According to a five-year study, conducted by Dr. Bernard Forette and a team of researchers from Paris, set out to determine the connection between cholesterol levels and death rates In 92 women with an average age of 82. The study found:

▶️ Those women with average cholesterol levels of 154mg/dL had a 420% increased risk of death compared with those women with an average cholesterol level of 270mg/dL

▶️ Those women with average cholesterol levels of 154mg/dL had a 340% increased risk of death compared with those women with an average cholesterol level of 340mg/dL

The results from Dr. Forette's study reveal that the lower your cholesterol, the earlier you die.

Improving VITAMIN D levels works better than diabetic drug Metformin for improving insulin sensitivity.

Low vitamin D is associated with insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction in diabetics and young adults who are apparently healthy.

Healthy adults with higher serum 25(OH)D levels had significantly lower 60 min, 90 min and 129 min postprandial glucose levels and significantly better insulin sensitivity than those who were vitamin D deficient.

The authors noted that, compared with metformin, which improves insulin sensitivity by 13%, higher vitamin D status correlated with a 60% improvement in insulin sensitivity. Now that’s impressive!

In another recent clinical trial using 1,332 IU/day of vitamin D3 for only 30 days in 10 women with type 2 diabetes, vitamin D supplementation was shown to improve insulin sensitivity by 21%.

FRIENDLY BACTERIA ACTIVATES MORE THYROID HORMONE

The thyroid hormone T4 (which represents close to 90% of the circulating thyroid hormone in the blood) is inactive until it is converted into T3 which is the active form of thyroid hormone.

20% of the T4 in your body must be converted into the active form (T3) in the GI tract by the enzyme sulfatase.

This conversion of inactive thyroid hormone into active in the GI tract is dependent on healthy colonies of beneficial bacteria.

An imbalance in the ratios of bacteria in the GI tract can lead to low thyroid function.

This explains why so many patients with thyroid hormone imbalances also have digestive problems and “normal” thyroid blood chemistry panels.

Every practicing physician should have learned this in medical school.......yet how many conventional physicians will prescribe probiotics (good bacteria) to their hypothyroid patients?

As women get closer to menopause, their production of hormones from the ovaries gradually declines. The first hormone to start to decline is progesterone and women may start noticing irregular or even missed cycles with occasional bouts of hot flashes or night sweats.

In my experience, I find that women with poor adrenal function tend to have the most severe symptoms. The adrenal glands not only produce hormones that help the body deal with stress but they are also a secondary source of the s*x hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone converted from DHEA and pregnenolone.

Ovarian function starts to gradually decline as women get closer to full blown menopause. This puts more stress upon the adrenal glands to pick up the slack for the ovaries. If the ovarian function is declining and the adrenals are overtaxed, the body will start putting on unwanted body fat in an attempt to make estrogen from the body’s fat cells.

Estrogen has over 400 functions in the body, one of those is to make the hormone insulin work better. When insulin is working properly, the ability to maintain proper body weight is easier. Estrogen also helps the formation of neurotransmitters in the brain such as serotonin which decreases depression, irritability, anxiety and the cravings for sugar and carbohydrates.

A proper balance of estrogen and progesterone becomes crucial at this point in a woman’s life not only for preventing weight gain but for preventing the symptoms associated with low estrogen due to full blown menopause.

Women that are in perimenopause still tend to have an occasional menstrual cycle but lack adequate progesterone for consistency and are prone to be progesterone deficient and estrogen dominant. Even women that are not considered peri-menopausal can present with symptoms of estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency.

Vitamin A or retinol is a fat-soluble vitamin, like vitamin D. Adequate levels in the body are extremely important for normal vision, proper immune function, and reproductive health in both s*xes.

Vitamin A is also essential for proper thyroid function, as well as other glands and organs of the body such as the heart, kidney, lungs and our skin.

