A few months ago, I received a special package from Australia with some of the most unique and inventive supplement formulations I’ve seen in quite some time, particularly when it comes to healing the gut or fixing problematic digestive issues. The guy who sent them to me, today’s podcast guest Kyal Van Der Leest, is founder of LVLUP Health, a new-to-the-scene supplement company that has created a range of cutting-edge supplements using powerful ingredients that most people would not have heard of before. All the formulations were created in an attempt to reduce the multiple 6-12 products you might need to take for a health goal and simplify it down to an all-in-one product for every body system. LVLUP Health was founded by Kyal - a Nutritionist, Naturopath, Functional Health Coach, turned formulator - because of his own health challenges. He had many family members with severe health challenges, he became frustrated with the lack of quality products in southern hemisphere and the difficulty and cost of sourcing supplements from overseas. So, he decided to create his own supplement brand and formulate his own products using a unique combination of ingredients fusing and bridging functional medicine with naturopathy and nutrition. He founded LVLUP Health to create the products he wishes he could have used and suggested when he worked in clinic and in a supplement store and used in his own health journey. LVLUP Health's products are formulated with the best oral bioavailable peptides, naturopathic botanicals, and nutritional supplement ingredients.

If we look back at the last 200 years, we can see that human evolution was not designed to deal with the drugs, chemicals, and pollutants that are part of the modern day world. This is why it is so important to support liver health for our overall well-being.   The liver is basically our processing plant for toxins. And it all comes back to gut health - when we have negative bacteria in our gut, that directly affects our liver detoxification pathways.   I’m joined by Kyal Van Der Leest, founder of LVLUP Health. We’re discussing everything you need to know about how to optimize your liver health, and how it connects to the health of your gut. We also dive into the skin issues that can arise from the body releasing toxins, and how if your detox pathways aren't optimized, your skin is ultimately not going to look as good as it could.   Kyal Van Der Leest is a nutritionist, naturopath, and functional health coach turned formulator who now runs LVLUP Health. He founded LVLUP Health to create powerful cutting edge supplement tools that people could use to improve their health using the unique formulations that combine orally bioavailable peptides with naturopathic botanicals and nutritional supplement ingredients.    What we discuss: 00:02:29 - Why all health begins in the gut  00:04:35 - The different phases of detoxification  00:11:25 - Are detox products beneficial?  00:19:58 - The Complete Liver Complex 00:26:24 - How TUDCA works 00:33:29 - How releasing toxins can result in skin issues  00:40:44 - How AHK supports the culture networks of the skin 00:44:00 - Botox-like peptides  00:50:21 - How Botox can have an effect on your liver  01:02:28 - How the peptide Svetinorm is beneficial for the liver  Key Takeaways: Svetinorm is a bio-regulator peptide that has beneficial effects on the liver, such as supporting protein synthesis. When we have negative bacteria in our gut, that directly affects our liver detoxification pathways. By focusing on optimizing the health of our gut, we can lift some of the burden being put on our liver, and help support the detoxification process. By supporting gut health, you will indirectly support skin health, too. If you don't have the inflammation from the gut, then you're less likely to be inflamed in the skin.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 Find more from Kyal Van Der Leest: Website: www.lvluphealth.com Instagram: @lvluphealth Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: LVLUPHealth: To save 10% off any order use code NAT10 at LVLUPhealth.com Primeadine: Use promo code BIONAT15 to save 15% off your first order at https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement BiOptimizers: Use code HUMANPERFORMANCE10 at checkout to save 10% at https://bioptimizers.com/ Berkeley Life: Register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com
