I always am so excited to share so many of the amazing benefits of our Clean Sourced Collagens with you and so many of my patients, because collagen is a powerhouse protein that can restore our energy. It can restore our youthfulness. It has great superficial benefits like reducing wrinkles and improving our skin tone and improving any tears and kind of changes in our cellular tissue in our skin. But most importantly, it has extensive benefits inside our body.
If you’re looking to heal and really create a more youthful body from the inside out, collagen has to be at the foundation of your program. I’ll share with you a few reasons.
First of all, we have five of the core collagens in this powdered format. The second reason I really love this is its powdered component allows you to mix it in a hot beverage like a tea or coffee. You can add it to yogurt or a nut yogurt, a smoothie. We even bake with it in my household. You can add this in on the daily to support good, clean cellular turnover of your tissue cells.
A Specific Protein Type That Must be Outsourced
But most importantly, the protein in collagen – collagen is a specific protein type – the protein needed by your body, there’s only certain forms of protein that are accessible for your body to use to create more supple, stronger ligaments, tendons, assorted soft tissue, and even bone, and the collagen protein is what is required. You have to outsource that protein. That means, simply, you have to add that into your daily diet. Some people will add bone broths and others may eat more animal-based organ meats and soft tissue meats or cuisine.
Collagen Supports Soft Tissue
But for many of us, we choose collagen powders as our way to get this very potent form of amino acids with protein that will power up our soft tissue. It helps relieve joint pain. It can repair certain ligament and soft tissue tears, and makes, actually, our tissue more supple and more youthful.
Collagen Supports & Improves Digestive Health
One of the things that we found is that digestively, collagen can help improve IBS. If you think about all of the skin and soft tissue on the outside of our body, as well as on the inside of our body, collagen can benefit all of those tissue types.
If you are dealing with let’s say an ulcer or maybe a hiatal hernia in your stomach, collagen can be beneficial for that because it can help support the tissue of the stomach, the area and the soft tissue in and around that stomach lining. We also see with digestive imbalances, it can help improve the single-cell intestinal lining.
Collagen Benefits Heart Health
We also see epithelial benefits, and that is simply a type of tissue that is in the lining of our vascular channel. We have 26 different types of epithelial tissue types. Well, collagen can benefit that as well.
For individuals who are looking to improve their heart health, that want to have a more youthful appearance, that want to have a more youthful feeling body, that want to have more flexibility in their joints and range of movement and motion, collagen can benefit that.
Collagen Aids in Increased Bone Density and Remineralization
And for many of us, women particularly, who are concerned about osteopenia or osteoporosis – that’s a staging of bone deterioration, osteopenia is the beginning. Osteoporosis and varying stages of bone deterioration, this comes with natural aging. It comes with natural hormonal imbalances.
But one of the things that we see is one of the specialized types of collagen that we have in our collagen powders – we have five different types – that collagen can help increase and support bone density and the bone remineralization, which is amazing. Who would think that a protein can actually do that?
But we need to add this in. It has to be a supplemental component.
Supplementing with a Clean Collagen Source is Key
Either we’re getting it from food and/or we’re getting it from an alternative source like our Clean Sourced Collagens, which leads me to recommend our collagen because it is cleanly sourced. It is a clean form of collagen.
It is not going to be filled with assorted chemicals and laden with assorted harmful ingredients or carcinogens or toxins that are going to pollute your body. Instead, we cleanly source it. We have a whole QC process. We have third-party vendors that check our manufacturing process and it is absolutely clean. Cleanest on the market, in my opinion.
One of the things that we know is that when you put clean things in, you can actually enhance that process of accelerating the bone density and the turnover of cells and the support of our skin tissue and our soft tissue and our internal tissue, because the body is not being burdened with these excess toxins and chemicals.
Who Should Supplement with Collagen and How?
Overall, I recommend our Clean Sourced Collagens to everybody. Especially if you are over the age of 30, it really is important that you add this into your regimen daily.
