EP 17: How to Build a Life That Loves Your Heart Back

Marie Grace Berg on February 24, 2025

“Your heart is the engine of your body. Don’t wait for warning signs.” – Steve Adams

Your heart is like the engine of your body—working tirelessly to keep you going. But just like a car, it needs regular care and maintenance to run smoothly. Without it, small problems can turn into big breakdowns.
The truth is, heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. But here’s the good news: most heart attacks are preventable. With the right tools, knowledge, and lifestyle changes, you can take control of your heart health and live a longer, healthier life.


In this blog, we’ll explore simple lifestyle changes, cutting-edge tools like Glycocheck Screening, and powerful supplements like Revasca to help you protect your heart. Let’s dive in.

What Causes Heart Disease?

Heart disease doesn’t happen overnight—it builds up over time. Think of it like weeds growing in a garden. Once they take root, they can spread and choke the life out of the plants (your heart and blood vessels).

Here’s how it happens:

  • Damage to blood vessels: High cholesterol, high blood pressure, or inflammation can damage the walls of your blood vessels.
  • Plaque buildup: Over time, fatty deposits (plaque) can build up in these damaged areas, narrowing your blood vessels and reducing blood flow.
  • Heart attack or stroke: If a plaque ruptures or a blood clot forms, it can block blood flow to your heart or brain, leading to a heart attack or stroke.

But it’s not just about what you eat or how active you are—your genetics also play a role. Some people inherit genes that make them more likely to develop heart disease. The good news? Your lifestyle choices can influence how those genes behave.

Why Early Detection Is Key

Let’s talk about Jessica, one of our customers at Nassau Health Foods. Jessica thought she was healthy—she ate organic, exercised, and cared for her family. But she often felt tired and didn’t know why.

When Jessica tried Glycocheck Screening, she discovered early warning signs of poor microvascular health. With this knowledge, she made small changes to her lifestyle and started taking Revasca supplements. Today, she feels more energetic and confident about her heart health.

Jessica’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of early detection.

Most traditional tests, like cholesterol or blood pressure checks, don’t catch early signs of heart disease. That’s because they don’t look at your microvascular system—the tiny blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout your body. Damage to these vessels can happen long before symptoms appear.

That’s where Glycocheck Screening comes in:

  • Non-invasive and painless: No needles, just a quick and easy test.
  • Deep insights: Measures the health of your microvascular system, detecting early signs of damage.
  • Actionable results: Helps you create a personalized plan to improve your heart health.

The Role of Inflammation in Heart Disease

Inflammation plays a major role in heart disease. It’s your body’s way of protecting itself when it’s injured, but chronic inflammation can damage your blood vessels and lead to plaque buildup.

Think of your blood vessels like pipes. Inflammation acts like rust, slowly eating away at the inside of the pipes until they’re weak and clogged.

Here’s how you can reduce inflammation:

  • Eat anti-inflammatory foods: Fill your plate with leafy greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish like salmon. Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks.
  • Manage stress: Try mindfulness, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to keep stress levels under control.
  • Take supplements like Revasca: Revasca is designed to reduce inflammation and support blood vessel health, giving your heart the care it needs.

5 Small Lifestyle Changes for a Healthier Heart

Taking care of your heart doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference.

1. Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet

Focus on organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like avocado and olive oil. Avoid processed foods, trans fats, and excess sugar.

2. Stay Active

Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. Walking, swimming, or yoga are great options to keep your heart strong.

3. Manage Stress

Chronic stress can raise your blood pressure and increase inflammation. Practice mindfulness, journaling, or meditation to stay calm and centered.

4. Get Quality Sleep

Poor sleep can raise your risk of heart disease. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to give your body time to recover and repair.

5. Stay Proactive with Tests Like Glycocheck

Regular check-ups and advanced tests like Glycocheck Screening can help you catch early warning signs before they become serious.

Revasca: Your Heart’s Daily Boost

Supplements can play a big role in supporting your heart health. That’s why we recommend Revasca Heart Supplements.

Revasca offers powerful benefits for your heart:

  • Improves blood flow: Supports healthy circulation, like clearing traffic on a busy highway.
  • Reduces inflammation: Keeps blood vessels flexible and strong.
  • Strengthens your cardiovascular system: Provides key nutrients to support long-term heart health.

