Home » Diet & Nutrition August 23, 2017 Is Keto Bad for the Thyroid? By Mark Sisson 0 Comments   Print Keto is fantastic , everyone says. It’s a great way to lose weight, improve cognition , and stave off degenerative disease. It may help your performance in the gym and on the track . It could even give Grandpa some respite from Alzheimer’s. But it’s hell on your thyroid . Right? Keto detractors and proponents alike often warn that remaining in ketosis will tank your thyroid. The thyroid’s an important gland, exerting major influence over essential systems like fertility, energy, metabolism, body temperature regulation, blood lipids, and general wellness. It controls the metabolic rate of every organ in the body. We want it working well, so this is a major blow to keto—if the criticism holds true. Fortunately, there’s much more to this story. The Problem with Keto—Thyroid Research Up till now, the vast majority of studies on the effects of low-carb, hi...

Those dog days of summer Breakfast chocolate smoothie and toast. When we woke up on Monday morning I told Mazen we didn’t have to leave the house today — no camp, no school, no particular place to go! We spent the morning in our jammies and built a massive pillow fort downstairs while watching Moana again . Lunch sammie with garden tomatoes! Mazen actually got mad when I suggested we go to the pool. “But you told me we were staying home all day!” I was starting to get cabin fever and needed to go out, plus — the eclipse! He actually loved watching it. We went to the pool to watch, and a thunderstorm had the same idea. We had clear skies all day and then the clouds suddenly rolled in. I wondered if some kind of apocalypse was actually happening! Thomas met us there with our one pair of glasses he magically found that morning (so unprepared) and we crossed our fingers that the clouds would part. They did, just in time! We all saw the eclipse with the glasses. Mazen though...

Home » Fitness August 22, 2017 How to Take the Weight of the World off Your Shoulders (One Move at a Time) By Guest 0 Comments   Print Today’s awesome guest post is offered up by a good friend to MDA—Ryan Hurst, Co-founder and Head Coach at GMB Fitness. I hope it helps you during your work week. Enjoy, everyone! Our shoulders carry a lot of our stress. We hunch forward at our desks trying to get work done, tensing up over issues we thought we’d fixed already. And it doesn’t help that we often have to stay in the same position, even if we are lucky enough to have standing desks, typing or doing some other repetitive tasks. As a result, a lot of us have issues with tight shoulders, and we know we really should move and stretch them, but stiffness and aches can make this even more difficult and uncomfortable. And that dreaded vicious cycle sets in. Your shoulders are tight because you don’t move like you should, but when you start moving it starts to hurt. And th...

Hey, everybody. There’s a regular post coming this morning, but I wanted to remind everyone about the Interpreting Your Genetics Summit . I’ve talked about various genetic tests on the blog before and the ways I’ve used them to understand my own health. That said, this field is exploding these days, and I’m excited to hear from the 31 experts offering the latest in genetic/genomic information. The Interpreting Your Genetics Summit is online and free from August 21-28. You’ll learn: Your predisposition for diseases and how to minimize manifestation.

Just so you know, today’s talks include Genetics and Autoimmune Diseases, Understanding Methy...