Now, there are a few different ways to get this into your body. I’ve recommended a few here… in a hot liquid beverage like a coffee or tea, a smoothie, yogurt, nut yogurt, applesauces, assorted kind of blends.
You can also cook with it. We have a wonderful recipe on the back of our collagen bags that also gives you another alternative. Do check out the ingredients there and the mixing instructions. But importantly, it is critical you at least get it once a day.
For some of my patients that are in the post-surgical category or are dealing with any type of bone or joint damage, maybe it’s from a particular autoimmune disorder or aging or after injury from several decades ago. You might want to add in a second dose.
Play around with how you can add this into your daily regimen. There’s a lot of versatility, but just know the benefits are numerous. Often collagen gets billed as a resource that just has superficial benefits. We see those starting in two weeks, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and a really healthy, youthful appearance.
The same thing happens inside. In two to four weeks, you’re going to start to see and notice and feel an amazing difference by adding Clean Sourced Collagens into your daily regimen.
Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens blend contains five types of collagen from four sources. What’s more, it’s combined with targeted nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 which specifically enhance the bioavailability and potency of collagen. Clean Sourced Collagens is formulated from the ground up to enhance and support your body’s natural ability to heal and rebuild itself from the INSIDE out.

If you sometimes suffer with sunburns or are looking for a natural way to support your skin and protect it from UVA, UVB, and the assorted UV rays and damage that occurs from being exposed to the sun and being outside in the spring, summer, and fall, today I’m going to share with you some really powerful resources that you probably didn’t even realize are in a capsule.
Turmeric 3D: Internal & Topical Applications for Skin Care
I’m excited, friends, to share with you a way that you can use herbals, both internally and topically, to help support your skin and protect it from sun damage.
There are an assortment of supplements that we have actually put together in our Turmeric 3D, our T3D, that you can use both internally and you can even open up the capsule and use it as a paste on your skin. Let me break down some of the powerful anti-inflammatory and UV-protectant benefits of these items.
Vitamin D: Prevention of Sun Damage and Reduced Skin Cancer Risk
First of all, vitamin D is a powerful resource, and you can use vitamin D both internally and topically to help both prevent sun damage and to reduce UV radiation exposure on the skin.
There’s a lot of clinical research that shows increasing and enhancing and optimizing your vitamin D levels internally can actually lower your risk of skin cancer [1], which by the way, skin cancer is one of the worst cancers and most pervasive cancers that a lot of folks are not screening and routinely assessing within and on top of their skin. It’s important that with all of these recommendations, you make sure you have a regular dermatology appointment annually to assess skin changes and cellular changes and spots that might be suspect.
Vitamin D is powerful for helping support protection of your skin and reducing the damage of the sunrays, changing the cellular makeup, and minimizing the youthfulness of your skin cells.
Curcumin: Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant to Minimize UV Damage
The other powerful herbal that I just absolutely love is turmeric, and curcumin is the active ingredient that is anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant that both minimizes UV sun damage. There’s a lot of protectant properties that turmeric provides when you take it internally.
Reduce Effects of Sunburn with Topical Application
But also if you have a sunburn, topical application of turmeric will reduce the inflammation, the swelling, and even the redness of the sunburn and actually help support turnover of your cells so that you get over the sunburn and might even prevent peeling.
Ginger: Increase Skin Elasticity & Reduce Wrinkles
Now, another powerful herbal is ginger, and studies show, ginger particularly at 12 weeks, if you take ginger internally and apply it topically, it will help reduce wrinkling and increase the skin elasticity. [2]
How to Use Turmeric 3D for After-Sun Care & Damage Prevention
Overall, these particular items you’re going to find here in our T3D. I’m going to share with you, we have 5,000 IUs of vitamin D3 in T3D.
You take two capsules in the morning. When you do a paste, you can use one or two capsules, depending on the space or the quantity of skin that we need to address. A lot of times people will be using it on their face, their neck, their chest, their hands, and the arm. Sometimes two to four capsules might be what you want to use for your paste.
