And friend.
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.880
Many of you probably feel like he's your best friend.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.960
If you've heard from him before, he's been a regular on our Pulse Beat.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.000
He's been a regular just in the community of health and wellness.
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.679
And I know that he's on the cusp of many breakthroughs in the medical and wellness community.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:16.079
Um, but today we have the honor of speaking about, you know, preparedness from a standpoint of a neurosurgeon and how do we prepare for the couple months coming up, the time that we're living in right now.
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.640
And I'm so excited to have you with us, Dr.
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.159
Avery Jackson.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.239
Oh, thank you so much, Lisa.
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.040
It's an honor.
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.040
I'm excited about this topic.
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:42.719
I really appreciate the opportunity to talk about how we can you know be ready to go to help uh sustain our immune systems and our bodies, you know, the upcoming uh change in seasons, barometric pressure, drop in temperatures, everybody's got runny noses.
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:57.439
And so what are what is what are some natural uh natural things that we can do to really improve uh everyone's overall health and their overall uh kind of situation um both and for their families kind of going into this time.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:58.959
So I appreciate you having me.
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:00.719
Oh my goodness, absolutely.
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:10.560
And you know, for those of those that have not heard from you before, maybe have seen you in passing, can you share a little bit about your background because it's so impressive.
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:17.599
I mean, we're here we are today talking with a neurosurgeon, esteemed neurosurgeon, um, that's going to be talking about how we can stay healthy.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.879
And one thing we're gonna talk about today is also how stress affects our immune system.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:35.120
And, you know, we were talking before the call and what's going on with the hurricane and the election and fires and everything that's going on globally, it's overwhelming for our brain, and and how do we handle that?
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:36.240
Yeah, that's right.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:37.520
So a little bit about me.
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.159
I'm Aver Jackson, board certified neurosurgeon.
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:54.159
I've been in practice for over 20 years and seeing a lot of people, a lot of different issues, brain issues, brain trauma, spine, back issues, chronic pain, you know, all connected with anxiety, depression, all connected.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.080
So I think, you know, what's really important is, you know, you got to take care of your health and your family.
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.400
Uh, and so that starts with obviously your faith, you want to really build that up, you want to have great relationships.
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:14.319
And uh, you know, in the current setting, we're we don't really realize how important the first two uh issues are.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:21.120
And then, of course, the third is going to be your physical health, and that and cardiomiracle plays a role in that as well as your emotional health.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:31.599
The reason why I say that is that when you look at uh the fight or flight phenomenon that we all know about was coined by Walter Cannon, actually uh at Harvard.
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:47.439
And then about 70 years later, in the same lab at Harvard, um um Herbert Benson, a famous cardiologist, really began to create what is the science or the field of psychoneuro uh endo uh immunology.
00:03:47.599 --> 00:04:07.840
And that field deals with it is right, and it deals with your your emotional life, your physical life, uh, your spiritual life, and how they all come together to either benefit you when things are gonna are getting tough or not benefit you when things are getting tough, and they're all combined.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.520
So, you know, we've gone away from these uh the model of just saying it's just about your physical body.
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:19.920
And we understand, based on those models by Walter Cannon and then Herbert Benson, that it's uh there's more to it.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:42.560
And so, with that, you know, protect your relationships, make sure that you get exercise, and uh also lots of sun, what's amazing in terms of what uh what effects the sun have just has, just 15 minutes a day of walking outside, can make a huge difference at the level of the mitochondria, so the power pack cells in your body, so that you have more energy, right?
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.519
And then that's where cardio miracle plays a role.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.040
Here's there's so many good things to mention about cardio miracle.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.399
We could be here for hours.
00:04:52.560 --> 00:05:02.800
So let me cut to the chase on we could, and let me cut to the chase then on a couple of highlights during this season, the runny nose flu season change in temperature.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:11.279
I really enjoy uh the antioxidants that are in cardio miracle, and I want to focus in for a minute on the vitamin D.
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:26.000
The reason I want to do that is because we know that the vitamin D is actually a hormone, it's not a vitamin per se, but it regulates your immune system, inflammatory systems, your bones, uh, your bone marrow, right?
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:27.920
We've heard of bone marrow transplants, right?
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.839
So all of this uh is helped or hindered by vitamin D.
