Effects of intense exercise on the female reproductive system
Women have become increasingly physically active in recent decades. While exercise provides substantial health benefits, intensive exercise is also associated with a unique set of risks for the female athlete. Hypothalamic dysfunction associated with strenuous exercise, and the resulting disturbance of GnRH pulsatility, can result in delayed menarche and disruption of menstrual cyclicity. Specific mechanismsContinue reading “Effects of intense exercise on the female reproductive system”
Phytoestrogens might have a role in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease
The role of free radicals in Alzheimer disease pathophysiology has been appreciated for a long time. Originally, radicals were considered as causative of oxidative damage. More recently their role as signalling molecules in this, as well as in other fields of free radical biology, has been underscored. Mitochondria are both generators and targets of radicalContinue reading “Phytoestrogens might have a role in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease”
Medical Tests for Women in Their 40s
Blood sugar Decades of eating the wrong food (think soda, hot dogs, fries — you get the picture) plus weight gain (often due to hormone changes) may have overworked your pancreas. It can’t keep up and that can lead to diabetes. By the age of 45, everyone should get a fasting blood sugar test andContinue reading “Medical Tests for Women in Their 40s”
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and metal toxins
From Wiki: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed. Over time the thyroid may enlarge forming a painless goitre. After many years the thyroid typically shrinks in size. Potential complications include thyroid lymphoma. H’s thyroiditis is thought to be due to aContinue reading “Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and metal toxins”
Long term use of certain pain relief medications linked with hearing loss among women

Neuroscience of gender differences by Wiki
Neuroscience of sex differences is the study of the characteristics of the brain that separate the male brain and the female brain. Psychological sex differences are thought by some to reflect the interaction of genes, hormones and social learning on brain development throughout the lifespan. Some evidence from brain morphology and function studies indicates thatContinue reading “Neuroscience of gender differences by Wiki”

Genetics of infertility, zinc, pituitary gland and Endocrine disruptors
About 10–15% of human couples are infertile, unable to conceive. In approximately in half of these cases, the underlying cause is related to the male. The underlying causative factors in the male infertility can be attributed to environmental toxins, systemic disorders such as, hypothalamic–pituitary disease, testicular cancers and germ-cell aplasia. Genetic factors including aneuploidies andContinue reading “Genetics of infertility, zinc, pituitary gland and Endocrine disruptors”
Have you lowered your cholesterol through lifestyle changes?
I chew my food more, added probiotics and some supplements (CQ10, folic+Vit B complex, Calcium+Magnesium+Zinc) and always avoided sugar (but still eats 3 bites of chocolates every other day. I breath more, watch my body for any signs of distress (skin issues, pains, lack of sleep, mouth health, sleep quality, urine color, others).

My experience working as nutritionist in a women’s health clinic
I worked as a nutritionist with two OB/GYN doctors who performed hysterectomies (surgical removal of ovaries and uterus) near O’Connor Hospital in San Jose many years ago. I got a copy of laboratory results of the patient from fecal, urine, blood and allergy tests. I then summarized health data and identified needed minerals, vitamins, wholeContinue reading “My experience working as nutritionist in a women’s health clinic”
Hypertensive smoking women have higher risk of fatal brain bleeding
Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is one of the most devastating cerebrovascular catastrophes causing death in 40 to 50% of the cases. The most common cause of SAH is a rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. If the aneurysm is found, it can be treated before the possible rupture. However, some intracranial aneurysms will never rupture – theContinue reading “Hypertensive smoking women have higher risk of fatal brain bleeding”
Study offers genetic explanation why cancer occurs commonly in males than females
In a new study, a group of Boston scientists, including researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, offer a genetic explanation for the age-old conundrum of why cancer is more common in males than females. Females, it turns out, carry an extra copy of certain protective genes in their cells – an additional line of defense againstContinue reading “Study offers genetic explanation why cancer occurs commonly in males than females”