And then we also have a combination of turmeric, ashwagandha, and ginger, and that equals about 1,000 milligrams. Turmeric, being a fermented form of turmeric, and we also have a scenario where not only can you intake these for anti-inflammatory and UV protection, but you also can apply it topically.
I always recommend using a combination of either… you use the paste. How you make it, you open up your capsules and either combine it with like a Greek yogurt, or if you want a little oil kind of blend, you can add a little coconut oil and add that into the paste. It’s going to be kind of slightly runny, but not overly runny. You want it to be liquidy, and then you just smear it on. I have one of those painted brushes, like skin face brushes. You can paint that on the area that’s inflamed, red, sunburnt, or UV-damaged.
I’m really excited to share with you this resource because I bet you probably didn’t think the Turmeric 3D is a resource for you, not just internally, but also topically to support your skin. I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any specific skin health questions and I’ll be sure to answer them in the Ask the Doctor series.
Turmeric 3D from Organixx provides you one of the most “bioavailable” forms of turmeric due to its unique fermentation process. This means your body experiences the maximum benefits of the purest, most potent turmeric available!

Our next Ask the Doctor question is, “Dr. Melissa did not address the waking up to urinate,” related to another piece of content about sleeping and prostate health. “I am 70 years old and get up every night to use the bathroom.” So, thank you for asking this wonderful question.
Organs and Glands are Hyper Alert
What I want to talk about specifically at the age of 70 and sleep imbalances, particularly when we’re waking up to urinate, there are several things happening from a physiological perspective, meaning certain kind of mechanisms and organs and glands are functioning a little bit more… I’m not going to say effectively, but they’re more alert at night than we need them to be. For instance, you should not be getting up multiple times at night to urinate. If that’s occurring, there’s several things happening.
Why the Liver May Not Be Able to Rest During Sleep
The first thing that’s happening is the liver is not in a resting state. There’s a period of time between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM that the liver and other digestive processes go through a hibernative state. When that’s not occurring, it’s telling me there’s a lot of things going on.
The first thing that’s very common is for folks to have elevations in cortisol. A stress hormone that’s produced by the adrenals is called cortisol. Cortisol will spike at night, and that tends to be the main driver behind waking up at night and urinating. So, especially the need to urinate is what causes you to wake up. Sometimes people even have dreams like they’re urinating in their sleep, and that’s a body signal to wake up and urinate.
Inflammation Can Cause Cortisol Spikes
Now, if that’s happening, it’s telling us a lot of things are going on. There’s usually inflammation in the lower pelvic floor that might be related to bladder inflammation, as well as prostate inflammation for gentlemen.
For women that might be waking up in the middle of the night, it might be hormonally driven. It also might be related to inflammation in and around the bladder with interstitial cystitis, a particular type of inflammatory bladder condition that affects a lot of women.
For men that are waking up, especially in the age of 70s, so our 70 decade, it’s very common that the prostate gland is inflamed and is what is triggering the cortisol spike, and also triggering the need to urinate.
Deeper Details Help Determine More Specific Causes
So, I always ask follow-up questions. Specifically, when you get up and urinate, are you urinating fully? Do you feel like you’re emptying your bladder optimally? Do you feel like the flow is an optimal flow or is it a trickle? So, is it a fire hose, a stream, or a trickle? Those are going to tell us more about that potential source that’s causing you to wake up.
If you’re in the last 15 to 20 seconds of the urination and you’re getting a little bit of what we call inflammation or pain or irritation, it’s almost like a little burning sensation as the bladder is emptying, that is an indication that there’s pressure as the bladder’s emptying. There’s a little pressure and you’re feeling prostate inflammation. So, the prostate gland becomes a really important aspect of healing that’s required if we’re looking at frequent wake-ups to urinate at night.
Learn More About Prostate Health
I actually have a very specific prostate masterclass for gentlemen of all ages. I have some of my gentlemen in their early 40s that are dealing with prostate imbalance, elevations of PSA, benign prostatitis, all sorts of things, fungal infections to really intense lesions on the prostate. Sizes of the prostate that are causing the urethra to be constricted and limiting flow, all of those degrees of imbalance.
