Foundational Wellness recap with Alex DaBell

<<0>> Hello everyone and welcome to the terrau

<<2>> the official podcast of the Terra

<<4>> Europe. Today I'm interviewing Alex

<<6>> Deell and I cannot wait to get started.

<<9>> Alex, thank you so much for being here

<<10>> with us. Oh, it's my pleasure to be with

<<12>> you. Okay, so obviously we have this VMG

<<15>> so I think we should just get started.

<<18>> Let's do it. To start us off, can you

<<20>> share a little bit of your background?

<<22>> Maybe uh what drawing you into the world

<<24>> of wellness, nutrition? Yeah, a little

<<26>> bit of myself. I I mean I grew up kind

<<29>> of a curious

<<31>> guy um family of nine kids and okay um

<<36>> living in you know the western United

<<38>> States with mountains and things. So I

<<39>> always had a a bit of a curiosity for

<<42>> how things work. you know, of course,

<<44>> enjoy the world around, but I noticed um

<<49>> when I got to high school, um I noticed

<<52>> in my classes that I had a particular

<<55>> interest and affinity for chemistry, for

<<59>> anatomy, physiology, those types of

<<61>> things. And it worked well because with

<<64>> my curiosity and understanding how

<<65>> things work, it translated into the

<<68>> body, into health and wellness.

<<70>> And then that just kind of developed

<<73>> through um into college and and and

<<78>> I saw some opportunities to really

<<81>> pursue this as far as you know my own

<<83>> personal interests and then that

<<85>> translated into needs in the world and

<<88>> in the marketplace. And so um that's

<<90>> kind of where the interest grew from and

<<94>> then professional opportunities came

<<96>> about from there. So, Alex, we've just

<<98>> launched BMG Plus at convention. Can you

<<101>> please tell us a bit more about what um

<<104>> inspired you to create this product?

