Hormonal balance and gut health are two buzz phrases that have certainly been hitting the headlines in recent years. It seems that every other day, another wellness influencer or brand is promoting another way to better balance hormones or improve the state of out gut microbiome.

Interestingly, however, the connection between the gut and hormones hasnt been as loudly shouted about despite an emerging body of research showing that the two areas of health are inextricably linked.

So, whats the connection and what does it mean for those of us trying to work towards better gut or hormonal health?

Our hormones are clever chemical messengers that have an important role to play in lots of our bodily functions, including digestion.Its the role of specific hormones to tell us when were hungry (ghrelin) and when were full (leptin), but even those not obviously associated with digestion have a key relationship with our gut.

Some vital hormones are actually produced by the bacteria present in our gut, explains registered nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert,author of The Science of Nutrition.

For example, did you know that 95% of serotonin (AKA our happy hormone) is produced there? Lambert says. Serotonin is also involved in the conversion of melatonin (our sleep hormone) and helps regulate our circadian rhythms. There is evidence that suggests our gut microbiome is involved in the regulation of oestrogen too, one of the main female sex hormones.

And lets not forget that the gut also has a key role to play in absorbing nutrients from our food and supporting the elimination of toxins. If your natural detox system goes off-piste, that can cause hormonal imbalances. On top of this, our GI tract also houses around 70-80% of our immune system and if this becomes disrupted, it can cause issues with our hormone levels.

If youre thinking this all sounds incredibly interconnected, thats because it is. Put simply, it means that if your gut isnt working as effectively as it should, hormone production can be impacted which has a knock-on effect on your mental and physical health.

Of course, it works the other way, too. High or low levels of certain hormones can impact the way our digestion works, leading to problems such as bloating, constipation, nausea or diarrhoea. You may have felt sick when stressed, or know only too well how fluctuations in our sex hormones can affect your bowel habits (yes, period poo really is a thing!).

Weve talked briefly about how serotonin and melatonin are impacted by gut health, but many more key hormones are also connected to the gut

Research shows there are microbes working in our gut that can tweak the amount of oestrogen in our bodies. This part of our microbiome is called the estrobolome and its a collection of bacteria in the gut capable of breaking down and changing the levels of circulating oestrogen in the body, explains DrFedericaAmati, a medical scientist and nutritionist at Imperial College London and personalised nutrition company ZOE.

On the other side, oestrogen and progesterone levels can also have a direct impact on our digestive system in terms of gut motility (how quickly food moves through our digestive system) and the composition of our microbiome.

High progesterone is associated with a slowing of gut movement, says Dr Amati. This is very useful in pregnancy when progesterone levels are high, as it gives our body more time to extract as many nutrients as possible from our food in order to help progress the pregnancy. But this can also cause constipation, so drinking plenty of water and eating fibre is very important during pregnancy and towards the second half of our menstrual cycle, when this hormone is also heightened.

High levels of cortisol and adrenalin have two main effects on our gut, explains Dr Amati. First, they drive us to prefer easy-to-absorb carbohydrates that require little effort to absorb for maximum energy. Second, they divert blood flow from our gut to our limbs, prioritising our ability to run away from the threat over the process of digesting a big meal.

That might sound pointless in an age of laptops and concrete, but it was an absolutely vital mechanism back in the day when we used to face imminent threats. Its less useful if we are in a state of chronic high stress due to perceived dangers such as being late for a deadline, Dr Amati says.

In fact, increased stress hormones have been linked to many digestive problems.Research suggests it can change the make-up of your microbiome, resulting in an increase in harmful bacteria. It can also affect gut motility and permeability (the ability of the gut lining to act as a barrier and stop bacteria and toxins from leaking into the bloodstream).

Its no wonder, then, that high levels of stress hormones have been linked to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease.

Interestingly, however, a healthy gut can have a beneficial impact on these hormones. If our gut is functioning properly, it can help to regulate our stress response and reduce anxiety.

Recent research has shown there are key differences between male and female gut microbiomes, and its even been given a name the microgenderdome. For example, studies have shown that irritable bowel syndrome and autoimmune diseases are much more common in women, and data indicates that our guts can show sex-specific responses to exactly the same diet. The main reason for that? The different hormone levels between the two sexes.

If youre in the habit of tracking your gut health, you might have noticed that your period coincides with symptoms like loose stools, tummy pain and bloating, says Laura Tilt, a registered dietitian and ambassador for probiotic supplement brand Symprove.

In one study of healthy women, 73% reported at least one gut symptom just before or during their period, most often abdominal pain and diarrhoea. The trigger for these symptoms is believed to be the drop in ovarian hormones which takes place just before your period. At the same time, theres a spike in prostaglandin hormones which cause the uterus to contract, and which causes the gut to contract too.

Hormonal shifts in our body caused by other events such as pregnancy can also impact our digestive system.

Gut health can be massively impacted by the changes in our body that happen during pregnancy, says Lambert. For example, as your baby grows, digestion slows down and the chance of constipation increases as a result.

During pregnancy there are also huge fluctuations in hormone levels. These changes, especially the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in early pregnancy, can cause nausea. This may lead to lack of appetite and therefore less diversity in the diet, which we know is associated with poorer gut health.

