00:00:00.239 -->
00:00:04.400The most expensive supplement is the one that doesn't work or that doesn't work well.
00:00:05.120 -->
00:00:07.040Because then you're wasting your time.
00:00:12.080 -->
00:00:21.519If you're tired of doing all the right things and still feeling exhausted, stuck in your body, and disconnected from God, this podcast is for you.
00:00:21.679 -->
00:00:22.320I'm Dr.
00:00:22.399 -->
00:00:31.120Tabitha, triple board certified functional medicine physician, and I help women stop fighting their bodies and start healing them God's way.
00:00:31.440 -->
00:00:34.159This isn't about another diet or quick fix.
00:00:34.320 -->
00:00:42.320This is about restoring your energy, your confidence, and your faith through fasting, functional medicine, and biblical truth.
00:00:42.560 -->
00:00:46.079Welcome to Fast of Faith, where you don't just lose weight and feel great.
00:00:46.159 -->
00:00:48.799You step into who God created you to be.
00:00:48.960 -->
00:00:50.640So let's get into it.
00:00:55.679 -->
00:00:58.640Welcome back to the Fast of Faith podcast.
00:00:58.960 -->
00:00:59.920Oh my goodness.
00:01:00.079 -->
00:01:00.719Good morning.
00:01:00.960 -->
00:01:01.600Good morning.
00:01:01.759 -->
00:01:02.799It's an early morning.
00:01:02.880 -->
00:01:05.280We don't usually do this 8 a.m.
00:01:05.519 -->
00:01:06.159kind of stuff.
00:01:06.400 -->
00:01:07.280No, we do not.
00:01:07.519 -->
00:01:12.640Which is, you know, why why you own your own business so you can have your own schedule, right?
00:01:12.879 -->
00:01:13.519Time freedom.
00:01:13.680 -->
00:01:19.760I was just telling someone yesterday about this that time freedom is so worth so much more than anything else.
00:01:20.079 -->
00:01:20.959Yes, exactly.
00:01:21.120 -->
00:01:26.400Like we have to stop and pick up our kids in the middle of the day or do random things.
00:01:26.480 -->
00:01:28.640And it's just really nice to have that freedom.
00:01:28.719 -->
00:01:31.519So I hope all of you are striving toward that.
00:01:31.760 -->
00:01:34.959But this morning, you need to hear this conversation.
00:01:35.120 -->
00:01:37.040This has been a long time coming.
00:01:37.280 -->
00:01:40.239I get this day after day after day.
00:01:40.480 -->
00:01:42.239Questions about supplements.
00:01:42.560 -->
00:01:52.640Yeah, women are just feeling like they're taking all the things and they're doing all the things and they're still struggling with their hormones, with their gut health, and they're like, why isn't this working?
00:01:52.959 -->
00:01:53.280Yeah.
00:01:53.439 -->
00:01:55.760So, yay! Welcome to Emily.
00:01:55.840 -->
00:01:57.760She's gonna answer all of this for us.
00:01:58.000 -->
00:01:58.319Hi.
00:01:58.640 -->
00:01:59.599Thank you for having me.
00:01:59.840 -->
00:02:01.359I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:01.599 -->
00:02:02.480Oh my goodness.
00:02:02.640 -->
00:02:05.920I just want to share with the listeners how I met you.
00:02:06.480 -->
00:02:09.599I can't even think it was probably five years ago at this point.
00:02:09.680 -->
00:02:12.879It was pre-COVID or maybe six years ago.
00:02:13.039 -->
00:02:14.800It's all kind of a blur.
00:02:15.280 -->
00:02:28.159Um, yeah, so I was working at a wellness center and you were the supplement rep, and you came in and you gave me some um inflammicore from orthomolecular to try.
00:02:28.319 -->
00:02:30.560And I was like, oh, this tastes yummy.
00:02:30.639 -->
00:02:31.919Let me put this in the hot water.
00:02:32.000 -->
00:02:34.080It was like a little vanilla chai latte.
00:02:34.639 -->
00:02:37.599And then I started taking it every day.
00:02:37.840 -->
00:02:42.400And I I'm sorry if this is too much, but I started pooping every day.
00:02:42.639 -->
00:02:44.240I didn't know that was a thing.
00:02:44.400 -->
00:02:46.319And here I was a physician.
00:02:47.360 -->
00:02:51.039So it really sent me on this trajectory.
00:02:51.120 -->
00:02:54.000And mind you, I had already been healing myself.
00:02:54.159 -->
00:02:55.280I healed my gut.
00:02:55.360 -->
00:03:05.039I was certified in functional medicine, but I was still only having bowel movements once or twice a week because I hadn't figured that piece out.
00:03:05.599 -->
00:03:11.199And you just opened my world to this idea that supplements really can heal, right?
00:03:11.520 -->
00:03:12.800Absolutely, yes.
00:03:13.039 -->
00:03:13.919Oh my goodness.
00:03:14.159 -->
00:03:16.159So, yeah, we need to talk about all this.
00:03:16.319 -->
00:03:16.560Okay.
00:03:16.639 -->
00:03:16.879Okay.
00:03:17.039 -->
00:03:37.360So here's the deal tell my ladies who you work for, who you are, and why it matters that um we're gonna have this whole conversation about supplements and quality and efficacy and all the big words that we usually gloss over, but we're gonna help women understand today.
00:03:37.599 -->
00:03:38.319Okay, awesome.
00:03:38.560 -->
00:03:40.080Well, thank you again for having me.
00:03:40.159 -->
00:03:41.840I'm so excited to be here.
00:03:42.080 -->
00:03:53.039Um, so you know, I a lot of times uh women who find themselves kind of searching for functional medicine providers, it's usually because they've had their own sort of health crisis.
00:03:53.280 -->
00:03:55.759And I'm no different in that situation.
00:03:55.919 -->
00:04:00.400I got into this industry 13 years ago because of my own personal health crisis.
00:04:00.560 -->
00:04:07.439That for me, you know, functional medicine, getting to the root cause of what was going on, I mean, it completely just changed in my life.
00:04:07.599 -->
00:04:09.039And I was just like everyone else.
00:04:09.199 -->
00:04:12.000I was eating processed food, I was just kind of going through life.
00:04:12.080 -->
00:04:16.399I was high stress, high anxiety, all the things that we do as women.
00:04:16.720 -->
00:04:21.360And it's just, but then when you have a health crisis, it just sort of stops you in your tracks.
00:04:21.439 -->
00:04:24.639And you're like, wait a second, like this is not working anymore.
00:04:24.800 -->
00:04:26.560Something has to change.
00:04:26.879 -->
00:04:38.560And I was able to discover so quickly the significance and the importance of having not only just the supplements, which of course we'll talk about that today, but also the lifestyle changes.
00:04:38.720 -->
00:04:40.639I mean, I'm now a certified yoga teacher.
00:04:40.720 -->
00:04:43.360So I really got into the breath work and the yoga.
00:04:43.439 -->
00:04:50.800Um, I'm a certified health coach and a brain coach and all of these things because I'm just like, this is the way to live life.
00:04:50.959 -->
00:04:55.279Like this path I was going on, that's not gonna get me in a good place.
00:04:55.439 -->
00:05:01.920And then when I started to sort of incrementally make these changes, that's when everything shifted.
00:05:02.160 -->
00:05:12.160The brain fog lifted, the gut things healed, the all of the things, the anxiety, the bouts of depression I would get from time to time, those things just were not there.
00:05:12.480 -->
00:05:19.199Um, and so finding this uh position I have now at orthomolecular, which again, I've been here for 13 years.
00:05:19.360 -->
00:05:37.920Um, I it is just the biggest blessing for me to be able to serve the community in this way, where I'm able to educate people on the differences between supplements because there is, as we'll talk about today, oh my goodness, I mean, there is just such a vast, it's kind of like the Wild West out there.
00:05:38.480 -->
00:05:42.480And so it's hard to know like what are you taking?
00:05:42.639 -->
00:05:43.680Is that quality?
00:05:43.839 -->
00:05:45.519Is it going to do something?
00:05:45.759 -->
00:05:47.839Um, you know, what's really in this?