<<107>> Yeah, there's a few reasons um we put

<<110>> VMG Plus together. We of course

<<113>> recognize the importance of

<<114>> micronutrient support. So, at its core,

<<118>> VMG provides nutrients that all of our

<<121>> bodies need. Um,

<<124>> historically when there have been these

<<127>> deficiencies of micronutrients, you

<<130>> start to see an accumulation of um,

<<133>> disease states in the population. And

<<135>> people recognize this over time. And so

<<140>> you have certain nutrients like for

<<143>> example

<<145>> a vitamin. The the term

<<149>> vitamin is really compound from two

<<151>> different terms. vital amine. And

<<154>> people, you know, scientists and medical

<<157>> professionals recognize that when you

<<160>> don't have these micronutrients,

<<162>> you have the deficiency that builds up

<<165>> and it accelerates aging. It accelerates

<<167>> the development of different disease

<<169>> states. So, it's been very well

<<172>> established that these nutrients are

<<175>> needed for everyone. And so we thought,

<<178>> well, what is what is a way that we can

<<180>> efficiently deliver these to people in

<<184>> the most effective forms in a format

<<187>> that is enjoyable for them to use, that

<<189>> it's convenient. Um, at Doera, you know,

<<193>> people love sharing our products with

<<196>> one another. So, we wanted to be

<<197>> sharable that um people can build a

<<201>> business with. And so all of these

<<204>> different factors come together and it

<<207>> kind of starts to inform what the

<<210>> product might look like because we want

<<212>> to be able to check all these different

<<213>> boxes. And um we've been able to over

<<218>> the years I' I've been doing um in

<<220>> involved with research and development

<<222>> in nutritional biochemistry for a couple

<<224>> of decades. And so you start to gather

<<228>> an awareness of what's available as far

<<230>> as the latest science and technology,

<<233>> the latest delivery formats. And we

<<236>> wanted to incorporate those things into

<<238>> VMG Plus in a way that we haven't done

<<240>> before at Doera. Okay. So, Alex, can we

<<243>> actually take a step back and talk about

<<246>> foundational wellness and what it means

<<247>> for us, please? Yeah. When we think

<<250>> about foundational wellness, it's really

<<253>> combining two different terms. Um to

<<256>> have complete wellness, we need to have

<<259>> a strong foundation. And when we think

<<260>> of the wellness chart, at the base of

<<263>> the wellness chart, we have nutrition

<<265>> and digestion. So at Doera, we're very

<<268>> intentional about promoting not only

<<271>> amazing products, but also healthy

<<273>> lifestyle choices. And so things like

<<276>> getting enough sleep, avoiding

<<279>> environmental exposure to different

<<280>> toxins or getting our daily movement to

<<284>> support metabolism

<<286>> um at the base of the wellness chart,

<<290>> VMG plus combined with healthy dietary

<<293>> choices are really going to help support

<<296>> uh the foundational wellness that

<<298>> everything else is built on. That's

<<301>> beautiful. So does it mean that anything

<<303>> else that we are doing on top in terms

<<305>> of supplements um does it mean it works

<<309>> better for us? It does work better and

<<312>> if if we don't have that strong

<<314>> foundation then the other things you can

<<317>> imagine you know a tower that is more

<<320>> prone to tipping over and so we get a

<<323>> much better return on the investment

<<326>> when we have that solid foundation. So,

<<329>> um, why do you believe it's important to

<<331>> focus on foundational wellness and not

<<333>> just cherrypick a few supplements here

<<335>> and there when I need it? Yeah, we

<<338>> really need to address um wellness as a

<<341>> holistic

<<342>> a holistic approach. And so, you see

<<346>> that in our product offering, but um

<<349>> when people try to kind of maybe cut

<<352>> corners, Yeah. take a shortcut and

<<354>> they're they're thinking, you know,

<<356>> maybe I don't have to worry about this.

<<359>> In the short term, you might be able to

<<360>> get away with a few things like that,

<<362>> but it catches up with you, especially

<<364>> over time. Uh the things will start to

<<366>> compound, the the challenges will start

<<368>> to compound and it starts to erode uh

<<372>> what wellness looks like for you. So, uh

<<374>> it's it's important to be mindful of the

<<377>> little details. Yeah, I think it's just

<<379>> sometimes it's easier for people to uh

<<382>> be wanting a quick, you know, shortcut

<<384>> like, okay, I need this. Let me just get

<<386>> that without necessarily looking at the

<<388>> bigger picture. But this is what we're

<<390>> trying to do here. Yeah. Yeah. If you if

<<393>> you cut corners, you're not going to get

<<395>> the same results that you are hoping

<<397>> for. So, yeah, let's just talk about

<<399>> this product more and more. What makes

<<401>> it special?

<<403>> Uh there are a few things about VMG that

<<406>> make it unique. Um not just different

<<409>> but uniquely effective and and one of a

<<412>> kind really in all the world. Um when I

<<415>> think of what makes it special, it's

<<417>> almost like asking you know do you have

<<420>> a favorite child? I was about to think

<<422>> that I I think about this with uh with

<<424>> my children and depending on the day

<<426>> sometimes I do have a favorite child. Um

<<428>> but there there are a few aspects

<<432>> um of VMG+ that really stand out as key

<<436>> uh differentiators

<<438>> and I I think um the nutrient sources is

<<442>> a key differentiator. Um our intentional

<<446>> support for cellular health and wellness

<<449>> is int is really important and then our

<<451>> bioavailability boosting. I think those

<<454>> three components and um maybe to give a

<<457>> little bit more detail on those um we

<<460>> have in VMG in the formula we've

<<462>> included a nutrition blend we call it

<<465>> nutrition blend and this is composed of

<<468>> four different superfoods. Um we have

<<470>> amla, guava, moringa and lemon. And the

<<475>> the definition of a superfood is is a a

<<478>> food or botanical source that is

<<480>> exceptionally dense in nutrients. And so

<<484>> you can imagine that these four

<<486>> superfoods coming together now providing

<<489>> the majority of micronutrient content in

<<492>> V&G plus it makes it one of a kind. In

<<495>> fact, I mentioned you know a couple

<<498>> decades being involved in research and

<<500>> development, product development. Um,

<<503>> this is

<<505>> not only uncommon but really unheard of

<<510>> to have all natural botanically sourced

<<514>> micronutrients in a product. So, I don't

<<517>> I don't imagine that people are going to

<<519>> see a product just like this. It's more

<<522>> than just a greens product. It's more

<<523>> than just a delicious powder drink mix.

