Episode Summary:

In this episode, host Jana Short interviews Sam Wiley, an expert in the supplements and natural products industry. They discuss the importance of nutrition and optimal health, the impact of modern processing on our diets, and the role of supplements in providing essential nutrients. Sam shares his personal journey of discovering the significance of nutrition and natural products, as well as his passion for learning about the vast array of nutrients that support optimal health. The conversation also delves into the topic of cholesterol and the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and plant sterols in promoting cardiovascular health. Sam highlights the need for testing and quantifying health markers to ensure optimal vitality.

Key Takeaways:

• Our modern diet often lacks essential nutrients due to highly processed foods and the omission of traditional foods from our diets.

• Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for cardiovascular health but do not lower cholesterol. Plant sterols, on the other hand, are effective in lowering cholesterol levels.

• Plant sterols, also known as phytosterols, are chemically similar to cholesterol and can block the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines.

• It is challenging to obtain sufficient plant sterols from a regular diet, making supplements like Cardio Smile a practical and convenient option.

• Testing and quantifying health markers, such as cholesterol levels, can provide valuable insights into our overall health and guide dietary choices.