There are 2 different forms of vitamin A;

✔️ Retinol-which is only found in animal-based foods

✔️ Beta carotene- which is found in fruits and vegetables like carrots, greens, tomatoes and other fruits.

The problem with beta carotene is that it’s the INACTIVE form of vitamin A. For it to work in the body it actually needs to be converted over to vitamin A.

This conversion process occurs in the liver, which requires adequate thyroid hormones as well as other nutrients like iron, zinc and B-vitamins.

Vitamin A deficiency can therefore be a big problem for vegans and possibly vegetarians, so checking vitamin A levels are even more important for this certain population of people.

The Ideal range for vitamin A is between 75-98 mcg/dL.

DO YOU HAVE A HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE?

I frequently get patients that present to my office complaining of allergy symptom (nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, possible hives, itching, headaches and even coughing or wheezing), but when an allergist or myself tests them for food or environmental allergies, all the tests come back negative.

These patients are typically suffering from something called histamine intolerance. Histamine is a very important compound in the body and actually helps the body's systems function effectively. It increases blood supply to specific areas of the body, regulates stomach acid, muscle contraction and balances inflammatory mediators in the body.

Most of us are familiar with the actions of histamine as they relate to responses to an allergic reaction whether its inhaled, digested or contact. While histamine has many beneficial physiological effects in the body, too much can lead to problems for people with histamine intolerance.

A person's histamine tolerance varies according to their threshold, or how much histamine their body can tolerate before experiencing symptoms. Histamine intolerance occurs when the level of histamine in the body, exceeds this threshold and the person's ability to break down histamine. Because histamine is not only produced in the body, but is also present in a variety of the foods we eat, individuals with a low threshold may experience symptoms by consuming moderate or low amounts of foods that contain or trigger the release of histamine.

Within the body, histamine is broken down by an enzyme called DAO. Normally DAO can easily degrade ingested histamine but some patients may not make enough DAO or they are eating an excessively high amount of high histamine foods and symptoms can emerge.

COMMON HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE SYMPTOMS:
headache, migraines, vertigo, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, low or high blood pressure, flushing, hives, itching, diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, gas and heartburn.

HISTAMINE RICH FOODS:
fish, cheese, sauerkraut, smoked meats, tomatoes, ketchup, soy sauce, alcoholic beverages (beer,wine), chocolate, cocoa

FOODS THAT LIBERATE HISTAMINE
shellfish, nuts, sees, wheat germ, buckwheat, black and green tea, spinach, eggplant, avocado, vinegar, mustard, pickles, olives, certain fruits (strawberries, cherries, bananas, pineapple, kiwi, papaya, mango, raspberries, pears, dried fruits and all citrus fruits.

What I found personally, because I have a slight histamine intolerance myself, is that I can eat most of these foods without a problem but if I eat certain combinations of these foods at the same time while lets say my seasonal allergies are acting up, I tend to get more symptoms.

A quick story about how I discovered that I had a histamine intolerance:

About 6 years ago my wife made a recipe that she found online called avocado pudding. It contained of course avocado but also cocoa powder and a couple other ingredients and after I ate it I immediately felt my sinuses fill up, my eyes start to water, and my throat got very itchy and swollen. I immediately thought that I was having an allergic reaction but couldn't understand it because I had always been able to eat chocolate and avocado in the past without any of these symptoms. For me, the combination of these 2 high histamine containing foods put me over my threshold and I developed symptoms. Once I learned about histamine intolerance, it all made sense to me and now I'm more cautious about my food combinations and when I go out to eat or eat over someone's house and have less control over exactly what is in my food, I simply take 2 capsules of my Aller-relief product and I do just fine.

One last thing to note - in my practice I have found that patients with chronic headaches and migraines tend to suffer from histamine intolerance and watching dietary choices (avoiding allergenic, sensitive and high histamine foods) and certain food combinations, working on the GI tract (healing leaky gut) and taking enzymes and probiotics, chronic headaches and migraines can be eliminated by almost 100%.
