Heavy metals are EVERYWHERE. Even in your cinnamon and protein powders. But here’s the truth: there are NO clear FDA limits for most of them, so YOU need to be your own tester.

Have you checked how your body handles environmental toxins?
SBN offers heavy metal testing through hair tests and UTECs.

Most people assume their food is safe, but data shows otherwise, two thirds of protein powders have unsafe lead levels, and no one’s pulling them off shelves. It’s wild. Your health is your responsibility. Testing can reveal what’s really happening inside your body, not just what labels claim.

Are you willing to take action and protect yourself?

Remember, knowledge is power. Don’t rely on industry standards alone.

Supplement spotlight!

Vitamin D is essential for more than just bone health. It plays a critical role in immune support, cardiovascular function, and overall cellular health.

Key functions of Vitamin D include:

• Supporting calcium and phosphorus absorption for strong bones
• Maintaining healthy immune system function
• Supporting cardiovascular and metabolic health
• Contributing to mood and cognitive function

Because modern lifestyles often limit sun exposure, many individuals may not get enough Vitamin D through sunlight or diet alone. Thoughtful supplementation can help maintain optimal levels and support overall wellness.

No one plans for cancer.
No one budgets for chronic illness.

But many people unknowingly pay the price of waiting by missing early opportunities for prevention.

Testing doesn’t replace medical care.
It strengthens it by providing earlier insight and clearer direction.

Prevention isn’t a luxury.
It’s a responsibility to patients, families, and futures.

In a world where health supplements are booming, krill oil has emerged as a popular choice due to its touted health benefits. However, Dr. Merkle wants to shed light on the ecological implications of krill oil harvesting. "Krill, tiny shrimp like creatures, are a crucial part of the marine food chain, serving as a primary food source for whales, penguins, seals, and many other marine animals.

The commercial fishing of krill, even at seemingly small percentages, can have significant impacts on marine life. The noise and presence of fishing boats can disrupt the natural habitat, affecting the feeding patterns of marine animals. This disruption can lead to a decline in populations of higher marine animals, as their primary food source diminishes."

Dr. Merkle advocates for alternative sources of fish oil, such as those derived from fish higher up the food chain, to minimize ecological impact. He wishes to emphasize the importance of sustainable practices and common sense in our choices, urging us to consider the broader environmental consequences.

Let's make informed decisions for a healthier planet.

Formula 303 is a botanical based supplement traditionally used to support the body’s relaxation response and muscle comfort.

It combines herbs that have been historically utilized to help:
• Promote muscle relaxation and ease physical tension
• Support nervous system balance during periods of stress
• Encourage restful sleep without a sedative effect
• Assist the body in returning to a calm, relaxed state

By supporting both muscular and nervous system pathways, Formula 303 may be helpful for individuals experiencing occasional tension, stress, or difficulty unwinding.

Cardiovascular health is influenced by a wide range of interconnected factors, and relying on a single marker or standardized approach can overlook what’s truly driving risk or imbalance.

Looking beyond surface level numbers allows practitioners to consider vascular function, nutrient status, metabolic pathways, and individualized patterns that affect circulation and heart health. When support is tailored to the patient’s unique needs, recommendations become more precise, intentional, and effective.

A personalized, data informed approach helps remove uncertainty and supports more confident clinical decision making, allowing cardiovascular care to be proactive, not reactive.

Access to deeper testing helps practitioners identify the factors that matter most and build more targeted cardiovascular support.

Sleep is one of the most powerful foundations of health, yet it’s often the first thing sacrificed.

While we sleep, the body is actively working to:

- Regulate hormones that control energy, mood, and appetite
- Calm the nervous system and support stress recovery
- Repair tissues and support immune function
- Maintain healthy blood sugar and inflammatory balance

When sleep quality is consistently disrupted, the body has less opportunity to restore balance. Over time, this can impact cardiovascular health, metabolic function, focus, and overall resilience.

Supporting better sleep isn’t about “sleep harder.”
It’s about creating the right conditions for the body to relax, reset, and recover naturally.

At SBN, we focus on understanding the underlying factors and deficiencies that influence rest, so sleep becomes restorative, not frustrating.

A high-quality multivitamin isn’t about “covering everything." It’s about providing balanced, bioavailable support where the body needs it most.

Key considerations include:

- Nutrient forms
- Absorption and bioavailability
- Appropriate dosing
- Individual needs and lifestyle

When chosen thoughtfully, a multivitamin can help fill nutritional gaps and support consistency, especially in today’s fast paced world.

If you're curious what specifically your body needs. Nutritional blood testing through Science Based Nutrition is a fantastic way to learn more about what your body needs so you can create a more tailored plan for yourself.

Supplement spotlight!

Not all omega-3s are created equal.

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in supporting cardiovascular, cognitive, and inflammatory balance, but quality and consistency matter.

Opti-EPA 500 provides a concentrated source of EPA and DHA, two key omega-3s involved in:

• Supporting healthy inflammatory pathways
• Cardiovascular function and circulation
• Brain and nervous system health
• Cellular membrane integrity

For many individuals, dietary intake alone may not consistently provide adequate levels of EPA and DHA. Especially during periods of increased stress or inflammatory demand.

Thoughtfully sourced omega-3 support can help reinforce foundational nutrition and support long-term health goals.

The spread of false or misleading health claims, especially on social media, can have real world consequences, from confusion about treatments, dangerous self care practices, and growing distrust in evidence based guidance. Misinformation is “sticky” meaning once it spreads, it’s hard to undo without some effort.

So what’s new?
A recent preprint study on misinformation response strategies highlights how health professionals are taking matters into their own hands, especially on platforms like TikTok.

Here’s what the research finds:
- Health professionals are actively creating "debunking content". A small but dedicated group of certified practitioners is countering popular false claims related to nutrition and mental health by producing evidence based videos that directly respond to misinformation.
- This “Debunk It Yourself” approach involves selecting trending false claims, crafting scientifically grounded responses, and pairing them with the original misleading content to give viewers accurate context.
- Unlike platform moderation alone, this grassroots effort is proactive and rooted in clinical experience. But it still faces challenges due to platform algorithms and the sheer volume of misinformation.

Why it matters:
- Health misinformation on social platforms, spreads faster than traditional fact checking can keep up with. And it can impact people’s decisions about treatments, and wellness.
- When trusted experts step in to correct the record, it not only helps protect the public but also models how evidence based communication can work in a noisy online environment.

Combatting health misinformation isn’t just about debunking bad claims, it’s about empowering audiences with trustworthy information and supporting professionals who are willing to do the hard work of public education.
