SPEAKER_00 (00:03):
You just made it through the longest, loudest,
most demanding, and oftenconfusing season of your career.
But what if I told you thebiggest stress you're carrying
right now isn't the one that youfelt, it's the one that you
can't.
Today we're talking about thesilent enemy of high

(00:25):
performance, oxidative stress.
And not only is it a major causeof burnout, poor recovery, and
mental fog, but most peopledon't even know they have it.

(00:46):
Hello, I'm Jeffrey Morda.
If you're like most in NASCAR'stop tiers, drivers, crews,
owners, or executives, whileyou're busy chasing podiums,
have you fully considered who'staking care of you?
Right here, you're about tostart transforming your mind and
body for peak race dayperformance with high

(01:06):
performance health, designedexclusively for the demands of
NASCAR.
As a certified high performancehealth coach and consulting
hypnotist, I've coached eliteentrepreneurs and athletes to
higher energy, sharper focus,and greater resilience.
Naturally, safely, and backed byscience.
And right now, I'm bringing thatsame engineered approach to the

(01:30):
best in motorsports.
Here you'll find no wasted time,just a unique blend of
integrative health, mentalconditioning, and proven
recovery strategies delivered inplain language that you can use
right away.
Imagine a season withoutburnout, brain fog, or the
costly crash of your health.
Because the truth is, the realrace starts within.

(01:53):
I'm grateful you're here.
Yes, always grateful for youjoining me here on the program.
Welcome back.
If you're not alreadysubscribed, what are you waiting
for?
Be like the rest and subscribeto the program.
That way you will never miss oneof our outstanding episodes.
So you might be wondering, Jeff,what is oxidative stress and why

(02:16):
should I care?
Well, oxidative stress is whathappens when your body's
internal cleanup crew, theantioxidants, can't keep up with
the damage from free radicals.
Think too many sparks and notenough fire extinguishers.
Or you can think of it simply asyour body rusting from the

(02:37):
inside out.
It's what makes your cells agefaster, your recovery much, much
slower, and your brain much,much foggier.
And your energy will crashharder, even when you're rested.
And in the NASCAR world, you'reexposed to the perfect storms of

(03:00):
oxidative stress, the exoxfumes, the track chemicals, the
solvents and brake compounds,the travel stress and jet lag,
adrenaline spikes, sleepdisruption, fast food, and poor
nutrition on the road.
Now, let's go through a few uhevaluation questions to see

(03:21):
maybe if you might haveoxidative stress.
So in uh the Jeff Foxworthystyle oxidative stress
assessment, here we go.
You might have oxidative stressif you wake up tired even after
a full night's sleep.
You might have oxidative stressif the post-race buzz feels more

(03:42):
like brain fog now.
You might have oxidative stressif you're snapping quicker at
people that you actually like.
You might have oxidative stressif your joints feel older than
your contract says that you are.
And you might have oxidativestress if your stamina runs out
while your season pass saysunlimited.

(04:05):
Now you might have oxidativestress if you stopped believing
that you can truly, truly feelenergized again.
And if you just laughed andthought, oh crap, that's me,
well, stick around because we'regonna explain how to know and
not guess.
And here's the great news youdon't need a PhD or a blood draw

(04:28):
to know how stressed yoursystems really are.
You can measure oxidative stressright at home using an advanced
functional lab test.
That's right, these at-homefunctional tests have been
around for decades and they'reamazing at revealing the
underlying root causes of whyyour performance is lagging

(04:49):
behind.
So we use one in particular.
Now, many of the lab tests weuse uh will show signs of
oxidative stress.
There's no actual marker for theoxidative stress, but let's give
an example the organic acidstest.
Uh, we call it the CandidaMetabolic and Vitamins test.
It's a simple urine test and itreveals cellular, thank you,

(05:12):
energy production.
It also looks at mitochondrialefficiency.
So you know mitochondria are thepowerhouses of the cells, and we
can see exactly how efficientthey are operating.
Um, it'll show some markers thatindicate oxidative stress
levels.
It'll also show uh your detoxcapacity, your body's ability to

