The Mitochondrial Health Revolution - Protandim - what you need to know about ageing!

Sveta

[: 00:00:00

We're nowhere near as up to date with this topic as we should be. It's really, really interesting topic. So I am delighted that I've got Dr. Sveta Silverman, who's gonna be able to talk about this today. She's well versed in the products now that we've got on our website from an amazing company called Life Vantage that I've spoke about.

Before with a lady called Melanie from Canada. But we're gonna bring this out a little bit more 'cause it is so important. The mitochondrial health is so important and there's so many things that you need to know about this topic. So I'm absolutely delighted to bring you on Sveta. So thank you very much for being here on the Crystal Water Experience Podcast.

Well, thank you [: 00:01:00

Let's just make it nice. Let's start with the notion, what are the most common New Year's resolutions? And I will start answering. So the most common year's resolutions are weight loss, health, and the gym. So fun. We are going to leave the weight loss to the maybe next podcast because just to give you a little hint, life Vantage has an amazing weight management product.

ything about you hitting the [: 00:02:00

And it's interesting because Jo, in a sense, you supposed to interview me, but let me ask you a question. What did attract you to this? Why I'm pretty sure that you are very well versed in health and different aspect of proper health, so what attracted you? I. Understand that mitochondrial health is the absolute crux of where we need to be in order to improve our health outcomes.

instead of me putting detox [: 00:03:00

And this was fascinating to me, and I've gotta be honest with you, Sveta, I was like, because I'm very clean and I, and I do a lot of brilliant things. I did not expect this to do very much, but it did. It really made a difference, and especially with the collagen. So that was really surprising to me and I'm really glad I met Melanie and got the opportunity to try it.

think the outmost important [: 00:04:00

Not retro retroactive when we hit with the disease and we are popping the pills or something like that. No, the proactivity, so mitochondrial health is probably the outmost important aspect, not only of our health, but also of the proper aging. Now, so we will start not with a mitochondria, we will start with an NRF to pro tandem.

Why? Because, [: 00:05:00

So what happens? So in a sense, you clean your house, correct? You clean your car, correct? Yeah. And then you actually go buy a new car on your car, correct? Yeah. Have you bought a new [00:06:00] body? Not recently. Not recently. So, and that's a whole thing we actually neglect. To take charge of the cleaning aspect of our body and basically what is, in a sense, quote unquote unique about me, like somewhat, I'm a cell doctor, so everything to me evolves around either cellular health or cellular dis health or disease disease.

isten, they overcome so many [: 00:07:00

Because number 1. It's environment. So we use. These things constantly. I'm talking to you through the computer, through the internet, all this stuff the quality of the food. You know, even if you live in the most pristine UK farm and you know, with Yorkshire beef and you know, all these pastures and stuff, the planet is becoming dirty and dirtier.

alogy to the vacuum cleaner. [: 00:08:00

So NRF two and NRF two is, is that engraved into the cellular apparatus mechanism to turn on? 200 vacuum cleaners. Plus the problem is the older we are, the more diseased we are. The more polluted we are. The vacuum cleaners the switch is not turned on. The problem is basically the Dyson is still there.

on, so that's why to turn on [: 00:09:00

Number one, that's what we usually talk about, detoxification genes. Second category of genes is in anti-inflammatory genes, and the third category of genes are the anti-cancer genes. So that is why taking care of NRF two is absolutely critically important. What does NRF do actually do? It takes care of environmental or extracellular garbage.

n I stumbled upon Protandim, [: 00:10:00

And then, then we turn into mitochondria. Now, guys, so here's the deal. So you can boost mitochondria till the cows come home. But if the milieu of the cell is dirty. If the milleu of mitochondria is dirty, see, you're basically pouring a gold dust on the dirty walls.

the mold, removing the mold. [: 00:11:00

Does it make sense? It makes sense. There's something I want to talk to you about. So the reason why I love this formulation and there's NRF one and RF two activators is 'cause you've hit something on the head and it's when I started to detox myself like many years ago and I started looking into supplements, I quickly found that.

ind of old school knowledge. [: 00:12:00

I can see a lot of people pushing, well, you say, okay, just take some zinc and vitamin C and you know what, whatever it is a day. But their, you know, their, their gut isn't working. They're not producing serotonin because they're chronically inflamed. And this, there's a whole series of things. And what I really loved about this is.

