		<description><![CDATA[ Without your realizing it, modern medicine has withheld the options you need to make healthy, informed decisions. In essence, your sexual energy has fallen victim to ignorance and misinformation.

Most doctors think testosterone is a privilege for men only. While men certainly need it, the idea that it has no place in a woman’s life is not only wrong, it’s dangerous.

When your levels drop, you’ll feel it: loss of motivation, heavy fatigue, and little to no interest in the things that usually make you happy, including sex.

But I’ve discovered compelling studies that support what I’ve known for years: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This past holiday season, I had a few patients come to me after taking antidepressants.

The drugs weren’t doing anything for them. This is something I see all too often.

Antidepressants are prescribed for everything under the sun. Many times for symptoms that don’t even fall under the prescription guidelines.

But it’s big business. In a recent study, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that antidepressant drugs are the most prescribed drug in America.

Unfortunately, they rarely work. In fact, they can do more harm than good...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Did you ever hear that suicides increase on Christmas? Well, how about some good news? It’s just not true. I looked it up in every database I could find. And, well … it’s a myth.

But it is true that when Christmas rolls around, and the days are shorter, your bodily rhythms get out of kilter, and you may experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD syndrome. SAD is what we used to call the “winter blues.” Even here in sunny Florida, the days aren’t quite as bright or as long, and we start feeling the effects.

The thing about SAD is you may not even know you have it. You just know you feel a little down. And the added stress of the holidays can add to the problem...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Health Conscious Reader, Here’s yet another disturbing case of the FDA dragging its feet… After 70-plus years, the FDA is finally warning doctors that a category of drugs used by millions to treat seizures, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches doubles your risk of suicide.1 Of the 43,892 people aged 5 and older [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Member, Do you get blue on Christmas? You should be happy…right? But sometimes we feel stressed, anxious, lonely, or depressed. If you go to your doctor he’ll give you drugs. These drugs are not only expensive, but they have dangerous side effects. And the long-term impacts on your health are anybody’s guess &#8211; insomnia, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Member, I have new evidence that the common herb, St. John’s wort, works just as well as standard antidepressants like Paxil, Zoloft or Effexor—with far fewer side effects. Researchers in Germany ran a “meta-study” of 29 clinical trials looking at St. John’s wort as a treatment for major depression.1 In nine of the larger [...]]]></description>

And in many cases, all the drugs, exercise, and other treatments in the world won’t help unless you address this one thing first. Let me tell you a story to illustrate this point.