00:05:48.000 -->
00:05:49.680What can I expect from it?
00:05:49.920 -->
00:06:04.560And, you know, being able to see behind the curtain, working for a supplement manufacturer, I do see all of those ins and outs of what goes into a good quality product, which, as you said, I mean, man, can just really heal the body if it's done right.
00:06:04.879 -->
00:06:06.480It's an absolute game changer.
00:06:06.639 -->
00:06:12.480And what we see is women come to us on 10 to 15 supplements.
00:06:12.639 -->
00:06:22.000They they mean well, they think they're helping themselves, but they're usually from Costco or Amazon or an Instagram ad.
00:06:22.399 -->
00:06:23.040An Instagram ad.
00:06:23.439 -->
00:06:27.040TikTok ad, which yeah, that's a great start.
00:06:27.199 -->
00:06:37.439Like you're understanding the need to replace deficiencies and support your body's mechanisms and all these things, but quality and dosing matters.
00:06:37.519 -->
00:06:38.959I want to talk about all of that.
00:06:39.120 -->
00:06:53.439Like, I want to really get into it because this has been such a passion for me because women they say to us, oh my gosh, now that I've switched to your supplements, I actually am having energy.
00:06:53.600 -->
00:07:02.160I am sleeping, I am pooping, I am doing all of the things, and they think we're magical, but it's just yeah, it matters, right?
00:07:02.399 -->
00:07:03.920It very much matters.
00:07:04.240 -->
00:07:10.879There is a um a report that came out recently indicating that, and I've seen reports like this before in my time.
00:07:10.959 -->
00:07:20.000You probably have too, but this is a very recent one, and this is very important because it was over 50% of berberine supplements.
00:07:20.079 -->
00:07:22.319So berberine is something that's utilized oftentimes.
00:07:22.480 -->
00:07:25.759You probably have heard of it, because actually a lot of influencers are talking about it right now.
00:07:25.839 -->
00:07:28.160So for blood sugar and weight loss and things like that.
00:07:28.319 -->
00:07:34.560Um, 50% of the berberine supplements on Amazon did not meet label claim.
00:07:35.120 -->
00:07:36.800So it is so important.
00:07:37.439 -->
00:07:46.240It's so if you really get nothing else out of what I say today, just please don't buy your supplements on Amazon because that is the wild west.
00:07:46.399 -->
00:07:51.680Anyone could you could make a supplement right now in your basement and put it on Amazon.
00:07:52.000 -->
00:08:01.439So oftentimes what we find there um is that they they're just it's uh they're usually tampered with um expired products.
00:08:01.600 -->
00:08:03.199It's just a nightmare.
00:08:03.360 -->
00:08:09.759And so that's not a place to be purchasing supplements, even though you might get paid ads that say, hey, buyer, you know, whatever.
00:08:10.000 -->
00:08:15.040Um it's so important to make sure that you work with a quality source such as yourself.
00:08:15.439 -->
00:08:16.399It's scary out there.
00:08:16.560 -->
00:08:27.920I actually Googled this a little bit and I found out that you can buy empty little capsules and empty bottles, and like you can literally just make a supplement.
00:08:28.560 -->
00:08:29.839It's very scary.
00:08:30.240 -->
00:08:30.959It is scary.
00:08:31.199 -->
00:08:31.600Yeah.
00:08:31.839 -->
00:08:41.120So, Emily, I want to start with this question for you because we get this a lot, and Tabitha says this a lot that we sell um physician grade supplements.
00:08:41.360 -->
00:08:44.399So this it gets thrown around by a lot of people.
00:08:44.559 -->
00:08:46.639So, what does physician grade mean?
00:08:46.879 -->
00:08:50.960And what makes our supplements special because they are physician grade.
00:08:51.120 -->
00:08:51.679Yeah, yeah.
00:08:51.919 -->
00:08:54.320So the the first the first thing is really it's in the name.
00:08:54.480 -->
00:09:01.279So physician grade means that we as a company only distribute our supplements to licensed healthcare providers.
00:09:01.360 -->
00:09:03.600So you have to have a medical license.
00:09:03.840 -->
00:09:17.279And the reason that we just that's the way that we've always done things is because we truly feel, you know, your your doctor, your health coach, your dietitian, your nurse practitioner, that's what they all went to school for.
00:09:17.519 -->
00:09:20.159They really know how to heal your body.
00:09:20.240 -->
00:09:31.200And we feel that that's really the the probably the safest place for supplements to be distributed is to someone who is looking at markers, doing labs, whatever it is, that's what they went to school for.
00:09:31.360 -->
00:09:34.080And that's just the way that we that we work.
00:09:34.240 -->
00:09:39.679So physician grade means you can only find these supplements through a licensed healthcare provider.
00:09:39.840 -->
00:09:43.440Now, but beyond that, why do physicians trust us?
00:09:43.679 -->
00:09:46.639Because physicians aren't going to be very trusting of a lot of things.
00:09:46.799 -->
00:09:52.720In fact, I really think that the mindset is actually to be more skeptical first, like, hmm, yes, what is that?
00:09:52.799 -->
00:09:56.639Um, are you, you know, and and so we of course appreciate that and know that.
00:09:56.879 -->
00:10:07.840And um, but being in business and working with physicians for 37 years, you know, the reasons why they work with us is because what makes the physician grade supplement different is is the quality.
00:10:08.240 -->
00:10:18.720I mean, like you said, you really could just probably find some things, some stinging nettles leaf if you grow that in your backyard and put that into a capsule and try to sell that for allergies.
00:10:18.799 -->
00:10:21.039I mean, it probably can be done.
00:10:21.279 -->
00:10:30.080But when you are, but it was compared to a physician grade company as orthomolecular is, is we are held to different standards.
00:10:30.240 -->
00:10:36.559So we are third-party tested, we are USP certified, um, we are NSF certified.
00:10:36.799 -->
00:10:42.639And also, this may shock a lot of you, but we are actually also FDA certified.
00:10:42.799 -->
00:10:44.320Now, here is what that means.
00:10:44.480 -->
00:10:46.000I want to be clear on that.
00:10:46.399 -->
00:10:48.720What that means is that we're held to standards.
00:10:48.799 -->
00:10:51.600They're called good manufacturing practices or GMPs.
00:10:51.759 -->
00:10:53.279So, not to put all you to sleep here.
00:10:53.360 -->
00:11:09.120I'm just letting you know this is kind of like what so what that means is that the FDA, they do have a table and they sit around it and they say, all right, these are the standards that we're gonna hold certain quality physician grade manufacturers to for supplements.
00:11:09.279 -->
00:11:14.720And then they come through our facility twice a year and just kind of check a box and make sure that we're doing those things.
00:11:14.879 -->
00:11:21.840So we do have regulation in terms of the manufacturing, which a lot of people, you know, in some cases, you don't have to do that.
00:11:21.919 -->
00:11:23.840You could just go put something on Amazon.
00:11:24.799 -->
00:11:29.679But when you're dealing with more of the physician grade, we are held to a much, much different standard.
00:11:29.919 -->
00:11:33.039But even without that, we hold ourselves to that standard.
00:11:33.360 -->
00:11:34.000I mean, we do.
00:11:34.159 -->
00:11:37.039We manufacture everything in Wisconsin.
00:11:37.120 -->
00:11:38.879We're a Midwest born company.
00:11:39.039 -->
00:11:41.759I've been to the through the facility many times.
00:11:42.000 -->
00:11:49.919And I mean, we we have the certifications because that's that's just what you do, but we're like, we don't need those because we're already doing things the right way.
00:11:50.080 -->
00:12:02.799We have our own SOPs, which are standard operating procedures and things that we just, I mean, they're non-negotiables, and any physician at any time can walk through our facility and come join us and visit us.
00:12:03.039 -->
00:12:05.360It's we're an open book and very transparent.
00:12:05.519 -->
00:12:07.279This is an example here, too.
00:12:07.440 -->
00:12:12.080Um, it's a certificate of analysis, and so we have this on every single product.
00:12:12.399 -->
00:12:21.919So, to the point of what is in it, what's not in it, meaning fillers and heavy metals and toxins and things, all of that is right here.
