And I’m right here with a chum of mine, Dr. Gina Nick, who’s the founding father of Apothicaire, which is a global, she’s additionally a global famend naturopathic doctor, researcher and formulator based totally in California.

So we move deep on that. We discuss the actual take care of what’s occurring with sugar intake and why, particularly this time of 12 months, that is such a very powerful subject to speak about guard in opposition to and undo the wear of now not simply sugar intake, however publicity to different stressors at the frame as neatly. And we simply get to have only a a laugh dialog. And should you’re observing this video, we’re each in Halloween costumes. In the event you occur to test it out on YouTube or social, you’ll see that as neatly. However please revel in this quick and a laugh and really informative dialog with Dr. Gina Nick. Dr. Gina, welcome. I’m so excited we get to speak nowadays.
Gina: I’m so excited to be talking to you. Thank you for having me in your podcast.
Katie: Oh, it’s an honor. We were given to fulfill in actual lifestyles lately and I knew instantly I’d need to have you ever at the podcast and likewise simply be buddies with you. And for people who find themselves observing, I don’t know, numerous folks simply pay attention, however the movies additionally make it to YouTube. So for someone observing, we’re each in dress nowadays as a result of this episode is airing on Halloween. And I felt like a in point of fact nice leaping in level for a Halloween dialog was once going to be to get at the soapbox just a little about sugar as a result of indisputably sugar intake ramps up now not simply with Halloween, however this complete time of 12 months, roughly like October thru New Yr’s, is a large sugar intake time.
And I do know you’ve achieved a ton of study and labored with a ton of folks on many spaces of well being, however I believed let’s focal point on sugar because the background level for leaping in nowadays. To be able to get started off, are you able to give us some primer in what’s occurring with our sugar intake and what’s going flawed with it?
Gina: So, numerous folks, everyone is aware of sugar isn’t just right for you. Don’t give your youngsters sugar, however all of us do. Grandparents are infamous for giving their grandkids sugar. And also you assume, neatly, why? Like, why? Why is it so, why is that the norm? And sugar electrifies the mind and it turns on the opioid gadget within the mind and it will provide you with a prime. It makes you are feeling satisfied and just right within the quick time period. You realize, and so after all youngsters will affiliate striking out with grandma and grandpa and feeling in point of fact just right. So what’s flawed with that? You realize, you assume that’s lovely blameless and there’s no factor there.
The problem is long-term. We all know that an excessive amount of sugar, sophisticated sugar, within the frame reasons irritation within the mind. And reasons long-term well being problems that aren’t simply reversible, takes a very long time. And so moderately, sugar is, will also be k, however in this day and age we devour extra sugar than ever prior to. And there’s the Global Well being Group will say, neatly, about 25 grams of sugar an afternoon is okay, however should you have a look at one, a drink of Coke is 44 grams of sugar, ? And so, and then you definitely multiply that out in accordance with what youngsters are in reality consuming and eating on a daily foundation.
And then you definitely convey a vacation like Halloween into the image. And the common intake for youngsters is 3 cups of sugar on Halloween. And that reasons harm to the mind, simply as a healthcare practitioner will say, “directly up, we discuss how sugar can build up chance for middle illness and decrease immune serve as and so on”. There isn’t numerous discuss what it in reality is doing and the hurt it’s inflicting to growing kid’s mind. And so it’s, sugar will also be extremely addictive and it will possibly have a equivalent affect to medicine.
Sugar is a drug. And we want to deal with it as such. And so, and in this day and age, there’s one thing referred to as a Rainbow fentanyl. Have you ever heard of that? So Rainbow fentanyl is 50 instances stronger than heroin. 100 instances stronger than morphine. And it’s made to seem like sweet. And so it’s been discovered, so much has been present in luggage of Skittles and Whoppers and Sweetarts. You realize, and so it’s a lovely critical scenario. This is going on at this time. So we don’t, , is there fentanyl in that bag of Skittles that our child is getting on Halloween and opening up and consuming, ?