Theres the menopause to think about, too. Changes to levels of oestrogen and progesterone in the body at this time may cause slower digestion, which could lead to bloating or constipation.

Its important to remember that our hormones and gut are part of a much bigger system and are impacted by many things in our body (as well as each other). However, science shows they are key parts of the puzzle so how can we help our guts and hormones work in synergy andstay balanced?

While there is still much research to be done looking at the direct link between our guts and hormones, making sure we have a balanced and varied diet is important for many aspects of our health, including our gut and hormone health, says Lambert.

Its also important to make sure were getting good-quality sleep and managing our stress levels as this can have an impact on how our gut functions and our hormone levels.

Dr Amati adds that understanding and living in tune with how your body works can support your wellbeing.

Responding to our bodys hunger, tiredness and social signals and getting to know how we respond to food and hormonal changes is the first step in being able to live more intuitively, she says.

Working closely with women through major shifts in fertility, pregnancy and the menopause, I can see there is huge power in knowing how your body responds to fluctuations in our hormones and learning to harness your own existing biological power to maximise health, wellbeing and energy.

Amen to that.

Are your hormones wreaking havoc on your gut health? - Stylist Magazine

By Sophie Haslett For Daily Mail Australia 02:33 02 Mar 2023, updated 04:42 02 Mar 2023

If you're looking to shed weight this year, then you should avoid two popular diets that might do more harm than good, dietitians have claimed.

Susie Burrell and Leanne Ward - who are the co-hosts of the popular nutrition podcast The Nutrition Couch - highlighted extreme low calorie and detox diets as the 'worst' options you can follow if you want to lose weight long-term.

'On any given day, there are a number of different diets trending on social media or being aggressively advertised on TV, but when you're a dietitian, there are a couple that do more harm than good and drive us crazy,' Susie said.

EXTREME LOW CALORIE

The first you should steer clear of at all costs, the dietitians said, is an extreme low calorie diet - or one where you consume 500 or 800 calories per day.

'I have most disdain for diets that promote severe calorie restriction, or anything less than 1,000 calories,' Susie said.

'I'm thinking diets like the HCG diet or fasting approaches. I cannot tell you how frustrated I get when I see a 90 or 100kg female who has been religiously following an 800 calorie diet.'

The reason why she hates this diet is because while it might initially give you a one or two kilo weight loss quickly, this will immediately plateau as soon as you inevitably fall off the wagon and eat more - and it can even lead to weight gain.

'Remember, 800 calories is less than half what the average female requires on a day to day basis to get their nutrition,' Susie said.

'In the case of what it looks like, it's a couple of boiled eggs and a slice of toast, a tuna salad at lunch and a piece of boiled fish and veggies for dinner, with maybe a piece of fruit as a snack - every single day.'

She said that it is 'obvious' it will give immediate returns, but then as soon as you stop the weight goes back on and quickly:

'Metabolically, it does so much damage,' Susie added.

The reason why is because you're teaching your body to make do with less, so it goes into starvation mode and then clings on to any excess fat it can when you start eating normally again.

DETOX DIETS

The second diet the dietitians absolutely hate is anything that involves the word detox.

'The lemon water diet, the green juice detox diet - any kind of detox is an absolute no go,' Leanne said.

'The main reason why I hate them is because the weight loss is often just water weight or even muscle weight.'

Even if you follow a cold-pressed juice diet or lemon detox diet for a short period of time like two weeks, she said, you will lose a 'lot of muscle mass' - which isn't good for either the look or feel of your body.

'By all means, drink green juices if you want, but focus on great quality food and think about your nutrition,' Leanne said.

The dietitians are instead fans of balanced, 80/20 approaches - whereby they eat healthily 80 per cent of the time and allow themselves a little of what they love for the remaining 20 per cent.

Both Leanne and Susie try to fill their plates with a variety of protein, complex carbohydrates, vegetables, fruit and good fats like extra Virgin olive oil and avocado.

Then, if they want a piece of dark chocolate or a glass of red wine, they allow themselves 20 per cent of the time.

Susie Burrell has been in the headlines recently after her husband Chris Smith was sacked by Sky News and radio station 2GB in December, before checking himself in to a mental health facility.

Dietitians Susie Burrell and Leanne Ward reveal the two worst diets you can follow for your health - Daily Mail

You might have seen diets like quick weight loss diet, fastest weight loss diet, Lose 5 kgs in 1 week and more such diets on the web. These diets are often followed by those who are in desperate need of weight loss and wish to see quick results. But following such diets without consulting a doctor or a dietician can spell trouble for you, especially if you already have underlying health conditions. Read on to know the benefits and drawbacks of Fad Diets and how you can lose weight in the healthiest way possible. (all image credits-istock)

Diets that promote quick weight loss by resorting to extreme diet plans are known as Fad Diets. Atkins Diet, which promotes high-fat, low-carbohydrate meals, South Beach Diet, which restricts carbohydrates and promotes high-protein foods, Juice Cleanse revolves around consuming only fruit and vegetable juices for several days, Soup Diet, which includes only vegetable soups in diet, HCG Diet that involves taking the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) while consuming a limited amount of food and more such diets are examples of Fad Diets.