This combination of NRF one and NRF two activators with all of those natural ingredients has a really profound effect. So you don't need a lot of this stuff to have an impact. You just need the right combination. So it's basically, you hit it on the nail. You're talking about almost like a hermetic event hermetic effect.

tant points. Do you need to, [: 00:13:00

No, no, no. It participates in your health. Without vitamin D, your micro gut is not going to work. So vitamin C is so critically important. However, what I understand on synergy, togetherness, same thing. It's like you need to take Protandim, but you also need to eat vitamin C, let's say eat your red peppers, eat your apples, eat your berries, eat your strawberries, eat your cranberries, you know, whatever.

tever has vitamin C. Because [: 00:14:00

It's cellular garbage. So the oxidative stress, all these pollutions from the outside and the financial stress and emotional stress in a family stress and blah, blah, blah. And the politics stress these days goes into the cells and the cells converted into cell. It's like physical factories, plus minus, plus minus, and plus [00:15:00] minus, plus minus operates on

the virtue of antioxidants or free radicals. And now everybody knows vitamin C is an antioxidant, right? So what is an antioxidant? Antioxidant is something that negates that free radicals nullifies it. So you know, let's say you antioxidant is minus, it gives an electron. Your free radical is a plus. It absorbs this electron and then boom, it neutralizes it.

So now the concept is to eat [: 00:16:00

The idea is to make antioxidants. That's what NRF two does. It stimulates us making our own antioxidants and let's say one of the antioxidants. Now it's, again, it's a flavor of the month, flavor of the year. It's called glutathione. Everybody talks about glutathione spends money on glutathione. Well, and the majority of this external supplement glutathione doesn't work.

You actually need to push your body to make, so NRF two turns on the genes of glutathione to make glutathione. The interesting thing about glutathione is it's actually doesn't operate without vitamin C. They go side by side, however, so just an example. So glutathione mitigate millions free radicals per second and vitamin C per C negates one free radical per second.

both to make the cell to get [: 00:17:00

So protandim contains turmeric. It doesn't contain turmeric. It contains the turmeric extract, which is curcumin. And we have a very clean formulation. It's a 90%, so our curcumin is the one that, let's say that supplemental industry considers the optimum 96% of Curcuminoids.

you do grams. You do grams. [: 00:18:00

It means that exactly what the cell needs and how the cell is going to optimize it. So that's why the composition, as you mentioned of this, five ingredients like ashwagandha milk thistle, green tea, bacopa, and turmeric, or curcumin. That's why it works in that. Basically modicum, very small amount, but synergistic way of turning on that NRF two.

That's in a sense, is it a genius? Maybe it's like hyperbole. Maybe it is a genius of that formulation. And that's why it's working because the cells, when you put a lot of stuff into the cell, the cell gets confused. Mm-hmm. But when you put exactly what the cell kinda wants, it's like, wake up, whoops.

Oh [: 00:19:00

And when you overburden your body with a lot of these. Things have fillers, haven't been properly tested, the formulation hasn't been tested. What I've noticed, especially with lots of vitamins, so I was talking to somebody about this the other week. They said, oh, this company's fantastic. I said, look, they use a third party manufacturer and all the claims they are making are as a result are are secondary claims.

d this is why I'm so excited [: 00:20:00

It's not secondary data. That's right. It's primary. Yeah. And that's exactly, that's exactly right. They, you go online, you go in PubMed. It's like you don't, you don't even go to chat, chat GPT. But chat GPT is actually awesome because chat GPT will start quoting PubMed. Yes, it does. Yeah. So you go on pubmed.gov, which is the digital library of national Institute of Health.

So basically legit for the doctors, and you start reading and you just, just do like stupid search, nothing Protandim done. You hit. I mean, if you want to go deeper and start searching NRF two, well absolutely go for it because it is what it is. But it'll give you, if you hit Protandim, it'll give you the idea.

F two activator. Nothing you [: 00:21:00

So the beautiful thing about this is this formula is the one that's tested and the thing that I'm most interested in, in is it switching on your body. So I really try and be good, a good girl, but I'm not always a good girl. And I tell you what I've noticed since taking pro tandem the, the one and the two every day, the NRF one and two every day is I can [00:22:00] get away.

I hope I've had a bad day for whatever reason. Nowhere near as bad a after effects. Now, I'm not saying that's why you should do it, everyone, but that just to me, you guys do not take pretend and go to McDonald's. Let's, no, no, no. Let's just let, just, let's just do the thing. It just, no, no, no. But you know, obviously we'll all cheat, but the idea is no, let's start to live healthy, do the proper lifestyle and stuff.

But there is no ways around it. I mean the after some, some say after 20, some say after 30, okay. Let's say at my age. I probably can claim after 40, that's a must deal. After 40, it's a must deal to start taking. Well, it's a must deal to start taking taking care of the mitochondria anytime.

n functional and integrative [: 00:23:00

She just started doing some biomarkers on her blood. And none of the doctors would say, no, no, no, you're fine. You're fine, you're fine. And she did proactively. To discover that yes, I've got oxidative stress, my mitochondria is not up to the stuff. So now guys, let's get back to the mitochondria.

