This video, by Dr. Deb Ford, discusses a new product called Cartigenix HP, which is a botanical supplement designed to improve joint health. She explains how joint health is linked to overall metabolic health, and reviews studies showing that Cartigenix HP, made from celery seed and Boswellia serrata extracts, can reduce pain, stiffness, and improve quality of life for people with osteoarthritis. The video also covers how these ingredients work to balance inflammation and support cartilage regeneration, and provides tips for incorporating the supplement into a healthy lifestyle.
Key Takeaways
1
The video introduces Cartigenix HP, a new botanical product with celery seed and Boswellia serrata extracts that has shown promise for joint health.
2
A 2022 study published in the International Journal of Orthopedic Sciences found that this botanical combination significantly improved joint comfort, mobility, and quality of life in over 1,200 people with osteoarthritis.
3
Joint health is crucial for metabolic health because lack of movement due to joint pain can lead to muscle decline, insulin resistance, and weight gain.
4
The study showed impressive results, including a massive improvement in pain, stiffness, and physical function scores, and a 78% improvement in quality of life.
5
Cartigenix HP has also been shown in other human trials to reduce pain, improve walking distance, and significantly increase cartilage regeneration markers.
6
Boswellia (frankincense) and celery seed extracts work by modulating inflammatory pathways and balancing inflammatory compounds, reducing side effects compared to drugs.
7
The product is designed to support movement, reduce inflammation that affects overall body systems (like blood sugar and brain health), and improve quality of life.
8
Cartigenix HP is a supportive layer for health, not a replacement for foundational habits like a protein-first diet, low-sugar eating, movement, hydration, sleep, and stress reduction.
9
Improvements from Cartigenix HP are gradual, with initial changes in stiffness and motion in 1-2 weeks, activity tolerance in 3-6 weeks, and full benefits, including younger-feeling movement, by 9-12 weeks.
10
To maximize results, it's recommended to establish a baseline of pain and stiffness, incorporate daily "movement snacks," and maintain a joint-friendly diet rich in Omega-3s, colorful plants, and minerals.

Hello my friends. This is Dr. Deb Ford,
0:03
dietician and doctor of clinical
0:05
nutrition, your metabolic health guide,
0:08
your diet and lifestyle professional
0:10
cheerleader and I hope your favorite
0:13
person reminding you that you are a
0:16
walking talking miracle in progress.
0:20
Welcome back to today's nutrition. It's
0:23
kind of a myha show helping to make you
0:26
healthy again from the inside out. Oh my
0:28
goodness, I am excited. This show is
0:31
going to be a little different. It's
0:33
about a specific new product that has me
0:36
excited. You know, when something
0:38
crosses my desk or I'm at a conference
0:41
and I get this little sparkle inside
0:43
that says, you know, this could help a
0:46
lot of my people with joint problems.
0:48
That kind of feeling. Well, that's what
0:51
happened when I became aware of a study
0:55
that came out of the International
0:57
Journal of Orthopedic Sciences. It's
1:00
about a botanical combination of celery
1:03
seed extract, really different celery
1:06
seed extract and a bosellia serata
1:10
extract that dramatically improved joint
1:14
comfort, mobility and quality of life in
1:18
over,200 people in this study that had
1:22
osteoarthritis.
1:23
So why does that matter? Because joint
1:27
health is metabolic health. If your
1:30
joints hurt, you don't move. If you
1:32
don't move, your muscles decline. And if
1:35
muscles decline, you know those muscles
1:38
that are your organ of longevity, well,
1:41
then insulin resistance creeps up. And
1:43
if insulin resistance creeps up, well,
1:47
you know, the rest of that metabolic
1:49
weight gain snowball. So today I'm
1:53
diving deep into what this 2022 study
1:57
actually found and why these plant
2:01
compounds
2:03
matter for inflammation and mobility and
2:06
this product called Cardagenx HP. how it
2:10
fits in with the whole researchback
2:13
pattern that we have to have and how
2:15
joint comfort ties to all my products
2:19
and all my programs including weight
2:21
loss for life and longevity and the mya
2:24
and the 10day detox. Simple actions you
2:29
can take that will support those
2:32
metabolic hinges your joints. So, let's
2:35
go. Let's make it a little fun and let's
2:39
get you feeling free in your body again.
2:41
So when the new year hits, you're going
2:43
to be ready to start moving. So first of
2:46
all, I want to unpack this study. Clear
2:49
simple science. The study itself was
2:52
titled clinical effectiveness and
2:56
tolerability of celery seed and
2:59
boswellia serata extracts in
3:01
osteoarthritis.