One and only benefit of Fad Diet is that it helps in losing weight, if followed religiously. Since these diets typically restrict certain foods or food groups, it leads to an extreme calorie restriction which finally results in fast weight loss. These diets do lead to weight loss and the quick weight loss that you see in the initial days of following such a diet is usually due to water loss that happens after bringing significant changes in eating habits that give a type of shock to the body.

Mostly, these diets come without any scientific evidence and this misinformation or incomplete research, and may even be harmful to health in the long term. Following Fad Diets, in the long run, can make you fall prey to extreme nutrient deficiencies and even health problems like kidney damage, heart problems, diabetes and even gallstones.

Since the quick weight loss done with Fad Diets is mostly water weight rather than actual fat loss, the weight you lose is often quickly regained when normal eating patterns are resumed, thus making you come back to square one.

Wondering how to lose weight in a healthy manner then? Well, losing weight needs to be a part of your lifestyle rather than just a few weeks diet that you have to follow and then turn back to your unhealthy eating patterns. You can easily lose weight by combining a calorie deficit diet with a workout. Make sure that you always consult a nutritionist or a certified dietician rather than plan weight loss diets on your own. In order to lose weight in a healthy manner and keep it away permanently, you must understand that weight loss is a slow process and be ready to devote enough time to healthy eating and exercising. Consistently eating balanced healthy meals with regular workouts can spell wonders for your body by not just making it lose weight but also by making it healthier.

The final weeks of a midterm campaign is when everyone, from political operatives to media outlets, drops their worst oppo. Thats when voters are paying the most attention and when a competitive race can break a certain way. Thats especially true with this falls Senate races, where a single battleground state may determine whether Mitch McConnell becomes majority leader again. The contest in Georgia just got rocked by a new round of accusations against Herschel Walker, which he denies. The former football star, challenging Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, has already survived a negative onslaught that would sink almost any other candidate. These range from an ex-wife charging threats and abuse to the emergence of previously unannounced children by a man whos crusaded for black fathers to do their duty. Hes tried to lighten this baggage by admitting to past mistakes and mental health problems, and at times has been in a statistical tie with Warnock. Now comes an allegation that is very difficult to explain away. TRUMP, MCCONNELL, EXTREME INSULTS AND A CLIMATE VIOLENCE Walker is 100% pro-life and would ban abortion in his state, likening it to murder, with no exceptions. So charges of hypocrisy took center stage when the Daily Beast reported an accusation by an ex-girlfriend that Walker paid for her abortion in 2009. He denies, this, calling it a flat-out lie. Heres the evidence involving the woman, who was not named: She supported these claims with a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic, a get well card from Walker, and a bank deposit receipt that included an image of a signed $700 personal check from Walker. The woman said there was a $125 difference because she ball-parked the cost of an abortion after Googling the procedure and added on expenses such as travel and recovery costs. Additionally, The Daily Beast independently corroborated details of the womans claims with a close friend she told at the time and who, according to the woman and the friend, took care of her in the days after the procedure. The woman said Walker, who was not married at the time, told her it would be more convenient to terminate the pregnancy, saying it was not the right time for him to have a child. Asked about the check by Fox News Sean Hannity, Walker said: I send money to a lot of people. I believe in being generous. Sorry, but thats a really weak response. What are the odds that a woman that Walker chose to be generous with just happens to be the one saying he paid for her abortion, and has a receipt from the clinic? And there is a one-two punch here, with Walkers 23-year-old son Christian, who has defended his father and campaigned with him, suddenly turning on him. Youre not a family man when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence, he tweeted. Herschel Walker responded: I LOVE my son no matter what. That brought even stronger language from Christian, with a tweet he later deleted: You have 4 kids that we know of and you werent in the house raising ONE of them, you were out cheating and lying. If you loved your kids youd be raising them instead of running for a senate race to boost your ego. Whats more, Christian said family members had discouraged his dad from running for the Senate because we all knew (some of) his past. There is something about a son turning on a father that feels more dramatic and persuasive than allegations from an ex-wife, which might be written off as the product of a bitter divorce. Christians mother, Cindy Grossman, has spoken of the time that Herschel held the gun to my temple and said he was going to blow my brains out. Grossman, who was married to him for two decades, has made an ad with such graphic allegations. Football legend or not, Walkers going to have a hard time outrunning the abortion allegation. In the Senate race in another battleground state, Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz trails Democrat and stroke victim John Fetterman by a half-dozen points in most polls. Oz isnow being hit with one allegation I view as totally fair game and another that decidedly is not. WHEN A MAJOR HURRICANE COLLIDES WITH OTHER NEWS, THE STORM PREVAILS The Washington Post leads off its piece this way: Mehmet Oz looked directly into the camera and introduced his daytime television viewers to a controversial weight loss approach: taking a hormone that women produce during pregnancy combined with a diet of 500 calories a day. Does it really work? Is it safe? Is it a miracle? Or is it hype? he asked in a 2011 episode of The Dr. Oz Show before introducing his audience to human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG, and to a weight loss doctor who promoted it. In fact, there was little uncertain about the HCG Diet. Numerous studies conducted years before Ozs show had shown that the fertility drug does not cause weight loss, redistribute fat or suppress hunger. Ten months later, the Food and Drug Administration warned seven companies marketing HCG products they were violating the law by making such claims, and the agency issued additional warnings to consumers in subsequent years. Nevertheless, Oz revisited the topic in 2012, providing a platform for the same weight loss doctor, who claimed that HCG worked. There are other examples, and the reason this is legitimate is that Ozs controversial promotions were debated for years when he was just a television celebrity. And that role, of course, formed the basis of his candidacy, that he was a successful entrepreneur who could be trusted. An Oz spokesman said the show was designed to present all kinds of views, and its idiotic and preposterous to imply that the doctor shared those beliefs. Which brings us to yesterday, when NBC used its website to promote anti-Oz piece that is, quite simply, outrageous: From 1989 to 2010, research by Dr. Mehmet Oz the television personality and Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania inflicted suffering on and killed over 300 dogs, 31 pigs and 661 rabbits and rodents. It was during Ozs time as a principal investigator at a Columbia University lab. The report was attributed to the website Jezebel. This is a ridiculous cheap shot, written by a professor with an obvious agenda, that implies Oz was some ghoulish dog-killer. The truth is that all doctors, scientists and researchers rely on animal testing when it comes to new drugs. Actually, its even worse: They are required by law to perform animal testing. SUBSCRIBE TO HOWIES MEDIA BUZZMETER PODCAST, A RIFF ON THE DAYS HOTTEST STORIES Oz is no different than all of his colleagues in the field. Now the deaths of these animals is of course regrettable, but the alternative testing potentially harmful drugs on humans is unthinkable. The activist professor, Brian Kateman, heads a foundation dedicated to reducing consumption of animal products. He sees irony in the Senate last week passing a new FDA law updated from 1938 that would eliminate the animal testing requirement. Thats a separate debate. But you cant turn around and demonize a doctor who was following a decades-old law just like everyone else in his field. This is just the beginning of the hit pieces and oppo research dumps and well see whether theyre mainly aimed at one political party.

