Good day michigan families and welcome to another empowering radio blast episode of michigan family wellness in your host dr kyle and today we will be devoting an entire episode two prenatal nutrition.

[2:18] Now i know we've mentioned this before on previous and after the officers however i really want to get specific and laid down the benefits and value of targeted nutritional medicine.
During pregnancy and explain how chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy.
Significantly elevate the journey of pregnancy and help cultivate a natural birth it's certainly no surprise that,
nutritional needs during pregnancy increase dramatically as the process incubating a baby requires additional micro and macro nutrients.
While a chronically poor diet can have long term ramifications well not pregnant think obesity diabetes metabolic syndrome.
For the developing child however of pregnant moms inadequate nutritional intake can undermine the immediate health of both mom and child.
While also impacting the birthing process itself.

[3:14] For example while most chiropractors understand the importance of vitamin d in overall human health.

[3:20] What may possibly get overlooked are the health benefits of the sun.
Specifically and most importantly the sun and its life giving all true violet light is vital in order for our bodies to an dodge initially produce vitamin d.
This may be reflected by an increased risk of developing multiple skull roses in the offspring of mother's.
Who were exposed to minimal amounts of sunlight during pregnancy,
additionally low vitamin d status can lead to increased risk of asthma and allergic rita's later in life as well as impaired growth and skeletal problems,
finally according to another study vitamin d deficiency correlates with preeclampsia gestational diabetes bacterial infections and an increase risk for c section delivery.

[4:08] There are growing bodies research that suggests optimal vitamin d levels require five to ten thousand units of supplemental vitamin d daily.
In order to raise the level in the blood of the proper form of vitamin d.
This is especially important if you live in northern latitudes like michigan.
Long michigan winters are not conducive to optimal year round vitamin d levels which is why many people experience seasonal depressive disorder.
During the fall through winter seasons when the sunlight hits your skin your body has the ability to make its own vitamin d,
which is pretty cool the thing is,
research now shows the sun must be at the correct angle for this reaction to occur a great trip to figure out if the sun is out the correct angle is to look at your shadow.
If your shadow is taller or longer than you technically you're not making vitamin d but if your shadow is shorter than you are,
then you're making that free beautiful vitamin d of the vitamin d supplement i recommend an test on my patience for at the office is based in a nanas for light goes on,
called soul ray d not only does it contain the purest vitamin d possible but also has vitamin k two and k seven in the proper ratios for their synergistic balance requirements,
and this is for optimal absorption on top of all that it's actually a spray delivery mechanism meaning it's alter portable.

[5:43] Convenient and great for the kids to use as well i'll drop the link into the show notes here for an exclusive pdf that explains more about this special vitamin d medicine.

[5:55] Omega three fatty acids are another fundamentally vital part of any complete nutritional pregnancy regimen.

[6:02] Do you make three fatty acids the a is critical for optimal brain health and function at all ages of life.
But the research literature is very clear that the provides brain supportive benefits in infants as well as the developing baby,
dhea helps with brain development while supporting learning memory visual acuity and cognition the has even been shown to have an interesting and complex relationship with the neurotransmitters as it can help mitigate the symptoms of postpartum depression,
by influencing both sarah town in and other mean now transmission,
iron zinc in full eight are all required for proper neonatal intellectual and motor skill development because of the rapid growth rate and neurological expansion of the baby.

[6:47] Requirements for these important nutrients are except,
ideally the primary nutritional vehicle for the new born is breast milk and since many mothers find,
that getting enough iron and zinc in their diet may be difficult enough organic grass fed non gmo red meat can be the best source of both iron and zinc,
nutritional supplementation is the easiest and most cost effective solution another new chain associated with improper neurological motor and psychological development of the baby is the mineral iodine,
there's a simple and easy way to test for the body's need for iodine i do this with my patients all the time at the office.

[7:28] You simply taking iodine roller and apply a small patch of liquid iodine to the skin.
Allow a few moments for it to dry and then i tell the patient to periodically check the patch and know what time it disappears.

[7:41] Ideally you want the patch to take twenty four hours or longer to disappear.

[7:45] When the patch is absorbs in less than twenty four hours this indicates the body is looking for sources of iodine,
iodine is a new treaty of no due to the thyroid need for iodine to make siree hormones.
The correlation between internal hypo thyroid ism and adversely affected baby development is on questioned after calcium magnesium may be the most important mineral in our bodies.
Magnesium regulates more than three hundred twenty five and zions in the body the most important of which for,
to produce transport store and utilize energy many aspects of cellular metabolism are regulated by magnesium such as dna and rna synthesis.
Cell growth and cell reproduction magnesium also orchestrates the electric current that sparks through the miles of nerves in the body.
Without magnesium muscle and nerve functions are compromised and energy is diminished magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body with regard to skeletal muscle.
One may experience twitches especially in the eyelids cramps muscle tension muscle soreness including backaches neck pain.
Tension headaches and jaw joint pain or tmj dysfunction.

[8:58] One may experience chest tightness or a particular sensation that one can take a deep breath sometimes a person may sigh a lot.

[9:07] So magnesium is a big deal with pregnancy from a neurological perspective because the nervous system of the baby is forming and developing in the womb.
But also from a narrow muscular skeletal perspective because the mothers leg and pelvic muscles.
Need to have adequate levels of magnesium to relax to stretch and to deliver the baby through the birth canal.

