Discover the extraordinary power of chlorella, nature's green superfood that could revolutionize your health journey. This remarkable single-celled algae packs an astonishing array of nutrients — vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids — all working together to combat everything from blood sugar spikes to inflammation.

But here's what most people miss: the secret to unlocking chlorella's full potential lies in its processing. That tough cell wall that protects chlorella in nature becomes a barrier in your digestive system unless properly broken down before consumption. Without this crucial step, you might be swallowing expensive supplements that pass through your body virtually unused.

We dive deep into what makes quality chlorella different, revealing why terms like "broken cell wall" or "thin cell wall" aren't just marketing jargon but essential indicators of bioavailability. You'll learn why radiation and high-heat processing destroy the very nutrients you're seeking, and how to identify truly effective products that deliver on their promises.

For diabetics struggling with blood sugar management, those fighting inflammation or detoxifying from environmental toxins, or anyone seeking to enhance their nutritional profile naturally, this episode provides a comprehensive guide to chlorella's specific benefits. From vitamin A's support for eye health to omega-3's brain-boosting properties, we break down exactly how each component contributes to your wellbeing.

Hi friends, welcome to the NewNormal Big Life Podcast.
We bring you natural news andstories about nature that we
hope will inspire you to getoutside and adventure, along
with a step-by-step plan to helpyou practice what you've
learned and create your own newnormal and live the biggest life
you can dream.
I'm your host, antoinette Lee,the wellness warrior.

(01:29):
Chlorella is a genius of asingle-celled green algae.
It's garnered significantattention in the health and
wellness community for itshealth benefits.
At Christine underscore 2030 onX says Chlorella is part of her
daily health routine.
This microalgae isdistinguished by its rich
nutrient profile, encompassingan array of vitamins A, b12, c

(01:55):
and D, minerals like iron,magnesium and zinc, a high
protein and high fiber contentand essential fatty acids.
Diabetics and pre-diabeticslooking to add more fiber to
their diet to curb blood sugarspikes, reduce the body's
ability to fully absorb some fatand cholesterol and clean their

(02:16):
digestive tract, can supplementwith chlorella.
Have a picky eater who needsmore vegetable varieties in
their diet, chlorella is a greatway to sneak healthy greens
past your picky eater.
Chlorella's diabetic superpowerful benefits.
Chlorella helps control yourblood sugar.
Your body doesn't absorb andbreak down fiber.

(02:37):
This means fiber doesn't causea spike in blood sugar the way
other carbohydrates can.
Chlorella protects your heart.
Fiber prevents your body fromabsorbing some fat and
cholesterol.
This lowers your triglycerideand cholesterol levels and may
reduce your risk of heartdisease.
Chlorella helps maintain yourdigestive health.

(02:58):
Fiber acts like a scrub brushcleaning your digestive tract.
It helps you clean out unwantedbuildup to provide an
improvement in your gut healthand reduce colon cancer risk.
Chlorella helps keeping youfeeling full.
Since fiber isn't digested, itmoves slowly through the stomach
, making you feel fuller forlonger.

(03:20):
This can help you lose ormaintain your weight.
Why the power of chlorellamatters?
Health advocates promotechlorella for its potential in
detoxification, immuneenhancement and has an
antioxidant suggesting it couldreduce oxidative stress, support

(03:41):
liver function and promoteoverall cellular health.
When we come back from thisshort break, we'll talk about
how to choose the mostbioavailable or the most able to
be used by the body form ofchlorella.
But before we cover the nexttopic in this episode, I want to
introduce you to the AdventureSports Lifestyle with what I

(04:02):
call a micro story about anadventure that I've had.
The Adventure Sports Lifestyleand my deep connection to nature
is essential to my good health.
So here's the story.
The cross-species relationshipbetween humans and animals is an
incredible experience thatteaches you much about yourself.
My equine friend is named Bo.

(04:24):
He's a chocolate brown rockymountain gated horse with silver
dapple coloring and a flaxentail and mane.
We affectionately call himFabio Bo's 1,000 pounds of
stubbornness.
He came into my life when myconfident waned and immediately
showed me that I am a capableleader.
After working with Bo briefly.

(04:45):
I could toss his lead over hisneck and he'd follow me anywhere
.
Bo came when I called his name.
He ate out of my hand, bowedhis head to accept my kisses and
sang country music with me.
Beer for my horses is hisfavorite song.
Before long we felt like onewhen I rode his back.

(05:07):
I did that.
I hope this inspires you to getoutside and adventure alone
with friends or the people youlove most.
Now back to the show wherewe're discussing choosing the
most bioavailable form ofchlorella.
World events are constantlyteaching everyone some very
painful lessons.
Without warning.
Everything we take for grantedcan suddenly fail, and if you're

(05:30):
not prepared in advance, youreally don't have a chance.
The fact is, the modern worldruns on a just-in-time supply
schedule.
Even the biggest grocery storescan carry only enough food for
a few days' worth of normalshopping.
So when disaster strikes andchaos ensues at your local
stores, the odds are simplyagainst you.
If you don't have emergencyfood and gear stockpiled in

(05:53):
advance, you will probablysuffer.
My partner, ready Hour, is hereto help you ahead of time.
Ready Hour has a long historyof providing calorie-rich,
reliable and deliciousnourishment for life's
unexpected situations andcritical emergency gear too.
They're part of a family ofcompanies that have served
millions of people like you fordecades.

