You are tuned into The Dr. Tina Show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit drtina.com. You know I'm all about getting the protein in. It's the foundation of your strength, your muscle, and your metabolic health. But here's the kicker. Just because you're eating a lot of protein doesn't mean you're absorbing all of it.
Without the right digestive enzymes, much of it isn't necessarily getting broken down into amino acids that your body uses for muscle protein synthesis. This gets worse as we age. Your muscles don't just need more protein. They need bioavailable protein, and that's where digestive enzymes can come in handy. This is why I never leave my protein intake to chance. I use Masszymes by Bioptimizers.
It's a high-potency proteolytic enzyme formula designed specifically to help you absorb more of the protein that you eat. Not all enzymes are created equal and most on the market are weak, underdosed, and ineffective. Masszymes is the real deal and the one that I trust personally.
I've even done a side-by-side breakdown with ChatGPT on all my favorite digestive enzymes and this one always comes out tops. Masszymes is a full-spectrum enzyme formula with more protease than any other commercially available product. It's got five different types of protease in it, plus it contains all the other key enzymes you need for optimal digestion. And you can try it today risk-free.
Their 365-day full money-back guarantee is the gold standard of the industry. For your exclusive offer as a listener of The Dr. Tina Show, head to buyoptimizers.com forward slash drtina and use promo code drtina. Again, that link is bioptimizers.com forward slash Dr. Tina.
On this episode of the Dr. Tina Show, I am going to be talking to you on a quick and dirty episode about why I say that vasomotor symptoms, also known as hot flashes, are the harbinger of doom. So let's jump in. All right, so... What is a hot flash? A hot flash is literally a vasomotor spasm.
That means your vasculature is spasming, which is crazy to think about, which means your entire body is having a vasomotor spasm. And that's concerning when you think about the fact that the Spasming is happening around your cardiovascular system, around your heart. It's happening potentially in your brain. These are vasomotor spasms. That's what is happening when you're having hot flashes.
And that is why I say it's the harbinger of doom. These are not benign. These are not to be taken lightly. These are not to be dismissed. These are not something to be accepted. These are not something that we just brush off and say, oh, it's part of getting older and that's just what I have to expect. No, no. We do not want hot flashes, ladies.
Bad hot flashes are a bad sign, and I'm not trying to scare anyone, but I'm telling you the data clearly shows this. So just because your doctor hasn't told you or you haven't looked into it or the influencers aren't talking about it yet does not mean that it's not a dangerous scenario to be in.
