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.

Transcription
Bill Klaproth (Host): People with diabetes suffer from high blood sugar levels and over time and left unchecked, it can cause nerve damage and circulation issues and these problems can cause or contribute to foot problems. Here to talk with us more is Dr. Jason Woods, a physician at Schneck Medical Center. Dr. Woods, thank you for your time today. So, what are the effects of diabetes on your feet?
Dr. Jason Woods (Guest): Well, thanks for having me, Bill. I’m happy to talk about this topic as it’s a very important one in our community. As you outlined in your intro there, you know, the big things that we see that affect our diabetic patients are impairment in their nerve function and their vascular system. So, what that means is that their blood glucose is elevated over a long period of time. It starts to impair their ability to feel their feet and, many times, that ends up resulting in significant complications. So, a simple blister or a spot of irritation that somebody without neuropathy would very quickly notice, somebody with neuropathy will kind of ignore that because they don’t feel that feedback of pain. And, those little sores can go on to become infected and complicating their whole situation down there. Additionally, as diabetes progresses over time, their blood flow to their feet becomes impaired. That’s often, initially, manifested with some very subtle color changes to the feet or their feet go cold. But, as time goes on, that can be a significant factor in patients’ ability to heal. So, really, neuropathy and vascular impairment are the two main aspects that result in diabetic foot complications in my practice.
Bill: So, that’s interesting. You don’t feel that there’s a problem down there. You don’t feel the pain. Normally, you would look and go, “Geeze, my…Oh, I’ve got a blister here.” You just you don’t know what’s there and then it gets worse and gets infected and then you said you start feeling the tingling or the numbness. Is that when you know there’s a big problem? When your feet are always cold or you do feel a tingling or a numbness?
Dr. Woods: You know, that’s an interesting observation. Some people with neuropathy, they do feel pain. You know, they feel this tingling. People will describe it as a pins-and-needles type sensation or a cold feeling. And, some people don’t feel that at all and they just go straight to numbness. But, I’d say most people have a mixture of the two. You know, when I test them in the office to see how well they feel, they don’t feel things that they should but yet they have this overriding burning, tingling type sensation on their feet. That’s usually one of the first things we see patients have is this burning, tingling type sensation. So, that definitely throws up a red flag that this whole has process has started and then actually, you know, it progressed quite a bit.
Bill: Right. So, Dr. Woods, and say somebody doesn’t feel something on their foot and sometimes people with diabetes are less flexible and maybe they don’t have the dexterity to check and see the bottom of their feet, so then, they should go see a podiatrist, is that right? Or, how do they check their feet and how do they care for their feet at that point?
Dr. Woods: Well, first of all, if someone has diabetes, current guidelines would be for once a year for them to be seen by a podiatrist. And then, from there, that podiatrist is trained to kind of stratify how often that patient needs to be seen. You know, with more complications associated with their feet, you know, more frequent follow-up may be necessary. But, at least once a year is a good starting point. Every diabetic patient should be performing daily foot inspections of themselves. That does become difficult with age and inflexibility to be able to see the bottoms of your feet. And, if that’s the case, you have a family member check them. A mirror can be a helpful tool in helping you see the bottoms of your feet. So, it is challenging but usually educating people about neuropathy and the fact that you might not feel the problem, so don’t wait until you feel the problem. You know, that’s a big aspect of this and just providing that education to allow people to know what to look for.
Bill: And, what if someone ignores the signs and it gets worse? What are the complications, then, if this goes unchecked?
Dr. Woods: Well, the big complications we see are kind of like I said before. You know, it usually starts with either a blister or a callus or something that initially isn’t too threatening but, as time goes on, they subsequently get an infection. That infection advances. That infection can either may them quite sick or become quite deeply embedded into even the bone. And, once a diabetic patient has infection that deep, it’s very difficult to treat with simply antibiotics and many times surgery is required. And, many times that’s how people end up with you know losing part of their foot or even their whole leg. It’s something simple that just kind of spirals out of control.
Bill: So, that’s spiraling out of control that leads to a really severe infection and that’s where we have heard of people get, unfortunately, getting toes and, you know, even more, their feet amputated. Is that right?
Dr. Woods: Correct.
Bill: So, is there a way to prevent these symptoms? Can somebody do something to kind of ward this off?
Dr. Woods: Sure. And, the tough thing about diabetes is usually day one, when you’re diagnosed with it, it’s not something that makes you terribly. . .Now, some people you know they find out in kind of a shocking manner where they’re you know going to ketoacidosis or something severe, but, most people you know, it’s not a real shocking thing to them. They’re told, “Well, you need to make some lifestyle changes. Change your diet.” And, you know, nothing really grabs their attention. But, the sad thing is after years and years and years of not managing their diabetes effectively is when we see these problems. So, by the time I’m seeing people with these problems, most of the time, we’ve kind of missed the boat. And so, how I would answer that is the best way to prevent the symptoms is when you’re initially told, “Hey, you have diabetes,” or, “You’re prediabetic,” or anything to do with impaired blood sugar, is to take that seriously and to do everything in your power to work with your family physician and managing that blood sugar effectively. The other big thing from my perspective is just daily inspection. At the first sign, if you’ve got a spot on your foot, that is questionable at all, it’s best to have it evaluated by either a family physician or a podiatrist or somebody who is looking out for your best interest.
Bill: Well, that makes sense. Employ the necessary lifestyle changes that a physician has prescribed for you. Like you said, do the daily foot checks. And then, at some point, is there a special kind of foot wear available for those with diabetes?