[9:32] The hormone relaxing helps with this but proper levels of magnesium will make delivery much less painful a shorter delivery time and much more beautiful,
dietary intake of fall its during early pregnancy especially twenty one to twenty eight days after conception is critical for baby spinal cord development low fully intake is one of the leading causes of neural tube defects.
The problems of which has been reduced and nations implementing mandatory fortification,
of cereal grains with full gas it without food fortification or supplementation deficiency a full eight intake is high in the united states.
The national health and nutrition examination survey data collected from two thousand three to two thousand six,
suggest that nearly ninety percent of americans consume less than the estimated average requirement which increases the likelihood that a woman answers her pe,
pregnancy with an adequate levels of oh late for appropriate baby neural development yet despite the common recommendation for women to consume folic acid supplements or multi vitamins with folic acid prior to pregnancy among american women ages eighteen to forty four years with the recent live birth,
only twenty nine point seven percent of women reported full of acid supplementation during the month before pregnancy.

[10:52] Those reporting the lowest rate of supplementation were those ages eighteen to twenty four years during pregnancy reported use of folic acid supplementation increases to an overall seventy seven percent although.
Use appears to be lowest during the first trimester when fully need is the greatest.
The biologically active fully molecule is the fully reduced to methylated model glue to make form called.
Five metal tetra hydro full it or five and the f,
i don't want to overwhelm everyone with the complex biochemistry is in the methylation pathways that's why you have a doctor that's why you have someone like myself who understands all of that.
And can finally down for you.
But i do want everyone to know that the recommendation is eight hundred to a thousand units of methylated folic acid,
should be added through the eight weeks before conception through the and of breast feeding,
calling isn't a central nutrient that is critical for baby development,
partly due to its intersection with the methylation pathways coleen is also the precursor for one of the most important arrow transmitters a co calling,
during pregnancy um other shuttles large amounts of calling across the placenta to the baby and later through her breast milk during breast feeding pregnant women have higher amounts of calling that their body makes naturally already however calling levels are often still diminished due to low dietary calling stores per.

[12:26] Prior to pregnancy and low dietary intake during pregnancy.

[12:31] In fact according to recent and hands that only about eight percent of the united states population consumes the adequate intakes of calling,
through their diet and supplementation food sources of calling include eggs beef liver wheat germ cooked beefing cod,
and cooked christopher's vegetables especially broccoli and brussels sprouts i recommend that all my pregnant patients consume adequate levels of calling each day which is around four hundred and fifty milligrams through their diet if possible and if they're taking their prenatal supplements than they're already getting this amount anyways,
the health and integrity of the micro bio and is now recognized as a major factor in maintaining an individual's health especially,
a pregnant mothers health beneficial micro bio organisms help to protect the gastrointestinal environment,
from certain pathogenic organisms provide important nutrients through fermentation and direct synthesis and improve gut barrier function,
this all helps to mature and fine tune the immune cell functions the reproductive tract is also a microbial rich environment.
Well this feature is often considered negative during pregnancy for example certain bacterial infections there is now a better understanding of the protective affect,
of good,
coming so organisms protecting the reproductive tract during pregnancy in fact maternal gastrointestinal and plus sensor microbiology have been shown to play a vital role.

[14:04] And the babies metabolic programming,
as well as got and immune function in the baby prior to delivery due to these and other recent discoveries the micro pill environs of both the got and reproductive tracks during pregnancy have only just be,
is become the focus of the,
of clinical research along with observation studies several intervention of studies have examine the role of nutritional pri biotic and pro biotic modulation,
of the mothers got environment on a range of perry nail and baby development outcomes beyond the obvious support for both gastrointestinal and immune a logical health in the mother and baby.
Prenatal pro biotic said been evaluated for their affects on pre-eclampsia maternal depression,
just a snow diabetes mother and baby metabolic functions and even heavy metal and pesticide.
Removal from the body some though not all studies have shown that prenatal pro biotic you significantly increased levels of both g and birth canal,
like to the solas populations reduce the incidence of bacterial infections,
and altered immune markers in serum and breast milk improve maternal glucose metabolism and reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes the use of supplemental probiotics containing lactic facilities and if it'll bacteria strains should be considered safe and beneficial during pregnancy.

[15:35] And lactation studies using the common use pro biotic sacrifices bill rd during pregnancy have not been published.
While the use of the strain appears to be common during pregnancy in europe.
Some are still reluctant to recommend its use due to a lack of published clinical that however with the exception of,
me no compromise patients are mothers there is no reason to believe the use of sacrifices bill rd would be unsafe during pregnancy or lactation so again,
this is a major point i always take account the research and the science and then i use functional,
muscle testing reply can you see allergy to help confirm and fine what is the most specific and best,
supplements whether they be pro biotic vitamins herbs doesn't matter what it is.
We want to be as specific to that individual central nervous system as possible,
ensuring that pregnant mothers pay special attention to appropriate nutrition can be as simple as putting her on a properly formulated prenatal multi vitamin,
in this simple way both baby and mother can be assured that their fundamental nutritional needs are being met during this time but again i stress this point.
One prenatal multi vitamin doesn't mean it's the best for everyone you have to sign what specific one works best for that woman for that mother finally chiropractic care for pregnancy is absolutely essential you can have the best nutrition in the world but if there is a structural problem with the sake from the.