3:03
again published 2022 in the
3:05
International Journal of Orthopedic
3:08
Sciences followed over 1,200
3:11
participants for 90 days using this
3:14
blend of celery seed and bosellia very
3:19
similar to what we see in Cardogenics HP
3:23
proprietary spectrum that has over 13
3:25
bioactives. It has a real interesting
3:29
specific celery seed that only comes
3:32
from this one part of India. India just
3:36
has so many wonderful herbs including my
3:40
favorite curaman extra strength that has
3:42
the curcumin bcm 95. But anyway,
3:45
participants in this study were
3:47
evaluated on very common tests. Number
3:52
one, the WMAC score, which is typically
3:55
how we measure pain, stiffness, and
3:57
physical function. And the EQ5D, which
4:01
is quality of life. I mean, that's what
4:03
it's all about. And then a pain scale.
4:06
And then finally, overall tolerability.
4:09
So, the results were pretty impressive.
4:12
The WAC score for pain and stiffness and
4:16
physical symptoms went from 62 down to
4:20
under 17 in just 90 days. Massive
4:23
improvements on that pain and stiffness
4:26
and function. Quality of life improved
4:29
78%.
4:32
Pain scores went from over 8 to about
4:36
1.78.
4:38
And finally, no major adverse effects.
4:41
It was well tolerated. So, let me
4:44
translate that into real life terms for
4:46
you. People moved better. They hurt
4:49
less. They functioned more. They felt
4:52
like themselves again. And that is my
4:55
love language. There were limitations to
4:58
this study. So, we got to be honest
4:59
here. It was not a randomized controls
5:03
trial. still excellent realworld
5:06
evidence, but not the gold standard and
5:10
dosage were specific to a proprietary
5:13
product. But the results apply most
5:17
strongly to individuals with
5:19
osteoarthritis, but that could translate
5:22
for anybody that's got inflammation and
5:24
stiffness and and just trouble with
5:27
movement when they're uncomfortable.
5:29
Really encouraging research. exactly the
5:31
kind of evidence I look for when
5:33
deciding if I am confident in
5:36
recommending one of my products. Then
5:38
what's really great, there were three
5:40
published human trials that had
5:43
randomized placeboc controlled studies
5:46
using carttogenics HP and what they
5:49
found 67%
5:52
average reduction in pain, 50% average
5:56
improvement in walking distance. they
5:58
could walk 50% farther and significant
6:03
increase in cartilage regeneration
6:06
markers. This is what got my attention.
6:10
Actual condondraittes
6:13
increased in the serum. Condraittes are
6:16
the cells that make up cartilage.
6:18
They're responsible for maintaining
6:21
cartilage structure. So what some people
6:24
have found that even if they were bone
6:26
on bone, the cartilage was regrowing.
6:30
Participants noticed improvement in as
6:33
little as 15 days, but the studies all
6:35
went on for 90 days. Let's kind of
6:37
connect the dots. What is in here?
6:40
Bosellia, also known as frankincense,
6:43
and its star compound satlia.
6:49
We know from all the studies that we've
6:52
done, modern science tells us that it
6:54
modulates the five locks pathway which
6:57
is a major inflammatory one that drug
7:00
companies try to target. It also
7:03
supports healthy COX activity.
7:06
Unlike drugs that throttle down on these
7:10
pathways, what these herbs do is they
7:13
support and modulate. They balance the
7:17
inflammatory compounds. That's why they
7:19
don't have the side effects that you see
7:20
with drugs. And they also decrease
7:23
cytoines. Those are the inflammatory
7:25
compounds that drive joint degeneration.
7:30
All in all, supporting mobility,
7:33
comfort, and tissue healing. Wow. The
7:37
serotl is kind of a unique compound that
7:42
comes from the bosellia. I normally see
7:45
other ones that are the extracts that
7:48
they use, but this one has serotl. Then
7:51
it has celery seed extract, not any
7:56
celery seed, a very specific one from
7:59
northern India. And they've got a patent
8:02
pending on this extraction process that
8:05
uses the synergistic complex of lots of
8:08
compounds. It doesn't isolate. They keep
8:11
that orchestra going. So why does that
8:14
matter? It's an orchestra like a choir.
