We have a great episode planned and will focus on Men's Health with a highlight on Hormones. Men are just as vulnerable as Women to having hormonal imbalances or even hormonal issues, but it is just not talked about enough.  Today we will talk about who, what, when and where.Talking Points:-Why do men need testosterone?Testosterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in men's health. Low or deficient levels are associated with fatigue, weight gain, muscle and bone mass loss, low libido, depression, impotence, poor memory, and other symptoms.There are many reasons why men can have low testosterone.-How common is Low Testosterone?Low or deficient testosterone in males is problematic in America. According to the Cleveland Clinic, low testosterone affects almost 40% of men aged 45 and older! Testosterone deficiency negatively affects a man's quality of life and is a known risk factor for early death. Testosterone levels are at their highest levels by early adulthood and then decrease by 1% to 2% a year beginning in the 40's.-What causes Low Testosterone?I find that testosterone deficiency or sub-optimal testosterone levels are common in both men and women. If your testosterone levels are low, then you may experience:FatigueLow libidoPoor memory and concentrationLoss of muscle massLoss of bone massIncreased body fatPoor exercise recoveryElevated cholesterol levelsDepressionDecreased resistance to stressErectile Dysfunction (men)Increased heart disease risk-Are there certain foods that can raise or lower Testosterone?-Estrogen Dominance in Men-Let's move on and talk about the Prostate. What is Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH?-ROOT CAUSES-How Common-Can it lead to Hormone Imbalance?-ED and Low Libido-Bladder and urinary tract issues?-Any Supportive Supplements for Men dealing with lower Testosterone levels?There are not many supplements proven to increase men's testosterone levels. However, a unique extract of the ayurvedic herb known as ashwagandha has been shown in several studies to elevate male testosterone levels.The ashwagandha extract known as KSM-66 was shown in a recent study to significantly increase blood testosterone levels and sexual well-being. The study involved fifty participants with low sexual desire who were given KSM-66 at a dose of 600 mg or placebo daily. Outcomes were measured with a questionnaire and blood testosterone levels at the beginning and end of the 8-week study. Compared to the placebo, the KSM-66 demonstrated significant benefits.The ashwagandha extract in this study is the same one I use in Testosterone Health  (which has 675 mg of KSM-66 per serving). This supplemental approach gives men the potential to improve their libido and testosterone levels without prescription testosterone.-Does Saw Palmetto Really Help the Prostate?Learn more about Dr.StenglerLearn more about Emerald Labs and save 20% off with the code: Forever

In this Episode we shared why Sea vegetables are the most nutritionally dense plants on the planet and the most abundant source of vitamins and minerals in the plant kingdom.  We highlight Anti-aging, Energy, and daily nutrition.To help us do the heavy lifting we have invited Greg Good, the CEO and Founder of FarmaSea and Sea Veg Whole Food Seaweed supplement.Sea vegetables are packed with protein, iodine, fiber and vitamins A, B, C and E in amounts that are 10 to 20 times higher than land vegetables, while some sea vegetables contain more calcium than milk. Sea lettuce has 25 times the iron found in beef. Which is great for people who can't have beef or prefer not to.An 8-week study of 60 Japanese people revealed that fucoxanthin, a substance in brown seaweed, may help improve blood sugar control.Another substance in seaweed called alginate prevented blood sugar spikes in animals after they were fed a high-sugar meal. It's thought that alginate may reduce the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.A 2023 meta-analysis Trusted Source found that brown seaweed consumption significantly improved blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).Anyone who wants help to feel more natural energy, take a preventative approach to their health, manage the effects of aging, and look to bridge the nutritional gaps currently they're not getting in their daily diet.

