By Donna Young, Health Policy Reviewer – Premature cord clamping leaves infants subtly and seriously impaired, by stripping them of vital oxygenated blood, iron stores, and essential stem cells. This standard policy compromises brain myelination, weakens cardiovascular transition, and leaves newborns unnecessarily vulnerable.
By Deborah Nathan – Menopause-related bone loss can affect both cortical bone, the dense outer layer of bone, and trabecular bone, the porous, honeycomb-like bone found inside areas such as the spine, hip, and ends of long bones. Because trabecular bone is remodeled more frequently than cortical bone, it may be affected earlier and more rapidly by estrogen decline.

By Donnie Yance – The future of natural compounds in HER2-positive cancer treatment lies not in their use as monotherapies but in their strategic integration into comprehensive, personalized treatment protocols. The challenge for researchers and clinicians is to move beyond preclinical promise to rigorous clinical validation, establishing evidence-based protocols that harness the therapeutic potential of natural compounds while maintaining the scientific rigor that patients deserve.
By Erik Peper, PhD, BCB – Menstrual pain doesn’t have to be endured in silence or masked by medication alone. By practicing slow diaphragmatic breathing, women may be able to reduce pain, stress, and discomfort — while building self-awareness and confidence in their body’s natural rhythms.
All the hormones in the body are a symphony. Much like an orchestra must play in tune, your hormonal symphony must be in tune throughout your life in order for you to have optimal health.

Black cohosh has often been suggested to breast cancer patients to help control their hot flashes as it has been generally assumed safe and without a cancer stimulating effect. A study published in March 2007 showed that taking black cohosh was associated with prolonged disease-free survival, and a rate of recurrence that was 83% of the nonusers.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vital antioxidant and enzyme that plays a key role in cellular energy production, is found naturally in the body, and is being increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for maintaining overall health and vitality. It is crucial for mitochondrial function, helping convert food into energy, and studies have shown that CoQ10 supplementation can benefit various health conditions. It has been linked to improved heart health, can help with neurodegenerative diseases, cancer treatment, immune function, and fatigue.
While some nutrients, like folic acid and DHA, are essential during pregnancy and lactation, not all supplements are safe during these sensitive periods, and some can pose risks to the developing fetus, or be transmitted through breast milk,
