If you suffered with chickenpox as a kid, it can come back to haunt you later in life as shingles.† 

What is shingles?

According to research, approximately 99% of adults over the age of 40 have had chickenpox. This virus remains in your body in a dormant state, but it can be reactivated at any time and the risk of reactivating it increases with age, as your immune system naturally declines. Anybody who has had chickenpox is at risk for developing shingles. In the United States, one out of three people will eventually develop shingles. That’s an estimated yearly rate of one million people.†      

Shingles presents as a painful rash with many blisters that typically occur on one side of the body. The blisters will typically scab over in seven to ten days and they typically clear up fully within two to four weeks. Its biggest complication is severe, long-lasting nerve pain known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). It can also cause scarring. If you develop these issues around your eyes, it may impact your eye health.†

Nutrients that can help fight this virus

There are natural things that can help with the pain and symptoms of shingles. My number one go-to supplement for people with nerve pain of any stripe is Alcar with ALA. There are many studies indicating that these nutrients can help people with nerve pain related to issues such as diabetes, back issues and more.†

B vitamins are also helpful for nerve pain. If you get the active forms of B12, folic acid and B6, these are great for nerve pain. These can be found in our Methyl-B formulation. There’s a fatty soluble form of Vitamin B1 called benfotiamine that can also be helpful.†

These supplements can help with nerve pain, but they are also beneficial for supporting brain health, energy levels and more.†

In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. explains what shingles is, what causes it and how it presents itself. He also offers recommendations for nutrients that can help your body fend off nerve pain.†

Losing weight is not always an easy task. Did you know that nearly one half of adults in the United States tried to lose weight in the last 12 months? Yes, half of Americans tried and failed to lose weight. Our diet plays a big role into this, as does our low activity rate. But what are some things that you can do, besides jumping onto some fad diet? Let’s talk about the reality of weight loss and what you can be doing about this.† 

Statistics on weight loss

I want to talk about the findings that came from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They recognized that 50% of US adults tried to lose weight over the course of the last year. 56% of those adults were women.† 

We know that those who tried to lose weight reported that their most common method of doing so was trying to exercise and eat less, but it’s the adherence part that is the catch. We have to look really hard at diet and be honest with ourselves. I’ve spoken to many people who claim they have a very healthy and clean diet. In a roundabout way, it may sound healthy, but when we break it down, we can see that they may not actually be making the healthiest choices when it comes to calories, fiber content and more.†

Supplementing with Trim Hx

When it comes to supplements, our Trim HxⓇ formulation can be very beneficial for weight loss. Trim HxⓇ is unique in the sense that it is targeting two different areas in which many people struggle to achieve their weight loss goals. One is to try to promote and speed up the metabolic rate to help promote fat burning. The other is to stop the cravings, so we have to target the brain component that drives cravings for bad, junky, sugary foods.†

This is where our Trim HxⓇ comes into play. This formula includes a registered, trademarked form of an herbal extract known as Grains of Paradise and it’s called CaloriburnⓇ GP. This ingredient has been shown in clinical trials to be effective. It is partnered up with 5-HTP, which is 5-hydroxytryptophan. This is the intermediate step between the conversion of the amino acid tryptophan and the manufacturing of serotonin. This helps to regulate the desire to want to go and snack.†