To help us unpack all the research and studies we have Dr. Stengler joining us today.In addition to authoring 30 books on health and several best-sellers such as “The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies,” “Prescription for Natural Cures,” “Prescription for Drug Alternatives,” and “Outside the Box Cancer Therapies,” Dr. Stengler has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals such as The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism International Journal, and Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering.Dr. Stengler's, NMD. The newest book is called, The Holistic Guide to Gut Health. A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.Talking Points:Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. Several human studies have demonstrated that PEA has broad-spectrum pain-relieving properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and nerve protection.PEA was first discovered in 1957 by scientists at Merck Sharp & Dohme, who isolated it from egg yolk, peanut meal, and soy lecithin. They found that PEA had anti-inflammatory properties in guinea pigs.However, PEA's role as a potential therapeutic agent was not widely recognized until 1993, when Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleagues published research that suggested PEA has anti-inflammatory properties. Levi-Montalcini's group termed PEA an autocoid local injury antagonist (ALIA), and suggested that it acts locally to counteract injuryMultiple studies have demonstrated that PEA improves all sorts of pain. For example, a 2023 analysis of 11 studies found that PEA improved pain of various conditions, including muscle and joints, nerves, gynecological, and digestive. In terms of joint pain, a high-quality study demonstrated that PEA significantly reduced adult joint pain compared to placebo. Moreover, 8 clinical trials demonstrated that PEA was effective for low back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Even migraine headache pain was shown in published research to be improved with PEA.Lipid mediators help to balance the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, affecting pain pathways related to inflammation. But unfortunately, due to changing diets, many of us do not get the nutrition and activity we need to make enough PEA ourselves.Supplemental PEA, by Levagen+ is properly formulated for optimal bioavailability, 75% more bioavailable to cell receptors than dietary forms. Levagen+ liposomal delivery of PEA has been clinically studied and shows benefits in joint pain, nerve pain, migraine, infections, sleep, and cognitive function.Learn more about Emerald Labs PEA+ Levagen Use the code: Forever and get 20% off your order.

DHEA was first identified in 1931 by Dr. Adolf Butenandt, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1939. Frequently called “the anti-aging hormone”, DHEA is a base for more than 50 hormones that are smaller or more specific carbon chain molecules in human biochemistry. As a precursor for all estrogenic and androgenic hormones, humans make DHEA naturally from birth.It's now well established that chronic stress leads to an out-pouring of cortisol and with that, a gradual depletion of DHEA. DHEA is a prohormone – a natural building block for hormones our bodies make. Over time, this hormonal imbalance can lead to brain fog, thinning bones, weight gain, low sex drive and poor Immune function.Maintaining proper DHEA levels in the body is important to your overall health and may lead to Increased energy, enhanced mood and focus, sound sleep, and better letting skin.Guest: Joining us today is Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream.

Let's set the stage and talk about Good Digestion vs. Bad…To understand what goes wrong with digestion, it is important to understand how it works. As food mixed with saliva enters the stom­ach, it is broken down into small particles by stomach acid, then by enzymes produced by the pancre­as and bile produced by the liver. “Good” bacteria (flora) in the small intestine complete the job of break­ing down nutrients so that they can be absorbed. Indigestible parts of food, such as fiber, and other waste products are pushed into the colon where they remain until eliminated.It also serves as a barrier to prevent undigested food, large molecules and foreign substances, such as harmful bacteria and yeast, from getting through. When the lin­ing of the small intestine becomes irritated and inflamed, it is unable to do its job properly.  As a result, bacteria and undigested food “leak” into the bloodstream.  Officially this is called increased intestinal perme­ability, but more often the problem is called leaky gut syndrome.Learn more about Dr. Mark Stengler, NMDLearn more about The Holistic Guide to Gut HealthEmerald Labs Leaky Gut Health can be found at Sprouts, Natural Grocers, and other Natural Health retailers nationwide.Buy direct and  get 20% off at Emeraldlabs.com when using the code: Forever

