Digging In On Health Impacts of Cortisol Levels, Stress, and Adrenal Fatigue:

Your host, Scott Mulvaney and today’s guest co-host Dr. John Neustadt discuss the importance of balancing health, business, and lifestyle. Dr. Neustadt, an expert in integrative medicine, emphasizes the impact of chronic stress on health, particularly cortisol’s role in bone loss and gut health. He advocates for personal responsibility in health, highlighting the inadequacy of traditional medical approaches. They discuss the benefits of whole foods, protein intake, and the pitfalls of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Neustadt’s company, NBI Health, focuses on high-quality supplements, particularly Vitamin K2 (MK-4) for bone health, which has shown to reduce fractures by over 70%. They stress the importance of reading labels and understanding bioavailability. The discussion focused on the differences between MK-4 and MK-7 forms of vitamin K2, highlighting that MK-4 has been clinically proven to stop and reverse bone loss, while MK-7 only slows down bone loss and may even increase it. Scott Mulvaney emphasized the importance of consumer education and informed decision-making. John Neustadt discussed the significance of clinical trials and the need for transparency in supplement marketing. They also touched on the benefits of vitamin C, the importance of genetic testing, and the role of dietary supplements in stress management and overall health. Neustadt shared his commitment to reducing fracture risk and improving bone health through evidence-based products and pro bono consulting.

Quote: “Cut through the confusion of alternative medicine’s promises, conventional medicine’s failures, fad diets and dietary supplement hype to help you get empowered, get energized and unlock your full health potential.”

Timestamped Show Notes:

08:46 – Chronic stress is absolutely devastating to your health. I mean, even the research has been done with cortisol levels and normal “healthy people”, and just the high end of normal, meaning that they were not pathological. They didn’t have any disease. They were losing bone mass faster than the people whose cortisol levels were lower. Cortisol also changes the gut microbiome. When it’s elevated a lot of the researchers with medications like prednisone, which is basically cortisol on steroids itself, and high doses, but even low doses of short term create osteoporosis and increase fracture risk. But they destroy muscle microfibrils, and it decreases your body’s ability to produce collagen. The stress also makes the collagen that is present there even more fragile. So it’s just this recipe for this systemic breakdown throughout your body of the connective tissue, not to mention the gut health, and, you know, it’s drag on your energy and damage to mitochondria.

13:15 – If recovering from all this chronic stress, if they’ve got symptoms of adrenal fatigue and or we’ve tested it and it’s shown it, I like to have them exercise just to the point where they are sweating and then to stop. That way you get the cardiovascular benefits. It gets the heart rate up, it boosts the immune system, but it doesn’t over stress the the adrenal glands any further.

17:30 – A really insidious effect of cortisol and that chronic stress research has shown it actually shrinks brain size. It decreases the volume of your brain.

37:52 – In Japan, they actually prescribe forest bathing, grounding, i.e. go out into nature. It’s prescribed. The other thing is when you’re in that stressful situation, back to cortisol in a stressful position in your house, or you’re just wound up, it changes the blood flow in your brain. Your prefrontal cortex is for decision making and being able to understand the results of your actions. So if this is comprimised, it will impact your ability to gauge which is going to be the best decision, it decreases the blood flow to that area, and it increases the blood flow to other areas of the brain, where it’s more fight or flight, where it’s let’s get out of here. In fact, research has shown that when people are under stress, they cannot anticipate how the negative consequences of their behaviors, because they just want to escape, and so they make worse decisions.

01:01:20 – Bioavailable, so, what does that mean? It means you can absorb it better, and that’s true, MK7 is more bioavailable than MK4, but that doesn’t mean that it works better in your body. Does that guarantee a utilization? Not at all. So MK7 and MK4 are both forms of Vitamin k2 but they’re different molecules. So you know, as we know, in biochemistry, if you change just one carbon atom or one atom on a molecule, you can get overlapping but you also get very different effects. So I already mentioned, MK4 has been shown to stop and reverse bone loss and maintain bone strength. MK7, in all doses tested, has never been shown to stop bone loss or reverse it, only slow down how fast somebody loses bone?