00:12:22.080 -->
00:12:29.039So I can present this to a clinician within two minutes on every single product and on every single batch.
00:12:29.200 -->
00:12:34.480So you know that what we're what we say is in the bottle, it's right here.
00:12:34.720 -->
00:12:40.960Yeah, that is literally why I decided to private label orthomolecular.
00:12:41.200 -->
00:12:43.919And I never talked about that publicly.
00:12:44.000 -->
00:12:58.000You know, we call it fast of faith supplements, but really I wanted women to have greater, easier access to such a high-quality product because you guys are behind a wall.
00:12:58.159 -->
00:13:01.840Like you can't even go on full script and get orthomolecular.
00:13:02.000 -->
00:13:05.440You have to have a provider give it to you.
00:13:05.679 -->
00:13:10.480So the way around that is private labeling or white labeling products.
00:13:10.720 -->
00:13:26.559So my products are orthomolecular products, and I just I feel so proud of that because I know when women spend the money on fast faith supplements, they're gonna get what they think they're getting, and that means everything to me.
00:13:26.639 -->
00:13:47.039And we've had conversations from a business standpoint of like, we could make more money if we went with a lower quality supplement manufacturer who isn't physician grade, who isn't behind the wall, who doesn't do all this third-party testing and all this extensive stuff, or doesn't have the doses in it.
00:13:47.200 -->
00:13:48.720We need to talk about that.
00:13:48.960 -->
00:13:55.279Um, but we just always come back to the fact that we want to be a business of integrity.
00:13:55.519 -->
00:14:00.559We want to actually be providing what we're saying that we're providing.
00:14:00.639 -->
00:14:06.639And so orthomolecular allows us to do that, and we're so proud of that, aren't we?
00:14:06.879 -->
00:14:07.679Yeah, we are.
00:14:07.840 -->
00:14:16.320And it it kind of brings us to the next question of so you can get a supplement at Costco for 15, but ours is more like 50 to 65.
00:14:16.799 -->
00:14:29.759And so women are constantly questioning that, or especially at the practice level, if we suggest that they take something like our Omega lift, and they're like, Oh, I'm already taking that from Costco, I get it for$10.
00:14:30.559 -->
00:14:33.279And so we're like, Well, that's not the same thing.
00:14:33.440 -->
00:14:35.120So, can you address that a little bit?
00:14:35.360 -->
00:14:36.639Yeah, that's such a tough one.
00:14:36.720 -->
00:14:41.279And I can understand the confusion, you know, because it's like, well, wait a second.
00:14:41.360 -->
00:14:44.879I mean, why is it$15 here, but you're telling me I need to give you$50?
00:14:45.039 -->
00:14:46.559Like, what's the difference?
00:14:46.799 -->
00:14:52.559I think that, you know, as women, as consumers, we all understand the significance of quality.
00:14:52.960 -->
00:14:58.000If you buy a pair of jeans, you know, for$500 or whatever, right?
00:14:58.320 -->
00:14:59.200It's it's different.
00:14:59.360 -->
00:15:00.159They feel different.
00:15:00.320 -->
00:15:01.279They are on your body.
00:15:01.519 -->
00:15:05.919The quality is just very different versus if, you know, you have like a$10 pair of jeans, whatever.
00:15:06.000 -->
00:15:08.320We've all have a pair of$10 jeans too.
00:15:08.399 -->
00:15:08.720I get it.
00:15:08.799 -->
00:15:11.360I'm just saying it, you feel that difference.
00:15:11.679 -->
00:15:20.559And especially consider when this thing that we're talking about, which is a supplement, is going into your body, you are ingesting it.
00:15:20.720 -->
00:15:24.799It is so critical to ask that question of what is the difference?
00:15:25.039 -->
00:15:29.440And why does it matter if I take something that is, you know, 50 versus 15.
00:15:29.600 -->
00:15:33.360So I can use fish oil actually as a great example.
00:15:34.639 -->
00:15:39.039So if you were to, I'd ask, let's, okay, so fish oil.
00:15:39.200 -->
00:15:42.399Let's say that you were to open up your fish oil at home.
00:15:42.480 -->
00:15:44.799For those of you who are like, I have my Costco fish oil.
00:15:44.879 -->
00:15:45.759I have my, okay.
00:15:46.320 -->
00:15:50.399I dare you to go open it up and bite into it.
00:15:50.799 -->
00:15:54.080And then call in here and tell us how it's going.
00:15:54.639 -->
00:15:58.639Um you're probably gonna be like, oh my gosh, I have to take off work today.
00:15:58.720 -->
00:15:59.600I just got sick.
00:15:59.759 -->
00:16:13.360Um, that is a very good example of fish oil, is I get, I can, this actually gets me very, because your fish oil, okay, it should not smell rancid and it should not taste rancid.
00:16:13.519 -->
00:16:15.519It should not do that, okay?
00:16:16.399 -->
00:16:18.000There are different, that's the first thing.
00:16:18.320 -->
00:16:21.120Oh, so you're not supposed to burp up fish for the rest of the day.
00:16:21.200 -->
00:16:21.600I'm talking about.
00:16:22.559 -->
00:16:26.559I just think about like when I was a kid and my dad would always say, Well, it tastes like fish all day.
00:16:26.639 -->
00:16:29.519And I'm it's like, now I know, like that's just not okay.
00:16:29.759 -->
00:16:37.840Well, and actually, I was dared once by one of my colleagues to bite into, I won't name the name, uh just a kind of, I don't know, like grocery store fish oil.
00:16:37.919 -->
00:16:39.440And I was like, fine, I'll do it.
00:16:39.840 -->
00:16:41.440I am not kidding.
00:16:41.679 -->
00:16:43.519It was like not fish, everyone.
00:16:43.679 -->
00:16:44.879It was fish guts.
00:16:44.960 -->
00:16:50.559It was like taking the like the whole fish and just grinding up in a blender and saying, here you go, have fun.
00:16:50.720 -->
00:16:53.679Um, okay, so so that's the first thing.
00:16:53.840 -->
00:16:57.039The, the, the, your fish oil, there's differences right there.
00:16:57.200 -->
00:16:58.159Now, why is that?
00:16:58.399 -->
00:17:01.039Well, how many fish are in the ocean?
00:17:01.360 -->
00:17:03.679Some fish are really big, some are lake fish.
00:17:03.759 -->
00:17:06.640They're they're just known to have heavier amounts of toxins.
00:17:06.799 -->
00:17:14.160And other fish, like little baby ones, like sardines, anchovies, mackerels, they just do not contain the same level of toxins.
00:17:14.319 -->
00:17:25.599Further, if you get them at a specific body of water, no, as in our example, our little, and we do use little little guys, little sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, they we get them off of the coast of Peru.
00:17:25.680 -->
00:17:28.240There's a body of water very clean, very pure.
00:17:28.400 -->
00:17:34.640So the starting point of the fish, imagine this big old dirty cod out of Lake Michigan, since we're like feet from Lake Michigan.
00:17:34.880 -->
00:17:35.119Okay.
00:17:35.680 -->
00:17:38.400Plop that down, blend it up, you know, like that.
00:17:38.480 -->
00:17:44.480But that is oftentimes what you could be getting is that starting raw material is just kind of nasty, okay?
00:17:44.720 -->
00:17:47.039Versus a pure oil to start.
00:17:47.200 -->
00:17:50.960That's the foundation of where are you beginning that process.
00:17:51.359 -->
00:17:56.240And then as you move forward, and I won't get into this because I don't want to put you to sleep, especially if you're driving.
00:17:56.319 -->
00:17:56.880I don't want you to.
00:17:57.599 -->
00:18:06.319Um, there are 10 steps minimum to create the actual oil from the fish to what you see in your bottle.
00:18:06.799 -->
00:18:11.759That is, those are very intricate, those are very detailed, those are very scientific.
00:18:11.920 -->
00:18:21.440Um, and so if those steps, if there's a step missing, if they're not done properly, um, you're just going to have a product that is just not going to work as effective as effectively.
00:18:21.519 -->
00:18:25.200And there's in this case with fish oil too, there's different forms of fish oil.
00:18:25.359 -->
00:18:31.920Well, one form happens to be 70% more absorbable than the other form.