8:17
It's not a soloist. That's why it
8:19
modulates. You get the healthy
8:22
inflammatory response. You get good
8:24
circulation, get good fluid movement in
8:27
the joints and it reduces oxidative
8:31
stress. When you combine that with
8:34
Bosellia, oh my goodness, you got some
8:37
real headliners here where broader
8:40
coverage, better synergy, more pathways
8:43
are addressed, and a higher likelihood
8:46
of long-term realworld improvement. In
8:51
functional medicine, we love synergy. We
8:55
like to see the whole compound. The body
8:58
loves synergy. When I can bring this to
9:00
you, I am so excited because it's
9:03
working on my heavenly pillars.
9:06
Metabolic principle number one, movement
9:09
is medicine. When your joints hurt, you
9:12
stop moving. You stop walking, you stop
9:14
lifting, you stop squatting, you stop
9:16
bending. And when you stop moving, when
9:19
you just sit, that is when the metabolic
9:23
dominoes fall. You sit, you rust. less
9:28
muscle, more visceral fat. More visceral
9:31
fat, more inflammation. More
9:33
inflammation, more joint pain. More
9:36
joint pain, less movement. So, it's just
9:40
a snowball downward spiral. The
9:43
carttogenic HP that helps people flip
9:47
that spiral upward. Less pain, more
9:51
movement, stronger muscles, better
9:52
insulin sensitivity, less inflammation,
9:55
more energy, better sleep, improved
9:58
metabolic age. So that is my and
10:03
longevity magic. Metabolic principle
10:06
number two. I love this because
10:09
inflammation touches everything. Joint
10:12
pain just isn't orthopedic.
10:15
It's biiochemical.
10:17
So when you've got all this
10:18
inflammation, it affects blood sugar
10:21
regulation. It affects cortisol. It
10:24
affects your brain health, memory, and
10:27
cognition. It affects mitochondrial
10:29
function, sleep quality, detoxification,
10:33
digestion, energy, inflammation, and
10:37
pain
10:39
take you down. So for me,
10:42
supporting inflammatory balance through
10:45
botanicals just makes metabolic sense.
10:49
And metabolic principle number three,
10:52
quality of life is a biioarker.
10:55
When you can move without pain, your
10:59
circulation improves, you eat better,
11:01
you think clearer, you sleep deeper, you
11:04
socialize more. And from what the new
11:07
research says on socialization,
11:10
if you're isolated, that is worse than
11:12
smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Boy.
11:16
So quality of life. When you can
11:19
socialize more, that's important. And
11:22
also when you have better quality of
11:24
life, you're more more motivated and you
11:26
can have healthier habits. That's the
11:28
entire point of my making you healthy
11:31
again because you deserve to feel alive
11:35
and love your body. Here's what I might
11:38
suggest you position the Cardogenics HP
11:41
in your health journey if it's
11:43
appropriate.
11:45
It would be a support layer, not the
11:47
foundation. The foundation is always
11:49
protein first. Got to have that to build
11:53
muscle, to build bone, to build your
11:55
immune system. protein first and the
11:57
older we get, the more we need. I know
12:00
it's hard. Next week, I'm going to be
12:02
talking about another product that's
12:04
great for the protein. Second thing, we
12:06
need to have a low sugar,
12:08
anti-inflammatory diet with lots of
12:10
vegetables, colorful berries, healthy
12:13
fat, organic whenever possible. You got
12:16
to have movement, you got to have
12:17
hydration, sleep, stress reduction, and
12:20
good detox support habits.
12:24
So it would fit into a supportive
12:28
category. It does not replace habits. It
12:32
supports habit especially movement. You
12:35
cannot outs supplement bad habits. It
12:38
helps you do the work faster with more
12:42
success. So when I would consider it if
12:46
someone has morning stiffness, if you've
12:49
slowed your workouts because your joints
12:52
hurt, if you struggle with recovery
12:55
after a workout, or if you have swelling
12:58
and inflammation, if you have age
13:00
related joint changes, or if you just
13:03
want to stay active past your 70s, 80s,
13:07
90s, and beyond, why not? or anybody who
13:12
needs support while restarting exercise
13:15
after years of inactivity. So, if you're
13:18
looking at New Year's, this would be a
13:20
great time to start it.
13:23
Why I like this product and why I'm
13:25
choosing it for my people based on
13:27
clinical evidence. It has special
13:31
complexes of celeries and bosellia 13
13:35
synergistic bioactives patent pending
13:38
which means real innovation and it's
13:41
consistent batch to batch. You know it's
13:45
just not harvesting the herbs out of
13:47
your garden. It's going to be consistent
13:49
in all of those bioactive compounds. And
13:52
it fits beautifully into metabolic
13:55
health, joint health, and longevity. I
13:58
don't put my name behind junk. In fact,
14:00
I have my friends and family on it who
14:03
have real cartilage problems with the
14:06
hope of cartilage renewal, not junk. It
14:09
is smart, elegant botanical science.
