Learn exactly how the flu makes you sick and how to interrupt each phase of infection. Discover the science-backed supplements that act as "fire extinguishers" for inflammation, why vitamin D and NAC are essential during flu season, and how to support your immune system before, during, and after viral infections to recover faster and stay healthier year-round. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS The flu is a viral infection that never truly leaves your body – it can lay dormant and flare up during times of stress, making prevention and immune support crucial year-round, not just during illness. Vitamin D and NAC are your immune system's "fire extinguishers" – both reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α and IL-6) that cause severe lung inflammation during flu infections, helping you recover faster and experience less severe symptoms. NAC does triple duty during flu season – it thins mucus for easier breathing, reduces inflammation in the lungs, and boosts glutathione production (your body's master antioxidant) to fight viral infections more effectively. Most people are deficient in the nutrients needed to fight flu – vitamin D deficiency affects most of the population, and low levels of glutathione, zinc, and selenium make you more vulnerable to severe viral infections and slower recovery. Viral infections deplete your adrenal glands – the constant stress response during and after flu infection tanks your HRV and DHEAS levels, requiring adrenal support to fully recover and prevent long-term fatigue or autoimmune-like symptoms. FEATURED PRODUCT The D - provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D3, which acts as a "fire extinguisher" for inflammatory cytokines released during viral infections, reducing lung inflammation and supporting your body's natural immune response.  Find it here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/the-d TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START 02:45 – Why the flu is a viral infection that never leaves your body 05:30 – How respiratory viruses spread and enter your system 08:15 – NAC: The game-changer for mucus, allergies, and lung inflammation 12:40 – Why vitamin D is your immune system's most powerful tool 16:20 – The science of inflammatory cytokines and how they damage your lungs 20:10 – Vitamin D studies: 10,000 IU protocol for flu prevention 24:35 – NAC and glutathione: Your body's master antioxidants explained 28:50 – Why people with fatty liver get sicker from viral infections 32:15 – Lysine, zinc, and selenium: Additional immune support nutrients 36:40 – The IV therapy protocol for sick patients in clinical practice 40:20 – Supporting your adrenal glands after flu infection 43:15 – HRV tracking and how to measure your body's stress response 46:00 – Product recommendations: The D, NAC+, Zen, and Gut Powder RESOURCES NAC Benefits for Health – https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/nac-benefit-health-3573010/ Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231123/ Vitamin D and Respiratory Health – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4488782/ The Antioxidant Role of Non-Vitamin, Non-Mineral Micronutrients – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8234027/ N-Acetylcysteine and Respiratory Diseases – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11278452/ The Role of Zinc in Antiviral Immunity – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8349606/ Selenium Supplementation and Influenza Vaccine Response – https://brieflands.com/journals/jkums/articles/69746 Selenium and Viral Infections – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6769590/ Immune Activation and Autonomic Nervous System in Post-Viral Fatigue – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10795785/ Long COVID and Heart Rate Variability Study – https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/long-covid-changes-heart-rate-variability-study-suggests CONNECT

Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates. Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label. Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function. Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – Even the highest-quality vitamins won't work if your gut can't absorb them. The Good Poops Protocol is designed to repair and support your digestive tract, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and breakdown.  Get it here: https://mswnutrition.com/pages/good-poops-org TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START – Welcome and episode overview 02:15 – Introduction to MSW Nutrition and the importance of quality supplements 04:30 – Red Flag #1: Poor bioavailability and why methylcobalamin beats cyanocobalamin 08:45 – The magnesium problem: glycinate vs. oxide and how to choose 11:20 – Red Flag #2: Artificial colors, dyes, and dangerous fillers in supplements 14:40 – Why MSW Nutrition supplements aren't on Amazon 17:30 – Red Flag #3: Under-dosing and why most multivitamins fail 20:15 – The vitamin D3 deficiency crisis and the importance of K2 23:45 – Red Flag #4: Synthetic folic acid vs. methylfolate and MTHFR mutations 27:30 – How MTHFR testing changed everything for proper supplementation 30:20 – Red Flag #5: The absence of amino acids in most multivitamins 33:10 – Why glutathione in oral form is a game-changer 35:45 – Final thoughts: Don't waste money on inferior supplements RESOURCES Example of Low-Quality Multivitamin Label – Common store-brand showing cyanocobalamin and synthetic ingredients https://www.naturemade.com/products/advanced-multivitamin-gummies-for-her?variant=41844880539787#pid=2 Red Dye 40 Health Risks – Research on inflammation, allergies, and hyperactivity links https://www.health.com/red-dye-40-8610527 Safety Concerns with Amazon Supplements – Study showing 83% contain unexpected ingredients https://www.verywellhealth.com/safety-of-amazon-supplements-6500961 Hidden Dangers of Buying Supplements from Amazon – Counterfeit products and contamination risks https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/the-hidden-dangers-of-buying-supplements-from-amazon/ar-AA1FF5vB MSW Nutrition Boost Multivitamin – High-quality example with methylated vitamins and amino acids https://mswnutrition.com/collections/best-sellers-1/products/boost?variant=29599579078728 CONNECT

