How Exercise and Supplements Affect the Brain
Happy Festivus! Dr. Joey doesn't even go to the gym any more, he just goes straight to the ocean! Paddling on the waves engages all your core muscles and ignites your overall wellness. Being exposed to the sun isn't just getting vitamin D, it is more than that. The sun affects our brain health as well, versus being in grey overcast skies. Exercise in general help cognition, brain health, and obviously physical health. We know how much exercise we need for exact optimal health for things like "cardiovascular health." We do not know how much and what kind of exercise we need for optimal brain health.Bernadette asks Dr. Joey directly about CBD and the brain. Dr. Joey says that CBD is a tough subject. He believes that CBD may be placebo affect, and there is not any data on CBD and exercise directly. No body really knows what kind of pain CBD targets in the body, so it is tough to determine. CBD and athletics need to be researched more, and Dr. Joey Antonio is on it! Sports drinks are better than just water as far as rehydration. Surprisingly, milk is the best for long term rehydration.
Creatine
Creatine is a substance that is found naturally in muscle cells. It helps your muscles produce energy during heavy lifting or high-intensity exercise. Chemically speaking, it shares many similarities with amino acids. Your body can produce it from the amino acids glycine and arginine. Dr. Joey says many people have weird and bad ideas around creatine. The ISSN is about to publish a paper debunking the myths surrounding creatine. So look out for that! Creatine is typically used by meat eaters, but it is vegans and vegetarians who do not eat meat and especially fish that can benefit from creatine. If you have a child in a high contact sport, having them on creatine is actually great! Contrary to social beliefs, creation is not

The Future of DNA-Based Nutrition
Dr. Jen Myers is at the forefront of DNA based research and genomic researching. Common DNA testing like 23andMe and Ancestry are not enough, especially if you want to optimize your body’s health and biochemistry, not just look at your risk for some common diseases. Individual genetics, food processing, less nutrient dense soil, and so many other factors go into the nutrition of your food and what your body is actually able to absorb and use. Dr. Jen Myers believes 110% that everyone should have a nutrigenomics test done. It is the best way to know exactly what your body needs. B vitamins are a common deficiency among all of Dr. Jen's patients. In 2021 make your health priority! Health is a tool, not a weapon.