We need to zero in on inflammation factors, we need to look at nutritional imbalances, and then we need to zero in on cortisol, the stress hormone. A unique process in the male body where cortisol triggers a particular enzyme reaction, where the male body takes testosterone and converts it into estrogen, which tends to be the major root cause behind prostate inflammation.
So, if that’s something that’s occurring – so I don’t feel like I have all the information really answered this question fully and why I wanted to ask a few questions – but if you feel like that’s something that’s occurring, I’d recommend checking out my masterclass. It’s 60 minutes. You can take that and really, it’s a deep dive into addressing assorted root causes and imbalances of the prostate gland. But also, it’s something you want to address inflammation, you want to address the process flow of the bladder emptying, and you also want to address hormonal imbalances like elevations in cortisol and even elevations in estrogen.
Assess Dysfunctions in Organs, Glands, and Hormones
I hope that’s helpful. That probably isn’t necessarily the answer you wanted when it comes to sleeping. But as a naturopath, what I do is I go into a deep assessment of the root cause of imbalance. And so, if somebody’s waking up at night to urinate, I start to assess what organs and glands and hormonal dysfunctions are present that would cause that.
So, there’s often multiple things happening all at the same time that’s making it a more severe and challenging situation for you. So, I hope that’s helpful. Let us know if you need any additional resources or have any other questions specific to your condition. Thanks for asking the doctor.
Joint & Muscle Care is a revolutionary supplement that takes three of the strongest inflammation support agents in nature (frankincense, myrrh, and turmeric), and combines them in the same perfect union treasured by the ancients. Available in capsule form or as an essential oil blend called Magi-Complexx.

Today, I want to share with you several unhealthy brain influences that you actually have more control over than you might realize in the overall state of your mental health and the health of your brain and its functionality. So, I’m super excited to share with you these items.
1. Not Getting Enough Sleep
Number one, and most important for your brain is sleep. So, if you are dealing with irregular sleep patterns, insomnia, maybe you’re a shift worker, and so you’re not sleeping at the kind of normal time of sleeping, and you’re getting less than seven and less than eight hours of sleep each night – that solid, continuous, good, deep sleep – then that influence of irregular, imbalanced sleep has a deep, deep negative effect on the state of your brain health. And in fact, about five or six years ago, researchers identified that when we sleep, and we sleep solidly throughout the night, that actually triggers and engages the lymphatic process of your brain.
And we call that lymphatic process the glymphatic process. And your glymphatic process is the only time your brain is detoxing and cleaning out cells that are no longer serving it. It’s getting rid of inflammation, and it’s processing out that toxicity.
So, think of the glymphatic system as the nighttime cleaners in an office. So, when we work at normal offices and we go home during the day, there’s usually a shift that comes in and cleans and gets everything ready so it’s nice and clean. All of the waste baskets are cleaned, and you’re ready to have a clean work environment the next morning. The brain does that.
And so, by sleeping optimally and starting your sleep process around 9:00 and 10:00 PM, that helps trigger melatonin production, and it helps trigger other sleep-related biochemistry that helps to enhance the glymphatic process. So, that’s really, really important. And that’s number one. If you’re not sleeping well, that’s the first sign of an unhealthy brain state.
2. Too Much Stress
The second item that tends to be a negative influence in the state of your brain health is stress, especially chronic stress. Acute stress and chronic stress, these collectively are detrimental to your brain health.
Stress, especially cortisol, the stress hormone, is an inflammatory hormone. It causes brain-oriented inflammation. It also changes our biochemistry and our neurotransmitters. Those are neuroendocrine hormones that it’s all happening up here in the brain and sending signals and communication down to organs and glands and soft tissue. And stress can cause brain imbalances.
And just think about your own life. If you’ve had a stressful event over a course of weeks or even a few years, that can influence your mood. It can influence your reproductive hormones. It can influence your digestive process. So, stress is very much at play when we’re looking at unhealthy influences on our brain health.