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:41.439
And cardiomerical actually has a large amount of vitamin D, which is extremely important, and it helps in activating the vitamin D.
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:42.480
What do I mean by that?
00:05:42.639 --> 00:06:03.360
So when you're looking at a cold or flu season, you want to make sure your vitamin D levels are adequate because the vitamin D will support your immune system, of course, along with vitamin C, but vitamin D in particular, Cardiom Miracle has uh four times the recommended uh daily amount, and I'm glad they that it's in there.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.879
John is brilliant in thinking about right issues that will affect our health.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:18.639
And as people, we go through seasons where there can be more uh, you know, there can be more colds and so forth, and you're gonna be around people who have colds, and that's how our bodies are are made.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:25.279
But activated vitamin D is critical in and instrumental in supporting our immune systems, okay?
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:32.639
And so activated means when you get the the sun uh around the sun that activates the vitamin D, it makes it bioavailable.
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.720
So now your body can use it in the right way.
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:45.040
Well, if you don't have the nutrition, nutritional foundation, if you don't have the vitamin D, if you don't have some of the other components that we find in cardiomerical, then you're behind the eight ball.
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.079
What happens?
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.720
And you know, and what happens is inflammation goes through the roof when you have a cold in your lungs, right, in your chest.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:07:00.160
If there's not adequate vitamin D, then you have a larger or greater inflammatory response.
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.720
So there's more coughing, there's more pain, there's all of that, your lungs are more reactive.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.920
When vitamin D is on board, those decrease.
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.560
So I'm just telling you all, that's a big deal.
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:21.199
And I'm again proud that vitamin that cardiomiracle has that vitamin D in there, okay, along with other components that buffer the vitamin D and the immune system.
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.519
So when I think about other things now, you add stress to it, right?
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:37.360
So we know that you've got your immune system is challenged because of the change in weather, and you know, now you throw in lack of sleep, throw in uh the stress that all of us are facing at different levels.
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:43.680
And that's why the other parts are so important the L-arginine, L-citrulline, the ornithine, carnitine.
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.199
So these are really important, the hawthorn berry, right?
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.079
Which is really cool.
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.480
These are important because again, what is interesting is people are running around drinking hawthorn syrup, right?
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.120
That's kind of like a staple for a long time, but we're not even sure.
00:07:59.279 --> 00:07:59.759
I mean, Dr.
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:20.319
Ave, you and I have talked about it many times, is if something is made with a lot of sugar and it's in a lot of these, you know, these syrups, they take one element of possible, you know, tool to be able to help with your immune system, then put it into a bottle mixed with possibly sometimes high fructose corn syrup, maybe a flavoring, maybe a uh, you know, a coloring.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:25.120
And at the end of the day, the amount that you're actually getting in the Hawthorne is very, very small.
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.120
And now you're getting all this other junk with it.
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:34.399
I mean, one of the things that we've talked about many times is we don't have all the synthetics, we don't have all the fillers, everything else in the cardiomyrical.
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.320
You really have just the raw nutrients.
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.600
That's exciting to me.
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:38.879
It's very exciting.
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.120
And and I also want to add, we're in a fast food society, right?
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.200
It's fast-paced, we don't have a lot of time.
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.679
We're, you know, we're we're doing so many different things, right?
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.039
We're industrious.
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.639
It used to be thought that fast food was bad.
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:57.200
Fast food had preservatives, fast food lacked nutrients, right?
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.639
And and now we have a food, an organic food that is fast.
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.679
Yeah, and right, but it's a good fast, right?
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.600
Cardio Miracle is fast.
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.720
It's a powder, yeah.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.360
It's a powder.
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.200
I put my water twice a day.
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.960
It tastes good, it's fast, but yet it gives me all of these amazing nutrients.
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.759
It helps support my immune system, it helps support uh you know my thinking process.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.720
Um, when our thinking is slow, that's called brady phrenia, slowness of thought, right?
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:35.759
So the beats that are in there and the other components really supercharge my my uh my thinking, and so that I'm very I'm sharp, especially during surgery.
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.600
So, again, this is the opposite.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:42.159
This is the good form of fast food that society demands, right?