Discover which morning vitamins maximize your energy and which ones sabotage your sleep. Learn the optimal timing for vitamin D3, B vitamins, NAD+, resveratrol, and magnesium threonate to support your body's natural rhythms. This episode reveals how strategic supplement timing can transform your daily performance and overall health without relying on coffee. (497 characters) 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Vitamin D3 is essential for morning routines – Taking 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 with K2 first thing in the morning boosts immune function and mood by mimicking natural sunlight exposure when your body needs it most. B vitamins power daytime energy production – B12, B9 (folate), B6, and B5 are water-soluble vitamins that support cellular energy, focus, and neurotransmitter production throughout the day without causing afternoon crashes like caffeine. NAD+ injections provide immediate cellular energy – This molecule naturally declines with age but can be replenished through injections that deliver hours or even days of sustained energy, making it particularly beneficial for menopausal women and anyone experiencing fatigue. Resveratrol supports mitochondrial function – This powerful antioxidant enhances energy production at the cellular level, supports cardiovascular health, and helps regulate blood sugar when taken during active daylight hours. Magnesium threonate protects brain function – Unlike other forms of magnesium, threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier to reduce neuroinflammation, enhance focus, and support cognitive performance throughout your demanding day.

Learn how to restore your adrenal function and reclaim your energy with this comprehensive 90-day reset plan. Nurse Doza maps out a practical approach to reversing adrenal fatigue through measurable testing (DHEAS and HRV), lifestyle modifications including belly breathing and sunlight exposure, and targeted supplementation to support your body's stress response and energy production. Character count: 394 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Measure Your Adrenal Function: DHEAS blood testing (optimal range: 200-250) provides a stable measurement of adrenal function over time without daily variation, while Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracks your recent stress response and nervous system health in real-time. Activate Rest and Digest Mode: Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) actively shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode by increasing parasympathetic activity, lowering cortisol levels, and improving HRV with just 4-7 minutes daily. Morning Sunlight Resets Your System: Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking naturally boosts cortisol production, increases serotonin synthesis, provides vitamin D, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep—aim for 30-45 minutes of direct sunlight without sunglasses. Support with Targeted Nutrition: Bovine adrenal gland extracts provide building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, a practice used successfully since the early 1900s, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) help regulate cortisol production and support energy metabolism. Address Underlying Trauma: Unresolved trauma from childhood or adulthood chronically activates your stress response and suppresses adrenal function—addressing it through therapies like CBT, EMDR, or somatic experiencing is essential for long-term adrenal recovery and nervous system regulation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen – featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol production—key factors in restoring energy and recovering from burnout as discussed in this episode. The bovine adrenal gland provides the building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) support healthy stress response. Zen is the gentle, targeted support your adrenals need during this 90-day reset.