00:18:32.160 -->
00:18:34.799Okay, so reosterified triglyceride ethylester.
00:18:35.039 -->
00:18:36.000You don't need to know that.
00:18:36.160 -->
00:18:46.400Just know that it's possible that a lot of non-professional grade fish oils, they're not in that reasterified triglyceride form, that form that your cells say, come on in.
00:18:46.799 -->
00:18:55.039So if you want to take a supplement, this is this phrase the most expensive supplement is the one that doesn't work or that doesn't work well.
00:18:55.759 -->
00:18:57.200Because then you're wasting your time.
00:18:57.359 -->
00:18:57.519Yeah.
00:18:57.759 -->
00:19:08.000So yes, I do appreciate we're gonna be asking you to give a little bit more of your, a little bit more of, you know, maybe just um funds in order to, okay.
00:19:08.160 -->
00:19:10.799However, you're going to get a better result.
00:19:10.960 -->
00:19:18.000Now, the last thing I'll say about this too, because I'm just gonna keep using the fish oil, how many capsules are you having to take of your Costco fish oil?
00:19:18.240 -->
00:19:24.319Now, that is also why the physician grade is better, because you probably are saying, well, I don't know.
00:19:24.720 -->
00:19:26.559I don't know how many I'm supposed to take.
00:19:26.720 -->
00:19:27.359That's right.
00:19:27.599 -->
00:19:48.160If you work with a medical clinician, though, they'll tell you, based either off of your labs or just different things with your lifestyle, you probably need to take three to four grams, which by the way, three to four grams is a good average for fish whale, sometimes two to three, but mostly if you are a human being and you probably have inflammation and a lot of things going on, three to four.
00:19:48.400 -->
00:19:50.880Now go look at your Costco fish whale.
00:19:51.119 -->
00:19:59.759You probably have to take like 15 capsules in order to get to the therapeutic amount, versus our professional grade uh fish whale, uh, two to three.
00:20:00.960 -->
00:20:02.160Of the capsules.
00:20:02.400 -->
00:20:18.319So, you know, effectively what ends up happening with a therapeutically dosed product is you, if you just look at the one price tag when you see at the like, okay,$50 and whatever cents, that's actually with supplements.
00:20:18.480 -->
00:20:20.000You gotta look at it a different way.
00:20:20.160 -->
00:20:28.319You have to really look at it more as price per capsule because you, yes, maybe your fish oil from Fast of Faith is gonna be however much.
00:20:28.640 -->
00:20:31.599However, you might only have to take a couple capsules.
00:20:31.680 -->
00:20:33.599It'll last you a long time.
00:20:34.000 -->
00:20:36.319And your Costco, you're gonna be done in two weeks.
00:20:36.640 -->
00:20:41.279Well, I think women make the mistake of thinking everything is always just one capsule.
00:20:41.440 -->
00:20:42.319I hear that a lot.
00:20:42.480 -->
00:20:44.559Like I'm taking one of this and one of that.
00:20:44.720 -->
00:20:47.599They they're not even realizing that's not even the dose.
00:20:47.680 -->
00:20:49.359That isn't like spitting in the wind.
00:20:49.440 -->
00:20:50.960You're not gonna get anywhere.
00:20:51.119 -->
00:21:07.359And so hopefully everybody's like switching to omega lift today because I think it's really important for you to realize like what you're putting in your body actually matters and the dosing and the quality as you're saying.
00:21:07.680 -->
00:21:15.920But let's also talk about um the dosing of other things like magnesium, for example.
00:21:16.240 -->
00:21:25.839We have a magnesium blend with bisglycinate, and women are constantly asking me, Well, how is that different than the mag oxide I take from CVS?
00:21:26.000 -->
00:21:28.400So can you speak to that type of thing?
00:21:28.720 -->
00:21:30.160Like the forms.
00:21:30.640 -->
00:21:31.279Yeah.
00:21:31.920 -->
00:21:35.519Um magnesium, especially, is one of those things, as Dr.
00:21:35.680 -->
00:21:45.519Barber was just mentioning, the vast majority of the population, like if you're listening and you're not taking a good quality magnesium, you are very likely probably deficient.
00:21:45.759 -->
00:21:53.839And the reason is because magnesium is responsible for hundreds of enzymatic processes in your body.
00:21:53.920 -->
00:21:55.519Like we're just kind of hanging out here.
00:21:55.759 -->
00:22:02.880But while we're doing that, there are billions and billions of just processes that are happening inside of our body to allow us to just be sitting here.
00:22:03.119 -->
00:22:09.440And magnesium is one of those critical minerals that is allowing those processes to happen.
00:22:09.599 -->
00:22:21.279Now, if you are stressed out, if you drink a lot of caffeine, maybe some alcohol, all those things, have some gut issues, okay, you're it's just gonna be really difficult to have enough magnesium.
00:22:21.519 -->
00:22:26.559It'll further be difficult, and why not we're gonna talk about digestion probably at some point too, because that's critical.
00:22:26.799 -->
00:22:40.079It's also really hard for your body to even absorb magnesium from your food, which is why the supplement exists, why we exist as an industry, why we've been around and we continue to always be around.
00:22:40.559 -->
00:22:45.200Because we you need to have to supplement your diet in order to really be fully healthy.
00:22:45.279 -->
00:22:49.759Now, with magnesium, um, there are many different forms of magnesium.
00:22:52.000 -->
00:22:59.680In the body, there are two ways, an active and a passive way, that you can just absorb, basically.
00:23:00.079 -->
00:23:04.640And as the names probably imply to you, the active is going to be the better one.
00:23:04.960 -->
00:23:16.400So when it's passive, all that means is that certain forms of magnesium, they just require your your your your body and your stomach in particular to be in a certain pH.
00:23:17.279 -->
00:23:22.559And all that means is, and I'm sure we'll talk about at some point too, is a lot of times women have lower stomach acid.
00:23:22.640 -->
00:23:25.839Like the pH, your your pH is always changing.
00:23:26.000 -->
00:23:32.960So it's sort of as like this magic miracle has to be in place in order for the magnesium to be able to actually even absorb.
00:23:33.200 -->
00:23:45.039What oftentimes happens is that it the magnesiums in what we call like the rock salt forms, they just naturally shoot down that passive pathway, which means it's just not gonna absorb very well.
00:23:45.359 -->
00:23:52.720You might get a little bit of loose stool, and you're not going to get the therapeutic amount within your cells that you need for actual change.
00:23:53.200 -->
00:23:56.559Um, now the active is a totally different pathway.
00:23:56.720 -->
00:24:05.759And when you have that magnesium that's bound to what's called an amino acid, which we do with maglift, that now goes down the active pathway.
00:24:05.920 -->
00:24:07.279That is going to absorb.
00:24:07.440 -->
00:24:09.599That doesn't care what your pH is.
00:24:09.759 -->
00:24:11.680You can have any pH in the world, go ahead.
00:24:11.759 -->
00:24:20.559And it doesn't care because of the way that it is with that amino acid sort of attachment there, it now will be able to absorb in into your cells.
00:24:20.640 -->
00:24:29.519And there are head-to-head studies, which we haven't got into this much yet, but this is a critical uh differentiator between a professional grade is we have studies.
00:24:29.920 -->
00:24:30.319Yes.
00:24:30.799 -->
00:24:49.200Studies show that different forms of magnesium, like the chelated minerals, and all minerals actually, if they're chelated to an amino acid, studies show that they are more bioavailable and absorbable and have higher efficacy, which means they work, um, is superior as compared to these other salt forms.
00:24:49.359 -->
00:24:51.599So again, the most expensive supplement.
00:24:51.920 -->
00:25:00.079So you know what one of the reasons actually why sometimes people will take those kind of lesser forms of magnesium is because they have constipation.
00:25:00.240 -->
00:25:00.319Right.
00:25:00.640 -->
00:25:01.119Do you see?
00:25:01.519 -->
00:25:07.519So you will have loose stool, but the goal isn't to absorb, you're actually not absorbing it.
00:25:07.599 -->
00:25:09.599And that's why you have loose stool.
