Probiotics is a major global industry. But like any industry, it had to have a beginning. Natasha Trenev is the daughter of an Eastern European family where the manufacturing of yogurt was a generational business. When Natasha emigrated to the US in the 1960’s, she brought with her 750 years of family experience with probiotics – and introduced the science (and the term itself) to her new country. Today, Natasha’s California-based Natren, Inc. is the recognized pioneer in probiotics and company founder Natasha Trenev has earned recognition as the Mother of Probiotics. Her more than 50 years of work in natural health is at the core of the unparalleled success of her company – and you will benefit from her depth of expertise in each and every episode of THE POWER OF PROBIOTICS.
Probiotics are live microrganisms that are commonly referred to as ‘friendly,’ ‘good’ or ‘healthy’ bacteria that function to help maintain the natural balance of organisms in the intestine. Throughout Natasha’s extensive work in the field of probiotics, she has always been amazed by how nature provides the very ‘good’ bacteria that can help overpower ‘bad’ bacteria to keep our digestive tracts functioning at peak performance. Properly cultivating friendly bacteria and ensuring their potency is at the core of the Natren Process. Natren is cited – by retailers, by the medical community and by consumers – as the best probiotic supplement available. Only Natren carefully chooses its probiotic cultures, formulates and manufactures its industry standard probiotics in its own plant and utilizes a specially-formulated oil matrix to protect probiotics bacteria to survive until they reach their destination in the upper small intestine. This is why only Natren is the most trusted probiotic supplement on the market. Truly, where other probiotic supplements promise – Natren Delivers.
To learn more about how probiotics can benefit your health, we are proud to introduce you to THE POWER OF PROBIOTICS with The Mother of Probiotics, Natasha Trenev.

RadioMD Presents: Healthy Talk | Original Air Date: February 10, 2015
Host: Michael Smith, MD
You’re listening to RadioMD. It’s time to “Ask Dr. Mike” on Healthy Talk. Call or email to ask your questions now. Email: AskDrMikeSmith@RadioMD.com or call: 877-711-5211. The lines are open.
Alright. Moving on with the questions here. This next one, I also had to have some help from the health advisory staff here at Life Extension because I’ve heard of this and I think I followed this question—this risk factor for breast cancer--for a little bit, but I really didn’t know where we were with any recent research. So, the question is, “I have two questions about breast cancer. First, does wearing a bra cause breast cancer? And second, do anti-perspirants that contain aluminum cause breast cancer?”
So, let’s take each one of these one at a time. So, the first one is about wearing a bra. Can it cause breast cancer? So, the theory originally—and I think this started maybe 20 years or so ago—there were some proponents that it was a risk; that wearing a bra was a risk factor. They were concerned, simplifying it, that it constricted the lymphatic flow in the breast tissue. So, you have different types of fluids that flow around your body, right? You, obviously, have the vessels. You have arteries and veins for blood, but there’s also another type of vessel called a “lymphatic” vessel. What the lymph systems does is it drains lymph nodes, right? So, a lymph node is a place where toxins and bacteria and viruses and even like cancer cells will collect. You have lymph nodes all over your body. They tend to concentrate in certain areas like in the breast, in the axillary region, which is basically the armpit, neck, groin, so you have these areas of tissue where bacteria, viruses, and toxins are brought because you have this concentration of immune cells in this lymph tissue—these lymph nodes. But see, here’s the thing. Once you bring viruses and toxins and bacteria to these areas and there is an immune response that happens there, you have to be able to drain it because if not, then the lymph tissue would just swell, swell, swell and it would basically burst and then dump all that gunk all over the place. That wouldn’t be good. So, you actually have a way to drain lymph nodes. It’s called “lymphatic” vessels or the “lymphatic system”. So, the thought was that if you are wearing something that constricts the lymphatic system, that that might not be great and could increase the risk for breast cancer. I guess, for guys, I guess I could extrapolate that to wearing tight underwear or jock straps. I mean, if you’re constricting the lymph tissues in the groin, could that increase my risk of testicular cancer? I mean, it’s all kind of the same thing, right? So, you’re not allowing the body to get rid of the gunk that’s building up in the lymph nodes. That’s basically what the theory was. And, that’s about as far as I knew. I wasn’t up to date on if there was anybody looking at this study. So far, research shows—and this comes from the help I had here at Life Extension—so far research shows the risk for breast cancer is the same regardless of a woman’s choice to wear a bra. A recent study published in October 2014, and I’m sorry I don’t have that journal cite, but a recent study published in October 2014, found no correlation between wearing a bra or not wearing a bra in breast cancer risk. If you are still concerned, try wearing a well-fitted bra without underwire and that should alleviate any pressure on the lymph system. As far as I know, there have never been any studies in, let’s say, jock straps in guys in the groin area and testicular cancer so, at this point, it does not seem that constricting lymph flow with outer garments increases the risk of cancer which makes sense.
