I’m writing about the back to school stress, change in seasons, change in general, and of course the pressures of today’s environment; physically, mentally, financially and emotionally on our health. I remember going back to school, and it seemed like all of a sudden a wave of colds and flu’s would start up not soon [...]
Ok, here I go explaining why I believe even though the hypothalamus is not considered part of the endocrine system I would still call it the “master” over the endocrine system more than the pituitary. Whew, that was a mouthful.
See, the pituitary gland as I explained in yesterday’s post is considered the master gland in the category of [...]
Yes, gonads are part of the endocrine system and they are your sex glands. Ovaries and testes to be exact. Very important to keep these glands healthy so they can keep doing their job of making hormones. There’s that word again, hormones. I talk a lot about supporting good hormone balance through good nutrition, certain [...]
Sometimes I find it very challenging to give a one pointed answer to a nutritional question. It’s not because I don’t want to give you a direct answer it’s because the way my mind works and knowing what I do about our bodies nutritional needs, it’s just not that simple.

Being an alternative and shall I say complimentary type nutritionist I stand by both sides when either results, effectiveness, evidence based research, longevity, minimal side effects, and personal experience have won me over. And you must know this about me, I’m hard to win over. That’s why you’ll read my posts talking about the classics when it [...]
If I went on to explain the amount of work your liver has to do every day for you to live-r, you would be amazed. I’m focusing on our liver right now because I feel it’s a lost organ amongst the “cleansing” diets focusing on the colon. I’m all for that too, but let’s keep [...]
Summer in Los Angeles, the tropics, the beaches etc., no matter where you live bathing suit season is upon us. Or even if you’ve been trying to lose weight for your general health, getting your sexy body back from having a baby, or just letting yourself go and it’s time to get your sexy body [...]
