#just thrive

Over the years I've had many people ask me what they should be taking to maintain basic health. These people aren't sick or in any pain. They just want to help ward off illness, boost energy, and maybe discourage wear and tear on their bodies.

For these folks I give them my CORE 4. These are the 4 basic supplements that I personally take each day for good health maintenance. There is no one pill to fix all your problems, make you skinny, or cure your disease. For those things you need to schedule a time to talk with Derek. These CORE 4 are there to supplement your healthy habits and lifestyle.

Here are my CORE 4:

1. Bio Strath - The Original Fermented Whole Food Multi

Bio Strath whole food supplement is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae herb complex providing a full spectrum of naturally occuring:

B Vitamins including B1, B2, B3, and B12

Minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium

Amino Acids, including Branch Chain Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine

Vitamin C and Beta Glucans

These vital nutrients are highly bio-available in a whole food form. Bio-Strath has been scientifically studied since 1961!

Supports a Healthy Immune System

Supports Healthy Mental Activities

Supports Athletic Performance

Supports Overall Well Being for All Ages

Supports Vitality

Reduces Fatigue Caused by Daily Stress

Bio-strath is not made from a real 'live' yeast and so Candida Albicans has been shown to be unable to survive in the presence of Bio-Strath.

2. Just Thrive Probiotics - This is NOTHING like any probiotic you've tried before.

Just Thrive® – a 100% spore-based probiotic – has been carefully formulated with highly effective, safe and verified strains that have been licensed from Royal Holloway London University. Most probiotic products on the market have focused on adding more strains and higher cell counts to help boost their marketing message, yet there is no scientific evidence that having dozens of strains at very high cell counts have any benefit at all. It is far more effective to have 2-4 verified, tested, high quality strains than to have a random mix of 15-20 different strains that have not been tested. A number of published studies have shown that many of these formulations with a dozen or more strains are often mislabeled where the wrong strains are shown on the label and strains that don’t appear on the label are in the product. They create these formulations where companies simply throw in everything to make the formulation look robust. If you look at any high quality, prescription probiotic, you won’t find one with more than 2-3 strains as it’s simply not necessary and, in fact, having a dozen strains can actually hinder the effectiveness of a probiotic product.

3. MycoBotanicals Brain - Sharpen your mind with this blend of Mushrooms & Herbs

Host Defense® MycoBotanicals® Brain is a blend of mushrooms and herbs. We use activated, optimally dried, Certified Organic mushroom mycelium, with a full spectrum of constituents which are essential for Supporting Natural Immunity.* By including certified organic herbs that have been carefully selected to complement the health benefits of mushrooms, this marriage provides the best of both worlds. Like the dance of the sun and the moon, two kingdoms are paired together to provide the best possible Functional Food formula to Support Mental Clarity!

Supports concentration, memory and cognitive functioning

Ginkgo, Bacopa and Gotu Kola support brain health

Lion's Mane and Reishi mushrooms support neurological and adrenal functioning

4. Wheat Germ Oil - Plant Based Essential Fatty Acids plus so much more

Instead of taking fish oil, Try Wheat Germ Oil. This oil is sustainable, more bio-available, and cheaper. Plus you don't have the "Fishy Burps". This form of Omega 3's is comparable to that of Krill Oil but has naturally occurring Lecithin which further helps the Wheat Germ Oil's uptake into each cell of the body.

VIOBIN® Wheat germ oil is made from only the freshest North American wheat germ, by our exclusive cold process method that extracts and preserves more of the natural nutrients, flavor and aroma. Wheat germ oil is the richest naturally occurring source of Vitamin E and also supplies an abundance of nutrients including Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, Zinc, phosphatides, phytosterols, and octacosanol.

So for a mere $142.96 + shipping you can restore vitality, feel more youthful, and even think more clearly.

However, if you sign up for a monthly delivery of each of these supplements, I'll drop the price to a generous $99.99 per month plus FREE SHIPPING. This is a SAVINGS of OVER $50!

DIY Digestive Health

TOP 3 things to do for better Digestive Health

Happy Summer Everyone! If your summer has been anything like mine, you've been enjoying lots of sunshine, fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden, and a gallon of distilled water each day. No? Well now is the perfect time to begin the switch.