<<527>> Um the second component that I described

<<531>> you know the cellular support blend um

<<533>> when you talk about

<<536>> you foundational wellness and supporting

<<538>> our health and wellness we do this at

<<540>> the cellular level. Um because cells

<<543>> contribute to tissues which make up

<<545>> organs and our whole our whole organism.

<<548>> And so if we want to have good health

<<550>> and wellness, we need to support our

<<552>> cellular health. And so we do this with

<<555>> unique ingredients in VMG+ that help to

<<560>> neutralize free radicals for example

<<562>> that will otherwise contribute to

<<563>> oxidative stress. And that oxidative

<<566>> stress um it really starts to wear down

<<568>> how different enzymes and proteins

<<570>> inside of our cells are working or not

<<573>> they should be working and that causes

<<575>> problems. And then the third unique

<<577>> aspect um and this is you know where

<<581>> essential oils come into play with VMG

<<583>> plus is the bioavailability like we can

<<586>> design the most amazing product but if

<<589>> you can't absorb it it's not useless.

<<592>> Yeah exactly you won't be able to

<<594>> benefit from it like you should be. So,

<<596>> we include unique delivery technology

<<599>> like the liposomes and the essential

<<601>> oils that allow our cells to actually

<<604>> absorb and utilize the nutrients that

<<606>> we've included in BMG. That's amazing.

<<609>> So, as an example, I'm talking um for

<<611>> myself here. I know I am uh iron

<<614>> deficient. Do you think that VMG could

<<617>> help somebody like me maybe absorbing

<<619>> better the iron contained in the

<<621>> formula? We did some uh clinical studies

<<624>> to look at the rate of iron absorption.

<<627>> So iron was our our mineral of choice

<<629>> that we wanted to demonstrate the

<<631>> increased absorption and we saw a

<<633>> six-fold increase in iron absorption

<<636>> compared to um iron that is not

<<639>> delivered in the same way. So with

<<640>> essential oils with the liposal delivery

<<642>> and so um it absolutely does help people

<<646>> to absorb not just vitamins but minerals

<<649>> and other phytonutrients. Okay, I'm

<<651>> excited to try that out. Yeah. Um, you

<<654>> just mentioned just now uh liposal

<<656>> delivery. Could you please explain uh

<<658>> that a little bit more and what it means

<<660>> again for some of us who are not

<<662>> necessarily uh aware of what even

<<664>> liposomes are? Sure. Yeah. Uh liposomes

<<667>> is not the most commonly recognized

<<670>> term, right? But um it's it's pretty

<<672>> straightforward in the sense that um all

<<675>> of our cells, they have a structure to

<<678>> them. They have a cell membrane. And our

<<681>> cell membrane is made up of a lipid

<<683>> billayer. So by layer, two layers

<<686>> together. And the phospholipids that

<<688>> make up the cell membrane, that's the

<<691>> same structure that a liposome um is

<<693>> made up of. And so by delivering

<<695>> nutrients in a sphere that mimics the

<<699>> structure of our cells, our cells

<<702>> recognize that structure and therefore

<<704>> they're they're able to better absorb

<<706>> the nutrients when they're delivered in

<<707>> this manner. And even beyond just

<<709>> absorption, we're able to retain those

<<712>> nutrients longer. So we talk about

<<715>> bioavailability and that's certainly

<<717>> important, but bio retention is also

<<720>> really important. Having those nutrients

<<722>> stay in the body longer um just

<<725>> increases their value. And this term bio

<<727>> retention is something that um when I

<<730>> started studying the product was a term

<<732>> that was new to me personally. Um so

<<735>> again is this something that we should

<<737>> talk about? Is it something that we

<<739>> should educate ourselves more? Yeah.

