A huge welcome back to the show and I want to talk about something that's very important to you, me and everyone around us and that is immunity, our health, dealing with colds, flus, sickness, all that stuff. Because let's face it, we all are dealing with humans. Most of us are not self isolating. Still, Covid is over. We're out amongst people, we're in shops, we're at schools, we are at events, we're on planes, we're on buses, Whatever you might be doing, we're around other humans and we're going to catch things. And how badly we suffer often depends on the ability of our immune system. Right, so I want to share some stuff with you and first before I do that, one, this is not medical advice. Seek your GP's advice on anything to do with medical advice. This is definitely not medical advice. And two, I am not a medical professional, but I am a fanatic about human performance. I'm a fanatic about personal mastery. So I reach out to the best people on the planet. I hire coaches who are world renowned at what they do to help me with my health, both mentally and physically. So I want to share some of that with you. It's only fair that I share. And here in New Zealand, if you're listening, in New Zealand right now, this is middle of winter, there's lots of colds, but I've got family up in the northern hemisphere, summer has just started and they're telling me there's colds and there's covids and there's all this stuff going on too. So this will be applicable no matter what time of year you happen to be listening to this. I'm going to share with you something that's called an immunity kit. It's an immunity kit and it's a dear friend, Andrew Hare, who owns an incredible company out of the US called Fount F O U N T and I'll put a link to his website below. And just before I go any further, I don't. I'm not endorsed by him. There's no royalties, there's no kickbacks, there's no commissions. I simply think he's phenomenal at what he does and you deserve to know about him. I've had him on the show before. I'll also put that featured length about him on twice, actually. I'll have those both episodes put in the show. Notes below, please go check them out. But Andrew, just to give you a bit of high level was brought in by the American military, the elite forces of the American military military. And he was focused on human performance and biotech. So he has developed some incredible things. He's an experimenter, he understands the body at a phenomenal level and so he's developed this thing called the immunity kit and I want to share with you what's in this amazing kit and I'm taking it right now. Why? Because I'm traveling a lot, I'm on a lot of planes. I'm in the northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere, all over New Zealand, Australia, the islands. It's full on right now with keynoting and leadership training that I'm delivering all around the world. So I know that I'm going to be picking up things and last week I did have a bit of a cold. So as soon as the cold came on I started the immunity kit and now I'm going to just continue it probably through the next six weeks whilst I'm on the road a lot. So I'm going to share with you what's in it, what those things are and if you want to get immunity kit just go to Fount Bio, that's his website, it's in the link and you can order your immunity kit. It's phenomenal. It's very simple, quick and easy. There's a PM and an AM So at nighttime here's what you take and in the morning here's what you take and then get on with life. So it beats a multivitamin. Multivitamins are generic, they're not giving you everything that you truly need. This is very specifically formulated for your immune system. So let's start at the top. Now I'm probably going to mispronounce this but I say quercetin, some people say quercetin, some people say quercetin. Whatever you call it, that's all good. So what is it? It's a plant pigment, a flavonoid and it has an antioxidant and anti inflammatory effect that helps reduce swelling, kill cancer cells, controls your blood sugar and prevents heart disease. So a really, really powerful supplement. Next we've got curcumin, or some people say curcumin. So it's known to really improve memory, which is never a bad thing, and brain health. But early studies suggest that regularly getting curcumin in your diet can increase brain chemicals that are linked to better memory and growth. And so it's really linked to, you know, if you think about brain health, it's. It's Alzheimer's, dementia. There's links to show there's lower risks to these things and there's massive benefits for your immune system. Tart cherry extract. And feel free to write these things down. I'll ask the team actually to put just a list of these in the show notes. I'm not going to tell you how many or when or the IU of them. I'm just going to give you a list. I do encourage you just go and get the immunity kit. Andrew formulates it in these amazing little pack. You just rip them and you go. But Tart cherry extract. So it contains melatonin. Right. So it's a hormone produced by the brain that really helps control our sleep, work cycle, sleep, wake cycle. And there's a. I can't really pronounce this. I think it's.

Tritofan, I'm pretty sure. Try to fan. I'm not good with the pronunciation of those things, but I try. It's a protein that helps the body produce melatonin. So really great if you're unwell, taking this in the evening, really great to induce sleep, help you get into deeper sleep. Vitamin D is the next one. So the Mayo Clinic, which many of you may be familiar with, did a study and they've come out with a statement that vitamin D in high levels. So in terms of IU, it's going to be 3,000 to 6,000 IU, so quite a heavy dose for this immunity kit. It's anti inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties will massively boost your immune health, muscle function and also brain activity. So vitamin D, it's something that for millennia people have probably been taking some source of vitamin D, but when we're under the weather, often we're not out in the sun getting vitamin D, so it's really important that we supplement it. Next we have black currant extract. So it's a chemical gla, they call it, so gamma linolenic acid. And that's going to help improve immune function and help decreases swelling. So athletes would use this quite a bit in recovery. But in terms of when you're sick or you're trying to prevent sickness, it boosts your immunity because the blackcurrant, all those kind of dark cherries and berries, they're known to have anthocyanins in them. So that's again, massive antioxidant effects. And when we're sick or we're trying to prevent sickness, we want to have as many antioxidants in our system as possible. Last but not least here I'm going to share with you is zinc. I take zinc piculinate. There's different forms of zinc. I purposely take this specific type of zinc because it's more easily absorbed. And again, it's quite a high dose. But again, I'll reiterate, for any medical.

Advice, go to your doctor.

This is not medical advice. These are immunity kits that I've had great experience with. They've helped me a lot. I've seen other people use them and get great results. And Andrew's research and study on it is phenomenal. So zinc is really known, has been known for years to improve your immune system and really strengthen it massively. It's also known to help heal wounds with zinc. You want to make sure that you're getting enough of it, particularly when you're trying to boost your immune system. So those are a list of the different items that are in the immunity kit. Obviously, they're not formulated in the correct orders and portions. Andrew does that beautifully, so please do go and check it out. But I want you to think about boosting your immune system. Not always just reacting to being sick and just being more proactive. I have not always been good at that historically, but now that I'm moving at the pace that I'm moving at and I want to keep moving at that pace, I want to make sure that my immune system is supporting it, my nervous system, my immune system, my physiology, all that stuff. So I wanted to let you in on that. I'm going to put those notes below with a list of those vitamins, but also a link through to Fountain and a link through the conversations I've had with Andrew. He does amazing, amazing work. So please do go check it out. But for now, until I see you next time, please get out there and lead your life on purpose.