I mean, you know, when you think of the anatomy, you can feel lymph nodes, especially when they get swollen. I mean, if you get a cold, just feel around your neck. You’ll feel some nodes. You know, in kids, they always have nodes anyway around their necks and stuff and you can sometimes feel them under your armpits and stuff. But, the actual drainage system—the lymphatic vessels are pretty deep. I’m picturing when I was in anatomy class that we had a couple of cadavers that we stripped completely bare except for the bones. We had another one that was stripped completely bare except for the arteries and one that was only showing the veins. I remember we had one that was only the lymphatic system and I remember looking at that and when you look at those cadavers, if you could almost put them together in your mind, you could see that the lymph system was pretty deep. So, it would take some pretty tight clothing or bras or jock straps to really cause a compression of the lymph tissue. So, that makes sense to me.
Now, let’s go on to the next question which was about the aluminum. Now, listen, aluminum’s a metal. Metals cause oxidative stress and oxidative stress is one of the leading theories of aging and the development of all kinds of chronic, age-related diseases. So, right there you know that putting metals on your body, in your body, is not always the greatest thing, definitely on a daily basis. I mean, you do need some of these metals to live, but the question is, how much. I mean, can you overdo it and I think that’s where the concern is with anti-perspirants. There’s a lot of aluminum. The skin under the arms is quite thin. It does absorb there pretty readily. That’s why it works. That’s why it stops sweating and so you probably are getting a decent load of aluminum from an anti-perspirant. But, the question is, is that dangerous? I mean, is it enough to cause problems, like say, with dementias which we already have connected to aluminum.
But, in this case, when it comes to breast cancer, here’s what we’ve found. As far as anti-perspirants go, this concerned an issue that came about when aluminum was found in breast tumors. Aluminum is a common ingredient in anti-perspirants and prevents sweat from reaching the body’s surface. Proponents argue that sweat eliminates toxins which could otherwise be carcinogenic. While we see the logic in this, foregoing anti-perspirants isn’t really necessary. Most of the toxins eliminated by the human body are excreted via the digestive system and urinary systems. If you still remain concerned, opt to wear deodorants with natural ingredients. Deodorants do not prevent the release of sweat. It’s the anti-perspirant part. So, again, when it comes to bras and anti-perspirants, there’s no real evidence in the literature that we have to worry about that.
I saw a caller come on, but it looks like they were taken off the board which is probably good because I don’t think I have too much time left.
Let me go to a quick question here. “My hot flashes aren’t really that bad but, nevertheless, I’d like not to have them. I’ve read some promising information on hops. What do you think? Are hops really that good at stopping hot flashes?”
