vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Welcome to Vitality Radio. I'm Jared St. Clair. I'm your host each and every week, and I'm really excited for today's show. I know I say that a lot and it's because it's true. I'm always excited for this show, but today is a little bit different because, uh, sometimes I'm able to grab a guest that I've would would've loved to have on lots of times, have never been able to make it work for whatever reason.
Uh, and someone that I've admired for a long, long time, and that is one of, tho, this is one of those shows I met. Lady, I won't tell you who she is just yet. Um, in my store, I think somewhere around 25 years ago, she came in with a couple of friends of mine that, uh, were reps, um, are still my reps, uh, Jeff and Janine.
And they introduced her and a brand, uh, that she had developed back then. And we brought in the brand and we had a lot of success with the brand. And it was a very unique brand because it was one of the first things that we ever [00:01:00] sold. Solely, um, designed to help improve gut health and regularity and bloating and gassiness and constipation and all the different things that people deal with.
And we had great success with this amazing product line. And, and ever since then, I've admired the work of my next guest. Her name is Brenda Watson. She's been doing this for something like 30 years. Uh, she is a, um, her. Focus is digestive health. If you listen to vitality radio ever, you know, I focus on digestive health an awful lot too.
We both agree that it all kind of starts and ends in the gut. Uh, but she's also authored seven books. She's a New York Times bestselling author. Uh, she has been on p b s six different times with digestive health shows, and she has a brand new one coming up in March called, Hope gut check. Hope for Ultimate Health.
And uh, I'd like to welcome Brenda Watson to Vitality Radio.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Oh, thank you. I'm so happy to [00:02:00] be here. I am. I make, I love doing this
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, I'm excited to have you. This is gonna be a fascinating conversation, but thankfully we did have 15 or 20 minutes to talk before, and I got a feel for, you know, some of the things that, that you're going to talk about. And I, I can already tell you, my listeners will be fascinated. So the first question I have, because it's actually, it's the question I ask most of my guests for the, uh, when I interview 'em the first time, and that is, how the heck did you get into health and nutrition?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Yeah, well, It wasn't something that I woke up after I got through high school and thought, this is what I'm gonna go into in my life. , it wasn't, you know, um, what happened to me is I had a lot of health problems and, uh, and uh, I had 'em due to, I didn't know this at the time, but I had them. Due to, um, too many antibiotics as a child because I was, um, born in the early fifties.
And, uh, back [00:03:00] then that was the antibiotic revolution and, um, I didn't know anything about. digestive problems. But I did know, and my mother used to say to everyone, this is my, this is my daughter Brenda, and she's very sickly, you know, but, but the, the part of it being is I had so many antibiotics. Every time I stubbed my toe, I was getting an antibiotic.
So, What happened is bef that that's starting at like two years old. So by the time I'm actually in the first grade, I'm having migraine headaches. I lost most of my hair, uh, by
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Me too.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: yeah, that's too funny.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: when I was your age though.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I lost my hair. I started losing my hair when I was probably in like going into, you know, late elementary school. And uh, and they would [00:04:00] shoot steroids in my. In my head and do these lights and stuff like that. And, uh, so my health problems was a saga all the way through, uh, high school and chronic fatigue and all that.
And I didn't, I had no idea. I'm a little southern girl from North Carolina and I didn't know anything about bowel movements or going, you know, going to the bathroom or anything like that. So what happened is with me is, I just went the way of the world, you know what I mean? I thought that, you know, I ate well relatively to the world, and of course we didn't know everything we know now.
And um, and then as I got into my 20, I had my l my last child at 24. And um, and then it just got so much worse and, um, time goes on and I walked into a health food store one [00:05:00] day and I said, I'm so, I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired, like, can you help me? Like, I don't know what to do. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Traditional medicine hasn't helped me. Like I just, I, I, I can't even get up in the morning. I'm so fatigued. So anyway, I went to then, um, and started just reading books. You know, at that point in time, you know, you had Dr. Bernard Jensen and some of the old timers and, um, we had this center, uh, in Florida.
Now I'm from in North Carolina originally, but I was living in Florida and we had this center down there, and Dr. Jensen used to come and teach and I was just like, oh, oh my God, she's coming to teach. I'm gonna be there. So anyway, as you know, time went on. I went through life changes and I decided. , you know, every state's different in licensing and what they allow, you [00:06:00] know, for people to do, whether it's a nutritionist, a naturepath, or whatever.
Cuz I've got all those, I'm a naturepath, I'm a na a nutritionist. So what I did was I went, I just wanna get better. For me. For me, I had no idea that I would you. enter the world of gut health. And so I started changing my diet. And back then what we did was, Jared, we juiced a lot. I juiced a lot, I changed my diet, my lifestyle, and I got better.
And I felt like, yay, you know, I wanna shout this to the rooftops. So I went back to school, uh, in the late 80. and I started studying nutrition. What was there at the time I studied nutrition. And I was just very fortunate to be at the right place at the right time. And I think that's what happens to most of us.
