Our appreciation for the microbiome (probiotics) continues to grow! It seems reasonable that supporting the microbiome prior to contraception and beyond deserves a voice in the prenatal nutrition conversation.
We consider a diet rich a variety of plant sourced fibers (veggies!) and reducing exposure to microbiome disruptors (antibiotics, excess sugar, certain medications, etc.) as the main approach. Supplements can be helpful in numerous scenarios and also deserve their place in the discussion.
The excerpt from the article below makes a powerful point, a lack of a healthy microbiome impacted a key player in brain development.
"...depleted of the microbiota through treatment with antibiotics, had reduced levels of a protein that is important for the formation of new neurons."
You might be surprised how tough scientific research can be sometimes! There's been long standing debate on the mineral chromium's specific actions in the body.
This study backs up the current reigning theory, that chromium supports our ability to regulate blood sugar, insulin and in turn, overall metabolism. Get your chromium daily for a healthy metabolism!
Two of our favorite food sources of chromium are broccoli and brewers yeast (great on popcorn). We of course off chromium supplements galore and welcome your questions!

This study really highlights a key point of healthy eating. Those who consumed a diet higher in simple carbs/sugars (read "junk food") experienced a lower metabolic rate, meaning they're burning less calories per day.
This metabolic slowdown's net effect was similar to eating an extra snack everyday. It's easy to see how this could contribute to weight problems.
A positive way of looking at this, you can improve the quality of your diet, while eating a similar amount of calories and likely lose weight! This makes for an excellent starting point for many and an important reminder to all --quality matters!

This significant study comes at an appropriate time of the year for us. Those with low vitamin D levels were found the have nearly 3x greater risk for depressive symptoms!
This study is particularly interesting, as it's based out of Brazil, which is very close to the equator. This means year round adequate/high UV light and thus more easily obtained vitamin D from sunlight. Yet many participants were still low, suggesting those of us in northern latitudes should be even more on guard --especially during fall and winter!

An educational update on Kratom products.
We have always chosen not to stock kratom due to ongoing safety concerns and the absence of a trusted manufacturer. We feel this article makes a good case for continued caution with this herb and more importantly, products made from kratom with questionable chemical composition.
At this time, we recommend pursuing alternatives to kratom. Perhaps one day safe products from vetted manufacturers will be available and we'll look forward to reevaluating our stance at that time.

Vitamin D mentioned in Congress!
From the article:
“Over the last year, we’ve witnessed a growing body of scientific research from reputable medical facilities demonstrating a connection between vitamin D deficiencies and negative COVID-19 patient outcomes. Dr. Anthony Fauci himself has endorsed taking vitamin D supplements. This valuable vitamin could potentially save lives and is something that the CDC should aggressively promote along with their other COVID-19 guidance,” said Congressman Grothman.

Neuropsychiatric effects of caffeine
An estimated 90% of North America consumes caffeine daily. If you're struggling with symptoms of anxiety and/or sleep disorders, consider evaluating your caffeine use. As the article notes, it's important inform your physician of your caffeine use, especially when seeking treatment for anxiety-related symptoms.
Lastly, note that caffeine has an average half-life of about 5hrs, meaning 50% of the caffeine you drank is still circulating 5hrs later. Experts estimate the average person takes 7-10 hours to reduce caffeine to non-stimulant levels, meaning a cup at lunch has the potential to still be in your bloodstream at bedtime!

However, after feeding the mice a diet containing sesaminol for 36 days, the research team saw an increase in dopamine levels. Alongside this, a rotarod performance test revealed a significant increase in motor performance and intestinal motor function."

Quality matters! A coalition of eight brands in the supplement industry collected over 500 samples of elderberry, ranging from competitor's finished products to bulk extracts sold to supplement companies.
They discovered about one in ten elderberry samples were adulterated, raising safety and effectiveness concerns. This is why HealthWay partners with suppliers who "practice and prove" good quality control measures. Sometimes that means the product costs a few more dollars than that sweet deal online, but we think your health is worth the real deal!
