Dangers Of HRT Are Still Being Ignored

23/10/12

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is like a horror movie villain who won’t die.

Year after year, that’s how it’s been with pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy.

In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study linked HRT to a sharply increased risk of breast cancer.

Are You Suffering From This Invisible Illness?

23/07/12

Stress prompts your adrenal glands to produce a hormone called cortisol. It helps you cope and keeps you alert. Adrenals also produce DHEA, an energy hormone. But when stress becomes chronic, cortisol production stays high. Then DHEA levels drop and fatigue sets in. Your stamina wanes. You can’t concentrate.

And that’s when your body sends that signal: Get me a cuppa Joe — now!

But that cup of strong coffee won’t save you… neither will the next one and the one after that. It will give you a boost. You’ll feel better for the moment. But then you need another, and another, and another…

The good news is that you can break free of this rut, get your hormones back on track, and literally turn your whole life around.
