Emerging research, including a significant study by British researchers*, is continually deepening our understanding of the intricate link between kidney function and heart health. As kidney health declines, the risk of heart disease can notably increase.

A key player in this connection is a molecule known as Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a). This type of fat can contribute to arterial plaque buildup, similar to "bad" LDL cholesterol. While high Lp(a) levels are often genetic, they can also be elevated in individuals with kidney disease. Normally, healthy kidneys help regulate Lp(a) levels; impaired kidney function can lead to an increase.

Elevated Lp(a) is directly associated with a heightened risk of heart disease and stroke, especially in those with higher levels.

Currently, there are no widely available medications specifically designed to lower Lp(a). However, certain dietary modifications and supplements show promise:

🟢 Niacin: This B vitamin can reduce Lp(a) by 20-30%, but proper dosage and potential side effects (like flushing) should be discussed with your doctor.
🟢 Flaxseeds: Incorporating about 25 grams (3 tablespoons) of flaxseeds daily into your diet (e.g., in cereals or muffins) has shown to significantly lower Lp(a).
🟢 Other Natural Support: Studies suggest that L-carnitine, Coenzyme Q10, and red yeast rice may also help decrease Lp(a) levels. Always consult your doctor to ensure suitability.

Many healthcare providers do not routinely test for Lp(a). If you have concerns about your heart disease risk, particularly if you also have kidney issues, discuss Lp(a) testing with your doctor. Some walk-in labs also offer this test.

Remember, maintaining optimal kidney function is paramount for overall well-being, including robust heart health. Engage in a conversation with your doctor about your heart disease risk factors and personalized management strategies.

Ever feel like the world wants us on endless meds, leaving us drained? This article flips the script on women's health and aging, highlighting the surprising power of testosterone!

Did you know women have testosterone too? By age 40, your levels can drop by 50%! This can mean: brain fog, low libido, fatigue, anxiety, and less muscle/bone.

The Science Says YES! 🔬

-7-year studies show testosterone therapy is SAFE for postmenopausal women.

-No increased heart issues! In fact, testosterone is consistently found to be heart-protective.

-Some studies even suggest T therapy alone can be more effective than other hormone options for menopausal symptoms.

Shockingly, higher doses of testosterone have even been used to treat breast cancer! (And lower T levels can be linked to higher breast cancer risk).

The author, Devaki Berkson, at almost 77, is kayaking thanks to her hormone therapy with added testosterone.

Don't let myths hold you back. If you're feeling "less than," ask your doctor about how testosterone could help you feel your best.

Did you know that consistently getting less than six hours of sleep can impact your cognitive and physical abilities as much as having a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08%? Let's make quality sleep a priority!

If you're struggling with inconsistent sleep patterns, it might be time to explore the natural benefits of melatonin. This naturally occurring hormone can be a game-changer in regulating your sleep-wake cycles, helping you achieve the deep, restorative sleep your body needs.

A good night's sleep is the bedrock of a healthy, vibrant life. We offer a curated selection of different supplements designed to support your journey towards optimal well-being. Call 248-669-5050 to set up an appointment.

A new 2025 study reveals a concerning link between SSRIs (like Prozac & Zoloft) and negative health outcomes, especially for those with dementia.

Here's what the research on 18,000+ patients over 11 years found:

-Faster Cognitive Decline: Patients on SSRIs, particularly Prozac and Zoloft, showed a more rapid worsening of brain function.
-Increased Risks: Higher doses of SSRIs were linked to a 35% increased risk of severe dementia, 25% increased fracture risk, and 18% higher mortality.
-The "Serotonin Myth" Debunked: The long-held belief that depression is simply due to low serotonin is being called "intellectually bankrupt" by experts, with no strong evidence to support it.

SSRIs can even have neurotoxic effects, disrupting brain cell growth and melatonin production, leading to fatigue and feeling "old before your time." This is called medication-induced cognitive decline.

Feeling overwhelmed? There are natural alternatives!

Consider exploring:
-Hormone balancing (Progesterone is a powerful anti-depressant!)
-Magnesium
-Lithium nutraceuticals (different from prescription lithium!)
-Saffron extract (shown to be as effective as Prozac in studies)
-Diet, exercise, sunshine, and time outdoors
Knowledge is power! Always seek a healthcare provider who looks for the root cause of your symptoms, rather than just prescribing medication.

Have you heard of BHRT? It stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, a newer approach to addressing hormonal imbalances.

BHRT mimics nature by using hormones with a structure identical to those your body naturally produces. These hormones are derived from plants and carefully crafted to perfectly match your body's chemistry.

Unlike synthetic hormones, BHRT offers a targeted approach. It addresses your unique needs, aiming to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and fatigue. BHRT seeks to work in harmony with your body, not against it. (San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2019)

BHRT can be a powerful tool for women and men experiencing perimenopause, menopause, and andropause.

If you’re considering BHRT, a consultation with a healthcare professional is key. They will assess your individual situation and determine if BHRT is the right path for you. Questions? Set up an appointment with our team to talk more: 248-669-5050.

A recent newsletter from Devaki Berkson raises serious questions about conventional treatments for bone loss, especially in high-risk women. Key takeaways:

🩻Claims bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Boniva) may lead to increased fractures, jaw necrosis, and even higher cancer risks, citing studies & lawsuits.

🧪Suggests bone loss is primarily due to hormone deficiency (estrogen, etc.).

🥬Advocates for bioidentical HRT (estrogen) & proper nutrition—including essential minerals like microcrystalline hydroxyapatite—as effective ways to prevent bone loss & reduce fracture risk by 20-40%.

This perspective challenges mainstream advice and emphasizes "Knowledge is power." Worth discussing with your healthcare provider if bone health is a concern for you.