<<742>> Yeah. I mean so a lot of nutrients we

<<745>> have fats soluble nutrients and water

<<746>> soluble nutrients. Water- soluble

<<748>> nutrients are generally more readily

<<751>> absorbed but they're also more easily

<<754>> cleared from the body and that's not

<<757>> always a good thing. It can lead to uh

<<760>> depletion of important micronutrients.

<<762>> So this bio retention staying nutrients

<<766>> staying in the body is really really

<<769>> valuable. Um and that's one of the

<<771>> reasons we're uh utilizing this delivery

<<774>> technology to increase the bio

<<776>> retention. Amazing. Have we done any

<<778>> test to uh see how how much longer the

<<783>> uh nutrients are staying in the body and

<<785>> when actually our body is absorbing

<<788>> whatever nutrients it's needed at

<<790>> whatever time. Yeah. No, I'm I'm glad

<<793>> you asked this question. It's like

<<795>> you're reading my mind. This is great.

<<797>> Um yeah, so the same types of tests that

<<801>> show the increase in bioavailability, we

<<804>> you'll take um blood samples and look at

<<807>> how much of the nutrient is there in the

<<809>> blood compared to um not delivered in

<<812>> the same manner. And we can see in the

<<815>> area under the curve from the blood

<<817>> sample, what is the concentration in the

<<819>> blood over time? So how many hours later

<<822>> compared to the non- liposomaal

<<825>> non-essential oil delivery method versus

<<828>> the method that we're using in VMG plus

<<830>> and we see an increase in so the initial

<<833>> spike is where we would see the increase

<<836>> in bioavailability and then how long

<<838>> that that level stays elevated is

<<841>> representing the bio retention. So we

<<843>> see this extend out 8 10 even 12 hours.

<<847>> Oh wow. where typically you'll see it

<<849>> drop down again and it's more pronounced

<<852>> with water soluble nutrients that it

<<854>> drops down. Oh wow. Um does it also mean

<<857>> that we might get more energy out of

<<859>> this product? Like we will feel we might

<<862>> feel a bit more uh alive and just ready

<<864>> to go. Yeah. I mean you think of um the

<<869>> production of energy inside of the

<<870>> cells. We take food or fuel and it's

<<874>> converted into cellular energy or ATP.

<<876>> And this process you know of glycolysis

<<878>> of converting carbohydrates and fats in

<<881>> particular into cellular energy requires

<<884>> important vitamin co-actors and we are

<<887>> providing those co-actors in VMG. So

<<891>> with the increased uptake with the

<<893>> increased retention your cells have

<<895>> those co-actors to be able to convert

<<897>> that fuel into energy. So that

<<899>> absolutely does increase uh one of the

<<902>> benefits that people will appreciate is

<<904>> increased cellular energy. Amazing. It

<<907>> sounds like um we've created you've

<<909>> created something like a perfect recipe

<<911>> for ourselves to just run along and do

<<914>> the the job perfectly. Yeah. I mean

<<917>> that's the goal is that we're we're

<<919>> making sure that the nutritional gaps

<<921>> are no longer gaps, right? that this is

<<925>> designed to be a convenient way for

<<927>> people to make sure that they're

<<929>> consuming these nutrients that they need

<<931>> to then have, you know, their highest

<<933>> quality of life, have the energy that

<<935>> they need, the the mental clarity and

<<937>> focus and memory, um the immune defense

<<941>> that they need. So, all of these

<<943>> different areas that we recognize as

<<945>> quality living, it really comes from

<<948>> having the nutritional support. That's

<<950>> amazing. And I know obviously we have

<<953>> some very special essential oils uh

<<955>> included in this product. So could you

<<958>> please uh tell us more about this uh

<<960>> specific essential oils? Yeah, I do of

<<964>> course is known for our essential oils.

