Groundbreaking Support for Heart Health, Part 1
August 14, 2018
Dr. Ross Pelton, pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, health educator, and Scientific Advisor for Essential Formulas, discusses glutathione production – the body’s MASTER ANTIOXIDANT. It's used by every cell in the human body. And it’s especially vital for heart health. He discusses some of the ways the Reg’Activ Cardio Wellness formula helps you produce glutathione and reduces some of the risks associated with cardiovascular disease. He also discusses recent health reports that allege “probiotics may cause brain fog”? Isn’t the opposite true—that there’s an emerging science of “psychobiotics” where it’s been demonstrated that probiotics combat depression and anxiety? At what age is it safe for kids to begin to take Dr. Ohhira’s or Reg’Activ? What new insights are we gaining about the microbiome’s remarkable role in supporting human evolutionary adaptation? Where are we headed in probiotic science? Will there be targeted probiotics designed to treat specific diseases? Are current microbiome tests accurate enough to predict which probiotics people should take? What are “post-biotics” and why are they important? Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: The Right to Natural and Sustainable Health, Part 1
August 9, 2018
This episode was originally presented in August 2016 (so you'll pardon the election reference), but the issue is even more relevant now as evidenced in my latest video, "Pricey Pee:" Supplements Under Attack, Again! Click HERE to see the video. If, as they say, “All politics are local,” then our neighborhood is about unencumbered access to supplements, clean air/water/food, and freedom of choice in healthcare.That’s what the Alliance for Natural Health stands for, and today we interview Jonathan Posey, ANH’s Legislative Director. We recap a recent ANH story pushing back on Consumer Reports’ irresponsible and misleading attack on supplements. Do supplements really need to be more stringently regulated? Are they as dangerous as CR alleges? Who’s behind the hatchet job on supplements? ANH has issued an urgent Action Alert to consumers of supplements to contact Congress to prevent FDA from enacting new onerous regulations; Should they be implemented, many supplements we rely on could disappear from the marketplace; Jonathan Posey details the full scope of ANH’s mission on behalf of the natural community—GMO labeling, vaccine choice, and defending practitioners of integrative medicine from unwarranted attacks.
