KEY TAKEAWAYS
Quality matters when breaking a fast – After reducing inflammation and lowering insulin through fasting, the last thing you want is processed foods full of dyes, preservatives, and sugar that spike blood sugar and destroy gut health.
Grass-fed beef is anti-inflammatory – Regenerative grass-fed beef should be easy to digest with zero inflammation, making it an ideal protein source for those with autoimmune conditions or gut sensitivities.
Simple ingredients = better digestion – Products with just three ingredients (grass-fed beef, apple cider vinegar, sea salt) are significantly easier on your digestive system than conventional beef jerky loaded with additives.
Beef liver is nutritional gold – Grass-fed beef liver contains concentrated amounts of iron, magnesium, and B vitamins that support liver health and promote a healthy lifespan when consumed regularly.
Your liver determines your longevity – When you fast, eat clean, and increase metabolism through healthy choices, you directly improve liver health, which is fundamental to longevity and disease prevention.

Nurse Doza explores the power of Vitamin B6 in this episode of the Ingredient Series. From mood and sleep to stress resilience and neurotransmitter production, B6 is a silent workhorse most people are deficient in. Learn why the form P5P matters and how it helps support calm, focused energy.
✅ 5 Key Takeaways
• Vitamin B6 is critical for neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
• Supports mood, sleep, and stress regulation
• Creates “calm energy,” not stimulation
• Best taken in the form P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
• Included in MSW Nutrition’s Zen formula

Good Poops Protocol –is a powerful combination of supplements designed to support gut health, metabolism, and daily detox. One of the key ingredients is Berberine Plus, which works like a GLP-1 by helping control blood sugar, curb cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity—essential factors when building muscle and burning fat through resistance training.
👉 Get Good Poops Protocol here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/good-poops-protocol
Discover why resistance training is the best exercise for weight loss. Learn how lifting weights builds lean muscle mass, lowers blood sugar naturally, burns fat for energy, requires minimal equipment, and boosts sex hormone production for sustainable metabolic health and long-term results.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Resistance training builds lean muscle mass – Skeletal muscles function as metabolic organs that burn more calories at rest. After six months of consistent weight training, larger muscles increase your resting metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories throughout the day even when you're not exercising.
Lifting weights lowers blood sugar naturally – Resistance training improves blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity by directing sugar into muscles for energy and muscle building rather than storing it as fat in the liver. This makes it one of the most effective natural strategies for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes.
Weight training burns fat for energy long after your workout – Studies show resistance exercise creates genetic signals that jump-start fat-burning processes in fat cells, with elevated energy expenditure and fat burning continuing for at least 24 hours post-workout in both men and women.
You don't need expensive equipment or a gym membership – Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, planks, walking lunges, and yoga provide effective resistance training using your own body weight. A simple kettlebell at home can maximize your workout efficiency in just 20 minutes.
Resistance training increases sex hormone production – High-intensity resistance exercise significantly elevates testosterone levels in both men and women, while 12 weeks of resistance training improves estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, supporting reproductive health, bone density, and overall metabolic function.
JOIN THE SCHOOL
Struggling to stay consistent with resistance training or unsure how to structure your workouts for maximum fat loss? You're not alone. Many people start strong but lose momentum without proper guidance and community support.
Inside the School of Doza, you'll connect with others on the same weight loss and fitness journey, get personalized answers during our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions (functioning like group consults where we troubleshoot your specific challenges), and receive ongoing accountability to help you build sustainable exercise habits that actually stick.

Get zen here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/zen
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Adrenal dysfunction is the primary cause of chronic fatigue - When stress overactivates your adrenal glands for years, cortisol production becomes imbalanced, disrupting sleep and draining energy even after a full night's rest.
Chronic inflammation creates debilitating tiredness - Conditions like insulin resistance, autoimmune disorders, liver issues, and chronic pain keep your body in a constant state of metabolic stress that depletes energy reserves.
Nutritional deficiencies directly impact energy production - Deficiencies in B vitamins (especially B6, B9, and B12), choline, and vitamin D impair neurotransmitter production and cellular energy, with genetic factors like MTHFR compounding the problem.
Morning sunlight is non-negotiable for energy regulation - Just 10-15 minutes of morning sun exposure produces 10,000 IU of vitamin D, increases serotonin and cortisol naturally, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep and daytime energy.
Hormone decline accelerates fatigue after age 40 - Low testosterone in men and declining estrogen in women contribute significantly to persistent tiredness, but addressing adrenal health should always come before hormone replacement.
JOIN THE SCHOOL
Recovering from adrenal fatigue requires more than just breathing exercises and supplements—your diet plays a crucial role in cortisol regulation and energy stability. That's why we're launching a 6-week "No Grains. No Sugar." class starting Thursday, January 15th.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS • NAC is a foundational supplement for liver support and detoxification. • NAC helps break down mucus, making it useful for allergies and congestion. • Combining NAC with cofactors (as in NAC+) enhances its effectiveness. • It plays a role in glutathione production, your body’s master antioxidant. • NAC can support lung health and immune resilience, especially in high-toxin environments. ⸻
The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds isn't just about diet or workouts—it’s your liver. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how your liver impacts fat loss through detox, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, and mindset. If you’re stuck in your weight loss journey, your liver may be the key.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
The liver produces antioxidants like glutathione that directly reduce inflammation and support fat metabolism.
Hormone balance—especially estrogen and cortisol regulation—depends on liver health.
Blood sugar regulation starts with the liver, which stores and processes glucose after meals.
Fat cells become inflamed without proper liver function, leading to leptin resistance and weight gain.
Sustainable fat loss requires mindset shifts—and liver support helps you regain control.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Blood Sugar Disruption – Alcohol converts directly into blood sugar and is stored as fat in the liver, contributing to pre-diabetes and fatty liver disease that affects one in four people worldwide.
Gut & Liver Inflammation – Alcohol acts as a toxin that damages gut lining, disrupts the microbiome, causes leaky gut, and generates oxidative stress that your liver must work overtime to neutralize.
Neurotransmitter Imbalance – While alcohol temporarily boosts serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, it severely disrupts sleep quality, increases anxiety and depression risk, and prevents proper brain detoxification during rest.
Mineral Depletion – Alcohol's diuretic effect causes critical loss of selenium, zinc, magnesium, and potassium—minerals essential for liver function, antioxidant production, and cellular protection.
Hormone & Cancer Risk – Long-term alcohol consumption suppresses testosterone, increases estrogen through aromatization, and is classified as a carcinogen linked to multiple cancer types including liver, breast, and colorectal cancers.

