As pets occupy increasingly important roles in our family lives, people are investing more than ever in maintaining their health. The veterinarian has become the furry child’s pediatrician. Also, pet parents look for the same wholesome nutrition in the pet food aisle as in the grocery aisle. They are also starting to add healthy supplements to the food bowl. Much as they do for parents and children, animal-specific supplements help enhance pet health, quality of life, and longevity.

Among those healthy supplements pet parents give their four-legged family members, mushrooms are now the fastest-growing category. As a result, pet parents are seeing great results in their pets’ health when they share their healthy meals and healthy supplements with them.

Are you looking to add healthy mushrooms to improve your pet’s health? Are you confused by all the different types of mushrooms and mushroom products available? In this episode, we outline the basics of mushroom supplements, which ones to consider first, for what purpose, and ideally in what format.

12-hour fasting windows; and losing just a little bit of weight can have big
impacts on your health. Eat to Beat Your Diet shows readers how adding

As we get older, we gradually make less and less DHEA after age 25. Interestingly, as we get older we gradually make more and more DHEA. So as we get older we make more and more cortisol; and less and less DHEA. DHEA is what helps counterbalances cortisol in the body.

Ideally, cortisol is only released into the system occasionally, as a protective response, rather than on a chronic basis. But in today's busy world, most people deal with ongoing stresses every day, for years at a time. If cortisol levels are too high for too long, they may have undesirable side effects including feeling tired, bloated… loss of bone density, muscle wasting, thinning of skin, fluid retention, weight gain, increased vulnerability to bacteria, viruses, and cancer.

When cortisol is up, your DHEA levels are down….and vice versa The two hormones have an inverse relationship in the body. DHEA counterbalances the harmful inflammatory effects of cortisol. The ideal ratio of DHEA to cortisol is 10 to 1. But for most people over 45, they have far too much cortisol and not enough DHEA.

Do you lack energy, feel washed out and or tired? Or maybe you have been experiencing age related challenges? There is a large chance diminishing levels of DHEA may be the cause.

Joining us today is 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 nearly 2 decades of his life studying the medical research about it, and starting a company to research, develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement that can be made and distributing it.

In 2007 Mr. Woodward started Health2Go, Inc. to research and develop leading edge anti-aging and wellness products and bring them to people conveniently and cost effectively.

Your body naturally creates uric acid as a by-product when it breaks down “cellular debris" (a normal part of your body’s internal life cycle), and certain compounds in your food called purines. It does that with an enzyme called xanthine oxidase that converts purines into uric acid. Many common favorites – like burgers, beers, and candy – contain lots of purines. And the more your body works to digest the foods, the more uric acid it produces.

If your body makes too much of it or your kidneys can’t clear it out fast enough, uric acid can build up. When that happens, the excess uric acid can accumulate and form shockingly painful crystals that can settle in your joints – a condition called gout – or build up in your kidneys.

When your uric acid levels are high, you may not realize it… but that doesn’t mean it isn’t causing problems. And when you can feel it, it will really hurt.

Your big toe might throb with unbearable pain, so bad you can barely stand. Your joints may be red, stiff, swollen, and feel like they’re on fire.

And when uric acid reaches even higher levels, it can take a toll on your kidneys, even leading to excruciating kidney stones or chronic kidney problems.

A whopping 21% of people have high uric acid without feeling any symptoms. But even if you’re feeling no pain, those high uric acid levels can still have a significant negative impact on your body.

Did you know that almost all forms of chronic disease are related in some way to mineral and vitamin deficiency.
In addition to that as we age, we decrease the enzymes and stomach acid needed to properly absorb many minerals
and vitamins.

According to a review published in Frontiers in Marine Science in March, seaweed contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B12, C, D, and E, which offer various health benefits and prompt antioxidant activity. Seaweed may contribute to a lower risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disorders, Blood Sugar, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative disease.

Due to its habitat, marine algae is also a great source of minerals, including potassium, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron, and zinc, all of which are required for optimal health and function. Plus, seaweed features dietary fibers and proteins, and bioactive ingredients including polysaccharides, polyphenols, phytochemicals, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

In our Opinion It is best to use a blend of them in supplements as certain sea plants contain various nutrients and phytonutrients used by the many systems of the body. Sea Veg® contains all-natural & vegan, bioavailable vitamins & minerals, from our proprietary blend of 12 Species of nutrient-rich sea plants. All gluten-free without fillers.

Americans are more stressed than ever before due to the pandemic, financial situations, medications, overconsumption of alcohol,imbalanced diet, poor gut health, and environmental toxins. As a result, many people are tired, depressed, have poor memory and focus, and have weakened immune systems.According to research, Boosting B vitamin levels quickly improves energy. A deficiency of just one B vitamin will negatively affect the complex production of energy (ATP) in your cells. While people usually think of Supplemental B12 for energy, one will typically get better results with a full spectrum B complex since many of the B’s are involved in ATP production.
