This is real food. Also, Paleo Valley has some of my all time favorite supplements. I just got back from traveling. I utilize their supplements all the time, especially when I'm traveling to help my body to adapt. And one of the most time tested supplements to help our bodies to do that is vitamin C. But Paleo Valley is going above and beyond because their essential C complex is a real food based concentrate of vitamin C. And multiple studies have indicated, as we've shared here on the show many times, that synthetic, quote, ascorbic acid looks identical to the vitamin C that we all kind of consider. But most of this ascorbic acid on the market is made from genetically modified cornstarch and corn syrup. And multiple studies have affirmed that this form of vitamin C supplementation can lead to a higher incidence of things like kidney stones. No bueno. We don't want that. We want the real deal, holy field when it comes to our vitamin C supplementation because also studies have affirmed that whole food concentrates like the combination found in the essential C complex from Paleovalley, one of those ingredients being camu camu berry, has been found head to head against the synthetic version, which created no beneficial impact.

It burns fat better than endurance training. When you think about the average population, and say, this is a bone I have to pick, a woman who turns 40 and she thinks, okay, I need a goal, I'm gonna train for a marathon. She has no business training for a marathon. I'm like, girl, you need to train for the 100 meters instead. Why? Okay. So usually she's trying to lose weight, because around that age, even earlier, even age 35, women's hormones are starting this roller coaster. And so maybe things that she's done before hasn't worked anymore. I hear this story all the time with my clients. Well, I used to be able to just grind it off, and now the weight's not moving. So they think, I need a bigger goal. I'm going to train for a marathon. But what happens is that they're running all this mileage slow because they haven't really gotten strong enough to run fast, or they're not in shape. So they're running all this mileage slow, trying to lose this body fat. But they're actually, their body fat is clinging to them, and they're not losing the weight. Maybe they'll lose a few pounds if they're majorly overweight at first. But sprinting actually has a better epoch. You know, epoch, yeah. Post-exercise oxygen consumption. So you're basically, you need to feed your body again longer after sprinting. But that, but also the rise in catecholamines. So adrenaline, noradrenaline, all of these catecholamines linger a long time after sprinting. Whereas endurance training, it's kind of like endurance training heats up the body like a thermostat just during that time. But sprinting lights the fire, and that fire keeps burning through the night. If that you can imagine that for fat loss. So I always tell women, no, like train for the 100 meters instead, if really that's your goal is to get in great shape.