Much of the backyard barbeque foods many of us love are not so quick to love us back. Corn chips, burgers, brats, and mom's famous mac 'n' cheese all leave their lasting impact on our gut. Even that salad or veggie tray your friend brought may not be as healthy as you'd hoped. The GMOs, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and residual chemicals from packaging all degrade the nutritional value of your meal.

Just look at the fruits and veggies you have been eating. Are they organic or better yet local and chemical free? If not there is a good chance they have traces of pesticides still on them and in them. Washing them off under the chemical laden tap water doesn't do much to help. Actually, if they are from your garden or a local farmers market, it might be better to not wash them at all (assuming you trust the farmer doesn't use chemicals). The skin of many fruits and veggies (much like our skin) have probiotics on them. These probiotics excrete B12 and other essential nutrients for human health. A little dirt won't hurt you, but it might actually help you.

For all those inorganic veggies that you thought were still a healthy option, think again. Many of our foods are sprayed with what is called a BT pesticide. BT pesticides destroy the communication between our individual cells in the intestinal walls. When this happens gaps form between these cells allowing for toxins meant for excretion back into the blood stream. This is known as "leaky gut syndrome". This is why it is so very important to eat local chemical free or organically grown foods.

There are 3 things I suggest everyone use to rebuild their gut. Used in combination for an extended amount of time these are sure to improve your overall health.

#1 - Restore4Life - This helps to reconnect the communication network between these damaged cells, so they can direct toxins out of the body. Take this consistently for best results. I didn't notice how much better I felt till about 3 months. Now I have a bigger "buffer zone" for foods and bounce back faster from things I shouldn't be eating. Learn more about Restore4Life here.

#2 - Just Thrive Probiotics - If restore4life is improving the "soil" in your "garden", then Just Thrive Probiotics would be the "gardener". This unique product helps to repair the probiotics ("plants") that are already there and create necessary antioxidants to keep the environment healthy for new species to grow and thrive. Learn more about Just Thrive Probiotics here.

#3 - Fermented Foods - Each serving of these are trillions (forget billions in your capsules) of probiotics. On top of that they are rich in prebiotics. These foods include kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, curtido, miso, and kombucha. Make sure you are buying these items from the refrigerated section and not the store shelf. Having a good variety of these in your daily diet will greatly aid your overall wellbeing.

Once you have these 3 things in your daily lifestyle, all you have to do is maintain a good diet and drink plenty of distilled or reverse osmosis water. I have had digestive distress for most of my life. After 3 months of following this program, I noticed that when I did eat something that should give me severe heartburn or make me sick, I had little to no bad reaction. This doesn't mean I throw my clean living to the wind. It just allows me to be a more sociable person.

This program merely gave me a bigger buffer for what I can eat or drink and get away with. Don't you want that for you and your family?

Natural Products Expo West is absolutely one of the big highlights of each year for me. "Expo West", as it's called in the industry, is now up to around 120,000 people and is the largest event at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA each year. This event brings together the best and the brightest of the natural products industry to share new research, new products, and new ideas for the future of healthy living.

One vendor I had to do a interview with was Just Thrive Probiotics. They have made a big difference in my health, my family's health, and my client's health. I use their product as part of a 3 part "silver bullet" for difficult digestive problems.

Just Thrive Probiotics isn't like anything you've tried before. It literally should be in it's own category of supplements. In the popular garden analogy for digestive health, your intestinal wall is the soil, the probiotics are your plants, and yeast would be the weeds. Seems difficult to maintain a garden without a gardener, right? In steps Just Thrive Probiotics to nourish your garden back to thriving health.

Listen to Tina, owner of Just Thrive Probiotics, rave about her ground breaking product.

Transcript:

