Welcome to Harmony
Hub Health, where my mission is
to provide comprehensive,affordable, integrative care
that addresses the root cause ofhealth issues.
At the Hub, the focus is onindividual patient journeys.
I strive to optimize health,vitality and longevity,
fostering a community where eachperson can thrive in body, mind
and spirit.
(00:21):
Hello friends, I still cannotbelieve we are in season two of
the Harmony Hub Health podcast,but today we're going to dive
(00:41):
deep into a program that cankickstart your health journey
for 2025.
The Orthomolecular Core Restore.
There's a 7-day and a 14-daysystem.
The new year is a time for freshbeginnings, and what better way
to start than by resetting yourbody at the cellular level?
Over the holidays, it is socommon to overindulge in rich
(01:03):
foods, sugary treats, alcoholand less than ideal sleep
schedules.
While all these activities arepart of the joy of the season,
they can place extra strain onyour liver, your body's primary
detoxification organ.
So your liver plays a veryimportant role in your health.
It filters toxins, it processesyour nutrients, it balances
(01:25):
your hormones, all while working24-7 to keep you healthy.
When the liver becomesoverwhelmed with excess toxins
from food, alcohol,environmental pollutants or even
medications, it struggles tofunction optimally and this can
lead to symptoms of fatigue,brain fog, weight loss,
(01:46):
resistance, digestive issues,hormonal imbalances and,
definitely, skin problems.
So by starting the year with adedicated liver detox, you can
give your body the reset itneeds to function optimally.
Think of it as clearing up theclutter in your system so your
cells can thrive in a clean,efficient environment.
(02:08):
I was going to wait, because Ihave about five people that are
either doing the core restoreright now or have just finished
and I wanted to invite them onthis podcast.
But then this morning usuallySunday mornings most people
don't know this but I do seesome ADHD patients,
conventionally not from afunctional medicine standpoint,
(02:30):
but sometimes the lines getblurred where, you know, I do
find myself talking a lot aboutgut health and talking to my
ADHD patients about, you know,non-medication ways to help
their symptoms, and there havebeen quite a few that have been
very receptive and I did haveone that did the core restore.
(02:51):
She did the seven-day chocolatecore restore test and we just
had our follow-up.
It's been two weeks and shetold me that she did not need a
prescription.
She actually made herappointment to thank me, to tell
me how much better she has felt, and you know what to do next,
where to go from here.
(03:12):
So she is now off of controlledsubstances and she said this is
the most energy and the mostfocused that she has felt.
I said this deserves a shoutout this Core Restore.
So that's what we're going totalk about today the Core
Restore system.
So this is a liver detox that'sdesigned to reset and support
(03:36):
the body's natural detoxpathways.
So it could help people thathave fatigue.
It could help people with thebrain fog, especially those
forgetful, inattentive, anybodywith digestive issues like
bloating or constipation.
Or if you've been told you havehormonal imbalances or you know
your hormones are imbalancedwithout someone else telling you
(03:58):
.
If you have skin problems likeacne or eczema.
Weight loss resistance.
They have these two differentprograms there's a seven-day and
there's a 14-day system.
The 14-day targets a deeperdetoxification, including phase
three of that natural liverdetox.
The liver detoxifies your bodythrough three different phases.
(04:22):
Phase one is the activationphase.
This phase breaks down toxinsinto smaller reactive molecules.
These toxins may come fromexternal sources, like alcohol
or processed foods from thatstandard American diet, or
internal sources, like hormonebyproducts.
Enzymes like cytochrome P450plays a really big role here.
(04:45):
Antioxidants are critical atthis stage to neutralize the
reactive intermediates formedduring the activation.
Then we have phase two, andthis is a conjugation phase.
Here the liver attachesspecific molecules like sulfur,
glucuronic acid or amino acidsto those toxins, and this
(05:06):
process makes them water-soluble.
You know they can't just travelon their own, so this allows
your body to excrete them moreeasy.
Phase three is elimination, sothis is targeted in the 14-day
core restore program.
In the final phase, the nowwater-soluble toxins are
excreted from the body throughbile, stool or urine.
(05:27):
So supporting gut health is keyto ensuring toxins are fully
eliminated and not reabsorbed.
The Core Restore program isdesigned to optimize all three
phases, ensuring comprehensivedetoxification and supporting
your overall health.
One fact that kind of gives methe ick is that, you know, the
(05:48):
CDC report showed that Americansof all ages are carrying more
than 219 toxic compounds intheir bodies at any given time
219.