[17:10] Pelvis or the lumbar spine nutrition alone will not fix that problem chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy have helped turn breached babies shorten labour times and even helped an issue delivery when the baby just wasn't coming to spy,
being full term furthermore most if not all women will tell you their pain levels were dramatically decrease during labor from receiving chiropractic adjustments so again it's the combination of the nutritional medicine and the kayak,
adjustments that provide the most benefit and value to the mother and her baby,

[6:17] Okay well on one of my mid late twenties i know that the coming very kill.
And i am actually a wheelchair for almost five years so.

[6:30] It was bad not fun and i got a learn a lot.
The dog can go back a little bit for you and can bring about how i feel it all happened and that was when i was younger growing up on my groupon for my parents were farmers and.
We didn't really know that much about food we didn't understand the difference between cat food versus whole food and not people that my gas.

[7:00] Anyway to my family my mom didn't like to cook and go in adaptable you need a lot of work so he wasn't there to cook and bake it with my mom.
We can happen yeah we a half to the can a box of which quick easy to make.
Showered for then yeah whatever alot he dinner at peking and we ate fast food a lot of food.
And i had no idea at the time how that would affect me.
I have no idea that i can actually affect health so when as i was growing up.
Only hears a half to them and think that will not good for me because they're delicious have a minor.
I have no clue who it is not kicking it with me.
When i get on my twenty into a what the doctors that it you know i was in my early twenties in here i had high cholesterol and high blood pressure high triglycerides all the things going on.
The dr would look at me and they pay well you know you're young no big deal don't worry about it you know how i didn't that was you fine with me i don't wanna worry about it so i don't,
eventually about playing when i got into mine on mid twenties i started having health problems and i have a injury with torn ligaments and tendons in my left leg.
And it did not heal and i did everything that they tell me to do to the key i'd like the perfect patient.

[8:35] But it didn't heal and eventually i was diagnosed with a very much for the whole bunch other things on.
I need a heater and can't believe you actually hangout with nicole reflection that dystrophy my husky.
And that also i was diagnosed with chronic pain syndrome fibromyalgia it by roy.
On my head i was diagnosed with her she knows which with an auto immune kind of of thyroid the and also i mean in the torah driest hypoglycemia drilled function correctly h three.
What could he allergies to the.
It very high cholesterol and kidney go high blood pressure your double barreled.

[9:22] I have herniated discs in my back of my neck having severe muscle spasms to help and.
Look for you to get fired the wiki god gallbladder problem.
The adrenal kidney it was crazy actually crazy and i was only in my.
Yeah during during that time the diagnosis in my late twenties early thirties my.

[9:48] Yeah essentially you know gosh that's just,
well one and it very compelling story is very overwhelming star you know justin can hear all that all in one go i understand there was a component of your history where you are actually in a wheelchair and you have all these.
Diagnosis is you know that run the gamut from our stds to auto immune hypothyroid how did you go from in a wheelchair to,
the arriving healthy life that you have now with enough energy and vitality to you know publish a book and have a family and be a mother and a wife.

[10:27] Well during those years that i was really really l and the timing will share it.

[10:37] Actually almost died and i had a near death experience it was the biggest blessing in my life i'm when i can back from that near death experience.
I really need i could get better and it wasn't quite clear on how i was gonna do that but i need i could.
Hello ivy can motivated and i started studying and learning.
And i talk with people like i learned from chinese practitioners i met chiropractor three learning from him i started learning are and what you like could problem i have with a good retainer because my brain was not working what well garage,
yo my people do that kind of thing so.
I have to get motivated and i had our understanding what would cause in the issues what right what it that way.
I would you would you say that was kinda your defining moment were there was perhaps a paradigm shift or you know having that near death experience and then coming back from that or was there something else that you would say was,
more foundation our motivational well i was.

[11:50] I can not fine you know i was ready to go to hell and i like fun fun ready to just go and i've actually a prayer angeli there tell me what i need your take me show it.
When i bring you that the very i think that was a profound moment for me it was truly an eye opener and when i realize that.

[12:14] Yeah the only the that that we do that we do with our bodies.
They could have something better by telling us there's something that out of toilet and i had to learn and figure out what without telling and what would my part.
In that in other words the food the way i can knowing i've been poisoned.
And so i had to start looking into the first thing i look at with all prescription medications is because at that time i was on again average english eleven thirteen medications a day.
And that did not include any settlement is taking my mom yeah so it will work with the michael worley and.
I had everything that and the first thing i wanna do you get off of the medication you know like good.
And i have been with my doctor to help me with that which is a whole other story but it was really interesting and then i realized the food component of the food and.
Yo at a cool thing happened grown up to my door and i believe it you got when people in your life you know when you're ready the teacher i.
And the little lock my door she just needed the area and he also have form to she wanted me somebody that have a farm and it comes back to my door and hold you study nutrition.

[13:39] Can you print,
open my eyes you what was in the food and would like chemicals into the heating and all the box to and frozen food something,
yeah we are pointing really and i need to change that in order for my body to heal i had to start removing the burden,
and that burned with coming from a lot of the attic and things that are not paid.

