Every tissue in our bodies needs vitamin D and may be impaired if we do not get enough. In its most extreme forms, vitamin D deficiency may result in rickets in children and bone softening in adults. Milder degrees of deficiency are being studied as risk factors of a vast array of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Millions of Americans are frustrated with their urinary problems.

The Precursor hormone DHEA. What it is and what it does, and how to use it correctly.

DHEA is an anti-aging supplement. It does give an advantage. It is shown to play a role in improving libido, building muscle, and reducing risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

To help us to share the health benefits of DHEA we have Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream.

Hugh is a subject matter expert on DHEA dedicating the past 20+ years of his life to studying medical research about it, and starting a company to research, and develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement (cream) that can be made and distributed.

DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, it is a naturally occurring prohormone we all make and have. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring prohormone in the human body.

-A foundation or base building block for other smaller more specific hormones like testosterone and estrogens and about 50 other hormones that are smaller, more specific carbon chain molecules in the cascade of metabolism in the human body.

-Hormones drive our energy, mood, muscle tone, fat, quality of sleep, mental sharpness, immune system, sex drive, and more.

As a result of aging, and a gradual lowering of natural DHEA production after age 25, many of our natural body processes begin to slow down. As a result, most people start to have less energy and gain weight, have lower sex drive, and tend to start losing their mental sharpness and drive, have trouble sleeping and may start to get sick more often.

-Your work takes a very different approach to ADHD . Can you share your personal story and what led you into helping families reduce ADHD symptoms naturally?

-You often say ADHD symptoms are signals from the body, not just behaviors. What do you mean by that?

-You have a really powerful “trash can” analogy to explain ADHD symptoms and inflammation.

-Most people think ADHD starts and ends in the brain. So where does the gut come into this?

A breakthrough in inflammatory support has arrived in the natural health market. PEA, which stands for palmitoylethanolamide, is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. Several human studies have demonstrated that PEA has broad- spectrum pain-relieving properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and nerve protection.

To help us unpack all the research and studies we have Dr. Stengler joining us today.

In addition to authoring 30 books on health and several best-sellers such as “The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies,” “Prescription for Natural Cures,” “Prescription for Drug Alternatives,” and “Outside the Box Cancer Therapies,” Dr. Stengler has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals such as The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism International Journal, and Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering.

Dr. Stengler’s, NMD. The newest book is called, The Holistic Guide to Gut Health. A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.

Talking Points:

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods.

PEA was first discovered in 1957 by scientists at Merck Sharp & Dohme, who isolated it from egg yolk, peanut meal, and soy lecithin. They found that PEA had anti-inflammatory properties in guinea pigs.

However, PEA’s role as a potential therapeutic agent was not widely recognized until 1993, when Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleagues published research that suggested PEA has anti-inflammatory properties. Levi-Montalcini’s group termed PEA an autocoid local injury antagonist (ALIA), and suggested that it acts locally to counteract injury.

Multiple studies have demonstrated that PEA improves all sorts of pain. For example, a 2023 analysis of 11 studies found that PEA improved pain of various conditions, including muscle and joints, nerves, gynecological, and digestive. In terms of joint pain, a high-quality study demonstrated that PEA significantly reduced adult joint pain compared to placebo. Moreover, 8 clinical trials demonstrated that PEA was effective for low back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Even migraine headache pain was shown in published research to be improved with PEA.

Lipid mediators help to balance the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, affecting pain pathways related to inflammation. But unfortunately, due to changing diets, many of us do not get the nutrition and activity we need to make enough PEA ourselves.

Supplemental PEA, by Levagen+ is properly formulated for optimal bioavailability, 75% more bioavailable to cell receptors than dietary forms. Levagen+ liposomal delivery of PEA has been clinically studied and shows benefits in joint pain, nerve pain, migraine, infections, sleep, and cognitive function.
