Welcome to the Magical World of Redox Signaling
I am Ricardo Wilkins, Author of, "Life's Biohack: The Health Secrets of Redox Signaling Revealed, and an ASEA distributor.
By educating and partnering with advancing practitioners worldwide, together we can make an impact for their future by bringing ASEA's exclusive Redox technology to market across the globe.
Every other Thursday I interview a health or fitness professional on their personal and professional experience with ASEA's Redox Signaling technology.
Today we are joined by Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner Heidi Jo Rickard.
The Exploding Field of Redox Biochemistry and ASEA's Role in it:
If you're new to this world of Redox, in 1997 the first Redox Signaling molecule, hidden within the cell was discovered. By 1998, the minds behind the discovery won a Nobel Prize, their work heralding a new dawn in medicine. Since 1998 universities worldwide have been racing to decode and harness Redox Signaling molecules because they affect every system, organ, function, and cell in the body.
In 2008, Verdis Norton, a retired corporate executive purchased the patents and research of a fledging publically-traded biotech company located in Layton, Utah. This corporation developed a mysterious solution being studied by UCLA, Harvard, and more. Later, Verdis hired a team of scientists who solved the key to this mysterious solution, learning it was a natural balance of Redox molecules.
After turning a Big Pharma buyout offer in 2009, Verdis launched ASEA LLC. They own the only technology in the world that can regenerate stabilized Redox Signaling stabilized outside of the body so now we can directly restore the root of vitality for holistic well-being.

1.???? What led you to become a holistic health and nutrition expert?
2.???? As a nutrition expert, how do you support your clients?
My healing path started when I was 19. I received a phone call as a follow up from a doctor’s visit. The voice on the other end let me know that I had pre-cancer cells and needed a procedure. I was devastated. The nurse could tell that I was taken back and said, “well it’s not like it is cancer, it is pre-cancer.” I was thinking, well pre is what happens before the actual event. I researched many natural ways to cure cancer and used herbal remedies as a follow-up for a short while. A few years later, it came back and I had to have another procedure. At that time, I decided that my lifestyle needed to be healthier and what I was doing wasn’t working. I had been a vegetarian for 10 years, eating a low fat and high-grain diet, which was recommended as being healthy at the time. I was taking health supplements from the store. So why was I sick and getting diseases?
I have always struggled with health issues. From an early age I was always sick. I had the measles, mumps and chickenpox. Every year, I had tonsillitis and ear infections, in addition to the flu and colds. My eczema skin issues dated back as far as I can remember. Every dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. As a child, I asked one doctor why he didn’t just fix the insides of me. He just laughed and handed me the topical ointment. I had allergy shots and antibiotics on a regular basis. My allergies were so bad that I used to hold my breath down any patch of road that had scotchbroom. The grass gave me hives and flowers made me sneeze. My parents spent a small fortune on antibiotics and mercury dental fillings. By my mid 20s I developed an auto-immunity called vitiligo. I saw the top specialist in the world, in London, who said that my condition was incurable.
For the next decade, my health declined. This did not make sense, I was doing so many things right. I gained weight, even though I exercised regularly. My hands started to shake and my heart had palpitations. I was losing my hair, my memory started to fail me. Why was I losing control over my body? This was so frustrating! My friend suggested nutritional healing. This helped tremendously and I have had such great results! I tried so many different ways in the past and this one worked. It was a wonderful, natural style of changing health habits and taking high-quality, professional-grade supplements and a new way of eating. The best part, is that this style determined how my body wanted to heal in the order that it wanted to heal. It was incredible! This led me to further my schooling in nutrition, muscle testing, and genetic analysis. I have devoted my life to helping others in the way that has helped me.
Ricardo: If someone wants to eat better and diet, what are some foods and habits you would recommend?
Heidi: In my training with The Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), we advocate for a holistic approach to nutrition that focuses on whole foods and personalized dietary strategies to support optimal health.
Emphasize Whole Foods: Prioritize foods that are minimally processed and closest to their natural state. This includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and nuts and seeds.
Balance Macronutrients: Aim for a balanced intake of macronutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, tailored to individual needs. Focus on incorporating high-quality sources of each macronutrient into meals and snacks.
Prioritize Nutrient Density: Choose foods that are nutrient-dense, meaning they provide a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds relative to their calorie content. Examples include leafy greens, berries, wild-caught fish, and nuts and seeds.
Support Digestive Health: Incorporate foods that support digestive health, such as fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, fermented foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, and bone broth. These foods can help promote a healthy gut microbiome and improve nutrient absorption.
Consider Individual Needs: Recognize that dietary needs can vary greatly among individuals based on factors such as age, gender, activity level, and health status. Tailor dietary recommendations to meet individual needs and preferences.