Think of Revasca as a daily tune-up for your heart. It’s an easy addition to your routine that can help you stay proactive about your health.

EP 08: Your Natural Path to Brain Wellness

Marie Grace Berg on December 23, 2024

Picture this: You’re standing in your kitchen, staring at the grocery list in your hand, but something doesn’t feel quite right. That moment when you can’t remember what you came to get – it’s more than just a simple memory slip. It’s a wake-up call that many of us in the Amelia Island community have experienced.

“Your brain isn’t just a computer – it’s a garden. Every healthy choice you make plants a seed, every positive habit waters the soil, and every day you prioritize your cognitive health, your garden grows stronger. Remember, it’s never too late to start cultivating the mind you want to keep for a lifetime.”


Steve Adams, Nassau Health Foods

The Silent Crisis in Cognitive Health

“While our Amelia Island community offers a peaceful retirement paradise, maintaining cognitive health remains a top priority for many residents,” shares Steve Adams, host of the Nassau Health Food Store Podcast. This paradise we call home holds a secret that many aren’t talking about – the growing concern over cognitive decline.


In today’s fast-paced world, our brains are under constant assault. From processed foods to environmental toxins, from chronic stress to poor sleep habits, we’re facing what Dr. Dale Bredesen calls “the 36 holes in your roof” – a powerful metaphor for the multiple factors contributing to cognitive decline.

The True Cost of Inaction

“Every day you delay making the switch to organic, you’re potentially exposing yourself and your loved ones to harmful pesticides and GMOs,” warns Adams. But it’s not just about organic food. The cost of ignoring brain health is far greater than many realize.


Think of your brain like a premium sports car. You wouldn’t put low-grade fuel in a Ferrari, would you? Yet many of us unconsciously do exactly that with our most precious asset – our brain. The longer we collectively hesitate, the more damage accumulates, silently and steadily.

The Revolutionary Approach to Brain Health

Dr. Bredesen’s groundbreaking research presents a paradigm shift in how we approach cognitive health. Instead of accepting cognitive decline as inevitable, we now understand it as a multi-factorial condition that can be prevented and potentially reversed.

Your Heart’s Journey to Wellness


Your journey to optimal brain health begins with what’s on your plate. The protocol emphasizes:

  • Anti-inflammatory foods
  1. Organic vegetables and fruits
  2. Wild-caught fish rich in omega-3s
  3. Brain-nourishing healthy fats
  • Strategic supplementation
  1. Omega-3 fatty acids for brain structure
  2. B-complex vitamins for energy metabolism
  3. Vitamin D3 for neuroprotection
  4. Curcumin for inflammation support
  5. MCT oil for alternative brain fuel

The KetofLEX 123 Approach

This isn’t just another diet – it’s a brain-optimization strategy that works with your body’s natural rhythms:

  • 12-hour fasting window to promote cellular repair
  • 3 hours between dinner and bedtime for optimal sleep
  • Emphasis on healthy fats and quality proteins
  • Strategic incorporation of low-glycemic vegetables

Your Personal Brain Health Revolution


“Have you ever stood in the grocery aisle overwhelmed by choices, wondering which products are truly good for you and the planet?” This common experience reflects a deeper truth – we all want to make better choices, but the path isn’t always clear.

A Comprehensive Approach

Your brain health journey doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s how to take control:

  1. Detoxification Support
    • Organic detox teas
    • Natural cleaning products
    • Chemical-free personal care items
  2. Lifestyle Optimization
    • Sleep enhancement tools and supplements
    • Stress management through adaptogenic herbs
    • Regular exercise support
    • Meditation and relaxation practices
  3. Professional Guidance
    • Cognitive assessment tools
    • Food sensitivity testing
    • Nutrient level monitoring
    • Toxic exposure screening

Success Stories from Our Community

Mary, a retired teacher from Fernandina Beach, shares: “I was increasingly worried about my memory slips until I discovered this comprehensive approach. After six months of following the protocol, my mental clarity has improved significantly, and I feel more confident than ever.”
John, a local business owner, adds: “The brain-supporting supplements and lifestyle changes have made a remarkable difference in my cognitive performance. I’m sharper, more focused, and feel equipped to prevent future decline.”