<<966>> Um we have you know unrivaled uh

<<969>> sourcing network and we understand the

<<972>> chemistry of essential oils uh like no

<<975>> others do. And so we've we've leaned on

<<978>> that unique knowledge of specific

<<981>> essential oil chemistry to enhance the

<<983>> micronutrient absorption. So lemongrass,

<<986>> ginger, peppermint, wild orange for

<<989>> example. Um, we wanted to take advantage

<<994>> of the constituent chemistry of those

<<996>> essential oils which have good research

<<998>> on increasing gut permeability for

<<1001>> example or um activating enzymes that

<<1005>> are involved in digestion. And in this

<<1008>> way by including these essential oils

<<1010>> with the liposomes we improve the

<<1012>> bioavailability and the uptake of the

<<1014>> nutrients. And so it's not that the

<<1017>> essential oils are imparting a specific

<<1019>> flavor or aroma. They play a specific,

<<1023>> you know, valuable functional role in

<<1025>> the VMG Plus formula. Well, we have two

<<1029>> little sache here. So, what do you say?

<<1032>> Should we Should we try it? Let's do it.

<<1034>> Perfect. So, how how do we take this

<<1036>> product? How do you personally take this

<<1038>> product? Uh, it's it's it's designed to

<<1041>> be convenient. So, it's it's pretty

<<1043>> convenient. Not everybody loves to uh

<<1046>> swallow a bunch of pills for example. So

<<1049>> we designed this ready to mix goes into

<<1052>> solution. You drink it. The most

<<1054>> important thing and how I like to do it.

<<1057>> I put the most important um tasks in my

<<1061>> day at the beginning of my day. Okay. I

<<1064>> won't be like distracted by everything

<<1066>> else that's going on in the day and

<<1068>> forget about that. So I I use a product

<<1071>> like BMG in the morning. And for two

<<1075>> reasons. One, I won't forget to use it.

<<1078>> And then perhaps even more importantly,

<<1081>> my my body now has access to those

<<1083>> nutrients all day long. Um, but it's

<<1086>> really easy to use. It tastes great.

<<1089>> It's convenient delivery format. Um, so

<<1092>> that's kind of how that's how I use it

<<1094>> and that's how I recommend most people

<<1096>> use it. Okay. Little taste test. Cheers.

<<1105>> It's It's just delicious. Pineapple

<<1107>> mango. I cannot believe like I think the

<<1110>> first time I tried this um I was trying

<<1112>> the US sample and I just I was in total

<<1116>> disbelief because I did try my fair

<<1117>> share of green powders and the taste it

<<1121>> was just disgusting. It was very green.

<<1124>> Yeah. And yeah, this is completely

<<1128>> different. it. Sometimes um I've tried

<<1130>> products like this where um it reminds

<<1133>> me of a kid playing on the grass and

<<1136>> your face gets pressed into the grass. I

<<1138>> I know the feeling but obviously you

<<1141>> mentioned the the difference a little

<<1143>> bit between this and taking pills but

<<1145>> can we go um one more layer down and

<<1149>> talking a little bit about uh the

<<1151>> differences about um you know BMG plus

<<1154>> and LLV and I know they're completely

<<1156>> two different products and again it

<<1158>> would be maybe like asking you what's

<<1160>> your favorite child. No, it's a very

<<1163>> logical question that we get um a fair

<<1166>> amount.

<<1168>> Um both products, lifelong vitality and

<<1172>> I guess our foundational wellness or VMG

<<1176>> plus, they're designed to provide

<<1178>> lifelong vitality. That's the product

<<1179>> promise. And so I've described it

<<1182>> before. Um we're supporting the same

<<1185>> outcome through two different paths.

