*Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that's been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. As an adaptogen, it's great at combating stress and preventing the release of excess cortisol. By regulating the body's physiological response to stress, ashwagandha is believed by a number of researchers to be able to stave off the anxiolytic effects of day-to-day, and even acute stress. In one very impressive, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in the year 2000, 88.2% of all participants who took a form of the ashwagandha herb saw a marked improvement in their anxiety levels after 2 and 6 weeks, the pre-determined follow-up times of observance. Certainly more research should be conducted, but the more this wonder-herb is being studied the more promise it shows. As a suspected potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it's effects on the brain and body have been touted to help support everything from thyroid function, to adrenal fatigue, energy levels, brain cell activity, and immune system virility, to name a few. And if you're excited like I am about this herb, I've got fantastic news… It's our latest Elite Life Nutrition product!

*Have you heard of AutoSlash yet? If not, listen up because they are INCREDIBLE and the single best car rental booking site I've come across when it comes to finding the best deal on renting a car. If you're like me and you travel a lot, Autoslash can be a lifesaver! Unlike other car rental booking sites which offer up "standard rates", AutoSlash searches hundreds of coupons and discount codes for all the major rental companies to find you the lowest rate possible taking into account discounts you are already eligible for based on your membership affiliations. This includes discounts for members of AAA, Costco, AARP, credit cards and various frequent flyer programs that are free to sign up for. Instead of searching all over the place, and comparing rates, AutoSlash does all the work for you to find the lowest rate possible. Best of all, it's a free service. Once booked, you can track pricing on your reservation and AutoSlash will keep on looking for better deals right up until your pickup date. Rates often drop as the pickup date approaches, so you can often save a significant amount of money this way. Not only will they check the company you're currently booked with, but all other companies as well. If they find a lower rate, they'll email you so you can re-book and save. Many customers re-book multiple times as rates drop and AutoSlash finds better deals. AutoSlash searches all the major rental companies including many discount brands. Renters on average save 30% or more using AutoSlash and AutoSlash saves customers millions of dollars per year. I used to spend hours and hours trying to look up all sorts of coupons from so many different sites. I've literally wasted numerous days of my existence trying to save money on getting a nice but affordable rental. But now, I don't have to worry about that at all! Why? Because AutoSlash has my back and they take care of all this for me! And quite honestly, I kind of love the fact that they get to help me, and you, the regular hard-working man, save some extra cash, instead of having to fork it over to the massive corporate rental companies. Always a plus! And did I mention it's totally free? Yup, if you travel regularly, or make even one trip this year for that matter, make sure you check out AutoSlash now. They will definitely save you a boatload of money, and get you the best deal possible. Go to AutoSlash.com right now to start saving! Again, that's AutoSlash.com!

In today's episode Dr. Fossel talks about the use of telomerase in curing age-related diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, heart disease, and many more. He discusses the profound role of telomeres in age-related diseases, and aging itself, and how by re-lengthening our telomeres, we can reverse almost all disease, and perhaps even more remarkable, dramatically slow down aging.

I'll give you a hint now: no more Alzheimer's and doubling your life span!