Most of us that find that natural path that we, you know, we find it and we go, wow, how do we end up [00:07:00] here? So I went back to school and I wanted to help others, so I went to nutrition school and in the state of Florida, um, I was, you know, Studied, um, acupuncturist, uh, colon therapist, CLOs. I did all of this stuff, went to school, and then I had this lady who had a clinic here in my area and she, I said, I really love to work under you like an apprentice.
And that's what I did. I worked under her for a couple of years, and then in the early nineties, I had my own natural health clinics. And let me tell you something, there's nothing like working in the trench.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: that point in time, a lot of the MDs were transitioning into what we call then alternative health.
And so I was just lucky that I got to be able to work with them. And so I worked in a clinic for. Years. And then I opened my own clinics and I [00:08:00] was a, uh, I worked for the state of Florida and I taught anatomy physiology for the state of Florida to nurses and, uh, and you know, massage therapist and acupuncturist because, I had, you know, risen to that point.
And so, um, I had five natural health clinics in the state of Florida in the early nineties. I went to school for herbology because at that time, Jared, remember you've been here a long time. You didn't go into a store and see multiple herb formula. you see, no. You went in and you saw either Sony seven Clay, or you saw Siia seeds, or you saw all these things and there was nothing there to help people.
And so the one thing that I had a large clientele was with women. And uh, women would go in and they would get cilium, for example, and so [00:09:00] bloated, and so c. And so once I began to start st. Start studying herbs, then I started formulating herbs myself for the gut, like slippery elm and marshmallow, you know, and I never used much of cascara or Senna in my formulas for, for elimination, but, , you know, and flax, I was the very first person to blame, to bring flax fiber onto the market because I could not give those women cilium fiber anymore.
It was gas and bloy and, you know, and all that. So anyway, uh, , my husband said to me one time, he said, are you ever gonna put your formula in a store? And I went, heavens. You kidding me? And then this store called me. I'll never forget this, Jared called me in South Florida in nap down in Naples, and he said, Brenda, we have so many customers [00:10:00] here that want to talk about gut health.
Now this is in 93.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Mm-hmm.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: And I'm like, no way. No way am I getting up in front of a bunch of people and talking about constipation. , but you know what, Jared, I did it. I sweated you, you would've seen me that night. I was pouring sweat, right? But like 30 people showed up and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is a real issue.
So anyway, I, I learned to speak. Publicly at that point in time. And then I started to formulate more products. Parasite formulas, yeast formulas. I was really good friends with, uh, Dr. Uh, William Crook, who, you know, very much discovered or ent trusts up in Tennessee who discovered candida overgrowth in women.
And we were, you know, I was part of all that collective energy and beautiful alignment with the. What was happening in our [00:11:00] world with the gut, but I still didn't have that concept. I don't think, Jared, that the gut was the contributing factor to everything. But what I knew from myself and what I knew from the clinic and what I knew from my clients was once I got their gut straightened out, they got better.
whether it was eczema, whether it was brain fog, whether it was being overweight, whatever arthritis, whatever it was, they began to get better once I could get their gut straightened out. And so that went on. And then I started putting formulas, um, uh, herbal formulas in the stores in 1996. And that's how I started.
And then I began to get, And speak to larger groups of people all across the country and write more books. I wrote, I think I have seven or eight books now, and in 2004, um, I went to PBS and I said, I just have this really good idea, [00:12:00] like I want to come in and do a show on gut health. I, I, I should. They looked at me like I had three heads. They're like, I'm like, yeah. I said, your audience is baby boomers. Do you realize the GI problems that they have? And they went, Brenda, no way. First of all, you cannot say the word gut on tv ever. It's like, Jerry, can you believe it now what we say on tv? And they went, you can't say gut on tv. I went,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: hilarious.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Okay.
And then they said, and the other thing is, you know, we just don't have that many women be successful. Well, that lit my fire, right? Like, really? Okay. So anyway, I came back to them two or three times. I didn't get discouraged. You know, they say, you know, if you don't [00:13:00] fail, you never learn. And uh, I came back to 'em two or three times.
I said, okay. So I won't say gut Can I do something called the Hope Formula, which is high fiber, omega-3 oils, probiotics, and enzymes, and then went, okay, well we, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll look at that. You know, we'll look at that. Well come to find out, when I did that show, I think that was in oh four. It was a huge success.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Yeah.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: This coming march is the, Uh, gut check.
We call it gut check, but it's the hope formula that I've taken and upgraded to what we know now scientifically, which we didn't know then. So anyway, that was, you know, my start into the p b S world in, you know, into help food stores and Jared, I, I, I was so passionate about helping people. Uh, you know, I, uh, Trump threw every health [00:14:00] food stores.
All over the, uh, uh, north America, Canada too. And I just wanted to help people. I just wanted to help people and I knew intuitively that the gut was a core. I didn't know it like we know it today with the Microbiome Project and what the National Institutes of Health had funded, the microbiologist, but I did know that I, I had something there.
