Medical Mondays: What is functional medicine?
I've been searching the internet for causes and treatments for hair loss in men. A lot of the information I've found points to my hormones. I started searching for hormone doctors and a term that I frequently come across is "functional medicine." What is functional medicine and how is it different from traditional medicine?

Celebrities with Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid imbalances occur when your thyroid isn't functioning optimally. Thyroid imbalances are caused by a variety of factors, including environmental toxins, medications, iodine intake and even genetics. An overactive thyroid, known as hyperthyroidism, occurs when the thyroid glands produce too many hormones for the body to handle. This can result in symptoms ranging from heart palpitations and anxiety to weight loss, heat intolerance and muscle weakness. Grave's disease is an incurable and more severe form of hyperthyroidism. On the contrary, Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland is producing too few hormones and is much more common. Some studies estimate that as many as 1 in 7 adults suffer from an underactive thyroid.

Medical Mondays: What are hormones and how do they work?
I've been considering starting bioidentical hormones. Ever since my mid 40's, I've been experiencing difficulty sleeping and on night's that I actually I do manage to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night, I wake up the next day feeling fatigued and lethargic. A girlfriend of mine told me that it could my hormones. I've been Googling a lot lately and a lot of the information on the internet doesn't really address the basics. My question is what exactly are hormones and how do they work?

Adrenal Fatigue Awareness
Your adrenal glands are a pair of small glands that sit just above your kidneys. They’re your stress glands, responsible for producing the hormones — particularly cortisol — that you need to induce a “fight or flight” response and deal with stress. However, when you’ve had too much stress, your adrenal glands can burn out, leading to adrenal fatigue.
I'm inching closer and closer to to the big 5-0 and I've noticed that I'm starting to get a beer gut. Is this normal for someone my age, regardless of diet? I like to think that I eat pretty healthy and I try to stay active, although it gets hard, working full-time and taking care of the kids. I would say I make it to the gym on average 2-3 times per week.

Reducing the Effects of Everyday Toxins on Your Health
There is no denying that the focus of healthcare has turned to preventive medicine and healthy lifestyle changes to combat disease and the effects of early aging. However, no matter how vigilant we are about our health, we are still affected by the toxins that seep into the air we breathe, the food we eat and much of what we drink.
