Whole grains contain robust amounts of the entire vitamin E family, called natural-mixed tocopherols. These boost, or upregulate, ER beta and JAM-A, production, too. Processed or refined grains, like white bread, white pasta and white rice, do not contain this ER beta boosting vitamin E family.

It’s the hormone/nutrient/total health link, once again. Hormones, nutrients, and food function (and dysfunction) together, and in so doing affect multiple tissues, especially our gut walls. And brains. (Safe Hormones, Smart Women (Awakened Medicine 2010), Journal of Physiology 2009 American Journal of Physiological Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology 2011 Microvascular Research 2011) Perhaps yet another way that antibiotics potentially damage gut linings is not only by killing friendly bacteria, but they may also injure JAM-A cells. I recommend to people that need to take antibiotics that they add some thiamine along with vitamin A to their probiotic regime to protect their gut [...]

Leaky gut and perhaps even leaky brains, no longer merely functional medicine concepts, are now entering mainstream research. And, of all things, what do hormones and soy have to do with this?

I wrote Healthy Digestion the Natural Way over 13 years ago. In it were presented over 60 intestinal conditions and how to use natural methods to help deal with them. One concept presented was the leaky gut syndrome. At that time, if a patient mentioned that they might have a leaky gut to their doctors, they got the raised eyebrow “aren’t you stupid” reaction. Today, that shouldn’t be the case. If your doctor still reacts this way, run for the hills or put their picture on a milk carton. Even scientists at Emory University are getting in on understanding leaky gut [...]

Thursday February 21, 2013 Listen: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/dr-ritamarie/2013/02/21/libido-boosting-pt-2 The great news is that there are specific reasons why your libido is low, and it is easily remedied by natural means. Most people focus on the wrong hormones, testosterone and estrogen when trying to increase a low sex drive. But there is ONE hormone that controls all of the others and is the TRUE culprit for your low libido. Balance that hormone, and your mojo will be back faster than ever! Pills don’t work – because they don’t address the underlying issue. How to remedy a low libido is one of the most common [...]

Circadian and immune rhythms: a match made in heaven and a mismatch that manifests in disease?

2019-01-17T19:11:58-06:00

Timing is everything — in war, timing can make all the difference between a hero and a traitor; in love, and timing can produce a happy relationship or a horrific break-up. Now, timing also affects our ability to fight off disease. Our immune defense appears to lean on our internal physiologic clock. Researchers at the Yale University School of Medicine were able to show that the ability of the immune system to recruit appropriate surveillance and fight off pathogens (bad bugs), was timing related. To have a healthy immune system we need to be in timing sync with light and dark. [...]
