When your adrenal glands have been working too hard for too long they simply may not be able to keep up. Sometimes this is triggered by emotional loss, physical pain, or simply prolonged stress. Things just start feeling too out-of-control or overwhelming. Your adrenals are the foundation for your entire ability to adapt to anything. This system talks to...

Cinnamon Plus™ contains cinnamon extract, coffee berry extract (decaffeinated), and banaba extract for healthy glucose metabolism. Cinnamon has been found to positively influence various health parameters often associated with proper insulin function, including natural support for healthy blood pressure and healthy metabolism of lipids (cholesterol and...

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is generally thought of as a message going from your pituitary gland to your thyroid gland, telling your thyroid to get going. In addition to this primary function of TSH, the new science shows that TSH directly communicates to the osteoblasts in bone (the bone building carpenters), who have TSH receptors on them. In...

While virtually any type of stress is potential wear and tear for bones. One form, too many toxins, can wreak havoc with bone strength and optimal bone health. For example, the cadmium in cigarettes is known to displace zinc within bone structure. This means that smoking is inherently weakening to your bone mass, not only because it reduces the flow of...

Your heart never gets time off for a vacation. Made up of four chambers, your heart is synchronized by nervous system control. The challenges you must overcome to keep your heart in optimal working condition are wear and tear to your heart's structure and its energy producing systems, and stress. A startling array of new science is showing that the...

Magnesium is a key mineral for your nervous system, heart, and overall circulation. It is required in your heart to support the heart muscle’s normal contraction-relaxation pumping actions. Your heart also requires a tremendous amount of energy to work properly, and magnesium is needed in the final step of all energy synthesis (ATP production). Your...

Hypertension, COPD, obstructive sleep apnea, poor cardiac function, and aorta stiffness are well known disorders linked with poor brain health and neurodegeneration. Hypertension in midlife has been associated with more brain atrophy in later life, but it is now understood that elderly with low blood pressure have more brain atrophy than those with...

The idea that the type of bacteria you have in your digestive tract can actually determine your eating behavior is something to pause for a moment and think about. I am saying that completely foreign bacteria can direct your subconscious brain how to behave in relation to food intake, a statement that is consistent with the latest study on the subject.

Every person over the age of 20 has declining bone health. More bone is lost than added from that point forward. This increases the risk of bone loss. There is another factor that influences bone health and it is seen in the fine print of prescription medication warnings. It is an elephant in the room as a risk factor for osteoporosis. It is drug-induced...

Researchers conducted a simple mouse experiment that showed eating a diet too high in fat causes a disruption of the 24-hour biological clock. While their experiment is simple, and their results not unexpected, the meaning of the results is profound.

Quality protein is the single most important calorie that helps you sustain, improve, build, and enhance multiple body systems, including weight loss and management.

Little fat blobs in your circulation, known as triglycerides, are now shown to be excessively elevated in 33% of Americans. These little fat blobs are turning out to be the best predictor of heart disease, especially when they are measured on a non-fasting basis.
