Did you know that for the average American, during the fall and winter months, it is not uncommon to gain at a minimum 5 pounds? We can blame a lot of that on holiday foods and different things like that, but we also know that we certainly shift our activity level during the colder months. If you are in the northeast, if you are in the midwest, you are probably not as active. You’re bunkered down trying to stay warm. We know this can have a long-lasting effect on our metabolic rate. It can also have an effect on the amount of weight that we gain.
When you are staying at home more often than you have in the past, due to COVID restrictions that are still widely common throughout the country, maybe you’re not going out and being as physical as you used to be. Perhaps you are finding yourself not eating the best foods because of stress and anxiety. There’s different reasons as to why we make these alterations to our normal routine that can really have long-lasting effects on weight gain.
What can we do to adhere to a healthy lifestyle during the fall and winter?
We at InVite® Health are not only experts when it comes to nutritional supplementation, we actually offer a complete wellness approach. I think this is very important because sometimes people are unaware of this. We have all these great things that you can have as part of your wellness arsenal. When you think about cooking healthy, we have a smokeless grill, we have a steamer, we have all of these things that can help you on that pathway to overall wellness.

We also have really great things that can help to support your physical activity at home. We have the TRX Home System, and this is absolutely just wonderful. They are the leaders when it comes to home workouts. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner in your fitness journey or if you are more of an expert when it comes to your physical activity. What we know about the TRX system is it’s a very simplified approach to training.
We also offer the Garmin and Fitbit to help you track your progress. To learn more about the products InVite® Health can help you add to your wellness routine, tune into the full podcast episode or click here to learn about the InVite® Wellness Program.
We can also partner these tools up with different nutrients that help to optimize the way that our body is responding to times of stress at the same time we’re trying to push ourselves to allow for normal thermogenesis, which is fat burning, and energy creation.
We can look at something like ATP, that is that direct energy that is made at that cellular level. That’s adenosine triphosphate. Taking ATP as a supplement can really help to enhance the body’s energy production. This is key because when we talk about exercise and stress, we know that the body can start to deplete its sources of energy. By adding ATP supplementation in, this can really not only enhance your actual workouts and help to support muscle mass and strength, but also when we talk about that energy production which is yielded throughout the entire body. The more energy that we have, the better off we feel, which is why the ATP Hx® from InVite® Health really is considered this exercise enhancer because it’s giving you the cellular ability to generate energy.
We can also utilize things such as carnitine to help to facilitate the movement of essential fatty acids from the exterior of the cell to the inside of the cell so they can be made into energy. That mitochondrial energy production is really what we’re after.

Another key, powerful antioxidant in the human body that starts to diminish with age is coenzyme Q10. Incorporating coQ10 during this time of fall and winter is also a very good idea because we want to be able to allow all of the cells throughout the body the ability to make that ATP. That is so very important, especially during the fall and winter when we are more prone to that cellular dysfunction, as well as oxidative stress and weight gain.
All of these things are things that we can certainly incorporate in. We have a complete wellness program available to you through InVite® Fitness. Across the board, it’s home workouts, activity trackers, healthy lifestyle approaches, all of these ways that you can allow yourself to have a comprehensive approach to your longevity and weight management.

Do You Have A Nutrient Deficiency? – InVite Health Podcast, Episode 201

Foods matter. Nutrients matter. Vitamins matter. Minerals matter. All of these things matter, which is why, as a country, we do so poorly when it comes to looking at different biochemical indicators for our overall health. The CDC does a very comprehensive nutritional report looking at 58 different biochemical indicators in the US population to give scientists an idea as to the overall basic health of the nation.
We already know this from a study that they did out of the University of North Carolina, where they were able to determine that only 12% of Americans are considered to be metabolically healthy. This is certainly an issue, when people don’t take their diet seriously, when people are not taking something as basic and simple as a multivitamin.†
Today, I want to talk about different nutritional deficiencies that are incredibly common throughout the United States. The deficiencies can lead to significant issues in our overall health, including our mental clarity and our energy status. We see that these deficiencies are very common in younger adults in the United States, which is really shameful, because they should be the ones that have the most energy, but because of poor dietary intake and the lack of taking something as simple as a multivitamin, we see a significant shift.†
We know that the percentage of Americans who are deficient in basic, essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D, Vitamin C and iron is really quite astonishing. So what can we be doing about that? How can we get Americans onto that health train where we make sure that we are taking in foods that actually have some substance to them? We need to avoid these filler foods, these highly-processed foods, that are just loaded down with bad fats and sugars. We need to be eating whole foods, foods that are actually going to yield us natural sources of these vitamins and minerals. When you look at micronutrient inadequacies within the United States, it is alarming.†

We know that the lack of physical activity and not eating good foods create a direct causal effect to so many of the chronic disease states out there.

What can we do to improve nutrient deficiencies?
We have to think about just the basics. We know we need to have vitamins and minerals because they are required for so many different functions in the body, including detoxification and immunity. If we don’t have vitamins and minerals, there’s a simple fix for that. Just incorporate in a multivitamin, multimineral formulation. If you go to our website, you will find a whole slew of different options when it comes to vitamins and minerals. We have our Core multivitamin, which is very, very comprehensive. We have the Men’s Multi and the Women’s Multi. We have the Performance Multi. We have our Multi Energy Powder. There’s a lot of different ways for you to get these essential vitamins and minerals into your system.†