(06:14):
My family and I use Ready Hourproducts for camping,
mountaineering and disasterpreparedness for five years now.
They're not just reliable,they're also your affordable
option too.
Long-term survival foodshouldn't break the bank.
Thank you.

(06:49):
Understanding bioavailability iscrucial when considering the
efficacy of any supplement,including chlorella.
Bioavailability refers to theportion of a substance that
enters the circulation whenintroduced into the body and can
have an active effect.
In the context of chlorella,its cell wall, composed of tough

(07:11):
polysaccharides, naturallylimits nutrient absorption.
So you can swallow chlorella,but if it doesn't have good
bioavailability, your body won'tbe able to use it.
To get around this problem,manufacturers use various
methods to disrupt the cellwalls, enhancing the algae's

(07:33):
bioavailability.
When selecting chlorella, lookfor products that explicitly
mention broken cell wall, thincell wall or cracked cell wall
chlorella.
This processing technique,which might involve mechanical
disruption, sonic waves orenzymatic treatment, ensures

(07:53):
that the nutrients are moreaccessible to the body.
Here are key points to considerin choosing the most
bioavailable form of chlorellafor maximum nutritional power.
The manufacturing process isvery important.
Opt for chlorella where themethod of cell wall disruption
is specified.
You want to see broken cellwall, thin cell wall or cracked

(08:16):
cell wall, as this directlyimpacts nutrient availability.
Check for certifications Lookfor certifications like organic
or non-GMO, which can alsoindicate quality and purity.
Check for purity andcontaminants labeling, since
algae can absorb toxins fromtheir environment.

(08:37):
Ensure the product has beentested for heavy metals and
other contaminants.
Look for labels like labverified or lab tested, like
you'll find at the Health Rangerstore.
Digestibility Some forms ofchlorella might be easier on the
digestive system than others.
User reviews or clinicalstudies can shed light on this

(08:58):
aspect.
I love the Health RangerStore's clean chlorella, or I
buy the micro ingredients brandwhen my first choice is out of
stock.
Check for the nutrient profileCheck the label for a
comprehensive nutrient profile,as this can vary between brands
due to different cultivation andprocessing methods.

(09:19):
And again, this applies to allforms of supplements.
In essence, while chlorellaoffers abundant health benefits,
its efficacy largely depends onhow well it's processed for
optimal nutrient absorption.
By choosing a form with a highbioavailability, you can
maximize the health advantagesthis superfood has to offer.

(09:41):
So here are some practices toavoid when buying chlorella and
again, this can apply to othersupplements as well.
Avoid radiation and earradiation to preserve
chlorella's nutrients.
So radiation is energy in theform of wave particles or ear

(10:02):
radiation.
Exposing an object to thatenergy is sometimes used for
sterilization or to extend theshelf life of food products.
However, these processes candamage the delicate molecular
structures of chlorella'svitamins, minerals and other
beneficial compounds.
Nutrients like vitamin C, bvitamins and enzymes can be

(10:27):
significantly degraded oraltered, reducing the health
benefits of chlorella.
So here's some potential healthrisks when considering adding
chlorella to your supplementregime.
Though regulatory bodies deemfood irradiation safe for
certain applications, there'songoing debate about the

(10:49):
long-term effects of consumingirradiated foods.
The concern is not just aboutwhat's known, but also what we
might not yet understandregarding the health
implications.
Therefore, choosingnon-irradiated chlorella
minimizes any potential unknownrisk.

(11:09):
Purity and quality is of utmostimportance.
Non-irradiated chlorella isoften associated with a
commitment to natural processingmethods, which can indicate a
higher quality product.
Consumers looking for thepurest form of chlorella might
prefer products that avoid thesetreatments.
So here's the importance of lowtemperature processing.

(11:37):
Retention of bioactivecompounds is important.
Chlorella contains numerousheat sensitive compounds,
including chlorophyll, enzymesand certain vitamins.
Low temperature drying orprocessing methods like freeze
drying or air drying helppreserve these bioactive
elements.
High temperatures can denatureor destroy the characteristic

(11:59):
properties of proteins.
It can also deactivate enzymesand reduce antioxidant activity,
thereby diminishing the overallhealth benefits of the algae.
Antioxidant activity, therebydiminishing the overall health
benefits of the algae.
Cell integrity is the integrityof the chlorella can lead to

(12:32):
nutrient leakage or degradationbefore the cell wall is
compromised, reducing thesupplement's effectiveness.
Flavor and odor is importanttoo.
Low temperature processing alsotends to result in a product
with better taste and smell.
If not processed correctly,chlorella can sometimes have a
strong or off-putting flavor.

