Exactly How To Support The 7 Key Areas Of Your Body For Thriving Health

4. Gut

As Hippocrates said “All disease begins in the gut.” The trillions of microbes and colonies located in your microbiome are the manufacturers and managers of how you look, feel, and think. It makes up 70-80% of your immune system and produces a large amount of your “happy” neurotransmitter serotonin. (1)

When your microbiome is healthy your health is likely to be quite good. However, many lifestyle behaviors, toxic exposures, and dietary choices can compromise gut health and lead to many downstream health issues from depression to autoimmune conditions.

What can help:

The Probiotic: The first step in restoring your gut health is making sure your microbiome contains more beneficial bacteria instead of problematic bacterial strains. With 100 billion CFUs per capsule, The Probiotic contains four strains of beneficial bacteria, including the extensively studied HN019 strain of Bifidobacterium lactis. This can be extremely helpful when you first start your gut healing journey since it is a simple way to make a big difference. 

5. Inflammation

Inflammation is an important bodily process that, when triggered by factors like an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and toxic exposures, can spin out of control. When inflammation is allowed to run wild, it can damage the body by creating too many pro-inflammatory cells and molecules, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukins (ILs), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), prostaglandins, and free radicals. Having too many of these pesky pro-inflammatory substances being produced can cause damage to the body, leading to inflammation-related health issues and conditions, such as autoimmune disease.

The problem is many of us don’t realize our inflammation levels are out of control until we start noticing health problems. That’s why it is so important to continually support healthy inflammation levels with our lifestyle and dietary choices.

What can help:

The Curcumin: Curcumin has been proven to lower inflammation in multiple inflammatory health problems from weight loss resistance (2)  to autoimmune disease. (3) When you are dealing with chronic inflammation, a supplement like The Curcumin can help fight inflammation more aggressively with it’s extensively studied form of curcumin - BCM-95® - for its proven efficacy and enhanced bioavailability without additives.

6. Cellular health

Considered “the building blocks of life”, every one of your 37.2 trillion cells come together to make up various areas of your body including your muscles, organs, bones, and skin. They are responsible for taking in nutrients, converting nutrients into energy, keeping all systems of your body properly functioning, and skin looking youthful. However, cellular health is often overlooked.

Needless to say, if your cells aren’t healthy, you won’t be either!

What can help:

The Antioxidant: Antioxidants are compounds found in fruits and vegetables that inhibit oxidation from outside triggers like toxins, poor diet, stress, excessive sun exposure that can damage your cells. Since most people don’t get enough antioxidants from food, The Antioxidant contains concentrated whole-fruit extracts from all 6 extensively studied antioxidant-rich fruits - blueberry, grape, pomegranate, cranberry, chokeberry, mangosteen, goji berry, bilberry, and apple.

7. Immunity

No other vitamin can hold a candle to vitamin D when it comes to importance and influence on health, including your immune system. In fact, low levels of vitamin D are associated with autoimmune conditions such as MS (4) and Parkinson’s. (5)

Vitamin K2 is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the Western diet, but it is essential for controlling inflammation and regulating your immune system. One study in the Journal of Neuroimmunology found that vitamin K2 was effective at inhibiting the pro-inflammatory iNOS in the spinal cord and the brain immune system in rats that had multiple sclerosis symptoms. (6)

Taking vitamin K2 and vitamin D together will not only help boost your immunity but it will also help make vitamin D more bioavailable to your body! 

What can help:

The D3-K2: Unlike other synthetic forms of vitamin K The D3-K2 contains MK-7 as Vitamk7™, a naturally derived and solvent-free vitamin K2 that has been obtained through a patent-granted biofermentation process of Bacillus subtilis natto cultures.

The Probiotic: Since so much of your immune system is located in your gut facilitating a healthy microbiome balance is going to be your first defense against any sickness. The Probiotic contains 100 billion CFUs of beneficial bacteria in gastro-resistant capsules to ensure a more targeted release.
