guest: Irene Hogan / Mediterranean Diet
Researchers have found that sticking to a full Mediterranean diet can help reduce deaths from major chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, further bolstering the diet's reputation as a model of healthy eating characterized by low intake of meat, dairy products and alcohol, but high intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil, grains and fish. People who kept to the full Mediterranean diet also had lower mortality! This meta-analysis research pooled data from 12 international studies that was conducted by researchers at the University of Florence and was published on 11th September in BMJ.
Previous research on the diet that was followed by populations bordering the Mediterranean Sea had suggested it protects against cardiovascular disease and cancer, but until this study, no research had yet pooled all the data available to examine the link to premature death and incidence of chronic diseases in the general population.
The researchers suggested that an "adherence score" based on how closely a Mediterranean diet is followed could be used as an effective prevention tool for reducing the risk of premature death in the general population!
SO WHAT IS THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET?
The Mediterranean diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating — plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps a glass of red wine — among other components characterizing the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
Key components of the Mediterranean diet include:
- eating a generous amount of fruits and vegetables
- consuming healthy fats
- eating small portions of nuts
- drinking red wine in moderation (no more than 1 glass a day)
- consuming very little red meat
- eating fish on a regular basis

Researchers have found that sticking to a full Mediterranean diet can help reduce deaths from major chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, further bolstering the diet's reputation as a model of healthy eating characterized by low intake of meat, dairy products and alcohol, but high intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil, grains and fish.

Guest: Irene. ( Stress & Hormone Balance )
Chronic Stress and a Woman's Body
When a woman experiences prolonged stress, pregnenolone, a hormone essential for both coping with stress and producing female hormones, is diverted from the normal hormone pathway. As a result, the production of female hormones is compromised. This condition can cause a multitude of symptoms including irritability, mood swings, headaches, sleeplessness, and weight gain.
Female hormone imbalances can be treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It does not address the probable root cause: stress. Before a woman begins hormone therapy, it is necessary to assess whether her hormones are reacting to factors that are internal or external.
Stress plays a big part is reducing our levels of progesterone which results in … too much estrogen.
Here’s how: Progesterone is the “mother of all hormones.” It is the precursor and essential raw material out of which the body created ALL THE OTHER HORMONES. As the precursor to all the other hormones in the body, the adrenal glands and adrenal hormones are no exception. If you encounter a mildly stressful situation your body draws on its progesterone to produce the hormones (adrenal corticosteroids) to counteract it. These are the hormones that protect against stress. BUT, if your body is in a constant or permanent state of stress it can’t provide enough progesterone to be converted into anti-stress hormones and the result is adrenal exhaustion and no left over progesterone for other normal body functions.
Both high and low cortisol levels impact body systems and related hormones, particularly thyroid and testosterone. In times of high stress the adrenals will also "steal" progesterone from its reproductive duties to make extra cortisol, thus the imbalance of estrogen/progesterone. Energy, mood, bone muscle and sex drive are the casualties making us feel old before our time.
You can restore health and energy by supporting adrenals glands in a daily way:
- engage in non-competitive gentle exercise.
- avoid caffeine pick-me-ups.
- drink plenty of water
- eat mostly organic hormone-free food.
- take anti-stress multi vitamins ( B complex & C)
- avoid chemicals and pollutants
- get enough sleep and take naps when needed
- be open to love & laughter

Here’s how: Progesterone is the “mother of all hormones.” It is the precursor and essential raw material out of which the body created ALL THE OTHER HORMONES. As the precursor to all the other hormones in the body, the adrenal glands and adrenal hormones are no exception. If you encounter a mildly stressful situation your body draws on its progesterone to produce the hormones (adrenal corticosteroids) to counteract it. These are the hormones that protect against stress. BUT, if your body is in a constant or permanent state of stress it can’t provide enough progesterone to be converted into anti-stress hormones and the result is adrenal exhaustion and no left over progesterone for other normal body functions.
Both high and low cortisol levels impact body systems and related hormones, particularly thyroid and testosterone. In times of high stress the adrenals will also "steal" progesterone from its reproductive duties to make extra cortisol, thus the imbalance of estrogen/progesterone. Energy, mood, bone muscle and sex drive are the casualties making us feel old before our time.
You can restore health and energy by supporting adrenals glands in a daily way:
- engage in non-competitive gentle exercise.
- avoid caffeine pick-me-ups.
- drink plenty of water
- eat mostly organic hormone-free food.
- take anti-stress multi vitamins ( B complex & C)
- avoid chemicals and pollutants
- get enough sleep and take naps when needed
- be open to love & laughter

Body detoxification and cleansing programs are meant to help clear the body's natural toxin filters and return your system to a natural balance and homeostasis. Think of them not as a method of weight loss, but more like clearing the lint from your dryer. Cleansing and detoxing will help your body run at optimum capacity.
In our everyday life, there are things that we encounter that aren't good for us in everything, including the air we breath, the water we drink and the foods we eat. Even the cleaning products we use in our homes release toxins that we absorb through our skin and lungs. What does a detox program do to your body? It stimulates and supports two of the body's natural filters, the liver and kidneys.
When should you do a detox?
It's best to have detoxification as part of your lifestyle. For structured detoxes, once or twice a year is good.
The best time to do it is in the spring and summer when it's warmer and the days are longer. That's when your body is in a good "renewal" phase. In winter, your body is busy working hard to stay warm. Most importantly, only do a structured detox when you have the time to rest -- your body will be working hard at getting cleaned up!
Whenever you choose, be sure you are doing it for the right reasons. Detoxing is not a weight loss method.
What would a basic detox consist of?
Elimination of foods, including the following, would be a good start: sugar, processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners. Some people also switch to organic cleaners to give their bodies a break.
What about those detoxes where you just drink juice? Are they any good?
Detoxing programs where you're not eating can be dangerous. They stress the immune system. Also, when you're not eating, you're not eliminating, and that means you're not getting all of the bad stuff out of your system.
Are there harmful detoxes?
Be smart and listen to your body. Some commercial detoxes work by stimulating bowel movements. Avoid detoxes like that as they can strip your body of all the good bacteria. Also, many store-bought detox programs contain herbs that can interact poorly with prescription drubs. Definitely check with your doctor before trying anything.
How will a detox make you feel at the end?
Most people say they feel more energetic, have greater mental clarity and better concentration after a detox. Some also report reduces symptoms of menopause, arthritis and asthma. The objective of a detox is to provide the body with support in doing what it's supposed to do, healing itself.
