Your Brain on Ultra-Processed Foods: A New Scientific Perspective​

You already know ultra-processed foods aren't great for your waistline — but what are they doing to your brain? A wave of new scientific research is revealing a much darker picture, one that involves dopamine spikes, disrupted brain chemistry, mood disorders, and a controversial new clinical diagnosis that has health professionals rethinking everything. This article breaks down the emerging science in plain language and asks a question worth sitting with: is the food on your plate quietly rewiring the way you think, feel, and crave?

Immunity Boosters Already In Your Kitchen​

Your immune system depends on nutrients you eat—and it turns out, on the trillion microorganisms living in your gut. A new documentary series, Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine, explores how to use food as medicine to support both. Each episode includes recipes, ancient remedies, and strategies to fortify your immune and gut health through what you're already putting on your plate.​
You'll learn how to build plant-based healing recipes targeted to specific conditions, how herbs like garlic and ginger support your body's barrier functions, and why that ancient Indian spice shows up in both traditional and modern wellness work for its anti-inflammatory impact. There's a fire cider recipe used by herbalists to stop colds in their tracks, a Thai soup that combines immune-boosting mushrooms with anti-inflammatory spices, and dietary guidelines to support your microbiome as a living ecosystem rather than just fueling one body.​
The series dives into why your immunity is so tightly woven with your microbiome that the two are almost inseparable—and how the foods you choose directly shape both.​

Hi Jimi,
If you've attended one of our coaching workshops before, or explored our coaching certificate program, you already know the territory.
What you may not know is that we've rebuilt the program from the ground up.
The Plant-Based Coaching Certificate is now the Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching Certificate, formally expanding into the full spectrum of lifestyle medicine: food, sleep, movement, stress, and connection.
We're launching the new program with a free three-day workshop starting August 21, and I'd love for you to join us.

Join me and Dr. Joel Bohemier LIVE as we reveal what we developed deep within the new Regenerate Men's and Women's Multivitamins, why it has revolutionized the category, and why you do not want to miss this one.
If GreenMedInfo and I have stood for anything across two decades, it is this: deep transformation of health, deep empowerment, and a refusal to accept conventional limits on the body's ability to regenerate and express the highest version of itself.

For nearly twenty years I have studied the evidence behind food, nutrients, botanicals, mushrooms, and the extraordinary intelligence of the human body. The conclusion I keep returning to defies everything the conventional model teaches: the body is not a machine wearing down toward inevitable decline. It is a living, self-renewing system, and under the right conditions its capacity for regeneration is far greater than we have been told.

The new Regenerate Men's and Women's Multivitamins were engineered around that conviction. And buried deep within them is what I believe may be the ultimate longevity secret. Not one we invented. One we grew.

We Put the Category Back in the Soil

Somewhere along the way, the supplement industry forgot where nutrition actually comes from. Isolated compounds. Synthetic inputs. "Whole food" labels on products that never touched a farm.

We went the other way, all the way back to living soil.

The regenerative ingredients at the heart of these formulas are grown at Heal the Planet Farm, a Regenerative Organic Certified® farm in Summertown, Tennessee, where the same practices that restore soil, water, and ecosystems produce the raw material for your daily foundation. This is what I mean when I say we are reinventing the whole-food supplement category: rooting it, quite literally, back into the earth. Nutrition that regenerates you should begin in soil that regenerates the planet.

On that foundation, each formula delivers more than 40 vitamins, minerals, botanicals, adaptogens, superfoods, and five functional mushrooms, built on fermented vitamins and Peptide Powered Minerals™. The Women's Multi adds Shatavari SRI-81™, the Ayurvedic "Queen of Herbs," for an additional layer of support for women's hormonal health.

And still, none of that is the secret.
The Secret at the Growing Tip of Life

If you have read Regenerate, you have already seen the clue on the cover. The Romanesco points to the meristematic cell, the "immortal" stem cell at the growing tip of every plant, where life retains its full, undiminished capacity to begin again.

That principle is what we engineered into BIOSTEM Cell Blend™: young regenerative plant tissues, the plant kingdom's own stem cells, cultivated together with mushroom mycelium and exposed during growth to carefully selected light and sound frequencies spanning the full visible color spectrum. Because living organisms are not passive collections of molecules. They listen. They respond to information. Light matters. Sound matters. Soil matters. The conditions in which life grows matter.

That is part of what we mean by Ancient Intelligence, and it is why I believe the humble multivitamin has now been completely reimagined.

I am deliberately not going to reveal the full BIOSTEM story here. How the process works, what we discovered along the way, and why I believe it opens a new era for foundational nutrition: that is exactly what Dr. Joel and I are saving for the livestream.

During this livestream we will take you inside both formulas, into the soil, the fermentation, the fungi, the light and sound, and the longevity principle hiding at the heart of it all.

If you have ever sensed that your health could express something far greater than "normal for your age," this conversation is for you.

This is the one to show up for. You do not want to miss it.