I knew that. There was, there was really what you wanna call it. There was, there was stuff there, but most of the people in the world today that are on even, uh, social media or or whatever, that they looked at me as being weird back then. You know what I mean?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I don't think you're doing it right. If you're not looked at as being weird, I'm okay with that.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I like that. Yeah, that's good. And so I, I just, you know, I got started and I, and, and I call my [00:15:00] father. I'll never forget, call my father and say, dad, I am going in to the digestive business. And he went, what is that? And I said, well, you know, I have a clinic. We do detoxification and colonics and all that.
Are you crazy No, I'm not crazy. And so anyway, that was the start, and I think part of it was the inspiration I had for myself, but the inspiration that I saw when people got better, and I know that's what you see. See, I look at health boosters like this. You're in the trench. right? It's like, okay, so it's like this.
You have someone that goes to school, I don't care. It could be an, uh, acupuncturist, a naturopathic nutritionist. If they don't ever work clinically, you, you can't [00:16:00] take the book knowledge and apply that. if you haven't experienced it. So when I stayed in a clinic for seven years, right? And I worked for seven years in with MDs who were, who were also getting into alternative health, I consider that the trenches.
I consider that because I'm with the actual person that's coming back and saying, this isn't working for me, this is working for me. You know what I mean? Jared, you had to, you have to have that.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, I always say that the ultimate wild card health is the person that is on the program, right? The person you're giving the supplement to, because their history isn't your history and their microbiome isn't their sister's microbiome. And there's all these different variables that matter. And unless you're there with the individual and then the next individual and the next one after that, it's hard to get all the nuance.
Of how to help [00:17:00] people. And I always la tell people all the time, cuz you know, I've had this show for 15 years. I've had the, the store's been in business for 45. I've owned it for almost 30 years. I've been dealing with individuals on a regular basis every single day forever. and people ask, you know, well, what are your credentials?
And I say, I'm Jared St. Clair. I don't have any initials. I'm not even a junior. But I do feel that the time that I've spent in the store with thousands of people over the years gives me some insight that is pretty unique. Right. And so I, I agree with exactly what you're saying, that those seven years are invaluable.
And I'm sure it's how you came with
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: invaluable. You, you experience the relationship that you get with your customer. and their problem and you work 'em through their problem. You know what I mean? And sometimes Jerry, that's hard. And you know it
Cause sometimes people become attached to their problem. You have to really look at that too.
Like
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: First, for [00:18:00] sure. Yep. I I hear you.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: sure. But the point of it is, is I did. Thousands and thousands of lectures, and I am the kind of person that if I saw, you know, they line up after a lecture and they wanna talk to you, and I never left a lecture. It may be sometimes midnight. I talk to every single person because I wanted to make sure that I got that person hope.
you know what I mean? That I had, that I gave that person something they could take with them, because I knew for myself, I didn't have that. The only thing I had is I had. that little teeny bit at that point in time and we're talking in the eighties and, and, uh, and Dr. Jensen and all those, I had that, those points of, you know, that I had help [00:19:00] with, but there was nothing that grew the digestive care arena except for me, 15 years on that road.
And I stayed. One weekend, one week out, one weekend. One week out for 17 years.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Wow.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: for 17 years I
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Yeah, that's a a lot of experience and there's incredible value in that. So then here's the thing, Brenda, it is interesting cuz you're talking a long time ago in, in terms of. , the natural products industry, right. That was, I wouldn't say it was in its infancy back then, but maybe it was in its adolescence.
Right. I mean, it's grown a lot since then. And the same could be said about probiotic research and microbiome research. It was very much in its infancy back then. I mean, you, you said before we started the same thing. I tell people, I remember when there was just something called acidophilus. Right. That, and, and we didn't, there wasn't a word that I'm aware.
Called probiotic. There wasn't [00:20:00] prebiotic. Now people are talking about postbiotics. None of that stuff was even in the vernacular. Back then. We had L dot acidophilus and that's what we had, right? . And then we had L dot Bulgaricus a little after that and a few other ones that popped up. And now you have a product in the Vital Planet line that has a hundred different strain.
Of good guys if you want to call 'em that. And honestly, I don't, I mean, I don't know how you feel about it, but I don't know that I ever thought I would see a day where there was a product that had a hundred strains in it. That's, uh, you know, back then it was almost inconceivable.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, here's why. Because we didn't have science that had the money to go out and look at the different, what do you wanna call 'em? The tribes, or look at, okay. So first of all, looking at us as a Western society and say, okay, what's in that microbiome? And. But then when the money came, , you know, [00:21:00] and they started being able to go out and study these strains, we, we thought that there literally, we thought there was a strain, one strain of lacto Aus alus, and it did everything.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right. Now we've identified 260 different strain. Lactus Alus. And here's the point. The point is is, and there's a, I have a book called, um, the Gut Extinction. And if they come to your store, give 'em one, they're totally free. What?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: book, by the way. I love it.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, thank you. And what they did, what we, we know now is. We know that one of the things I used to lecture with a doctor who was brilliant, and he was my co-author on all the books.
