May 13th, 2025 marks the five year anniversary of Wend Wellness and final daily Wend Wellness video.

Every day for five years I either researched a new topic and shared what I learned, or yelled at you like a psycho to get you up off your couch and do some push-ups.

I did my best to motivate you to change your body, mind, and spirit in a manner that was genuine, comprehensible, and fun.

On average, the videos required about ninety minutes daily, from researching and finding a topic to committing it to memory and presenting it.

This adds up to a total of over 2,700 hours of time well spent, with the number of positive anecdotes I received being too great and too rewarding to quantify.

This time will now be dedicated to those whom I am fortunate enough to treat in my practice, train in the gym, and coach through their journey to better health and happiness.

This isn’t the end of Wend Wellness, just a new beginning, and I couldn’t be more excited to grow with those who I am blessed enough to encounter.

We’ll now be doing a live video every Wednesday. Hopefully you look forward to “Wend Wellness Wednesday” as much as I do, but more importantly, afterwards, hopefully you find yourself in a better place than before.

I’ve enjoyed doing Wend Wellness every step of the way and am honored to have helped any of you achieve more for yourselves.

We will continue to grow together, and one day change the world to be a healthier and happier place.

With much gratitude and excitement for the future, I’ll see you next Wednesday!

Go do something great for yourself.

-Sincerely yours,
Shane

A recent study conducted at the State University of Campinas in Brazil investigated the process of muscle pain chronicity. They identified one of the mechanisms by which exercise prevents the transition from acute to chronic pain, protecting the body from inflammation and persistent pain.

Activation of the P2X4 signaling pathway in macrophages triggers the chronicity of inflammatory muscle pain.

Exercise prevents activation of this pathway, hence helping to prevent acute muscle pain from becoming chronic.

In general, exercise reduces pain by:
* Promoting the release of happy chemicals like endorphins & serotonin and improving mood.
* Improving circulation.
* Reducing inflammation.
* Building muscle strength to reduce pressure on joints.
* Enhancing joint lubrication.

General Joint structure
From internal to external a joint typically contains:
- Articulate cartilage surfacing the articulating bones.
- Synovial fluid.
- Synovial membrane.
- Joint capsule.
- Ligaments.
- Tendons.

How is synovial fluid produced?
Synovial fluid is produced when ultrafiltrate (primarily composed of collagen, hyaluronic acid, lubricin, & prostaglandins) produced by blood vessels lining the joint capsule, is pushed through the synovial membrane into the joint.

Synovial fluid lubricates and nourishes the articulate cartilage.

Exercise improves movement and circulation of synovial fluid within the joint. This lubricates the joints, enhances nutrient delivery, & waste removal, improving overall joint health.

Sorghum, also known as Milo, is a cereal grain in the grass family.

Quinoa is a flowering plant seed in the amaranth family. It is a pseudograin, since it is cooked and eaten like a grain.

Sorghum is higher in carbs due to its high starch content, but has more protein and iron than quinoa, albeit it’s incomplete protein and both contain non-heme iron which isn’t well absorbed anyway.

In 1 cup…

No Banana in Your Berry Smoothie

A recent study published in Food and Function showed that bananas reduce the absorption of flavanols by as much as 84% when combined with flavanol-rich fruits such as berries.

Flavanols are a subclass of polyphenols and are great for your brain and heart.

Bananas have very high concentrations of the enzyme polyphenol oxidase, which reduces the bioavailability of polyphenols, such as flavanols, significantly. This enzyme, responsible for the browning that occurs when fruits are cut or bruised, is found in many fruits and vegetables but is especially abundant in bananas.

The academy of nutrition and dietetics recommends a daily intake of 400-600mg.

A lack of flavanols, especially in the elderly, has been linked to poor cardiovascular function and cognitive decline.

Flavanols are abundant in foods like blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cocoa, apples, & pears.

~250 mg flavanols in 8 oz pack blackberries and ~200 mg flavanols in an 11 oz pack of blueberries.

Combining these flavanols-rich foods with foods that have low polyphenol oxidase activity such as mangoes, oranges, pineapple, or yogurt would preserve the absorption of the flavanols.

Meta analysis involving ~67,000 women showed that following a vegan diet during pregnancy was associated with 171% higher odds of having a child that was small for the gestational age, AKA a birth weight below the 10th percentile.

Why might this be?
Could be lower calorie intake, protein, omega-3s, iron, or B12 for example.