Your Next Steps to Optimal Brain Health

The journey to better brain health begins with a single step. As the Nassau Health Food Store team emphasizes, “Your cognitive health is too important to wait.”

Here’s your action plan:

  1. Schedule a comprehensive brain health assessment

EP 07: Beyond Your Genes: The Natural Path to Heart Health on Amelia Island

Marie Grace Berg on December 16, 2024

Have you ever stood at the crossroads of your health journey, watching your family history unfold like an ominous story you can’t escape? Perhaps you’ve witnessed loved ones struggle with heart disease, quietly wondering if their path is destined to become yours.

“Your heart’s destiny isn’t written in your genes — it’s written in your daily choices.”


Steve Adams, Nassau Health Foods

The Genetic Puzzle That Doesn’t Define You

Picture your genes as a deck of cards you’re dealt at birth. While some cards might seem less favorable – like the APOE gene that influences heart disease risk – the beautiful truth is that you’re not just a passive player in this game. You’re the dealer, the player, and most importantly, the one who can change the rules.


“Recent medical advances have shown that genetics play a significant role in heart disease risk. But the good news is that we can take control of our heart health through lifestyle choices and proper nutrition,” shares Steve Adams, host of Nassau Health Food Store Podcast and a passionate advocate for natural health solutions.

The Hidden Threats to Your Heart

Living in paradise doesn’t make us immune to health challenges. Even here on pristine Amelia Island, where ocean breezes carry the promise of wellness, heart disease remains a silent stalker. The modern lifestyle has created a perfect storm of risk factors:

  • High blood pressure creeping up like a tide
  • Cholesterol levels that tell a story of processed convenience
  • Inflammation quietly signaling distress
  • Oxidative stress wearing down our cellular defenses
  • Blood sugar performing its daily dance of extremes

Nature’s Medicine Cabinet: Your Ally in Heart Health

Imagine your heart as a finely tuned instrument, each nutrient playing its part in a symphony of health. Here’s where nature’s wisdom shines through:

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Like skilled firefighters, they rush to reduce inflammation and support healthy cholesterol levels. Wild-caught fish and carefully selected supplements offer these precious compounds.
  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Think of it as your heart’s personal battery pack. As we age, these levels naturally decrease, making supplementation crucial – especially if you’re on statin medications.
  • B-Complex Vitamins: These are the construction workers of heart health, maintaining healthy homocysteine levels and keeping energy production flowing smoothly.

The Island’s Natural Pharmacy


Here on Amelia Island, we’re blessed with access to nature’s bounty. Our local organic produce offers a rainbow of heart-protective compounds:


“Dark leafy greens high in folate, antioxidant-rich berries, heart-healthy citrus fruits, and fiber-rich vegetables – these aren’t just foods, they’re your daily dose of prevention,” explains Adams.

Your Heart’s Journey to Wellness

  • Morning Rituals: Start your day with heart-healthy pantry staples:
  1. Extra virgin olive oil drizzled over whole grain toast
  2. A handful of raw nuts and seeds
  3. A steaming cup of antioxidant-rich green tea
  • Movement as Medicine: Take advantage of our island’s natural gym:
  1. Walking trails that wind through paradise
  2. Biking paths that offer both exercise and scenic beauty
  3. Beach yoga at sunrise
  • Stress Management: Because your emotional heart affects your physical heart:
  1. Embrace adaptogenic herbs
  2. Welcome magnesium’s calming embrace
  3. Find peace in meditation aids

Breaking Free from Genetic Destiny

“Your genetic predisposition to heart disease doesn’t have to define your future,” Adams emphasizes. “With the right knowledge, support, and resources – all available right here on Amelia Island – you can take control of your heart health.”

Consider Sarah, a local resident who discovered her APOE gene variation during routine testing. Instead of letting fear take the wheel, she embraced a natural approach to heart health. Today, her numbers tell a different story – one of empowerment and vibrant health.

Your Next Step Toward Heart Health Mastery


The journey to optimal heart health doesn’t have to be a solo venture. Imagine having a team of certified nutritionists, herbalists, and wellness coaches in your corner, each bringing their expertise to your unique situation.


