Topic: Newly Published Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract Study on Global Cognitive Health.

Joining us today is Jane Jansen, a Natural & Holistic Practitioner at The Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts. Jane has the unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a natural & holistic practitioner, spent years in Radiology and Ultrasound doing research and performing tests on patients with varying types of health problems including cardiovascular. Jane joins us to discuss a very exciting, NEWLY published study that shows that Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract enhances cognition by increasing Nitric Oxide.

According to The Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 7.2 million Americans, age 65 and older, are currently living with Alzheimer's disease.

While science continues to search for a medical breakthrough to effectively address this devastating brain condition, a growing number of studies point to the role non-pharmaceuticals can play in improving cognition and possibly even helping to keep Alzheimer’s at bay. One of those garnering interests is nitric oxide, a colorless gas primarily produced within the endothelial cells lining the body’s blood vessels.

Promising research shows that nitric oxide (NO) can help improve cognition and protect against dementia by enhancing neuronal communication, reducing inflammation, and supporting healthy blood flow in the brain. It also supports the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections—a process vital for learning new things and storing memories. The problem is, the body’s production of NO declines with age, with a loss of up to 75 percent by age 70. What’s more, epidemiological investigations have found a link between this deficiency and Alzheimer’s disease in the elderly.

A new study in the World Academy of Sciences Journal reports that AGE can effectively enhance cognition by increasing NO’s bioavailability.

Kyolic AGE is the best-selling, odorless, aged garlic extract. Proven safe and effective, AGE and its constituents have been the subject of over 1000 published scientific articles that document its health benefits.

Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract formulas are available at your local health food store and online. For more information about Kyolic, or to find a retailer near you, visit Kyolic.com

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.

DHEA was first identified in 1931 by Dr. Adolf Butenandt, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1939. Frequently called “the anti-aging hormone”, DHEA is a base for more than 50 hormones that are smaller or more specific carbon chain molecules in human biochemistry. As a precursor for all estrogenic and androgenic hormones, humans make DHEA naturally from birth.

It’s now well established that chronic stress leads to an out-pouring of cortisol and with that, a gradual depletion of DHEA. DHEA is a prohormone – a natural building block for hormones our bodies make.

Over time, this hormonal imbalance can lead to brain fog, thinning bones, weight gain, low sex drive and poor Immune function.

Maintaining proper DHEA levels in the body is important to your overall health and may lead to Increased energy, enhanced mood and focus, sound sleep, and better letting skin.

Guest: Joining us today is Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream.

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.
