Hormonal deficiencies can be detected through a combination of blood, urine, and saliva tests. In most people with symptoms of chronic fatigue, the production of various hormones—which are important for energy levels—is too low: thyroid hormone (thyroxine), DHEA, cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and growth hormone. When deficiencies occur, I [...]
Exercise is essential for extending one’s life. People who exercise regularly are seven times less likely to develop cancer. People who exercise vigorously rarely develop heart disease. Vigorous exercise (at least three times a week for half an hour, meaning that your heart rate should increase significantly and you should break a sweat!) ensures [...]
A healthy mind in a healthy body remains fundamentally important as a preventive anti-aging measure. Psychological stress is particularly harmful to the body and weakens the immune system. Stress paves the way for many chronic diseases, such as cancer, atherosclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and others. Yoga, meditation, relaxation, and breathing exercises are important techniques [...]
Depending on the blood test results and individual needs, certain hormones—such as thyroid hormone, DHEA, testosterone, growth hormone, progesterone, estrogen, etc.—may be prescribed.
Nutritional supplements are essential for an effective anti-aging program. Few people have a balanced diet, and our food contains far fewer vitamins and minerals than it did a few decades ago, due to intensive farming methods. This has led to a widespread deficiency in magnesium and selenium. On top of that, we consume far more vitamins and minerals [...]
Use the Mediterranean diet as a guide: 3 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables (raw and cooked) daily. Avoid all refined carbohydrates (white sugar, white flour) and replace them with whole grains (whole-grain bread, whole-grain pasta, brown rice). Avoid red meat. Replace it with chicken, turkey, or soy-based products (soy burgers, [...]
Even in the short term, you can achieve significant improvements in your cholesterol levels and address remaining risk factors for atherosclerosis by changing your diet. Following the Paleolithic diet for ten days leads to a significant reduction in blood pressure, blood sugar levels, insulin production, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Follow the Paleolithic [...]
The following supplements can not only prevent atherosclerosis, but they will also help reduce it once it has developed (daily doses): Vitamin K₂: 0.18 mg to 0.25 mg Vitamin B complex: at least 50 mg Magnesium: 300–500 mg of elemental magnesium (in the form of glycinate, citrate, or taurate; no magnesium [...]
A combination of cardio exercise (endurance training) and strength training is ideal. When exercising, your heart rate should increase significantly during the first 30 minutes. As a general rule, you should aim for a heart rate that is 70 percent higher than your resting heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is calculated as 220 minus your [...]
The bodies of most patients suffering from fatigue are burdened by heavy metals. Due to industrial pollution, chemicals and heavy metals enter our bodies through the air we breathe and the food we eat. Dyes, woodworking products, insecticides, pesticides, oil combustion, vaccinations, marine pollution (heavy metals and PCBs in [...]
