This new study found that sleep apnea is linked to poor memory and cognitive issues. This shouldn’t come as a surprise; sleep apnea reduces the amount of oxygen available to the brain and other tissues in the body. Sleep apnea affects almost 10% of women and 25% of adults in the U.S. and up to 60% of people over 65. Some of the most common signs of sleep apnea are loud snoring, breathing pauses (or gasping for air) during sleep, daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and dry mouth upon awakening. If you have any of these symptoms, it’s important to be tested immediately. Several validated devices can now be used to test for sleep apnea at home (without visiting a sleep clinic). Treating sleep apnea when present can be a game changer, as it’s associated with everything from diabetes to heart problems to cognitive disorders. #sleepapnea #memory #cognitivefunction

Earlier this week, I shared the exciting research on curcumin for supporting bone health. But curcumin's benefits don't stop there. Especially when it's combined with two other powerhouse nutrients to support skeletal health. Meet Bio-Avail Omega+ from Adapt Naturals: a unique formula that delivers the most bioavailable curcumin on the market, along with ultra-pure fish oil and black seed oil. Why this dynamic trio? Let's break it down: 1.Omega-3s (EPA & DHA): These long-chain fatty acids have been shown to increase collagen production, protect against UV damage, and improve skin hydration and elasticity. All crucial for fighting the wrinkles, dryness, and hair loss that often come with aging bones. 🐟💧 2.Black seed oil: This ancient remedy is a true gem for bone health. It promotes healthy bone formation and remodeling, speeds healing, and strengthens bones 🌱🩹 3.NovaSol curcumin: NovaSol is a game-changer when it comes to bioavailability. It achieves 185x higher blood levels than standard curcumin! That translates to better results for supporting bone health and reducing joint discomfort. 🌿⚡ But the synergy is where the real magic happens. These nutrients enhance each other's absorption and amplify their effects—meaning you get far greater results than taking any of them alone. The best part? You get all three in just two easy-to-swallow soft gels per day. No more handfuls of pills! 💊👎 Click the link below or go to adaptnaturals.com/omega to learn more about Bio-Avail Omega+ and read the dozens of glowing reviews. #bonesupport #bonehealth #healthybones #adaptnaturals

Black seed oil (BSO) is a remarkable compound known for its metabolic, cardiovascular, and brain health benefits. While it’s not typically considered a sleep aid, in my clinical practice I noticed that it often had this effect when I prescribed it to patients. So, I wasn’t surprised to see this new study confirming this. Researchers found that taking BSO for seven days improved sleep quality and efficiency in people with non-restorative sleep patterns. Specifically, it increased sleep efficiency and total sleep time, and decreased sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and the duration of wakefulness after sleep onset. Side effects were minimal. This suggests BSO is more effective than most sleep meds with fewer side effects! #blackseedoil #sleep #sleeptips

What if I told you there was a natural compound that could dramatically strengthen your bones and protect your joints as you age? Calcium, vitamin D & K2, and collagen are well-established bone health nutrients. But most people aren’t aware of one of the biggest powerhouses for lifelong bone health: curcumin! Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric, and a wealth of studies show it can: ✅ Increase bone formation ✅ Reduce bone loss ✅ Improve osteoarthritis symptoms But there's a catch: curcumin is very poorly absorbed. Even supplements containing "regular" curcumin don't cut it. 🙅♂️ That's where NovaSol curcumin comes in. It uses cutting-edge tech to boost absorption up to 185x! 🚀 In one study, NovaSol significantly increased bone density in postmenopausal women in just 24 weeks. Discover the science behind this breakthrough bone-supporting nutrient in my latest article. You'll learn: - The detailed mechanisms behind curcumin's bone and joint benefits - Why bioavailability is make-or-break for results - How to use curcumin in a holistic bone health plan - And much more...

New research has revealed that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), sugars found in breast milk, could be a game-changer for repairing the gut microbiome and boosting immunity. These HMOs feed beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium infantis, which have potent anti-inflammatory effects. Companies are testing HMOs, sometimes combined with B. infantis, in immunocompromised adults to restore a damaged microbiome, reduce infections, and get people off antibiotics. While most studies have focused on human milk, bovine colostrum also contains high concentrations of oligosaccharides and has been shown to restore the integrity of the intestinal lining and repair the microbiome. See my article, Colostrum: “Liquid Gold” for Gut and Immune Health, here for more on how colostrum supports the gut-immune axis: https://bit.ly/3TaG2EY #guthealth #immunity #colostrum
