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

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.

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, 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

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 stresses 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 or 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. Hugh is a subject matter expert on DHEA dedicating nearly 2 decades of his life studying the medical research about it, and starting a company to research, develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement that can be made and distributing it.In 2007 Mr. Woodward started Health2Go, Inc. to research and develop leading edge anti-aging and wellness products and bring them to people conveniently and cost effectively.Learn more at Twist25.com Listeners can get an additional 15% Off when using the code: forever at checkout or call 1-888-489-4782Helpful Article

Did you know that almost all forms of chronic disease are related in some way to mineral and vitamin deficiency. In addition to that as we age, we decrease the enzymes and stomach acid needed to properly absorb many minerals and vitamins.According to a review published in Frontiers in Marine Science in March, seaweed contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B12, C, D, and E, which offer various health benefits and prompt antioxidant activity. Seaweed may contribute to a lower risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disorders, Blood Sugar, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative disease.Due to its habitat, marine algae is also a great source of minerals, including potassium, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron, and zinc, all of which are required for optimal health and function. Plus, seaweed features dietary fibers and proteins, and bioactive ingredients including polysaccharides, polyphenols, phytochemicals, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.In our Opinion It is best to use a blend of them in supplements as certain sea plants contain various nutrients and phytonutrients used by the many systems of the body.