<<1188>> One of the advantages of a product like

<<1191>> VMG+ is just the convenience that we're

<<1194>> combining multiple products into one. So

<<1196>> when you look at the, you know, 75 plus

<<1199>> ingredients in VMG plus and the delivery

<<1202>> format now, um, Lifelong Vitality is

<<1206>> fantastic, right? Three different

<<1208>> products together. um you can split them

<<1211>> out um which some people might like to

<<1214>> do for various reasons but with

<<1216>> microplex alpha CRS and Z omega you have

<<1219>> different components in VMG you get a

<<1222>> consolidation of those different blends

<<1225>> in VMG providing those benefits so the

<<1229>> cellular support blend in VMG is

<<1234>> delivering a lot of the same ingredients

<<1235>> and benefit that you get in alpha by

<<1238>> combining these into one product, we

<<1241>> make it easier for people. So, there's a

<<1244>> a big focus on ease of use. Um, just an

<<1249>> amazing experience. You can taste and

<<1251>> share this product in ways that people

<<1253>> typically wouldn't do with a handful of

<<1255>> pills. And I know you've already

<<1257>> answered this question in probably

<<1259>> another format, but who is this product

<<1261>> for? Who was it designed for?

<<1264>> Yeah, really these the the nutrition The

<<1269>> micronutrients in VMG+ are required by

<<1273>> everybody. So this and that's why the

<<1278>> base of our wellness chart is nutrition

<<1281>> and digestion. That is um you know it's

<<1285>> it's really a non-starter for everybody.

<<1287>> Like you have to begin there. Um and so

<<1290>> it's it's a product that's designed and

<<1293>> intended for everybody to use. So would

<<1295>> you say that if we had to adapt it to

<<1297>> maybe uh younger people or teenagers,

<<1300>> would they be all right taking maybe a

<<1302>> third of a dose and then developing uh

<<1306>> sorry slowly building up to the to the

<<1308>> full dose? Yeah, people would do that

<<1310>> and and I've done that. For example, I

<<1312>> have four children and they're not, you

<<1315>> know, adult-sized children. So dosing is

<<1318>> is typically approached from a weight

<<1321>> perspective. And so you can imagine if

<<1324>> you've got a child who's half of the

<<1326>> typical size of an adult, then a half a

<<1329>> dose would be appropriate for them. And

<<1332>> and it works out well that way because a

<<1334>> lot of families who may be using the

<<1337>> product will split doses like that. Now,

<<1339>> can we uh talk for a second about

<<1341>> routine? I'm a a person who really

<<1344>> thrives in having a routine, a morning

<<1346>> routine. and just enjoying uh you know I

<<1348>> wake up, I go to the gym, I take my

<<1349>> supplements and so on and so forth. So

<<1352>> how does VMG Plus fit into maybe your

<<1355>> routine personally and what do you

<<1357>> combine it with? Yeah, most I mean the

<<1360>> most important thing for people is

<<1362>> consistency, right? If you want to

<<1365>> really move the needle in your health,

<<1367>> you need to be consistent. And we know

<<1369>> this, right? We know this with all

<<1371>> different areas of our life. Consistency

<<1373>> is key.

<<1375>> So, for me, like I mentioned, I I use

<<1377>> the product in the morning so I don't

<<1379>> get distracted and forget to use it. But

<<1382>> I actually enjoy combining it with

<<1383>> Metapar Advantage. Um I'll often also

<<1387>> put in Metapower Recharge. And I've

<<1389>> heard of people pulling in like PBS

<<1392>> sticks, for example. I don't always um

<<1396>> use the PBS PBS sticks with this

<<1399>> product. It becomes a lot of uh flavor

<<1402>> for me. Um and and I'll so I'll usually

<<1405>> you know take um PB restore and use that

<<1409>> as a capsule but it's very easy to

<<1413>> combine with other products particularly

<<1415>> that you can just mix with water and and

<<1419>> I I'll do that in the morning. So can I

<<1421>> ask you said you're using this in the

<<1422>> morning would it be okay or safe to use

<<1425>> it on an empty stomach let's say or is

<<1427>> it best to be taken uh with a meal with

<<1430>> a breakfast? Yeah, one of one of the

<<1432>> other advantages about VMG because of

<<1436>> you know it's about a 10 gram serving.

<<1438>> We have two grams of protein in there.

<<1440>> We have um a lot you know 330 different

<<1444>> fat or nutrients that are part of this.