01:14:00 – On the topic of accurate supplement labeling, I love that topic, and that’s we have three versions of that product. Each have the highest dose of MK4 available, 45 milligrams per day, with 2000 I use a vitamin d3 the dose shown in clinical trials to work, and then different amounts of calcium, because not everybody needs the same amount of calcium in a dietary supplement, and a lot of people don’t even need calcium as a dietary supplement. So that’s got the full dose of calcium, 1000 milligrams per day. Take two servings a day, osteo K minis, which is, I think, a better formula for most women. It has less calcium. It has 400 milligrams per day, right next to that. And the osteo MK4 has no calcium, just the MK4 and vitamin d3 for people who don’t need extra calcium.

01:27:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The reason I started, aside from getting frustrated by not having the supplements that I needed for my patients, where I started focusing on bone health and osteoporosis, is because my mother in law, at the time had osteoporosis. I thought I was doing a good job with her and my patients. I was, you know, helping her with some dietary supplements and nutrition and exercise advice. And her doctor had her on fossamax. Her physician her bone density was going up. So she was happy. Her physician was happy. I was happy. My patient’s bone density was going up. So I was happy. Then my mother in law fell, tripped on a throw rug and broke her hip. And I thought to myself, something is wrong with this picture. So I started diving into the research on osteoporosis and bone health, and I was shocked by what I found, that a bone density test only predicts 44% of women with osteoporosis who fracture only 21% of men, and yet that number on that test is almost exclusively what’s treated and tracked conventionally. And in fact, when it comes to the Osteoporosis medications, the change in bone density is not even an indicator that that medication is reducing their fracture risk that’s well documented in the clinical trials. And so my passion for continuing to research on osteoporosis and bone health, lecture at medical conferences, write my book, create products to help people support their their bone health and their physiology in that way, if I can have an overarching legacy when I’m when I’m gone, my hope is that it will move the needle nationally in terms of how clinically doctors approach this condition, and the entire focus of it changes from just being addressing a number on a test to what can we do to reduce people’s fracture risk, because that’s the most dangerous thing with this condition, and fracture risk depends largely, mostly on factors other than bone density.

00:30 – Introduction

11:15 – It’s also powerful in a way that, I became a believer of the idea of food as medicine. I always remind myself that I wake up, the kids are here, because food was medicine. We would not have done that. We would not have, they would not be here. So, I mean, it’s pretty powerful for them. They don’t know the story yet.

20:00 – Some of them actually are facts that you need to listen, it just took time to find the right people to start implementing the implementers, whether it be engineers, or just people who just decided to execute on the on the game plan and figure it out. All of a sudden we apply these discoveries that weren’t fully applied, they were implemented before.

32:45 – That’s the point about this idea that we are looking at, you know, 12-13 biomarkers today on blood. Normally we think about blood biomarkers, we can think about, maybe sweat, but you can also think about digital biomarkers, like sleep and weight data, and your HRV and your activity, your heart rate, and many other things. So, one thing that we are trying to do a lot every day, is to really focus on understanding. How do we master nutrition? How do we build these things that are going to help you make that behavior change stick? 

41:30 – So it’s so interesting, it’s why we alone, we talk about the nutrition problem, and we work today in a world of supplements and powders and stuff like that. It doesn’t mean we are going to stop there, we’re going to go into into food fairly quickly. But while we did start with the supplements, for example, I think it’s mind boggling and many people don’t know the fact that 20 million people in this country are taking supplements every day.

57:30 – In the bag, what we are sending to people and is handed back to that person, is blended specifically for that person. We have worked with really, really good people on the backend to make it scalable. This is something that has never really been done before. So every product we do, we try to be able to customize the protein, literally every protein bag we put out is gonna be different for that customer.

01:03:45 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think for me, the really the big thing is that the smart nutrition is something that you know, I believe it can become a real thing. Like a smartphone. What if we, now in the next decade, we invent this concept and take it further not us, but you know, hundreds of people, 1000 people, you know, hundreds of companies are gonna I hope adopt this idea. What if we, what if this becomes like a smartphone? What if half the people adopt smart interest and products that come from this world? What if we can actually with this sense, the way healthcare is perceived, and my big thing that I want to work on? I don’t know if it’s possible, but I think today that we might be able to figure it out, the code of health for humans by connecting us into more sensors and more biomarkers, and I think we can all find the universal theory of health, and it will look very different than what we have today.