14:12
Like I say though, 90 days. You have to
14:15
be consistent. And that makes sense
14:17
because nothing that truly supports
14:20
healing is going to work instantly. It
14:22
isn't a drug that covers up symptoms. It
14:25
is helping rebuild tissue. So, what I
14:29
tell my clients, weeks one and two,
14:32
you're probably going to notice less
14:33
stiffness and maybe gentler motion.
14:37
Weeks 3 to six, activity tolerance
14:40
improves, decrease in discomfort. And
14:44
then by week 9 to 12, you're going to
14:47
start seeing the full benefits. Movement
14:50
feels younger.
14:53
Think of it like you're watering a
14:54
plant. You don't just water it once and
14:57
expect a tree. Consistency
15:00
grows healing. So if you try it, first
15:04
of all, I would have you check your
15:06
baseline.
15:08
Ask yourself in the morning, what is my
15:11
stiffness? Rated 1 to 10. Where is my
15:15
discomfort after a long day? Rate it 1
15:18
to 10.
15:20
What movements feel the most limited?
15:23
You've got to know where you start.
15:25
Awareness is your starting point. Then
15:28
the second thing, we're going to add
15:31
daily movement snacks. Maybe just 3 to 5
15:35
minutes of marching or wall push-ups,
15:39
hip circles, ankle mobility, light
15:42
stretching. Motion pulls those nutrients
15:47
into the cartilage.
15:49
stagnation stiffens everything. So, we
15:52
got to have a little bit of a movement
15:55
snack. And then building a healthy joint
16:00
friendly nutrition plate. Omega-3s,
16:04
salmon, sardines, walnuts, and yes,
16:07
those anchovies from Acharoli, my
16:10
favorite longevity city. And then
16:13
colorful plants, herbs every day, every
16:17
meal. Preferably herbs like ginger,
16:20
turmeric, and rosemary. Then we have to
16:22
be hydrated. You don't want those joints
16:24
to get dried out. Then you want
16:26
minerals. Think magnesiumrich foods.
16:29
Collagen. I love the one that we carry
16:32
that's 1 through 10 multipeptide.
16:35
And then evaluate your support system.
16:38
If joint discomfort is limiting you, you
16:42
might want to consider adding
16:44
Cardogenics HP for mobility, for healthy
16:49
inflammatory response, for joint
16:51
comfort. It is excellent targeting
16:55
inflammation, supporting cartilage
16:58
turnover, really helping the body to
17:02
maintain healthy cartilage turnover and
17:06
preserve healthy cartilage. tissue.
17:09
There's some studies on cardogenic that
17:11
show it increased biomarkers
17:14
associated with cartilage regeneration
17:18
and led to visible restoration of joint
17:23
spaces. So you can see there's more
17:25
plumpness in the cartilage. I think this
17:29
one is huge. It's been shown to reduce
17:32
markers of cartilage breakdown by 50% at
17:36
the same time showing an increase in
17:39
cartilage regeneration markers. Think
17:42
about what that would do to change your
17:44
life. Oh boy. That wraps up today's
17:47
nutrition. We've covered the exciting
17:50
2022 clinical research on cardogenics
17:53
HP. Link that joint health directly to
17:57
metabolic health. and you got my
18:00
personal heavenly action plan from my
18:03
book, Get Out of Hormone Hell: Six
18:05
Heavenly Steps to Feel Great, Lose
18:08
Weight, and Reverse Aging. So, time to
18:10
take charge of your joint health today.
18:13
And remember, you are designed for
18:16
vibrant movement. You are designed for
18:18
joy in your body, and you are absolutely
18:21
capable of becoming metabolically
18:23
younger, stronger, and freer. Just keep
18:27
stacking those winds, keep choosing
18:30
yourself,
18:32
and keep living your heavenly life. I'm

I’m excited. This show is going to be a little different – it is about a specific new product that has me excited. You know when something crosses my desk and I get that little sparkle inside, that says “This could help my people” feeling? That’s what happened when I read a clinical study out of the International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences on a botanical combination—celery seed extract and Boswellia serrata—that dramatically improved joint comfort, mobility, and quality of life in over 1,200 adults with osteoarthritis.
