Probiotics Help Lower Blood Pressure

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

  Honestly, what can’t probiotics do? They lift your mood, help digestion, alleviate constipation, boost your immune system, control yeast and fungal overgrowth, promote healthy skin, and now…   … lower blood pressure!     A recent meta-analysis looked at over 9 different clinical trials spanning over 500+ patients, and found that consuming probiotics lead to a decrease in systolic blood pressure by an average of 3.5 mmHg… …and the results were even more beneficial for folks who consumed more than one type of probiotic.   Folks consuming more than one species of probiotics had an average drop of 5.8 […]

But for many of us… shorter days and longer nights means a dip in our mood.   Fortunately, there are lots of great things to do to get prepared as the seasons change.   Of course there are things like pulling out your sweaters and boots and knitting a scarf or two and planting a winter garden and getting the chimney cleaned. But I want to share with you today

Pesticide Exposure and Autism

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Positive Parenting / By

There is ample proof to show that pesticides are contributing to the steep rise of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and developmental delay (DD.)   The latest study was published a few weeks ago on June 23, 2014 in Environmental Health Perspectives.   This study specifically links prenatal exposure of organophosphates (the most commonly applied agricultural pesticide) and other commonly used pesticides to autism rates in offspring.   Pesticides are neurotoxins that are clearly having a known, predictable and permanent effect on the developing fetal neurology during gestation. This particular study looked at northern CA residents (the state of CA alone

Coffee Decreases Your Risk of Diabetes

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

Published 3 months ago (April 2014) in Diabetologia, a new study found that drinking more coffee can dramatically decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.   This was a huge longitudinal study, looking at whether increasing or decreasing your coffee or tea intake changed the subsequent rate of type 2 diabetes development. Turns out, the answer is yes!   Although several large studies have previously shown that coffee drinkers have lower rates of diabetes, this study was novel in that it followed large cohorts of people who changed their coffee or tea intake, and then followed their actual diabetes

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

This month SUMMER BEGINS! So today I want to share with you the sunscreen that I personally use to protect my children’s tender skin and my own skin as well. I’ll also walk you through my thoughts on the whole sunscreen dilemma… for us it is only our THIRD line of defense against skin cancer and in many instances I’d rather use no sunscreen at all than use the chemical sunscreens on the market.   Why? Keep reading…   In years past, I’ve recommended Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30 powder, which is a powdered form of titanium dioxide that is micronized

Summer Skin: A Party For Yeast

Female Health, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

Yeast overgrowth is absolutely no fun. And it can really get worse in the warmer months as yeast love nothing more then moist, hot, sticky skin/mucosa to flourish on. I remember working with a sweet older female patient that was absolutely miserable with Candida growth all over her skin… and it was particularly bad underneath her breasts where they touched her upper abdomen.   Being that it was a particularly hot summer, she was hot and itchy and in her own personal hell! I was a bit more conventional back then, so I’m especially thinking of her as I type
