I often try to stress the point that finding the root cause of why something has gone awry in the body is more important than just trying to treat symptoms. This allows you to make more specific corrections, whether that’s lifestyle modifications when it comes to diet and exercise, or even in terms of the different vitamins and minerals that you are taking.†
Now that we know so much more about the human genome, understanding what is going on at the genetic level can play an important role in taking care of your body. If we can see a predisposition to a particular risk, then we can do a lot more now in terms of lifestyle modifications and making sure that we can bypass some of those issues. For instance, knowing that you have a genetic variant that increases your risk of developing heart disease allows you to make changes now to help prevent that.†

Our genetic health testing allows us to assess your level of risk for a potential health that you are dealing with currently or could become a problem in the future.†
We’ve partnered up with a widely-regarded lab in Oregon to simplify the genetic health testing process. It’s incredibly accurate and the results that you get can yield you so much insight as to what’s going on within your body at the genetic level. It’s a quick and painless process. You use a cotton-tipped swab to gently rub the inside of your cheek, then you send it off to the lab for processing. Once the results come in, we analyze the results and identify any genetic variants so that we can assess your risks and create a plan of action.†
With these genetic testing kits, we are able to analyze many different areas for overall health, including detoxification and vitamin and mineral absorption. We can also look at your risk for things such as Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease.†

muscle health

Declining muscle mass is a part of aging, but you can help stop it with the help of fatty acids found in fish oils.†
Age-related loss of muscle mass is called sarcopenia. It’s a natural consequence of aging and actually starts in our 30s. We begin to lose as much as 3% of our muscle and strength per decade and that accelerates to about 5% as we get older.†
Less muscle mass means you’re getting weaker, which can affect your mobility. This can lead to an increased risk of falls and fractures. A 2015 study from the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research found that older people with muscle loss had over twice the risk of breaking a bone with a mild fall. It could be a broken hip, leg, wrist or arm.†
REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HIP FRACTURES & SUPPORT BONE HEALTH – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 295. Listen Now>>
Muscle can help reduce your risk of injury and your risk of developing diabetes, as it is a storage site for sugar that traps the sugar there and prevents it from reentering the system. Muscle loss can impact your gait, mobility, bone health and posture. Losing muscle can also lead to frailty syndrome, which is terrible because you become inactive and begin to shrink. This often leads to older people losing their independence. Muscle loss may also lead to the development of some age-related conditions such as heart disease, arthritis and dementia.†
Fish oils can affect muscle health. Studies have shown that fish oils can help with muscle loss in aging people and people who are ill. Experts think that this might be linked to a reduced level of inflammation in aging muscles. Inflammation increases as we age.†

A study published in the journal Nutrients done by researchers at McGill University found that fish oils, amongst other nutrients, are needed for muscle mass, strength, mobility and physical function in older adults. This can help them to maintain their independence. These researchers recommended approximately 3000 mg of fatty acids from fish oil daily for physical function, muscle mass and strength in aging people. If you take a krill oil supplement like Krill Oil Advanced, you can take less because these fatty acids are absorbed better from krill oils than from fish oils.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. speaks about the power of fish oils when it comes to rebuilding muscle. He shares several studies indicating that the fatty acids in fish oils can benefit muscle strength and mass, while also explaining the dangers of losing muscle.†
