The one natural remedy that almost nobody knows about.
If you are experiencing hormone-related weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, or even arthritis and osteoporosis, there is one simple hormonal solution that you should know about.
It’s called pregnenolone.
It’s the one hormone that the body uses to make all the others—like DHEA, cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. Pregnenolone, however, unlike its more highly publicized “daughter” dehydroepiandrosterone (or DHEA) can also transform itself into progesterone, for which it has a biochemical bias.
This puts pregnenolone in a league of its own because it can… Continue reading Categories

A powerful healing secret to beautiful legs.
There is probably not a more frustrating topic than unsightly varicose veins. It’s starting to become a major source of concern among so many of my female clients.

Plus if your oral hygiene is less than optimal, you may also be at risk of developing varicose veins despite your gender… Continue reading Lift Depression Naturally

Wave those February blues goodbye with Ultra H-3.
Paxil, Lexapro, Prozac and Zoloft.
Everybody is on something these days— even children and teens. By some estimates antidepressants are the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States accounting for over 118 million prescriptions per year.
As the noted psychiatrist Dr. Carl Pfeiffer once said, “For every drug that benefits a patient, there is a natural substance that can achieve the same effect.” And when it comes to depression— one of the most widespread disorders affecting over 30 million Americans—I’ve found it.

Your thyroid plays an enormous role in heart health.
At least 20 million Americans have some kind of thyroid disorder—and all too many go undiagnosed. Although most stats suggest that one out of eight women suffer from thyroid problems, I believe the actual number is much higher—at least 20% of postmenopausal women and even closer to 40% in some populations.
That's a real problem—and not just because your thyroid regulates everything from digestion and muscle function to the integrity of your skin. This tiny gland, located just below your voice box, also controls the… Continue reading Put Your Best Face Forward
