Let the fight begin!

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 [...]

I got Hypothalamus on the brain!

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 [...]

Got gonads?

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 [...]

Craving sugar? Need more energy?

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. I know you want simple, easy, [...]

What you should know about your adrenal glands

First and foremost they are connected to your hypthalamus and your pituitary. So hopefully you’ll keep coming back to learn how to keep those glands healthy too. Awhile ago I had written how Vogue magazine had an article on adrenal fatigue and it’s the new chronic fatigue syndrome of our day. Well, I wholeheartedly agree.

Denialism or democratization of science and alternative health practices

I don’t want to be heavy today, but this post extends from my theme regarding my opinion about the case for supplements and alternative health practices. Anyway, let’s see how I can tie this all in and make it reasonable, something I don’t think this author of the book Denialism has created. Now, I’m not [...]

The case for supplements and liver support

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 [...]

Take a load off your liver and live better

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 [...]

What’s hair got to do with it

Today is a quick share about an article talking a tad about my nutritional lab service: hair mineral analysis. People ask me all the time how valid it is. Well the EPA uses it to test for toxic elements. And the fact is, it’s better than blood or urine for testing minerals and metabolic activity. [...]
