Welcome back to Part 2 of our episode looking at how to get your immune system ready for winter. In Part 1, we spoke about nutrients that decline in the winter that you need for the immune system and why it’s more likely to get a viral infection like the flu or a cold in the wintertime. Now we’re going to talk about other nutrients that really help your immune system work effectively during the winter.†
In addition to zinc, Vitamin C and Vitamin D, which I discussed in Part 1, you can also take a supplement called nucleotides, which works differently within the body.†
When a virus enters your body, it’s quickly replicated into millions of viral particles. To meet this head on and defeat the virus, our immune cells must also quickly replicate to match the number of viral cells. This takes a lot of energy. Nucleotides quickly supply energy to our immune system. If you feel yourself starting to get sick, you can take a supplement like our Nucleotide Complex to help give the immune system energy function properly.†

There’s also Beta-Glucans. These are powerful constituents in some edibles such as oats. Mushrooms are rich in Beta-1.3-Glucans, which have been studied for infections and cancer patients. These important constituents are not well-absorbed from food, so a better source of Beta-1.3-Glucans for the immune system is an algae that is loaded with essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The name of this beautiful algae is Euglena gracilis. The Beta-Glucans in this algae are not coated, so when you consume this algae, you very easily absorb the Beta-1.3-Glucans. They pretty much immediately give your immune system a boost and support your body’s ability to fight viruses.†
Probiotic bacteria are also important for the immune system. About 70% of our immune system comes in contact with our intestines and that’s where we have the highest level of bacteria. If they’re bad bacteria, they confuse the immune system and they increase the risk of leaky gut syndrome, allergies and autoimmune diseases. If they’re good bacteria, they train the immune system.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. concludes his conversation about the nutrients you need in winter to help your immune system function properly. He explains the functions these vitamins, minerals and antioxidants have in the body and also details studies about their benefits.†

Welcome back to Part 3 of our podcast looking at how heart attacks in women can differ from heart attacks in men. This is a crucial thing to know. In Part 1, we discussed the symptoms of a heart attack in women. It’s not always crushing chest pain. It could be nausea, dizziness or quick-onset fatigue. It’s important to know these things.†
Let’s discuss coenzyme Q10. When CoQ10 is converted to its active form, ubiquinol, it allows you to use oxygen and calories for energy. This is involved with your brain, heart and every other system in the body. All the energy in your body requires CoQ10, but it has to be converted into ubiquinol for that to happen.†
Diabetics have a terrible time converting CoQ10 into ubiquinol, so they are much better off using a ubiquinol supplement. As you grow older, the level of ubiquinol in your body declines because it gets increasingly more difficult to convert CoQ10 into ubiquinol. This lack of ubiquinol impacts your muscles, including your heart muscle. Your heart is pumping blood 100,000 times a day, so it needs a lot of energy. Without ubiquinol, there’s a lot of stress in the heart.†
WHY COENZYME Q10 UBIQUINOL IS SO IMPORTANT – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 233. Listen Now>>
There have been many studies looking at the role of ubiquinol in heart health. One particular study found that when they gave elderly people ubiquinol, it actually cut down on the number of both men and women who died as a consequence of something wrong with their heart like heart failure, heart attack or sudden cardiac death. When you increase the amount of ubiquinol in the heart, you take a lot of pressure off of it. This means your heart is less likely to go into an arrhythmia, have a heart seizure or suffer a heart attack.†
Here are some things you should look out for. Women more commonly have a condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection. This occurs when one of the blood vessels in the heart tears. That can block your blood flow and can lead to really severe chest pain. It can feel like a heart attack. Women are more likely to have this issue, especially soon after pregnancy.†
There are things that can help improve the health of your arteries, including fish oils, cocoa, green tea and magnesium. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts, can also be beneficial.†