[14:08] And they are always amazed at the level and you know the significance.
In terms of your healing that people can accomplish just by changing their diet i mean and that is part of life style but i'm leaving on people that don't even do any exercising like if you if you just change the way you eat,
you can significantly change the way your brain functions change the way,
you know your metabolism functions i'm losing weight you talked about brain fog will they're having some cognitive issues and overall being on so many medications i can't imagine you know what,
these medications are doing to our society and our,
our culture is rain house just for one thing that topic of a completely different podcast episode where the house or go back to what you were really back your story that you're strange lol that,
and my question for you is there ever a point where you were.
You have the paradigm shift okay but this no longer defines me or was that a component for you because this is one thing that i see in my office with my patients sometimes people take their identity in there fiber my algae or other is either there diagnosis so my question is,
how do you not let your circumstances because you know as we heard you say you know you have a bunch of.
Circumstances diagnosis in a wheelchair so young coming so early in your life how did that not become justin overwhelming thing.
And how did you can turn around and really start to come out of that great crystal lake il that was me any letter early i hook on the identity of all of the goodies.

[15:52] And when you do that when i learned when you do that.
It's very difficult to let go of it is very difficult to move away from it and it won't go to find out where it is moving away from it will we identify with being weather car job or whether to do the.
Or something that we have whatever it may i get high with something we take ownership in.
I wanna take ownership in it much more difficult to let go of it show a big lesson for me.
One that goes things are the bed good.
I need you to all of the things welder basically label.
If something that are compiled together and giving a label and they're not me back something on the scary thing.

[16:47] And when i give finally understand and i was able to get back to work in a from my house.
I was able to be on a lot of the things.
And i'm not saying everything is perfect because you know now but you can move into a paper you can manage anything beyond a lot of the symptoms and you can actually become again you know.
I help the happy person and enjoy your life and you wanna alley,
absolutely and i'm sure you get into this in your book but,
just try listener's what were some of the therapies are you know the lifestyle changes and i talked about food changes that you made no mention chiropractor but it seems as though,
there were many people know that played a part almost like a health care team that you can employ,
yeah it just wasn't one thing it was a combination of different things that played a role in your success for health recovery definitely and it all comes.
My in later because we're not ready to drop everything all at once,
so basically what would happen her at the time with what i will draw and i would kill that liar which would then allow me to go to the next layer,
and when i feel that later it would allow me to connect my underneath that,
and hell yeah there was a lot of different modality thank you can do it has a component which was attacking form on your end blood test in different things like that can understand perfectly what's going on my body and then work the.

[18:29] Emotional component which i have to drive i had things that happen to me when i was a child.
That need to be addressed and they work hard they were not eating that i had address.
Would baby that you and i could everything that i get paid weekly in my kitchen my book is baby that.
It feels like sometimes like its a while but how you get there that how you get there is one step at a time and.
Then the heater talking component at the genetic there's a lot of good information today with a genetic understanding how we will eat up our trash in our way star.
Ability are biological ability to renew talking.
And i had to learn about getting for dental knowing it was a lot of dough component with with what i'm dealing with i had,
what a dental work done right before i had gotten yell and had no idea with connected.
Hello you know the food good all the things are connected and yeah that the car proctor i had a car car what you think are packaged frozen will share.
The woman that introduced me to michelle off to introduce me to her chiropractor and.

[19:49] Yeah i know you contact the day twenty some years later and.

[19:54] Can you help me with a lot of different things but i have to identify what i could do,
one at a time to make changes in my life that would allow my body to heal,
that would we get that burning to help me to get rid of the toxins and talk coming kind of form becoming physical like international like something in,
people are kind people in your life or not you're working hate,
get all the things play a major component really appreciate everything your saying your type of girl i now lot of you and i really agree with that hocks and bring working which really relate to a in planetary framework or state of information rice and,
understanding of in a if you have unresolved talking better causing unresolved information or,
you know so many things inclined inflammatory response but what i wanna really outline for our listeners and many of my patients were listening very know this because i say it every day in the office but.
We know that in door opens the body produces indoors endorphins are extremely powerful at resolving in fixing crying information,
not only that but the nero transmitter gabber is chemically similar to the endorphin response so from what i out line for a lot of my patients and what he ch often is that,
in terms of compounds that the body produces on and on you know that,
don't cost you extra money to buy a supplemental form and take in all that would i own vitamin d and endorphins are right up there and we know from research that.

[21:33] The neuro transmitter gap is chemically similar to those indoor and an initiate that.
Anti inflammatory response like i said very similar to the endorphin so here's the thing here's the big take on point those final chiropractic adjustments have been proven.
To help dandan lemonade that i'm going flange or respond.
Through the release of that nero transmitter gab from the spinal cord from the door to regain lanham spine and all of that that's just a fancy way of saying that.
Chiropractic adjustment it is scientifically bad natural treatment.
That when applied at the right level at the right time at the right cheek when you mention onion metaphor i love that that's great.

[22:20] You know i'm the one of the most powerful signals for you in your body because it's that central nervous system you know that brain body that brain tissue connection.
And i really feel that you can do all of these different applications like nutrition and exercise diet and lifestyle changes all of that is phenomenal and wonderful,
but at the core of the foundation if you have that no logic interference i really feel that your gonna be limited hear your improvement is going to be,
hundred in that way that's gonna be a road block and it's so easy so natural and gentle.
Choose to just get the chiropractor adjustment and remove the interference and restore that nervous system flow.
And just time travel and accelerate your healing results so i don't know if that's been part of your experience but that's when i work with people on every day in the office with your drink.

