The current “cholesterol-centric” approach to the prevention and treatment of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) fails to address important underlying factors associated with the body’s response to the vast array of insults that the cardiovascular system [...]
This webinar examines the role of anabolic enhancing adaptogens in the maintenance of health and in the management of catabolic disease states. Many disease states are associated with increased tissue breakdown. Anabolic-enhancing botanical compounds can [...]
Pain-relieving botanicals have been used for millennia in traditional medical systems. Currently, scientists in the field of pain research are studying botanical extracts as they search for compounds that work through pathways other than the opioid [...]
Written By Donnie Yance, MH, CN To understand how adaptogens support our bodies in dealing with toxins, let’s take a look at detoxification on a cellular level. The phenomenon of hormesis provides a novel way of viewing [...]
Written By Donnie Yance, MH, CN Adaptogenic formulas are the foundation of botanical medicine. They offer an innovative approach to therapeutic intervention of chronic diseases and ageing, as they allow for the modulation of endogenous cellular defense [...]
Written By Donnie Yance, MH, CN The science of epigenetics is turning what we’ve long held true about biological destiny upside down. Although it remains true that our DNA—our genetic code—provides the blueprint for our physiological makeup, [...]