Learn exactly how the flu makes you sick and how to interrupt each phase of infection. Discover the science-backed supplements that act as "fire extinguishers" for inflammation, why vitamin D and NAC are essential during flu season, and how to support your immune system before, during, and after viral infections to recover faster and stay healthier year-round.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
The flu is a viral infection that never truly leaves your body – it can lay dormant and flare up during times of stress, making prevention and immune support crucial year-round, not just during illness.
Vitamin D and NAC are your immune system's "fire extinguishers" – both reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α and IL-6) that cause severe lung inflammation during flu infections, helping you recover faster and experience less severe symptoms.
NAC does triple duty during flu season – it thins mucus for easier breathing, reduces inflammation in the lungs, and boosts glutathione production (your body's master antioxidant) to fight viral infections more effectively.
Most people are deficient in the nutrients needed to fight flu – vitamin D deficiency affects most of the population, and low levels of glutathione, zinc, and selenium make you more vulnerable to severe viral infections and slower recovery.
Viral infections deplete your adrenal glands – the constant stress response during and after flu infection tanks your HRV and DHEAS levels, requiring adrenal support to fully recover and prevent long-term fatigue or autoimmune-like symptoms.
FEATURED PRODUCT
The D - provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D3, which acts as a "fire extinguisher" for inflammatory cytokines released during viral infections, reducing lung inflammation and supporting your body's natural immune response.

Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates.
Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label.
Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function.
Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions.
Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function.
FEATURED PRODUCT
Good Poops Protocol – Even the highest-quality vitamins won't work if your gut can't absorb them. The Good Poops Protocol is designed to repair and support your digestive tract, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and breakdown.

Discover which morning vitamins maximize your energy and which ones sabotage your sleep. Learn the optimal timing for vitamin D3, B vitamins, NAD+, resveratrol, and magnesium threonate to support your body's natural rhythms. This episode reveals how strategic supplement timing can transform your daily performance and overall health without relying on coffee. (497 characters)
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Vitamin D3 is essential for morning routines – Taking 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 with K2 first thing in the morning boosts immune function and mood by mimicking natural sunlight exposure when your body needs it most.
B vitamins power daytime energy production – B12, B9 (folate), B6, and B5 are water-soluble vitamins that support cellular energy, focus, and neurotransmitter production throughout the day without causing afternoon crashes like caffeine.
NAD+ injections provide immediate cellular energy – This molecule naturally declines with age but can be replenished through injections that deliver hours or even days of sustained energy, making it particularly beneficial for menopausal women and anyone experiencing fatigue.
Resveratrol supports mitochondrial function – This powerful antioxidant enhances energy production at the cellular level, supports cardiovascular health, and helps regulate blood sugar when taken during active daylight hours.
Magnesium threonate protects brain function – Unlike other forms of magnesium, threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier to reduce neuroinflammation, enhance focus, and support cognitive performance throughout your demanding day.

Learn how to restore your adrenal function and reclaim your energy with this comprehensive 90-day reset plan. Nurse Doza maps out a practical approach to reversing adrenal fatigue through measurable testing (DHEAS and HRV), lifestyle modifications including belly breathing and sunlight exposure, and targeted supplementation to support your body's stress response and energy production.
Character count: 394
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Measure Your Adrenal Function: DHEAS blood testing (optimal range: 200-250) provides a stable measurement of adrenal function over time without daily variation, while Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracks your recent stress response and nervous system health in real-time.
Activate Rest and Digest Mode: Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) actively shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode by increasing parasympathetic activity, lowering cortisol levels, and improving HRV with just 4-7 minutes daily.
Morning Sunlight Resets Your System: Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking naturally boosts cortisol production, increases serotonin synthesis, provides vitamin D, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep—aim for 30-45 minutes of direct sunlight without sunglasses.
Support with Targeted Nutrition: Bovine adrenal gland extracts provide building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, a practice used successfully since the early 1900s, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) help regulate cortisol production and support energy metabolism.
Address Underlying Trauma: Unresolved trauma from childhood or adulthood chronically activates your stress response and suppresses adrenal function—addressing it through therapies like CBT, EMDR, or somatic experiencing is essential for long-term adrenal recovery and nervous system regulation.
FEATURED PRODUCT
Zen – featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol production—key factors in restoring energy and recovering from burnout as discussed in this episode. The bovine adrenal gland provides the building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) support healthy stress response. Zen is the gentle, targeted support your adrenals need during this 90-day reset.