00:25:09.759 -->
00:25:16.480So if you want to increase your magnesium to a therapeutic level, you gotta do a different form.
00:25:16.799 -->
00:25:17.039Right.
00:25:17.200 -->
00:25:21.440So if you're trying to move your bowels, go for the citrate, go for the oxide.
00:25:21.680 -->
00:25:32.720But if you're actually trying to get it into your cells to help your restless legs and your brain and your heart and all of those things, you need something like magliff with the glycinate in it.
00:25:32.960 -->
00:25:33.599So important.
00:25:34.160 -->
00:25:34.480So important.
00:25:34.720 -->
00:25:46.079But I'm glad that you brought up the stomach acid issue because that is one of the biggest issues that we see as women come to us on PPIs, those proton pump inhibitors.
00:25:46.160 -->
00:25:48.480We just had somebody last week.
00:25:48.640 -->
00:25:51.039She's been on it for 20 years.
00:25:51.279 -->
00:25:53.200First of all, that's malpractice.
00:25:53.279 -->
00:25:57.279Like that just screams not okay with me.
00:25:57.519 -->
00:26:07.839Um, but second of all, you can't even have any stomach acid production because it's preventing the stomach acid production and stress lowers our stomach acid production.
00:26:07.920 -->
00:26:16.000So so many of us are walking around with a pH of four or five or six when it should be one and a half to two.
00:26:16.559 -->
00:26:23.519And yeah, we're spending all this money and then we're not even even absorbing our supplements or our food.
00:26:23.759 -->
00:26:26.079And like it's all connected.
00:26:26.240 -->
00:26:32.319So I'm thank you for helping women understand like how all this works together and how important it is.
00:26:32.480 -->
00:26:34.799Do you have anything you want to say about that?
00:26:35.119 -->
00:26:37.920Yeah, I was just thinking there's so much going through my mind.
00:26:38.000 -->
00:26:45.839I'm just thinking about all the people who um that we have helped um come off of those um with some of our supplements.
00:26:46.000 -->
00:26:49.440Um, digestive lift, but I was also actually just thinking about myself.
00:26:49.599 -->
00:26:51.440I I get an eye twitch.
00:26:51.519 -->
00:26:55.680Um sometimes it is from stress, sometimes it's from a lack of magnesium.
00:26:56.000 -->
00:26:58.960You got it like the first time we did the studio recording, didn't you?
00:26:59.119 -->
00:27:00.160Yeah, you're like, I did it.
00:27:01.519 -->
00:27:02.000Yeah.
00:27:02.240 -->
00:27:16.400Um, and I I had one yesterday, like late at night, and I was like, okay, I'm gonna go to bed early and I'm gonna take I take three magnesium when I have that, my our mag lift, and I did that and I woke up today and I feel fine again, like I'm back to it.
00:27:16.480 -->
00:27:19.359And I just know I'm kind of a magnesium burner a little bit.
00:27:19.519 -->
00:27:23.359And I also am someone when I take our mag lift, I'm out like a light.
00:27:23.519 -->
00:27:24.799Like it is instant for me.
00:27:24.880 -->
00:27:26.000It just like calms me down.
00:27:26.079 -->
00:27:29.279I can never take it in the morning time, like I would be screwed.
00:27:29.440 -->
00:27:37.039Um, but yeah, I it is amazing because I before I came to work with you, I took so many random supplements.
00:27:37.119 -->
00:27:40.720And I just think about all the money that I wasted because they never did anything.
00:27:40.960 -->
00:27:43.599So um that's what we see a lot.
00:27:43.839 -->
00:27:44.079Yeah.
00:27:44.240 -->
00:27:48.160So I think people are probably listening to this and they're like, okay, tell us what to take.
00:27:48.319 -->
00:27:56.160So we can't exactly tell you what to take, um, but we can tell you what our top products are at Fast of Faith and what we recommend.
00:27:56.400 -->
00:28:01.359Yeah, I mean, here's the thing: I'm a physician, I'm not your physician.
00:28:01.519 -->
00:28:02.160Maybe I am.
00:28:02.240 -->
00:28:04.799Maybe you work with me at the practice level.
00:28:04.960 -->
00:28:07.279Uh, we would love to support you in that.
00:28:07.440 -->
00:28:12.960But there are some foundational things that these supplements can help you with.
00:28:13.200 -->
00:28:25.839And when I started taking our gut lift protein powder and my bowels just started to regulate and my eczema started to heal because it was like sealing up my leaky gut and just started shifting everything.
00:28:26.000 -->
00:28:34.000I realized, like, okay, there are some supplements that you need to take for the healing process for a shorter time.
00:28:34.160 -->
00:28:39.279There are some that are foundational that we probably need all the time, like maglift.
00:28:39.680 -->
00:28:43.839And like, how do we figure that piece out?
00:28:44.000 -->
00:28:46.160So, can you help us parse that out?
00:28:46.240 -->
00:28:54.160Of like, what does the research say is the most common deficiencies that we need to be supporting on a regular basis?
00:28:54.319 -->
00:29:07.200And then hit on B vitamins, because I think a lot of women don't understand that they're maybe taking the synthetic form as opposed to activated forms, and that can make a big difference.
00:29:07.440 -->
00:29:07.680Yeah.
00:29:07.759 -->
00:29:11.440Oh, that makes such a huge difference for people, and it can be really devastating.
00:29:11.599 -->
00:29:27.359I mean, if you're taking supplements unknowingly and they're in forms that aren't going to be like like you just mentioned activated form of B vitamins as an example, or maybe a poor form of magnesium, it can really kind of be devastating, especially if you're taking it for years and you're like, this isn't doing anything.
00:29:27.519 -->
00:29:32.240Um, and so it's no wonder that there's skepticism in the industry about, you know, about supplements.
00:29:32.400 -->
00:29:36.160Um, okay, so for sure, primary deficiencies, vitamin D.
00:29:36.240 -->
00:29:38.000I mean, especially in the winter months.
00:29:38.880 -->
00:29:43.279However, if you're listening and you're in sunny California, you're inside all day.
00:29:43.519 -->
00:29:46.160You are inside all day and you're probably wearing sunscreen.
00:29:46.319 -->
00:29:48.960That will prevent the conversion, okay, so of D3.
00:29:49.200 -->
00:29:55.119So you need to make sure that you're taking vitamin D or at least just get your levels checked to make sure that your D levels are at a good place.
00:29:55.279 -->
00:29:57.119So vitamin D is a huge deficiency.
00:29:57.279 -->
00:29:59.839Magnesium, as you mentioned, is also pretty big.
00:30:00.079 -->
00:30:09.759Um I think just in general, like a good multivitamin that just contains a bunch of activated vitamins and minerals.
00:30:09.920 -->
00:30:24.079Um, because again, I don't want to put all of you to sleep, just understand that these important biochemical processes that are happening inside of your cells, like literally billions of times per second, they need help.
00:30:24.400 -->
00:30:27.279Like there's a reason that you are inclined to eat food every day.
00:30:27.359 -->
00:30:31.599And it isn't just because you're hungry or because, like, you know, maybe that little donut looks good or something.
00:30:31.680 -->
00:30:32.000I don't know.
00:30:32.160 -->
00:30:32.880Okay, I don't know.
00:30:33.039 -->
00:30:33.680It does look good.
00:30:33.759 -->
00:30:34.480Things look good.
00:30:34.720 -->
00:30:46.640Um, it's because your body, uh, it's like there's a tug of war with inside, and your cells, tissues, and organs, when you consume an apple or an orange or something that contains vitamin C or whatever.
00:30:46.960 -->
00:30:48.960Why do you think you're craving some of those things?
00:30:49.039 -->
00:30:53.920Or notice maybe if you can, if you crave meat, maybe you're deficient in iron or some other things.
00:30:54.160 -->
00:30:58.559Because your body is like, I need this stuff in order to function properly.
00:30:58.720 -->
00:31:00.559I need omegas, which by the way, you do.
00:31:00.720 -->
00:31:08.640Omega-6s and omega-3s, omegas are essential fatty acids, but your body can't make them when we're talking about omegas.
00:31:08.720 -->
00:31:10.400So those are things, they are essential.
00:31:10.559 -->
00:31:12.240And your body can synthesize those things.
