24 Apr Spring allergies? Fix it with flavonoids!
|
Your weekly housecall filled with everything you need to know to live longer and live better—naturally. Missed an issue or want to forward to a friend? Find it all right here. Hello friend! Spring is here which means flowers blooming, trees budding, and plenty of pollen in the air! When I work with my functional medicine clients, I always want to be on the cutting edge of new flavonoid products – and a new one recently sparked my interest! Why flavonoids? Flavonoids are a diverse group of phytonutrients found in fruits, vegetables, teas, and other plant-based foods. They are responsible for the vibrant colors in many fruits and flowers, ranging from red to blue to yellow. Flavonoids have antioxidant properties, which means they help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. There are many subclasses of flavonoids, including flavonols (such as quercetin), flavones, flavanones, flavan-3-ols (including catechins), anthocyanins, and isoflavones. Each subclass has its own unique chemical structure and potential health benefits. There are over 6,000 identified flavonoids that have been found in plants, but the most abundant is quercetin. What is Quercetin? Quercetin is found in many different foods, including tea, apples, onions, cruciferous vegetables, berries, and in many nuts and seeds. It can also be found in Ginko biloba and Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s wort). As an antioxidant, quercetin has many therapeutic benefits and impacts enzymes associated with inflammatory cytokines – which contribute to a balanced inflammatory response. Quercetin can support many areas of our health:
Keep in mind that many quercetin supplements are poorly absorbed in the body. A good quercetin supplement should contain quercetin phytosome, which helps the body absorb the antioxidant more effectively. Need help figuring out your own supplement needs?

Yours in good health, Angel Podcast Rewind: Karma and The Sacred Pause
In a fast-paced world full of distractions and the constant pressure to achieve, produce, and consume, we need accessible practices that help us become more centered – more in touch with ourselves and others. Rather than withdrawing from the world, we can learn how to use the art of the Sacred Pause to awaken loving-kindness in a world that often feels unkind, accept uncertainty in a world full of unknowns, and enjoy our lives more fully and more peacefully even when it feels like things are falling apart. In this episode, I explore a new way of thinking about Karma and the Sacred Pause as an introduction to a more centered way of life and service in the world.

What’s New in My Health Toolkit
Toxins build up in our bodies over time through the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the stress we put our bodies under on a daily basis. The master filter in our body – the liver – works to cleanse the body of these toxins to keep them from disrupting the normal functions and operations of the body; essentially, keeping you healthy.
Unfortunately, the overabundance of toxins our bodies build up, causes undue stress on our liver; and often the liver can’t keep up with the demand. It needs help to remove these toxins and keep you healthy.
To promote regular detoxification, nutraMetrix® has created the Complete Detoxification Kit, a combination of three products – nutraMetrix Timeless Prescription® Oxygen Extreme™, nutraMetrix Curcumin Extreme™, and nutraMetrix NutriClean® HepatoCleanse – that work synergistically to support overall liver health, promote normal cleansing and detoxification of the liver, and provide antioxidant support to keep your body – including the liver – healthy over time. Plus, you’ll save money by purchasing the nutraMetrix Complete Detoxification Kit instead of buying these products individually.

Feeling burned out and looking for reasons to work less?
A new study shows that working nights and volatile schedules in young adulthood can leave you vulnerable to depression and poor health in middle age.
The research examined the work schedules and sleep patterns of more than 7,000 Americans interviewed over three decades, from the ages of 22 through 50. To the surprise of the study’s author, NYU Silver School of Social Work professor Wen-Jui Han, only one-quarter of the participants worked exclusively traditional daytime hours.
