I frequently talk about being proactive as opposed to being reactive. Today, I want to talk about being proactive when it comes to your cardiovascular health.† 

How do genetics play into cardiovascular health?

Cardiovascular disease can be easily influenced by insulin resistance, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, inflammation and more. If we have a tendency to have thicker or thinner blood, for example, this can have an impact on our cardiovascular health. We could also look at why one person might develop a blood clot while someone else might not or why one person’s cut bleeds for longer than another’s.†

There are different factors that can impact all of these things, such as daily exercise and following a healthy diet, but we can also look at genetic predispositions to cardiac problems. This is important because we know that cardiovascular disease is the leading contributor to both morbidity and mortality, with over 17 million deaths occurring annually due to cardiovascular disease.† 

HELPING THE HEART STAY HEALTHY – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 244. Listen Now>>

As we get older, the risks to our cardiovascular health begin to go up, but we can now look at specific, inherited genetic components that might make a difference in terms of how we exercise, what we eat and what supplements we’re taking.† 

Learning about and understanding your genes

At InViteⓇ Health, we offer a Cardiac Health Test, which looks at eight different genes that can indicate if you have a genetic variant that can increase your cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke. Now that we can pinpoint specific genes that may be problematic, we have the opportunity to be proactive and make changes that will benefit our health ahead of time. We can’t change our genes, but we can change up what we’re doing to address any gene variants.†

These genes can help us to indicate if we need to work on our body’s ability to metabolize fats, manage cholesterol levels and more. They can also help us understand what supplements we may need to incorporate into our routine. Beetroot extract, for instance, can assist with the natural production of nitric oxide. Arginine can help to enhance nitric oxide production. Adequate amounts of magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids and resveratrol are important as well. This is what it means to be proactive about your health.† 

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH explains the importance of understanding your body’s genetics when it comes to cardiovascular health. She details the capabilities of our Cardiac Health Test and discusses how this can help us be proactive about our health.†

Key Topics:

  • What is cardiovascular disease?
  • Details about our Cardiac Health Test
  • The importance of the APOE gene
  • Nutrients that may help with cardiovascular health

There are many nutrients that we take for granted within the body. Today, I want to talk about the importance of amino acids. When it comes to their role and their function in the body, it’s clearly evident that they do so much to support our overall health. These key nutrients help support brain health, mood health and cardiovascular health.† 

The important roles of amino acids

There is mounting clinical evidence supporting the true function of amino acids in the body. We can look at things like arginine for example, which plays an important role in the manufacturing of nitric oxide. We have to have nitric oxide when it comes to vasodilation and for proper blood flow and blood pressure.† 

The proper absorption of things like lysine helps to support healthy calcium balance in the body, which can be very beneficial for supporting bone health as we get older. Lysine also plays a role in supporting the immune system and impeding the replication of certain viruses.†

Studies have shown that these acids are important for cell signaling, as well as the regulation of gene expression. We see their importance when it comes to protein phosphorylation and maintaining muscle mass.†

Our skin, nails and hair are also composed of these essential amino acids, as well as all of our internal organs. The acids work synergistically together, but they also each have their own individual functions.† 

The CNS Protocol I formulation

Our CNS Protocol I formulation is a wonderful product that helps support the role of all of these important nutrients in our body. It is a blend of 21 amino acids in their free form, which means that they are bioavailable and ready for proper absorption into the body. The combination of these amino acids, along with their high absorption rate, really yields a significant amount of support. This includes glutamine for GI function, taurine for cardiovascular and brain function, tyrosine for thyroid function and tryptophan for the production of melatonin and serotonin. All of these different amino acids are functioning to support cardiovascular health, central nervous system function, skeletal muscle health and more.†
