Expert Advice in H ealth and Nutrition
By : Abby Sayler
I have just purchased 5HTP from your store for my daughter ’ s depression and anxiety before her period . For best results should she start taking it 10 days before her period or should she take it everyday ? She takes a multivitamin everyday and primrose oil 10 days before her period . Really appreciate your help in this matter . - Maureen D ear Maureen , A lthough she could take it daily , if she only gets depressed and anxious prior to her period , I think it may help . Your daughter may have estrogen dominance in the postovulatory phase of her cycle . This often causes depression and anxiety , irritability , bloating , etc . “ Myomin ” by D r . C hi has helped many of my clients get rid of the P MS depression . Two to three caps two times a day may remove her symptoms . Your daughter should be on flax or fish oil to balance the �mega � primrose oil she is taking . Let me know how she is doing . Sincerely , A bby
My 10 year old daughter is suffering from extreme fear of everything from insects to dogs . She is on asthma medication and has many allergies . She also craves carbohydrates and has insomnia . - Kevin
H i K evin , �our daughter may be severely deficient in the � vitamins . I recommend a co-enzymated B complex that she would take upon rising in the morning and another at 3pm in the afternoon . A product called “ Moducare ” may help her with her allergies . She could take 2 or 3 with her B vitamins and at bedtime . C raving carbs may be due to blood sugar imbalances which can also interrupt her sleep . I recommend balancing each of her meals and snacks by including protein , a healthy fat and fiber �such as flaxseed meal� . �ou may contact me if you have questions . Sincerely , A bby
I take the Vitamin Code multivitamin and omega 3 fish oil . I ’ d like to add calcium / magnesium to my daily vitamins , since I am Asian and lactose intolerant . I ’ m worried about osteoporosis , what do you recommend ? Thank you . -Maylee D ear Maylee , I am not an advocate for calcium supplementation unless it is from a food source , such as algae , if osteopenia or osteoporosis has been determined . E ating lots of organic greens will supply calcium . It is important to know your V itamin D 3 level as V itamin D assists
calcium into the bone . A lso , magnesium is important for absorption of calcium . So , I do recommend additional magnesium if you are osteoporotic . B one health is dependent upon proper hormone balance . Low progesterone or low testosterone will impede osteoblasts ( new bone cells ) which replace the old bone . If you find this is the case , taking “ Myomin ” helps raise progesterone and testosterone levels . C all for additional questions . Sincerely , A bby
I had an adrenal stress profile in December . The test shows I have abnormally high levels of cortisol throughout the day . The normal range on the test was 23nM to 42nM and mine was 43 ! Over the past four years , I ’ ve noticed changes in my body composition ( especially weight gain around my middle despite an excellent diet and an exercise program ). I ’ ve managed to reduce stress in my life and my current job is less stressful than my previous position , but I feel I need to take supplements to control my cortisol levels . - Gilbert
D ear Gilbert , There are a number of excellent adrenal renewal and support products . A drenal ealth by Gaia and
Adrenal �ptimizer by J arrow are excellent . You should take one upon wakening , wait 30 minutes before eating and take another at 3pm sharp ! ( the adrenals are on a biological clock ) To assist in shedding your abdominal fat , I highly recommend “ Myomin ” which will help raise your testosterone by blocking the aromatase enzyme , which you are producing in your mid section fat . Sincerely , A bby