Don’t let another day pass while genetic fears hold you back. Your heart has been faithfully serving you every second of every day – isn’t it time to return the favor?

EP 05: How Your Microbiome Shapes Your Mind

Marie Grace Berg on December 1, 2024

Have you ever experienced “butterflies” in your stomach before a big presentation? Or felt nauseous during moments of intense anxiety? These aren’t just coincidences – they’re direct manifestations of the profound connection between your gut and your brain. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating frontiers of modern health science: the gut-brain axis.

“Trust your gut” isn’t just an old saying – it’s ancient wisdom backed by modern science. Your intuition lives in the conversation between your mind and your microbiome. When you nourish your gut, you feed your potential. Every mindful meal is an investment in your mental clarity, every peaceful moment a gift to your inner ecosystem. Listen closely – your gut has been trying to tell you something all along.

— Dr. Sarah Chen, Integrative Health Expert

The Hidden Link Between Your Gut and Mental Health: A Deep Dive into the Microbiome

Have you ever experienced “butterflies” in your stomach before a big presentation? Or felt nauseous during moments of intense anxiety? These aren’t just coincidences – they’re direct manifestations of the profound connection between your gut and your brain. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating frontiers of modern health science: the gut-brain axis.

The Second Brain in Your Belly

Imagine your body as a bustling city. While your brain might be the mayor’s office, there’s an equally important control center running operations downtown – your gut. This “second brain” houses an astounding 100 trillion bacteria, creating a complex ecosystem that outnumbers your body’s cells by a ratio of 10 to 1. These microscopic residents aren’t just passive tenants; they’re active participants in your mental and physical wellbeing.


“The gut microbiome functions as an essential organ system, influencing everything from metabolism and immunity to mood and behavior,” explains Dr. David Perlmutter, renowned author of “Brain Maker.” This insight has revolutionized our understanding of mental health and cognitive function.

The Chemical Conversation: How Your Gut Talks to Your Brain

Here’s something that might surprise you: up to 90% of your body’s serotonin – often called the “happiness hormone” – is produced in your gut, not your brain. It’s like having a happiness factory in your belly! But that’s not all. Your gut microbiome is constantly sending messages to your brain through various channels:

  • Neurotransmitter production (including mood-regulating GABA)
  • Inflammatory signaling
  • Immune system modulation
  • Vagus nerve communication

Think of it as a sophisticated text messaging system between two best friends who need to coordinate everything. When this communication system works well, you feel great. When it doesn’t, various issues can arise.

The Mental Health Connection


Like a garden that needs the right balance of nutrients, sunlight, and care to flourish, your gut microbiome requires proper attention to support optimal mental health. Research has shown that gut health plays a crucial role in:

  • Mood Regulation and Emotional Balance Your gut bacteria help produce and regulate neurotransmitters that influence your emotional state. It’s like having a team of tiny chemists working 24/7 to maintain your mental equilibrium.
  • Cognitive Function and Mental Clarity A healthy gut microbiome supports better focus, memory, and overall brain function. Think of it as having a well-oiled engine that powers your mental capabilities.
  • Sleep Quality Your gut bacteria influence your circadian rhythm and sleep patterns, acting like an internal timekeeper for your body’s rest-and-restore cycles.
  • Stress Response A balanced microbiome helps moderate your body’s stress response, acting as a natural buffer against life’s challenges.

Your Path to Better Gut-Brain Health

Now that we understand the importance of this connection, let’s explore practical steps to nurture your gut-brain axis:

1. Dietary Champions for Gut Health

Think of your diet as feeding not just yourself, but your trillion-strong bacterial allies. Focus on:

  • Diverse plant-based foods (create a rainbow on your plate)
  • Fermented foods rich in natural probiotics (yogurt, kefir, kimchi)
  • Prebiotic-rich foods that feed your good bacteria (Jerusalem artichokes, garlic, onions)
  • Minimal processed foods and artificial sweeteners (these can disrupt your gut ecosystem)

2. Lifestyle Practices for Optimal Function

Your gut bacteria thrive when you:

  • Practice stress management through meditation or yoga
  • Get consistent, quality sleep (7-9 hours)
  • Stay well-hydrated throughout the day
  • Engage in regular physical activity
  • Use antibiotics mindfully and only when necessary

3. Strategic Supplementation

Consider these key supplements to support your gut-brain axis:

  • High-quality probiotics (look for multi-strain formulations)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids for brain health
  • B-complex vitamins for energy and neural function

The Science Behind the Solution

Think of your gut health journey as similar to tending a garden. Just as a garden needs diverse plants, proper nutrition, and regular care to thrive, your gut microbiome requires variety, nourishment, and attention to function optimally. When you nurture this internal ecosystem, you’re not just supporting your digestive health – you’re investing in your mental wellbeing.

