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

Join Andrea Samadi as she reviews Dr. Shane Creado's insights on why sleep is a core pillar of brain health, how chronic sleep deprivation harms reaction time, inflammation, pain perception, and why children pay the highest price. Learn practical sleep strategies—consistent schedules, light management, wind-down routines—and how the Silva Method's mind-training can deepen restorative sleep for athletes, high performers, and families. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. This week, we move onto PART 2 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. Today, PART 2 we will continue with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). PART 3, next week, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Just a reminder: Dr. Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor and psychiatrist who practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, and sports psychiatry. He brings all of these specialties together to uncover the underlying factors that sabotage our sleep and then treats them comprehensively, helping people to achieve their health and performance goals with sleep at the forefront As we work through our reviews, we will spend a considerable amount of time on this important health staple that's scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health. For today's EP 379, and PART 2 of our review of our 2020 interview with Dr. Shane Creado, we will cover: ✔ Sleep as a core pillar of health according to Dr. Shane Creado, author of Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes. ✔ Sleep deprivation is a national crisis and kid's pay the highest price. ✔ 7 Well-Known Tips for Improving Sleep ✔ Applying the Silva Method to Reset and Improve Our Sleep ✔ Important sleep tips for athletes and high performers   Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep. CLIP 1 — Why Sleep Is Non-Negotiable for Brain Health Short Explanation: In Clip 1, Dr. Shane Creado explains that sleep is a foundational pillar of brain health, equal in importance to exercise and nutrition. He emphasizes that without optimizing sleep, it is impossible to truly optimize learning, emotional regulation, focus, or performance. Dr. Creado highlights that chronic sleep deprivation is widespread in the U.S., often unnoticed, and especially damaging for children—where lack of deep sleep suppresses growth hormone, increases obesity risk, and raises the likelihood of developing mental-health challenges later in life. His message is clear: when sleep improves, the entire “fabric” of life and health begins to change. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In our next video clip from Dr. Creado, I ask him to dive deeper into optimizing our brain health with a quote from his book that reads “your brain health and sports performance cannot be optimized unless your sleep is optimized. And once this is achieved your quality of life will skyrocket. When you sleep well, the fabric of your life will change. And when this happens, it will have a ripple effect.” This sounds like a simple concept, but for those of us who have been working on improving this pillar, we know it's one of those concepts that easier said, than done. Let's hear Dr. Creado's thoughts on my question- And Dr. Creado replied that “sleep is one of the pillars of brain health along with exercise and nutrition. And we need to make sure we're getting the right amount of sleep. Most adults and most teenagers don't know about this but a vast majority, 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep problem. And way more than those suffer from sleep deprivation, chronic sleep deprivation. If a child is deprived of sleep, their growth hormone levels will be suppressed because deep sleep is where growth hormone levels peak, so basically you are going to be stunting your growth. Over 80% of kids who are sleep deprived go on to develop obesity. There's a huge overlap between kids who are chronically sleep deprived who manifest mental health conditions later in life.”

New research shows that people with Alzheimer's have higher cortisol levels and a skewed cortisol-to-DHEA-S ratio, revealing that chronic stress drives early brain degeneration long before memory loss appears Cortisol, your body's main stress hormone, damages neurons and disrupts energy metabolism when it stays elevated, while DHEA-S acts as a protective neurosteroid that helps your brain resist inflammation and oxidative stress Bioenergetic researcher Georgi Dinkov connected these findings to thyroid and metabolic health, showing that when your cells don't produce enough energy, cortisol rises and accelerates cognitive decline Tracking your cortisol-to-DHEA-S ratio offers a powerful early warning sign for chronic stress and neurodegeneration, allowing you to take preventive action years before symptoms develop You can rebalance these hormones naturally by fueling your metabolism with adequate healthy carbohydrates, improving sleep and light exposure, reducing overtraining, practicing calming breathwork, and using natural progesterone to help quiet cortisol

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.
