Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, have become common due to genetic predisposition and external factors like stress. Stress increases cortisol and adrenaline levels, affecting thyroid function. Managing stress involves deep breathing exercises, meditation, regular exercise, healthy food, sufficient sleep, living in the present, maintaining work-life balance, and seeking professional help. Chronic stress has been shown to affect the thyroid gland in some studies.

Dr. Dean Ornish and his colleagues are conducting the first randomized controlled trial to determine if the progression of early stage Alzheimer’s disease may be slowed, stopped, or perhaps even reversed by a comprehensive lifestyle medicine program, without drugs, devices, or surgery.

This lifestyle medicine program includes a whole foods low-fat, low-sugar plant-based diet; moderate exercise; stress management techniques including meditation; and psychosocial support.

Results will be published on this website when research is concluded.

Everyone knows that heart disease = lack of blood flow. Stroke in the brain typically = lack of blood flow. Impotence = lack of blood flow to the Johnson. Less are aware that lack of blood flow is major cause of blindness and hearing loss. I call this “TBI” = Total Body Ischemia. Ischemia is most common cause of back pain = title of book I wrote about the spine. Video explains how ischemia causes back pain. To prevent spine ischemia, one does the same things as they do to optimize blood flow to every part of the body. The different types of treatment for back pain are briefly discussed.