Dr. Woods: Sure. Absolutely, and that’s a commonly prescribed thing. You know, diabetics, that have foot complications—so, either circulatory problems or neuropathy--would qualify under most insurance plans to get what you call “diabetics shoes”. Diabetic shoes are shoes that are specially designed to have a very soft accommodative insert in the shoe that helps prevent friction and prevent a lot of episodes of blisters and things like that. The shoes themselves are usually what we all extra depth shoes. So, they’re wider, deeper. They can accommodate for deformities that you know a normal off-the-shelf shoe might actually rub the foot. You know, a diabetics shoes less likely to do that. So, yes, diabetic shoes are an important tool in prevention of these sorts of complications that we’re speaking of.
Bill: And, who do those get prescribed to? Are those people that are already having foot complications?
Dr. Woods: Usually, you know, both from a preventative standpoint and people who have had complications. You know, you’ve heard the phrase, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” You know, definitely, we don’t wait for people to get diabetic foot ulcers to prescribe diabetic shoes. People who have risk factors such as abnormal alignment to the foot might make that foot prone to ulcerate, impaired circulation and impaired sensation. You know, those are the type of people that would qualify and we’d want to urge them to get into diabetic shoes before they get a foot ulcer because once they have an ulcer, it’s a different. It’s a much more uphill battle getting one to heal.
Bill: Right. So, before is the key right there. And, wrap it up for us if you would, Dr. Woods. Why should someone choose Schneck for their diabetes and foot care needs?
Dr. Woods: Well, I think we’re very fortunate here at Schneck. We’ve got excellent doctors in all different specialties. We’ve got a great endocrinology service and so management of diabetes at that level, they do a great job with working with patients there. You know, my practice is very busy with patients with these sorts of complications, so I have a lot of experience with that. And so, I feel like, patients, when they come to Schneck for both their diabetic care and their foot care, are in good hands.
Bill: Excellent. Thank you so much, Dr. Woods. I really appreciate your time today. And for more information, visit www.schneckmed.org. That’s www.schneckmed.org. This is Schneck Radio. I’m Bill Klaproth. Thanks for listening.

Guest Bio
Patricia Bragg ND, PhD, is a dynamic speaker and a living, energetic symbol of the healthy lifestyle she teaches. The daughter of a healthy living crusader, her mission is to continue and spread the message of health through natural nutrition. The legendary Bragg family advocates a simple “You are what you eat, drink, breathe, think, say and do” motto.
Patricia’s passion for healthy living comes from her father, Dr. Paul C. Bragg, who opened America’s first Health Food Store in 1912. After surviving the ravages of tuberculosis as a teenager and rebuilding his body, he dedicated his life to showing others the way to vibrant health and wellness. Known as the Father of America’s Health Movement, Dr. Paul C. Bragg pioneered healthy living throughout the 20th century through his promotion of the benefits of purified water, juices, herbal teas and organic foods in the U.S. market. He also kept a steady message to his followers by pioneering Health Radio in the 1920s, with a program that ran three times daily and later a television health show called Health and Happiness. It was a five-day-a- week, half-hour show comprised of exercise time, health recipes and visual demonstrations. The show also featured a guest time where famous people shared their health and happiness secrets with the viewers.
Patricia now continues the legacy of the Bragg Health Crusade that her father started over 100 years ago by tirelessly sharing the precepts her father developed though a series of health and fitness seminars for Women’s, Men’s, Youth and Church Groups throughout the world. She has won international acclaim for her teachings in the health field and has toured the world over 13 times, spreading physical and spiritual health through lectures and thousands of radio, television, and print interviews.
Patricia Bragg has been the health consultant to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including A-list actors Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks. Visionary entrepreneur Steve Jobs, pop star Katy Perry and health and fitness guru Jack LaLanne have also relied on Patricia’s health and nutrition expertise.
Patricia’s library of inspiring self-health books have renewed, rejuvenated, and revitalized the lives of millions worldwide by supporting a change with self-improvement. Her best-selling book, Apple Cider Vinegar-Miracle Health System, has sold in excess of nine million copies to date.
Bragg Live Food Products turned 100 years old in 2012! What started as a small health store in Los Angeles has become a leading international health products company. Over the last 103 years, Bragg has produced more than 365 different products - “one for each day of the year,” says Patricia Bragg.
Today, Bragg has refined that number to over 20 different signature health food products and 10 self-health books. They remain bestsellers, are used by millions around the world, and have been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz and Anderson Cooper.
Patricia’s signature products include Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey blend, 7 All Natural Drinks; Bragg Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil; Bragg Liquid Aminos; three different Bragg Organic Seasonings; and six different Salad Dressings and Marinades. All the Bragg products provide many internal and external health benefits & have been recognized as the best in the industry.
The Bragg Vision for the future is exciting! Continuing on the Bragg Legacy and Crusade, Bragg Live Food Products is developing a one hundred twenty-acre organic farm on the outskirts of Santa Barbara, California. The property is in the process of being modeled into an incredible Organic Teaching Farm & Center, called the Bragg Health Institute, with facilities to both educate and instruct the values of growing and eating organics.
The Bragg Health Institute was inspired in part by an educational program called “Bring a Farmer to School,” in which Dr. Patricia Bragg, Dr. John Westerdahl, Bragg Director of Health Science, and Bragg’s Organic Farmer were invited to speak to children at the local elementary schools. The focus of the education outreach is to teach children about the importance of eating more organic fruits and vegetables, and how organic farming plays an important role in environmentally - friendly, healthy plant foods. Last year the Bragg Health Institute donated thousands of organic apples to the local school districts which were grown on the Bragg Organic Farm. - Length (mins) 26:56
