Powerful words about making remission "your hobby" and the importance of taking charge of your health especially when in remission. Listen to our conversation here.
The basic working unit of your brain is a neuron. It can also be called a nerve cell. It gets electrically excited to transmit information to a wide variety of cells through synapses. When this is humming, your brain is said to have a high state of neuroplasticity and you have no brain fog or brain diseases in your future. So you might think that the real deal of protecting your brain is protecting your neurons. But that’s not the case. The real protectors of your brain are glia cells that protect your neurons by feeding them proper substances. It always [...]
Dr. Berkson’s Birthday and Holiday Gift to protect your breasts and brains of those you love! Everything you ever wanted to know about natural progesterone… Progesterone is now regarded as so breast protective that there’s a scientific call to add it to breast cancer medications like Tamoxifen! It also promotes brain and sleep health in both men and women and works with Vitamin D to reduce inflammation in the nervous system and brain. Part 1 — Introduction to A Growing Understanding of Progesterone What is progesterone? Progesterone is a hormone. Its name comes from “pro”— meaning to support, and “gest” — [...]
By Berkson Please share! We live in a chemical soup. Every one thing affects everything else. Is this part of the unity that spirituality discusses? Is this what the philosopher Bucky Fuller meant when he referred to our planet as “spaceship earth”, meaning all we DO and ARE affects all of mother earth and you and I who live on it? New research suggests that our chemical soup lowers blood levels of nutrients. This chemical soup especially reduces blood stream levels of your all-important vitamin D. We live in a blend of over 85,000 manufactured chemicals. Many of these are now [...]
Fermenting food has been around since Neolithic times when there were no fridges. It’s a way of preserving food, that has many other health benefits besides preservation. The term fermentation comes from a Latin word meaning to “raise” or “bubble.” As the process of fermentation starts, are created and food is transformed into “power food.” In a sense we are all like starter cultures, bubbling our enthusiasm for life and health within our homes and communities. 8 Benefits of Fermented foods: More nutrients. When food is fermented, enhanced nutrition is generated, such as higher amounts of very bioavailable (more useable by [...]
The older you get the harder it naturally becomes to put the world around us in order. But the human brain adapts. At the end of this article you'll find 6 steps to help your brain adapt even better. In order to process the massive amount of information you receive daily—and every day this amount is growing by leaps and bounds—your brain builds file cabinets. Brains categorize into physiologic files. This understanding comes from neuroscientists at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. They looked at the way brains categorize factoids into “cranial files” and how this capacity varies throughout phases of a lifetime. Younger [...]
Too many young men, in their 20's and up, can have a gorgeous woman stand right in front of them, but the dashboards on their physiology blink warning, system break down. What’s up with that? Younger males are seeking out erectile dysfunction clinics. Younger males are being diagnosed with hypogonadism in which the body doesn’t make adequate testosterone or use it properly. There is a growing appreciation that T signals are sputtering. Testosterone is a major sex steroid signaling system that promotes diverse functions in both males and females. In both genders it is well known for it’s sexual actions such [...]
Sugars are hidden in many commercial foods. One must be a sleuth today to avoid them. They are labeled by different names so it’s even confusing to figure out what, if any, sugars are in there. Companies care about profits. We should care about our health. No one is making you buy that stuff. Companies put sugars in food to enhance food flavors so we will eat more and buy more. Sugars are now proven to create a transient “high” in some people (more in some than in others) and this contributes to wanting to eat more of what made you [...]
You might wonder why it is so difficult for so many to loose weight, but it is. It’s a growing problem. When I worked in Tulsa with my mentor, Dr. Block an integrative internist, I asked him. “What is the most severe but common problem folks complain of that's really hard to fix?" Dr. Block answered without a hitch, "resistant weight'. Why? One answer is our environment. It’s game rules have changed. The outside signals are hijacking our inside signals and that has created cellular pandemonium. Our environment, throughout the globe, is filled with obesogens. These include anti-thyroid, anti-insulinogenic and pro-estrogenic [...]
FITNESS is not only about VANITY but RESILIENCE. And BRAIN PLASTICITY. I am writing this based on a comment my dear neighbor said when I gave her a special birthday gift. A homemade coupon good for a fitness session with me at the gym. This weekend she “cashed” in. She has, like we all do, some special body stuff, so it was a time for me to help her see how she might use the machines to her advantage while avoiding her disadvantages. I like to give experiences, not just “stuff” (though her birthday bag did have some phthalate free vanilla [...]