When we have 100 different types of doctors. Looking at one part of your body. It’s like you’re blindfolded and you’re taxing the elephant from the nose and from the tail. That’s what the doctors do. and they don’t communicate to care, they don’t convene together to talk about your condition, the one doctor makes the call and then the other ones are not in the loop, they barely even see the data or the audit or the record.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:30 – In “traditional” medicine, they are studying theory, the catabolic state, cancer break down, this person needs certain B vitamins to generate the energy, their collagen swelling report, they need higher amounts of vitamin C, etc, etc.

10:00 – Whatever you can’t get away from toxins, check the Environmental Working Group, EWG.org, the Clean 15 or the Dirty Dozen, clean 15 foods. They did a study years ago on placental blood that babies right when they’re born to have over 200 chemicals on average in their blood. So you’re breathing it in and you’re putting them on your skin.

22:00 – The rich and famous are taking this stuff. Then you look at all the other ones and all they are, are glorified antioxidants, and basically multivitamins. If you look at what affects telomeres, in reality, it’s stress. If you had a stressful childhood, you can’t process your emotions and haven’t figured out who you are or how to process those emotions. Then you carry that stress to your life, it shortens your telomeres.

30:00 – I have seen some directly enhanced testosterone levels and guys having positive effects for fertility with women who are having fertility issues. This has been shown to balance out those hormones on women.

40:30 – The higher the mineral content in the food, the more drought-resistant the food, the higher the energy of the food, the more sweet the food is, the longer that food is gonna last in your refrigerator. So you buy an organic zucchini that’s rotting in 10 days in your refrigerator, I pick my organic, get into my organic zucchinis that I’m growing. I can leave them on my countertop all summer long, then cut them up, and they’re still fresh as the day that I picked them.

48:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think you take it back to that awareness aspect. I think if you know who you are, and you know what you believe, then you have a tool that shows you how you can love yourself because if you don’t like yourself, you’re dealing with yourself for the rest of your life. You know, then you’ve got an issue, know yourself, find yourself and then let that belief guide you. It’s going to lead you to do that aspect of truth that says, okay, if I really believe that, then what am I doing to make that difference and leaving that legacy?

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:00] You can do your own health checkup. But you got to get a battery of testing done. Luckily, there’s a lot of services now you get a blood test, a stool test, you can get everything tested. But then you’re looking at money and you’re looking at it really taking a while to just figure out the best way to interpret everything.
• [20:00] The Braverman Assessment, the same Dr. Braverman of Pathmed. His book in this mindset really kind of changed my life and changed how I view brain health. What he does is he’s just connecting mood mindset and anything brain-related. He’s connecting back to these four main neurotransmitters. So he has this assessment, the Braverman assessment, you can take it and it takes about 20 minutes to complete.
• [30:00] I kind of consider it like an entry into our brand, or an entry into thinking about brain health. A lot of people are skeptical of taking supplements in general. We noticed that and I wanted to fight against that. So we do make everything fully transparent. So we put all of our ingredient suppliers. We put it all out there, where every ingredient came from.
• [41:40] I’m gonna start with the basics for sure. Diet is something that most people don’t get. The keto thing is obviously hot right now. It does have real benefits. I don’t think it’s for everyone.
• [52:00] You have got to get your sleep. That’s kind of what the first thing is because if you don’t sleep enough, and you don’t get high-quality sleep, you’re a zombie the next day. Some people kind of get used to that and they’re walking around like zombies.
• [01:02:00] Final Words

Final Words:

This is something that stuck with me for a long time, from when I was traveling in South America in 2007. I spent a couple of months traveling around and I was in the backseat of a bus in Bolivia. This white guy, very kind of rough-looking guy, you can tell he’d been there for a while, he comes off the bus. I’m like, jeez, what is this? What’s this guy doing? I’m just like this tourist guy and he’s just in it. I hear him tell the story that he was going to buy it. He’s traveling like six hours to buy a new teapot.

