Radio Naturopath Episode 461: Menopause and Weight Loss

This week I’m playing a lecture I recorded a while ago, about menopause and weight loss. I talk about how it’s harder to lose fat after menopause, and why. It’s all about the cortisol! Get that cortisol down and it will help. Also, having a little extra weight on after menopause is actually good, because the […]

This week, I talk about my jump to the Dark Side. Well, not really. Hey, did you know that the term “going to the Dark Side” was popularized by Star Wars? I’m going to try another BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION, and hopefully this time I can take it and stay on it! We’re going to try […]

Radio Naturopath Episode 459: Hypertension, Hibiscus, L-theanine, CBD; Weight Loss and Stress Reduction

This week I talked about how I tried hibiscus tea and it pretty much knocked me out, so if I do hibiscus it has to be in very small amounts!

Radio Naturopath Episode 455: Lyme and Bartonella and the Long Haul

This week, we talked about the long haul and Lyme disease. The idea is that you have to treat for a long time, some say at least a year, and definitely until you have been symptom free for 2 months. Treating for that long can be WEARING, but to successfully treat this sticky, insidious, difficult illness […]