And so I don’t need to be like Debbie Downer on Halloween reason Halloween’s a laugh and we get to dress up and glance wonderful like Katie seems to be, ? And our youngsters get to have a laugh and trick-or-treating or and that’s all very sure. Nevertheless it’s nearly, , this is a lifestyles or loss of life scenario. What if one in every of our youngsters opens up that bag of Skittles and there’s Rainbow fentanyl in there? Which is an overly actual factor going down nowadays. And so I simply really feel find it irresistible must be emphasised in oldsters.
We’re all so busy and there’s such a lot of stresses in lifestyles. And we’re simply looking to make our youngsters do neatly in class and simply be at liberty and feature a laugh on a vacation like Halloween as a result of there may be such a lot rigidity on this planet. And it’s only a time to calm down. However that is critical and our kids are in danger. So we want to in finding different answers to the place we will be able to rejoice the vacation and it may be wonderful with out risking our youngsters’ well being, now not most effective from simply extra intake of sugar on Halloween and post-Halloween during Christmas, but in addition having a look on the chance of being uncovered to medicine that may kill and so, it’s a significant factor.
I used to be having a look at some statistics about what quantity of money is spent on Halloween. $2.6 billion are spent in the United States on buying sweet simply on Halloween. So it’s an enormous trade. And so I would really like to speak about, and I do know you’ve numerous answers as a result of you’ve many youngsters, on what to do, realistically, as a mother. How do you maintain it? Proper? And so I’d like to proportion a few of my pointers and listen to what yours are as neatly.
Katie: Yeah. Smartly, and in your level, sadly, this isn’t simply an remoted day. It will be something if it had been actually in reality most effective in the future a 12 months that children had been consuming an insane quantity of sugar. It nonetheless wouldn’t be just right for them, however a minimum of it could be an acute factor that their frame may just with a bit of luck procedure and they’d really feel in point of fact unhealthy for a few days, however it could be acute.
And as a substitute, this has grow to be so pervasive in our society the place sugar is sort of a continuing with youngsters at birthday events, in school, anyplace they sugar hits. And such as you stated with the statistics, I didn’t are aware of it was once that prime of 3 cups of sugar on Halloween, however I do know I’ve observed various statistics of what number of actually loads of kilos of sugar folks consume, every particular person eats in a given 12 months. And that’s in point of fact staggering, particularly once we’re speaking about our youngsters, as a result of such as you stated, moderately, the frame has mechanisms for this the place we will be able to maintain carbohydrates, however we have those hyper-refined ingredients that didn’t used to exist in our vitamin that do have interaction with the frame as medicine, despite the fact that the youngsters with a bit of luck don’t seem to be encountering the a lot more unhealthy variations of gear which can be hiding in sugar. However sugar by itself has a drug-like interplay with the mind, particularly in youngsters.
And from what I’ve learn, particularly while you mix it with such things as meals dyes, and particularly when it’s in giant quantities, and particularly when it’s in a growing mind, the affect is far, a lot larger. So I would really like to speak about some sensible methods. I do know you’ve a daughter as neatly and that you just’re almost certainly like very cautious of guiding her in nice instructions with this whilst additionally now not like iron fist limiting her lifestyles such that she creates forbidden issues with meals. And that’s one thing I take into consideration regularly as neatly. So I’ll proportion a few of mine additionally, however I would really like to listen to your methods for protecting the thrill of celebrations and vacations with out it at all times being concerned with sugar.
Gina: Yeah, neatly for Halloween, I used to be chatting with Pedram of City Monk the day past, and we each have one way of, and you almost certainly do too, the place for my daughter, she’ll convey the entire sweet house after which we’ll change it out, and she or he’ll get to pick one thing in point of fact superior that she desires. And I’m completely k with that as a result of I do know the long-term affect that simply eating that sugar that in the future has on her well being and wellbeing and now with the hazards of gear, and many others.
So I’ll do exactly, we’ll do a change out, so she’ll get one thing even higher than that bag of sweet. That’s a easy, simple factor. After I’m giving out treats for trick-or-treaters, I’ll do exactly like I’ve those little lovable pumpkins they usually’ll have little treats in there that aren’t sugar, like little spider rings and tattoos and transient tattoos and such things as that, which can be a laugh and I’ll pick some low sugar. There are some lovely just right low sugar chocolates in the marketplace in this day and age. We do are living in a time the place now we have much more choices than oldsters did 50 years in the past. And so I’ll intermix a laugh toys with low sugar chocolates as neatly.