Cigarette smoking is a common sight today, not only amongst adults but the youngsters too. While the habit of smoking is more of a social behaviour for many, its harmful consequences are only realized when the body starts breaking down. Although many are aware of the harmful effects of tobacco, they still continue to smoke, unaware that tobacco contains more than 60 dangerous chemicals, including carcinogens and cancer-promoting substances, which can infiltrate the body's numerous systems.

Smoking, chewing tobacco, or even keeping tobacco in your mouth for a long time can increase the risk of developing oral cancer. Oral cancer refers to the cancerous growth of some tissues in the mouth that can spread from the mouth to the nose, neck, and other areas, one of the most common being the tongue.

Tongue cancer

Tongue cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the tongue's cells. Tongue cancer most commonly develops in the thin, flat squamous cells that line the surface of the tongue. It occurs, like other cancers, when cells divide uncontrollably and accumulate to form a tumour.

There are two types of tongue cancers. One is known as oral tongue cancer because it affects the section of the tongue that can be projected out. The other takes place near the base of the tongue, where it joins your throat. This type of cancer, known as oropharyngeal cancer, is frequently detected after it has progressed to the lymph nodes in your neck.

Symptoms

The symptoms of tongue cancer may not be visible in the early stages, especially if the disease is towards the base of the tongue. A sore on the tongue that does not heal and bleeds freely is the most common early symptom of tongue cancer. There might be pain in the mouth or tongue.

Other symptoms of tongue cancer may include:

A persistent red or white spot on your tongue.

A tongue ulcer that causes pain during swallowing as well as mouth numbness.

Persistent sore throat.

Bleeding of the tongue with no cause.

A lump on the tongue.

Tobacco and oral cancer

Cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco are produced from dried tobacco leaves, and flavours and additives are added to make smoking more addictive. The smoke produced thus is a complex mixture of chemicals created by the combustion of tobacco and its additives. Tobacco smoke contains over 7,000 compounds, including over 70 recognized carcinogens. Cancers due to chewing tobacco, smoking and snuff usually begin with white patches inside the mouth. Tobacco affects the surface of the tongue, causing numerous changes like increased pigmentation or thickening of the palate.

Some of these chemicals can also cause heart and lung illnesses, and they are all potentially fatal. Toxins in cigarette smoke can damage the immune system, making it more difficult to eliminate cancer cells.

Treatment

Treatment for tongue cancer is determined by the size of the tumour and the extent to which cancer has spread. Early stages in the cancer when it has not spread can usually be treated with minor surgery to remove the afflicted area. Larger tumours are frequently removed by a partial glossectomy, which involves removing a portion of the tongue.

If a big portion of the tongue is removed, a reconstructive surgery is usually required. The goal of both the glossectomy and reconstruction surgery is to eliminate the malignancy while causing the least amount of damage to the mouth. In some cases, chemotherapy in combination with radiation is also recommended to treat cancer.