Hi, my name is Tina Anderson. I'm the CEO and co-founder of Just Thrive Probiotic, and I'm here to tell you about the exciting new category of probiotics. So, Just Thrive Probiotic is spore-forming bacteria. So the majority of probiotics that most people are familiar with are lactobacillus bifidobacter-based products. This is not a lacto bifido-based product, this is a 100% spore forming probiotic, and there's a really, really important factor in that. Spore-forming bacteria are basically the calls for reform because they create an endospore around themselves. The endospore, and it's natural, there is no enteric coating or anything like that. This is the way nature intended us to condition and take care of our gut. So the endospore basically is an armor-like shell around itself, and when it has that armor-like shell around itself, it is in its dormant state. So when it's in the capsule, it's in its dormant state, when you swallow it, it's in this dormant state, and that is what allows it to get through the gastric system alive. It's not until it hits the intestine that it goes into its live vegetative cell state. This is really, really important because the first part of the definition of a probiotic is that it survives. It's a very important part of the definition, and these actually survive naturally, 100%, they get into the intestines alive. When they get to the intestines, they do something really, really cool. They actually have the ability to read the microbial environment. So if they sense a pathogenic organism, they actually have the capability of creating antibiotics. So we've identified up to 25 antibiotics, these are not broad-spectrum antibiotics. These are naturally existing antibiotics that actually help kill off pathogens in your gut. On the flip side, they create compounds and nutrients to actually feed them, you know, good organisms in our gut. So the best way I love to use the Garden Analogy for this because if you envision a garden that's been stepped on and trampled on and there's weeds growing all over the place, these strains, you throw the seeds and they get there 100% percent alive, they don't just pass through, like many of the other lacto bifido strains. They actually attach to the soil. These strains have a 21-day lifecycle in the gut. So they are transient, but they're there for 21 days doing a lot of work. And then, they have the capability of getting rid of the weeds in the garden and then they have the capability of bringing those plants that have been stepped down and trampled on back to life. So it's such an effective approach to gut health. It's not just creating some symptomatic relief, it's actually getting to the root of the problem, you know, we always like say it is, it's like a gardener of your gut, it actually is, taking care of the garden on a daily basis. You can't leave your garden alone without taking care of it and so it's the same type of approach. It's a very, very effective approach, we had a lot of studies behind it. We have a gut model study that shows that these strains cause a 30% favorable shift in the gut. That's very, very powerful because like I said it's creating, you know, it's fixing the imbalance going on which imbalance in the gut is really the root cause of all these diseases that people are having. It also creates, this is a really benefit of the product is it creates antioxidants.

So one of the strains in the product bacillus indicates actually once it gets to the intestines, it starts to produce RDA levels of carotenoids, so alpha and beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, all these carotenoids are being produced right where they need to be absorbed, so very bioavailable. So not only do you have this really, really super potent probiotic, but now you've got these bioavailable antioxidants all in one. So you know, we're shelf stable and so you know we always laugh because we have people who say, "Oh but I need it to be refrigerated," you know, that means it's a high quality probiotic and so I would say that's one of the biggest myths in the industry. You know, the reason a probiotic needs to be refrigerated is because it's so sensitive that it cannot withstand the room temperature of the store shelf. So if it can't withstand the room temperature of the store shelf, then I wonder how is going to survive 98.6 in your body. You know, the answer is, it doesn't, and it really has a way of a lot of difficulty surviving the body, so the refrigeration is a myth. The other big myth is out there is like more is better. You know, "Oh this one has 50 billion or you need to take what at least with 20 billion," "Oh there's one, it has got 100 billion CFUs." There is no science that we are aware of that shows more is better. What is important is the quality of the strain. That gut model study that I was telling you about earlier, we only used 1 billion CFUs in that study. One billion CFUs caused a 30% favorable shift in the gut. It is not the quantity, it's the quality and what does 1 billion do and 1 billion of ours actually caused a 30% favorable shift. So it's a really, really effective approach to gut health. One of the most important things is we just completed the first, as far as we know, human clinical trial, double-blind, placebo, University, human clinical trial on leaky gut. This is real, really game-changing in the industry that we have a human clinical trial on this. The study is going to be published in the next couple of months, and it's going to be game changing the whole industry, really that we've have a probiotic with a leaky gut study. A leaky gut is responsible for so many, and I think there is a study out there saying 90% of noncommunicable diseases are, you know, as a result of leaky gut from heart disease to diabetes to Alzheimer's, all these things are on top of all the autoimmune issues that are out there, so this is really, really exciting. And so much so that we caught the attention of a group of HIV activists out of Rochester, New York, and I met last month with a group of the leading HIV doctors in Seattle. They were the leading HIV doctors in the world, but they were all meeting in Seattle, and they were writing up a protocol to put it in a National Institute of Health study, and so it's very, very exciting, we're so excited to be here at Expo West and to be telling you about our game changing product. And I always say give it to your toughest, you know, loved ones someone who has had the digestive issues or you know it's really you'll see what we're talking about. This is, we get the comment all the time, this is not like any other probiotic I've ever tried, and that's because it's not. It's a completely different approach, it's an effective approach and we hope you'll come on board. Thank you.