After which every other factor I’ve been looking to educate my very own daughter and I attempted to show my sufferers to proportion with their youngsters is after they requested for that Twix sweet bar. Moderately than simply pronouncing, Gabby, my daughter will say, “hi there, can I’ve this?” And I’ll say, “neatly, I would like you to come to a decision”. You realize, you’ve were given me as a mother, so sure, you’re lovely neatly skilled at the affect of sugar and dyes and all of that, however you’re nonetheless a child. And you continue to have the entire affect of everyone else round you consuming this stuff. And so that you’re acutely aware of what it will possibly do in your frame, however you additionally know moderately, it’s k. It’s now not going, , it’s now not that terrible.
And so I’m guiding her to come to a decision for herself. What’s easiest for her frame and in point of fact begin to get involved. She’s 11, so get involved with what, what does she really feel is easiest for her as opposed to asking mother if she will be able to or can’t have it. So I’m placing the duty again on her as a result of in the end we’re all accountable for our personal well being. And I’m looking to put across that at a tender age. In order that that develops through the years.
Katie: I feel that’s so necessary. One in all my first rules with my youngsters is that they’re every their very own countless self sufficient being. And naturally, after they’re younger, we do should be very hands-on with caring for them and make many selections for them after they’re particularly young children.
However I feel such as you defined so superbly, on every occasion we’re in a position to offer them the decision-making, to begin with, they regularly can marvel us. As a result of they’re so in a position to working out and making just right choices they usually’re resilient. So in the event that they’re 90% of the time making nice possible choices, it’s actually now not the top of the sector in the event that they make a selection to consume that sweet every so often. However I believe like that mindset of them getting to choose between an early age is so necessary as a result of we’re now not at all times going to be there. And in the future they’ll be interacting with the sector with out our recommendation and steering on each resolution. And so the sooner they get to have possession of that call and in point of fact like really feel the consequences and personal it themselves, I believe like that’s the sort of wholesome framework for transferring into maturity too.
Gina: Yeah, yeah. I imply, youngsters are accountable. They’re in the end accountable for their, , well being and wellbeing, or a minimum of that’s, , we need to put across that to youngsters so that finally that clicks. They usually do take, , I want extra adults would take, actually take duty for their very own well being, , and do their easiest to stick attached with their very own our bodies to come to a decision what are the most efficient meals to consume, how a lot sugar is ok or now not k for my frame and my mind, , as a result of the ones issues alternate through the years.
Katie: Yeah. And I feel there’s additionally price like the way you do and I do as neatly in now not making the rest completely forbidden ever instead of after all the issues we actually do must stay them secure from. However as a foolish instance of that, I feel again not to being allowed to get my ears pierced till I used to be 13 after which short of a 2d piercing and my oldsters wouldn’t let me. And so after I became 18, I at one level had like 33 piercings as it was once a forbidden factor. And after I glance again, I’m like, the ones didn’t even really feel just right. It was once exhausting to sleep for like six months as a result of my ears had been swollen. Like I didn’t in reality almost certainly need the ones. They changed into sexy as a result of they had been forbidden.
And so I’ve attempted with my youngsters by no means to love even paint the image as like just right and unhealthy or forbidden or you’ll’t, however to identical to you to teach them about it and accept as true with they in point of fact are so in a position to working out at the sort of younger age. We additionally do the transfer, which and industry out for one thing that’s a now not processed sugar choice on Halloween.
And I feel in point of fact the thrill of it regularly is the time with buddies, the dressing up, the strolling round, which is in reality a super a part of Halloween in the event that they’re strolling round neighborhoods and getting some motion in. And likewise if it had been in a position in our personal communities to concentrate on the ones portions, like our group in most cases has like just a little birthday celebration within the circle on the heart of the group and there’s wholesome treats out like greens, end result, protein resources, and the youngsters all get to play and there’s song after which they stroll round and trick-or-treat. However the point of interest is the neighborhood, now not the sugar. And I feel anytime we will be able to construct that into that’s the sort of tough technique.