00:31:12.319 -->
00:31:14.079So they're things you just have to be able to consume.
00:31:14.240 -->
00:31:17.920So definitely multivitamin D, vitamin K.
00:31:18.480 -->
00:31:25.599Um, I think that in terms of where we're going with the research, you now, when I say vitamin K2, you might think, what are you talking about?
00:31:25.759 -->
00:31:31.279Well, you'll probably, it'll be like how we talk about vitamin D now within the next five years, because the research is there.
00:31:31.359 -->
00:31:38.559It's just that it's not a popularly or a popular test, so to speak, in terms of testing those levels, but we will absolutely get there.
00:31:38.720 -->
00:31:39.039Yeah.
00:31:39.279 -->
00:31:40.079Um, yeah.
00:31:40.240 -->
00:31:42.720Can we talk about our D3K2 lift?
00:31:42.960 -->
00:31:45.200Because I absolutely love it.
00:31:45.519 -->
00:31:53.839When I stop taking it, because you know, we all get supplement fatigue or we forget, we put it somewhere and then we don't remember.
00:31:54.079 -->
00:31:57.279And then I start taking it again, like my depression lifts.
00:31:57.359 -->
00:32:00.400I just feel alive again and I feel so much better.
00:32:00.480 -->
00:32:02.799And I've just like a sunny summer day.
00:32:02.960 -->
00:32:03.359Yes.
00:32:03.759 -->
00:32:07.759And I did my genetics and I realized that I have a gene mutation.
00:32:07.839 -->
00:32:09.920I don't make vitamin D from the sun.
00:32:10.240 -->
00:32:14.960So it's not even about the fact that I, you know, I'm wearing sunscreen or not.
00:32:15.039 -->
00:32:20.880I just I have this mutation, so I need it, and I love that it's a liquid, it absorbs in our mouth.
00:32:21.039 -->
00:32:25.200But can you speak to why we have the K2 connected with the D3?
00:32:25.440 -->
00:32:27.759Oh my gosh, K2 is critical.
00:32:28.079 -->
00:32:31.839Um, so vitamin D first, I just want everyone to hear this.
00:32:32.000 -->
00:32:36.400There's a receptor on every cell of your body for vitamin D.
00:32:37.039 -->
00:32:38.799You don't even have to be like, what is she talking about?
00:32:38.960 -->
00:32:39.359Receptor.
00:32:39.519 -->
00:32:40.319Just understand.
00:32:40.480 -->
00:32:43.200That means that your body's like, give me the vitamin D.
00:32:43.279 -->
00:32:44.079I need it to function.
00:32:44.160 -->
00:32:45.839And it is really important for functioning.
00:32:46.400 -->
00:32:54.799But the K2 is really important in terms of preventing cardiovascular risk and bone fractures, essentially.
00:32:54.960 -->
00:32:56.720That's where the K2 comes in.
00:32:56.960 -->
00:33:06.480Because, you know, when we were talking about deficiencies, I didn't mention calcium specifically, because that isn't oftentimes where we're deficient, because we just sometimes we we can be.
00:33:07.599 -->
00:33:22.799But especially women, as you probably know, we are at a much greater risk for um bone fractures and fosteoporosis, especially once we hit menopause, our estrogen drops, and then therefore we just don't have the same things happening with our bones, and we are at risk.
00:33:22.960 -->
00:33:25.200We are, we just have to understand that reality.
00:33:25.680 -->
00:33:32.640And so, in order to prevent, and that's really what we're all about here, is you know, how do we prevent things from happening?
00:33:32.799 -->
00:33:43.599Okay, yes, you might have some things going on, we want to get to the root and fix those, but also how do you prevent yourself from getting to a point where you're devastated by your DEXA scan, you know, or cardiovascular report?
00:33:43.759 -->
00:33:50.559There are things you can do, and what we know is that vitamin K2, and it has been studied in multiple human clinical trials.
00:33:50.640 -->
00:33:53.119The largest one I've seen was with about 6,000 people.
00:33:53.200 -->
00:33:54.640That's a pretty good number.
00:33:54.880 -->
00:34:05.920I mean, you are looking at preventing cardiovascular death, um, atherosclerosis, it will help to keep your arteries nice and nice and kind of smooth and flowing versus like hardened.
00:34:06.000 -->
00:34:07.599You don't want the hardened arteries.
00:34:07.920 -->
00:34:09.519Vitamin K2 will prevent that.
00:34:09.599 -->
00:34:12.559It'll keep them nice and kind of just flowing.
00:34:13.039 -->
00:34:15.920Um, so it's it's really critical for bone health.
00:34:16.159 -->
00:34:23.440When I was mentioning calcium, in order for calcium to stay out of your arteries, you don't want it in your arteries.
00:34:23.679 -->
00:34:29.519In order for it to stay out of there and to get into your bones where you want it, you need K2.
00:34:30.159 -->
00:34:34.960Like it is literally a critical part of the little math equation that's happening inside of your body.
00:34:35.119 -->
00:34:38.880You want your calcium to protect you and get into your bones, great.
00:34:39.039 -->
00:34:40.719You gotta have K2 on board.
00:34:40.800 -->
00:34:41.519You have to.
00:34:41.760 -->
00:34:42.000Yeah.
00:34:42.239 -->
00:35:08.800Can I just apologize essentially to all of the patients that for 10 or 15 years I told them to take calcium and vitamin D because that is what the societies were telling me to do, like North American Menopause Society, American College of OBGYNs, you know, um family practice uh society, they were recommending you just need D and calcium.
00:35:09.039 -->
00:35:27.760And unfortunately, we saw a rise in calcium going into soft tissue, creating plaques in the arteries, kidney stones, in those areas, calcifications in the breast, like the calcium will go to the soft tissue without that K2.
00:35:28.000 -->
00:35:30.000So it's essential, ladies.
00:35:30.239 -->
00:35:37.679Like we don't need all the extra calcium supplementation, but we definitely need the K2 to direct it into the right place.
00:35:37.920 -->
00:35:46.079So, like it breaks my heart that we just treat people as guinea pigs, especially women, as physicians.
00:35:46.159 -->
00:35:49.360And we just do these things and we're like, oh, here's the answer.
00:35:49.519 -->
00:35:54.320And you know, so now we have to like go, okay, we were wrong.
00:35:54.480 -->
00:36:09.039Now we understand the physiology better, and that's why I'm so passionate about proper supplementation, not just grabbing whatever your local pharmacist says to get off their shelf, right?
00:36:10.000 -->
00:36:10.719Very critical.
00:36:10.880 -->
00:36:12.320Yeah, very critical.
00:36:12.800 -->
00:36:16.239So we have a collection, it's a protocol that um Dr.
00:36:16.320 -->
00:36:31.280Tabitha created, and it's called Dare to Be Balanced, and it has the maglift, it has the hormone tame, um, which is our daily multivitamin, it has the uh D uh in it, and then it also has a supplement called Biome Lift.
00:36:31.599 -->
00:36:35.280So that's something that we haven't talked about yet, is a pre and probiotic.
00:36:35.360 -->
00:36:36.800So we might want to address that.
00:36:36.960 -->
00:36:44.480But if you're like, I don't know where to start, you're gonna go to shop.fastafaith.com and you are going to get the Dare to Be Balanced protocol.
00:36:44.559 -->
00:36:45.679I think it is the best option.
00:36:45.840 -->
00:36:50.159We will have it in the show notes, and we will also have a discount code for you in the show notes.
00:36:50.239 -->
00:36:53.280It will be podcast and you will get a discount on that collection.
00:36:53.599 -->
00:36:55.280Nice, fancy.
00:36:55.519 -->
00:36:58.719We should do like a really special discount.
00:36:58.960 -->
00:36:59.840What about 20%?
00:37:00.239 -->
00:37:01.199Is that everyone?
00:37:01.280 -->
00:37:02.639I was thinking that's what it is.
00:37:02.880 -->
00:37:03.519So do it.
00:37:03.679 -->
00:37:06.400Normally it's having the chance to pull one over on me.
00:37:06.559 -->
00:37:08.559Um I got ahead of her today.