It really says something for the simple things in life. That got him going. He then went into this whole story on every problem comes with opportunities, and how he just got stuck down there for some reason. I didn’t ask questions, but he did make a huge opportunity of it. He now grows organic produce on his farm and he’s really loving his life down there. I took that with me, that and other people have said this statement that with every problem, there’s an opportunity.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] I think because I’m in the Midwest and there are a lot of baby boomers here, we need more providers, we need what nurse practitioners are often called, which is a mid-level provider. They’re desperate for help. I think that’s part of why maybe we have more rights and more autonomy. Iowa has allowed me to really build an integrative or functional medicine practice. There’s no guarantee that I could have found a true medical doctor who would have allowed me to practice under them this in this manner.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:00″] A fireman versus a carpenter approach, describes conventional, or you could say traditional medicine, as being more the fire department. The fire department is used to put out the fire. A chiropractor is then the carpenter approach to move forward with.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:00″] You’re not always taught how to prevent future fires, right? That’s where what we do comes in, we’re a functional medicine provider, a contractor or Carpenter as I discussed in my book. We are helping patients build a healthier body using functional medicine principles because we want to get to the root cause. We want to determine if the patient has inflammation and figure out those triggers. We want to help put out that fire without hopefully having to use drugs and surgery.
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:00″] A Carnivore Study? I want to go off on a tangent now. I am very curious what happens to hormones and what happens to nutritional deficiencies on that sort of diet?
• [spp-timestamp time=”23:39″] I had endometriosis, which I’m going to talk more about in my second book. I did utilize some of the conventional medicine but I use a lot of functional medicine to help with fertility. I’ve been gluten-free for I don’t even know how many years, five years maybe. I’m not free of all grains but I am 100% gluten-free and I needed to go dairy-free as well.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:00″] Terry Wahls is a good friend and colleague, her working knowledge base is ridiculous. She’s someone who reversed her autoimmune condition. She was wheelchair bound with MS – Multiple Sclerosis and was essentially sent home to die. So she did her own research, being she was conventionally trained, she sought out functional medicine and now she’s in the best shape of her life. She feels amazing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”43:00″] It’s all about gut health. It’s all about getting back to the inflammation. You mentioned punching that fire out and for autoimmune diseases specifically, that’s what Terry Wahls’ book is all about. It is getting the inflammatory foods out of her gut to really reverse her condition.
• [spp-timestamp time=”45:30″] Chefs in the cooking world do not fully understand microbiome, gut biology, and how food allergies actually work. Sugar tastes good, sugars are addicting, so that’s why they want you to come back.
• [spp-timestamp time=”53:00″] There are a time and place where with some patients, there’s not a lot they can do nutritionally. If they don’t have the organs necessary to produce the hormones in their symptomatic, they may need hormones. Topical gels and creams, they’re not my favorite, as they’re not the preferred forms. Injectables, those are all synthetic, so I do not like offer those. Then there are sublingual lozenges you can put on your tongue but with BioTe, I believe this is the most potent and safest delivery method. BioTe, Bio-Identical Testosterone Estrogen delivered in hormone pellets.

Final Words:

I think we emphasized the importance of eating clean and reducing stress. Those are two awesome tips right there. So I think those are the biggest take homes.

I’ve also said this word a couple of times, HOPE, that’s in the back of the book. I list a lot of references for patients to find functional medicine providers near where they’re living. I think sometimes patients hear things or individuals may hear a message and it resonates but then they don’t know where to go from there. So if it resonates with you, share with someone you know or a family member who may need functional medicine.

Don’t give up, find a provider who can help you repair and rebuild your body. You won’t regret it.

Final Words:

People need to realize that health is personalized. Everybody is a little different, don’t be too dogmatic about it. Don’t be like oh I’m a Vegan so everyone else has to be a Vegan. Or, I’m a Carnivore so everyone else has to be a Carnivore.

There are definitely certain principles that apply to everybody. For example, eating process sugar is bad for you! There IS a lot of diversity and customization available, so you want to be aware of that.

Knowledge is power, so the smarter you are about your health, the more healthy you’re going to be. The more you take control of this, the better it is going to be. The reason Socrates was considered to be the wisest man in the world was that he knew his limitations. He knew himself. “Know Self”

Our Body Epiphanies & Resilient Mindset Co-Host:

Brandon Trean was homeschooled most of his entire life by two awesome parents. He had wild health issues from mercury intoxication, to 8 lung collapses (one he almost died from laughing to death and had his life flash before his eyes). A year of throwing up nearly every day and coming down to intense malnutrition states at a young age, to now dealing with a gut issue that was deemed as sepsis back on March 15th, 2014. Needless to say, Brandon has been deeply educated by this inner teacher to this day. Nose bleeds that required cauterization multiple times, sleep paralysis, unique meditation experiences, etc.