Why is it so important? Well guys, so here's the deal. So I'm going to make a very blunt statement. If you mitochondria is not up to the stuff, you're not going to think period, end of story. Because you know, everybody thinks that mitochondria, it's an energy factory. Which is so true, which is so true. So let's see.

functionality of the cells. [: 00:24:00

Well, I knew, but it doesn't matter. So she claimed that ovaries are consuming and needs very high mitochondrial content and numbers because of the hormonal production. Okay, totally fine with this brain. So here's the deal. Some of the brain cells or neurons, they contain a million and a half to two millions mitochondria per cell.

now, comparing to the skin, [: 00:25:00

Now, mitochondria is not just the powerhouse. MIT mitochondria is actually the brain of the cell because. Mit, well, I usually make a joke that mitochondria is the wife and our jeans is the husband. So mitochondria is the wife tells the husband what kind of pants to pan to put on, because we always talk about jeans and stuff, how we do the jeans.

Well, guess what? [: 00:26:00

That the cell is diseased, barely functioning, or something like that. It gives a signal, it executes the command. Kill yourself or something. That is called apoptosis. Mm-hmm. So mitochondria takes charge of apoptosis, turning on the cascade. So that's an, [00:27:00] that's a third extreme because what we need, we don't need bad cells, we don't need unhealthy cells.

We don't need the zombie cells. We don't need senescent cells. So now, so now summarizing mitochondria. Powerhouse mitochondria is a cellular brain. Mitochondria is a cellular police, and on top of it, mitochondria takes care of our calcium metabolism and the heme. So basically like iron metabolism.

So now from that perspective, you probably will kind of put one under together that mitochondrial is the hardest working organelle in the cell. It's the hardest working. Bee, what does that mean? It means that through all this processes, through all this work, it makes the most free radicals in the cells, meaning that.

t's why when I told you that [: 00:28:00

Super Oxide Dismutase so NRF two turns on our super oxide dismutase. But there is that super oxide dismutase that is in mitochondria. So if your NRF two is not up to stuff and you're not turning on the SOD, so you're not cleaning your mitochondria. So now, so A, we need to clean mitochondria. B. We need, same thing.

all these reactions. We need [: 00:29:00

That's the function of NRF one. So we have NRF two to clean the cells. We have NRF one to turn on the production of making of new mitochondria, but on top of it, everything, the synergistic composition of five natural ingredients and NRF one Protandim is actually rebooting or boosting mitochondria.

eta, and my apologies that I [: 00:30:00

But I felt fine and it's 'cause I've got two teenagers, right? I've got coming up to 19 and 17 now they bounce back. I can remember being young and be able to get away with murder. Right? I told you their cells are still, that's a whole thing. The cells are still clean, their cells are still clean. You know, also now you just need to teach them how to be proactive.

So exactly. So we're trying to rewind the clock. The reason why you can't cope with things as you get older it's a lot to do with your mitochondrial health and, and it's being shut down. And so we need to reboot them. Exactly as you say. We need to have more like the biogenesis as you're talking about.

to be like as a teenager and [: 00:31:00

however, if you've still got the same kind of ability to repair as you did back in your teenagers, as in years 20, you're probably already doing it. Well done to you, but I think the majority of people go, ah, that's it. That's what getting old is, is mitochondrial health and RFK Junior's been talking about it a lot recently.

Have you, have you noticed? What's that? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He's been talking about, oh, yes. Absolutely, absolutely. We won't get into the politics, but let me just do one thing. Yeah. It it's really good that this, you know, there's absolutely, there's absolutely some very good, healthy trend in sort of, you know.

productivity, you know, it's [: 00:32:00

It's needs. I don't have two. It needs NR one. It needs mitochondria. It needs everything because there is a triangle that needs to be sustained in every corner of the triangle. Your gut slash micro gut is interconnected to your brain and an interconnected to your immune system. If any of these corners is not working, the whole triangle is not working.

So that is why, and all these three needs exactly what we were talking about and a whole lot more, but I think that's for another discussion. Yep. Let's, I would love to be able to do this with you sweater and do maybe a smaller bite sized chunks. 'cause I'd love to talk about the collagen because that is Oh, absolutely.

t. You got it. Yeah, that's, [: 00:33:00

'cause I think the GLP one activator is very important. A collagen, very important. Hundred percent. So I hope everybody listening to this really have got the message today about go and look at Mitochondrial Health. Then please look at the show notes. I'll send you a link to our website where we've got all the details of these Protandims in there.

NRF one, NRF two, activators. My thoughts are everybody, you are gonna start hearing this more and more, and with the, it's gonna start to be flooded with all these things that haven't been properly tested. This stuff. I cannot emphasize this enough. This has been tested at the highest standard, everybody, and it's not expensive.

duce me to this 'cause now I [: 00:34:00