Preventive measures

Cigarette smoking and chewing tobacco have a higher chance of developing oral cancer. In fact, smokers are 10 times more likely to have oral cancer in comparison to the non-smokers. Thus, it is best to quit this addiction at the earliest by making lifestyle changes along with eating a balanced diet including lots of fruits and vegetables. Oral and tongue cancer can be prevented. Stop smoking after meals, during work breaks. Reduce smoking gradually to make the process easier. Identify the triggers and try to avoid them. Quitting smoking and chewing tobacco will help the body recover from the ill-effects of nicotine, breathe easy and safeguard the mouth from developing cancer. Those who are at a higher risk should schedule regular check-ups and health consultations with a physician.

HCG Diet InformationWhat is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG?HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin & is a very safe & mild hormone present in both males & females. This glycoprotein is composed of 244 amino acids.

Welcome to HCG Near Me, where access to a quality HCG Diet is always near you! If you do not live near the lovely Miami, FL area, no worries, we can ship your entire HCG Diet kit to you after a simple 10 to 15-minute telemedicine phone consultation. HCG Near Me is owned and operated by a licensed Health Care Clinic Establishment in Miami, Florida, and employs certified health professionals to ensure a quality medical weight loss program for all to benefit from.

The use of HCG for weight loss is not a new fly by night fad diet. This diet dates to the 1950s and has helped millions of people since then. It was created by a British endocrinologist named Albert Simeons. Dr. Simeons was studying pregnant women in third world countries and was absolutely fascinated at how these women, who were often malnourished, would give birth to regular sized babies. These women also had to work to survive and often walked everywhere burning plenty of calories.

Therefore, Dr. Simeons wanted to research how these women, who burned high calories and ate fewer calories, would still give birth to regular sized babies that Dr. Simeons assumed would be born malnourished. His research and observations led to the discovery of high levels of HCG in the bloodstream of pregnant women. Further research then led to the discovery of how the HCG helps the body to release adipose fatty acid into the bloodstream for immediate use and consumption. This means the fetus was being nourished by the mothers adipose body fat.

Dr. Simeons then tried using HCG injections with obese or overweight boys in India to see if the HCG injections together with a very low-calorie diet would help the boys lose adipose body fat. His studies concluded that while taking HCG injections and undergoing a low-calorie diet, specifically low in fats, his patients would lose high amounts of unwanted body fat and maintain lean muscle mass.

After many years of research and trial and error with many users of the HCG Diet, this magnificent diet has evolved. The internet is loaded with plenty of good information, but unfortunately, its also filled with plenty of bad and misleading information. The main things wed like to address briefly here is that this diet originally called for 500 calories per day. Our modern program advocates for higher calories that are consistent with a persons body mass index and body metabolic rate. We customize each persons daily caloric allowance!

Also, you may read online that the FDA does not approve or has made the HCG Diet illegal. This is not true; the FDA has made the sale of FAKE homeopathic HCG drops illegal. Yes, there are people out there selling fake drops of HCG and trying to claim its the real hormone. So, remember, the fake HCG drops are illegal, not the real prescription injections or oral tablets you can get through a licensed Health Care Clinic with certified physicians like the ones youll find at HCG Near Me.

HCG mobilizes the bad fat which we all know as adipose fatty tissue (abnormal fat). Basically, mobilizing bad fat is when the body releases fatty acid into the bloodstream as a mechanism to protect from starvation. There are 3 types of fat:

As mentioned earlier, pregnant females produce extremely high amounts of HCG, over 1 million IUs (International Units) to be exact. Note: this is way higher than the amount of HCG you receive for a 30-day weight loss program (6,000 IU). Everyone, male or female, will receive safe doses for their weight loss program. What the HCG actually does is mobilize the abnormal fat full of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to nourish the unborn fetus.

Dr. Simeons states, In pregnancy, it would be most undesirable if the fetus was offered ample food only when there is a high influx from the intestinal tract. Ideal nutritional conditions for the fetus can only be achieved when the mothers blood is continually saturated with food, regardless of whether she eats or not, as otherwise, a period of starvation might hamper the steady growth of the embryo.

So how does the HCG work for someone taking injections? Basically, a person taking HCG injections and undergoing a low-calorie diet will lose weight because the presence of HCG in their system will cause the body to mobilize adipose body fat and release fatty acid into the bloodstream. HCG does this in a pregnant female to protect the fetus. If you were to do the HCG Diet, since you are now eating a low-calorie diet, you become like the fetus that the HCG is protecting. The HCG ensures you do not starve while you are undergoing a low caloric daily intake. It is for this reason HCG also controls hunger for those taking the injections. Even though you are eating much less, the release of this adipose body tissue into the bloodstream helps keep you nourished and not feeling starved.

When you give yourself the HCG injections, you will also incorporate a specific very low-calorie diet (VLCD) with detailed phases and rules. The actual diet and allowed foods will really reshape your body and provide tremendous health benefits. Your body does need good fats such as reserve and structural to survive but can function without the abnormal adipose fat. Therefore, HCG shots or injections coupled with our 4 phase VLCD will trigger rapid weight loss that is primarily comprised of bad fat.