Common medications like Tylenol, statins, and diabetes drugs quietly deplete essential nutrients and stress your liver. Learn which five medications cause nutritional deficiencies, what nutrients they deplete, and actionable steps to restore balance while protecting your liver health through targeted supplementation and lifestyle changes. FEATURED SUPPLEMENT Liver Boost – Every medication you take passes through and stresses your liver, depleting essential nutrients like glutathione, CoQ10, and B vitamins. Liver Boost is specifically formulated to support your liver's detoxification pathways and help regenerate liver function.  Learn more: https://mswnutrition.com/products/liver-boost 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Acetaminophen Destroys Glutathione – Every dose of Tylenol depletes your liver's master antioxidant (glutathione), reducing your body's ability to detoxify and fight inflammation, which can lead to liver toxicity with long-term use. Statins Lower CoQ10 Levels – Cholesterol medications deplete CoQ10, a critical nutrient for heart and liver function that supports mitochondrial energy production. Anyone on statins should supplement with CoQ10 to prevent deficiency. Metformin Causes B12 Deficiency – This common diabetes medication depletes vitamin B12, leading to fatigue, nerve damage, and digestive issues. Long-term metformin users need regular B12 monitoring and supplementation. Birth Control Depletes Multiple Nutrients – Oral contraceptives reduce B6, B9 (folate), and magnesium levels, affecting liver function, hormone regulation, and overall health, especially problematic for women on long-term birth control. PPIs Create Dangerous Deficiencies – Acid-reducing medications like Nexium deplete B12, magnesium, and zinc, impairing digestion, liver health, and nutrient absorption, creating a vicious cycle of deficiency.

Berberine and Liver Boost – Fibromyalgia is driven by chronic inflammation, and your liver is key to managing your body's inflammatory response. As you eliminate trigger foods discussed in this episode, Berberine and Liver Boost supports liver detoxification, helps regulate blood sugar, and reduces inflammation—essential for managing fibromyalgia symptoms. This promotion ends tomorrow! Get yours at https://berberineandliverboost.mswnutrition.com/  EPISODE SUMMARY Struggling with fibromyalgia? What you eat matters. In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals five common trigger foods that worsen fibromyalgia symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog. Learn why processed sugars, dairy, refined oils, nightshade vegetables, and legumes create inflammation in your nervous system, and discover healthier alternatives that support your body instead of harming it. Transform your fibromyalgia management through dietary changes. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Processed Sugar and Carbs Fuel Inflammation – MSG and aspartame found in processed foods directly trigger fibromyalgia flare-ups by increasing nervous system inflammation. Swap these for whole fruits, sweet potatoes, and raw cane sugar with cinnamon. Dairy Creates Digestive Inflammation – Casein in dairy products causes gut inflammation that worsens fibromyalgia symptoms. Replace with coconut milk, almond milk, and ghee as healthier alternatives. Refined Vegetable Oils Are Hidden Inflammatory Triggers – Canola, soybean, and corn oils are highly inflammatory. Switch to avocado oil, olive oil, and grass-fed butter for cooking and dressing. Nightshade Vegetables Contain Harmful Lectins – Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and mushrooms have anti-nutrients that damage your digestive tract and block mineral absorption. Choose cruciferous vegetables like broccoli instead. Legumes May Worsen Gut Health – Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peanuts contain lectins that create digestive inflammation and gas. If you can't eliminate them, soak or boil them to reduce lectin content, or choose sauerkraut for fiber. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START 02:30 – Understanding fibromyalgia as nervous system inflammation 04:15 – Food #1: Processed sugar, carbs, MSG, and aspartame 08:45 – Healthier sweet alternatives: fruits, dates, coconut, cinnamon 10:30 – Food #2: Dairy products and casein inflammation 13:20 – Dairy alternatives: coconut milk, almond milk, ghee 15:00 – Food #3: Refined vegetable oils and omega-6 fatty acids 17:45 – Better oil options: avocado, olive, grass-fed butter 19:30 – Food #4: Nightshade vegetables and lectins explained 22:15 – Nightshade alternatives: broccoli and cruciferous vegetables 23:45 – Food #5: Legumes, beans, and digestive inflammation 26:00 – Supplement recommendations: NAC+, gut powder, vitamin D, Zen 27:30 – Final thoughts and booking consultations   Nurse Doza Clinic – Schedule a consultation for fibromyalgia support: https://www.nursedoza.com/ MSW Nutrition Supplements – NAC+, Gut Powder, Vitamin D, and Zen: https://www.mswnutrition.com/ Berberine and Liver Boost – Featured product promotion: https://berberineandliverboost.mswnutrition.com/