I started my practice (massage/bodywork & nutritional studio) when I was 24 years old with $15K in debt even at the counter advice of other business comrades. I’ve only ever had one job prior to this which was a fun management position with a movie store. A lot of auspiciousness throughout my life, meeting the right people at the right times leading to more accumulating evidence that living by intuition has served me well. I think if I have something to offer to your groovy podcast series, it is simply resilience of mind in the face of seemingly insurmountable physical & mental disease states. Essentially mindset and how I have forged an optimism that is my north star in multiple circumstances that ought to have killed me (some 14 close calls with death).

I have other projects I want to offer to the world (Dappurr Cat, Immortal Inquiry, etc.) but the current health circumstance I am facing (some 220+ experiments over 3 years to attempt to correct and understand said pathology(s) has been a constant reminder that I must keep my health as my chief focus at this current time. I have interesting business marketing ideas that I have implemented over the years that have worked well in attracting my peoples as it were. I recently began a (what I call Ninja Fundraiser) opportunity for organizations that I think would do best in receiving more monetary gain. So I donate my services to raise money for select groups in this Ninja Fundraiser style which goes beyond my Body Epiphanies branding project.

B12 Product Release CoHosting:

On this episode, we have the return of our co-host from episode 24, Andy Schreiber. He is the Co-Founder of Pure Vitamin Club and he is back to talk about their latest B12 product release while launching Pure Vitamin Club overseas in the UK and beyond. Andy digs into how the B12 supplement was made and why we should be taking this particular supplement.

No additives, No fillers, Vitamins, Magnesium

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:02″] Pure Vitamin Club have just brought in a Digital Marketing Agency to take them to the next level.

[spp-timestamp time=”01:53″] All new businesses that are trying to build a successful business should be reinvesting back into the business within the first 3 to 5 years. Andy and Vinnie never wanted to put the health of the company at risk, they have built the company up so much that they are now at a point where they can safely reinvest into it and take it to the next level.

[spp-timestamp time=”02:51″] Andy was from a film distribution background at Playboy. Building for the future.

[spp-timestamp time=”05:05″] Chip 4.0. We have to be our own Life Doctors and start questioning what we are learning and what we are putting into our bodies.

[spp-timestamp time=”11:56″] Being approached by Walmart.com, selling on Amazon and staying true to their brand.

[spp-timestamp time=”16:28″] Selling across the pond (UK & Beyond) and the complications that were involved when forming the UK Business Accounts. Pure Vitamin Club should be launching in the UK in Mid April’17.

[spp-timestamp time=”19:48″] Signing a deal to sell in Europe.

[spp-timestamp time=”21:42″] The scheduled launch for the UK was January now it is April 2017.

[spp-timestamp time=”22:40″] Patents and trademarking the supplements. It has taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to create the products you see on the website. These are pure vitamins. No fillers or bulking agents are in the product. Andy interviewed 40 manufacturing partners to get the vitamins made. He only found 2 out of the 40 that were willing to make them.

[spp-timestamp time=”24:56″] The power of networking.

[spp-timestamp time=”26:18″] Their new product, Vitamin B12. Why it was so tough to produce and how they are made. The best way to absorb B12 is sublingual (abbreviated SL, from the Latin for “under the tongue”).

[spp-timestamp time=”36:23″] Andy spoke before on Episode 24 about adding some peppermint flavoring to the B12 tablets but they have since decided against it. Most vitamins you would buy from the supermarket contain 4 to 5 components listed in the ingredients section of the label. This B12 product from Pure Vitamin Club has only two, B12 and Calcium, that is it!

[spp-timestamp time=”39:40″] Magnesium is a mineral that a lot of us are deficient in, especially many who live the Vegan and Vegetarian lifestyle.

[spp-timestamp time=”42:16″] “If You’re Not Embarrassed By The First Version Of Your Product, You’ve Launched Too Late” ~ Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn Quote.

[spp-timestamp time=”46:11″] Marketing, Psychology and good Customer Service.

[spp-timestamp time=”53:49″] Why everyone should be taking a B12 supplement.

[spp-timestamp time=”57:00″] Final Words

Final Words

All the time we are presented with challenges that make you think, “I don’t know how to do that”. Take a minute, stop and say to yourself, I don’t know how to do that? Then decide how to figure it out and then execute on it. Whatever challenge you face, you can figure it out. Pure Vitamin Club is a living embodiment of that.
