We are MOST of us going to be living longer, but how will we be doing it? I was driving home from a two-hour work out at the gym yesterday and I saw a sign for an estate sale. So I parked and went in. I saw a very old couple looking very pale, over weight, on the couch, with two walkers parked close by. I sat down and asked if they were the owners, and what was the reason for the sale, did they mind sharing where they were moving. They were done with stairs, cooking, walking and taking care [...]

Scientific Nutritional Step to Protect Against Colon Cancer or If You Have it, To Keep It From Spreading

2019-02-14T14:21:22-06:00

Colon Cancer Colon cancer is nasty. You can get it at any age. Medical guidelines recommend starting colonoscopy testing around 50 years of age. But colon cancer has now been striking earlier and earlier. It comes on silently and deadly seemingly out of left field. Colon cancer has two dangerous traits: 1. These cells are very resistant to all known treatments. 2. They hide. Resistance: Colon cancer cells are very hard to kill. Colon cancer cells turn off a protein called HOXA5. This is a group of cells that, when a fetus is developing, help the mom’s body figure out which [...]

Estrogen Naïveté Needs to Wake Up

2018-11-12T09:36:16-06:00

Estrogen’s a real complex and intriguing hormone. Medicine and science have been confused about estrogen for a long time now. Estrogen is sultry and ancient. She was the first hormone that existed on earth. She’s been around longer than most other signaling molecules (much of life inside the human body occurs with one cell sending an email to another; this is a signaling system). Estrogen is critical for many life processes and in most life forms. The estrogen emailing system in the fruit fly, gorilla, men and women and boys and girls is all the same. Each of us needs estrogen [...]

Bioidentical Hormone News

2018-10-30T20:25:18-05:00

Benefit vs Risk Does hormone replacement have more benefit than risk? Emerging science says yes! 2013 research demonstrates that bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) is a sensible consideration for most peri and postmenopausal women (and also for men). However, science based, sensible hormonal replacement must be: 1.     Individualized 2.     Soundly tested and monitored 3.     The entire hormone family evaluated 4.     Key nutrients that assist in hormone signaling addressed 5.     Digestion evaluated to ensure key nutrient absorption 6.     Plus, there now there are even new answers for women (and men) months out from diagnosis of hormonally dependent diseases. There is a revolution happening [...]

Sugar and Sweat – our government’s report card on our health pollution

2019-02-14T14:02:51-06:00

The CDC has just come out with reports on how we move and what we eat We flunked the 2 S's: Sugar and Sweat Americans aren't moving enough, nor smart enough The majority of us, 80%, are exercise polluted The CDC says, to stay well, we need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week Either 20 minutes daily, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity twice weekly Along with muscle strengthening at least twice a week (which very few Americans do, perhaps as few as have reached Nirvana) Personally I like bouts of short high-intensity intervals but they have [...]

Hormonal Alerts – FDA says NO to non-hormonal hot flash med

2019-01-30T14:17:25-06:00

It’s great that the FDA didn’t approve the use of gabapentin, a non-hormonal drug classically used for treating seizures and pain, for the treatment of hot flashes. And this is especially true considering the dosage that was being recommended. Dosage that was trying to be approved to treat hot flashes was 1200 mg twice a day. Have you ever had to take this medication? It melts your brain. It reduces nerve root pain fabulously (when you need it) but it literally makes most people who take it feel off balance, walking and weaving drunk-like, and with a difficult time focusing and [...]

Hormone Replacement NEW guidelines from the British Menopause Society — HRT is going mainstream again

2019-01-30T14:30:45-06:00

We are all aging. The aging segments of society are the fastest growing world-wide. The Brits have now said that sophisticated hormonal replacement treatments (HRT) are a sensible and powerful way to keep us healthy, and to avoid toppling medical care systems. But, HRT needs to be prescribed in ways where the benefits outweigh the risks as much as possible. This makes great sense. Hormone Replacement is Moving Mainstream Once Again I think what is exciting is that this report said hormones are helpful, the treatment should be individualized, there is no set time limit, old and young alike can benefit [...]

How does pot smoking affect insulin and blood sugar levels? Be very surprised…

2019-02-01T20:46:44-06:00

Marijuana Controversy The issue of marijuana is a big pot of pluses and minuses. Some people swear it reduces their pain, others swear it causes brain drain. None-the-less, it’s a controversy that isn’t going away especially with Colorado leading the way of legalization of this herb. Joseph S. Alpert, MD, editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Medicine and on staff at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, prophesized, for the record, "Tetrahydrocannabinol, one of the active ingredients in pot, will be commonly prescribed in the future for patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome alongside anti-diabetic oral agents or insulin [...]

You need these watching your back, especially as you move into the 2nd half of your life.

2020-02-25T12:57:16-06:00

When we are young and filled with energy the blood stream is optimally packed with sex hormones that deliver robust emails to genes inside cells that tell cells what to do. Younger folks have the cellular messages and thus the energy to run, think, focus, make love and enjoy it, and to also have the delicious mojo to approach any task with focus and force. When our hormones are robust we feel that the world is our oyster. As we age, the sex organs put out less sex hormones. Subsequently, the job of delivering life’s critical emails to cells to tell [...]