(12:54):
Low temperatures help maintaina more palatable product.
It tastes less like fresh grassclippings when it's processed
at a low temperature.
When choosing chlorella, lookfor products that explicitly
state they are non-irradiatedand check for low temperature

(13:14):
processing methods.
This ensures you're consuming asupplement that retains its
maximum health benefits, avoidspotential health risks from
radiation and supports a moresustainable production process.
Labels might mention coldpressed, freeze dried or low
heat dried as indicators ofthese practices.
Remember the goal is tomaximize the intake of nutrients

(13:38):
in their most natural andeffective form.
That's why it's also importantwhen choosing a supplement, that
you go for or choosesupplements that are naturally
derived and not lab-madesupplements, so not lab-made
vitamin B, for example.

(13:58):
Chlorella's health benefits forspecific health conditions are
really incredible.
How can each chlorella vitamin,mineral and essential fatty
acid benefit specific healthconditions?
Well, chlorella is a naturalpowerhouse, with each of its
vitamins, minerals and essentialfatty acids offering specific

(14:19):
health benefits that can addressor mitigate various health
conditions.
Here's a detailed look at howthese components might benefit.
Vitamin A, or beta carotene, isfor eye health.
It helps prevent nightblindness and supports overall
eye health.
It enhances immune response,crucial for fighting infections,

(14:41):
and promotes skin repair, andcan aid in the prevention of
skin disorders.
Vitamin B12 in chlorella it'svital for red blood cell
formation and prevention ofanemia, especially beneficial
for women of childbearing age,vegetarians and vegans.
It's essential for maintainingthe health of nerve cells and

(15:03):
preventing neurological issues,and also enhancing your
neurological health.
Vitamin C in chlorella enhancesthe body's ability to fight off
infections.
Chlorella protects cells fromoxidative stress, potentially
reducing the risk of chronicdiseases like heart disease.

(15:25):
Chlorella supports skin, boneand connective tissue health.
The vitamin d in chlorella aidsin calcium absorption for
strong bones and teeth.
This is especially importantfor children and seniors.
It modulates the immune system,potentially reducing the risk
of autoimmune diseases likepsoriasis, lupus and fib, and

(15:47):
fibromyalgia.
It's linked to mood regulationand prevention of depression.
The vitamin E in chlorellahelps combat free radical damage
, aids in preventing somecancers and supports
cardiovascular health and skinintegrity.
Can you believe that this mayhelp prevent cognitive decline

(16:07):
with age?
So there are some benefits tothe minerals that are contained
in chlorella.
Iron it's necessary forhemoglobin production, crucial
for those at risk of irondeficiency anemia.
It supports oxygen transport inthe body, aiding in reducing

(16:28):
fatigue.
The magnesium it helps withmuscle relaxation and nerve
transmission and can alleviateconditions like muscle cramps or
spasms and even help with anirregular heart rhythm because
it's involved in maintainingheart rhythm and blood pressure.
The zinc and chlorella iscritical for immune cell
function, wound healing and DNAsynthesis, the process of

(16:50):
creating new DNA strands fromexisting DNA templates.
It helps treat acne anddermatitis and supports skin
repair.
The calcium chlorella isessential for bone density and
tooth strength and it aids inmuscle contraction and nerve
signaling.
The potassium and chlorellahelps counteract the effects of

(17:11):
sodium, reducing high bloodpressure or hypertension and
reducing high blood pressurerisks.
It's essential for propermuscle contraction and heart
function.
The health benefits ofchlorella's essential fatty
acids are here Omega-3 fattyacids.
It reduces inflammation, lowerstriglyceride levels and may

(17:33):
decrease the risk of heartdisease.
I guess you can see a themehere that chlorella is very good
for your heart, as well asmanaging your blood sugar levels
.
Brain health supports cognitivefunction and may help prevent
or manage conditions likedepression or ADHD.

(17:54):
It can alleviate symptoms ofarthritis due to
anti-inflammatory properties inchlorella, and the omega-6 fatty
acids in chlorella promote skinintegrity, hair growth and can
aid in managing conditions likeeczema.
Important for the production ofhormone-like substances that

(18:16):
regulate body functions andhormonal balance.
Chlorella's synergistic healingpower.
Each of these nutrients inchlorella can work
synergistically, which means thecooperation of two or more
substances to support overallhealth.
But specific benefits can bemore pronounced for individuals
with particular concerns ordeficiencies.
For example, someone withvitamin B12 deficiency might see

(18:41):
significant improvements inenergy levels and mental clarity
.
In contrast, someone with skinissues might benefit from the
combination of vitamins A, c, e,zinc and omega fatty acids.
However, while chlorella cancontribute to health improvement
, it should not be considered acure-all.
It's best used as part of abalanced Mediterranean-style

(19:03):
diet, which I talk about all thetime, and individuals with
specific health conditionsshould consult their healthcare
providers before starting anysupplement regimen to ensure it
aligns with your treatment plan.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