[23:14] Oh i definitely agree i totally agree and i cannot patient chiropractic for over twenty years in on it it always something that.
I i look at it and now today is preventive care for me mom when i want time with acute care preventive care what.

[23:33] And i really i mean that's a great point i mean i think everyone knows and i believe american dental association if you look at the framework of dentistry everyone knows you know go get your teeth checked and cleaned every six months rent you know at least one two year.
I can get a great job with that but when things out and tell people is you know what you don't take care your chief let's say you don't get those six months,
check out those queens what's the worst thing that can happen well your kid can fall out or you can you know get cavities and all that.
And it's not in the world you're not necessarily gonna die you know they can give you a new set of teeth and you can still live in a relatively healthy normal life but here's the,
thanx if you don't take care your spine or you don't resolve those who can fault you have when you're younger and you know that structure get i'm imbalanced rundown you have that this function,
you know we're not the point with our healthcare system that we have a spine transplant you know we can give you a new spine i.

[24:33] And so that's why really advocate your point is for the preventive care i tell my patients every four to six weeks just go get checked make sure things are moving in the right way.
And that you're working with a qualified licensed doctor who knows what they're talking about and this actually brings us to my.
Next point i want to make you hear time you started researching and educating yourself on different things that you can do practical applications.
How did you discern or differentiate what was going to help you and what was going to hurt you because you is what i see a lot of the office to people go online they google the facebook a you tube and the cod detox is clans is bone broth and nothing at,
nothing against those things at face value but those can be either really,
powerful tools and signals for healing but again if you do those things at the wrong time in the wrong sequence at the wrong dose,
they can actually make you worse and i see this all the time so again the question is how do you discern what's right for you do you work with a dr do you have someone helping you coach how does that play out.

[25:44] What i do and what i did at that time with i usually he got a practitioner that was knowledgeable and it had a very because i actually did get a couple of things.
My own and in you know i don't hate don't do that don't try but i don't tell people with your body your body all you going to tell you what's going on.
If you really if you think that we.
I guess the word would be to nine all i think we did nine what kind you like if you do it particular cleaned or something and you start feeling really really bad.
Yeah lot of people will deny that the feelings that bad and they feel like i'll just push through that i'm gonna push you that and sometimes like you said they can do more damage than good.
Other time maybe what is there gonna be getting a little bit of a perk reaction and then they just need to back off a little bit then there gonna do it okay that was my experience come live in.
I have that you like about about it was like no i really need to be talking people that know a little bit more about it and need to have experienced it and people can kinda guide me,
and keep me from here doing anything today in your queue damaging whatever to my body to the last thing i wanna do but.
Is why the calc professional him more than me always and.
I find really good mentors and learn from them.

[27:15] And then you know i trust my own instincts also has not gone through the whole process i've learned that my body really doesn't lie.
My body will tell me what's going on if i have to listen.
I have to not deny it and i have to listen to it and go with my gut instinct on the by lily had a lot of doctors that bless their hearts they didn't mean any harm.
But you know when on this prescription medication for that doing to me now it was destroying it was literally destroying helping my body.
And in the holy killing me hello.

[27:54] Again it's one of those things where yeah there's a lot of a professional doctor and and you have to realize that the water practitioners are trained very defintely so.
I learned to heat out the ones that were.
I trained in why study chinese restaurant but he got mentors and professionals in twenty seven i also went to chiropractor you understood nutrition.
Two hundred fifty theology.
You understood how the body works and how the body is barely talking to you and i'll are you naturopath doctor.

[28:29] And so the combination of all of those and eventually might help i trained in functional diagnostic nutrition and i can do other things too but.
These are the types of things that that i did and to this day i still always have a coach or mentor.
Who can help me because i can we can get um with the word hide.
Sidewinders i get what you call on where you don't always see everything you know it because if you let yourself and and you can always hear everything and sometimes it's really good to have.
Another person looking on that doesn't have the emotional investment that you do and can actually show you what he.
Can you take that in a factor yeah when you making decisions you coach that will,
absolutely and i love that message you know listening to your body and not trying to deny go signal you know it's almost like if you're,
driving in your car and at what is going on i know it in your dash working change your oil or check this fluid or no tire pressure whatever don't just ignore it,
actually address and prevent a much bigger problem later on down the road and that's really what michigan family wellness clinic in this,

she served doctors in the field like myself as a functional medicine consultant from ny to janet's on top of all that she's a michigan native and a loving mother and grandmother alright families let's jump into today's interview,

welcome to the podcast susan it's so great to have you.

[2:33] How was the morning for me i really happy you're susan i just hold our listeners a little bit about you as the professional but what can we learn more about season pass the first.

Thank you i really appreciate that hire young i say that after,

more than twenty years in this business in cash and i always say that this is,

still what wake me up in the morning i love this profession lol what we get to do i think it's such a privilege to be able to that,

lights by just giving people the information they need to make those changes so thanks again for having me so.

[3:15] Personally i am a mom of two children children children that he and i have a daughter was married and is expecting my second granddaughter any day now congratulations.

Thank you it's really exciting it's just like a club that you get to belong to that brings greater joy than anything i've ever experienced and sunday is a professional shop and he lives out in colorado.