Absolutely! In fact, men perform better on the HCG Diet than women, sorry ladies. HCG injections have been used in men for years to help treat low testosterone. Physicians have prescribed HCG to men while taking testosterone therapy because HCG helps men to not shut down their own natural testosterone production. If a man took HCG injections alone without testosterone, they would likely increase their own testosterone naturally and gradually with the HCG injection alone. So aside from the benefits of weight loss, HCG injections in men would also help increase natural testosterone levels safely. HCG has also been used in treatments for men who are no longer fertile due to long term drug or steroid abuse. The HCG helps these men produce sperm again after long periods of being shut down.

Dr. Simeons stated years ago, When a male patient hears that he is about to be put into a condition which in some respects resembles pregnancy, he is usually shocked and horrified. The physician must therefore carefully explain that this does not mean that he will be feminized and that HCG in no way interferes with his sex. He must be made to understand that in the interest of the propagation of the species, nature provides for perfect functioning of the regulatory headquarters in the diencephalon during pregnancy and that we are merely using this natural safeguard as a means of correcting the diencephalic disorder which is responsible for his being overweight.

If you undergo a very low-calorie diet long term you will definitely lose weight. The problem is that you will undoubtedly lose high amounts of muscle mass in the process and this spells bad news for your metabolism. If just reducing calories were the simple solution, then why has it not worked in the past? If you landed on our website and are researching the HCG Diet, wed say youve tried other diets with poor or no success at all. The two most obvious reasons one should avoid just reducing calories to lose weight are:

These two simple and straightforward reasons are why so many people fail at weight loss attempts. A combination of HCG injections and the modern VLCD can mobilize and reduce your abnormal fat without hurting your metabolic rate.

The HCG Diet is the hottest medical weight loss program in existence today. If this is your first time learning about it, congratulations, your life is about to change. The original HCG Diet by Dr. Simeons dates back to the 1950s. The original rules called for 500 calories per day for everyone on the diet! This simply does not work for todays society. Everyone has a different engine and motor.

At HCG Near Me, we will customize your daily caloric need and you will be on a Very Low-Calorie Diet thats right for you. Another thing to keep in mind is the evolution of the human body, we are bigger, faster, and stronger than we were almost 70 years ago. We simply all need more calories! We also process foods much different today than foods were processed 70 years ago. Foods were way more organic back then. For these reasons, we have modernized and perfected the HCG Diet for todays patient.

Once you discover youre pregnant, you experience a rush of emotions. You probably have a myriad of questions at the start of your pregnancy. Affinity Health provides these tips on managing the first few months of pregnancy.

The best things in life come in threes, and trimesters make pregnancy an adventure. The changes that occur to you and your baby fall into three main categories:

A full-term pregnancy lasts approximately nine months. Nine months may sound like a long time to wait for your baby to arrive. But you can relax knowing that African bush elephants are pregnant for 22 months!

The first trimester starts on the first day of your last period. It lasts until the end of the 13th week from your last period.

Early signs of pregnancy are unique to each woman. Some women may show initial symptoms within a week or two of conception. Other women might not experience symptoms for the first few months.

Here are a few of the most common early signs of pregnancy:

No one knows the exact cause of morning sickness. The predominant indicator of pregnancy is the presence of the HCG hormone in the blood. HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. A high level of (HCG) or oestrogen may be to blame for the onset of morning sickness.

The following lifestyle factors can also trigger morning sickness:

Pregnant can try eating small, bland, high-protein snacks. Snacks can include crackers, cold meat, or cheese. Sipping water, clear fruit juice (apple juice), or ginger tea can calm morning sickness.

Another early indicator of pregnancy is sore breasts. Wearing a support bra or a larger bra size will relieve discomfort.

Your body is putting in more effort to keep up with the demands of a growing baby. Thus, youll get tired faster than usual.

Take naps or rest during the day when necessary. Iron deficiency can lead to a variety of health problems. Anaemia might make you feel even more exhausted if you eat too little.

Your bladder may feel the strain of your expanding uterus. As a result, you may frequent the restroom more than you expect.

Indigestion, often known as heartburn or acid reflux, is frequent during pregnancy.

Hormone fluctuations and the growing baby pressing against your tummy can cause indigestion. You can help ease indigestion and heartburn by making lifestyle and dietary adjustments.

If you gain weight during pregnancy, this is normal. Most women gain one to three kilograms in the first trimester. But the extra person youre carrying doesnt mean that youre eating for two.

During the first trimester, you need an extra 150 calories each day. Adding the following food to your diet will help you meet your calorie needs:

Throughout your first trimester, you may experience a range of emotions. Hormone fluctuations might make you cranky or irritated. Mood swings are prevalent during pregnancy.

The first few months of pregnancy explained - Lowvelder

For years, Nicole Gibson always dreaded the moment when she would need to buckle her airplane seatbelt.

The frequent fliers fear was not of an impending crash, but of the humiliating possibility that she might not be able to strap herself in due to her obesity.

After losing 150 pounds with the help of bariatric surgery, this is no longer a worry. Gibson can easily buckle a belt across her slim, 55, 120-pound frame.

When I got my weight downand I got in a plane and put my seatbelt on, that was my non-scale victory, Gibson said. I thought, Holy cow, I dont have to struggle to put my seatbelt on now.

