Why our beloved has to smell good to us, not just look good to us!

Why our beloved has to smell good to us, not just look good to us!

Our lives are dictated more by smell than we realize, but once again, as I have been writing for years, shape is also part of the issue. It now turns out that dancing is not just “with the stars,” but also “with our noses.” And a romantic partner’s shape is not only cool to look at, but also travels up our nose! I have been writing and lecturing for a long while now that the essential, critical messages of life are delivered inside our bodies by shape-shifting. A hormone sends a message to a proteineous receptor, and together they “shape-shift.” Merged [...]

What might you be breathing in or getting on your skin and nails that could cause early menopause, which doubles your risk of heart disease, bone loss, quality of life and can put a serious dent in your sexuality?

Hormone disruptors are compounds in the environment that look enough like hormones to your body, that if they gain access into your blood stream, these masquerading pollutants can hijack your normal hormonal system. I wrote one of the first books that discussed the role of hormone disruptors in health and what we can do about it (Hormone Deception McGraw-Hill 2000, Awakened Medicine 2010). At a medical meeting, research was presented that showed that women who had increased exposure in their everyday lives to hormone disrupting chemicals, can experience menopause 2 to even 15 years earlier then normal. In practice, doctors are [...]

Your broken heart has a billable medical code. It can now be diagnosed, tracked and turned into insurance for reimbursement. So, be kind to those who share your life for a while, don’t break their hearts!

The next time you go to break up with someone, be gentle. A broken heart is a real thing. The heart muscle weakens, mimicking a heart attack, even though the person may not have had the risk factors for heart disease. A broken heart can cause abnormal EKGs, elevation of heart enzymes (which means heart cells are actually exploding apart), and even skyrocket the production of inflammatory molecules, which threaten immune health. Any stressful situation (especially if you are prone to anxiety anyway)— the loss of a love, the death of a friend, the betrayal of a business partner, getting fired—can [...]

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?

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. [...]

How to keep a great scent (pheromones) even as you age, to overcome the newly recognized ‘posttraumatic de-scent disorder’!

I remember a quote once from Elizabeth Taylor where she said getting old was awful, because she even smelled old. Well, she wasn’t wrong. Apparently as we age, everything ages, even our scent. But read on, as I am going to give you some good news further down, so don’t hold your nose. To digress for one moment, I do recall the old Seinfeld routine where he and Elaine were in a car he had loaned out and the man who borrowed the car had awful body odor. Sitting in the car they got back from the stinky man, Elaine complained, [...]
