In this Episode we will share why Sea vegetables are the most nutritionally dense plants on the planet and the most abundant source of vitamins and minerals in the plant kingdom.  We will highlight Energy, and daily nutrition.]

To help us do the heavy lifting we have invited Greg Good, the CEO and Founder of FarmaSea and Sea Veg Whole Food Seaweed supplement.

Sea vegetables are packed with protein, iodine, fiber and vitamins A, B, C and E in amounts that are 10 to 20 times higher than land vegetables, while some sea vegetables contain more calcium than milk. Sea lettuce has 25 times the iron found in beef. Which is great for people who can’t have beef or prefer not to.

An 8-week study of 60 Japanese people revealed that fucoxanthin, a substance in brown seaweed, may help improve blood sugar control.

Another substance in seaweed called alginate prevented blood sugar spikes in animals after they were fed a high-sugar meal. It’s thought that alginate may reduce the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

A 2023 meta-analysis Trusted Source found that brown seaweed consumption significantly improved blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).

Anyone who wants help to feel more natural energy, take a preventative approach to their health, manage the effects of aging, and look to bridge the nutritional gaps currently they’re not getting in their daily diet.

We have a great show planned for our listeners today, we will share a Revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral care health. We shared about fluoride in the water supply, ways to support oral care, and ended with respiratory tips for the cold months ahead.

Our guest today is our good friend, Nathan Jones.  It has been over 2 decades now (2000) since he founded Xlear, Inc., the xylitol-product based company whose revolutionary all-natural approach to upper respiratory and oral health has improved the quality of life for people around the globe.

Most allergens enter the body through the nose, although the mouth and eyes are also common entry points. Keeping these gateways to the body clean is of utmost importance during allergy season if you want to reduce symptoms and not rely on antihistamines. There are other products out there, such as Xlear Nasal Spray with xylitol, which can help keep the nasal passage clean and clear of seasonal allergies, all without the negative side effects that antihistamines can cause. The addition of xylitol allows Xlear to be hypertonic, without causing the uncomfortable burning sensation that accompanies traditional saline nasal sprays. This hypertonicity means that more moisture is being pulled into the nose to help wash out contaminants and ensure the nose and sinuses are hydrated

If you’re on the lookout for an antihistamine-free remedy to your allergies this season, give Xlear a try.

Xlear Nasal Products are available at Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Rite Aid, Target, Kroger, Publix, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide. They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.

Spry Dental Products are available at Wegmans, Vitamin Shoppe, Sprouts Farmers Markets, Natural Grocers, and most all Natural market retailers.  They can also be purchased online, including on Amazon.

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.

Talking Points:

Palmitoylethanolamide, is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. Several human studies have demonstrated that PEA has broad-spectrum pain-relieving properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and nerve protection.

PEA was first discovered in 1957 by scientists at Merck Sharp & Dome, who isolated it from egg yolk, peanut meal, and soy lecithin. They found that PEA had anti-inflammatory properties in guinea pigs.

However, PEA's role as a potential therapeutic agent was not widely recognized until 1993, when Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleagues published research that suggested PEA has anti-inflammatory properties. Levi-Montalcini's group termed PEA an autocoid local injury antagonist (ALIA), and suggested that it acts locally to counteract injury

Multiple studies have demonstrated that PEA improves all sorts of pain. For example, a 2023 analysis of 11 studies found that PEA improved pain of various conditions, including muscle and joints, nerves, gynecological, and digestive. In terms of joint pain, a high-quality study demonstrated that PEA significantly reduced adult joint pain compared to placebo. Moreover, 8 clinical trials demonstrated that PEA was effective for low back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Even migraine headache pain was shown in published research to be improved with PEA.

Lipid mediators help to balance the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, affecting pain pathways related to inflammation. But unfortunately, due to changing diets, many of us do not get the nutrition and activity we need to make enough PEA ourselves.

In this episode, good friend Amber Lynn Vitale joins us to unpack the many layers of one of the hottest new supplements in the past year, Berberine. She shared what's real, based on science and as a consumer how to spot a poorly made version of Berberine.