The 52-year-old Milford resident recently celebrated the third anniversary of her surgery and only wishes she had done it sooner.

Gibson waged a battle against excessive poundsthat began in her late teens and continued throughout her entire adult life with little success in diet programs including Weight Watchers and Atkins, no-carb and low-carb, and even a horrible HCG diet that restricted her to 500 calories a day.

Despite all her attempts at nearly every diet, nothing worked at decreasing the pounds, and meanwhile, her health problems were increasing along with her weight. Gibson endured sleep apnea, joint pain, pre-diabetes, and low energy.

Her weight took a toll on her mental health, too, as she suffered low self-esteem and a lack of confidence.

In her job as a Novi manufacturing companys training facility coordinator, she felt she had to work harder to prove herself.

In the world we live in, you are judged immediately by your appearance, Gibson said, adding she could never find nice things to wear.

At her heaviest, her clothing size was a 22and she weighed 273 pounds in fall2018. She had just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism when her family physician recommended bariatric surgery.

It certainly wasnt going to be a cheap and painless fix to a years-long battle.

It is a tough thing to go through, its not the easy way out for sure, Gibson said.

However, Dr. Wendy Miller has seen an increasing number of patients over the years at the Beaumont Health Weight Control Centerwhere she is medical director, as they seek the surgery to finally conquer their obesity.

Unfortunately, it has gotten worse over the years, Miller said. The percentage of people with obesity has increased and a lot of people have gained weight during the pandemic, too.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 73.6 % of Americans over the age of 20 are overweight, including 42.4% who are considered obesewith a body mass index of 30 or greater. Obesity prevalence hasincreased from 30.5% in 1999-2000 to 42.4% in 2017-2018.

COVID has exacerbated sedentary lifestyles that were already on the rise. Miller points to increased use of devices including cell phones and social media and in addition to more sitting, more consumption of processed, high-sugar foods and beverages.

All of this has definitely led to an increase in the number of bariatric surgery patients, both locally and nationally. There is a larger percentage who qualify for the surgery as well, but who choose not to have it, or arent aware they are a candidate for the surgery which is commonly covered by medical insurance.

The patients Miller and the Beaumont Health team sees are ones just like Gibson they have tried diets, exercise, medications, and lost, but still regained the weight. Surgery was not their first resort, but the one that they hope ultimately will turn their weight, and their lives, around.

Its really rewarding to see the transformation in people, their whole outlook changes, very positive environment and fun for our whole staff to see improvement in quality of life for people, Miller said. Several different clinical trials show bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for people with severe weight problems, more effective than diet and exercise."

To qualify for surgery, a patients body mass index (weight in relation to height) must be 40 or above, or greater than 35 with at least one weight-related medical issue, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea or high cholesterol. They must also undergo a psychological evaluation to ensure they are in a good mental state for a positive outcome post-surgery, since a drastic change starts, but doesnt end, on the operating table.

Gibson had the most common bariatric procedure offered by Beaumont Health, the gastric bypass surgery, in which the stomach is divided into two sections, resulting in a one-ounce pouch about the size of an egg and a reduced appetite.

Millersaid the surgery is considered very safe, with a low risk that is comparable to gall bladder surgery, and minimally invasive. Patients typically return to work within two weeks.

Gibson was nervous pre-surgery,but also excited and well-preparedwith six months of meetings pre-surgery on diet, exercise and what would be expected of her in the future.

You are signing up for a lot when you get the surgery, she said. You dont just get this and are done, they retrain your brain and start you on the path of being more mindful of eating.

Gibson lost 30 pounds in preparation for her March 18, 2019, surgeryand on the operating table weighed about 250 pounds. She left the hospital the following day and in the days that followed, consumed a lot of soup and yogurt, mashed potatoes and soft foods in general.

What she had to give up entirely was carbonated beverages. Because she had previously drank Diet Coke every day, all day long, she thought this might be tough, but it wasnt. She now drinks coffee and iced tea and a lot of water.She avoids fried foods. She was never a meat eater, but she focuses on her protein intake by continuing to eat fish, cheese, and eggs.

The body cant process high levels of sugar after gastric bypass. While she was never big on sweets, she has cut down on carbohydrates including pasta, rice, and bread. She eats smaller meals, more frequently. In the morning she might have a cheese stickor a hard-boiled egg. A few hours later, a yogurt, then two hours after that, some almonds. Dinner consists of maybe a piece of fish and a small salad. She eats a lot of beans black, kidney, pinto, or refried for the protein.

She takes vitamin supplementsand her exercise routine simply is walking.

The weight began falling off instantaneously and continued for a full year and a half. In her support group, people told her dont go and buy a new wardrobe frequently. But it was fun for Gibson, a thrift store shopper who in addition to her full-time job also works at the Clothing Cove in Milford.

She found a lot of encouragement from her friends there, too, as well as from her parents and best friend Cathy, and said she lucked out in that way, as she couldnt imagine going through such a major life change without all the support she had.

