Between the processed foods that we eat, the air that we breathe in and our often sedentary lifestyles, we are doing a number on our bodies without even really trying to. That’s where nutraceuticals can come in handy to counteract these negative impacts to our health.
Linda Pinckney, a certified holistic nutritionist and wellness coach, suggests that LifeVantage’s Protandim can help mitigate the effects of smog and other environmental factors that we encounter through everyday living.
“What this particular product does is it tells your cells to make its own antioxidants,” Pinckney said. “The one thing that every single person in the country needs right now is to get rid of toxins, because we’re just bombarded with them between what’s in the water, goodness knows what’s in the air.”
Its patented plant-based formula has been studied for over 10 years, and has been demonstrated to be safe for both humans and pets.
Another health concern is the additives included in our processed foods, particularly in the United States, which are doing a number on our gut.
“The gut biome takes all of that and is sifting through it with the food, and it can be hard to get your gut biome to really filter those things out,” Pinckney explained.
People who are interested in experiencing younger-looking skin or getting a brain boost can benefit from NRF2. For more information or to see a full range of products, go to Pinckney’s Manifest Wellness.
Pinckney’s seasonal affective disorder got her to start researching what was making her feel that way. Since then, she has removed many if not all processed foods from her diet and worked on exercise in addition to taking some supplements. And the change in her brain chemistry has not only affected her mood but it’s also helped her to be a better public speaker.
In addition to supplements, Pinckney offers wellness consulting.