He died last year, but he was my co-author on all the books, and we used to teach [00:22:00] doctors what probiotics did. That's why I have those eight primary purposes that will, and so it was so funny, Jared, because. He would come up with the most crazy things. We'd be in front of a, a, a, a group of people lecturing and I'll go, where did he get that
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Mm-hmm.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I mean, like, where did he get that? But he was so brilliant. He was brilliant. And one of the things he used to tell me was Bacteria talk to each other. And I was like, Well come to find out, if you look in the gut extinction book, the, the, the Bonnie Bar, Bonnie Bar Bartlett, who is the microbiologist at the University of or Oregon, took the octopus.
And what they were trying to figure out, Jared, was how bacteria could make bioluminescence. Okay. So [00:23:00] what they found was if you had one bacteria, and I know people know what bioluminescence is, it's like a firefly, or it's like, you know, people go out that dive and stuff and they see the bioluminescence in the.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: know what I mean? That's caused by bacteria. Okay. So when Dr. Smith used to say to me, Brenda Bacteria talked to each other, I would say, okay, really? Well, they took the bobtail squid from Hawaii and what they did was they, they looked at this bobtail squid and they went, how does this illuminate this whole water?
Okay. So what they couldn't do, Jared, is they couldn't take one bacteria and do it, and that's what became very interesting to them. But what they could do collectively to bacteria, because they're a team,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: that's what I tell people. That's why we have all [00:24:00] these strains because. When they looked at the bobtail squid in Hawaii, they went, there's no way that one.
And really the original studies on this, Jared, came from a guy in the early 19 hundreds who was studying, uh, uh, staphyloccus pneumonia. How did that not, you know, replicate itself when it was just, Okay, so what they did was with the bobtail squid, and this is in the book if you want the book. Jared's got the book, and what they did was they went, oh my gosh.
This is a team effort and this is what I try to tell people with these strains. Okay? One strain may be very good at producing, believe it or not. Vitamins B and K. Another strain is, is good at, uh, eradicating pathogens, like for example, covid. Okay. Another, uh, strain [00:25:00] is good at the i b s. Another strain is good at this, but they're not all good at everything.
And that's where we come in as human beings because we can understand that, you know, that in a. , you have to have a team of people. Some are good at this, some are good at that, some are good at this, right? However, no one's good at everything and neither are bacteria. So when you collectively start looking at, we've lost all these strains, and that's why we're sick, and that's why these children are sick, and that's why we have food sensitivities and peanut allergies and all this stuff going on.
We've lost the strains.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So let's explore that just a minute, because I think that might be pretty new to a lot of people listening. So we've lost the strains. Um, what, what, what have we lost? How do we know we've lost them? Uh, can we get 'em back? I guess those would be the [00:26:00] questions.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: well, the point of it is, We're, what they're trying to do is get the ones we've lost and put 'em in the strain banks, like a seed bank they're doing now with seed banks in the Scandinavian countries. They've gone to some of these, uh, hunter gatherer groups and found strains because they, they eat 60 grams of fiber a day.
So remember this, that the prebiotic fiber is what's producing the. the probiotics and, and more ple, more plethora of probiotics. So what we're finding out is the strains that we're losing we're they're trying to put them in seed banks because we're, they're gone if we don't try to rescue them from these, these tribes around the world.
And that's what's happening. So when, when I come in and I say, okay, I'm giving you 60 strain. . Okay. They're going, Hmm, 60 strains. Why do I need that? Because [00:27:00] every strain doesn't do the same thing.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: every strain doesn't have the health benefit. The what the Microbiome Project was is, and I did like, I did Skinny Gut Diet, skinny Gut Diet back in 2015 was where I took, I took 10 people for six months and I balanced their microbiome and they lost weight because some bacteria create weight loss. And I knew how to do it with the food.
So the point of it is, is we've got to get this across to the people because when I first came out with the ultimate floor of 50 billion Pot, oh, she's crazy. She's crazy. Now I'm coming out with 60 strains or a hundred strains, which is our most potent product, and I don't know that I can get more than a hundred.
I'm having to go to Czechoslovakia in. [00:28:00] and a lot of other places. Now, I can't get all the strains here in the US so we, we individually select these strains because they all have health benefits, Jared, and if you don't put those back in, you see what I mean? You're not gonna be able to create the microbial footprint we were born with.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So then the question I have that I've, I've had for a long time, and I'm very curious what your answer's gonna be, so we know. Uh, and, and correct me if I'm wrong, if I'm, if I'm telling you any research I've read that you think I've, I've got it wrong, I'm curious. But we know that there are well over a thousand strains that, um, I guess reside belong in a healthy microbiome.
I've heard people say it's two or 3000.
I don't know. I don't know what your number is. Um, but let's just say for, for simple math, let's just say there's supposed to be a thousand. Okay. And let's say that like you, uh, we have an infant who was [00:29:00] given multiple antibiotics unlike you, uh, in your youth. Uh, now we also have that same infant being inundated with antibacterial everything.
