What Women Must Know - The Great Cholesterol Myth - 03/13/14

Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease-with Dr. Jonny Bowden

Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols--with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol--have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.

Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS, (aka "The Rogue Nutritionist") is a nationally known expert on weight loss, nutrition and health. He is a board-certified nutritionist with a master’s degree in psychology and the author of fourteen books on health, healing, food and longevity including two best-sellers, “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth” and “Living Low Carb”. A frequent guest on television and radio, he has appeared on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS as an expert on nutrition, weight loss, and  longevity. He is a past member of the Editorial Advisory Board for Men’s Health magazine, is the Nutrition Editor for Pilates Style, and is a regular contributor to AOL, Vanity Fair Online, Clean EatingMagazine, Better Nutrition, and Total Health Magazine Online.  

Dr. Jonny has contributed to articles for dozens of national publications (print and online) including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, Vanity Fair Online, Time,Oxygen, Marie Claire, Diabetes Focus, GQ, US Weekly, Cosmopolitan,Self, Fitness, Family Circle, Allure, Men’s Heath, Prevention, In Style, Natural Health, and many other publications.

What Women Must Know - What You Need to Know to Assess Your Heart Health Risks with Dr.David Zava - 02/27/14

Understand your increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.  Proper management of CardioMetabolic risk factors can support your overall wellness and provide effective tools for improved lifestyle and longevity. Risk factors may include high blood pressure and glucose, elevated triglycerides, abdominal obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking.  A combination of at least three of these risk factors increases your risk for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.  Take control of your health and wellness!

Dr. Zava has devoted his 40 year professional career to exploring the role of hormones in aging and disease.  After completing his Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of Tennessee in 1974, Dr. Zava spent much of his time doing basic research on hormones and breast cancer in Texas, Switzerland, California and Oregon. In 1998, he established ZRT Laboratory, a CLIA-certified laboratory that is a frontrunner in the innovative development of test methods to identify hormonal imbalances that can lead to debilitating symptoms, diminished quality of life, and increased risk for cancers and many of the diseases of aging, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and senile dementia.  ZRT Laboratory was one of the first laboratories to develop and commercialize noninvasive (saliva and dried urine) and semi-invasive (dried blood spots) methods for testing hormones as an alternative to conventional serum testing.  These home collection methods pioneered by ZRT have proven to be far more convenient for the patient and the health care provider and are proving to be extremely valuable for research studies, especially where conventional testing of serum or liquid urine are prohibitively expensive and logistically impossible.  Using these unique methods of body fluid collection, ZRT is actively engaged in hormone research studies with Universities, Government (NIH, CDC) and Military agencies, private physicians, and Professional Sports teams.  In addition to his innovations in clinical laboratory testing and development, and numerous scientific publications over the past 40 years, Dr. Zava coauthored a landmark book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer: How Hormone Balance Can Help Save Your Life.  In this book Dr. Zava and coauthors describe how breast cancer can be caused by hormonal imbalances that occur naturally as we age, but can be prevented if the types of hormonal imbalances are identified with testing and restored to optimal healthy levels with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and improved lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress reduction).www.zrtlab.com
