In this episode, Carrie Pattison discusses the fascinating concept of pleiotropic effects in herbal medicine. Pleiotropy refers to the ability of a particular herb or plant compound to have multiple benefits on the body. One herb that exemplifies this concept is saffron, also known as the "golden spice." In this blog post, we will explore the historical uses, sourcing, and potential health benefits of saffron, shedding light on its pleiotropic effects.

Historical Uses and Cultural Significance: Saffron has a rich history dating back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations, including the Romans and Greeks, recognized its medicinal properties. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, wrote about saffron's use in gynecological conditions, while other physicians like Dioscorides and Galen praised its aphrodisiac qualities and ability to soothe skin irritations. The use of saffron in traditional medicine spans various cultures, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Understanding Stress: Dr. Kate explains that stress is any change in our environment, whether positive or negative. Our perception of stress plays a significant role in how it affects us.

We have used Carlson Lemon Flavored Liquid Fish Oil for nearly 20 years. The difference in our health has been exceptional. Marine based omega-3 is my number 1 recommended nutritional supplement. I have come to believe that without sufficient and balanced omega-3 fatty acids one will struggle to manage inflammation. This has been my personal and professional experience.

There are compelling distinctions between Carlson Fish Oil and almost every other brand of fish oil in the market today. It is these distinctions I will discuss today with Jolie. It is easy to claim that a product is the best, but how do you know? The distinctions we discuss could be done by other companies but there are very few companies willing to commit to this extraordinary level of quality.

Krill are small, shrimp-like marine crustaceans that belong to the order Euphausiacea. They are found in all of the world's oceans, but are most abundant in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Krill are an important food source for many marine animals, including whales, seals, penguins, and fish. They are also harvested by humans for use in a variety of products, such as fish feed, omega-3 supplements, and food for human consumption. Krill are known for their distinctive red color, which comes from the presence of the pigment astaxanthin in their bodies.

This interview with Neil E. Levin covers the significant testing of finished products sold online. Amazon and others sell supplement products that are illegal and fraudulent. What else can we call it? NOW has tested many products and many have been found to have numerous significant problems.

This problems include but not limited to:

Many do not contain the potency stated on the label.
Many are mislabeled.
Many contain ingredients not listed on the label.
Many are contaminated with heavy metals
