On this episode, we did a Part 2 of a recent episode we did on Brain Drain.
As we referenced in the last show today, more than ever, our brain health and cognitive function is paramount to our everyday life. The continual flow of information being fed to our brains is, at times, overwhelming.

Today, more than ever, our brain health and cognitive function is paramount to our
everyday life. The continual flow of information being fed to our brains is, at
times, overwhelming.
In this episode we share some helpful information on ways to support the brain
and some of| the things people are dealing with (Brain fog, Mommy brain, and
Age-related decline).

Do you have acid reflux or the more severe form of it known as gastroesophageal-reflux disease (GERD)? This is often an overlooked digestive condition that affects millions all over the world.
Common symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, and throat pain; less common ones can be coughing up blood. This less-common symptom is due to a burst stomach ulceration in certain cases where there are esophagus tears — caused by too much pressure from food moving down into the stomach. Incidence rates vary greatly depending on the continent – one study found 28 percent of North American adults suffer from GERD.
GERD occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter does not work correctly. This causes acid to backwash up into your mouth and throat, which may cause burning sensations or heartburn.
The most common risk factors for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) are being overweight and having a history of smoking cigarettes. Other aggravating factors include:
Looking for a supportive way to help your body regulate natural digestion and detox functions?
Our Doctor Formulated Digest and Detox formulas were created to help cleanse the body, all formulated with clinical amounts to help support optimal results.
Commonly prescribed drugs for GERD can be risky and should not be used long-term. PPIs currently available on prescription in the USA are dexlansoprazole (Dexilant), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), pantoprazleo (Protonix), and rabeprozale (Aciphex).
These medications suppress stomach acid secretion, but come with side effects such as headache, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, which is why your doctor may recommend another option if possible before prescribing an unnecessary medication.
And there is more concern. A study by the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs found that PPI use was associated with deaths, in particular from cardiovascular disease and upper gastrointestinal cancer. This latest research follows on previous studies which revealed links between gastric ulcers and an increased risk for heart problems or kidney failure among patients taking acid reflux drugs such as H2 blockers (another type of stomach suppressor).
Lead researcher Dr Ziyad Al-Aly (Assistant Professor Medicine at Washington University School St Louis) is worried about what his findings could mean given how many people have already begun using these meds — despite being aware they may cause MORE serious side-effects than expected.
Dr. Al-Aly states, “Given the millions of people who take PPIs regularly, this translates into thousands of excess deaths every year.” Additionally, due to so many people consuming PPI medications long-term, he cautioned: “Taking PPIs over many months or years is not safe, and now we have a clearer picture of the health conditions associated with long-term PPI use.”
Your body uses stomach acid to break down food, aiding in our absorption of certain nutrients. PPIs can cause many nutrient deficiencies, including magnesium which leads to chronic fatigue symptoms or anemia, as well as deficiency in B12, vitamin C, Calcium, and Iron.
This often happens because it suppresses hydrochloric acid, so you may be missing out on the effective benefits of balanced gut flora due to taking medicine with these side effects.

Throughout the years we’ve seen many iconic pairs born into stardom — For example, take Batman and Robin, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, or even one of the most timeless couples… Sonny and Cher.
These duos have gone down in history as iconic figures, easily recognized by almost anyone that hears their name. But this year has introduced a new pair that is soon to become just as iconic. It isn’t a person or a fictional character… but something far more important during these uncertain times, providing huge benefits to our health and wellbeing.
When combined, this impressive immunity-supporting duo works together to help unlock the cellular barrier, encouraging the body to absorb these powerful nutrients much more effectively — helping give the immune response some much-needed support!*
Quercetin Phytosome is made from a unique formulation that provides the body with up to a 20X increase in absorption compared to regular unformulated quercetin. *1
A recent study shared by the International Journal of General Medicine tells us that:
“the preclinical use of quercetin, or polyphenols of the quercetin type, in animal models of viral respiratory infection is able to significantly reduce: the mortality rate, the viral load, the release of proinflammatory cytokines, the presence of reactive oxygen species, the production of mucus and, therefore, also the resistance of the airways. Supplementing with quercetin-type molecules could therefore be considered a promising strategy for the treatment of viral respiratory infections.” *2
Zinc is an essential nutrient that is found naturally throughout the body. It offers many benefits but is most famous for its immune-supporting qualities!*
A published study refers to Zinc as the “gatekeeper of the immune system, since the adequate function of virtually all immune cells is highly zinc-dependent.” *3
Zinc is responsible for monitoring intercellular communication in both innate and adaptive immune cells.*1
When taken with Quercetin, the cells are opened up which allows for better absorption, and more of the immunity benefits of Zinc for your health. To help provide the best possible absorption possible, we use only 100% Albion Chelated Zinc our formula.*

DNA holds our genetic information and the “blueprint” for life. It stores everything from your eye color, height, personality traits – you name it!
Most people have heard that a person’s genome can be compared to an operating system of a computer; however, your genome has many more layers than that of a computer.
When you think about it, your body has a supercomputer made of cells that processes information and makes decisions based on signals received from sensors (or neurotransmitters) which easily rival the capabilities of any modern-day computer software.
As Bill Gates said in response to Thomas Stewart’s article ‘The Human Body as Supercomputer’, “DNA isn’t just similar; It has more similarities than differences with computers.“
Your DNA is the most sophisticated and complex protein-based language system in existence, and it has the ability to rearrange its genes (protein-coding regions) to adapt to the environment and the needs of your body.
DNA’s double helix structure is wound up around proteins called histones and compressed into an incredibly tiny space (about 6000 times smaller than the head of a pin). If you were to stretch out DNA from each cell, it would reach about six and a half feet in length!
Your body has built-in mechanisms to help protect your DNA. For example, there are sophisticated detoxification pathways that eliminate both the toxic byproducts of your metabolism as well as chemicals you may have been exposed to from the environment.
Did you know Glutathione is the most abundant antioxidant in our bodies?
Glutathione is known as the master antioxidant and is one of the most important and powerful antioxidants in your body.
Glutathione levels in the body may be reduced by a number of factors, including poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress. Glutathione levels may also drop dramatically during aging.
A diet low in glutathione can lead to an increased risk of environmental toxins and health problems. Since most Americans don’t get enough Glutathione in their food they’re missing out on all sorts of benefits from this essential nutrient, including:
The best way to get rid of toxins is by eating a healthy diet, but if you’re exposed to toxins regularly or have an unbalanced immune system, consider supplementing with oral glutathione.