Gina: Yeah, that’s a more fit method to get that prime, proper? Is having neighborhood and feeling attached to each other. I imply, that’s going to provide you with that, a real prime as opposed to the false prime of taking in sugar and it electrifying your mind and you are feeling nice for half-hour and then you definitely crash. And then you definitely’ve were given this inflammatory procedure going down, which is what’s going down, ?
And now, I imply, on account of COVID, I imply, COVID in point of fact prompted this factor of persistent irritation within the frame and I see it at all times in my follow. And I simply really feel like youngsters are much more susceptible to this irritation that’s going down on account of publicity to COVID and stresses in our global nowadays. And with their growing mind, that’s the place we in point of fact do want to be extra aware of what are they taking in that may turn on a good larger inflammatory reaction that may reason such things as consideration deficit dysfunction, obsessive compulsive dysfunction, addictive behaviors past sugar. So yeah, emphasizing I’m a large proponent for encouraging neighborhood and connection, and since that’s what we’re missing in this day and age. And in point of fact is, it’s my reality that that in point of fact is a very powerful method to treating probably the most well being stipulations that we’re seeing. In our nation, in our global.
Katie: I absolutely agree. And I feel the mind piece is so key as neatly, as a result of I noticed one time mind scans of people that had been on numerous sugar, they usually had been similar to individuals who had been on cocaine on account of the mind adjustments that came about within the mind. And so I feel indisputably, once more, the dose makes the poison, but if youngsters are chronically over eating sugar, it’s affecting their brains.
It’s additionally affecting their livers. And we’re seeing the upward push of such things as non-alcoholic fatty liver illness, even in kids. We’re after all seeing persistent well being stipulations on the upward push around the board in all age teams. And so that is apparently an increasingly more necessary downside and person who doesn’t appear to be now we have discovered resolve as of but. So I like that you just’re teaching in this and it looks as if you need to mention one thing else too.
Gina: I’m simply serious about the packaged meals which can be advertised to youngsters and the quantity of sugar that’s in them. And now we all know there’s, there’s over 264 alternative ways to mention sugar on a label. Proper? So it will now not simply the label, while you’re having a look at purchasing meals in your kids and for your self, you may now not see sugar at the label however doesn’t imply that sugar’s now not in there. Prime fructose corn syrup. There’s even such things as agave syrup, it’s nonetheless sugar. Proper. And so simply being acutely aware of the truth that maximum processed meals and packaged meals have some sugar in there, despite the fact that it’s now not classified as such, otherwise you don’t acknowledge the title for it.
In order that simply getting, I feel now greater than ever, it’s necessary to escape up to conceivable from packaged and processed meals and simply in point of fact get again to fundamentals entire meals, preferably in the community grown, simply transferring again in that path one step at a time. And it’s a kind of issues the place all of us have such a lot on our plates in this day and age, and it’s charge advantage research, how value it’s it to place that effort in to assist my kid or kids transfer clear of a prime sugar vitamin. And that’s the place I’m pronouncing it in point of fact is worthwhile for now and long run, so that we’ve got transparent pondering youngsters making choices in our global transferring ahead.
Katie: Completely. And at the mind well being facet, particularly, I do know that you’ve got achieved in reality plenty of issues within the analysis facet and the scientific facet and in in point of fact researching now not simply how sugar affects our our bodies, however what number of, many stuff do and discovering the ones cost-effective and cost-benefit research answers that may in point of fact assist. And we were given to bond as a result of we had been speaking about glutathione at a contemporary tournament. And it sort of feels like there’s numerous knowledge right here as neatly and simply how sugar will also be damaging to the mind. There are issues which can be exceptional for the mind and for the frame in numerous tactics. And I additionally love to focus on the phase that despite the fact that somebody has had well being problems prior to now or has over ate up sugar, the frame could also be extremely adaptable and resilient. And the wonder is it desires to transport towards therapeutic. So despite the fact that you’ve skilled the ones issues, nearly at all times there’s issues you’ll do this will assist the frame then transfer in a favorable path and really feel higher and undo numerous that harm. So all is by no means misplaced, despite the fact that youngsters have eaten heaps of sugar.
