A pregnancy that is running smoothly is a huge metabolic demand on your body, in essence a form of stress in and of itself. The last thing you need is more energy-sapping stress. Trying to do too much (which can simply mean your formerly normal routine) or having to deal with emotional tension or pressures is key factors that must be managed well. Women...

When stress pressures start to rev up, numerous systems in your body start to respond. This heightened rate of metabolic demand naturally produces more inflammatory trash as a byproduct. Like a power boat speeding through the water, the wake (inflammatory trash) is based on how fast you are going. If you are already low on energy then your power boat is...

Substance P is a neuropeptide that is a common regulatory compound within your nerves. It is released primarily in your brain stem and in nerve endings. It is released in small amounts on a regular basis as part of normal function of nerves. It is also released in larger amounts as the main way your body processes physical pain and intense stress. Under...

Stress implies that there is an increased need for energy. Leptin, which is overall in charge of your body's energy spending systems, also regulates your adrenal and nervous system response to stress. When leptin systems work efficiently you have a better ability to tolerate stress, do not feel wired up or exhausted from stress, and do not eat in response...

Good sex drive for women is a combination of managing your life well, getting adequate sleep, supporting your adrenals, and clearing inflammation out of your nerves while boosting endorphin concentration. Female Plus™ is the basic product that helps many aspects of hormone metabolism and many women notice improved sex drive as a result. Strengthener Plus™...

Cold hands, cold feet, and cold nose reveal clues about circulation and body temperature. Impaired thyroid and adrenal fatigue are the most common causes of low body temperature. Learn about the key points for solving low body temperature distress.

Nearly 7 out of 10 Americans take prescription drugs. More than half take two drugs. Senior citizens, 65 and older, take on average 14 or more prescription drugs per year. This creates a major concern with negative drug interactions and nutrient depletions.

As stress piles up in young adults, sleep time decreases. The result is a nasty catch-22; a lack of sleep affects daytime mood, and a poor daytime mood affects the ability to sleep.

Dopamine is an important nerve transmitter involved with reward. It is released when you eat, so that you know eating is good and thus you will survive. Some individuals don't release a normal amount, thus they eat more to get the same feeling of satisfaction that someone else gets eating less food. A new study with advanced brain imaging while...

Researchers evaluated the findings from 111 recent studies on exercise and brain function and came to the conclusion that both aerobics and strength training are of great value to brain health at every age. This is especially the case for helping to maintain cognitive function in older age.

New concepts in the management of diabetes are taking center stage in our society because widespread dietary and lifestyle abuse has led to an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, teenagers, and young adults. The use of drugs to manipulate numbers and gene function within cells has thus far proven to be a miserable failure. Drugs do not restore...
