As a Functional Medicine practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand the debilitating effects that osteoporosis and osteoarthritis can have on my patients’ quality of life. While conventional treatments can help manage symptoms, they often come with unwanted side effects and fail to address the underlying causes of bone loss and joint degeneration. That’s why I’m excited to share the latest research on curcumin, a natural compound that shows tremendous promise for preventing and treating these conditions. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, a spice used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. In recent years, scientists have begun to uncover the multiple mechanisms curcumin supports bone health. The evidence is compelling: Curcumin supplementation has been shown to reduce bone turnover markers and increase bone mineral density in postmenopausal women...

And one of the most exciting areas of innovation in this field is the use of nootropics—compounds that enhance memory, creativity, motivation, and overall cognitive function. When you hear the word “nootropic,ˮ you might think of prescription smart drugs or questionable supplements promising unrealistic results. But the truth is many safe, natural nootropics have been used in traditional healing systems for centuries and are now being validated by cutting-edge scientific research.

Could Colostrum Be Your Secret Weapon Against Allergies This Spring?

Spring is in the air, and while that means blooming flowers and warmer weather, it also signals the start of allergy season for many people. If you’re one of the millions who suffer from seasonal allergies, you might dread the sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose that come with this time of year. Over-the-counter allergy medications like Benadryl and Claritin can offer some relief. But they also have significant side effects and risks, including drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, increased blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and insomnia. Prolonged use of nasal decongestant sprays may result in rebound congestion, worsening symptoms when the medication is discontinued. Natural remedies like quercetin and black seed oil (Nigella sativa) can also be helpful and typically have fewer side effects and risks....

Beta-glucan: A “Jack of All Trades” for Immune Health

Health

Beta-glucans are a type of soluble fiber found in the cell walls of yeast, mushrooms, oats, and barley that have been shown to provide immune-modulating effects. While all beta-glucans have health benefits, the beta-glucans derived from yeast and mushrooms have specific effects on the immune system due to their unique structure. They are among the few compounds that can stimulate and regulate the immune system at the same time. In this article, I’ll explore the mechanisms and research behind yeast and mushroom beta-glucans as “biological response modifiers,” outline their unique immune health benefits, and explain how to implement them into your daily routine. What is a “biological response modifier” (BRM)? Many compounds and medications that affect immune function either suppress or boost it. For example, steroids are used to globally...
