Forever Young Radio Show / Podcast

We have a great show planned today and will talk about why there has been a significant rise in people of all ages using Creatine. To help us unpack all the research and studies we have Dr. Stengler joining us today.

In addition to authoring 30 books on health and several best-sellers such as “The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies,” “Prescription for Natural Cures,” “Prescription for Drug Alternatives,” and “Outside the Box Cancer Therapies,” Dr. Stengler has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals such as The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism International Journal, and Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering.

Dr. Stengler’s, NMD. The newest book is called, The Holistic Guide to Gut Health.
A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.
Talking Points:

Is creatine only useful for resistance / power type activities?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Today we will be covering the hormone DHEA. What it is and what it does, and how to use it correctly.

DHEA is an anti-aging supplement. It does give an advantage. It is shown to play a role in improving libido, building muscle, and reducing risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

To help us to share the health benefits of DHEA we have Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream.

Hugh is a subject matter expert on DHEA dedicating the past 20+ years of his life to studying medical research about it, and starting a company to research, and develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement (cream) that can be made and distributed.

DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, it is a naturally occurring prohormone we all make and have. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring prohormone in the human body.

-A foundation or base building block for other smaller more specific hormones like testosterone and estrogens and about 50 other hormones that are smaller, more specific carbon chain molecules in the cascade of metabolism in the human body.

-Hormones drive our energy, mood, muscle tone, fat, quality of sleep, mental sharpness, immune system, sex drive, and more.

As a result of aging, and a gradual lowering of natural DHEA production after age 25, many of our natural body processes begin to slow down. As a result, most people start to have less energy and gain weight, have lower sex drive, and tend to start losing their mental sharpness and drive, have trouble sleeping and may start to get sick more often.

Back by special request we have The Mineral Geek returning today. Caroline Alan is a mineral expert, author, and Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals.   We will cover, The main minerals that affect mental health with a highlight on Plant-Based Minerals.

We tend to think of problems with mental health being solved with therapy.  But you are saying that mineral deficiency plays a role.  How is it connected?

The main minerals that affect mental health:

Magnesium - energy production. Magnesium blocks NMDA receptors in the brain. This action stops excess nerve excitation. It modulates the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, helping to lower stress hormones like cortisol. Magnesium helps support and balance neurotransmitters like serotonin (for mood), GABA (for calm), and melatonin (for sleep). Mental or physical stress can deplete magnesium levels, and low magnesium can increase feelings of anxiety and depression, creating a continuous cycle

Copper - Works with Magnesium and is key to making dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin in the body. Copper helps regulate stress hormones and your thyroid, which keeps your mood stable

Selenium - The brain needs thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) to control mood. Selenium-dependent enzymes activate these hormones. Selenium may help modulate dopamine and serotonin, the brain chemicals responsible for happiness and emotional stability

Zinc - dopamine, serotonin and Gaba (calming) - important for anxiety.  Zinc calms overactive NMDA receptors in brain cells, which protects neurons from toxic stress and damage linked to depression

Iron - Iron acts as an essential helper (cofactor) for enzymes that manufacture key mood chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine.  Low iron can disrupt the body's stress-response system (the HPA axis), making it harder to calm your nervous system and increasing your sensitivity to anxiety.

The popularity of GLP-1s antagonists is growing at an incredible rate all over the world. The demand is so high that millions of dollars have been spent trying to find all-natural plant-based substances to mimic the mechanism of action of these drugs. GLP-1s are medications that mimic the effects of a naturally occurring hormone in the body, GLP-1, to help regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. They work by stimulating insulin release, suppressing glucagon, slowing digestion, and increasing feelings of fullness.

At MacroLife Naturals, it is our mission to create synergistic formulas that help us live longer to get the most out of life. We transformed this passion into creating our family company after its founder Sylvia Ortiz created Macro Greens in 1998. Sylvia was on a quest to help her son regain his health and cut down the cost and headache of taking 30-40 tablets and capsules a day. After seeing her son JR’s success in trimming down 65 lbs. and getting his digestion and food cravings under control. JR & Sylvia decided to dive deep into researching natural ways to feed the body at the cellular level and produce an environment for multiple systems to thrive. Essentially, we were taking a “Macro” view to health and wellness. This is how MacroLife Naturals was formed 25+ years ago.

JR Ortiz, President of MacroLife Naturals personal fat-to-fit transformation using Macro Greens® led to why it worked when nothing else did. Through his studies and building the sales team he became the lead formulator and is now the President of MacroLife Naturals. JR is devoted to bridging the gap between allopathic and holistic medicine, building formulas that feed the body at the cellular level while making them complementary to commonly prescribed
medications and absolutely delicious!

JR worked on the Corporate Advisory Board of the UCLA School of Nursing as the official liaison for UCLA into the Natural Products Industry. He remains the youngest board member ever at UCLA since his appointment in 2008.

As you know, not all probiotics are created equal. Whether you are trying to improve your digestion, immune system, brain health or overall wellness, choosing the right probiotic can make a real difference.  Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics has decades of research that Essential Formulas had done to develop their unique formulas.

Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics were created by renowned microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira and then validated by over 35 years of clinical and scientific research. Multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies have confirmed Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics wide-range benefits.

Numerous people taking Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics often report having a reduction in fatigue and increased energy, stamina and endurance. This has been reported in a study with healthy adults and in another study with trained athletes.  Another thing that many people experience is an improvement in their digestion and elimination. In one study, a group of college-age women with a history of poor bowel habits and irregular elimination took 3 capsules of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics daily for two weeks. By the end of the 2-week test period, ALL the women were having normal, healthy, daily bowel movements.

Typically, after 3-4 weeks, sometimes sooner, many people report reduced bloating, less gas, and regular predictable bowel movements.

Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics are available at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, and other natural health retailers across the U.S. Also available online.

Topic: Nature’s Solution for Mineral Replenishment of All Cellular Systems

Caroline Alan is a health survivor, mineral expert, and educator on a mission to redefine how we think about cellular health. After a high-pressure career in tech left her physically and mentally depleted, her healing journey led to the discovery of plant-based minerals and their powerful role in restoring the body’s natural balance. Her experience sparked deep research into human physiology and the science of humic and fulvic substances.

Today, as Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, Caroline, affectionately known as “The Mineral Geek,” shares this life-changing knowledge with clarity, science, and heart, empowering others to take charge of their wellness at the cellular level.

Talking Points:

• So we’ve talked about how hard it can be to get minerals back into your cells, but nature already has a solution to that. Can you explain it?

• “You often talk about fulvic and humic minerals as nature’s replenishment system. Can you explain what those substances are?”

• You often explain that these compounds exist everywhere healthy ecosystems exist. Why is that important when we’re talking about mineral replenishment in the body?

• How do fulvic and humic substances work together to support mineral replenishment across the whole body?

Nature restores balance through humic and fulvic substances that work together to support cellular permeability, transport minerals and nutrients into cells, and help remove unwanted substances, enabling whole-body mineral replenishment in alignment with the body’s natural design rather than targeting isolated symptoms.
