    Are you an ambitious, high performer on a mission to improve the aging process? Do you struggle to get the desired results even when doing all the "right" things? Let's learn from fellow FDNP, Martha Lewis, on sleep issues! "My mission is to teach people why they can't sleep normally and help our clients find and fix the root causes of their insomnia. I struggled for sleep for 2 years and tried all the normal advice and supplements and nothing worked. It wasn't until I did functional lab tests and found out that I had a parasite, hormone imbalance, heavy metal toxicity, gluten sensitivity, blood sugar issues and more that I was able to sleep well again."  Watch our video conversation and hit subscribe here We talk about all things that impact sleep, how to test and not guess as well as solutions for a personalized program. What really causes sleep issues? Why doesn't sleep hygiene work? What lab tests show what causes insomnia?

    A Deep Dive Down the Rabbit Hole on the Vagal Nerve

    Metabolic Harmony for Health and Wellness Sign up for our first “Metabolic Harmony Webinar” to learn all about Vagal Nerve Stimulation, Heart Rate Variability and more on Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 at 9am PST but register first with our link- just ask me!   The vagus nerve and its function, vagal tone, are key elements in understanding health, performance, and longevity.  Improving vagal tone enhances the function of multiple body systems, leading to various health benefits: Stress Management: A robust vagus nerve helps lower cortisol, enhancing resilience to stress and reducing the risk of stress-related conditions like high blood pressure and insulin resistance. Reduced Inflammation: The vagus nerve activates the anti-inflammatory reflex, reducing chronic inflammation linked to diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. Metabolic Health: Healthy vagal tone supports glucose and fat metabolism, helping with weight management and reducing metabolic issues. Mental Health: High vagal tone is linked to emotional resilience, reduced anxiety, and better mood by regulating brain neurotransmitters. Cardiovascular Health: It lowers heart rate, improves heart rate variability (HRV), and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Recovery and Performance: For athletes, improved vagal tone supports quicker recovery, better oxygen utilization, and enhanced sleep. Impact on Fat Loss, Performance, and Longevity: Fat Loss: Improves metabolism and controls stress hormones. Performance: Boosts recovery, endurance, and efficiency. Longevity: Reduces inflammation and improves cardiovascular health. Improvement Strategies: Measure: Use HRV and resting heart rate. Improve: Practice breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, cold exposure, and use devices like Neuvana Life for vagus nerve stimulation. Improving vagal tone supports overall health, performance, and longevity. Joins us for a 30 day VNS/HRV Challenge! January 20 – Feb 20, 2025 – Reduce stress, sleep better, improve resilience and measure your progress! ▪ The Challenge is free! You will need to purchase the XEN and SweetBeatHRV app and a heart rate monitor. ▪ You can purchase the XEN VNS device at https://neuvanalife.com/pages/shop – 20% promo code will be provided for 30 Day Challenge participants! ▪ Go to www.SweetWaterHRV.com for links to the SweetBeatHRV app in the Apple App store (Android coming soon!) – Choose your Heart Rate Monitor here! – https://sweetwaterhrv.com/healthsensors.shtml ▪ Go to WWW.SweetWaterHRV.com/30DayChallenge.shtml to sign up

    Unlocking Metabolism: Fuel, Mitochondria, and NAD+ for Longevity

    Episode Overview In this episode, we break down the foundations of metabolism and its critical role in health and longevity. Learn the difference between carbohydrate and fat metabolism, how they fuel your body, and their connection to mitochondrial health. We also explore the groundbreaking role of NAD+ in cellular energy, repair, and aging, and discuss how supplements like Tru Niagen can support mitochondrial efficiency for metabolic health and longevity. Topics Covered in This Episode What is Metabolism? The process by which your body converts food into energy to fuel cellular functions. Key players: Carbohydrate metabolism and fat metabolism. Carbohydrate Metabolism Overview of glycolysis: breaking down glucose into energy. Importance of glucose as a quick energy source, especially during high-intensity activities. How efficient carbohydrate metabolism impacts blood sugar regulation and overall energy. Fat Metabolism Explanation of beta-oxidation: how fat is broken down in mitochondria for energy. Why fat metabolism is critical for sustained energy during long-duration activities or fasting states. The interplay between fat metabolism and metabolic flexibility. Mitochondrial Health: The Powerhouses of Your Cells Why mitochondria are central to energy production and metabolic health. How metabolic flexibility—the ability to switch between carbs and fat for fuel—relies on optimal mitochondrial function. The Role of NAD+ in Longevity NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) as a coenzyme essential for energy production. Its role in mitochondrial health, DNA repair, and reducing oxidative stress. Age-related decline in NAD+ levels and its impact on metabolic and cellular health. How Tru Niagen and Similar NAD+ Supplements Work Tru Niagen contains nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor that efficiently boosts NAD+ levels. Key benefits of NAD+ supplementation: Increased energy (enhanced ATP production). Improved metabolic flexibility (faster transitions between fat and carb metabolism). Activation of sirtuins (proteins that regulate mitochondrial health and stress resistance). Enhanced cellular repair mechanisms and reduced aging effects. Support for fat oxidation and overall metabolic health. Synergy with Lifestyle Interventions How exercise naturally boosts NAD+ levels and supports mitochondrial biogenesis. The role of fasting and caloric restriction in enhancing NAD+ synthesis. Dietary strategies to complement supplementation, focusing on foods rich in NAD+ precursors like tryptophan and niacin. Key Takeaways Metabolism is more than calorie burning—it’s the foundation of cellular energy and health. Carbohydrate and fat metabolism play unique roles in energy production and metabolic flexibility. Mitochondrial health is essential for sustaining energy and combating aging. NAD+ is a vital coenzyme that declines with age but can be restored with supplements like Tru Niagen, alongside exercise and a nutrient-rich diet. Call to Action Interested in enhancing your energy and longevity? Explore NAD+ supplementation, optimize your mitochondrial health, and fuel your body with metabolic flexibility in mind. Don’t forget to pair these strategies with regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and stress management for maximum benefits.
