    no. 140 - The Ashwagandha and Stress Episode

    Ashwagandha offers several health benefits based on both traditional use and modern scientific research, including a role as an adaptogen to help with stress. This podcast covers the basics of what you need to know about this ancient medicinal herb. THIS UNMILLENNIAL LIFE PODCAST SHOW NOTES Ashwagandha, an ancient medicinal herb from Ayurvedic tradition, offers several health benefits based on both traditional use and modern scientific research: Stress Reduction: Ashwagandha is well-known for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress. Studies have shown it can significantly lower cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety. Improved Sleep: Its calming effects and influence on GABA systems might contribute to better sleep quality. Some research indicates ashwagandha can help with insomnia by promoting relaxation. Cognitive Function: There's evidence suggesting ashwagandha may enhance memory, cognitive function, and attention span due to its neuroprotective effects. Physical Performance: It's been linked to increased muscle strength, endurance, and recovery after exercise. This is likely due to its anti-inflammatory effects and ability to reduce exercise-induced stress. Hormonal Balance: In men, it might increase testosterone levels and improve fertility. In women, it can help balance hormones, potentially aiding in conditions like PCOS. Immune System Support: Ashwagandha has immunomodulatory effects, meaning it can help regulate the immune system, potentially beneficial for autoimmune conditions. Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant: It contains compounds that fight inflammation and oxidative stress, which might benefit chronic diseases associated with inflammation. Mental Health: Preliminary studies suggest it might have potential in managing depression, possibly by influencing neurotransmitter activity in the brain. While ashwagandha has many touted benefits, it's important to use it under guidance, especially considering potential interactions with medications or existing health conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

    no. 134 - The POSTbiotics Episode

    Postbiotics are beneficial "inactive" organisms. In this episode, we discuss both what postbiotics are and how they support overall immunity.    What are Postbiotics? You've likely heard of pre- and probiotics, but the term "Postbiotics" may be less familiar. As a promising new tool to support immune health, postbiotics are unique. They aren't actually "live active" organisms. Instead, postbiotics are beneficial "inactive" organisms. In this episode, we discuss both what postbiotics are and how they uniquely support overall immunity.    THIS UNMILLENNIAL LIFE PODCAST SHOW NOTES LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE ImmuseHealth.com Where to Find IMMUSE™ (LC-Plasma) Postbiotic (immusehealth.com) Twitter (X): @Immusehealth Instagram: @Immusehealth Facebook: @Immusehealth YouTube: Immuse Health YouTube PREVIOUS PODCASTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE no. 118 - The Probiotics and Metabolism Episode no. 46 - The Probiotics and Prebiotics Episode no. 130 - The Gut-Skin Connection Episode ODDS & ENDS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Kara and Nate on YouTube DailyDrop White Collar on Netflix Google Lens COMMERCIAL LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE YourColorGuru.com - Coupon Code REGAN for 10% off EPISODE KEYWORDS podcast, umillennial, Gen X, podcasts for women, women over 40, women over 50, nutrition, midlife wellness NEVER MISS A NEW EPISODE!   This is a public episode.