Address Food Sensitivities: Identify and address any food sensitivities or intolerances that may be contributing to symptoms or health issues. This may involve eliminating common trigger foods and gradually reintroducing them to identify problematic foods.
?Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support overall health. Herbal teas and infused water can also contribute to hydration while providing additional health benefits.
Practice Mindful Eating: Cultivate mindful eating habits by paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, eating slowly, and savoring each bite. This can help promote better digestion and satisfaction with meals.
Limit Processed Foods: Minimize consumption of highly processed foods that are high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives. Instead, focus on whole, nutrient-dense options whenever possible.
Seek Professional Guidance: Consider working with a qualified nutritional therapist or healthcare provider who can provide personalized dietary recommendations and support based on individual health goals and needs.
Ricardo: How did you learn about Redox Signaling and what propelled you to say yes to learning more?
Heidi: I had a car accident almost 10 years ago. At first, my symptoms were minimal, but as months turned into years, they escalated to mini-strokes and constant migraines. Despite trying various nutritional therapies, chiropractic treatments, acupuncture and numerous alternative methods, my symptoms persisted. Feeling at my end, I asked God for an answer. It was then that Lynn, like an angel, appeared in my life and introduced me to ASEA Redox and Renu Gel.
Ricardo: What did ASEA’s Redox Signaling compound do for you and your health?
Heidi: I have experienced firsthand the benefits of ASEA Redox. It works by replenishing the body with signaling molecules, which supports cellular function in so many ways like boosting immunity, promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation. My migraines and mini-strokes stopped! Not only have I experienced these miracles, I have also lost about 20 pounds and sleep peacefully through the night.
Ricardo: Being a nutrition expert, can you explain how the Redox Signaling molecules in ASEA’s products differ from nutrition supplements?
?Heidi: ASEA Redox is different from traditional supplements because it contains redox signaling molecules. Signaling molecules help cells and tissues talk to each other, making sure they work well and can handle life’s challenges inside and outside the body. This communication keeps the body balanced. By passing messages and organizing reactions, these molecules make sure cells and tissues can do their jobs effectively. Typical supplements provide nutrients like vitamins and minerals that feed the blood, bones and tissues. ASEA Redox signaling molecules focus on supporting cellular function in the actions to utilize these nutrients.
Ricardo: Have you shared ASEA with anyone who has benefited?
?Heidi: I am excited to share this with everyone! As people age, their body does not create as many redox molecules. When this occurs, individuals may begin to experience the effects of aging or injury. One of my clients is using the ASEA Redox to support a degenerative loss of eyesight. Another client who had high blood pressure is seeing results from using ASEA Redox.
Ricardo: If someone wanted to learn more about ASEA and Redox Signaling, how would you recommend they do that?
Heidi: While the concept of signaling molecules has been around for over a century, the actual discovery of the first signaling molecule did not occur until 1997. The researchers with the breakthrough proof received the Nobel Prize in Medicine the following year. This marks a relatively recent breakthrough in science, characterized by rigorous proof and continuous advancements. Utilizing cutting-edge science like this does not require one to be a Nobel Prize-winning scientist! Although the concept can be complex, ASEA has simplified its application. There is a wealth of evidence and ongoing breakthroughs in reliable sources of peer-reviewed research on signaling molecules. When considering information about ASEA Redox, it is important to keep in mind the concept and the significant discovery regarding signaling molecules. For further information, explore peer-reviewed research, books and YouTube videos by credible authors, doctors and scientists. Happy learning!"
Ricardo: What is next for you in the world of health and wellness?
?Heidi: As I continue to share this amazing product, ASEA Redox Signaling molecules, this allows me to support my clients with less supplementation. People require fewer supplements when their bodies efficiently utilize and absorb nutrients better.
My continued dedication is to nourish and revive my clients in their health journey. Through education, innovation and personalized support, I have created a model of holistic, all-encompassing health care. This unique program created a paradigm shift in the way people think. I teach and show my clients how the body can heal itself and show them how to effectively take care of themselves and their loved ones.

11 个月Nutrition provides the essential building blocks for health, offering the macronutrients and micronutrients necessary for cellular function and maintenance. In contrast, redox signaling supplements like ASEA aim to enhance cellular communication and repair processes through the supplementation of redox signaling molecules. These molecules are vital for the regulation of cellular mechanisms, including immune defense and the repair of cellular damage. As the body ages or undergoes stress, its ability to produce these molecules may decline, potentially leading to decreased cellular efficiency and health issues. The synergy between adequate nutrition and optimal redox signaling involves a complementary relationship where nutrition supplies the raw materials for cellular health, and redox signaling molecules facilitate better communication and functioning of these cellular processes. Together, they support overall health by ensuring efficient cellular operation and the effective use of nutrients, thereby promoting immune function, controlling inflammation, and enhancing various other aspects of wellness.

11 个月Heidi has a well-balanced approach to better health. I guess that's why they call it holistic health. ?? Redox signaling will help but be much more effective when the body is given the rest of what it needs regarding good nutrition. We hear it all the time, but the information Heidi shared was well-structured and understandable. Thanks for sharing, Ricardo Wilkins.