3. Unhealthy Diet Lacking in Key Nutrients & Proper Hydration
Now, the third, most obvious is going to be what you’re consuming. What are you eating, your diet? This includes your liquid diet, so, making sure you’re staying well hydrated, avoiding caffeine, and avoiding alcohol, and things that are dehydrating. And also consuming healthy fats and omegas, and eating a rainbow of micronutrients.
And making sure that that diet also includes functional mushrooms. Lion’s mane is one of my favorites for the brain. Also, cordyceps is very powerful for the brain, as is reishi and shiitake.
These mushrooms we actually encapsulate here in our 7 Mushrooms. If you’re like, “Can’t stomach the mushrooms,” I get it, or cannot find them in your supermarkets, you can use 7 Mushrooms and encapsulate those mushrooms. But adding mushrooms to your diet is also going to be critical. Mushrooms like chaga is also an anti-inflammatory and it’s an adaptogen.
So, there’s a lot of power in supporting your brain via your diet, and that’s really important, too. Making sure you’re getting good, healthy multi-minerals. Eating nuts and seeds are going to deliver really key nutrients like magnesium and selenium and chromium – all powerful for helping balance blood sugar, which supports our brain health.
4. Not Getting the Right Exercise
Now, fourth on my list here is to exercise. That’s really important for functional brain health and improving circulation and blood flow and triggering that glymphatic process at night. But importantly, the type of exercise that you’re partaking has a powerful influence.
Exercises that combine balancing activities are going to be the most ideal, as well as rebounding. I love rebounding. It’s great for your lymphatic process, which in turn helps enhance that glymphatic flow. But making sure you’re doing things that are balancing – so, lifting weights on one foot versus two adds another element of muscle control, but also invigorates the brain.
So, if you are not exercising in a way that is kind of pushing the envelope and you’re doing balancing exercises on top of that – yoga and Pilates are great for that, as are stable exercises where you’re working on one foot and then alternating. Even doing pushups with one hand or alternating. Those are all great for enhancing your brain function. So, if you’re not doing that, that’s an unhealthy influence.
5. Exposure to Toxins
Now, the other element that many folks are aware of, but sometimes aren’t tuned in to in terms of just how pervasive these are, but an unhealthy brain influence are toxins in our everyday environment. These toxins range from perfumes to heavy metals that affect our brain and our nervous system. Pesticides. These are things that we’re using in our homes, we’re using them outside of our homes. We might be consuming them in the foods, the healthy diet, even organic foods tend to be dense in pesticides, depending on the type of plant and its exposure.
As well as our air pollution. Depending on where you live, I happen to live in a city, a metroplex that is on the higher side of poor air quality. So, we can have harmful chemicals that we’re breathing in our air, at our home, in our work environment, outside.
And then also in this category are going to be illegal drugs and alcohol and even certain medications. Pharmaceutical medications are going to fall into this category, because some of them will negatively impact our brain function by way of some of the particular synapses and blocking things that they do in our brain. So that’s really, really important.
6. Continuing Unhealthy Habits That Overwhelm the Brain
And then the last and final is to really avoid unhealthy habits like excessive caffeine consumption, excessive alcohol consumption, and excessive smoking or drug use. So, just be cognizant that if you’re having a glass of wine here or there, that’s not as overwhelming as say, a full bottle of wine or a half bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer.
These influences, especially smoking, they not only bring in overwhelming chemicals, but they can dehydrate the brain and overwhelm the brain in toxic chemicals that we have to make sure the brain is detoxing out.
And I also pull in this category, the diet-related products. This is something that a lot of folks, especially folks going keto, we are seeing alternative sugar sources overwhelming the brain. Particularly, the hypothalamus has a really, really hard time processing out aspartame. So, the Diet Cokes, diet sodas, sugar-free products – read your labels, be very cognizant of what you’re putting in your body, and it has a direct influence, sometimes negatively, on your brain health.
So, I hope these tips are helpful. Just really want to encourage you to be mindful of taking care of your brain, and it will take care of you for the extent of your entire life.

