If you’re concerned about your brain, now is the time to start improving it. Whether you are 20 or going on 80, new research shows that you can continue to improve, not just maintain, your brain health and cognition. At the same time that research is proving that our brains are neuroplastic, we are seeing a rapid increase in brain-related conditions, from cognitive decline to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and vascular dementia. We’re no longer looking at these conditions through the lens of inevitable aging. Here is another blog where I discuss enzyme solutions and new research for Alzheimer’s disease.

For years, the conversation centered mostly around amyloid plaques. But in clinical practice and in verified research, it’s becoming clear that brain health is much more interconnected. We’re looking at a web of factors that includes vascular health, inflammation, oxidative stress, and protein accumulation.

If you are searching the web for information about GLP-1 drugs, I’m sure you have found that many foods and natural substances have the same effect as this new class of injectable drugs. Of course, the injectable GLP-1 drugs are just mimicking the natural GLP hormone that your own body manufactures. There is no argument that the drugs are much more potent and faster acting than your bodies’ natural GLP-1 hormones. And this potency and speed also come at a high price of up to thousands of dollars per month. But money isn’t the only consideration and price. These medications can wreak havoc on your body and long-term health.

Metagenics is a high-quality, professional-grade supplement brand that offers unique formulas. Their research is often forward-thinking and cutting-edge. Often, Metagenics is the first to market, with other supplement companies following their lead. The SPM Active was the first supplement of its kind when Metagenics introduced it in 2017. Since then, many additional companies have followed their lead with specialized fish oil supplements. They were the first company to offer medical foods tailored to specific conditions and symptoms. They use GMP (good manufacturing practices) and 3rd party testing for their raw ingredients. Their medical advisory board has included well-known thought leaders such as Dr. Sara Gottfried, Dr. Jeffrey Bland, and Dr. Mark Houston.

In a world where our food supply is increasingly tainted with pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals, we need to consider where our food and supplements come from.

I am always advocating for a whole food diet that is rich in fresh, living, organic, and healthy foods. Our modern-day diet looks very different from that of our parents or grandparents who lived just 50-100 years ago. Think of the ways our diet looks different from that of our Paleolithic ancestors thousands of years ago. The biggest distinction I can point out is the “nose to tail” philosophy.

You may have heard about the term “nose to tail” eating at a farmer’s market or a locally focused food establishment. This philosophy is a return to the way animals were used for food before the 1800s industrialization of meat production.

During most of human history, an animal was locally raised (or hunted) and slaughtered to be eaten, preserved, or used for daily activities. All of the parts of the animal were used, not just the prime cuts. Everything, including organ meats, bones, skin, connective tissue, and fat served a purpose.

In contrast, we now shop for individual meat cuts that are from factory-farmed animals that have eaten an unnatural diet used to “fatten them up.” These animals have been given hormones, antibiotics, and have been subject to unthinkable filth and treatment. We don’t regularly consume the most nutrient-rich parts of the animals---the glands and organs.

The glands and organs of every living animal, including humans, are a rich source of concentrated nutrients. For example, beef heart contains 50-70% more iron than a standard beef steak of the same weight. This is a prime example of nutrient-dense food. Few of us consume glands and organs, and this is why you would consider a glandular supplement.

When I first began studying nutrition, because of my own health concerns, I was literally shocked by the amount of lifestyle-based diseases and symptoms we suffer from in America. Metabolic health problems are so prevalent in the United States, and most of them are due to poor diet and lifestyle.

Weight management and weight loss are central to metabolic health. The worst and most prevalent health problems in the US are all linked to being overweight. A diagnosis becomes “Metabolic Syndrome” when you are diagnosed with 3 or more of the following conditions:

Abdominal obesity
High fasting blood sugar
High blood pressure
High triglycerides
Low LDL (good cholesterol)
Let’s review each of the main diagnoses associated with metabolic syndrome.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and most racial and ethnic groups across the US, according to the CDC. Heart disease costs the United States about $230 billion or more each year. Almost 700,000 people die each year, which is about 1 person every 34 seconds. So, in the time it took you to open this blog and read this paragraph, someone died from heart disease. That is sobering news, and causes me to ask for better solutions.

Brain health supplements and medications are called “Nootropics” or memory enhancers, brain boosters, and cognitive enhancers. Whatever you happen to call them, they all aim to improve your brain health.

It’s no secret that our bodies need nutrients to stay healthy and work optimally. While ideally we would get all of these nutrients from our diet, it can be challenging to fully fuel and check all of those boxes. Not to mention that sometimes the foods available can be hard for our bodies to draw out the maximum nutrient benefits. BioPharma Scientific has created supplements that are packed with nutrients that work together and are highly absorbable. Using their advanced “Supersorb Technology®” delivery system, they’ve designed their supplements to optimize nutrient absorption so your body can use those nutrients to their maximum benefits. They hope that by providing a more convenient and effective way to get these nutrients to the body, they can, in turn, empower people worldwide to find greater health and well-being. For today’s blog, I will highlight a few of their most popular supplements so you can get an idea of what these nutrient-packed products look like.