However I would really like to shift the dialog just a little bit into answers on a extra organic stage as neatly and delve into probably the most paintings that you just’ve achieved in this. I do know you also have some cool merchandise that give numerous the thrill enjoy of one thing like a deal with, however with most effective advantages. So discuss out of your analysis and your scientific enjoy, what are probably the most issues that we will be able to do this are supportive when we keep away from the sugar?
Gina: Yeah, so one in every of my favourite elements is glutathione. There are over 100,000 scientific analysis research at the energy of glutathione to decrease irritation within the mind, assist with addictive sort behaviors, reinforce immune serve as, detox the liver. You’re speaking about liver well being and sugar, steadiness hormone ranges. And so glutathione is, it’s regarded as the mummy of all antioxidants. So it is helping to neutralize unfastened radicals, toxins from the environment, from our meals, from eating an excessive amount of sugar.
And so it’s one in every of, it’s referred to as a Tripeptide. So it’s only a aggregate of 3 amino acids naturally going on within the frame. But if we’re uncovered to numerous rigidity, and irritation and uncovered to viruses and micro organism and mould and these kinds of problems which can be up now, glutathione in point of fact is helping to counteract the ones issues in a herbal method and our frame’s call for for glutathione is upper now than ever prior to.
And one of the most issues I in point of fact like about this element is it crosses the blood-brain barrier. And so it has a profound affect at the mind. And the mind may be very delicate to toxins. It’s very delicate to sugar, it’s very delicate to medicine, it’s very delicate to maximum to toxins, and there isn’t a prime quantity of glutathione within the mind. So when your personal herbal resources get depleted, it makes your mind much more susceptible to the ones toxins. And that’s the place introducing glutathione into your frame could have simply an out of this world impact.
I’ve been the use of it in my follow for over two decades. And so I’m very enthusiastic about this actual element. And I’ve formulated dietary supplements for an overly, very very long time. And when folks question me if I will be able to simply take something, I don’t need to take these kinds of different issues, if I may just simply take something, what would it not be? And that’s after I’ve in point of fact sat down with that. It will be glutathione. That’s the, if I may just most effective, there’s numerous issues I might suggest folks take, however it could be a very powerful.
And when it pertains to such things as Halloween and sugar intake, glutathione is only a actual tough counter to that. And it’s so therapeutic to the frame. So while you’re speaking about how the frame has the facility to heal itself, your frame’s amazed. I imply, it’s wonderful. It’s at all times looking to get again to a state of homeostasis or steadiness. And it is rather resilient. And so it doesn’t matter what the attacks had been or what number of unintelligent errors all of us make, proper? On the subject of our personal well being and wellbeing, that’s k since the frame’s at all times looking to get again to steadiness.
So I’m partial to give the frame what it wishes. Give your frame what it wishes so it will possibly do its activity and get you to the place you need to be. And so glutathione’s a kind of issues that I believe is essential. To take, I like to recommend each day at a low dose to reinforce general well being and wellbeing. And simply, I imply, the ends up in sufferers, it’s simply wonderful. It’s an overly, very tough element.
Katie: Yeah. Smartly, such as you stated too, all the ones such things as sugar, like publicity to toxins, no matter it can be, they’re an attack at the frame that may dissipate numerous issues, however amongst them glutathione ranges. And I’ve at all times idea it’s humorous that we think that like chilly and flu season, it’s identical to these kinds of viruses simply move latent in the summertime after which they simply wake again up within the wintry weather. And likewise all of these items alternate in that season of the autumn, like we mentioned even simply with sugar, the place we’re now not getting as a lot daylight, sleep patterns alternate. And I might bet glutathione ranges on account of the ones also are down at the moment of 12 months.

However to be secure for young children, they discovered he wanted a wearable weighted sleep answer. They usually made it their undertaking to expand that and make it to be had for different young children. They’ve now made a deal on Shark Tank, been featured in Forbes, and are bought at shops in all places the rustic. They usually’re maximum proud to have helped over 500,000 households get extra sleep. I like this as a result of that is one thing that I’ve mentioned from an grownup standpoint, how weighted blankets can assist calm the apprehensive gadget and toughen sleep. And that is now a secure child choice. So like I stated, surely test it out, particularly when you’ve got any little ones via going to dreamlandbabyco.com and use the code MAMA20 to avoid wasting 20% site-wide and get unfastened delivery.