I have lived in michigan my entire life and there's no place i'd rather be.

[3:49] Fantastic yeah great segway my next question for you was you know one thing we love to stay here on the mission family on this podcast is at.

We're smitten with the mitten so i always ask my gas what they love about michigan think,

first and foremost i love the changing of the seasons i love every single thing that we got to experience here from the beauty of the fall colors and i'm very much a water person i have a couple of.

Beaches in my neighborhood that are walkable and have lived in the water most of my life and,

find nothing more spiritual and calming to sit by the water and just listen to what they have to say fantastic yeah i can relate to there as well just growing up someone that started in swimming and just kinda,

was a swimmer from day one i really have this love for just really enjoying the water any water really is always a good thing to be around it is it's really calming and it's just,

such a beautiful place in michigan whether it's winter or summer to watch out on the ice and listen to the sounds and,

i particularly enjoy that we have the seasons because i feel like when it's,

sunny all the time you don't get time to kinda go within and be reflected and i think winters in michigan allow you to do that,

absolutely will thanks so much shoes and let's go ahead and dive into some of content that were actually here to talk about today so,

one of the reasons i wanted to bring you on the podcast as a unique guest a expert perspective was you can talk about the value and the benefits.

[5:27] For our listeners shift in terms of,

natural alternatives to female hormone imbalances and female hormones function so i'm about to go to use some numbers from twenty fourteen so arguably these numbers are already up dated.

But here's the thing susan over fifteen million women have already reached menopause and so,

what i see my office what i see with my patients are that many of my patients many of our listeners are having,

the following issues they're having sleep disturbances they're having your ability that isn't related to anything specifically their having to press of nudes or just a decrease in their over on their having anxiety,

they're having physical,

mental and emotional exhaustion one thing people tell me our joint and muscle complaints urinary tract symptoms as a liaison for marriage mx you know your that your the person that works with the doctors in the field and also with the formula is on the other side of the equation,

and drying on over your twenty years of experience as a healthcare professional how does manageress contribute to the natural alternatives for women that might find themselves with these,

what kind of experiences yeah looking for the baby boomer generation with all of the women who are reaching nana pies.

And it's called the change because we aren't they that everything changes at this point so we have several things that we can offer women to help balance and it certainly is the company one of our,

products that we have exclusive to manage an ex is called astro vera.

[7:02] An astronaut there is one ingredient siberian rhubarb root and it's just like it sounds it's the vegetable plant rhubarb and,

that's all that's in it and that,

single three and has been used in germany since nineteen ninety three and became available in the united states in two thousand nine so not very long,

again i say it's explicit manager next because maybe a lot of people have heard about it it actually will reduce collectively.

The menopausal symptoms i eighty three percent.

And most ex specially it is in the studies shown to be as effective.

At hormone replacement therapy for relieving hot flashes in studies and we have many of them.

[7:54] Reduced the number of hot flashes in four weeks,

but continues to become more active and the average reduction and hot flashes but c went from twelve a day.

Down to a day.

[8:12] It doesn't only work on hot flashes that it works and all of the menopausal symptoms so many things that you mentioned from depression and anxiety sleep disturbances aired ability muscle and joint pain,

on your track symptoms for sure and a children s although matter janet's has many other products that work.

[8:37] Concurrently with this product do a full assessment on one end and it manager next will often have the dr.

Have the haitian take what's called a stress identity questionnaire so that we can see how the adrenal may be playing a part,

in all of the menopausal symptoms so it's very much a well-rounded approach with astor very kind of being in the center,

for those symptoms that we discussed susan there's another thing i wanted to mention in regards to is really being specific with not only chiropractor adjustments but with the tools that were using in terms of.

Nutritional medicine and the approach that i taken my office is i'm never just going to blindly recommend a supplement or in our,

or vitamin or you know a specific method of delivery i'm always going to test the patient so that it specific for their neurology in their body and can i do that with,

apply can you salad your muscle testing many of my patients are listening already know this so what i'm my question for you is here.

Why specifically rhubarb there's been lots of other herbs that have been shown to possibly help with these estrogen imbalances but go ahead and speak to why specifically rhubarb well there and rhubarb has actually,

or supplement are available on the market that.

[10:03] Translate in the placebo back to include batteries so that means they actually showed an application is that with this product most of the other supplements that have been available.

Today it to treat or to help with menopausal symptoms like black cohosh and red clover and story and hops those are,

a few things that have shown minimal results and not much better than placebo in many cases and in some cases it actually,

increases the menopausal symptoms stoke s are very has really bad the first in its class to show any efficacy,

fantastic yeah so just to be clear for a listener shift would you say susan that were really talking about women who are in that perry menopausal that menopausal and that post menopausal stage of their life exactly because it.

Starts around forty five to fifty five with perry menopausal and then somewhere in that.

Area fifty to sixty most women are experiencing now cause and transmission is very individual depending on the women's genetics and the health of the rest of her body how she's going to go through,

that transition.

[11:22] Yes and that's a great point you know one thing i see a lot of in my office and you know where of course we're talking generalities hear me no two women are the same no two pregnancies are the same.

And everyone is gonna go through a little bit of an experience when it comes to this stage of life that were talking about however,

we do you want to highlight that what happens in this stage of life is that the ovaries actually start to decrease their production,

of estrogen and so when that happens,

we start to get all the symptoms that we've mentioned in so this is why one have susan on because you know as a chiropractor i'm really into natural alternatives and on non hormonal therapies i just think i've had really great success.