In total, Gibson lost 150 pounds and 70 inches in the course of about 18 months. She now maintains her weight between 121 to 124 pounds, and alternates between a size 2 and size 4. Besides her improved weight and size, her complexion is better, her hair is better, and her overall health and outlook is better. She is looking forward to living a longer, healthier life and leaving the burden of weight she carried behind.

I think everyones point to go forward with surgery might be different, Gibson said. I wish I would have done it many years prior, but the right time was when it was and that is what I did. I absolutely feel like a new person, with more energy and increased self-confidence. It was life-changing.

A Milford woman lost 150 pounds and transformed her life after years of struggle - Hometown Life

New Delhi [India], April 14 (ANI/NewsVoir): The 20th edition of RGCON, the annual international conference of Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre (RGCIRC) Delhi will be held on the theme of "Frontiers in Uro Oncology" on April 15, 16 and 17, 2022 at New Delhi. In tandem with the multimodal approach being used to treat cancers, all the three departments of medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology have come together to hold RGCON 2022. As one-of-its-kind conclave of medical fraternity, RGCON holds a special place in the healthcare calendar of the country. RGCON will have faculty from all leading hospitals in India including AIIMS, Tata Memorial Hospital Mumbai, Varanasi, HCG Bangalore, HCG Ahmedabad and about 15 faculties drawn from major cancer care centres around the world.

With more basic research, real-world clinical practice patterns, and in-depth discussions of data, RGCON 2022 will help to expand the knowledge and explore the latest in Oncology for all the participants. The scientific program includes workshop, lectures, and panel discussions/debates & has been designed to include diagnostic as well as therapeutic Uro-Oncology.

Speaking about the new drug therapies, Dr Vineet Talwar Director - Medical Oncology, RGCIRC said, "Earlier it used to be only chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for treatment of urinary tract cancers. Increasingly, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are assuming a major role since the side effects of these therapies are far less and translate in improvement in the quality of life. For instance in case of cancer of the urinary bladder where patients generally present themselves in the elderly age group, immunotherapy can be easily tolerated as compared to conventional chemotherapy. Secondly, the results of immunotherapy drugs are found to be equal to chemotherapy or even better so, these can be used alone, or in combination with chemotherapy drugs to potentiate their benefit." "Today, the detection rates of urinary tract cancers have gone up because of specialized techniques available. For example, in prostate cancer, there is a special kind of a PSMA (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen) PET CT scan, that provides better sensitivity and specificity as compared to the conventional FDG PET CT Scan," said Dr Talwar.

Symptoms of urinary tract cancers such as bleeding in urine, burning in urine, restriction in the flow of urine manifest much earlier and can be cured if diagnosed early and treatment commenced. However awareness is an issue in India besides financial constraints. If a patient is under treatment of a general practitioner and not getting cured for 4-6 weeks, there needs to be a high index of suspicion and one should go for higher investigation. Affordability of targetted therapy and immunotherapy drugs is a practical issue. Fortunately in some cases, generic drugs have come in which are more affordable. Dr Talwar advised in favour of a healthy lifestyle, proper diet, exercise and normal sleeping hours and avoiding addiction to smoking/alcohol to prevent the cancers to a large extent.

According to Dr Munish Gairola, Director Radiation Oncology RGCIRC, "Radiation oncology as a field has progressed rapidly especially in terms of precision and targeted treatments. One such example is the use of cyberknife that uses hypofractionation; high dose per fraction which reduces treatment time considerably. Similarly another technique that will be discussed at RGCON'22 is proton beam therapy which has revolutionised management of urological malignancies especially prostatic cancer. The uniqueness of this conference lies in the sheer amount of human exposure present at the conference with both national and international senior faculties with exclusive working experience in urological cancers." RGCON is a prime example of a multidisciplinary approach with high end academic discussion involving case discussions, clinical oriented scenarios and technical demonstrations on contouring and planning. Prostatic brachytherapy is well practiced treatment option where many renowned institutes follow uniform international consensus on LDR or HDR. This is the reason we have kept a session where both Indian and international perspectives are discussed and correlated.

According to Dr Amitabh Singh, Consultant, Department of Genito-Uro Oncology at RGCIRC, "New techniques for the cancer surgery will be a centre of attraction at the RGCON. For instance in case of prostate cancer surgery, Dr S Rawal will be demonstrating Retizius Sparing Radical Prostatectomy. For kidney cancers, 3D reconstruction model will be discussed that helps in planning of the surgery as it has been shown to decrease the intraoperative time besides post-operative complications." "Robotic surgery helps us exercise control much like open surgery with the advantages of the laparoscopic surgeries like very small incision, less blood loss, less post-operative pain, early post-operative recovery and early discharge from the hospital and also less post-operative wound related complications," added Dr Singh.

Among the prostate, urinary bladder and kidney cancers, prostate cancer is more common. Worldwide it is the second most common cancer. In India too, the incidence is very high since we are detecting more and more prostate cancers in their early stages with the help of biomarkers like PSA. "For kidney cancer, there are three risk factors namely obesity, high blood pressure and smoking. For bladder cancer, the most common risk factor is smoking and exposure to heavy metals like arsenic. It has been observed that obesity, high fat diet, consumption of red meat, are all a known risk factor for the prostate cancer," added Dr Amitabh.
