Aloha, A new year has started, giving us a fresh start. When reflecting on 2018, what lifestyle choices do you want to improve? For many working out more, eating healthier, and getting back on their program are common goals. What I love so much about the beginning of the year is the renewed energy we have. Of course, we can restart at any time in the year, but the beginning of the new year has an extra motivating feeling in life. I find in my life there is always room for improvement. When we become stagnant in growth, it begins to weigh heavily on the self-confidence and energy we exude. This

Aloha, I thought a lot this week about what to write and researched several great topics. However, I kept coming back to the holiday season and all the delicious foods we eat during this time. I know it can be difficult to control eating everything at the office, at home, or the amazing feasts from Thanksgiving to Christmas. During this time, I try to be mindful of portion control and remember it is fine to sample a little of everything. I also tend to worry about loved ones who suffer from diabetes and wonder how they control their urge to eat sweets during the holiday season. My father was d

Aloha! One of the most dreaded words for women is menopause. Many women embrace this natural change; however, other women are shocked when it happens to them. Personally, my body is going through menopause as a result of my cancer treatment. Unfortunately, I am very familiar with the constant hot and cold flashes women face during this difficult time. Have you realized what happens to your body besides the hot and cold flashes, or the joyous stop of your monthly cycle? What other changes take place within your body that cause these symptoms? Can you do anything to help compensate for what your

Did you know 40 million people are affected by anxiety disorders? This is a fact according to The Anxiety and Depression Association of America. I personally think anxiety and depression walk a fine line. And I suffer from both. For me, this really started to come out when my mom passed of breast cancer, followed by her older sister a few years later. I’m the first in my generation to fight cancer and so far, the only one to survive. As long as I keep my anxiety under control my depression is easier to manage. My anxiety levels increase significantly in certain situations such as social events

Men, want to know the #1 secret to good sex as we age? Nutrition consiting of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. This covers a lot of ground, but let’s shorten that distance. I see hundreds of men in my practice every year for Hypogonadism (medically low testosterone) with a serum total testosterone level below 400 ng/dl (very severe) creating severe fatigue. Hard to have sex, or even to consider performing, if you are exhausted! Assuming you have no trauma (pituitary, heart, testicles, or penis) and you are noticeably exhausted after sex, or too tired to get going, then it probably is your

This will be the first of many articles on glutathione, especially the reduced glutathione form known as GSH – the ideal glutathione or GSH product is reduced (GSH), stable, absorbable, efficacious, and patent-able. Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant. Our bodies depend on GSH for the removal of toxins and GSH is at the heart of all immune functions. Glutathione is a tripeptide (L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and Glycine) that is known as the most prominent nonenzymatic antioxidant in the human body, and is a substrate of a regulatory system of enzymes involved in regulating glutathione

Ask your clinician to specify whole blood, RBC, plasma, or intracellular method. Preanalytic handling is critical.

The test method and how the sample is protected after collection can affect this number.

This ratio is useful only when both measurements were made using a reliable paired method.

RBC, plasma, and cellular assays are not interchangeable.

Understand why homocysteine became a health topic and why lowering a blood number is not the same as preventing disease.