Today, I’m really excited to share with you five different things you can do every single day to support and protect your brain health. This is great for individuals of all ages and, if you have a family history like I have of Alzheimer’s and dementia, these are really critical in lowering your risk factors in developing those degenerative diseases.
1. Play Brain Games
Number one of the most impactful and important things you can do every day, is to mentally invigorate your brain. This classification would be things like mental games and applications like phone apps, where you can download… MindPal is one of my favorite apps…. where you play brain games. This is how we can use technology to help support that.
But also things like Sudoku and games like chess and other games that are going to use your mind, you want to constantly be activating your memory, problem-solving skills. Mental games are great for that, and the apps have a lot of scientific data. They queue up a lot of different brain games to help support, invigorate the brain centers so that you’re constantly rejuvenating and sending circulation and energy and focus to those different parts of the brain.
2. Practice Self-Care
Number two in protecting your brain is practicing self-care, meaning employing tactics that help you sleep better, that lower your stress levels, and encourage things that will calm your body and calm your central nervous system.
Sleep and exercise and stress management like massage, yoga, tai chi, getting out walking, being in nature, grounding – those are all good practices of self-care. I even put in “self-care” good-quality nutrition in this category. Just loving and nourishing your body and nourishing your brain with all the different choices you make on a daily basis.
3. Supplement with Nootropics
Number three, I love to add brain-oriented supplements and nutrition, brain-based nootropics. We have our Brain Health 8, which is a nootropic blend of assorted herbals and medicinal herbs that help enhance and invigorate brain health. Similarly, adding things like 7 Mushrooms and functional mushrooms encourages the enhancement and the connection of new neurotransmitters and synapses and neuro pathways in your brain.
4. Do Balancing Exercises
Fourth in this category is actually something that most people aren’t tuned into, but we know from recovery, from traumatic brain injuries of folks who’ve had accidents or injuries to the brain, one of the most impactful things that you can do to enhance your brain function and protect your brain is to deploy exercises and activities where you are forcing your body to balance.
Simply getting a balance board or a wobble cushion and doing something as simple as standing on and trying to level yourself or taking one foot and keeping that level and raising another foot, trying to balance.
There was actually a whole viral, I think it went viral in the last year on Instagram and TikTok, where one of the best functions of balance and is an indication of how healthy your brain is, functionality-wise, is to balance on one foot while putting a sock and shoe on the other foot and maintaining your balance. That seems like a simple task, but when you try it and you might be out of balance, as you fine-tune and use those different muscles along your spine, you’re also invigorating the process of your brain. You’re actually helping connect different parts of the brain or reconnect. Balance is really important.
5. Use Your Less Dominant Hand or Foot to Create New Pathways
In that same vein, my fifth resource that we can use every day to protect your brain and enhance your brain function is to take everyday tasks and use a different hand. If you’re right side, I’m right side dominant, so I’m righthanded, I do a lot of things with my right hand.
Even when I run, I start with my right foot. Well, if you change that up and you either feed yourself with your non-dominant hand, with your left hand, or you try writing with your left hand, or you try kicking the ball with your left foot first versus your right, or start running with the left foot first, not the right. If you switch that just simple activity up, that creates this new pathway and creates and develops new neurons. That’s this whole kind of interesting process of enhancing and engaging the brain.
Just like our muscle groups – we have to break muscle and we rebuild – the brain is the same way. But if we change our tasks, it kind of forces the brain to get outside of the normal routine and that is where we see greater brain enhancement when we have scans of the brain. When an individual goes from regular right-handed to writing with their left, it invigorates other parts of the brain.
This is a really powerful way to protect your brain and to enhance and encourage new tasks in your life. Same thing with learning a new language. That’s a really good thing also to invigorate your brain health.
Ready to Dive Deeper?
These are things that are great for enhancing your brain health, supporting and protecting your brain. I also have, if you’re really wanting to deep dive and kind of biohacking resources for your brain, I have created a masterclass. It’s called Biohack Your Brain, and we go deep-diving into using nootropics, dig into supplements like our Brain Health 8 and also 7 Mushrooms, and how to create new connections, how to invigorate new neuron growth and new neuron pathways, so that you live your healthiest, longest brain-healthy life, which is really critical. That’s a huge part of our function, not just in our mental health and emotional health, but also in the way the body functions and how it processes.
