How many bacteria are estimated to be on planet Earth?

• 5 NONILLION…..

• That’s

5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!

“When looking for solutions, don’t see what everyone sees. See what everyone else chooses NOT to see” – Dr. Patch Adams

The Gut “rules…..”

• The body: Hippocrates was right 2,500 years ago….

• Now over 2,500 studies a year. Check out the Human Microbiome Project:

• www.HMPDACC.org Done by N.I.H. designed to explore the 100 trillion good guys.

• Prebiotics, Probiotics, Postbiotics, Immunobiotics, Phytobiotics, Virome, Fungalome, many more terms to come.

• Probiotics category should reach $45 billion by 2018. –Natural Marketing Institute 2017

We lost our way for awhile….

Modern medicine since Louis Pasteur focused all its energy on the bad guys…which compromise less than 1% of all bacteria.

01Now, in the last ten years, the mindset has shifted to promoting better populations of good bacteria into the human body.

02Being linked: the microbiome to the curse of an “overfed and undernourished” society.…Cardiometabolic Syndrome.

03The World Watch Institute reports that the number of people who are “overfed and undernourished” is at 1.2 billion, equal to those starving from lack of food.

The Metabolic connection.

Studies have shown that purified endotoxin from Escherichia coli can induce obesity and insulin-resistance phenotypes when injected into germ-free mouse models.

Endotoxin (LPS/Zonulin) producing bacteria in the intestinal tract, is associated with certain obesity-related patient groups.

There is a correlation between plasma LPS (lipopolysaccharides -postbiotic) and insulin resistance.

.

Most modern programs focus only on the results of metabolic disorder,

we need to shift focus to the cause: an unhealthy microbiome.

What no one else “sees”…

• Brain/Gut both develop from same tissue.

• One: Enteric Nervous System (ENS) Other: Central Nervous System (CNS).

• The brain-gut axis: bi-directional communication system between the (ENS) and (CNS).

• It’s more than a “GUT feeling”…it is the second brain.

Bacterial overgrowth and IBS. Dr. Brennan Spiegel. 2008.

“Beyond” happens everyday: PSYCHOBIOTICS

“Certain probiotics have been shown to balance the gut microbiota and, consequently, improve brain health.” - Dr. Ralf Jager PhD

01In fact, specific strains characterized as “psychobiotics” appear to increase levels of neurotransmitters linked to mood, such as serotonin and dopamine, or to spark production of the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) butyrate in the colon, which may ameliorate anxiety.

02Probiotics appear “to aid the response to a stressor by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol.” They help keep us calm!

Up next? Cardiobiotics?

Bacteria have been linked to heart health through several different mechanisms, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and, most prominently, through the cholesterol-lowering effects of selective strains.

Tested in dyslipidemic children aged 6 -18 years, supplementation with probiotics reduced LDL cholesterol by 8.2%, increased HDL cholesterol by 8.6%, and lowered triglycerides by 7.1%.

The 3 R’s and Fish Tank Analogy

Reset (remove) , Repair, and Replenish

wikibooks.org 2014.

Reset (remove)

• 1st R - eliminate things from body that negatively affect our health/biome.

• Environmental chemicals, pollutants, accumulated waste material in the colon, overabundance of food, beverages that promote inflammatory processes, and the wrong kind of gut bacteria.

• Bacillus Coagulans is a species that can be used to help reset ANY biome (all mammals) acutely.

2015

Repair

• 2nd R - provide nutritional support for healing/regeneration of the gut.

• Supplying body with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino’s(L-glutamine), and of course, plants. A “Rainforest in your gut!”

• Eases leaky gut reducing LPS/Zonulin.

• Plants, fiber, fermentation!

Replenish: Beneficial Probiotic Supplements

• 3rd -Help maintain beneficial microbial community by increasing beneficial population.

• Helps inhibit invasion of pathogens (through an increase in the amount of mucus secretion and in reducing gut permeability-leak).

• Bifidobacteria several studies: improves the gut barrier function and reduces intestinal endotoxin levels. They survive HCL & adhere to intestinal lining.

Everyone thinks they eat healthy!

Western diet today has 2x calories of 1965 and 75% less nutrient value. “99% of all Americans are micronutrient deficient” – Dr. Mehmet Oz MD

01“Science has tried for 6 generations to make synthetics that act like nature, they have failed”. – Healthy to 100 - Dr. Darrel Wolfe

02Nature provides everything that our bodies need to live an amazing life!

03Superfood: Is food that is functional, phytochemical based, and has a high concentration of dense nutrients.

04Whole plant based superfoods are a necessity on a daily basis!

05

Daily essential nutrients are not just “Builders” either…

1

“Essential vital nutrients are necessary to convert toxins into a form the body can eliminate, effectively.” – Univ. Wisc. Integrative Medicine Detoxification Health Publication 2014

2

Detoxification based on 3 phases (enzymes, vitamins/min./antioxidants/fibre)

3

Phase I: Enzymestransform lipid soluble toxins into water soluble toxins, in prep for phase II.

4

Phase II: 15 “hydroxy-pathways” - Liver alone: needs enzyme blend & vitamins/antioxidants (green tea)/cruciferous veggies/chlorophyll etc.) to complete transport.

5

Phase III: Fibre for proper bile flow (i.e. artichoke).

6

So if you are missing any of these daily essentials? What happens?

Orthomolecular

• Your body makes 500 quadrillion protein molecules per second….(N.I.H).

• “What protein are you eating?”

Are all vitamins “vital”?

Top brand (toxic):

• Sodium Selenite*

• Nickelous Sulfate*

• Chromic Chloride*

• Sodium Borate (Borax)*

• Cupric Oxide*

• Macro minerals only

• Chelated, coated with chemicals, dyes, and fillers -no phytonutrients

• * barred from nations drinking water by EPA –added solely based on profit

• Chemical isolates are no longer beneficial to life!

• MOST Commercial “Superfoods” contain ingredients that are not raw, but highly processed.

Super Vital Supplements:• Vital Nutrition Support – it even

says so on the label!

• Chlorophyll coated

• Some chelation necessary

• Unique macro & trace minerals

• Even Herbal and Protector Shield Proprietary Blend of antioxidant fruits!

Daily!

• How can we feel secure in knowing we can address the 7 essentials everyday for every budget? Taking Super Foods and Supplements!

• Just look at these easy to do, simple daily metabolic changers, and high quality nutrients:

Suggestions:

• NATURE’S HARVEST (Green Zone, Smart Meal, Natures Gold, Super Trio)

• PROBIOTIC 11 (Acid./Bifid, probx. power etc.)

• LOCLO (Psyllium Hulls, Seeds, etc.)

How “vital” is Harvest?

• Nutrient dense –high phytonutrient/high vitality.

• 49 green, whole, and super food ingredients.

• 250 mg. ceremonial grade Matcha per serving (powerful EGCG antioxidant)!!

• Vegan friendly, Non-GMO, Gluten free!

• Orthomolecular (right molecule, right protein)

• Definition of vital Energy: “pertaining to or necessary for life”. Remember proteins are similar to living molecules. “What’s in your smoothie”?

• Stock number #3090-6

In conclusion

• “See what everyone else chooses NOT to see”.

• Hippocrates was right! Choice matters/make smart DECISIONS.

• 1-3 people you know, are already in metabolic disorder (2-3 by 2050).

• Apply 3 “R”s. Reset, Repair, Replenish.

• May your fish tank be as beautiful as it can be!

• Thank you.