And glyphosate, which is a human antibiotic and all of these other things, right? So the attack is real. Like if you don't take an antibiotic, you're still getting antibiotics, right? So people, you know, you say, well, I walked into a health food store back in the eighties and said, help me figure this out.
Well, people are still doing that in 2023, right? With the exact same types of symptoms that you were dealing with. And so then the question is, let's, is it possible, I'm gonna ask you your opinion on this first. Is it possible that some of those people walking into Vitality, nutrition maybe only have a few hundred strains left?
Does that happen? Okay,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Absolutely
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: so that's happen.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Absolutely
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So then what you've done, if I'm understanding you correctly, cuz I really wanna make sure people understand this, you've got a hundred strain, human, human [00:30:00] strain, probiotic formula that are handpicked strains because it sounds like you're trying to give as much, not just diversity of strains, but diversity of tasks that these strains are completing within the body.
Right?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Yeah.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So, but what about the missing six or 700 or 2000 strains? Is it, can we get those back? Do we need them back if we have a diverse enough few hundred strains that are able to handle all these tasks?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I, I think that we'll find that out. Jared, I don't know if we know the answer to that right away, but I'm here. Right on. You're right on track there. What we're trying to do is, I think now with the microbiologist is, okay, we have gone and sourced. , all these strains, and we have every single strain in the vital flora that has been clinically studied to any degree, N C F M H A 1 22.
All of them, they're all in there. Okay? [00:31:00] So what we, what changes anything in the microbiome is our geographical, uh, where we live. Obviously we'll change that and generationally, so what, so let, let me go back a minute to what Stanford did. When Stanford came in and they said, why are we missing these strains?
Then of course they go to rat studies because that's exactly what they have to do. So what they did is they took a, a wild mouse that ate a wild diet and the diversity was like, wow. They brought them inside in a lab, high fat, high sugar. You know, low fiber diets and generationally, okay, it got worse and worse and worse.
Now, here's something very interesting that I think people need to know. I was born with an autoimmune, uh, problem. I passed that on to my daughter. Okay? Now. I didn't know [00:32:00] any better. I didn't know anything different then none of us did in, you know, 1970s,
Right,
However, my grandchildren see, here's what people is a beauty thing that people need to understand.
You can change it by taking a probiotic with all these strains. Every day you have to do it. It's like a multivitamin. I call it the multivitamin of the gut. My granddaughter is 14. And, and 11, they've never had an antibiotic. You know why? Now they've had croup, they've had all these other things. They've had a very smart, I'm not saying they didn't go to a doctor.
They have a great pediatrician. But the point of it is, Jared, they have the opportunity now to have a microbiome. And a immune uh, system that's so much better than my [00:33:00] daughters or mine. Do you see what I mean? Cause we had the. You know, we had the, the noodle here to start them. You know, on these probios, my grandchildren take the, I take the, uh, if you look at the, um, ultimate flora, the, the ultimate, sorry, the ultimate flora.
Uh, 60 billion, God, I couldn't do that. The ultimate floor is 60 billion. My granddaughters take one of those every.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Mm.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I mean, people don't understand that. So going back to what you're saying, if there are all of these strains that we cannot regain, . What we have to understand intelligently is I can go and source a hundred.
I know I'm trying to source 150. I don't know I can do it yet. I'm working on it,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: All right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: but continually [00:34:00] putting that in. Especially for our autoimmune people. My autoimmune genes were turned on many years ago. And here's the other piece of this, people coming into your store that have autoimmune issues. The o once the autoimmune, uh, uh, gene is turned on, or the a, ana, what do you want?
Auto, uh, anti-nuclear antigen. What? I don't wanna get complicated, but, um, once that's turned on, it's never turned off. You manage it. . Okay, so what you want to to tell them is this is just like taking your multivitamin right every day because you turned on your autoimmune genes. However it was for you, you know what I mean?
I don't know. You know, for me, I know what it was. I know it was antibiotics. I know that I, you know, what happened with me? So what we have to start educating people on is the [00:35:00] probiotic, is the multivitamin for the gut, and, and some of these strains will colonize, okay, look, To the gut lining grow out. Some of them are transient.
Here's the point. Transient ones do the same thing as they're passing through. They're making vitamins B and K, they're, they're making, uh, they're making the autoimmune, uh, system. They're helping the leaky gut. They're helping all of these things. So just because something doesn't colonize. . It's like a spore.
Think about it this way. You were, we were talking about spores before.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Mm-hmm.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Spores are the same thing. They're not gonna colon, they're gonna pass through and when they pass through, they're doing their job. So are a lot of this, so is a lot of this lactic acid bacteria, it's not gonna all colonize. But as it moves through you and out through the bowel movement, [00:36:00] it's doing its job.
And that's why people feel a difference with our formula, with the vital flora, because we've got these strains in there and they're doing the different things that we need, the gut brain connection, serotonin nor uh, norrine, epinephrine, you know, all of these things that's happening that the, that the gut brain connection does.