To help us unpack all the research and studies we have Dr. Stengler joining us today.In addition to authoring 30 books on health and several best-sellers such as “The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies,” “Prescription for Natural Cures,” “Prescription for Drug Alternatives,” and “Outside the Box Cancer Therapies,” Dr. Stengler has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals such as The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism International Journal, and Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering.The newest book is called, The Holistic Guide to Gut Health. A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.Talking Points:Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. Several human studies have demonstrated that PEA has broad-spectrum pain-relieving properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and nerve protection.PEA was first discovered in 1957 by scientists at Merck Sharp & Dohme, who isolated it from egg yolk, peanut meal, and soy lecithin. They found that PEA had anti-inflammatory properties in guinea pigs.However, PEA's role as a potential therapeutic agent was not widely recognized until 1993, when Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleagues published research that suggested PEA has anti-inflammatory properties. Levi-Montalcini's group termed PEA an autocoid local injury antagonist (ALIA), and suggested that it acts locally to counteract injuryMultiple studies have demonstrated that PEA improves all sorts of pain. For example, a 2023 analysis of 11 studies found that PEA improved pain of various conditions, including muscle and joints, nerves, gynecological, and digestive. In terms of joint pain, a high-quality study demonstrated that PEA significantly reduced adult joint pain compared to placebo. Moreover, 8 clinical trials demonstrated that PEA was effective for low back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Even migraine headache pain was shown in published research to be improved with PEA.Lipid mediators help to balance the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, affecting pain pathways related to inflammation. But unfortunately, due to changing diets, many of us do not get the nutrition and activity we need to make enough PEA ourselves.Supplemental PEA, by Levagen+ is properly formulated for optimal bioavailability, 75% more bioavailable to cell receptors than dietary formsLevagen+ liposomal delivery of PEA has been clinically studied and shows benefits in joint pain, nerve pain, migraine, infections, sleep, and cognitive function.Learn more about Emerald Labs PEA+ Levagen Use the code: Forever and get 20% off your order.

Collagen makes up the structure of our cells and tissues – thus impacting every area of our health. One of the most well-documented benefits of collagen is its positive impact on skin health.

Research suggests that collagen supplementation may help alleviate joint pain and stiffness, particularly in individuals with conditions like osteoarthritis.

Americans are more stressed than ever before due to the pandemic, financial situations, medications, overconsumption of alcohol,imbalanced diet, poor gut health, and environmental toxins. As a result, many people are tired, depressed, have poor memory and focus, and have weakened immune systems.According to research, Boosting B vitamin levels quickly improves energy. A deficiency of just one B vitamin will negatively affect the complex production of energy (ATP) in your cells. While people usually think of Supplemental B12 for energy, one will typically get better results with a full spectrum B complex since many of the B's are involved in ATP production.Recently Dr. Mark Stengler, NMD. put out a helpful article that can be found here.Many medications deplete the body of B vitamins. Examples include acid reflux medications such as the Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), Prednisone, Metformin, Antibiotics, Birth Control Pills, Anti-seizure medications, Antidepressants, Chemotherapy drugs such as Methotrexate, and several others. Research has shown that the elderly who take three or more medications are prone to B vitamin deficiencies such as B2, B6, Folate, and B12.Helpful ArticleLearn more about Emerald Labs Listeners of the show can save 20% with the code: Forever

As we get older, we gradually make less and less DHEA after age 25. Interestingly, as we get older, we make more and more cortisol; and less and less DHEA. DHEA is what helps counterbalances cortisol in the body.Ideally, cortisol is only released into the system occasionally, as a protective response, rather than on a chronic basis.  But in today's busy world, most people deal with ongoing stress every day, for years at a time.  If cortisol levels are too high for too long, they may have undesirable side effects including feeling tired, bloated… loss of bone density, muscle wasting, thinning of skin, fluid retention, weight gain, increased vulnerability to bacteria, viruses, and cancer.When cortisol is up, your DHEA levels are down….and vice versa The two hormones have an inverse relationship in the body. DHEA counterbalances the harmful inflammatory effects of cortisol. The ideal ratio of DHEA to cortisol is 10 to 1.  But for most people over 45, they have far too much cortisol and not enough DHEA.Do you lack energy, feel washed out and tired? Or maybe you have been experiencing age related challenges? There is a large chance diminishing levels of DHEA may be the cause.Joining us today is Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream.