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.279
That society demands, and it's a food, it's wonderful.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:52.879
Well, I know myself, I mean, you and I both travel extensively, and you walk through the airport, you're kind of scratching your head, going, you know, what do I eat?
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.720
Because we know that the there's different energy levels of food.
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:05.360
So if your energy level is up here with the cardiomerical product, and then you're walking through an airport, you eat a lot of junk, your energy is going to come down.
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:12.639
And when our energy comes down and we're not stimulating our T cells, this is when we run into the problem with our immune system, correct?
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:13.679
That's exactly right.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:23.200
That's why I have there are these little packets too of cardiomerical that I'll take out and I'll put in a uh a bottle of water, shake it up, and and between flights, I'm good.
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:32.240
I drink that and I get a boost and I'm able to read and do some other things on the plane, and I'm I'm more uh productive uh than otherwise than I would be otherwise.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:44.879
So it's also a help as it relates to with flights, you know, you're you're sitting for long periods, or even if you're um at home or if you're um you know in the workplace and you're doing a lot of sitting, you know, looking at the computer.
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:59.120
Well, the nitric oxide is an amazing formula, one-of-a-kind formula that it extends the release uh and sustainability of bioavailable nitric oxide in your body up to 33 hours, which is absolutely amazing.
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:00.240
What does that do?
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:01.919
It does a whole bunch of stuff.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.960
But in a nutshell, there are two things that I'm really excited about.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:13.919
The first of which is it dilates the blood vessels so you get more blood flow, which is important to your brain, to your lungs, to your liver, to your, you know, your legs.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:27.279
The other piece is that it actually helps to uh um support the reparative processes in the uh the blood vessels when the blood vessel walls begin to break down on the inside.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.840
And so that's really fascinating because there's a ton of science out there behind that.
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:40.399
I think there's over uh there's hundreds, if not a thousand papers on nitric nitric oxide's effect on damaged blood vessel walls.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:50.960
So this has a monumental nitric oxide formula that's sustained and supported by all of the other over 50 ingredients that exist in it.
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:58.480
Well, and all these people, you know, we're sitting here today with monumental attacks on our country, you know, not only with the hurricanes.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:04.720
And we were just talking before to a young lady that now you have tornadoes on top of hurricanes, and pretty soon, who knows, right?
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.919
And now we look at the recovery phase of all of this.
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:13.120
Um, we're praying that the the damage will be minimal, but goodness, people walk out of this.
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:26.799
I mean, I read an article yesterday talking about the mold spores now that are already starting to form in the warm areas of Florida and Carolinas where they're they're in the air, you know, and mold again is insidious.
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:36.080
I mean, our our our body is not not conditioned nor ready to um take in a bunch of mold spores and not for our body to repair itself.
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:44.480
So uh the ingredients in the cardiomerical and the attack of the body with this the mold spores, what are your thoughts about that?
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:49.200
So I I get I think the the mold uh spores are a major issue.
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.080
Uh we see it even when we're in old buildings as well.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:13:00.960
And you're absolutely right, you know, Lisa, that it's it's it's in there uh and we need to be able to defend and to support our immune systems in that regard.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:08.879
So Carter Miracle has uh a number of wonderful ingredients in there that are uh extremely helpful.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:16.879
Um, I think about the taurine, uh uh the ribose as well in there and the carnitine to to really again support our systems.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:18.320
This is what's really interesting.
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.279
So you're bringing up the storms and so forth.
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:27.519
And I'll just say, you know, oftentimes in the air when there are storms, you know, there can be uh sulfur dioxide.
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:37.840
There were some studies looking at that and other other components, and you know, especially when the the the uh dust kicks up and what have you, and that those can be neurotoxic, for instance.
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:51.200
And so uh so cardiomerical uh can really help buffer the uh negative side effects of those toxins either in the air or in the water or or what we're eating uh or dealing with.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:59.840
So, again, this is impressive to be a pretty simple food that's super basic, it tastes great, and you, you know, it's quick.
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:10.480
It's a it's a wonderful neuroprotective in the sense that it's supporting our uh our immune systems, we're getting the appropriate nutrients that we need to function uh completely.
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:16.480
Uh and so it does that, and then our immune systems and our bodies do their thing to help protect us.