<<1447>> So the recommendation for people to

<<1450>> consume supplements with food is

<<1453>> generally because they don't have those

<<1454>> types of companion nutrition. But VMG,

<<1459>> you know, two grams of protein, um,

<<1461>> dietary fiber, the phytonutrient

<<1463>> content, it's actually very similar to a

<<1467>> typical food. And so although we would

<<1469>> say consume supplements with food, this

<<1472>> supplement is like a food. Yeah. So I

<<1475>> actually I don't usually eat breakfast.

<<1478>> Um, and this will usually take the place

<<1481>> of it. So I I don't um I I consume VMG

<<1486>> um with Metap Power Advantage and I'm

<<1488>> not necessarily layering that with And

<<1491>> now that I have you here, I feel like I

<<1493>> need to ask the pro, are there any uh

<<1496>> secrets, tips and tricks that we should

<<1498>> implement in order to have this um

<<1501>> really structured routine? I know you

<<1503>> said consistency, but is there anything

<<1504>> else? I think most importantly is

<<1507>> consistent use of the product. And then

<<1509>> we we talked earlier about the

<<1511>> importance of you know healthy habits

<<1514>> and combining consistent use of the

<<1516>> product with other healthy lifestyle

<<1518>> choices. So you can't be ignoring um the

<<1523>> other areas of your life that you know

<<1526>> you should be getting daily movement,

<<1527>> you should have a good diet, you should

<<1529>> have healthy connections and getting

<<1531>> enough sleep. You can't cut those

<<1534>> corners and expect to have the same

<<1537>> outcomes just by using the product,

<<1540>> right? It's kind of a two-step approach.

<<1543>> You need to have the lifestyles and the

<<1545>> product to get the maximum results.

<<1547>> Okay? So, no secret. Um, well, it's

<<1551>> really simple. The secret is be mindful

<<1554>> of both of those things. So I think you

<<1558>> know people sometimes people will say oh

<<1560>> you know I didn't have the same

<<1562>> experience or results as somebody else

<<1565>> with the product like I was using the

<<1566>> product but I didn't have the same

<<1568>> results and you start to talk with them

<<1570>> a little bit more about well tell me a

<<1572>> little bit about your lifestyle and you

<<1574>> can quickly see oh okay you're using

<<1577>> you're both using the product but you're

<<1579>> not sleeping like you should you're not

<<1581>> getting movement like you should and you

<<1584>> can see that if there's a separation in

<<1586>> the lifestyle factors then that can be

<<1590>> an explanation. And obviously we've

<<1592>> designed this product to um work hand

<<1595>> inhand with our again newly launched

<<1598>> Eomega Plus and also part of the

<<1600>> foundational wellness um a gut

<<1603>> microbiome support might be uh PB

<<1605>> restore or PBS plus. So can you talk us

<<1609>> through the whole magic trio? Yeah, I

<<1613>> mean it's intentional that those

<<1615>> products belong where they where they

<<1617>> do, you know, the base of the wellness

<<1619>> chart. Um, so E Omega is really

<<1622>> providing our healthy our healthy fats,

<<1626>> omega-3 fatty acids. And it's no

<<1629>> accident that omega-3s are in the top

<<1632>> four nutrients ever studied, that

<<1634>> there's more than 40,000 publications on

<<1637>> these. Um there there are a couple of

<<1640>> terms sometimes I refer to as like

<<1642>> plyotropy or polypharmarmacology.

<<1645>> Basically meaning you can have a

<<1646>> nutrient that impacts multiple

<<1649>> downstream um outcomes and omega-3 fatty

<<1653>> acids are one of those nutrients where

<<1656>> there a lot of different um health

<<1659>> benefits from consuming those healthy

<<1661>> fats. Um and there this is recognized

<<1665>> all around the world. So you have

<<1666>> approved health claims with uh different

<<1669>> governments in key markets all over the

<<1671>> world for consuming omega-3 fatty acids

<<1675>> and most of those are tied to

<<1677>> cardiumabolic benefits. So you talk

<<1679>> about things like improved insulin

<<1681>> sensitivity or triglycerides or blood

<<1684>> pressure. These are cardioabolic

<<1687>> um parameters.