With a couple of my patients again everyone's different so that's why you should work with a qualified health care professional to figure out what's best for you,

but when we use this siberian rhubarb on specific people in specific dosing z at a specific level,

for a specific time we get really good results and it's really due to the,

fido estrogen and the fact so i wanted to ask you about that susan can you explain its not hormone replacement therapy it's it's the rhubarb is the specific form of rhubarb that's affecting the estrogen receptors is that right.

[12:44] That's correct and to be very clear there is no estrogen in this product off so that makes it very say,

for most women see use the only contra indication or person that may not be able to use this product of course leave it never use it and pregnancy or nursing we have no studies and that's not,

particular person that it's kind of on target for to begin with.

Women that have had it any kind of estrogen dependent cancer should not use this product and not because we think it is unsafe but because we don't have the testing,

so that being said.

Again no estrogen intact no estrogen response so because it is a plant extract it binds with certain.

Aster general reset or sites in the body but we're this particular perhaps product.

Tends to affect the sellers after sides is what is called the sturgeon bay not.

Which is opposite of what the,

hormone replacement therapy a fax though hormone replacement therapy works in water hot the estrogen alpha receptor sites and that's where you can have some of the cellular changes,

that can affect certain oncology conditions so this being that.

[14:15] Working on a masters in beta receptor sites that's where we got calmness in the mood and the other symptoms,

there with menopause.

[14:26] Absolutely i really love that specificity mention those estrogen receptors in the same way that i am just so specific with my chiropractic adjustments not just this.

Generalize mobilization it really is a targeted dial then focused.

Chiropractic adjustment profoundly impacts the central nervous system i really love the way this marriage and acts esther vera this form of rhubarb,

specifically targets that beta estrogen receptor that you were talking about and again as someone that's really into neurology and brain health,

they're estrogen receptors all over the body and so,

when you talk about the causal chain factors or just you know the other things that can be affected by a deficiency in estrogen you can really see different effects in terms of bone density.

Brain health all alot of the receptors in our brain,

actually have estrogen receptors and when those just are firing well that can cause a lot of nero cognitive neuro motion of issues and so.

Again i really do appreciate the specificity of this form of rhubarb to really target that.

Asteroids and better scepter now another question you're for issues and what if someone is what if a woman is already taking,

pastor john hormone replacement therapy is that gonna be an issue with astro vera or three point product can be used.

[15:57] In perry menopausal period before a woman feels like she needs to look at,

or a replacement therapy or to a bullied hormone replacement therapy sometime we can avoid any kind of.

Are there interaction i using after vera and making sure that diet is right the got health is very good and also the adrenal spin balance.

But sometimes a woman decides to make that choice for dr to use some of the bio identical hormone replacement therapy and this product can actually be used concurrently or take in as well,

and many other physicians,

like to use this so that they can keep the arm on replacement therapy at a low dose and news as rear offer any greek for symptoms.

[16:45] I've also seen,

doctors use that to wean women off of hormone replacement therapy so that they don't suffered a rebound effects of coming off of that and then you can use the extra vera for as long as needed.

How.

With or without so you ask a question you know that that's a major point there too and i tell people this all the time it's not that i'm anti drug that i'm anti surgery we need those.

Avenues we need that medical framework to keep us alive for emergency situations and just for those.

Those exceptions to the rule but i would say for most people even some of the patients that everything recently you now.

Sixteen twenty you know their mid twenties and their starting use hormone medications they plan being on them for the rest of their lives in so to your point there's is an to be able to use a natural.

Alternative,

to assist or even take compliments the effects of the medication i can that's wonderful and i would also highly recommend.

Just in terms of baby stepping off of a medication using a mechanism like this having this kind of alternative is just a great.

Way to go so i wanna ask you more about how can patients actually how can women actually get their hands on.

This specific form of rhubarb can you find this on amazon can you walk into a walmart and buy this off the shelf.

[18:10] Well mechanic is what we refer to as a professional line only and in order to buy time you have to get it through in life and health care provider,

and we believe that's very important because of the decisions that should be made between you and your health care provider the,

thing and energetic not a line that you can just walk into a help to store there are and that you choose to sell it on amazon,

but.

You need to be a patient of theirs and have a provider code in order to get these products in my office quality rules the day if i'm not working with.

The highest quality physical nutritional medicine dot so my patients deserve they deserve the absolute best so i wanted to kinda circle back you've mentioned in a little bit about the adrenal zero at several points in our podcast here.

[19:04] And i just wanna really such on for our listeners you know the importance of.

Really making sure the adrenal are taking care of and supported and sell in your clinical experience of over twenty years.

Do you see a lot of straight up just adrenal fatigue or do you like to look at.

What's known as the hp a access or what i like to call the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis because one of the things i'm seeing in my office is there is been a lot of people that have just had flat out adrenal fatigue.

[19:38] I'm getting a lot of good results lately just by helping people's brains i wanna ask you about that question if i may i'd like to go back just a little,

and the professional line question that you asked and one thing that i always like to point out because,

no matter how long i do that i am always to me how people and the general public do not understand that the supplement industry is,

on regulated and so,

they don't understand that when you are buying an over the counter supplement there's literally no governing board and is overseeing what is in supplement the fda does have it all,

for looking at.