Depression Increases Chronic Illness
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
Research has indicates that depression hits the whole body, speeding the onset of long-term physical ills as people age. A study of more than 172,500 Britons over the age of 39 found that those with a history of depression began to develop long-term physical ailments about 30 percent earlier than people without such histories.
Researchers looked at data from the ongoing UK Biobank. It included adults ages 40 to 71 who completed baseline assessments between 2006 and 2010. Participants’ health was followed for an average of just under seven years, and the onset of 69 selected physical conditions were tracked.
Over the study period, people without any history of depression developed an average of 0.16 of these conditions per year, the study found. However, that number jumped to 2.0 per year for people who had a history of depression.
Special: Top Cardiologist Says Make More of This 'Gas' And Naturally Help Your Blood Pressure
Among the most common illnesses were:
• Osteoarthritis (15.7 percent of those with depression versus 12.5 percent without)
• High blood pressure (12.9 percent versus 12.0 percent)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (13.8 percent versus 9.6 percent)
All of this means that depression should be looked upon holistically, as a “whole body” disease, and treated accordingly.

If you feel heavy after meals or struggle with constipation, I want to tell you something surprising about bile.


And why it might be the fix to finally get things “moving” again.


As you may know, bile is a digestive fluid made by your liver and stored in your gallbladder. One of its main jobs is breaking down dietary fat.


When you eat fatty food, be it an avocado or plate of nachos, bile breaks down that fat so your body can use it as energy… instead of it sitting like a pile of bricks in your stomach.


So far, so good, right?


When it comes to gut health, you’re a smart (plant-based) cookie. So this may not be surprising.


But what might surprise you is that bile also helps keep things moving through your gut.


It’s not only about breaking food down. It also plays a role in the muscle contractions that push waste along and out of your body.


Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have been studying this connection in women specifically.


In a clinical trial, when women with a common type of chronic constipation called IBS-C were given bile acids directly, their digestion sped up within days. (1)


I know women who have been struggling with chronic constipation for months or even years. So this is potentially HUGE.


Years later, follow-up research uncovered a likely reason why: some women with this kind of constipation naturally have lower bile levels than others, and that shortfall was linked to slower digestion overall.


Which brings us back to your liver.


Your liver is the one making that bile, every single day.


When it’s asked to do too much, whether that’s keeping up with chronic stress, poor sleep, or years of asking one organ to do more than it was built for, its bile production can slow to a trickle.


And when that happens, it can show up as feeling heavy after meals, or as constipation that doesn’t seem to have an obvious cause.


What’s more, poor liver health is far more common than most folks realize.


According to the American Liver Foundation, more than 100 million Americans are living with some form of liver disease.


Many of them don’t even know it, because your liver doesn’t always send you an obvious warning sign.


It may be asking for help through seemingly unrelated symptoms like chronic constipation.


If you want to see how improving your liver health can improve your digestion (and so much more), don’t miss the free live class with Laurentine Ten Bosch and David Wolfe this Tuesday, August 18th.


They’re breaking down what can get in the way of healthy liver function, and sharing practical, plant-based ways to support it.


I’d love for you to join them.

The secret to never getting sick
Ever wondered why Americans live almost 5 years less than people in Germany and Taiwan?
And why millions of people struggle with one or more chronic diseases by the time they’re 40 or 45?
In my professional opinion as an integrative practitioner, the #1 reason is our flawed health and medical approach.
You deserve to learn the truth.
That’s why 34 world-renowned doctors and health experts, including Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. David Perlmutter, Ocean Robbins, Brian Vaszily, got together to share some uncomfortable truths about why our system is broken.
And to help you understand why so many people, including you, your family, or your friends don’t have to:
- Struggle with losing weight, no matter what diet they try or how hard they exercise
- Feel like their brain is drowning in a constant fog
- Ruin your nights because of insomnia
- Feel uncomfortable after meals because of bloating, heartburn, painful gas and indigestion
- Experience body aches for no reason
Save your seat for this groundbreaking event to discover how to bulletproof your health.
It starts soon - Episode 1 premieres August 17th at 5pm PT / 8pm ET.
mail

This information is for anyone who’s battling chronic illnesses or just wants to protect their health and live a long, vibrant and energetic life.
So I encourage you to watch the video and learn how to protect yourself, even if the system has failed you.
Register before August 17th for complimentary access to the entire series.
Wishing you abundant health,
Jason Prall

Hey Jimi,
You probably already know more about natural wellness than most people in your life.
You’ve read the research and seen the difference real food and healthy lifestyle choices can make. You may have even transformed your own health and felt the pull to help others do the same.
So you share what you know. You forward an article. You bring it up at dinner. You answer the questions people ask you.
And then… not much changes.
It’s not that you’re wrong. The science is on your side!
It’s that knowing the right information and knowing how to help someone actually use it are two very different skills.
That’s the gap my friends at Food Revolution Network are addressing with their free Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching Workshop.

