Question: I am a woman with thinning hair. Can you suggest anything either to slow it down or stop it?

Thinning hair could be caused by a variety of unrelated situations. I know women who have worn their hair pulled tightly back in a ponytail or bun for years and they are now starting to show a receding hairline around the bangs and crown area due to a lack of circulation in this area. If you feel that blood flow is impeded, regular scalp massage has proven helpful, and you may also want to try...Read More »

You may have seen or heard the words “inside-out” when referring to a specific approach to skin care, hair regrowth, health renewal, etc, but what does that mean? While it may sound strange to some, this catchphrase refers to nourishing the body on the inside through a healthy diet and/or supplementation to produce an “external” benefit for a particular health concern.

You’ll want to choose the right supplement for your needs, so read the labels carefully and do your homework. For example, if...Read More »

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin and a member of the B-complex group. Biotin, also known as Vitamin H, is essential for the normal metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates. Biotin works with your body to produce energy by helping to break down the proteins in your diet. Biotin also helps your body obtain energy from other foods that you eat.

Time and time again I tried to lose weight. Many "naturalist" people rightly say that there are better ways to lose weight. Despite that fact, I found gastric bypass to be advantageous. I don't absorb as many calories, fats, vitamins as I used to but in our society of food being SO available that's good. I lost a lot of weight and gained some of it back. It's said that my weight will most likely never be what it was pre-surgery. I do a lot more now in taking vitamins, minerals and supplements. I...Read More »

Health Tips update for Thursday, July 29:  Biotin supplements are becoming more and more popular for their natural hair and nail health benefits. Biotin is one of the B vitamins (B7), and a deficiency is often seen in hair and nails—an example of how outward appearance can reflect the general health and wellness on the inside.