[20:26] Nutritional supplements but by and large there's no standardized industry for it and so one of the recent articles published in jama,

actually talked about fifty five different bottles of vitamin d that were pulled from twelve different manufacturers and those fifty five bottles,

the label content,

i love that i am not in other words how much of that vitamin d was in that bottle actually contained in those capsules or tablets range,

from nine percent to one hundred and forty six percent of what was legal claim.

[21:06] I always like to use the example of vitamin d because it so important in the by an expression with women's health and most specifically prenatal i'll.

[21:17] There is higher increased risk of miscarriage when vitamin d levels are inadequate or under in the body.

[21:26] And if you are sending your patients and their obtaining a bottle of vitamin d that is literally nine percent of what's on that label claim.

[21:34] It just really makes me sad when people don't understand how important it is to know what you're buying,

no that's clean and no that that africa c is in nepal to what's not label you bring up such a good point there susan and i'm really glad that you actually circle back and address that because.

[21:55] Honestly it's it's a major do you know to be able to tell someone that.

Hey you know this rodeo that were gonna give you to help your you know hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis like this is the highest quality rodeo in the world you know you cute you can't find this on amazon are walking to engine zero walmart now just using rodeo as an example or even rhubarb for that matter,

so i'm really glad you make that point.

And even back to what you were saying about vitamin d you know it really is the narrow hormone you know so much more than just a vitamin so much more than just you know it really is is near a hormone and i think it really ties into,

our discussion on estrogen here in terms of the.

[22:36] Osteoporosis affects you know you do you need to pray calcium you do need vitamin d and you do need healthy levels of estrogen to have good bone density especially in this stage of life that were talking about would you agree.

[22:50] I was completely agree and i just really like to bring up because they feel like the general public is just not aware that what they may be dying in half dead and not only that,

sometimes coming under problem bro of the life we need to make sure that we're taking is not contaminated with heavy metals and where.

Lol nice and kind of thing that can be heard the a nutritional supplement especially in the,

verbal formulas that can come from china or,

india and those are always the most ridiculous manufacture sleeping at your really important,

course in medicine its first do no harm that you need to be aware of what you're giving for striving and as a consumer what you're taking.

So absolutely and just just around out my thought in terms of other clinical applications in this whole.

Brain adrenal menopause thing that we're talking about here one thing i'm noticing in my office and my practice is all do the adjustments support the journals with nutrition specifically electric langella or maybe a whole food or vitamin approach,

and for some people for some cases you know that just really isn't helping them hold their adjustments or calm down or get any kind of release of symptoms,

and one of my interests is people are always telling me that they can't sleep weather constantly waking up at night.

And i'm finding that when you address the brains and when you talk about the hypothalamus and pituitary those are actually hormonal glands that are inside our brain.

[24:29] And when you support specifically those frameworks those functions and the and a consistent not only with chiropractic adjustments but was also nutritional medicine,

what i'm finding at lisa's that i get significant results rather than just supporting the adrenal on our just wondering if you'd seen anything like that season.

[24:49] No grass and i think that part of what is going on is that we just really have adapted our bodies energy not.

Come up with what had happened in let's look at the last one hundred years what are grandparents,

were like with their lights were light and i think as women in this menopausal stage of life,

traditionally that was the time that we were slowing down we have to raise our families we were you know the life expectancy certainly wasn't what it is today and,

when,

we are in the stage of life is so different because we're still working and sometimes where we're at our high is it in our professional career many times we're also,

taking care of elderly parents are we could be possibly taking and helping,

to take care of our children and grandchildren we are having children later in life so we are doing more than we ever have at the at this point in our lives.

And as you mentioned earlier when the ovaries start,

producing last estrogen and are kind of calming down or slowing down it to regionals are what have to take over for that.

Whole process that the ovaries used to do so if we have impaired adrenal function to begin with.

[26:19] It can't really take that increased burden so those adrenal have to be optimized at all costs,

when the adrenal are impaired the one of the first places that shows up is an.

Increased education and increased ability to stay asleep so many women can't fall asleep.

But what happens is they wake up usually between three and five am and it takes about an hour and a half.

To complete the cycle of where the adrenal are kinda off at that point and they will tell you i can fall asleep just about that time,

the alarm is ready to los.

What and then repeat the cycle over and over and that's because the circadian rhythm or than normal body clock is kinda off and that's where we have to look at.

[27:17] Resetting that.

And so it kind of works off of symptoms and how are you sleeping how do you wake up in the morning how do you feel are you put fresh or do you have what we call on reflect,

refresh sleep severity of supplements along with her hectic adjustments along with a full body approach spiritually.

Calling whatever it is that you need it you that we look at for resetting that circadian rhythm so that we can restore.

Normal sleep patterns and i think that is a big part of the.

Helping to control the symptoms of menopause and specifically hot flashes.

[28:00] Absolutely susan you know i can hear the conviction that passion in your voice and our listeners should can to.

You're giving me a little bit of a chill over here is issues so exciting so you know be able to bring this empowering information to our listeners ship and to the people that we love and serve and care so much about,

one of the things i might ask,

patients do specifically when are trying to get the thirty thousand foot view of any kind of female hormone symphony or any kind of hormonal imbalance.