(05:34):
detoxify.
Uh, it'll show neurotransmitterbalance.
This is this is one that canreally tie into brain fog and
anxiety, um, central nervoussystem dysregulation, um, and so
much has over 75 differentbiomarkers, so biological
markers that help uh somebodythat knows how to interpret this

(05:56):
lab test, like myself or anyintegrative health practitioner
or naturopathic doctor, to beable to uh pinpoint these
underlying root causes andactually see the imbalances for
gut health, for energy, for ummental clarity and brain fog and
things like that.
This lab has been trusted byfunctional medicine

(06:16):
practitioners since probably the1970s or 80s.
Um, and it's included in ourvitamin TOX test bundle for a
reason because it revealsexactly what needs to be
addressed first.
Now you might be wondering, howdo I reverse oxidative stress?

(06:37):
Well, the solution, it's notthat complicated, and it's just
overlooked.
To reverse oxidative stress andreboot recovery, you need to do
a few things.
Number one, you need to reducethe toxic load.
We can do that by starting witha proven functional medicine
detox.

(06:57):
And I highly recommend doingthis for 21 days.
Uh it's basically a seven-dayprogram.
You do that for either sevendays, 14 days.
Uh, if you've never done onebefore, 21 days is definitely
the place to start.
And this helps to clear out thetoxic buildup.
Now, when I say detox, youthink, oh, it might be running
to the bathroom or uh, you know,feeling nauseous.

(07:17):
And, you know, maybe you mighthave those symptoms temporarily,
but usually not.
That's how we've reduced toxicload.
Then replenishing antioxidantswould be the next step.
Think um NAC.
So that's an acetylcysteine,glutathione, uh, vitamin C as
ascorbic acid, coenzyme Q10.
These will help to replenish theantioxidants.

(07:39):
And of course, we can see thesemarkers on that organic acid
test.
Uh, we can see your levels ofNaC, glutathione, vitamin C,
coq10 to know if you're gettingthe uh or maintaining the proper
amount of minerals or theseantioxidants.
And then the next step is torestore that mitochondrial
function.
This is your body's energyengine.

(08:01):
And the uh last, we well, notlast, but next, we want to
rebalance minerals.
So most of our drivers aredepleted specifically in
magnesium, sodium, andpotassium.
Now, a lot of times you can getthe sodium and potassium in an
electrolyte blend.
There's a lot of them out therethat I certainly wouldn't
recommend.
Um, and there's a few key onesthat I would recommend.

(08:23):
And then the magnesium, youknow, our minerals are uh very
important to maintain a specificratio.
So you can't just overload onone or another.
We want to make sure that we seea balance between, you know,
specifically that magnesiumbetween calcium and sodium and
potassium, uh, because when theyare out of balance, they can

(08:44):
cause uh lots of health issues.
And then, of course, we want torepair while you sleep.
Deep sleep is where oxidativestress gets turned off.
And this is the same recoveryframework that we use in our
naturally fueledhigh-performance health reset
system.
And I've seen it change lives injust weeks, not months.

(09:06):
As always, none of this ismedical advice.
We don't claim to diagnose,treat, or cure any disease.
And our mission here is toeducate and empower you to make

healthcare provider.

Now, I want you to imagine this: it's preseason testing, and you (09:21):
undefined
wake up, but there's no fog thistime.
There's no aches, there's justclarity.
You look around and realize thatmost of the garage is still
nursing last season's burnout,but not you, because you used
the off-season to rebuild at thecellular level.

(09:42):
Your oxidative stress is undercontrol, your systems are
online, your focus is dialed in,and everyone's wondering what
you did.
So don't guess you want tomeasure.
You can go over to victorylanewellness.com, take the free
functional health assessment,and if you want proof that you
can feel, you can sign up forthe Victory Lane 30-day reset,

(10:06):
which includes the vitamin Toxtest bundle, the 21-day
functional reset, and ourultimate sleep protocol
guaranteed data and resultsbefore preseason ever begins.
Remember, champions don't justoutdrive the competition, they
outrecover them as well.
Now go reset your system becauseif you don't get ahead of

(10:30):
oxidative stress, it will catchyou.