I hope these tips are helpful. I’m going to encourage you to Ask the Doctor, send me any questions that you have, and I will be answering specific brain health questions in future Ask The Doctor answers. Thanks for tuning in. I hope this is helpful.
Brain Health 8 and 7 Mushrooms from Organixx: When you combine these two powerful supplements together, you get a synergistic effect that gives your brain the nutrients needed to support optimum memory, focus, and clarity.
Video Transcript:
Today, I want to talk to you about an amazing supplement blend that will help support and enhance your brain health.
With the month of June here, our core health focus is enhancing your brain health to minimize the risks associated with developing Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is what we call diabetes type 3, because it affects the vascular function of your brain. And today, I want to share with you a combination of supplements we’ve put together in our Brain Health 8 supplement. This blends in some powerful products like camu camu and cat’s claw and bacopa, and also cinnamon, which is really good for balancing blood sugar in the brain, Pau d’arco, as well as dragon’s blood resin, and even some other supplements and even some other herbals.
An Alarming Trend in Brain Health
So, let me break down how you can use our Brain Health 8 to help prevent Alzheimer’s. And one of the things that I see in my own clinical practice, I have several patients that have early stages and early diagnoses of Alzheimer’s in their early 50s. This is quite shocking, and we are seeing this, as an industry, we’re seeing more and more individuals presenting with changes in their brain state and the function of their brains.
I want to share with you one of the things that I really love about our Brain Health 8, and it’s the fact that we have bacopa as a core product or core nutrient. There is actually some amazing research, multiple pieces of research, that shows that bacopa can be highly effective at taming, preventing, even in some cases, reversing the neurodegeneration [1] of the brain that ends up causing cognitive decline, and that’s what we call Alzheimer’s.
Memory loss is a big factor here, as well as the language and problem-solving centers of the brain. Bacopa, in a 12-week study [2], shows significant improvements in memory and attention and focus. And another study actually showed that not only does it help the mental focus and mental acuity, it also targets the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Those also partner up with many cases of Alzheimer’s, because as the brain starts to change in terms of its functionality, the blood flow, and the centers that are alert and active, it can change a person’s personality, their mood, and also their capacity to live their everyday life as how we know them and how they recognize us.
Alzheimer’s: A Family History
And I have a personal history in my family. My maternal grandmother had Alzheimer’s, and she used to escape the house, and she was really very different as I knew her as a grandmother than what my mom and my half-uncles experienced her growing up and being herself.
So, to prevent that not just in your life, but in also the lives of some of your loved ones, maybe you’re caregiving for a parent or have an elder aunt or uncle, or you yourself have some sort of family history, or even if you’re dealing with a situation where you have pre-diabetes or are a diabetic, preventatively adding bacopa, as well as all of the other benefits like cat’s claw and camu camu, we have pulled together a lot of anti-inflammatories, a lot of nootropic products.
Nootropics for Preventive Brain Support
Nootropic means that these supplements are actually able to get into the brain and help minimize the inflammation of the brain and prevent cognitive decline. So, I’m really excited to present our Brain Health 8 to you as a great resource in your prevention plan, and even possibly a treatment plan for Alzheimer’s, either in a loved one, a family member, or even yourself.
So, I’m excited to share that with you today. And definitely, I think one of the things that we need to do is bring greater awareness to Alzheimer’s, the fact that it is a neurodegenerative disease that is linked to our blood sugar levels.
And so, most importantly, food is medicine. You want to be choosing low sugar and more adaptive lifestyles to insulin and increasing your capacity to be more adaptive and functional with your insulin and glucose levels. So, less insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, low-carb lifestyles, low-sugar lifestyles can actually be also preventative. So, pairing food and Brain Health 8 are going to be great for combating Alzheimer’s.
