I interviewed Dr. Zach Bush for my podcast, The WHOLE Athlete, this month and I am taking the RESTORE 4 LIFE supplement daily for the month. If it works for me then I am interested in adding the product to my “The WHOLESTIC Method” Retail Store and Nutritional Therapy program.
Dr. Zach mentioned in our podcast about hydration – hydrating our cells. I am curious how I react in the next month as I always go to the bathroom (number one…pee pee = TMI) even though I drink water and add sea salt most days. I seem to drink water – it goes in one end and comes out the other end. Perhaps my cells are not hydrated and the dehydration is limiting my performance in my triathlon training.
What is RESTORE?
RESTORE is a dietary supplement that supplies our first line of defense, our immune system, to fight the everyday exposure to toxins. RESTORE is a scientifically proven soil derived mineral supplement designed to support our gut wall lining- our intestinal walls. RESTORE creates an optimal environment in our gut for good gut bacteria to flourish to protect our immune system and optimize our health from the inside out.
What does RESTORE do?
Their theory is that the RESTORE formula creates an optimal environment in our gut to allow 20,000 to 30,000 different strains of GOOD bacteria or gut flora to work together as Mother Nature intended for us to maintain our health for life. Did you know that 70% of our immune system is in our gut? Another reason to take care of our gut and feed it good food!
Why do we need to take RESTORE?
As we talk about in my “The WHOLESTIC Method” detox reset and digestive repair challenges, our “SAD” is creating toxic bellys in our society. “SAD” stands for the STANDARD AMERICAN DIET” which is heavily processed foods, refined sugars, GMOs, gluten and environmental toxins as herbacides plus the toxins from factory farm animals. It is challenging to avoid the toxins in our environment, diet, air and products we use daily, which is why I started doing a quarterly or monthly 5-day DETOX & RESET challenge. Nutritional Therapy offers individuals a specific plan based on a functional evaluation and muscle testing but we still need to work on the WHOLE individual. RESTORE helps maintain the strength of our immune system by improve the quality of the microbiome and gut wall lining.
How does RESTORE work for us?
RESTORE provides nutrients for the gut and in result the blood brain barrier as the gut and the brain are connected. if we can keep the gut healthy and functioning at optimal levels, then we have a stronger protection and barrier from irritants as gluten and other chemicals.
What is in RESTORE?
The bottle of RESTORE looks like dirty water but it really is a blend of:
- purified water
- soil based mineral supplement – Terrahydrite
- trace soil amino acods
- minerals
How long do we need to take RESTORE?
It is recommended to take one teaspoon three times a day- ideally 30 minutes prior to a meal. You can increase the serving to 1 tablespoon three times daily to help improve health goals. A 16-ounce bottle lasts about one month or you can order a 32-ounce bottle for a two month supply.
How do I know if RESTORE is working for me??
“All disease begins in the gut” right? So why don’t we focus our energy at optimizing our gut health and gut function? I am all about improve my gut and cell health (mighty mitochondria) to improve my performance as well as slow down the aging process so I am game for trying out anything…almost anything.
There is a link between our gut health and over all health as well as gut health and brain health. The article says we can sometimes feel RESTORE working in the gut after about 20 minutes.
Optimal health includes a digestive tract of 20,000 to 30,000 different strains of good gut flora/bacteria. RESTORE’s job is to enhance the diversity of the gut bacteria – provide a “friendly” environment to enhance future growth of good bacteria.
DIVERSITY is a positive thing! More variety the better!
Next blog we will talk about tight junctions, leaky gut and glyphosate.
