Big News! We’re now on Rumble!

MARTIN: Hello, this is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast podcast and today with me, Dr Lyle Wilson. He is bringing to us a product known as Strength24. Dr Wilson!

LYLE: I’m delighted to be here. Thank you so much for having me.

MARTIN: Yeah. We have been selling your product for years and it has been narrowly cast at people who may have issues with frequent urination. But this product is so much more.

LYLE: It is indeed. Yes.

MARTIN: Yeah. Let’s explain what all it actually does help with.

LYLE: Okay. The list is long and pretty glorious. So let’s begin with a little background understanding of what we’re addressing with the key ingredients in this product. Calcium. Most of us, when we think of calcium, we’re thinking about bones and teeth and 99 and a half percent of the kilo’s worth of calcium in our bodies is that. But that other half percent about an ounce and a half of free calcium in the body are calcium ions that because of their unique double plus charge, the body has adapted to and uses that unique quality as a second messenger. And calcium is involved in every function of every cell in our bodies. And so consequently with that very potent charge, our bodies have developed these unique ways of regulating where that calcium is and what it’s doing so that it can use it well to ask the cells to do the work that they do and then stop it when it’s no longer appropriate to continue.

MARTIN: My understanding of this was that calcium is the signaling molecule in the autonomic nervous system, activating and magnesium being its opposite, turning it off. Right, so they play together like that?

LYLE: They do, yes. Yeah.

MARTIN: And in our diet, calcium is rich and magnesium is not. So we end up being too happy or too triggered into the calcium realm, right?

LYLE: Yes, we do. Yeah. And there’s this great huge gradient of calcium ions outside the cell membrane to inside. It’s about a 10,000 to 1 gradient. And so it’s very easy and quick to send the signal and cause a flood of calcium into the cell to trigger its work. But then we have to have a way to regulate that and pull it back out of that activity. So there are a couple of enzymes, calcium ATPase enzymes that we keyed in on in our work with the formulation of this product. And these enzymes are really about relaxation. They’re really about giving the cell the opportunity to relax between times that it’s being called on by the nervous system to do the work that it does.

MARTIN: Yeah, this is like getting the gas pedal unstuck and pulling it back, right?

LYLE: That’s exactly right. Yes. Yeah. So one pretty easy visual way to think about this is that when we get a signal to contract our biceps muscle, that’s that release of the calcium into that muscle fiber. And the actin and myosin do their thing. In order for that muscle to be able to relax that contraction, the calcium ATPase enzyme has to gather up all of that calcium and put it back into storage and then the muscle can relax. And so that’s happening in every kind of cell that we have in our bodies.

MARTIN: Yeah, right. And in microseconds.

LYLE: Yes. Yeah. It’s so fast.

MARTIN: Right.

LYLE: It’s so fast. Yeah. There are 600,000 to 1.4 million chemical reactions a second inside of ourselves. And so all of this is,

MARTIN: So let’s outline. Would you please outline the horror of when things go off the rails? What does actually happen to a person who has this dysregulation going on?

LYLE: Well, what happens is diabetes and cancer and fatigue and heart failure and blood clots and a-fib. And when we are out of balance and unable to pull the cells back from their work and enable them to relax, then we get all of this dysregulation and dysfunction happening, which we step back and look at in the wider world and just call disease.

MARTIN: Right. I was just talking to my wife. She says a relative has been in an emergency room with a-fib. They had to do a cardioversion on him.

LYLE: When we think about that heart muscle, this is a muscle that’s going to beat three and a half or four billion times over the course of a lifetime. And the only time it gets to take a break is between beats. And this calcium ATPase is what allows that relaxation between the beats. And so when we have low function of the sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase, when that’s not functioning well for us, when that activity level is low, then we start missing beats and we translate that as a-fib or, or more horribly, v-fib.

MARTIN: I don’t know what that is.

LYLE: Ventricular fibrillation.

MARTIN: Okay. So rather than the top side, it’s the bottom side that’s out of rhythm.

LYLE: And the a-fib is acutely uncomfortable and can be life-threatening. V-fib is a heart attack. So.

MARTIN: Oh dear. Okay. And so here we are right back to the calcium magnesium story and the enzyme, the calcium ATPase, which that’s actually everything to do with our ability to convert energy. No, well, spend energy and function. Right? Like all of us, you mentioned it in muscles and heart. So everything that involves spending of energy requires this to function.

LYLE: That’s correct. And the ATPase in the heart of that enzyme is using that energy expenditure to gather a couple of calcium ions and put it back on the other side of itself. And so the ability for that enzyme to recycle, get a fresh ATP molecule into the heart of itself so that it can keep doing what it does, is at the very heart of what this supplement is all about, is that we’re stimulating, serving that enzyme’s ability to be more responsive and reactive to the needs of the body.

MARTIN: So in that sense that name is actually really appropriate. Strength 24.

LYLE: Yes. Yes it is. Yes.

MARTIN: Maybe we should have put down slash 365.

LYLE: Right. Yes.

MARTIN: Yeah. Awesome.

LYLE: Maybe the next version of the product.

MARTIN: No, not needed. I’m just playful. Okay, so here we are. Let’s talk about how did you actually come up with it? How did that come to be?

LYLE: Yeah, it’s a beautiful story. The woman that I co-created this formulation with gave birth to a child who had lots of dysfunction. One of the things that was at issue was that his little body was not making enough of this enzyme. And so she set about to learn everything that she could learn about how to intervene on this. And her father and I are friends and her father is who put us together. We began looking at natural compounds that are available that can stimulate the activity of these calcium ATPase enzymes and do so in a way that was friendly and appropriate to be bringing into the body. And we did create that product really specifically for her child. And in the process of our research, we really figured out that we all begin to lose that optimal function. We hit 25 as a male and 28 as a female. We start seeing a year over year decline in the quality of the function of that enzymatic process and realized that there was an opportunity to help people shift from that steady state decline that we often call the aging process and move it to more of a plateau where we can enjoy that optimal health for a much longer period of time in our life.

MARTIN: If only I had my strength and flexibility and metabolic capacity that I had 50 years ago.

LYLE: Yes.

MARTIN: Yes, indeed. I just heard someone tell me, listen, the way you’re feeling right now, 30 years from now, you really wish you felt like that.

LYLE: What?

MARTIN: Which, it’s an interesting perspective shift. Right? Like as a 25 year old, I had no understanding of what it’s going to be like when I’m 60 or 70.

LYLE: Right.

MARTIN: But anyway, so this is really, really neat. So this boy, did he get better or not?

LYLE: Yes, indeed. He is a couple of years post-graduation with an engineering degree from Georgia Tech and doing beautiful work in the wider world. And so yes, he’s done well.

MARTIN: I guess he’s still using Strength 24 every day, is he?

LYLE: Yes, indeed. Yes, yes.

MARTIN: So I guess in some way the boy was born into a 70 year old body, right?

LYLE: Right. Yes. Yeah, that’s a beautiful way to thi