00:37:08.719 -->
00:37:11.360So just think her.
00:37:11.519 -->
00:37:12.239Oh my god.
00:37:12.480 -->
00:37:14.559Yeah, so um, make sure you check that out.
00:37:14.639 -->
00:37:18.320But let's talk about biome lift because we haven't addressed that at all yet.
00:37:18.639 -->
00:37:34.239And I I think we also should mention here too that we are going, you're gonna listen to this episode and it's gonna be ending um soon, but we're gonna go and do some little episodes where we go into each supplement that we have, our top sellers, and give you guys a little bit more information.
00:37:34.400 -->
00:37:42.079So you'll be able to find those um on YouTube if you're listening to this or on our website, uh shop.fastafate.com.
00:37:42.159 -->
00:37:43.199So I think that's important too.
00:37:43.360 -->
00:37:49.599So if you're like, I really know that I have high estrogen or I'm struggling with my progesterone, we have a supplement for you.
00:37:49.760 -->
00:37:53.199And so come and listen to those little mini sodes so you can hear about those too.
00:37:53.440 -->
00:37:59.679Yeah, we're trying not to overwhelm you, but we want you to really understand that this is important.
00:38:00.079 -->
00:38:06.239It's worth your time to understand, and it's worth your money to invest in the right thing.
00:38:06.559 -->
00:38:07.360It absolutely is.
00:38:07.440 -->
00:38:13.679And listen to this episode a couple of times because I know how you're feeling because I've been the deer in headlights so many times.
00:38:13.920 -->
00:38:21.599Um, and so it is it's just something you have to hear over and over and over and kind of witness for yourself and just see it work.
00:38:21.840 -->
00:38:24.719And that's that's what these supplements do, is they work.
00:38:24.960 -->
00:38:26.719Yeah, absolutely.
00:38:27.280 -->
00:38:35.440Okay, so let's talk about gut health really quick before we close it up because that is the foundation of everything, right?
00:38:35.840 -->
00:38:40.000We get questions like, do I need to take a probiotic all the time?
00:38:40.239 -->
00:38:41.840Do I need a fiber supplement?
00:38:42.000 -->
00:38:45.599Oh my gosh, we didn't even talk about all in one microbiome lift.
00:38:45.760 -->
00:38:47.519Um, so many good things.
00:38:48.079 -->
00:38:56.000But what would you just say overall, if someone was asking, where do I start with um gut supplements?
00:38:56.239 -->
00:38:56.800Yeah.
00:38:57.119 -->
00:39:17.440I I would say that unless you are the rare individual who is consuming sauerkraut, you know, I think kimchi, those sorts of things, uh, a kefir every day, probably multiple times a day, you don't have any stress, you never fight with your husband or your kids or anything like that.
00:39:17.519 -->
00:39:17.840Okay.
00:39:18.000 -->
00:39:19.039No stress at all.
00:39:19.199 -->
00:39:21.679Um, then maybe you don't need a daily probiotic.
00:39:21.920 -->
00:39:25.440However, um, because of the significance of the game.
00:39:25.840 -->
00:39:28.000And call us and let us know how that's going.
00:39:29.039 -->
00:39:30.079I would love to meet you.
00:39:30.400 -->
00:39:31.679We'd love to live in your bubble.
00:39:31.840 -->
00:39:32.000Yeah.
00:39:32.320 -->
00:39:40.880Um you know, most the real the reality is that most of us just we live in a life where we just we have a lot of things going on.
00:39:40.960 -->
00:39:47.679And as we were kind of mentioning, as probably some of your listeners may know too, and the research continues to evolve with the gut.
00:39:47.840 -->
00:39:50.639Well, we really do know now the significance of the gut.
00:39:50.800 -->
00:39:54.559I mean, it interplays with every system and organ in your body.
00:39:54.800 -->
00:39:57.51970% of your immune system is in the gut.
00:39:58.239 -->
00:40:11.199So if you find that you get sick, Lot that that could be, you know, a gut issue, but it's just everything depression, anxiety, probably whatever your issue is, probably in some way can come back to what's happening within your gut.
00:40:11.840 -->
00:40:14.320Now, within your gut is a vast ecosystem.
00:40:14.480 -->
00:40:22.960I think I read somewhere, and don't quote me on this, because I if you take the microbiome and like spread it out, it it's like the it'll go like the length of football fields.
00:40:23.199 -->
00:40:25.280There's so much happening inside of your gut.
00:40:25.360 -->
00:40:27.119There are tr literally trillions with a T.
00:40:27.920 -->
00:40:29.440Trillions of organisms in there.
00:40:29.840 -->
00:40:35.039And so earlier, when I mentioned the tug of war, that's really happening in your gut a lot too.
00:40:35.199 -->
00:40:35.360Yeah.
00:40:35.679 -->
00:40:40.639Because it's kind of like there's the good guys, but then there's also the bad guys that can kind of creep in too.
00:40:40.800 -->
00:40:48.639So if you find that you do have gut issues or IBS symptoms or things like that, you probably have a tug of war happening in there.
00:40:49.119 -->
00:41:04.880And so a daily probiotic, if it is, which we're gonna get into more details in on the kind of mini episodes, if it's manufactured correctly and you have the proper strains, you're gonna see a tremendous change in your overall gut health and therefore the rest of your body.
00:41:05.440 -->
00:41:11.840Um, our approach to this is that because remember how there are, you know, how many trillions of organisms.
00:41:13.039 -->
00:41:17.039We think that it's best to provide multiple strains.
00:41:17.199 -->
00:41:20.239So, you know, there's some products out there that maybe are one or two strains.
00:41:20.400 -->
00:41:21.920That's that I mean, that's fine.
00:41:22.000 -->
00:41:32.000It's just that, you know, there's so many strains in there that have been studied to do so many different things, like the latobacillus, the bifabacterium, the rotori, they're all these Sacromyces Balardi.
00:41:32.159 -->
00:41:34.639These guys are in here to protect you.
00:41:34.880 -->
00:41:40.639And so to take a daily probiotic with multiple strains, ours happens to be non-refrigerated.
00:41:40.800 -->
00:41:45.920That's why it's our number one bestseller still nationwide, because you don't have to refrigerate it.
00:41:46.000 -->
00:41:51.119And the reason you don't have to, we'll get into in more detail in another episode, is because of the way we manufacture it.
00:41:51.280 -->
00:41:54.320So it's it's you don't forget it if it's behind the ketchup in your fridge.
00:41:54.480 -->
00:41:54.559Right.
00:41:54.880 -->
00:41:56.000I mean, it's like right there.
00:41:56.320 -->
00:42:05.840So being able to have multiple strains in therapeutic doses, which is also key, if it's not enough of the strain, it's just not gonna have the benefit that you're looking for.
00:42:06.079 -->
00:42:12.000Um, and there are the research is really moving towards a lot of the higher dose probiotics as well.
00:42:12.159 -->
00:42:30.800I don't know if the market's quite ready for those because they are gonna be a higher price tag, but we're talking about literally higher dose probiotics that have been shown in clinical trials to modulate your genes, to turn on genes that will reduce intestinal permeability, that will help your immune system.
00:42:30.960 -->
00:42:31.599That's huge.
00:42:32.000 -->
00:42:37.840That's like your fighting chance at the world, you know, is how your epigenetics within your body.
00:42:38.000 -->
00:42:45.679So, so yeah, having multiple strains and um, you know, making it a nice, easy, non-refrigerated product is the way to go to help with the gut.
00:42:45.920 -->
00:42:48.559Yeah, biome lift is like the best.
00:42:48.719 -->
00:42:50.559I call it maintenance probiotic.
00:42:50.639 -->
00:42:57.679It's just like it keeps you balanced, keeps you stable because we help women at the practice level heal their gut.
00:42:57.840 -->
00:43:23.440They go through a gut healing protocol with stool testing and they're on more specific probiotics or higher doses, but then we transition them to biome lift because it just helps you make your neurotransmitters and your vitamins and like feel good and keep that gut lining integrity there so you don't walk around with leaky gut and immune responses and all those things.
00:43:23.679 -->
00:43:27.119So I just I can't say enough about biome lift.
