More people than we initially thought who have "recovered" from Covid19 now face chronic fatigue and other problems.

A significant number of post-COVID patients suffer from syndromes that few doctors understand.

For those with treatment resistant PTSD (and possibly depression) there may be new hope coming down the pipeline. We have tons of former and current military who deal with stress from their military career who could use some support. Not to mention all the others who deal with PTSD from other traumatic events.

Results from a phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial demonstrate that MDMA-assisted therapy is safe and effective in treating severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

Ever wonder why you felt your best at 17 through your early 20s? True, live hadn’t yet kicked ur ass a few times but there’s another reason too. Your hormones. Yep , starting around late 20’s/ early 30’s many of our hormones begin to decline. Some faster than others. ( thanks chronic stress and poor nutrition). This can lead to a slew of problems. From low energy and weight gain to increased risk for heart disease and brittle bones. Good news is there’s a solution. A few actually. Learn more by contacting us.

Interesting article. Once again making the point that less processed, more natural, whole foods are a key to health and vitality.

Which is better for weight loss: a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet or a low-fat, high-carb plant-based diet? Maybe it's not about the macronutrients, says Dr F. Perry Wilson.

With reports of African american's being dis-proportionally effected by more severe corona virus infection, Vitamin D may be a factor. We've known for a long time that low vitamin D is associated with less robust immune systems. With more melanin in the skin African Americans often are more at risk of Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency due to their skins natural UV/sun blocking effects. TAKE HOME MESSAGE- get your vitamin D checked and/or start at least a 2000 iu D3 supplement to boost your Vitamin D during virus seasons, etc.

Dr JoAnn Manson reviews new data suggesting a link between COVID-19 infection and severity with low serum vitamin D levels.

The best offense is a good defense and the same goes for viruses. A healthy, robust immune system almost always handles viruses or bacteria without a problem. Most of the time your completely unaware that your body is fighting off a "bug".

A few key things really help your immune system; good sleep, healthy foods, exercise, and low/limited stress. If your like most people who don't eat healthy most of the time then adding some Vit A, D, and C supplements to your diet can help. Don't forget zinc and selenium.

Interesting how things change. For many years the conventional medical consensus was not to treat age related low testosterone unless there were multiple significant signs or symptoms of low T. Now the american college of physicians has come out and stated that treatment may be a good idea if the guy also has some sexual dysfunction (like ED). A move in right direction.

Waiting for symptoms to present before treatment is started is like waiting on a heart attack before you start trying to eat better and exercise. Alot late but still a good idea