EP 04: Beating the Heart Attack Gene

Marie Grace Berg on November 25, 2024

Are you playing Russian roulette with your heart health? Imagine having a ticking time bomb in your chest, but instead of being helpless, you hold the detonator – and the power to disarm it. That’s exactly what understanding your genetic predisposition to heart disease can feel like. But here’s the twist: your genes don’t have to be your destiny.

“It’s not about the genes you’re dealt, but how you play your hand.”

Beat the Heart Attack Gene: Your Organic Path to Heart Health Transformation

“Think of your genetic makeup as a roadmap. It shows potential routes your health might take, but you’re still the driver, making choices at every turn,” says Steve Adams, host of Nassau Health Food Store Podcast. This powerful metaphor encapsulates a revolutionary truth about cardiovascular health that’s changing lives across Amelia Island and beyond.
Recent research has unveiled a startling fact: the 9P21 gene can increase your heart attack risk by up to 102%. Let that sink in. That’s like having a loaded gun pointed at your heart – but here’s the good news: you can choose to put the safety on.

Why Your Current Approach Might Be Failing You

Every day, countless Americans follow the same old advice: watch your cholesterol, check your blood pressure, maybe take a daily aspirin. But here’s what your doctor might not be telling you: these traditional approaches barely scratch the surface of heart disease prevention.


Think about it: would you try to navigate a modern city with a map from the 1950s? That’s essentially what you’re doing when you rely solely on conventional heart health wisdom. The landscape of cardiovascular health has evolved dramatically, yet many of us are stuck using outdated guidance.

The Revolutionary Approach That’s Changing Everything

Enter the Bale Doneen method, a groundbreaking approach highlighted in “Beat the Heart Attack Gene.” This isn’t your grandmother’s heart health strategy – it’s a sophisticated, personalized roadmap that considers:

  • Arterial inflammation
  • Insulin resistance
  • Oral health (yes, your dental health is directly linked to heart disease!)
  • Sleep quality
  • Stress levels

“It’s like having a tailor-made suit for your heart health, fitted perfectly to your unique needs and risks,” explains Adams. This personalized approach is revolutionizing how we think about heart disease prevention.

The Organic Solution You’ve Been Missing

Here’s where things get really interesting. Your daily food choices aren’t just about calories or taste – they’re literally reprogramming your genes. This is where the power of organic foods comes into play.


Think of your body as a high-performance car. Sure, it might run on regular gas, but put premium, clean fuel in the tank, and watch how it performs. Organic foods are your body’s premium fuel, helping to:

  • Reduce inflammation naturally
  • Support healthy gene expression
  • Provide clean, untainted nutrients your heart craves
  • Minimize exposure to harmful pesticides and GMOs

The Cost of Waiting

“Every day you delay making the switch to organic, you’re potentially exposing yourself and your loved ones to harmful pesticides and GMOs,” warns Adams. This isn’t just about missing out on better nutrition – it’s about actively choosing a path that could be harming your heart health.


Consider this: if you knew your car’s brake fluid was slowly degrading, would you wait until they failed to replace it? That’s exactly what many of us are doing with our hearts by postponing the switch to organic, whole foods.

Your Path to a Healthier Heart Starts Here

The journey to optimal heart health doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s your action plan:

  • Understand Your Genetic Landscape Start with genetic testing to understand your personal risk factors. Knowledge truly is power when it comes to heart health.
  • Embrace the Power of Organic Make the switch to organic foods gradually but consistently. Your heart will thank you with every beat.
  • Implement the Bale Doneen Method Work with healthcare providers who understand this comprehensive approach to heart health.
  • Monitor and Adjust Remember, health isn’t static – your approach shouldn’t be either.