00:43:27.199 -->
00:43:33.679And I love the Sacchomyces Ballardian there because women tend to get yeast overgrowth.
00:43:33.760 -->
00:43:36.079We just do more than men, you know?
00:43:36.320 -->
00:43:46.320And so I like to see that in there because I feel like it helps us regulate our blood sugar and just keep us healthy as women.
00:43:46.480 -->
00:43:47.360Don't you agree?
00:43:47.760 -->
00:43:48.880Yeah, it's very critical.
00:43:48.960 -->
00:43:52.800And that's a really unique component of it is the sacramces bolardi.
00:43:53.119 -->
00:43:56.719It's a different type of probiotic, it acts differently than others do.
00:43:56.960 -->
00:43:59.039The outer layer, this is how I envision it.
00:43:59.119 -->
00:44:00.000I literally envision this.
00:44:00.159 -->
00:44:03.280It's like the outer layer of sacromysis polarity is like sticky.
00:44:03.440 -->
00:44:10.480So it's like I envision this like bowling ball just rolling through your gut, but when it's rolling down, it's just collecting and collecting and getting bigger and bigger.
00:44:10.719 -->
00:44:13.440But it's it's it's collecting the bad guys too.
00:44:13.519 -->
00:44:18.400So it's really preventing things, it prevents things from just sticking to where they shouldn't be sticking.
00:44:18.480 -->
00:44:21.840So it's kind of goes in and really kind of like a Roomba.
00:44:22.400 -->
00:44:23.440Yeah, that's what it's like.
00:44:23.760 -->
00:44:24.719It's so neat.
00:44:24.880 -->
00:44:26.880It's so, so, so neat how it works.
00:44:27.119 -->
00:44:29.280So yeah, it's a great number one bestseller.
00:44:29.599 -->
00:44:30.800Oh my gosh, so good.
00:44:30.960 -->
00:44:33.119Yeah, we could literally go on all day.
00:44:33.280 -->
00:44:56.719What we're gonna do is we're gonna dive into each of our best-selling supplements a little bit deeper so that you understand why you're taking it, what it's doing for you, maybe what it's not doing for you, who it's not for, and just get you more informed and and comfortable with your decision that you're using these fast faith supplements.
00:44:56.960 -->
00:45:02.880So um, anything else we want to say before we wrap up this general episode on supplements?
00:45:03.039 -->
00:45:04.719Like, is anything tugging at you?
00:45:04.960 -->
00:45:05.199Yes.
00:45:05.360 -->
00:45:05.599Okay.
00:45:05.760 -->
00:45:14.639So I think when you are um, I don't know, like when you hear things maybe on the television, um, that's a good example.
00:45:14.800 -->
00:45:23.199Um just ask yourself, just just just kind of have a qu just have a questioning mindset when it comes to claims being made about supplements.
00:45:23.840 -->
00:45:28.159I hear things every day on our television that I know are false claims.
00:45:28.480 -->
00:45:29.360And I know that.
00:45:30.079 -->
00:45:36.639So just understand that where you get your information from, this this is obviously we are reputable resources here.
00:45:36.719 -->
00:45:38.239We have research, we have data.
00:45:38.639 -->
00:45:42.239Really make sure to do your research and and just question.
00:45:42.320 -->
00:45:43.360Start questioning things.
00:45:43.519 -->
00:45:50.639If you see something online, if you see an Instagram ad, like, mmm, okay, but let me look into that a little bit more.
00:45:50.880 -->
00:45:55.199See if you can get a certificate of analysis, see if there's actual research out there.
00:45:55.360 -->
00:46:00.880Um, you know, really push back and ask questions because it is your health.
00:46:00.960 -->
00:46:02.079Um, it is your body.
00:46:02.239 -->
00:46:06.159You have to make decisions about what you consume and you want to make sure that they're good.
00:46:06.239 -->
00:46:11.440So just have a questioning mindset when it comes to the the claims that that are made by supplements.
00:46:11.599 -->
00:46:11.840Yeah.
00:46:12.400 -->
00:46:12.960I love that.
00:46:13.199 -->
00:46:13.760Me too.
00:46:13.920 -->
00:46:14.239Yeah.
00:46:14.400 -->
00:46:15.679This was really informative.
00:46:15.760 -->
00:46:23.280And I feel like everyone that's listening can at least walk away saying, I've got to take some vitamin D and maybe some omegas too.
00:46:24.000 -->
00:46:26.400But it's not about taking more supplements, right?
00:46:26.559 -->
00:46:28.159It's about taking the right ones.
00:46:28.480 -->
00:46:30.880Yeah, and they need to really look at what they've got in their cupboard.
00:46:30.960 -->
00:46:31.840Like, what are they taking?
00:46:32.079 -->
00:46:32.880And is it really good?
00:46:33.119 -->
00:46:44.079That's one thing that I actually hear quite often from the clinicians I work with across the state is most often when um patients start to use orthomolecular supplements, they get rid of like 20 supplements.
00:46:44.320 -->
00:46:50.079They were taking all of these, but they found we can consolidate everything oh, in just one or two.
00:46:50.320 -->
00:46:52.719So you actually end up, like you said, taking less.
00:46:52.800 -->
00:46:53.039Yeah.
00:46:53.199 -->
00:46:57.039Even though the price egg seems higher, ultimately you're taking less.
00:46:57.280 -->
00:46:57.519Yeah.
00:46:57.679 -->
00:47:08.880We get women who are taking uh a B12 and they're taking a folate and they're taking NAC and then they're taking an antioxidant and then they're taking a multivitamin.
00:47:08.960 -->
00:47:15.920Like literally all of that is in hormone tame essential multivitamin, like all in one at a therapeutic dose.
00:47:16.320 -->
00:47:18.480So such a big difference.
00:47:18.719 -->
00:47:19.840So important to understand.
00:47:20.000 -->
00:47:24.639So I would encourage you, ladies, go through your supplements.
00:47:24.800 -->
00:47:35.119I do this a few times a year because we all end up with a supplement graveyard, and I definitely do because I get so many things just sent to me.
00:47:35.280 -->
00:47:39.679It's funny how they're like, check out my new supplement, check out my new book.
00:47:39.760 -->
00:47:43.760I get stuff in the mail all the time that I did not buy.
00:47:44.000 -->
00:47:47.440So I get this graveyard of supplements, and I have to go through.
00:47:47.519 -->
00:47:51.679I'm like, oh, why do I have this from Doctor Whoever?
00:47:51.840 -->
00:47:57.440And so it's good to just take stock, check your expiration date.
00:47:57.679 -->
00:47:58.800Oh my goodness.
00:47:58.960 -->
00:48:03.280I just had somebody say, Oh, yeah, I have your gutsy guy and blah, blah, blah.
00:48:03.360 -->
00:48:07.760I said, We rebranded like almost three years ago, two years ago.
00:48:07.920 -->
00:48:09.280That's expired.
00:48:09.760 -->
00:48:11.920So check your expiration dates.
00:48:12.239 -->
00:48:16.320Look at the doses, look at the manufacturer.
00:48:16.559 -->
00:48:18.559Is this actually helping you?
00:48:18.800 -->
00:48:27.119And if there's any question, throw it away and start fresh because like you could be doing more harm than good.
00:48:27.280 -->
00:48:28.960Don't just take it to finish it out.
00:48:29.119 -->
00:48:33.360That's another thing I hear too is well, let me just finish this out.
00:48:33.519 -->
00:48:35.360Oh, please don't do that.
00:48:35.599 -->
00:48:37.679If you shouldn't be taking it, just throw it away.
00:48:37.840 -->
00:48:38.400It's okay.
00:48:38.559 -->
00:48:40.960We all learn from our mistakes, right?
00:48:41.519 -->
00:48:45.840And so check out our upcoming supplement spotlights.
00:48:46.000 -->
00:48:48.000We're gonna talk about these in detail.
00:48:48.159 -->
00:48:50.000Hopefully, this helped you today.
00:48:50.159 -->
00:48:52.400You are such a wealth of knowledge, Emily.
00:48:52.480 -->
00:48:56.079I'm so excited to just dive in on all these other topics.
00:48:56.239 -->

00:49:17.679 -->
