“The authors concluded that by reducing inflammation and stress hormone levels, omega-3 supplementation may boost cellular repair and slow aging. This decrease in stress response may also translate to reduced risk of depression, making these findings relevant to mental health as well.”

“The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (i.e., gut-brain axis) is formed by neural and endocrine connections between the hypothalamis, a brain region that controls body temperature, hunger, and sleep; the pituitary gland, a endocrine organ in the brain that produces hormones; and the adrenal gland…”

“Triclosan has also been linked to hormone disruption and drug-resistant bacteria. It has been found in the urine of about three-fourths of doctors and nurses. It is also among the most common chemicals to be detected in streams.”

“From the article: The average age at which women in both groups had started the menopause was similar, and analysis of the results showed that later menopause and use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) protected against the risk of a cerebral aneurysm, lessening the risk by 21% and 77%, respectively.”

“Characterized as having excessive body fat, obesity affects more than 650 million people worldwide and markedly increases a person's risk for many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and depression, among others.”

“The experimental treatment involves harvesting immune cells that are at the site of a tumor (from a biopsy), sequencing the tumor to find specific mutations, growing the patient's immune cells in a petri dish that specifically target the tumor (based on the genomic data), and infusing the immune cells back into the patient where they migrate to the tumor and kill cancer cells.”

“This could partially explain why people did not feel satiated after a calorically dense meal. Other studies have shown that sleep restriction also alters hormones that regulate satiety. Several studies have also shown that sleep restriction disrupts glucose metabolism.”

“Many of these people were severely deficient to start with. In fact, MS has been linked to genetically low vitamin D...meaning a gene that converts vitamin D into active vitamin D hormone does not work well in many MS patients so they need an unusually high dose of vitamin D.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that supplementation with calcifediol, an intermediate molecule in the production of the active form of vitamin D, reduces the risk of death due to COVID-19. Unlike other vitamins – trace nutrients that must be consumed in the diet – vitamin D is a steroid hormone that is produced in the body.”

“Weight loss is often part of the primary treatment of type 2 diabetes; however, some weight loss diets may have more insulin-sensitizing effects than others. Findings of one report show that a high protein weight loss diet can reverse prediabetes by increasing insulin-sensitizing hormones.”
