Every week, I have foot massage, walk on the beach, eat salads and whole foods and tried to get adequate sleep. I want to avoid chronic inflammation from parasites, effects of high stress hormones and to prevent cancer and other auto-immune disease. Low stress can mean we work 4 days a week but high stressContinue reading “Parasites, stress, and auto-immune hormone connection”

Signs of Lupus in women
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known simply as lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in many parts of the body.[1] Symptoms vary between people and may be mild to severe. Common symptoms include painful and swollen joints, fever, chest pain, hair loss, mouth ulcers, swollen lymphContinue reading “Signs of Lupus in women”
Fish-rich Diets May Help Balance Leptin, a hunger hormone
Leptin is small protein that’s gotten a lot of press in the past few years. Because it’s able to act like a hormone, and is connected with fat metabolism, leptin has become a molecule of interest to many researchers – including drug companies – who see leptin as a possible tool in weight management. ResultsContinue reading “Fish-rich Diets May Help Balance Leptin, a hunger hormone”

Starvation, diet-induced obesity (unhealthy snacks) elevated triglycerides, decreased transport of leptin to brain lead to obesity
Obesity is associated with leptin resistance as evidenced by hyperleptinemia. Resistance arises from impaired leptin transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), defects in leptin receptor signaling, and blockades in downstream neuronal circuitries. The mediator of this resistance is unknown. Here, we show that milk, for which fats are 98% triglycerides, immediately inhibited leptin transport asContinue reading “Starvation, diet-induced obesity (unhealthy snacks) elevated triglycerides, decreased transport of leptin to brain lead to obesity”
Toxic chemicals /environmental toxins/carcinogens affect the estrogens/other hormones in our cells
When we wash pesticides from our produce, we do it because they alter our body cells and create an imbalance in our hormones. Some of these chemicals are estrogenic, affecting the normal estrogen levels in our body. When we eat corned beef, we add cabbage and tomatoes in the hopes that toxins will be excretedContinue reading “Toxic chemicals /environmental toxins/carcinogens affect the estrogens/other hormones in our cells”