<<1690>> When we talk about the importance of a

<<1692>> healthy microbiome and PB restore or PB

<<1695>> assist, um diversity is king. Like we we

<<1699>> need to have a diverse microbiome. Um

<<1702>> but we've been talking about

<<1704>> micronutrients and how do we get these

<<1706>> micronutrients from the product into our

<<1709>> body? It happens through the digestive

<<1711>> tract. And so having a healthy digestive

<<1714>> tract with these healthy bacteria um is

<<1718>> really critical to being able to take

<<1720>> advantage. Alex, is there anything that

<<1722>> we haven't covered yet about this

<<1724>> product that we should we should know

<<1726>> about? Um

<<1729>> I don't know. It's you can get into like

<<1733>> there are five different blends in VMG+.

<<1736>> Um we've done a number of different uh

<<1739>> clinical trials on looking at different

<<1741>> health benefits that are a result of

<<1743>> using the product even for six weeks for

<<1745>> example.

<<1747>> Um but and we talk about the importance

<<1750>> of of consistency but the product is

<<1753>> designed really to just be your

<<1756>> convenient one-stop shop as a base

<<1759>> starting place for everybody. And if

<<1762>> you're tending to the foundational

<<1765>> wellness needs, um the chances are good

<<1768>> that all the other layers of that chart

<<1771>> and the health benefits that people are

<<1773>> looking for are going to come a lot more

<<1776>> easily. This is my very last question, I

<<1779>> promise.

<<1781>> Um but I cannot live um without asking

<<1784>> you. What is your if not top product do

<<1788>> product at least give me the top three

<<1790>> please.

<<1792>> I know it's the Yeah. favorite child

<<1794>> question again. Yeah, the favorite. Um,

<<1798>> VMG certainly is

<<1800>> a candidate for top favorite because

<<1804>> everything that we've included in there

<<1806>> with from the delivery technology, the

<<1808>> essential oil inclusion, all the

<<1810>> different nutrient types that we've

<<1812>> included from, you know, botanical

<<1813>> sources, we don't have another product

<<1815>> like it. It's very unique in that way.

<<1818>> Um

<<1820>> we have some pretty unique components in

<<1823>> PB restore as well. Uh you know the the

<<1827>> dual chamber capsule delivery is uh

<<1829>> pretty unique postbiotic, prebiotic,

<<1832>> probiotic. Um

<<1835>> Metapar advantage is also very distinct

<<1839>> as far as you know more than 70%

<<1842>> tripeptide collagen tripeptides, nine

<<1845>> different types of tripeptides.

<<1847>> um our natural enem source for NAD

<<1850>> production.

<<1852>> So every I would say even though there

<<1855>> are some products probably due to their

<<1857>> complexity um that kind of stand out as

<<1860>> like wow this is really special every

<<1863>> product that we design and offer at

<<1866>> doera is intentional um it's unique we

<<1870>> we are intentional about pulling in

<<1872>> essential oils to help drive the

<<1875>> efficacy of of the product of the other

<<1878>> ingredients in there so they're very

<<1880>> complimentary to each other. Um, yeah,

<<1883>> that those are a few products that I

<<1885>> really think are I think you picked

<<1887>> three great products to be honest. So,

<<1889>> well done. It wasn't easy. Thanks, Alex.

<<1892>> Thank you so much uh for, you know,

<<1895>> giving us your time here today. I know

<<1897>> we had this uh conversation about BMG uh

<<1900>> quite a few times, but every time

<<1902>> selfishly, I feel like I'm getting

<<1904>> something new, and I wish I would I want

<<1905>> to scribble down notes every time you

<<1907>> speak. So thank you that this has been

<<1909>> really really uh helpful not just for me

<<1911>> I'm sure but for our listeners as well.

<<1913>> So you're welcome. It's been my pleasure

<<1915>> and maybe next time we can talk about

<<1917>> Metap Power Advantage. Let's do it. Who

<<1919>> knows? Yeah. Thanks Luda. Thank you so

<<1922>> much.
