Improving Your G.I. Health with Balanced Hormones
In many cases, you can improve and maintain GI health by avoiding certain foods. You should definitely avoid junk, or processed foods. These foods contain many unnatural chemicals — just take a look at the ingredient list on the food labels. When those chemicals are absorbed into your body, your immune system responds to them.

The Difference between Food Allergies and Sensitivities
Food allergies are tremendously overlooked; almost everyone is allergic to something. It may not be an obvious, severe allergy, but if you’re having trouble losing weight or feeling unwell or fatigued most of the time, a food allergy or sensitivity may be behind your poor health. Specific food allergy testing is crucial to determining what’s going on in your body because everything you put in your body affects how you feel.

Medical Mondays: How are hormones and stress related?
I’m 47-years-old and I’ve been researching natural hormone replacement options to help me find some relief from my hot flashes and moodiness. Another big issue I’ve been dealing with is stress. I’ve always been high-strung, but lately I’ve noticed that I fly off the handle over the smallest of things. Is it true that hormones or lack thereof can make stress worse?

How to control and prevent hot flashes during menopause
Many different things can trigger a hot flash. Emotional triggers, such as embarrassment, are among the most common. Other hormonal issues can also be triggers for hot flashes. For example, if you take too much thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism, you may have a hot flash. Elevated cortisol levels due to stress can also lead to hot flashes. Other potential triggers include fluctuating blood sugar levels, any kind of adrenaline surge, alcohol and foods that contain MSG.

Medical Mondays: How can cosmetics affect my health?
I read that certain cosmetics (make-up, perfumes, deodorant, etc.) can affect hormonal balance and negatively impact our health. How can I be sure that the products that I use on a daily basis are safe and what exactly are the risks associated with using some of these products?