Talking Points:

What is Berberine?

Berberine is found in Goldenseal, Oregon Grape, and Turmeric Tree also known as Barberry. In all these plants Berberine comes from the roots, and is used in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Western herbalism. Bitter and Astringent, it is traditionally known to reduce fat and improve sugar metabolism by improving glucose and lipid receptor expression.

Numerous studies on Berberine show it supports healthy:
Blood Sugar levels
Lipid profile
Blood Pressure
Inflammatory response
Weight and Body Composition
Cognitive function
Reproductive function…especially researched in PCOS

Berbevis clinical studies show benefits in body composition with fat redistribution away from the organs, glucose and insulin metabolism, and bioavailability with respect to both absorption and half-life potency.

Guest: Amber Lynn Vitale, CN is Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® and a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional™. She is also an Ayurvedic Clinical Consultant on faculty with Wild Rose College of Herbal Medicine, and on the advisory board for Natural Practitioner and Taste for Life magazines.

Since 2008 she has been producing written and video educational content for many publications, an educational YouTube channel, and Instagram and Facebook pages.

We have a great episode planned for you today and will cover “The Holidays” & Our Digestion.

Joining us today is Naturopathic Practitioner, Jane Jansen of the Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts. Jane has the unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a naturopathic practitioner, spent years in Radiology and Ultrasound doing research and performing tests on patients with varying types of health problems.

We look forward all year to family traditions enjoying our favorite recipes for food, beverages and treats during the holidays. Traveling to see friends and family or hosting special events. But during the holidays our digestive systems can take a beating.

But let’s be real, most of the daily habits that keep our digestion healthy during the year, get put on hold during the holidays. Over-indulging, staying up late, and stress physically and emotionally is part of most holidays as there are so many things to do!

So, what do practitioners recommend to keep our digestive system balanced, yet still be able to enjoy the rich treats this holiday season?

According to Jane Jahnsen, a Naturopathic practitioner, I often advise my patients to practice moderation and balance their holiday food and drink choices, On the actual holiday don’t worry about enjoying yourself, unless you have specific health concerns that your doctor says otherwise. But don’t give yourself excuses to overindulge every day leading up to or every day after the holiday. That includes food, treats, and beverages. Be mindful of becoming over stressed, or not sleeping well too. Your body talks to you all the time, listening to it and it will tell you when you, and your microbiome, are out of balance.

Let’s remind everyone that Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics are available at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods,
and other natural health retailers across the U.S. Also available online.

Guest: Corinna Bellizzi, MBA is a natural products industry executive and omega-3 expert who successfully creates new nutrition categories, pioneers brands, and develops educational strategies that disrupt markets.

As an avid podcaster, she started a new podcast, Nutrition Without Compromise, to lean into the simple truth that great nutrition and bountiful health are a human right. She is also the host and creator of another great podcast, Care more be better.

Last time Corinna joined me we shared a groundbreaking study conducted by an international team of researchers that unveiled a pioneering approach to boosting the production of active vitamin B12 in Spirulina. For those of you who missed that episode it is Ep 553 if you want to listen to it after this show.

This study presents Spirulina as a viable, sustainable alternative to traditional animal sources, reducing environmental impacts from livestock farming. Also, a great source for people that don’t consume animal-based proteins.

Vitamin B12 deficiency affects over a billion people worldwide, leading to serious health issues. This study presents Spirulina as a viable, sustainable alternative to traditional animal sources, reducing environmental impacts from livestock farming.

Many medications deplete the body of B vitamins. Examples include acid reflux medications such as the Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), Prednisone, Metformin, Antibiotics, Birth Control Pills, Anti-seizure medications, Antidepressants, Chemotherapy drugs such as Methotrexate, and several others. Research has shown that the elderly who take three or more medications are prone to B vitamin deficiencies such as B2, B6, Folate, and B12.

Boosting B vitamin levels quickly helps improve energy. A deficiency of just one B vitamin will negatively affect the complex production of energy (ATP) in your cells.