Yes. You know, it’s not traditional. Dong quai, black cohosh, estrogen replacement therapy-- those are the traditional things that women will do to prevent menopausal symptoms. I think this should actually be a good segment. I should do one on menopause and some of the latest stuff because hops, along with another type of nutrient called “lignans” from the bark of trees like Norway spruce, for instance, have been shown to reduce hot flash symptoms in some cases better than the traditional stuff, other than estrogen. Estrogen’s the best way to go. I mean, if you’re having menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and your estrogen’s low, progesterone’s out, replacing those hormones with bio-identical formulations is the best way to handle that. But, if you don’t want to do that, which is fine—that’s your choice--hops and lignans—I don’t remember the data specifically, but we’re talking about reducing the number of hot flashes significantly by a third, maybe up to a half, which really is better than some of the traditional stuff that women use like black cohosh which really is pretty inconsistent in the literature. So, hops. Yes. I think hops would be a good one to try and, if not, maybe even add some lignans to it. Norway spruce lignans.

RadioMD Presents: Healthy Talk | Original Air Date: February 10, 2015
Host: Michael Smith, MD
It’s time for you to be a part of the show. Email or call with questions for Dr. Mike now. Email: AskDrMikeSmith@RadioMD.com or call: 877-711-5211. What are you waiting for? The doctor is in.
That’s 877-711-5211. Give me a call if you want to say “hi” and ask a question. You can also send me your emails, AskDrMikeSmith@RadioMD.com.
This first question, I have to admit, I forgot to print it out, but I remembered it because it was based on a previous segment I did, maybe last week. I don’t remember exactly, but it was on sugary sodas—carbonated, sugary sodas—and the harm they do to your body. Specifically, they reduce the length of the telomere which is your biological clock. The shorter and shorter the telomere gets, the older and older the cell is. It’s one of the theories of aging. So, this person asked the question about sports drinks and I don’t remember the whole question, but basically, you know, the gist of it was, he stopped drinking the carbonated, sugary sodas, switched over to kind of fruit juices—sports drinks, I think he said—and he wondered if that was okay. Well, from the perspective of the telomere shortening, they did test different types of sugary drinks. They looked at carbonated, non-carbonated. I don’t know if they specifically looked at fruit juice versus a sport drink, but I do remember that being a division in the study—carbonated versus uncarbonated—and the only type of drink that shortened the telomeres was the sugary, carbonated drinks. So, at least for now—remember, in science, we’re always learning things, right? It’s dynamic. It’s always changing. At least for now, based on one study, sport drinks and fruit juices should be okay when it comes to telomere length. Just definitely don’t do the, you know, the Cokes and all that kind of stuff. Okay. So, that’s just with telomeres, though. So, that’s the good news, I guess. But, I have to talk a little bit about the bad news. There are other studies, though. Forget telomeres for now. There are other studies that have clearly shown that one 12-ounce sugary drink a day, regardless of the source—even the fruit juices--you have to be careful. If there’s a lot of sugar in that 12-ounce drink, which is the standard. Eight to twelve is kind of the standard they used in the study. So, 8 to 12 ounces of sugary drinks—carbonated or not—significantly increases the risk of diabetes and diabetes is devastating. So, one on hand, you know, based on how the question was asked, okay, in terms of telomere length, sport drinks that are loaded with sugar, fruit juices, should be fine. But, in terms of diabetic risk, diabetes risk? No. It’s not fine. We should be drinking more water. Water. And we have to get over that. We have to get over this need to be drinking anything but water. Now, I’m not saying you should be boring with everything. You know, a glass of wine on occasion. A beer here and there. Some coffee in the morning. Fine. But, we are addicted to sugar. So, this person who wrote this question went from the sugary carbonated drinks to sugary noncarbonated drinks. Well, to me, that’s not much of an improvement. It’s still sugar. So, we need to get off those types of drinks completely. We need to get more into water, water and more water. Okay. So, that was the first question.
