Welcome to the Siim Land podcast. I’m your host Siim Land and our guest today is Dr Deanna Minich. Deanna is a nutrition scientist, author, and certified functional medicine practitioner. She serves as the Chief Science Officer at Symphony Natural Health, which offers the world’s first plant melatonin made of phyto-melatonin. Herbatonin has been demonstrated to have 470% stronger antioxidant properties and 640% greater anti-inflammatory effect than synthetic melatonin[i]. Herbatonin is my go-to melatonin for better sleep and the longevity benefits of melatonin. Melatonin is the most powerful anti-aging hormone your body has. To try out Herbatonin, head over to symphonynaturalhealth.com and use the code SIIM10 for a 10% discount.