So our job. as in your job as an educator, your job as a store, um, is to give people the information that can make them better. Jared, and we now have the science that tells us, okay, the gut is going to become extinct if we don't do something.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right. Okay. So I, I love that explanation. I think it makes a lot of sense, and I think it's gonna answer some questions for a lot of people. So let's talk about the, the rest of the story, because we've, we've talked about probiotics, we've talked about the number of [00:37:00] strains, even touched a little bit on spores, which I've talked about a lot on vitality radio and the human strains and transient strains.
I love all of that. But your hope program is H O P E, uh, in case people aren't hearing it correctly. And it's high fiber, right? It's omega3. I have something called my, my Vital five that I talk about all the time, and, and Omega3 is in there and probiotics are in there, and digestive enzymes are in there.
And so we have o p E, uh, are all part of my Vital five as well. I also have magnesium in there, and I have a
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: That's great. I love that. That's great.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So, so we all have our, uh, you know, kind of our way of trying to help people figure all this stuff out. But one thing that, frankly I haven't talked a ton about on Vitality Radio that I want to touch on, uh, quite a bit here, uh, in the time we have left, is that h so let's talk about high fiber and y specifically the fibers that you like to recommend matter when it comes to boosting our microbiome and our overall.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, Jared, there's so much [00:38:00] confusion on fiber and I gotta tell you, even my mother-in-law who the other day I wanted to go, I'm going to do this very quickly if she doesn't understand me. Right? So, just joking. But, um, people have this perception about fiber that is only to make you poop.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Okay, this is what, I'm gonna change this,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Okay,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I'm
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: this is your mission.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: This is my mission
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: All right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: my new mission. Okay, and the way this came about, this high fiber Omega-3 PRO probiotics and enzymes was back to my doctor and we were writing the book Gut Solutions. , right. And I was doing the, it's a, it's a, it's a reference book, you know, it got, starts with Barrett esophagus and goes all the way through all the different conditions.
And I'm writing up all the, uh, recommended, uh, nutritional programs for people, diet and all that. And Dr. Smith is a, [00:39:00] is just a beautiful Saul. Well, he's calling some university to ask this doctor about some. Thing. I'm like, Leonard, I don't wanna hear about that. I just wanna do this. So, and then I turned around to him about one day, about halfway into it, and I went, you know what? Every remedy for everything that I'm writing is high fiber, omega-3 oils, probiotics, and enzymes. And we started laughing and he said, oh, that's Pope. And I'm like, That's not a good, that's not a good answer, So we went to high fiber, so now we're moving into another arena. Like with the strain diversity with our probiotics.
Now what I'm gonna start doing is defining fiber, Jared, because people, the conception is okay. [00:40:00] Some fibers are good for constipation. You're insoluble fibers. So if you take the sponge, which I love, the sponge, the greens, and the yellow part of the sponge, the green part is the, the bulk. You know, you're bulking, like your grandmother said, eat a brand muffin and get that bulk.
You know what I mean? And then the yellow part of the sponge is to soak up the soluble. So what I'm gonna do is define the differences. So some people now, now, I'll tell you what I have found in the last couple of years, I never had as many people with diarrhea as I do. a lot of people with diarrhea. Now, if you have diarrhea, You need a soluble fiber, the yellow part of the sponge that soaks up, and we've got that now in our new Hope uh, kit, which is the fiber 35.
This is all pre it's, it's a prebiotic fiber. And then I have the [00:41:00] vital fiber, which is like the vital fiber is the green part of the sponge. And what that does is it gives you bulk. So that's good for c. Right now, normal people who just want fiber need both. Okay? But if they're having a problem with constipation over here, you need the insoluble, or they're having a problem with, uh, you know, high cholesterol, blood sugar, uh, you know, diarrhea.
They need the soluble. So I'm gonna start, I'm defining that now
because people are so confused over it.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, right, cuz it's fiber isn't just fiber. Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: It isn't. It isn't.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: acidophilus isn't just Acidophils
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: exactly. And the other thing, Jared, that's so interesting is when they did the microbiome studies, they started saying, guess what? All of the bacteria don't like the same food.
Who to [00:42:00] thunk? I don't like the same food that you like, and you don't like the same food that he likes, and blah, blah. So what we have now found out is in the prebiotic fiber world, all the bacteria don't like the same prebiotic fiber. That's what we've got, the 35 different fibers in there. And then a clinical study came out with the American, uh, gut Association and what they found out was that you deeded 35 grams of fiber a day, which I wrote that book many years ago.
That was a New York Times bestseller, 35 grams of fiber a day from 35 sources a week. Now think about that. And that's what's in this show, the gut check, where I explain to people, look, there's no one I cannot eat that. I can't chew that much, right? I can't. I just can't chew that much. So we've got two aspects here.
We wanna [00:43:00] feed the good bacteria. with different food sources. If a person happens to have, and I'll have another formula, happens to have a lot of the diarrhea, we wanna stop that right, with a soluble fiber. . If they're constipated, then we wanna go to the Bible vital fiber, which is the peelings of the vegetables, like the apple peeling or the zucchini peeling, you know, it's the, it's the bulking that we get.