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.559
That's beautifully put.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:30.320
You know, the other thing is when you talked about circulation and you know, sitting on an airplane, they would always, you know, we would tell our patients, right, move your legs back and forth and and be a little bit active if you can on an airplane.
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:38.720
Well, you know, many times if a person is under stress, it starts to your hands are cold, your feet are cold, your nose is cold.
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:44.480
And it's because the body has a uh a sympathetic and a parasympathetic system, right?
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.759
That it starts to pull the blood to where it's needed the most.
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:48.960
That's exactly right.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.440
Right?
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:58.559
And I was gonna say, so that's your your hypothalamus uh regulates your autonomic system, your your you know, parasympathetics, as you mentioned, and and sympathetic systems.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.799
And so part of that though is stress.
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:12.000
When you encounter stress, your your system, your brain says, Hey, look, we need to conserve the blood, we need to have it to go to certain parts and not others, so your hands get cold and so forth.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:28.799
Um, and so this is it's important to be able to combat that with uh a food that helps to make sure the blood gets to where it needs, and so that your systems are all online and at attention and ready to go as you're marching into the winter months.
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.799
Well, the life is in the blood too, you know, we got to keep that blood flowing.
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:41.759
And so I marvel at this product, you know, with over 700 ingredients, over 53 nutrient or 700 nutrients, 50 over 53 ingredients.
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:47.279
Um, actually, they added the three new ones now, which is super exciting as a brain surgeon.
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:55.279
Um, I'm sure that the idea of you know, some of the new ingredients that are in the product are very beneficial.
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.480
You look at, you know, specifically the products for the brain, right?
00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.120
That's right.
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.000
I mean, I I love the the NAC, the NAC, um I think is great.
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.360
The lion's mane is also really wonderful.
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:22.159
Um, and and I I can tell you that uh when I think about those two in particular, you think about how uh the NAC supports again your uh mitochondria and supports a whole host of of uh metabolic reactions in our body.
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.159
And then that lion's mane for the brain is is also just wonderful.
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:31.039
So I'm I'm really impressed and I love it and I feel great.
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:48.720
So I'm glad that uh that that John was um was kind enough, or I should say brilliant enough, to say how can he help people around the country and around the world uh be able to better combat uh these stressors, the infections, the internal stressors and the external stressors.
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:55.759
And he says, hey, this within this fast food, within this organic food, this is the way to go about it.
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.440
Yeah, oh my goodness.
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.320
And you know what?
00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:59.279
We it's fun.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:18.400
I know that you know, time is limited, but you talk about the future, and uh you and I are excitedly embarking upon a clinical study with a number of people up in beautiful Michigan, and we've had so much fun, and you've been so instrumental in uh putting this together and helping people really understand.
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.119
You know, wasn't that fun when you saw these people?
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:34.640
I mean, truly, you and I were in a in a in an industrial setting, and there's individuals there that probably, you know, I looked around and they probably don't even know what it's feel it feels like to feel good, right?
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.920
Well, that's exactly right.
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:44.559
When you have people that are in foundries, right, they're they're inhaling a lot of different substances, they need that vitamin C, they need that that immune support, right?
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.799
And so so that's this is super exciting.
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:50.640
Also, I really like these case studies, right?
00:17:50.799 --> 00:18:04.640
Because now it's it's not just hey, I feel good, even though I do, but look at my blood work, look at the the data uh that shows that uh that that cardio miracle really helps uh the and support the immune system and the other systems.
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.160
So this is a great example.
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:07.599
I'm super excited about it.
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:13.279
I remember talking to one of the one of the gentlemen there, and he says he he intermittent fasts.
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:24.000
I said, Great, cardio miracle is wonderful on a fast or intermittent fast because it doesn't affect the you know the the blood sugars and uh and it's it's a it gives a low glycemic index.
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.079
So we had a great conversation about that.
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:34.960
And when I fast, intermittent or otherwise, I'm on the cardio miracle, I have great taste, and it still helps me with my my fasting plan and my health overall.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.359
So I'm really excited about that too.
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:45.279
Well, when somebody like you says that with your busy schedule and as a neurosurgeon and taking care of patients, then I know you do a ton of outreach too.
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:50.960
So thank you for who you are and you know what you've done for Cardiom Miracle and the people that we've yet to meet.
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.119
And um, I thank you for this show.
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:59.440