Further, plant-based foods don’t have a lot of zinc or vitamin D3. This, not to mention they contain phytates, which bind to minerals like iron, zinc, or calcium, and reduce their absorption.

A recent Randomized Crossover Trial involving 12 kickboxers showed that 2.72 mg/lb of caffeine was no more effective than 1.36 mg/lb for improving performance.

This goes in line with previous research, which recommends athletes ingest anywhere from 1.36 mg/lb - 2.72 mg/lb of caffeine to improve exercise performance.

These results are useful however, since excessive caffeine consumption can disrupt sleep quality.

This is one reason I opted to include the specific amount found in Super U.

Further, 1.36 mg/lb is the recommended dosage to ensure lipolysis occurs based on research. Hence, Super U should enhance fat burning in a 239 lb person.

~28% of the US population weighs over 200 lbs and ~9% of the US population weighs over 300 lbs, so it’s likely that more than 4/5 people in the US who take Super U should reap the lipolytic effect.

How much Vitamin D for Depression?

A recent meta analysis of 31 RCTs showed that vitamin D3 reduced depressive symptoms in a dose dependent manner, but only in those who were depressed and/or deficient and only in trials lasting 2 years or less.

5000 IU showed 3x the effect of 1000 IU and the most promise (8000 IU showed more benefit, but diminishing returns above 5000 IU).

5000 IU is good since more than 4000 IU/day for over 6 months may increase fall risk in older adults.

No effect was found in those with vitamin D levels already above 30 ng/dl.

Top options for mood & depression as of 3/6/25:
Primary: Omega-3 & saffron
Secondary: Light therapy, St. John’s wort, Vitamin D

How you look | How you feel | How you perform — three parameters I prioritize.

I eat only whole food from nature, drink predominantly water, and take only fully natural supplements without any artificial sweeteners or dyes.

Although I rely on food first, I take one supplement: Super U.

Super U gives me sustained energy and focus with ingredients extracted from whole foods. I formulated it over 4 years and back it with research you can tap into via WendWellness.com.

I take Super U every day — be your product. Be Super You.

Exercise for memory

According to a meta review published in the journal *Translational Sports Medicine*, engaging in aerobic exercise for as little as 2 minutes at moderate-high intensity improves attention, concentration, and memory for up to two hours.

A study published in *Psychology of Sport and Exercise* found that exercise **after** learning significantly improves memory recall and attention.

Another study in the *Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health* found that just 6–10 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise significantly improves memory recall and higher-level cognitive skills like planning and prioritization.

**Duration matters** — more exercise leads to greater memory benefits, up to a point. Exercising 40 minutes 3x/week increased hippocampal volume by 2%.

**How it works:**
- BDNF
- Blood flow
- Neurotransmitters
- Stress hormone reduction

Tart Cherry for Recovery

**Top supps for muscle gain and performance (as of 2/10/25):**
- **Primary**: Creatine, Caffeine, Carbs, Beta-alanine, Protein
- **Secondary**: Citrulline, Nitrates, BCAAs, Sodium Bicarbonate
- **Promising**: Ashwagandha, Taurine, Tart Cherry

Tart cherry is rich in anthocyanins (antioxidant + anti-inflammatory).
It reduces soreness and inflammation, speeds recovery, and helps regain strength & power.

- Medium effect on soreness (resistance training)
- Large effect on CRP (endurance exercise)
- Large effect on recovery (jump height)

**Summary:**
Tart cherry improves short-term recovery. Useful before/after unfamiliar or high-volume training, or when fast recovery is needed.

**Dosage:**
- 8–12 oz juice (2x/day) or 1 oz concentrate (2x/day)
- Take at least 4 days before event, 2 hours before, and 2 days after

Vitamin K2 for Leg Cramps?😲

Study Summary:
RCT involving ~200 adults with leg cramps found that taking 180 mcg of Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) every night reduced the frequency of leg cramps significantly compared to placebo over 2 months.

Reference:
Tan J, et al. JAMA Intern Med. 2024 Dec 1;184(12):1443-1447. doi: 10.1001/jamainternmed.2024.5726.

The big picture:
Nocturnal leg cramps affect over 50% of people. The cause is not well understood. Hydration and magnesium have limited proven effect. Vitamin K2 supports VKDPs which help calcium utilization in muscles and bones. Accidental discovery during arterial calcification studies led to this finding.

Study shows fiber influences epigenetic changes to cells via SCFA production, namely butyrate & propionate, regulating cell growth, differentiation, & apoptosis — key factors in cancer prevention.