This podcast is subsidized via LMNT. I’ve liked this corporate for hydration and for electrolytes, and that is one thing I devour nearly each day and likewise give to my highschool youngsters who’re athletes and my more youthful youngsters to assist stay them hydrated within the scorching local weather that we are living in and with as a lot process as we’re doing. And I’m excited to announce that LMNT has made grapefruit one in every of their everlasting choices! This was once a seasonal taste and it was once one in every of my favorites and now it’s to be had at all times, anytime of 12 months.
Right here’s the object, optimum well being and hydration in point of fact rely on minerals.
Do you know that consuming an excessive amount of simple water with out adequately taking our mineral content material under consideration can in reality reason us to be much less hydrated, despite the fact that we’re consuming numerous water? And that’s why I’ve in point of fact delved into the analysis round minerals and feature made this a concern for me. I feel that is extremely necessary for now not simply hydration, however for mineral steadiness, together with sleep, together with workout efficiency, together with so a lot more. LMNT has a variety of taste choices for this, together with ones that my youngsters love like watermelon and grapefruit, additionally citrus, raspberry. They have got an entire host of choices that can assist you build up your mineral content material and your availability in a scrumptious method. And you’ll take a look at all in their choices and get a unfastened pattern pack with any order via going to drinklmnt.com/wellnessmama.
And it sort of feels like a minimum of the research I’ve observed best stage, glutathione performs a large key in, after all, mind well being, but in addition immune gadget well being. And so this time of 12 months, I believe like that’s an extremely necessary focal point.
I’d like to delve into the nuance of glutathione, as a result of in all probability folks have heard about other sorts of glutathione or gotten a glutathione IV or assume that it must be liposomal structure. So I would really like so that you can unpack for us just a little of the other sorts of glutathione and why an oral one will also be in point of fact, in point of fact advantageous over the long run.
Gina: Yeah, I’ve used all sorts of glutathione through the years in my follow. And so there’s some controversy about the usage of, we’ll get started with IV, essentially the most, the place you’d get the best possible dose within the shortest period of time. And so with IV glutathione, there may be some controversy or query about while you’re taking that a lot glutathione in at one time, how a lot is actually getting absorbed into the bloodstream, into the pink blood cells, into the muscles, into the mind, as a result of glutathione is underneath tight homeostatic keep an eye on. So your frame’s in point of fact sensible and it has those tight laws. In the event you get an excessive amount of glutathione, your frame’s going to reject it. And should you don’t have sufficient, you don’t have sufficient, you wish to have extra. And so extra isn’t at all times higher. Even if glutathione is astounding, you don’t want an excessive amount of to have a terrific impact at the frame. And so IV glutathione, in positive scenarios I will be able to see as precious, however now not for the hundreds and now not regularly.
There’s additionally intramuscular injections of glutathione and I do the ones in my follow as neatly. And once more, the ones are in positive scenarios will also be extremely advantageous and precious. No longer everyone desires to get a shot. They are able to be dear and now not everyone wishes them. And in order that’s one shape.
After which with oral glutathione, it’s now not at all times strong. So there’s a subject matter about if you are taking glutathione in a tablet shape, a powdered shape, a liposomal shape, how a lot of it’s in point of fact getting absorbed. And so through the years, what I’ve discovered is among the easiest tactics has been liposomal supply automobiles for glutathione. The problem is compliance. I couldn’t get my sufferers to stick on it. I couldn’t stay taking it as a result of I didn’t, it simply didn’t style just right to me. And maximum sufferers, it simply, the palatability isn’t there. And that’s been the primary factor.
And so all the way through COVID, whilst I’m homeschooling and doing the entire issues and looking to see sufferers and the whole lot, I used to be doing numerous analysis on glutathione and I used to be like, and I do know that glutathione prevents a critical response to COVID and is helping with irritation and these kinds of issues. And so I put in combination a components and it was once nearly like divinely impressed as it was once proper off the bat. And I put this components in combination.