Over three live sessions, you’ll learn from leading experts in nutrition, behavior change, and coaching, including physicians, registered dietitians, and professional coaches who have spent careers figuring out what actually moves people.
You’re not just going to learn what to eat. You’re going to see how it’s possible to:
  • Reach someone who isn’t ready
  • Meet resistance without losing the relationship
  • Turn a single conversation into a lasting shift
Information alone rarely creates transformation. What changes people is feeling understood, supported, and capable, and that takes a specific set of skills.
This workshop will show you what those skills look like, whether you want to use them with a client, a patient, a friend, or a family member who’s been nodding along for years without changing a thing.
It’s completely free, kicks off on Friday, August 21, and replays are available if you can’t join live.
>> Join the Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching Workshop now.

P.S. The workshop is hosted by Ocean Robbins and the team at Food Revolution Network, one of the most trusted voices in evidence-based wellness. If you’ve been looking for a way to make your knowledge actually land, this is it. Register here.

Best Ways To Reduce Risk Of Alzheimer’s​

Alzheimer's Disease is becoming one of the most urgent health concerns of our time, with millions of seniors already affected and the numbers expected to climb. But here's what many people don't realize: your daily habits may play a bigger role in your brain's future than genetics alone. This article breaks down the evidence-backed strategies that researchers believe can meaningfully lower your risk — some of which are simpler than you might expect. If you or someone you love wants to take a more proactive approach to brain health, this is essential reading.

There's a pattern that shows up in sleep research worth knowing about: two of the most common health complaints — feeling wired and restless at night, and feeling drained and foggy all day — are often caused by the same handful of overlooked triggers.

We published two pieces this week that tackle both sides of that equation.



The first covers what actually happens in your brain when sleep won't come — and why most advice misses the point. There's a physiological trick involving body temperature that a 2019 meta-analysis found shortened sleep onset by around 10 minutes on average, without any supplements or devices.



The second digs into why so many people feel constantly tired despite sleeping "enough." One of the seven reasons on the list surprises almost everyone — and it's diagnosable with a standard blood test most people have never had.



Both articles are on the blog now, if you want to take a look:



→ How to Fall Asleep Fast: Proven Tricks for Insomnia Relief



→ Why Am I Always Tired? 7 Common Reasons and How to Fix Them



Quick question, if you don't mind: of the two, which one describes you more right now — trouble falling asleep, or waking up already tired? Curious where most people land.

FEATURED REPLAY

Love that this presentation combined how to have the healthiest CELLS possible for overall health and healing (and reversing or not getting a chronic disease)

along with how to have the healthiest SKIN possible…

because who doesn’t want to have tight, radiant skin? ;)

And I shouldn’t make light of that because skin CONDITIONS and what to do about them were covered EXTENSIVELY as well. :)

That would be our Healthy Cell Membranes webinar with my friend Justine Stenger, director of clinical education for BodyBio, which 👉 you can watch here!

And from the presentation you can tell Justine is very much used to teaching doctors as a boy. Was it in-depth? I learned WAY more about skin than I knew before, even after having gone through eczema with Rocky…

but bottom line, as I said before, we have their PC in our Healthy Cell Membranes category of supplements, which we’re ALWAYS on at least one thing in that list…

and how it differs from essential fatty acids is that your body uses essential fatty acids in a variety of ways, and one huge way is making phospholipids for your cell membranes

however, all systems have to be functioning perfectly for that process to happen perfectly, which is hit or miss these days…

so the PC just gives the cells the final end product to be absolutely sure you’ve got enough for proper cellular structure and function.

And you can surely tell it makes a HUGE difference in both how you look and feel!

As I said, budget allows, it’s great to be on an EFA product and PC at the same time; sometimes we do that, and sometimes we rotate…

but their Balance Oil and Evening Primrose Oil are both amazing on the EFA front as well!

FEATURED EVENT

The latest iteration of 👉 The Healing Kitchen series is starting soon!

If you want an entertaining masterclass on healing / anti-cancer cooking, and upping your game WAY beyond my standard “just cover everything in herbs and spices” advice, you should definitely register to tune in when it goes live. :)

FEATURED DEAL

Thought I’d throw this in here, as it’s still summertime, which means it’s still pool season…

and if you’ll be indulging in any chlorine pools, PLEASE take a binder before and after!

It really helps catch the chlorine before it does as much damage when it gets into your body.

And detox in general, of course / ideally take before bed so it catches toxicity in the bile when your liver dumps overnight before it has a chance to get reabsorbed. :)

True Cellular Formulas brought back their buy one get two deal on our favorite combo binder, True Carbon Cleanse, which 👉 you can get here while it’s up!

Certain smells meant someone was there taking care of things. Certain recipes were made when you were sick, celebrating, grieving or simply having an ordinary Tuesday night with your family. Those experiences become intertwined with the food itself.
There is a chemical reason those experiences can feel so powerful (and you can use it for other things too).
Your mother's cooking may have been doing more than feeding you. It was part of the environment in which your brain learned what home felt like.​
We tend to talk about nutrition in terms of calories, vitamins and minerals, but eating is also an experience involving memory, emotion, sensory perception and connection.
Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine is a new 9-part documentary series about medicinal foods, traditional cooking and the ways food has been used to nourish both the body and the human experience.
The series goes well beyond simply telling you which foods are "healthy." It explores recipes, traditions and the people who have preserved food knowledge across generations.
Watch the trailer here.
With aligned purpose,​