(Reference: Stanford Study on Fiber & Cancer)

Beta-glucans bind directly to receptors on macrophages, dendritic cells (antigen-presenting cells), & natural killer cells, activating the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells.

Tricholoma portentosum & graviola (soursop) also shown to kill cancer cells.

Environmental influences cause 90% of cancer deaths.
Less than 1% of people have specific genetic mutations that lead to cancer.

14% of all death worldwide per year due to cancer.
25% of all cancer deaths due to tobacco use.
10% of all cancer deaths due to lifestyle, obesity, alcohol use.

To help avoid cancer, in simple:
Maintain a healthy weight and diet
Avoid tobacco & alcohol

Meta analysis of 20 RCTs showed that diets which contain higher amounts of beef generally didn’t have different effects on blood lipids than diets that contained either low amounts of beef or no beef.

Note however, that numerous studies have highlighted the fact that replacing red meat with plant based protein can meaningfully improve blood lipid levels.

The classic consensus has been that red meat elevates LDL-C, which in turn may contribute to heart disease. However, more recent reviews of the current literature have shown that elevated LDL-C does not cause heart disease.

Study observed molecular changes in around 3000 proteins in the blood before, during, and after a 7-day fast (only water).

Participants lost 12.5 lbs of fat/lean mass; lean mass returned post-fast, fat mass stayed off.

Over 33% of proteins measured changed significantly across all major organs—proof that fasting benefits extend beyond weight loss, especially after 3+ days.

This emphasizes a fitness-focused approach to health over weight loss.

New study had 103 people record their sunlight exposure and sleep quality over 70 days.

After accounting for other factors that may affect sleep quality and duration, the results showed that those who exposed themselves to sunlight in the morning had the greatest positive effect on sleep quality and duration.

Interestingly, the timing of sun exposure had a greater impact on sleep than the total daily amount of sun exposure.

This shows how morning sunlight positively regulates our circadian rhythm.

FDA bans phenylephrine from every single cough, cold, allergy, bronchodilator, anti-asthmatic drug, affecting roughly 80% of oral decongestants on the market.

Products such as Advil sinus congestion & pain, Vicks NyQuil & DayQuil, Sudafed nasal decongestant, Tylenol cold & flu, will soon be asked to withdraw their products.

This, due to a lack of proven effectiveness in clinical trials, as it has failed to outperform placebo time and time again regardless of dosage.

This order only goes for oral decongestants, not nasal sprays or eye drops (since phenylephrine has been deemed ineffective only when administered orally).

B cells, which produce antibodies, and T cells, which help fight infection, are produced in the bone marrow.

While B cells fully mature in the bone marrow, T cells travel to the thymus to mature, where they learn to recognize foreign cells vs the body’s own cells.

Vitamin D deficiency hinders the growth of the thymus and causes it to age faster.
This renders the T cells in the thymus less effective at recognizing foreign cells vs our own cells, which may trigger the development of autoimmune conditions such type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The most important “T cell training” done in the thymus occurs up to age 20, and so vitamin D is especially crucial for children in such a regard.

Richest natural sources of Vitamin D:
- Sunlight is #1 by far (aim for 5-30 minutes a day depending on latitude, UV index, etc.)
- Fatty fish
- Fish liver oils
- UV-treated Mushrooms

Yet another study confirms the link between gut health and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Animal studies have demonstrated that Alzheimer’s can be passed onto mice through a transfer of gut microbes, confirming the link between the health of one’s digestive system and brain.

A 2023 study showed people with greater gut inflammation have higher levels of amyloid plaque accumulation in their brain.

Higher levels of fecal calprotectin are associated with increased levels of Alzheimer’s biomarkers and poorer memory test scores.

How much Melatonin is Best?

New study:
Meta-analysis of 26 RCTs (~1700 adults) found that 3 mg of melatonin taken 3 hours before bed is optimal for improving sleep quality & latency.

General advice for better sleep:
• Consistent sleep schedule
• Set aside enough time for sleep
• Avoid blue light 1 hour before bed
• Exercise before bed may help
• Small meal before bed is fine if you're used to it
• Cold room (≤ 68°F)
• No alcohol or caffeine late in day

Helpful supplements:
• Lavender: 80–160 mg (Silexan)
• Ashwagandha: 600 mg/day
• Lemon balm: 600–3000 mg
• Magnesium (if deficient): 350–500 mg