Kim Meka shares her journey from narcissistic abuse to healing through plant medicine and radical self-discovery. After escaping a controlling marriage that stripped away her identity, Kim found restoration through ketamine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin therapies. She also discovered her ruptured breast implants were contributing to systemic inflammation, leading to their removal and a profound shift in her relationship with self-image and authenticity. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissistic abuse is about control, not ego - True narcissism is a personality disorder where abusers systematically isolate victims from support systems, control finances, and erode self-worth through manipulation and gaslighting. Plant medicine can reset the nervous system - Kim's PTSD and trauma were effectively treated through ketamine (for depression), ayahuasca (for self-love and inner child healing), and psilocybin (for complete PTSD resolution). Physical and mental trauma are interconnected - Kim's ruptured breast implants went undetected for years, contributing to systemic inflammation that mirrored her emotional state during trauma. Healing requires integration work - While plant medicine provided breakthroughs, lasting healing came from daily practices: journaling, meditation, exercise, and surrounding herself with authentic relationships. Rock bottom can be a foundation for transformation - Losing everything—money, possessions, identity—forced Kim to rebuild authentically, leading to deeper fulfillment than her previous "perfect" life ever provided.

From the massive gender gaps in clinical research to the misunderstood role of hormonal rhythms, this talk challenges nearly every conventional health assumption about women's physiology. You'll learn how the female biological rhythm affects everything from metabolism to cognition—and why the missing link in women's health isn't just about hormones, but about data, design, and decades of neglect.     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   • The Research Gap Is Real—and Deep Women were banned from clinical research until 1993, and even today remain underrepresented, especially in areas like drug trials, cardiovascular studies, and brain health.   • Bikini Medicine Isn't Enough Most “women's health” research still focuses narrowly on reproductive organs, ignoring how sex hormones impact the brain, immune system, metabolism, and more.   • The Female Biological Rhythm Is NOT 24 Hours Unlike men, women operate on a ~28-day hormonal rhythm—shifting cognition, metabolism, stress response, and energy throughout four distinct phases.   • Health Advice That Ignores Hormones Can Be Harmful Popular trends like intermittent fasting or high-intensity training may work well for men but can backfire for women if not timed to their hormonal cycle.   • Personalized, Phase-Based Health Is the Future Tracking one's own biological rhythm and learning phase-specific strategies for supplements, sleep, nutrition, and stress is the most empowering step women can take now.       Want to Learn How to Support Women's Health Holistically?

The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds isn't just about diet or workouts—it's your liver. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how your liver impacts fat loss through detox, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, and mindset. If you're stuck in your weight loss journey, your liver may be the key. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS The liver produces antioxidants like glutathione that directly reduce inflammation and support fat metabolism. Hormone balance—especially estrogen and cortisol regulation—depends on liver health. Blood sugar regulation starts with the liver, which stores and processes glucose after meals. Fat cells become inflamed without proper liver function, leading to leptin resistance and weight gain. Sustainable fat loss requires mindset shifts—and liver support helps you regain control.

In this episode of the School of Doza, we break down the science and strategies behind men's fertility—what affects it, what improves it, and why it matters just as much as female fertility. Nurse Doza shares five actionable ways men can improve sperm quality, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes using nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplements.   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Diet, especially Omega-3 intake, is critical for healthy sperm. Yoga improves hormone balance, circulation, and sperm DNA integrity. Excess weight and belly fat increase estrogen and reduce testosterone. Supplements like fish oil, carnitine, and vitamin D can boost fertility. Poor sleep reduces sperm concentration, motility, and hormone levels.   FEATURED PRODUCT Zen, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function, helping lower cortisol and improve energy.

In this episode, Nurse Doza uncovers the early warning signals of liver dysfunction, from chronic fatigue to weight gain, and explains how your diet, sleep, and stress levels impact liver health. Learn practical steps to support your liver naturally and optimize your well-being. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Persistent fatigue is often a sign of liver dysfunction, as the liver regulates energy metabolism. Poor sleep quality, including sleep apnea, is linked to an increased risk of liver disease. Gut health and liver function are closely connected—irregular bowel movements may indicate liver issues. Cognitive decline and brain fog can be early indicators of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Weight gain and metabolic imbalances are often tied to liver health and insulin resistance.