Question number two. Oh, and I had to write this down. Okay. I actually answered this question during the break here. The question is: “You once did a show on the 17 heart disease risk factors. Can you review them again?” Okay. So, I actually go over the questions in preparing for the show ahead of time and I saw this and I said, “Oh, God. That’s easy. I can answer that. No problem.” And, in between the segments, I looked at the question again and I thought, “Wow. Can I come up with the 17 risk factors?” So, I did my best here and wrote them down and I got to about 14 of the 17 heart disease risk factors that I’ve talked about before. So, I had to go on LifeExtension.com. If you search 17 heart daggers, we have this nice image where the risk factors are represented as daggers stabbing the heart. You can see all 17. So, I had to go there to finish my list here. So real quickly, the 17 heart disease daggers or risk factors would be: High bad cholesterol (LDL), low HDL (the good stuff), high Triglycerides. Let’s see. Number four. High sugar or diabetes, right? Then, we have inflammation, low testosterone, high estrogen, high fibrinogen, high homocysteine, low Vitamin D, low Vitamin K2, low amounts of Omega-3 oils, low what’s called PON1. PON1. It’s an enzyme that prevents oxidization of fat. So, low PON1. High blood pressure, lots of belly fat, smoking and then, lastly, of course, if you already have a history. Either a family history—first degree relative--or your own person history of heart disease. Those are the 17 heart disease risk factors. So, I had to look that up myself. Go to LifeExtension.com for the awesome image with the daggers. Okay.
Question number 3. How am I doing on time? I think I’m okay. Alright.
Question number 3. Because these next two questions are kind of long. So, this next one I had to have some help in answering this. You know, I have a whole staff of health advisors at Life Extension that can help me at times. So, the question was: “Will adding butter to my morning coffee really cut food cravings later in the day?” So, there is a movement, I guess, in the health and nutrition world of adding butter and, I think, maybe coconut oil--what’s called a medium chain triglyceride oil like coconut oil--to coffee and I just went blank on the name of it. Bulletproof coffee. Have you heard of that before? Bulletproof coffee. So, you take your morning coffee, which I like black, so I can’t imagine adding organic butter. That’s what it says here. “Organic butter” and coconut oil to it. But, apparently it does taste pretty good from what I understand. I even had some health advisors try it and they said it was pretty awesome. So, let’s go to the question. “Will adding butter to my morning coffee,” basically creating this Bulletproof coffee, “Will it cut my food cravings later in the day?” And, the answer I got from the health advisors here at Life Extension was “maybe”. It will boost energy levels if you’re on a ketogenic diet where you have a lot of low carbs, higher fat. Large amounts of fat should effectively kill the appetite for many hours, especially for people who are ketoadapted and used to eating a low carb/high fat diet. This could also provide plenty of energy by elevating ketone levels in the blood which then become available as fuel for the brain. Again, it’s called “bulletproof coffee”. I’m reading this right from our awesome health advisors at Life Extension. Fat plus coconut oil plus coffee. Bulletproof coffee. It’s important to keep in mind that everything in nutrition depends on dosage and context. Just because a little bit of something is healthy, it doesn’t mean that a whole ton of it is healthy or healthier or even safe. One expert compared her egg breakfast with fruit to bulletproof coffee and concluded that if you’re used to eating three meals per day, then replacing breakfast with bulletproof coffee will reduce the total nutrient load of your diet by a third because you’re just basically gaining fat. Right? You’re getting a lot of fat which may cut appetite, but you’re missing out on nutrition. I think it’s irresponsible for me to support anything that cuts away from a balanced diet and supplement approach. I mean, that’s just the truth of it.
So, can you do this on occasion? Probably. I don’t know why you would want to do it on occasion. But, doing this every day, I just don’t know if it’s necessary and it would worry me that you’re going to get full. You’re going to get full on fat and you’re going to be missing the nutrition, especially at breakfast when most people drink coffee. And that’s when you need a good meal--a good balanced meal at breakfast. So, will it cut food cravings? Yes. Fat will do that, but it may not be the best way to do it.
