lessen inflammation, we're lessening the body's chronic stress response, which means regulation of cortisol, and we're getting that exposure to the lthenine, so it

gives us that nice sense of calm. So it's kind of a win win across the board when you're using the green TTX formulation, and we also know that it

helps with the promotion of a healthy microbiome. There was a real fascinating research study that was done looking at C. Difficil, which is a very bad bacteria infection that can happen sometimes people will get this post antibiotic therapy, but they looked at how EGCG actually helped to improve upon the intestinal gut microbiome and create a homeostasis within the microbiome. This is in the setting of a really rough bacterial

infection that can do a significant amount of damage. So the power of EGCG and the many different utilizations of our green TTX is just kind of another one of those nutrients where if you have it on board, and even if you're not taking it every single day, maybe you take you know, one or two full droppers full add that in with four six ounces of water sip on that you can do it hot, you can do it cold. That's not going to affect it. Sometimes people do ask that, you know, can I drink this as

a hot tea. Yes, you certainly can.

around the corner. Maybe you're already thinking about your your beach bodies out there, so you know, having your green TTX is helpful for the immunes system, for a stress response, and you know, just to regulate inflammation. It's always interesting, especially during cold and flu season, when people will start to use our green TTX and then they come back and go you know, I was experiencing some you know, inflammation in my knee, you know, little arthritis.

which our body responds to stress. Very interesting to see what can happen to the natural glutamine levels in the body when the body goes through any major illness or injury. Glutamine itself is the most abundant amino acid found in the body, and we certainly know that it works to improve our immune function.

So taking the GI maintain and having the exposure to all of these different nutrients, including citrus pectin, which is in this formulation, and citrus pectin is a wonderful binder of different toxins. And if we are just cognizant of the fact that every single day we unfortunately are exposed to higher levels of toxins just from the air that we breathe, from things that we come in contact with, it would be very wise that we focus in on that.

That's why I talk about like greens ajex for example, why greens ahex because the greens ahex has the finite ability through the partnering of all of these different herbs and antioxidants to help the body detoxify each and every single day. Well, we can see the same thing with that citrus pectin. It goes in and it combined to things like heavy metals and other toxin that create havoc

in our system. So taking a scoop of GI maintain giving you this wonderful blend of courstin, and there's black tea leaf extract in this the L glutamine and you're getting one point five grams of L glutamine, So it's not like it's just a little sprinkle of L glutamine in this formulation. This can set that tone for the

healing that your GI tract needs. And so for folks who have been dealing with chronic problems with digestion for many, many years, this product can be your solution because it has so many nutrients partnered up together to optimize the way the body can heal itself. And you're getting those nutrients such as L glutamine, that most abundant amino acid that can do so much to re energize and to

heal you. So that's on special today along with the green TTX, the greens HX, the althenine, the min acid, the probiotic HX, and digestive HX.