So we're what we're gonna start doing here at Vital Planet. It was going to, we're gonna start defining fiber because it's so confusing. It's so confus.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: it is, it's, it's a confusing topic and it's not a topic, I don't think that gets talked about a whole lot. And there's, and I think there's some controversy about it out there too. Everybody has their own opinion. Um, I am, I am interested though, just to make sure that our. Uh, my listeners are understanding.
So you've got the vital fiber, which is the one that would be for bulk for people that are dealing with constipation, the one that is for the prebiotic [00:44:00] benefits and
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: is it five or 35?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: VI fiber 35. Okay. And, and then I thought you mentioned that. Are you coming up with a another fiber besides
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I will do a 50 50 blend.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Okay. All right.
But that's not available
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I, I can't, I can only do what I can do
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Sure, no, I get it.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: so what I wanna do is I wanna do a 50 50 blend for normal people that just want the fiber,
you know,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: never met any normal people. So
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, you know, the thing of it is, is I did this in the show. You'll see I did a, like a little short interview with a, with a GI doctor on in the show, which was amazing. 30,000. He's done 30,000 colonoscopies. . That's a lot.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: That's
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: And when I started talking to him, you know, I interviewed him for the P b S show and I said, Dr.
On what do you see? Like if you could say the number one thing, number one thing that you're seeing, it's fiber. [00:45:00] It's fiber. We need fiber to feed the good guys, the good bacterias. What I'm saying by that, we need fiber to give the bulk because your colon's a muscle. Think of it, if you put a weight on your arm and you pushed against it, your arm gets bigger.
Well, the same thing happens in the colon. If you put bulk in there, it's naturally gonna contract, right? And push against that bulk if you don't have that bulk there. The, I, I gotta tell you an interesting story. A friend of mine son is in Maine, and, uh, he very young. I'm talking 36 years old. And, um, he has, , infection all down into the latter part of the lower part of the sigmoid colon. Do you know what his doctor told him when he let him go? I want you to take [00:46:00] 45 grams a day of supplemental fiber.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Wow.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I was like, oh my gosh, I can't believe that you don't even hear that. You know what I mean? We're talking, you know, most of 'em go say, oh, go home and eat a high fiber diet, blah.
You know, this Jared, people don't know what that means. They don't have a clue what that means,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: you
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, and like you said, not all fibers created equal, uh, in terms of, you know, if you, you just look at the package and look at the fiber grams, you don't know exactly what you're getting. Uh, soluble in,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: But I, you'll see me come out with more books. I'll be defining it better. Clara clarifying it all. Bet Much better.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: cool. All right. So I have taken you a little past the time that you originally allotted me. Do you have a few more minutes? Cuz I, I would like to hit on the Omega three s and why they matter, but I don't want to take you.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: No, no, I'm fine.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: We're okay. All right. So can we talk about the Omega [00:47:00] three s then and uh, how they impact?
Cuz I think a lot of people think of omega three s in a couple different ways. I think people think of 'em as cardiovascular wellness. I think people think of 'em as anti-inflammatory to a large degree. I think that's a pretty common, uh, understanding that people have. And I think that people think of 'em maybe as almost a lubricant for the joints and things like that.
But I don't know that a lot of people think of omega three s in the gut. So talk to us about,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Well, in uh, 19, uh, probably 1999, there was a clinical study that came out in Japan and it was on, um, it was on Omega3 s and i b d to define that inflammatory bowel disease, which is very,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, those types of things. Mm-hmm.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: And, um, Dr. Smith and I decided at that point in time, this has been a long time ago, we decided that we were gonna do a formula for. The, um, omega three s for the gut, not that [00:48:00] you're just doing it for the gut. I mean, if you do omega three s it's gonna affect the whole body. So what we did is we took that clinical study and I, and at the other company, I came out with a product and very much defined along with that clinical.
So what that means is if you have anything in your gut or in your body that's inflammatory your, like you said, your joints, your brain health, all of this that's going on, how do you get better absorption? of Omega three s cuz this is critical to understand. We have a tremendous amount of people today on keto diets, on uh, paleo diets.
And one of the problems, because I have it, my family not gonna say who it's, but I have it in my family. Uh, and I try to tell them, look guys, here's the deal. If you don't have good [00:49:00] liver bile production,
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: and you don't have lipase being secreted from the pancreas, which is your fat digesting enzyme. They come together at your small intestine right there, and that's what emulsifies fat, so a fat molecule comes into the body large.
it can't absorb through the gut wall until it's made smaller. And that is through digestion. So that's through lipase and that's through Bioart. So anyway, the point of it is, is when when we looked at the clinical study, the one thing that they did was they enteric coded the capsule. So that meant that capsule went into the stomach, right?
Didn't break up in the stomach. Got into that small intestine. Now that's exactly where the lipase from, the pancreas and the bile salt from the liver, gall bladder comes together. So we got the enteric coating. The other thing that [00:50:00] we put in there, we put in there, is the lipase enzyme, because we're so weak in our pancreases today.
