Support us by joining our membership
Understanding the Different Forms of Vitamin B6
Before we delve into the paradox, it's important to understand the different forms of vitamin B6. The active form, known as p5p or PLP, is crucial for various functions in the body. However, synthetic forms of B6, such as paradoxine, have been questioned for their effectiveness. The truth is that paradoxine exists in different conformers in nature, making it viable for clinical use. Both paradoxine HCL and paradoxine 5 phosphate can yield positive clinical outcomes.
Addressing Concerns about Synthetic B6 Supplements
Some individuals claim to have experienced harm from synthetic B6 supplements like paradoxine or paradoxine HCL. However, it's important to recognize that misleading posts can create a negative perception of clinicians who prescribe these supplements. Additionally, supplementation with high doses of pyridoxine (greater than 50 milligrams per day) for extended periods may be harmful....

The Flaws in Conventional Medicine Models
The current healthcare system is broken and in dire need of a revamp. This realization came to us through personal health experiences and witnessing the mismanagement within the healthcare industry. Despite having experience in both conventional and alternative medicine, we found both lacking in terms of patient experience and overall effectiveness. This prompted our journey to create a fundamentally different model that focuses on personalized care, shorter wait times, and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than relying solely on supplements and procedures.
Exploring Different Models in Health and Wellness
When it comes to the concept of 'natural,' there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Context plays a crucial role in determining what is considered natural and beneficial for an individual. By exploring different models in health and wellness, we can expand our understanding and improve...

The Clickbait Culture: Separating Fact from Fiction
The fitness industry is rife with clickbait headlines and absolute statements about how estrogen is detrimental to our health. But is it really that simple? The truth is, the relationship between estrogen and our well-being is much more complex. Let's explore the factors that influence estrogen levels and why it's important to look beyond the surface-level claims.
The Role of Toxic Burden and Metabolic Reactions
High estrogen levels in humans are not solely determined by hormones. Toxic burden, which includes exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds, and metabolic reactions can also impact estrogen levels. It's important to consider the bigger picture when assessing hormonal health and not solely blame estrogen for any physiological dysfunction.
Estrogen: Not Necessarily the Villain

Hormone Therapy and Dementia Risk
Recent studies have actually shown that hormone therapy may lower the risk of developing dementia, especially if started in midlife. Younger women who begin hormone therapy early have a reduced risk of developing dementia. Additionally, combination therapy with estrogen and progestogen has been found to have a positive effect on dementia risk. However, it's important to note that taking combination hormone therapy after 10 years post menopause may raise the risk of developing dementia. So, the timing and duration of hormone therapy play a crucial role in its potential impact on dementia risk.
The Role of Synthetic Hormones
Some studies suggest that using synthetic hormones may actually decrease the risk of dementia. It's worth noting that the increase in dementia risk associated with hormone therapy might not be solely due to the hormones themselves, but could also be influenced by factors such...

Going Beyond Surface-Level Information
In school, the focus is often on memorizing facts and learning basic protocols. However, when working with clients and patients, healthcare professionals quickly realize that surface-level information is not enough. To provide optimal care, it is essential to consider lifestyle factors, stress levels, nutrition, and other aspects that could impact a person's health. This deeper understanding allows for more personalized and effective treatment plans.
Questioning the Standards of Health and Fitness
Over time, the standards for normal health and fitness have been lowered. Medical tests and fitness requirements have been adjusted to match the average American, who may not necessarily be healthy. This realization prompts healthcare professionals to thoroughly investigate health issues, even if initial tests come back normal. It is important to prioritize individualized care and consider all possibilities for...

Iron: A Double-Edged Sword
Iron is crucial for red blood cell production and carrying oxygen throughout the body. However, an excess of iron can cause metabolic imbalances and lead to various health issues. It's important to find the right balance when it comes to iron levels.
The Danger of Free Radicals
Excess iron generates an abundance of free radicals, which can have detrimental effects on health. These unstable molecules can damage cells and contribute to inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, and various diseases. Managing iron levels is essential to prevent the negative impacts of free radicals.
Lower Ferritin Levels and Health
Studies have shown that lower serum ferritin levels are associated with significantly lower mortality rates, particularly from cancer, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease. Maintaining optimal iron levels is crucial in reducing the risk of these serious health conditions.
