Talking Points:

-What are Microplastics?
-How do they end up in our day to day?
-Why are Microplastics dangerous?
-Are there certain health conditions that arise in people?

Microplastics have been found in human blood, saliva, liver, kidneys, and placenta. While long-term human health effects are still being researched, studies suggest they may cause:
Harvard Medicine

-Inflammation and oxidative stress.
-Cell damage and tissue damage.
-Potential immune system disruption.

-How are we contributing to the problem?

-What are some of the microorganisms that can degrade micro plastics under optimum conditions?

(Like Bacillus organisms and those that are in kimchi, how humic can sequester them in our bodies and in the soil, and then the options in packaging won’t leave as much micro plastics pollution).

On this Episode our special guest has been in the wellness industry for more than 40 years. She has counseled thousands one-on-one in wellness and nutrition.

We had the pleasure of being educated by her over the years and that special guest is Kim Bright the founder of Bright core Nutrition. Kim’s here to share with us the ins and outs of Collagen with a highlight on one of Brightcore’s most popular products, Revive.

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. Clinical trials have shown that collagen supplementation can significantly enhance skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and contribute to a more youthful complexion.

Additionally, collagen plays a crucial role in supporting joint and bone health. Research suggests that collagen supplementation may help alleviate joint pain and stiffness, particularly in individuals with conditions like osteoarthritis. Collagen is also a component of tendons and ligaments, making it important for overall joint function.

Talking Points:
Why do we need Collagen?
What happens to Collagen during Aging?
Why having 5 forms is imperative.
Why is collagen good for bones and joints?
How does collagen benefit skin, hair and nails?

Did you know almost 90% of adults and children in the US are below the optimal vitamin D level of 40-60 nanograms per milliliter.

Every tissue in our bodies needs vitamin D and may be impaired if we do not get enough. In its most extreme forms, vitamin D deficiency may result in rickets in children and bone softening in adults. Milder degrees of deficiency are being studied as risk factors of a vast array of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Today we will be joined by a Vitamin D Subject Matter Expert. She is also a well-known Educator, Research Consultant, Functional Nutritionist, Acupuncturist, Certified Health Coach & Holistic Health Consultant and Published Co-author & Speaker.

That special guest is Jennifer L. Aliano, MS, LAc, HHP, CCN.
She has over 13 years of experience in vitamin D research & education, an Expert in nutrient research, public health advocacy & personalized health strategies; Advocate for individualized, holistic approaches to fertility, pregnancy & lifelong health.

She is currently the Executive Director of Grassroots Health, a 501c3 non-profit public health promotion and research organization supported by over 50 international senior vitamin D scientists and experts. Grassroots Health has been running the world’s largest public health intervention study – the D*action field trial – to solve the vitamin D deficiency epidemic, while focusing on promoting optimal health worldwide through nutrient research, education, and advocacy, with a primary focus on the role of vitamin D.

Knowing your vitamin D level is essential to determining if you are getting enough vitamin D! Everyone responds differently to vitamin D intake, meaning the same dose does not work the same for everyone. That’s why it’s imperative to TEST and not guess when it comes to your vitamin D status as it is important for all stages of health.

Shirley Gutkowski, CVO and Primary Practitioner at Primal Air, joins us today to help navigate the “transition” period between Cold & Flu Season and Springtime Seasonal Allergy season that we are in now. We will discuss the importance of using Xlear Nasal Spray with xylitol no matter what season it is to maximize our nasal breathing abilities for nasal hygiene, eliminate pollutants, and stay healthy. We will also talk about the petition that Xlear has filed with the FDA to recognize xylitol as an active anticaries ingredient so dental professionals and patients can finally access this powerful tool and what you as a listener can do to help. Xylitol, a safe and natural compound, has been proven to stop cavity-causing bacteria and dramatically reduce tooth decay AND help grow and form faces to reach their genetic potential!

We have a great show planned today and will talk about why there has been a significant rise in people of all ages using Creatine. 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:

Is creatine only useful for resistance / power type activities?

There are a variety of athletic events, not just resistance/power activities, which may benefit from creatine supplementation.

-Creatine supplementation with carbohydrate or carbohydrate and protein has been reported to promote greater muscle glycogen storage than carbohydrate supplementation alone.

-May reduce muscle damage and/or enhance recovery from intense exercise.

-Individuals supplementing their diet with creatine experienced less muscle damage, inflammation, and muscle soreness in response to running 30-km as well as during 4-weeks of intensified training.

-There is evidence that athletes who supplement with creatine during training experience fewer musculoskeletal injuries, accelerated recovery time from injury and less muscle atrophy after immobilization.

-Creatine supplementation (with or without glycerol) has been reported to help athletes hyper-hydrate and thereby enhance tolerance to exercise in the heat

-There is evidence from animal models that creatine supplementation is neuroprotective and can reduce the severity of spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, and concussion/traumatic brain injury. This evidence was so compelling that the International Society of Sports Nutrition recommended that athletes engaged in sports that have a potential for concussion and/or spinal cord injury take creatine for its neuroprotective effects.