You know what I mean? Remember your pancrea. Your pancreas, uh, regulates your insulin as well as produces your digestive enzyme. So you've got a whole lot going on with the pancreas, right? So what we've done with our omega-3 is we teart coat it so you don't burp it. Can you know the people that I have in this office that won't take an omega-3 because they burp it. I'm like, really?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: a lot of people.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: There's a lot of people. So when you enter it coded, you don't burp it. that's just a a fluke thing. But what I'm trying to say is, so then you have the enteric coating. Then we put the lipase enzyme inside the capsule so that when it does drop into that small intestine, you've got that extra lipase with the bile salt from the liver gallbladder to help you digest it.
[00:51:00] Cause the ideal thing, Jared, is to get that omega three down into here where all the inflammation.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right. So you've got to have the enteric coating is essential. It's essential for that. And so that's why our Omega-3, and we also do put in the D three, but I mean, we put in, I think in ours we have a thousand milligrams per capsule of D three, but people are taking D three.
It doesn't matter, but you do know to. Absor to have absorption of D three, you have to have fat with it.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Right. Yeah. It's a fat
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So our omega-3 is totally different. And um, and, and that's one of the things, and it's not just like it's a digestive omega-3. What it is, is it'll affect the overall, um, you know, cardiovascular, E P A D H A.
And the other thing that [00:52:00] we have in ours is our Omega, our. Our, uh, each capsule of ours is, uh, 1,175 milligrams of E P a dha.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: I was just gonna
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: That's very good.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: is critical. Yeah. And there are so many very low potency Omega three s out
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Oh my gosh, Jared, do you get tired of people coming in and going, okay, so my husband does this very funny thing. He gets this fish and I, I've got it on, and he says, okay, if you take this fish and you squeeze the oil outta the fish, right? Okay, you got all this oil. That's not Omega three. Only 30% of that oil is omega-3.
The other 70% saturated fat.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: right?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: So what we're saying is we've concentrated that omega-3, you see what I mean? So you've got not only a concentrated omega-3, you've got the lipase enzyme, you've got enteric coated, and you've got D three. So [00:53:00] what we're trying to do is to get that in as the inflammatory to help people with inflammatory conditions.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Excellent. Okay. And then the last thing then would be enzymes. And we could talk about enzymes for nine hours, but, uh, just give , give your brief, uh, synopsis of why enzymes matter so much. Um, and you know, what makes yours unique?
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: The way we've made ours unique and enzymes are important because the pancreas becomes weak. I mean, and, and we overeat. I mean, there's just so many things I could go into here and I won't do it, but I think when you're over probably the age of 50, you ought to be looking at taking a digestive enzyme when you eat and people go say, well, when you take it, I, here's the way I look. when you think about food, you're starting to secrete hydrochloric acid. You don't even have to start putting it in your mouth, right? [00:54:00] So what I like to tell people to do is take that digestive enzyme either in the middle of the meal or the end of the meal, let your body do what it's gonna do.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Mm-hmm.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: And what we've done is we put the um, digestive enzyme in a delayed release capsule. Let's go back to what I just said. Where is digestion happening? Not in the stomach. Stomach's only liquefying everything and heating it up and all that. Your true digestion comes when that pancreas starts secreting enzymes after the stomach and the very first part of the small intestine and the liver gallbladder.
Okay? When they come together in that duo, . Okay, so with a digestive enzyme, what we've start, we are, we are doing is we're doing a delayed release capsule. Cuz you really don't need it in the stomach, you need it in that small intestine. [00:55:00] And so that's the difference. Everything we're doing is to get absorption.
You're not what you eat folks, you're what you absorb. And that's a fact.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Absolutely. All right, so then to, to wrap this up, because as I said, we've taken longer than we, uh, originally anticipated doing. Um, and I love it. I could talk to you for another hour easily. Um, the, you're, you've got a new program coming out. It's gonna be out in March, gut check, hope for Ultimate Help with Brenda Watson on pbs.
I'm assuming that can be found on PBS Online as well as on tv.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: org in your area.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: Okay. And then, uh, and, and so that's coming up if you want to hear a little bit more, uh, maybe a little more concise version of, of some of what we've talked about today, uh, and dig into that a little bit more. There is an excellent book that Brenda mentioned that we do have a couple of stacks of at Vitality Nutrition.
We will include it in our vitality [00:56:00] nutrition.com orders if you ask for it in the notes, or you can pick it up if you're local to Vitality, nutrition. And of course we've talked about hope, meaning high fiber Omega three s, probiotics and digestive enzymes, and maybe, I think the most important thing that we talked about today is the diversity of the fiber and the diversity of the
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_brenda_watson-8swwhc2e1_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: And Jerry, please let people know when they get the gut extinction book.

All that's in that book, and it's free.
vitality-radio_brenda-jared_jared_st__clair-151sugsvv_cfr_2023-feb-07-1924pm-utc-riverside: And it's a good book. It really is. I haven't looked at it for a few months now.
