In today's episode, we're talking about 4 supplements that I believe most people will find effective in helping them maximize their life performance.

The most common nutrient deficiencies I see on bloodwork are vitamin D, B12 and iron. For people who are low in these 3 nutrients, rarely do I find dietary adjustments alone to be enough to increase nutrients to a meaningful level.

This doesn’t mean we don’t adjust our food routine to maximize nourishment, but it does mean that if your B12 is 200, it is not going to increase to levels of 800-1000 by eating more red meat.

In today's episode, we're talking about some natural measures we can take to lower blood pressure.

Hypertension or excessively high blood pressure increases the risk of heart, brain and kidney disease, strokes, and heart attacks.

On top of that, being on blood pressure medication often leads to fatigue, blood sugar issues, weight gain, decreased motivation and overall life performance.

Essentially, the side effect profile of the medications, predisposes people to the very diseases they are trying to avoid.

That's why we want to take every opportunity we can to improve blood pressure parameters without pharmaceutical intervention.

In this episode, I'm talking about why soy milk isn't all that it's promoted to be. In the USA, 94% of soybeans grown are genetically modified.

The reason for this is so that glyphosate can be sprayed on the field and kill everything, but the soybean plants.

As soybean production surged, the soy industry looked for new markets to absorb the oversupply.

Soy milk turned out to be a great way to create demand for soy byproducts, making it a lucrative business opportunity for soy producers.

A non GMO soybean as eaten heavily throughout Japan does have loads of potential health benefits. However, a soybean is not the same thing as ultra processed soy milk consumed in the United States.

In today's episode, we're talking about migraines. A migraine is your body screaming for help. Turning off the signal without helping the underlying process that is promoting the dysfunction is not a recipe for long term health.

Lifestyle can and does cure migraines.

Today, we're talking about 7 reasons why you may be getting migraines and what to do about them.

1. Consider eating a diet of near 100% digestible foods.

2. Hydrate!!!

3. Utilize agents and breathing routines that support a parasympathetic dominant state. You can check out previous videos where I discuss specifics on breathing and herbal adaptogens.

🎥 Mouth Breathing Affects Breath, Cognitive Function, Facial Development, Energy & More!

🎥 Breathing for High Potency Health

4. Work on your posture. 5. Check your home for mold issues.

🎥 Mold Toxicity

6. Look at your hormone balance especially estrogen and progesterone. 7. Consider iron, B12, folate, omega-3 to 6 ratio, vitamin D, RBC, magnesium, all these can easily be tested via blood.

🎥 Low B12 Symptoms (and the lab tests to run)

Also, not as easily tested via blood, but if you are doing all the lifestyle stuff consider looking into vitamin B2 (riboflavin), butterbur extract (herb), CoQ10, and melatonin therapy.

In today's episode, we're talking about how to keep your child "in the game".

Most kids are consuming licorice, pizza pockets, school lunches, Gatorade, Prime energy drinks, Muscle Milk and Premier protein drinks.

If you want your child to have the strongest bones, the best reaction time, the quickest first step, to possess calm in the midst of chaos, you have to fuel them nutrient dense food rather than food-like substances that are stripping them of resources with each bite.

Let's talk about what to feed kids to maximize their performance and overall health.

In today's episode I share how to prevent and get rid of a cold sore.

HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex virus-1) is transmitted via saliva - think sharing drinks, lipstick, utensils, and kissing. I hear some people even share toothbrushes.😱

Once inside, the virus targets skin cells near the site of entry, where it starts replicating.

After initial replication, it travels through sensory nerve fibers to the trigeminal ganglion (a nerve cluster near the brain) where it remains dormant. For many the virus gets held in ganglion jail and stays there and never becomes symptomatic.

For others, the painful cold sores or fever blisters form on the lips at the most inopportune times.

In today's episode I'm talking about B12. How do we assess for B12 sufficiency? So when it comes to B12 deficiency, the first thing to consider are your symptoms and your age.

If you are over 60, you are at an increased risk of B12 deficiency.

Now for the rest of us, symptoms like chronic headaches, fatigue, balance issues, cognitive or focus issues, depression, vision issues, neuropathic pains in the extremities, would all be symptoms that could be related to low B12.

If any of those symptoms are present, you may want to consume B12 in a lozenge or dropper form to see if symptoms improve over 3-4 months or have some blood tests run.