We shared about fluoride in the water supply, ways to support oral care, and ended with respiratory tips for the cold months ahead.Our guest today is our good friend, Nathan Jones.  It has been over 2 decades now (2000) since he founded Xlear, Inc., the xylitol-product based company whose revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral health has improved the quality of life for people around the globe.Most allergens enter the body through the nose, although the mouth and eyes are also common entry points. Keeping these gateways to the body clean is of utmost importance during allergy season if you want to reduce symptoms and not rely on antihistamines. There are other products out there, such as Xlear Nasal Spray with xylitol, which can help keep the nasal passage clean and clear of seasonal allergies, all without the negative side effects that antihistamines can cause. The addition of xylitol allows Xlear to be hypertonic, without causing the uncomfortable burning sensation that accompanies traditional saline nasal sprays. This hypertonicity means that more moisture is being pulled into the nose to help wash out contaminants and ensure the nose and sinuses are hydratedIf you're on the lookout for an antihistamine-free remedy to your allergies this season, give Xlear a try.Xlear Nasal Products are available at Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Rite Aid, Target, Kroger, Publix, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide. They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.Spry Dental Products are available at Wegmans, Vitamin Shoppe, Sprouts Farmers Markets, Natural Grocers, and most all Natural market retailers.  They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.Learn more about Xylitol 101Check out Xlear's NEW online store

Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.Talking Points:Palmitoylethanolamide, is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. Several human studies have demonstrated that PEA has broad-spectrum pain-relieving properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and nerve protection.PEA was first discovered in 1957 by scientists at Merck Sharp & Dome, who isolated it from egg yolk, peanut meal, and soy lecithin. They found that PEA had anti-inflammatory properties in guinea pigs.However, PEA's role as a potential therapeutic agent was not widely recognized until 1993, when Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleagues published research that suggested PEA has anti-inflammatory properties. Levi-Montalcini's group termed PEA an autocoid local injury antagonist (ALIA), and suggested that it acts locally to counteract injuryMultiple studies have demonstrated that PEA improves all sorts of pain. For example, a 2023 analysis of 11 studies found that PEA improved pain of various conditions, including muscle and joints, nerves, gynecological, and digestive. In terms of joint pain, a high-quality study demonstrated that PEA significantly reduced adult joint pain compared to placebo. Moreover, 8 clinical trials demonstrated that PEA was effective for low back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Even migraine headache pain was shown in published research to be improved with PEA.Lipid mediators help to balance the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, affecting pain pathways related to inflammation. But unfortunately, due to changing diets, many of us do not get the nutrition and activity we need to make enough PEA ourselves.

Jane has the unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a naturopathic practitioner, spent years in Radiology and Ultrasound doing research and performing tests on patients with varying types of health problems.We look forward all year to family traditions enjoying our favorite recipes for food, beverages and treats during the holidays. Traveling to see friends and family or hosting special events. But during the holidays our digestive systems can take a beating.But let's be real, most of the daily habits that keep our digestion healthy during the year, get put on hold during the holidays. Over-indulging, staying up late, and stress physically and emotionally is part of most holidays as there are so many things to do!So, what do practitioners recommend to keep our digestive system balanced, yet still be able to enjoy the rich treats this holiday season?According to Jane Jahnsen, a Naturopathic practitioner, I often advise my patients to practice moderation and balance their holiday food and drink choices, On the actual holiday don't worry about enjoying yourself, unless you have specific health concerns that your doctor says otherwise. But don't give yourself excuses to overindulge every day leading up to or every day after the holiday. That includes food, treats, and beverages. Be mindful of becoming over stressed, or not sleeping well too. Your body talks to you all the time, listening to it and it will tell you when you, and your microbiome, are out of balance.Let's remind everyone that Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics are available at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods,and other natural health retailers across the U.S. Also available online.Visit www.essentialformulas.com for a retailer near you.Learn more about Jane
