Are your joints painful? Do you suffer from daily discomfort? As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined.

 

In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good. 

 

Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death. Not to mention, they are just masking your pain... Giving you temporary relief...

 

While this may sound all doom and gloom, I do have good news... There is an all-natural solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort... A REAL solution that allows you to get back to being YOU!

 

And that solution is called Curcumin Gold made by my friends at Purality Health. Curcumin Gold contains Turmeric Curcumin Extract, Vegan Omega-3s, & Ginger Oil. These carefully selected ingredients support healthy joint function and address the root cause of inflammation within your body. Trust me when I say you won't find anything else on the market quite like this. In fact, my friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called 'MICELLE LIPOSOMAL' technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient!

 

Even better, it's backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon "DRJ" to access 30% OFF today!

 

What is the connection between the gut microbiome and Alzheimer's Disease? Most of us know someone affected by the onset of old age and perhaps Alzheimer's Disease. So what can we do to prevent this gradual decline in memory, thinking, behavior, and social skills from happening to us or those we love?

 

It turns out that we can start by looking at our gut for the answers. Today's expert is Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist, and six-time bestselling author. Understand the relationship between the intestinal barrier and the blood-brain barrier, as well as the connection between inflammation, 'leaky gut', and brain health. 

 

As always, there's a lot of good information in this episode featuring two experts in all things health. From the gut biome to the 'viome', and the difference between good and bad bacteria, fats, and oils, Dr. Perlmutter brings a proactive urgency to how we need to take care of our brains by looking after our guts. 

 

Please share this episode with anyone that you care about. It may just save, or at the very least radically improve somebody's life. Thanks for being a part of our community! Let's dive into the show!

 

 

"The relationship between the gut (in any way, not just the microbiome) in any of its functionality to the brain really is still, I think, pretty much neglected as it relates to the challenges that we as neurologists face, like Alzheimer's and MS." ~ Dr. Perlmutter
