Your thyroid gland is like your body's gas pedal. When it's cruising at the right speed, you feel great. But when it's not "giving enough gas" or not producing enough thyroid hormone, you feel like you're driving in slow motion with one foot on the brake pedal. But many hypothyroid symptoms are so similar to adrenal […]

Some people with chronic fatigue syndrome say they have trouble staying on top of their responsibilities at home and on the job, while others are severely disabled and even bedridden. Furthermore, they're not just dealing with extreme fatigue but with a wide range of other symptoms, including flu-like symptoms and chronic pain. CFS affects more […]

Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 2% to 4% of the population. Nine in ten fibromyalgia patients are female. Fibromyalgia has been referred to as a "stress-related disorder" because stress both precedes its onset and aggravates its symptoms. Some theories suggest that fibromyalgia may result from stress-induced changes in the hippocampal area of the brain; others from stress-induced […]

Learn about the symptoms of adrenal dysfunction including fatigue and muscle weakness. The adrenal glands are located on the top of each kidney, and they secrete hormones that are responsible for a wide range of metabolic processes. When the adrenal glands become overactive or under active, hormone level changes can cause a number of potentially […]

Many people these days go through their lives feeling stressed, sluggish, fatigued, irritable, desperately trying to clear up that mental fogginess with coffee or other stimulants, just to crash worse afterwards. But it is not normal. Many health experts believe that upwards of 80% of the population suffers from some level of adrenal insufficiency. This […]

Should human growth hormone be used as an anti-aging agent? Some people use the hormone in quite massive doses, along with other performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids, to build muscle and improve athletic performance. This approach has been proven unsafe and often generates negative side effects, leading to a very controversial subject of whether to […]

Over 70% of women with low libido have a hormonal imbalance that can often be corrected. The three major hormones that have the greatest effect on libido are: testosterone, progesterone and estrogen.

Testosterone is the primary androgen produced by the testes and it plays an essential role in the health of the male. Statistically, men are consistently more at risk of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease than women, and the gender-specific effects of sex hormones are implicated in this inequality. Reliable current studies now show that […]

More isolative research pinned indole-3-carbinol (I3C) as the responsible nutrient with cancer fighting properties, contained by these vegetables. What Is Indole-3-Carbinol? Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is derived from the hydrolysis (breakdown) of glucobrassicin, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, collards, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, turnips, and rutabagas. In 1978, Dr. Leo […]

Testosterone is the primary androgen produced by the testes and it plays an essential role in the health of the male. Beyond determining the male sex and characteristics, testosterone is a determinant of muscle strength, bone mass, libido, potency and spermatogenesis. How And Why Do Men Experience Andropause? It has been found that even in […]

Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by either a gland or a cell. They are sent then to another part of the body for utilization. Within the Endocrine System, the Hypothalamus and the Pituitary (in conjunction with the brain) are the "master regulators" upon which all regulatory function of all other elements of metabolism […]
