I use this frequently in my practice. If you have experience with this treatment, please consider writing a brief message about how it has helped you. We've already had many products removed and I'd hate to lose such a powerful tool like glutathione!

On May 18th, we learned that FDA staff are recommending to ban compounded glutathione. We have a small window to help reverse their position, and we need your help. The Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) - the committee that advises the FDA on this matter- will meet on June 8, 2022, to d...

Imbalances in your hormones are triggered by bad food. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you eat sugar, you’ll produce more insulin, more estrogen, and more testosterone. Any type of flour and sugar can lead to these imbalances. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Dairy and gluten are often triggers for inflammation and hormonal imbalances. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Xenobiotics or environmental chemicals like pesticides in our food can act like powerful hormone disruptors and trigger our own hormones to go out of balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We know that sugar, caffeine, alcohol, stress, and lack of exercise all contribute to worse PMS and all hormonal imbalances – including menopause.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After removing the bad stuff, you will want to replace it with good stuff. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Eat a whole, real, unprocessed, organic, mostly plant-based diet with organic or sustainably raised animal products. When you focus on this type of diet, you minimize intake of xenoestrogens, hormones, and antibiotics. Taking simple steps like choosing organic food and drinking filtered water can hugely impact hormone balance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Getting good quality sleep every night and exercising regularly can help balance your hormones. Along with supplementing with Omega-3, vitamin D3, B vitamins, magnesium, and probiotics. ⁣

Data suggests that the ketogenic diet can limit glucose availability to tumors, leading to a slowing of tumor growth in some animal models of cancer. But some researchers have questioned what the resultant increase of ketones has on energy status within the tumor. Can it reverse this effect?

On a ketogenic diet, the body produces and uses ketone bodies such as BHB as a fuel source. Some researchers suggest that under such conditions, cancer cells could adapt to utilizing BHB for energy, thus rendering the ketogenic diet unproductive. A study published in the journal Oncology Letters investigated this potential impediment.

The study tested the growth of two different breast cancer cell lines under glucose deprivation. In both cell lines, growth was decreased with low glucose. Importantly, proliferation was not increased when ketones in the form of BHB were provided. Thus, this study presents evidence that even under stressful conditions of no glucose, these two breast cancer cell lines either could not, or would not, compensate by using ketones. The authors saw significant changes in expression of multiple genes, but no significant changes in the metabolic pathways investigated.

The results of this study suggest that glucose deprivation may selectively target some cancer cells, while allowing normal cells to utilize ketones as their energy source once ketosis is induced. It’s unclear whether or not this holds true in other cancer models, and more research is needed.

These studies were performed in cell culture studies, and the authors warn that a subgroup of patients whose cancers show an increased expression of certain ketone catabolic enzymes may experience a detrimental effect on the ketogenic diet. It is important to speak with professional health care providers before adopting a dietary change. Read more about the study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7709568/

Did you know...

Myths and misconceptions about women’s bodies have been perpetuated for centuries - and have left us misinformed about our hormones and health - sometimes even putting us at risk as a result. Separating fact from fiction can help clarify what’s normal and ease some of the worries and stress so many of us have about our bodies.

Here are some of the myths I hear from women – and the actual truth.

YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS YOUR BODY BETTER THAN YOU: It can be hard to trust yourself, especially if your doc is telling you that you’re ok. We’re raised on the expert-knows-best’ model. But if you’re having symptoms that are affecting your well-being, something has changed from your normal, or you feel something off, trust your instincts.

THERE’S ONE PERFECT DIET: Not only are food and nutritional needs unique, but they change throughout life cycles. What you needed in your teen years will not be the same as your childbearing years, pregnant years, breastfeeding, menopause and all those subtle changes in between.

PERIOD PAIN IS NORMAL: While we may experience occasional cramps of pelvic heaviness, your period should never feel like a sentence of suffering. It should not require you to pop pain meds each month, and you shouldn’t have to stop your life because of it. This can be a sign of inflammation, elevated estrogen, or an underlying gynecologic condition like endo.

IF YOU DON’T GET PREGNANT IN 6 MONTHS YOU NEED A FERTILITY CONSULT:
On average by 18 months, 90% of women will get pregnant. Couples in their late 30s have a 91% chance of conceiving naturally within 2 years. A fertility work-up can be considered if you’re under 35 and have been trying to conceive for a year without success, or if you’re 35+ and have been trying for 6 months.

TAKING THE PILL IS NBD - the Pill comes with a list of side effects, mild to severe, to be aware of. Depression, flares or new onset of autoimmune conditions, blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes are among the most serious. It also depletes nutrients, including folate, vitamins B2, B6, B12, C, E, and D, magnesium, selenium and zinc.

Did you know July is National Blueberry Month?

Here are some facts about blueberries you might find interesting:

🔹The United States produces over 90% of all of the blueberries in the world
🔹The diverse and wondrous health benefits of blueberries are primarily due to their high content of specialized pigments known as anthocyanins
🔹These special flavonoids are responsible for the deep blue or purple color of blueberries
🔹Currently, the most popular medical use of blueberries is their use in improving vision and protecting against age-related macular degeneration
🔹Additional research also points out that blueberries may be protective against the development of cataracts and glaucoma, and are quite therapeutic in the treatment of varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and peptic ulcers
🔹Another very practical application of the antioxidant activity of blueberries is in the protection against age-related cognitive decline
🔹While blueberries are an excellent food, a blueberry concentrate with all the anthocyanin-power of fresh-picked blueberries is a convenient way to gain all of the health benefits
🔹Two 500 mg capsules of a 36:1 blueberry concentrate is equivalent to ¼ cup of fresh blueberries. For general health, take two capsules daily
