Physical HealthCold has a dramatic effect on the body: Step into a cold shower or jump into an icy lake, and you’ll likely feel your heart race and your lungs gasp for air. Your blood vessels constrict (a process called vasoconstriction), and you may start shivering. Your newly alert brain activates cold-shock proteins, which bind to nucleic acids and other proteins to help your body adapt to the cold. The molecules regulate various cellular processes, including metabolism and the stress response.

Some integrative-health practitioners see the recent rise in thyroid-related diseases — including hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer — as evidence that we need more iodine than public health guidelines suggest. “Many feel the current adult RDA of 150 mcg per day was provided as a baseline to prevent goiter and is not an appropriate level for ideal iodine balance to allow for its full range of benefits,” explains Malini Ghoshal, RPh, MS.

Humans have a complicated relationship with hexapods. They buzz us, pester us, spook us; they find their way to our food, sip our drinks, eat our plants; they can bite us, sting us, and infect us with diseases. It’s not for nothing we term any creepy-crawly thing — whether it’s a true insect or not, such as spiders and ticks — a “bug.”But the truth is, we can’t live without them.

Good health is all about balance. We focus on balancing our hormones, our diets, and even our skin’s pH. For the sake of our mental health, we try to create work–life balance. But most of us don’t think about keeping our body’s natural fungi in balance. Candida albicans is a type of yeast that occurs naturally on the skin and in the mouth and intestines. When the balance between that yeast and healthy bacteria in the body is disrupted, candida can overgrow and cause a fungal infection.

Dental appointments are seldom appropriate occasions for deep conversations about scientific breakthroughs — or anything else, for that matter. So, I decided not to interrupt my dentist the other day while she was working on one of my troublesome molars to ask her whether she thinks the bacteria in my mouth may cause Alzheimer’s. She was kind of busy, after all. And I found it difficult to enunciate.