So growing evidence suggeststhat even low level toxicity is
related to a whole slew ofhealth concerns, and targeted
(06:11):
nutritional support enhances thebiotransformation of toxins and
boosts natural detoxificationin the body.
I do think that everybody canuse the core restorer, but the
ideal candidate is anybodyexperiencing fatigue or low
energy, hormonal imbalances,especially estrogen dominance,
(06:33):
anybody with digestivecomplaints like bloating or
irregularity, if you're havingdifficulty losing weight and you
feel like you're trying all thethings um.
People with brain fog, uminattention, um difficulty
focusing, and especially peoplewith skin issues like acne or
eczema.
(06:53):
But it is not for everybody.
If you are pregnant, if you'rebreastfeeding or if you're
managing specific healthconditions, you should really
consult a healthcare providerbefore starting any detox
program at all.
But the benefits of CoreRestore not just the physical
benefits of improved energy andyou know, reduced inflammation,
(07:14):
reduced bloating, enhanceddigestion being more regular,
the clear skin and hormonalsupport it's the emotional
benefit.
So it's a renewed sense ofcontrol and accomplishment.
It's the motivation to maintainhealthier habits long term.
Those are what really make thisplan amazing.
(07:36):
The Core Restore program is astrategic system designed to
safely enhance and promote allthree pathways of active
detoxification.
So it does include three activeformulas.
It comes with theorthomolecular core support.
It comes with mitochore andphytochore, which function
synergistically to provide theenergy and nutritional cofactors
(07:57):
that are critical for activebiotransformation.
These formulas support bothphase one and phase two pathways
of the liver biotransformation,while promoting phase three
elimination pathways, aiding inthe safe processing and removal
of environmental pollutants,hormone disruptors, unhealthy
estrogen metabolites,xenoestrogens, that is,
(08:22):
synthetic compounds that imitateestrogen, If you remember the
podcast we did on endocrinedisruptors and other harmful
toxins from the body.
So this powerful trio ofspecialized formulas provides
essential micronutrients,phytonutrients and a source of
easily digested, hypoallergenicprotein that supports your liver
(08:45):
and fuels optimallybiotransformation.
The CDC also estimates thatmore than 100,000 chemicals are
used by Americans annually, withabout 1,000 new chemicals
introduced each year, and thatevidence suggests that even
low-level toxicity is related toa variety of health concerns.
(09:07):
If toxins are not processedeffectively, they can accumulate
in the body, causing fatigue,hormone disruption or
unexplained weight gain and thatmental fog.
And you know the standardAmerican diet it's so high in
sugar and caffeine and, yes, Idid have a cup this morning but
it's also so low in nutrientdensity and fiber and that has
(09:28):
been shown to slow down detoxmechanisms and reduce the
elimination of toxins.
Detox mechanisms and reduce theelimination of toxins.
So it is important to have acomprehensive, evidence-based
detox strategy that supports thekey phases of detoxification.
You know the liver is yourbody's main organ of
detoxification and it requires alot of energy.
This is energy in the form ofATP or adenosine triphosphate,
(09:51):
and you need that to neutralizetoxins.
Each hepatocyte, those littleliver cells, they house 1,000 to
2,000 mitochondria and you knowthat comprises roughly
one-fifth of your total livervolume.
If your liver mitochondria donot produce adequate ATP, it
(10:12):
reduces the rate of detox andcan lead to health challenges.
So the detoxification process,also known as biotransformation,
is that three-phase processwhere toxins are safely packaged
and removed from the body.
This is very complex andrequires energy and essential
nutrient cofactors.
In phase one, a specializedfamily of enzymes known as the
(10:36):
P450 enzymes use oxygen to forma reactive site on the toxic
compounds.
So that process creates highlyreactive compounds that are even
more harmful and reactive thanthe initial toxin.
And these strong free radicalscan cause structural damage to
your lipids, to proteins, toyour DNA, all within your cell.
(10:56):
And that is why phase two is soimportant and it must be ready
to bind, package and neutralizethose harmful intermediate
metabolites so they can besafely excreted from your body.
And then, during the final stepof detoxification in phase
three, this is where theneutralized water-soluble
compounds can then be excretedin your urine bile stool.
(11:21):
The Core Restore program isscientifically formulated to
increase mitochondrial energyproduction and support all three
phases of the detox.
So the Core Restore does comewith three main supports.
The first one is Core Support,and the ingredients included in
Core Support were chosen fortheir ability to support Phase 2
(11:43):
detoxification and Phase 3elimination to really help
eliminate toxins during the 7and 14-day detox program.
