Radio Naturopath Episode 538: Lyme and Lymphatics, Summer Solstice, Resistance Training Extends Life
This week, I talked more about treating my Lyme disease with herbs and antibiotics, and some of the pitfalls. It's a slow process, good days and bad days. I also talked about how important it is to make sure your lymphatic system is functioning properly so that you can carry the waste products of the microbes out of your system. Food, exercise, herbs! Then we talked about the Summer Solstice, what it actually is and how to observe. We finished with a study that shows that resistance training can extend your life!
Radio Naturopath Episode 434: Health Benefits of Sex, Increase Libido Naturally
Here's a popular topic, why sex is good for you health! From reducing anxiety and depression to improving cardiovascular function to improving muscle strength and flexibility, sex has a lot to offer. We also talk about natural ways to increase sex drive and performance. We also get started on how caffeine can be problematic and will pick that up next week!
Radio Naturopath Episode 426: Too Much Caffeine and Sugar, Maintaining Healthy Bones and Osteoporosis
This week, I talked about how overdoing caffeine and sugar can be problematic, as it is for me. I explained the mechanism, how the neurotransmitters and the energy-slowing compound adenosine play into the highs and lows of caffeine use. Some people break down caffeine quickly, and don't have a problem. But some break it down slowly and can have a variety of symptoms. If you have autonomic dysfunction, like POTS, it can make the whole thing worse!
Then I moved on to more topics on aging, in honor of my just-passed 60th birthday. Today I focused on bone density and how to healthfully protect yourself from osteoporosis and fractures. Good nutrition and exercise are where it's at!
