An then I watched this!
Just watched a video from zonia.com who offer a monthly subscription service to access content from a large number of professionals giving their best advice to maintain or restore your health. Here are some of the takeaways from many professionals on just that one video.
Adaptogens help your body to modulate or balance the effect of chronic stress.
Since the beginning of time, all cultural medicine as seen that stress is probably the most important thing we deal with. So whether you look at Ashwaganha, Rhodiola, Ginseng, Cordyceps, Schisandra… …the variety of adaptogens and everybody thinks adaptogens work on your adrenal glands. Adaptogens work on your brain to make you more resilient to the stress that you’re being faced with day in and day out.
Brian Vaszily: The top herbs to focus on are thos that are high in antioxidants. While the ORAC scale is not the be all and end all, you could not go wrong by focusing on foods that are high on the ORAC scale. Like cloves and cinnamon. Another is AMLA or Indian Gooseberry, one of the three components of Triphala.
Jenny Tufenkian: Most people want to address energy. The root cause for most people is that you want to take herbs and things that support your stress response. Ashwaganha, B group vitamins (preferably from food sources – savoury yesat flakes), magnesium, vitamin C.
For people who suffer from post exertion malaise, the cause is most likely mitochondrial dysfunction. I handle that with “mito foods” – CoQ10, Resveratrol, D-Ribose, NAD boosting supplements.
…On of the often overlooked foods from anti-aging, metabolic, regenerative, biohacking, whatever you want to call it, are fermented foods. Prebiotics, probiotics and now we are learning about postbiotics. Fermented foods boost gut bacteria which turns into anti-brain aging butyrate which helps heal the brain. As does acetic acid.
Kat Toups: How can we incorporate more fermented foods in our diet? Kimchi, sauerkraut are very good but coconut yogurt is more palatable and good.
The other thing is eating healthy fats. Low fat is probably one of the biggest medical mistake of last century. The brain is mostly fat. One problem is people coming in with very low cholesterol and that is very detrimental to the brain. Cholesterol is a precursor to all your hormones.
So if your cholesterol is low not only does it harm the brain but it also make your estrogen, your testosterone, your progesterone, makes you DHEA, your thyroid hormones. So if you have very low cholesterol, that needs attention.
Reed Davis: The first reason to take supplements is to replace what’s now missing in food due to overfarming. To supplement nutrient intake. The second is to stimulate certain functions, like the immune system. The third is to support over stressed (adrenals) or under attack bodily systems or degenerated functions, like digestive enzymes or stomach acid. The fourth S is for self-tratment, for things like parasite treatments.
Anna Cabeca: Adaptogenic support combining Maca, magnesium, probiotics, DHEA, CoQ10, Carnitine.