The core support includes fiveproven alkalizing factors, six
proven phase 2 activatingnutrients, 8 grams of fiber, 15
(12:05):
grams of hypoallergenic brownrice protein and no added sugar.
There is nutrients like NAC orN-acetylcysteine, glycine and
taurine, which are allwell-known amino acids that
enhance your liver detox, andantioxidants such as lipoic acid
, green tea what's the other one?
(12:29):
Oh, ellagic acid and a uniquevegetable antioxidant blend
upregulate key phase two enzymesand protect the liver from
oxidative damage.
And, in addition, watercress,pomegranate, potassium citrate.
They provide essential supportto the kidneys, facilitating the
(12:51):
efficient elimination of toxinsthrough urinary excretion.
You're going to take this as ashake.
You're going to take two scoopsof core support with eight to
10 ounces of water, or dependingon how thick you'd like your
shake, and you're going to havethis two times a day.
The second product is MitoCore,and if you've looked into any of
my programs, I talk aboutMitoCore a lot, but MitoCore
(13:14):
provides a multi-nutrientfoundation to ensure that the
liver has adequate amounts ofimportant trace minerals and
vitamins needed for the nutrientand energy intensive process of
detoxification.
So this formulation provideskey nutrients like vitamin C,
the B vitamins, all of thethings that are required for
phase one detoxification,cytochrome P450 activity and
(13:38):
phase 2 conjugation pathways.
That formula also includes thepowerful antioxidant trio of
alpha lipoic acid, nac andacetyl L-carnitine.
They are all shown to rechargecellular energy production and
primary cellular antioxidantpools of glutathione and
vitamins E and C to helpscavenge free radicals and
(14:00):
protect cells while the toxinsare removed.
This formula, this MitoCore,also provides key micronutrients
and phytonutrients, includinggreen tea, broccoli seed extract
and resveratrol to protect themitochondria and continually
renew the cycle of energyproduction.
Continually renew the cycle ofenergy production.
(14:24):
This would be four capsules aday while you're on this seven
day or 14 detox here.
The third is PhytoCore.
Phytocore is added on the thirdday of the core restore and
this is to simulate that phaseone activity once phase two has
been established.
The specialized blend ofnutrients and phyto core is
shown to stimulate phase one andtwo biotransformation and
(14:47):
support the body's natural livercleansing function during detox
.
Each capsule includes salamarin, artichoke extract, the
complete turmeric matrix,methionine, choline and acetal,
which most have heard, that inthe skinny shot it has garlic
and it has dandelion root.
These botanicals and plantextracts provide phytonutrients,
(15:12):
antioxidants and othercompounds that protect plants
from environmental challenges,including exposure to radiation
and toxins, and defends themagainst pests and other agents.
In humans, this array ofbiologically active compounds
has been shown to increasecellular defenses, upregulate
detox and protect DNA.
(15:33):
Silmarin has been found topossess substantial protective
effects and free radicalscavenging capacity, protecting
the liver against oxidativedamage while it neutralizes
toxic environmental contaminants.
The PhytoCore is generally twoto three capsules two times a
day.
Some people choose the 14-daycore restore as an extended
(15:56):
program.
It's usually recommended forthose experiencing increased
toxic burden or if we determinethat your body contains an
excess of toxins and cannoteffectively handle them on its
own.
Or if you don't get fullyrejuvenated after the seven-day
core restore, it may be a goodextension off of the seven-day
(16:19):
as well.
I've had several people do theseven day and they are like I
love that, I need more.
So they would go on to another14 day of detox.
Each program comes with mealplans and a detox guide, so the
program includes clean eatingmeal plans designed to minimize
(16:39):
toxin exposure and support thedetox process.
It emphasizes anti-inflammatorywhole foods like leafy greens,
lean proteins and healthy fat,and the extended version goes
deeper by targeting phase threeand gut health.
So again, that will go on foreven more detox.
I do have to say I have seenother detox that focuses just on
(17:02):
making you go to the bathroom.
This is not it.
This is a liver detox and theworkbook that comes with the 7
and the 14 day.
I am so impressed with howdetailed and how comprehensive
that comes.
I have done detoxes in the pastwhere you just pretty much get
a bottle of capsules and youdon't know where to go.
(17:24):
This you don't even really needme for this.
You do this on your own, but soyou're not doing it alone.
I am doing a group detox event.
Some people like doing thingsalone, but when you join a group
it is so good foraccountability and support.
It really makes the experiencemore effective and more
(17:46):
enjoyable.
You'll have access to my livewebinars for guidance and
questions and answers, and itkind of forms a community to
share progress and thechallenges that you're having
with the program.
